During the past winter three car
loads of potatoes have been imported into
Rocky Ford from the Divide. One car
has been freighted over from Ordway,
and another car will doubtless have to
be purchased to supply the demand until
the new crop is harvested This is not as
it should be. Repeated experiments have
proved the potato crop TO be q profit
able one in the Rocky Ford country, and
our farmers can make money by devoting
large acreage to their production.
When they are raised largely buyers will
be attracted here and money will flow in
instead Of going to other portions Of the
state. There is no reason why potatoes
may not be added to the special crops

Before me sat that execrated states

they were full of character, energy, and,
according to some, cruelty, with tho

by a heavy brow, the strong aquiline
nose aud the full sensual lips He was
in talkative mood and spoke freely Of
the difficulties that beset his onerous
ministry, of the position Of the papacy
becoming daily more threatened through
the ever increasing energy of its wicked
enemies, or what he called "the modern
spirits" But" he added, "history
teaches MS that it has always triumphed
in tho long run, and it will do so now"
He also told mo that tho worldly inter-
ests Of the brothers Antonelli had never
been separated; that they possessed all
their worldly goods in common, ono
brother being director of the Banca Ro-
mana; one, the Conte Gregorio, taking
care of their vast possessions i'll the Pom
tine marshes, third being syndaco Of
Rome and tho youngest being employed
in diplomatic missions by the secretary
of state.
During a short rest he showed me,
with evident pride, over his elegant
apartment, furnished with all the latest
modern comforts. But the crowning cli-
max was the bedroom, combining with
the solemnity and mystery Of the abode

Interesting Facts About tho Skins which
Cover or hdorn the Hands.
Barefooted boys and hens form curl.
Gus partnership in tho making Of pair
of fine gloves.
They work together in preparing the
skins for tho hands Of the fashionable
woman who rushes to the stores every
time new shade of glove is announced.
Thousands of dozens of hens eggs are
used in curing tho hides, and thousands
of boys are employed to work the skins
in clear water by treading on them for
several hours
When woman buys pair Of gloves,
she speaks Of her purchase as kids.
If the clerk who sold her the kid"
gloves knew the secrets of the glove
making business, he might surprise his
fair customer by telling her that those
beautiful, soft, smooth fitting "kid"
gloves came from the shoulders and
belly of 8-weels-old colt whose neck
was slit on the plains of Russia, and
whose tender hide was shipped with
huge bundles Of other colts hides to
France, where they were made up into
"kid" gloves, or he might with equal
regard to the truth tell her that those
gloves in tho other compartment once
darted from tree to tree in South Amer
lea on the back Of ring tailed mon
key And IL ne made the rounds of the
store and could distinguish one skin
from another he could point out kid"
gloves made from the skins Of kangaroos
from Australia; lambs or sheep from
Ohio or Spain or England; calves from
India, muskrats from anywhere, musk
oxen from China and other parts of
Asia; rats, cats and Newfoundland pup
pies.
But the little Russian colt, the four
footed baby from the plains where the
Cossacks live, the colt from tho steppes
of Siberia, where horses are raised by
the thousand, supply the skins which
are the favorites at present with the
glovemakers. Experts say that the colt
skin makes better, stronger, finer glove
than real kidskin. and as the colt is a
little fellow only weeks old when he
is killed but small amount of skin can
be made into gloves, so that tho price IL

But, after all. tho real kid, the live.
ly infant of the goats which live in

MONEY MAKING.
The Quickest Way TO Pile Up Wealth In
This Business Era.


The reason of the modern differences
In favor of business us an instrument II
money making is not far to seek. 1t is
the enormous growth in the scale of ov-
erything in which business can be done.
The enterprise of u merchant, OF u con-
tractor, of mine dealer, oven of shop
keeper, may now cover the whole world
and may be carried on, moreover, main
ly upon credit II may he doubted
whether, except in those transactions
which are called financial, "and which
really mean the taking of heavy bribes
for pecuniary support, any one transac.
tion ever yields quite as much as the
same transactions would have yielded
90 years ago; whether, for example, any
cargo ever produces ton for ton an equal
margin Of profit, or whether any Gus
toner in shop pays quite so heavy
percentage on the goods he buys.
1t is the magnitude and multiplica-
tion of cargoes which yield fortunes,
the thousands instead Of hundreds Of
customers whom clever dealers may in
duce to spend money The new system
of rapid turnover is, of course, precisely
the same thing-the dealer selling four
times what he did and using only the
same capital. This advantage of scale is
almost entirely wanting to the profes
sional man, for the obvious reason that
he il hamperod by limitations of time.
There are only 600 minutes in hard
worked day, and the seeker after in
come, be he as able as he may or as de-
cided or as rapid, must give some of
those minutes to each client or patient
or contractor with difficulty to meet.
IL he does not, he loses custom, and
with custom income rapidly slips away
There are no doubt favorite lawyers,
doctors and even engineers whose ad-
vice is sought at great expense, when
equally good advice is procurable much
cheaper, but still the favorites must give
their advice and lose their days in doing
it, or they will speedily be deserted.
Nothing can alter this first law, while
the exaggeration of professional fees is
kept down in the case of solicitors by
etiquette difficult to define or explain
there seems to be no reason why great
physician should not charge according
to skill-and in that of barristers and
engineers, by competition, which,
though never acknowledged, is none the
less real and effective. We can not sec
what is to alter this condition of affairs,
and do not believe that, however civi.
lization may develop itself, professional
skill will ever again be the quickest
road to large accumulations. London

THE QUEEN BEE.

of n Hive Colony.
A queen bee is essential to the colony.
She is readily picked out, but by close
observer by her great length. She lives
generally for about five years, but her
term Of life varies in different individ.
uals from two to five or six and In rare
instances even to seven years. A queen

hatched comes out full queen. II any
other queen is hatched-and sometimes
one or two more are, pretty soon after
the rightful ruler assails the rival claim
ant in life and death battle, the
'stinger" being piled vigorously like
death dealing sword by both contestants,
while the hive looks on i'm mute interest
to see the issue Of the battle. This is al
most decided i'm favor of the assailant
She is then the undisputed queen and
is so regarded. Yet the great company
Of workers" are in some senses the real
governors. and the hive is great social
democracy II by any mischance the
queen is killed, then the "workers"-
who are undeveloped females-go to
work to produce new one. The egg
they select for the trial is attended to
with tho same care, and the embryo bee
is fed with the same selected food. as ir
the case of the egg that had produced
the legitimate queen. 1t makes queen,
and she serves in that capacity
Except in swarming time, the queen
never leaves the hive, only on the one
occasion of her bridal tour Selecting
some one for her husband, she invites
him out to go with her-and their con-
nubial relations are carried on entirely
while on the wing in the air-like the
chimney swallows. The bridegroom
never returns. He drops dead, and the
queen returns from her one and only
aerial excursion fully fecundated bee,
ready to begin her great life work Of
egg laying. Some days she will lay as
many as 2, 900 eggs; in all, about 20, 900
eggs.
In "swarming" q large part Of the
whole crowd goes out. They leave be-
hind the remains of the old colony,
which had grown TOO numerous, thus
compelling the ''swarming" or seeking
new home by a great part Of the hive.

here they follow closely. II she alights
OH branch or other place, they all set
tie there, olinging closely together in a
great mass, by much the same method
as O mass of burdock burs will stick to-
gether, and the farmers wife and "all
hands" used to bang away on tin pans
to govern the movements of the swarm
by fright If possible.
So close does the swarm follow the
queen that when once in flying over a
lake the queen became weary and drop
ped into the water every bee went down
