In his letter to Secretary Carlisle,
Mr.. David A.Wells indicates the source
from which the government may
wisely and safely obtain 81. 00U, 600 OF
needed revenue. The tax ON distilled
spirits, lie shows, is already as high as
II can DO put without promoting illicit
distillation and lessenng the revenue
FROM spirits. But tho tax on fermented
liquors could DO safely doubled. This
tax has been practically uniform since
1868 at tho rate OF 81 per barrel OF 81
gallons. or about 20 per cent ad valo
rem. II amounts to about one-iiftI
OF II cent ON every half-pint glass oi
beer.
Under this moderate tax the pro
duct has grown from d2, 905, 600 gal
Ions In 1865 to l,0Tl, lS3. coo gallons in
1883, or an increase OF tine per capita

1. How many seasons should a queen
be kept laying? Q. What is the average
age of queens if left alone? was query
answered not long ago in the columns of
The American Bee Journal.
G. II. Differn replied as follows: 1. A
queen begins to fail after the second

Queer will see that his queens do not get
much older than that. 3. If left entirely
alone, they would probably average
about 0 years. ......

way keep pretty nearly up with them
The average is about 3 years. Many
queens are superseded at years old:
many more at 3, and nearly all at 4.
Mrs. Jenny Atchley of Texas answered:
/. Taking everything into consideration,
it might be best to keep queens only 9
years, and, to answer the second part of
the question, will say that 2years is
about an average life for queens in this
locality, but good queens often do good
service even the fourth year. 2. 1t real
ly would be hard TO average up, as SO
much depends upon circumstances.

deciding on the price he can afford to
pay for raw manure originally the gar
dener will have to take this feature in
consideration.
These heaps may be made during au-
tumn and early winter right on the arabic
land, and the material will generally be
ready to be spread upon the soil where
wanted when the time for planting 1t
with spring crops has arrived. 1t is alb
solutely necessary that these heaps be of
considerable depth, not less than four
feet, in order to prevent the rainwater
from teaching clear through and washing
away valuable food elements.
The compost heap while in process of
construction is the most appropriate
dumping place for vegetable rubbish of
all sorts, the carcasses Of animals Qarger
ones cut in pieces, house and kitchen
slops and other waste materials Refuse
matter of this kind often adds greatly
to the value of the compost.
For general garden crops this manure,
when in the right condition well rotted),
is applied broadcast and thoroughly
mixed all through the soil, generally by
blowing under in lap furrow style and
by thorough narrowing.

Another thing brought out was that
IL Is impossible for American boys 10
learn the trade. MIR. Bodine told the
committee that the window.glass
manufacturers had been losing money
for the past three years, principally
for the reason they could not com.
pete successfully with European
manufacturers. Belgium. he said
could deliver glass Ia this country
cheaper than American manufacturers
could ship 1t from one point to an
other on the railroads.
j. p. Everhart, OF Pittsburg, presl
dent OF the Window Glass Workers
Association, app enred i'll the lnteres
of the glass workers for protection.

Eneournge Children to sIer.A.

Children who are allowed or rather en-
cOuaged 10 take Il nap in the daytime will
not only sleep just rs well at night, but
will sleep much better because of it. Chill
drcn who haze been accustomed to it, when
for some special reason it is necessary TO
miss it, become overtired, their nerves are
oyertaNed, and it is sometimes quite trial
of patience to get them quoted for the
night. The little ones need plenty of sleep
and il well will not sleep any more than is
good for them. Therefore, say, let them
sleep all that they will or can, and II your
boy will take nap during the day until lie
is or years of age he will not be any the
worse for it, Rather, in my way Of think
ing, he will be n great deal better for 1t, and
so will the mother-that is, If he is as active
and noisy as the average wee laddies So
don't try to "break up his naptime On
the contrary, encourage him to keep it up
just as long as he will do so.-Chicago

The full moon Oh September %, next
Monday, Is known as the Harvest
Noon" In Great Britain September
is the "harvest month"; and the full
moon oil September is so called from
that fact. The popularity oil this full
moon is that it rises several nightt
near the same hour instead OF an houl
or more later each night, In tn,
higher latitude OF Great Britain the
phenomenon is much more striking,
At tho equator there ia no difference
between this ami other full moons
The harvest moon is due to the fact
that at tho time OF the autumna
equinox the full moon, which is neces
saliiy opposite tho sun. is In that part
of its orbit which uakes the least pos
sible angle with the eastern horizon al

Professor Virgins believes that telegraph
wires cause drought; that the atmosphere
cannot absorb moisture unless 1t is charged
with electricity and that upon an oblate
spheroid like the earth the electricity will
inevitably collect at the equator In this
way he explains the frequency of the rains
at the equator III, however," he says,
there he elevated spots on sphere, cleo
triclty will collect on them. Should these
spots or continents be connected by wires,
II might accumulate on each alternately.
This has happened, and America has all
OF the electric energy, and Europe has lost
it, so that our continent is flooded, and Eu-
rope is burned up with drought" His con-
clusinn from all this is that electric wires
should bc buried.-C Chicago Tribune.
