SENATE.

Mr.. Dolph from the committee on foreign

Chinese exclusion bill recently referred to
that committee. 1t provides that all laws
in force now on that subject be extended
10 years.
The following were the most important
bills passed:
To recognize the artillery and infantry of
the army n to increase its efficiency.
Authorizing the secretary of war to cause
an exploration and survey to be made of
the interior of the territory of Alaska.
To amend the railroad land forfeiture
acts so as to permit actual settlers to pur-
chase the lands within three years after
forfeiture.

BEST PLACE FOR BEES.

Bee keeping should have more atten-
ton from farmers. In locating the apIary
select some cool, shady, quietspot. The
hives should never be placed against the
side of a building or close to fence, but
there should always be room to stand on
either side of them while working. The
south side of building is also an OBJ
jectionable place because it is liable
from the intense reflected heat of the
sun-to give them the swarming fever.
Also avoid placing the bees where cattle
or horses constantly pass, as the over
turning of hive by the animals might
produce serious results. The orchard is
a good place for bees, or an apiary and
vineyard may be combined by placing
the hives at good distance apart and
planting a grapevine beside each. Co
not lear that the bees will spoil the fruit,
for it is a settled TACT that they will not
puncture grape in order to get at its
Juices, but will only feed upon it after
the birds have taken bite. Bees arc
not at all destructive, and they are es-
pecialIy valuable because they gather up
and store away that which would b'
wholly lost if it we're not that they car
utilize it.-Chicago Times.

NATURES REMEDIES.
DO May Interest You to Know Some Oh
the Med cal Uses of Fruits.

A noted authority of Philadelphia
thus summarizes the uses OF fruits IN
relieving diseased conditions or the
body. It should not be understood
that edible fruits exert direct medl-
cal effects. They simply encourage
the natural processes by which the
several remedial processes which they
aid are brought about. "Under the

EIECTRIC RANG CURLER.

A surgical instrument of recent inven-
ton is a wire loop, which is heated red
hot by electricity and used for cutting
off tonsils and like excisions. This has
suggested an instrument for curling
bangs which will do away with the ne
cessity for gas jets aud alcohol lamps:
The electrical apparatus will be attached
in similar manner to the curling tongs.
The hair can be wound round the tongs
while they are yet cold, and the connec-
ton then established, which will heat
the iron to the requisite degree as regis
tered by the electrometer. The supe-
riority of this method over the old is
apparent. There will be absolutely no
danger of burning the hair, the forehead
or the fingers, and the curling will be
much more speedily accomplished.
These daily practical uses of electricity
have given an impetus to the subject IN
the schools. A requisite to degree
will yet be: Every girl her own cleo

WEEDS AS FERTILIZERS.

GA weed is any plant that seeks to
grow where it is not wanted by him who
utilizes the soil, 40 matter for what pur
pose" (West Virginia, No. 10, Pages
81 This bulletin shows the high value
of the majority of common weeds as
fertilizer. 1t gives the names of fifty OF
the leading ones, with the average
amount of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash they contain, with the commercial
value in dollars and cents per ton. 1t
also gives in detail how to treat weeds
for the compost heap, which is the best
method of preparing them to be returned
to the soil. The value of some weeds is
rather surprising. For example, 100
pounds of poke weeds (Phytolacca de-
candra, L. contains 1874 pounds of nj
trogen, .65 pounds of phosphoric acid,
and eight pounds of potash. This fer
tilizer has commercial value of $21.9 50
per ton. The value of a few other weeds
per ton as fertilizer, calculated by the
method used for commercial fertilizers
may be interesting. Bitter deck (Rumex
obtusifolius, L. is worth S16.26; bur
dock (Arctium lappa, L. Sl6.69; ox-tall
dairy (Chrysanthemum lencanthemum L.

$1O.27. These figures show that weeds
are we'll worth caring for. In addition
to this is the humus, so necessary to
make mineral elements available as plant
food, which brings the value of the
green plant up nearly as high. Weeds
should always be cut before the seeds
mature, but there are objections to burn
ing, or leaving in the field to rot. The
former method destroys the humus and
volatilizes the nitrogen, the two most
valuable qualities. More than half the
| nitrogen is lost if it rots in the field.
The compost heap makes everything
| available. This should be located with
reference to as little work as possible,
near water supply, if in the field.
Make a base of old fence rails, thick
poles, etc., that will allow air circulation
underneath. Dump load of weeds and
then apply plaster (sulphate of lime) at
the rate of 100 pounds per ton. Repeat
this until the pile is as large as desired.
Cover with turf or earth. In four OF
five days, if the heap is not wet, throw
on some water, to hel , decomposition,
but lot to leach. Such heap will
ripen in about two months. Weed:
may also be composted with barnyard
manure, bedding or other refuse to ad
vantage. -Amelican Agriculturist.

