HAMBURG, Sept. 10.-The weather has

breeze today. Although the thermome-
ter has stood at sixty-nine degrees
Fahrenheit most of the day, the rise in
temperature has been hardly noticeable
as the air has been dry and invigorating
The decrease in the number of fresh
cases and deaths continue. YESTERDAY
the fresh cases numbered 7S9. or 1Os
fewer than Thursday: the deaths have
numbered 246, or 81 fewer than yester-
day. There have been 4Sl burials. or II
fewer than yesterday. In the cholera
hospitals 2,34l patients are under treat
ment. since Thursday there has been a
rapid decline of the epidemic in the
harbor district, and but thirty or forty
patients are in the cholera barracks
there
The general betterment of the oitv's

been noticeable on the streets, although

along the Eurnon Alster, which has been
deserted since Sept. 9, a few persons
might have been seen at any time this
afternoon taking sH airing. Cafes which
have had hardly ten patrons a day
doubled their business. The newspapers
seize the opportunity to tell the truth
and reiterate their assurances that the

close near the bottom to confne the
young poults, yet well ventilated under
the caves, over which the inclined board
roof projects on every side to keep the
rain from beating in. In the front and

Water for Bees.

When lees have formed the habit of
going to any place for water it is a diff.
cult matter to prevent their continuing
to go to the same place, and hence they
should be provided with water at home
early in the spring, and be "enticed'
there for their regular supply. The ed
itor of The American Bee journal sug-
gests that a little salt in the water at
the home trough will make it inviting
to the bees, and at the same time to give

ERROR IN KILLING POTATOES AND CORN.
Take the same care in cultivating
corn, the roots Of which are nearer the
surface than potato roots and more easi-
ly injured. Both corn and potatoes send
out roots from the young plants two or
three times as long as the height Of the
plants. Avoid cutting the corn roots,
therefore, near the plants. In the cut is
also represented a hilled young corn
