Most Mastery In tho Annals Of War.

Perhaps the annals of modern war
fare cannot furnish another instance
of q retreat conducted with such sig
nal ability. From Dalton to tho
works around Atlanta Johnston
slowly marched. The federals fol
lowed leisurely. There was no rush,
no panic, nothing like an ordinary
retreat. The confedsrates left moth
ing behind them that could benefit
the enemy. They carried their sup
plies. wagon trains and cannon.
along with them. Slowly but surely
since those stormy days the opinion
has been growing that, after all, this
Fabian soldier was the real hero of
the Atlanta campaign. The most
famous generals in tho north and in
Europe have united In pronouncing
the retreat from Dalton eminently
wise, skillful and successful up to

the scene in the role of commander,

The Worm in the Cigarette.

The worst trouble that cigarette
dealers have to contend with is the to-
bacco wcevil 1t is new insect, or at
least it was few years ago, when it
appeared at leading cigarette factories
in the south and bid fair to ruiz the
business. 1t was the only insect, so far
as known, except the tobacco -worm,
that could thrive on tobacco, and no
inject powder had the least effect on it.
One or two factories in Richmond were,
some years ago, compelled to change
ti.cir quarters to get rid OF the weevils.
They finally succeeded, but every little
while IA big box of cigarettes is found
spoiled, the insects having bored
through it in every direction. They
seem to prefer cigarettes as places to
deposit their eggs, and if any one per
ceives strange taste or smell in q
cigarette he is smoking, just let him
stop, pull it to pieces and ascertain
whether or not he is smoking tobacco
bugs. Interview in St. Louis Globe

When to Buy Bees.

Professor Cook says ON this subject in
his book on bee keeping: 1t is safe to
purchase any time in the summer. In
April or May (of course you will pur-
chase very strong stocks), if in the lati-
tude of New York or Chicago-it will be
earlier further south-you will be able
to pay more, as you will secure the in
crease of both honey and bees. If you
desire to purchase in autumn that you
may gain the experience of winterlng,
either demand that the one of whom
you purchase insure the safe uniting Of
the bees, or else that he reduce the SELL
ing price at least one-third from his
rates the next April. Otherwise the
novice had better purchase in the spring
If you are to transfer at once, it is de-
sirable that you buy in the spring, as 1t
is vexatious, especially for the beginners,
to transfer when the hives are crowded
with brood and honey.

Our Agricultural Exnnrts.

According to report of the Stats
tician Of the department of agriculture
about one-tenth of our agricultural prod
ucts is exported. The sum is, however,
made up from very few articles. These
are cotton, tobacco, meats, breadstuffs
and cheese. Seven-tenths of the cotton
product goes to foreign markets. All
other articles, except those above stated,
when put together are but per cent. of
the exports. The expectation of tobacco
is not increasing materially or 50 rapidly
as home consumption. More cheese could
be sold fits reputation for quality should
be kept up and there were more DISPOSE
ton to cater to fastidious or peculiar
foreign tastes Butter exports could be
made larger if they were of better quail
ity. Our great American crop-corn-
is chiefly consumed on the spot, not more
than one-siXth, it is said, going beyond
the boundary of the county in which it
is grown, and only 2 to per cent being
now exported. Nearly two-thirds of this
crop is produced in seven states-Ohio.
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas
and Nebraska, few others producing
more than is required at home, and the
larger portion having u deficiency to be
supplied by those seven states.

A curious accident happened in the
autumn of 1889 during trial of a
second class torpedo boat belonging to
the Danish government. The boat was
running at full speed in a moderate
sea. with the usual number of men on
beard, when without warning she
rolled over and sank Both engineer
and fireman were closed in their com
partment. The engineer, Angelo Ben
son, was standing just forward of his
engine, and as he felt the listing of the
boat he grasped the handle of the
hatch, meaning to open it; but the
boat went over, and just as he was
about to escape the oil tank was
emptied on his head, nearly suffocatina
him.
Upon recovering Benson found that
the rusll of water was too great to
allow his escape, So he coolly waited
until the interior of the boat was filed,
and then pulled himself through the
hatchway and struck out for the sur
face, where he found several of the
crew swimming about and waiting &c
be relieved. The accident was due tc
some error in the distribution oil
weights. The boat was raised, rear
ranged and is now doing good service.

Are incubators profitable? The answer
to this much vexed question remains the
same as last year-namely, yes and no.
Under favorable conditions-such as a
superior machine, good eggs. and an intel
ligent and above all patient management
-incubators have been made profitable;
otherwise there is more money in the hen
Mr.. George q. Dow is one of the authori-
ties on poultry matters who think the
artificial incubators are not profitable.
J. X Fleck is another stern defender OF
the hen and sl1eptical concerning incuba-
tors and incuDated chicks. An authority
in The Fanciers' journal gets at the real
issue in the remark that there is really
more in the proper rearing of the incu-
bator chicks after they are Matched than
in the Matching. He says: ''We hatch
chickens by both hen and incubator, and
relterate the statement that artiticially
Matched and reared chickens will lay as
well, feel as well and score as well as
those raised by natures methods"

way as TO add, in the estimation of art
critics, greatly to the beauty and symme-