RECORD OF A NOBLE LIFE.

Mrs. DR.. Mary II. White, of West
ern Indiana, recently deceased, leaves
the record of noble life. As a young
girl she obtained means to get an educa-
ton by sewing. In 1854 she began the
study of medicine, at time when such
a course was rewarded by ridicule and
persecution. She practiced her profess
sion with great success, and gave freely
to the poor and afflicted of her time and
skill. Her married life was happy, and
seven children found her wise and de-
voted mother. Few women Of sixty
wears leave such a blessed memory as
this to the world. Brooklyn Citizen.

GRAPE CULTURE.

The time is within the recollection of
MANY owners of improbable vineyards
when the grape was one of the most GER
tain and easily raised crops of the hor-
ticulturist. Wherever Indian corn
would grow grapes seemed to flourish,
and the present diseases of the vine
which have ruined vineyards in so many
localities were unknown. Without at
tempting to name the causes which have
operated so disastrously, it may be ben
eticial to indicate so far as possible the
conditions most favorable to the grape
under the order of things as they now
exist.
1t is beyond dispute that good To-
cality for grapes is one exempt from
heavy dews and practically free from
early frosts. However it may have been
formerly, the injurious effects of heavy
dews upon the grape now are shown IN
the fact that vines under the protection
of an artificial covering will produce
fruit trees from the damaging effects OF
mildew, while the products of adjacent
ones on an uncovered trellis will be COM
paratively worthless. Indeed, it may be
said that wherever grape culture is now
at all profitable it is in localities where
exemption from heavy dews is the nor
NAL condition.

water which accumulate heat while warm
weather prevails, their influence is fell

THE FIRST MUFFS.

Muffs were at first made small and
perfectly round. Then it became the
rage to attach bunch of ribbons to the
middle. The wives of the burgesses
wore them at the beginning of the re-
gency of Anne of Austria made of some
woven material bordered with fur, but
soon changed the fashion. In portrait
of the period the Queen of Denmark IS
represented wearing yellow muff plen-
tifully adorned with ribbons attached to
her person by a jeweled band. Nine.

muff on her wrist and holding prayer

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Fowls will walk away from food as
soon as they have enough.
A raspberry plant, if kept pruned, is
good for ten years bearing.
A light loan, porous subsoil, gives
the best results in the gladiolus.
Guineas are great foragcrs and destroy
many insects that hens will not touch.
The great secret in raising young
ducks is not to allow them to get wet.
Coal ashes should always be sifted be-
fore using for the dust bath of the fowls.
Make it rule to clean the hen nests
every week and paint them with coal
oil.
1t is not good plan to feed the sit
ting hens on the nests; they need little
exercise every day.
There is world of help IN faithful
record of mistakes, and he is wise who
both catalogues and acknowledges them.
Winter radishes may be grown sue
cessfully indoors, in warm window.
Put in q shallow box in rich earth. They
mature rapidly.
Manv farmers, where fencing material
is scarce, have learned to dispense en-
tirely with inside fences, and this plan IS
growing in favor. Useless fences are an
unwarranted expense.
| Some nurserymen now sell trees on
the fve-year plan; that is, the nursery
man is to receive choice of any two crops
grown on the trees inside OF five years IN
payment for the trees.
A little oil meal at the morning or noon
feed about once week keeps the bowels
active, and makes the glossy plumage that
is often such a marked feature in the
prize birds at the poultry shows.
With Bordeaux mixture for fungus
diseases, arsenical compounds for leaf
eating insects and oil ones for others,
the successful cultivation Of many more
plants than before is now made possible.
Egg plants require carly starting,
warm quarters, vigorou: plants, rather
late transplanting to the field, warm
rich and moist soil, constant attention
to potato beetles and frequent cultlva-
ton.
That competition affects agricultural
industry it would be idle to deny, but
this competition does not in the least in
