According to the Chicago Times
Herald J. Norwood Clark, of Iowa
City, Iowa, is the oldest living mem
Der of the order of Odd Fellows. 1t
is more than fifty years since he was
initiated into the order at Baltimore in
the first Odd Fellows building ever
erected in this country He was then
a member of Gratitude Lodge, No. 8.
In 1841 Mr.. Clark took his card from
Baltimore Lodge, and placed it with
Western Lodge, No. "a. He removed
in 1S43 from Western Lodge to Ohio
Lodge, No. l, and his last change was
made in 1855, when he deposited his
card with Eureka Lodge, No. "A, of
Iowa City, where it remains to this
day. Since that time he has never
missed meeting of the lodge, save the
session which was held at Cedar Rap
ids in 1872. In 1S6S-69 Mr.. Clark
was grand representative TO the Sow

DO Bees Fill Up the CraOlss

1t depends entirely on circumstances
whether they do or not. If they are
up in the sections some days before
they begin to work they will chink
them up; but if the weather is hot, and
the honey-Aow good, they are just as
apt to fiji and seal them before doing
any waxing at all. and they sometimes
used to fill and cap entirely the large
wooden boxes which 1 used to make
before sections came in vogue. | fire.
quently made the top out of two
pieces, and they would shrink so that
l could see down, and saw them
filled and capped, SO that 1 could look
right down between every sheet of
honey after taking them off and get
ting the bees out, and not particle
anywhere, but if left on long after they
were filled they would put in propolis;
while if the weather was cool, and they
wanted them warmer, they would fill
them with white wax, the same as they
used in making comb.
But it made me laugh just little to
see you cite Doolittle to case of bees
storing honey in extracting-combs with
n crack 12xg inch over their heads.
Now, haven't you been around bees
long enough to find that they never
stop up crack that they can go through
freely? But may be your bees can't
get through half-inch hole-must be
some dorsata about them.
In answering a question as to the
merits of a tall section over square
one, one writer makes point which /
think is a good one, viz, that it is a
detriment TO bee-keepers when they
adopted the panel sections, and says
the prile-of hoDey%ould not have beer
lowered if we had stuck to the larg'
section, and he is right; and anothe
/ thing besides the extra work of setting
up, putting in foundation, scraping
etc, is that the bees will put up more
honey in large section than in small
ones, Just as they will beat themselves

ten pounds more honey in two than il

for couple of cents less; but then,

is great scarcity.
SO, much against my will, I an
obliged to use the 4fx4i, and 1 prefe

An Oklahoma man, says the Boston
Transcript, has made n proposition to
the Interior Department to corral
what are left of American bison. All
of these animals outside of private es-
tate or public park collections, and
still in wild state, are, according to
this authority, in the Yellowstone
National Park and do not exceed thir-
ty in number. If we are to preserve
the remnant of these once mighty and
almost countless rovers of the plains,
we must be prompt in measures of pro-
lection
1t is hardly more than twenty-five
or thirty years since the biographies
and encyclopedias used to tell, as
feature of unvarying interest in Wes-
tern life, how these animals travelled in
herds of thousands and tens of thous-
ands. In those days every old farmer
covered the seats of the family carry
ell with buffalo skins, as they were
called, because they were the cheap
est protection with which he could
provide himself, but genuine buffalo
robe is now thing of the past.

mesticated may be doubtful, but as

tions of the primitive life of the coun.
try the race should not be permitted
to become extinct,

Grease or oil on sitting hens is posi-

Study the dispositions of your

Successful management of the calf
lies at the foundation of stock-raising,
and there must be no slack in attention
or watchfulness. Securing, the bane
of calf rearing, indicates indigestion,
and results from overfeeding, irregular
feeding, giving food too cold, or per
mitting the young animal to get chilled

is breeding for beef or butter, he

The Highest bridge.

The highest bridge of any kind in
the world is said to be the Leo River
Viaduct ON the Antofagasta Railway,
in Bolivia, South America. The place
where this highest railway structure
has been erected is over the Molo
Rapids in the Upper Andes, and is be-
tween the two sides of a canyon which
is situated 10000 feet from the level
of the Pacific. From the surface of
the stream to the level of the rails this
celebrated bridge is exactly 636l feet
in height, the length of the principal
span is eighty feet, and the distance
between the abutments is 802 feet.
The gauge of the road is twenty-seven
feet six inches, and the trains cross
the bridge at a speed of thirty miles
an hour. Tit Bits.

A WHoPPER OF A WHEEL.
Seven Men Standing on One Another
Head to Reach Its Top.

Seven Men Standing on One Another'S
Head to Reach Its Top.
The largest fywheel in this country
used for mechanical purposes is forty
feet in diameter and weighs 1872, 900
pounds. 1t would take seven men of
average height standing on each 9TH
er's heads to reach the top of the
wheel. Four hundred horsepower is
required to move this monster. When
the full power is on, point upon the
circumference of the weeel travels at
the rate of five and one-third miles
every minute.
The wheel in question is a part Of
the enormous plant of the Ohio Steel
Company, at Youngstown, in the Buck
eye State, and was built by William
Tod & Co., of the same place 1t is of
cast iron, the rim being three-inch
thick plates bolted together. The en-
gine driving this wheel has cylinder
measuring forty-six inches in diameter
and sixty inches in length.
This engine is one of three used to
generate the power required to mill
steel. The other two have fly wheels
weighing only 144, 900 pounds each.
In addition there are a number OF
smaller engines, the total horsepower
of which aggregates the respectable
total of 5000.
The Ohio Steel Company's works are
considered the largest and most com.
plete in this country, and cost SO, 000,
900 to construct. The money needed
was furnished by the descendants o.
the late Governor Tod, of Ohio, ant
by other Ohioan capitalists, including
Senator Mark Hanna.
The output of the plant is about 2,
600 tons of steel rails and billets day
1t requires zoo tons of coke, 200 toni
of coal, fifty tons of limestone ant
about 1000 tons of pig iron every
twenty-four hours.

There is often much loss sustained |
in transplanting crops by the work not
being properly done, TO obviate this
one must have some knowledge of the
business, together with careful per-
Torrance of the work. Carefully OBJ |
serve the state of the crop, or plant, !
We will say, to be transplanted; its
kind and requirements, also the con-
dition of the soil in which it stands
and that to which it is to be removed,
the manner in which the plant requires
to be set and its subsequent treatment.
These points are requisite, and must
be understood and observed.
Hard-wooded plants, such as shrubs
and trees, should never be removed
after new growth has made its appear
ance, for if so the newly-established
feeding roots are torn asunder and de-
stroyed, and the plant is so enfeebled
that it will require season or two to
recover its former vitality, if it lives
at all, which it is not likely to do if the
new growth be advanced to any great
extent In most cases perenuials and
ANNALS, in a thrifty, growing condi-
tions, are much injured by being re-
moved when their buds begin to de-
velop. Some shrubs of the more
hardy nature, however, may, with care,
be removed even after the new growth
is considerably advanced.
Plants that have long on spindle
shaped roots, such as carrots, beets
and parsnips, and also some of the
towering plants having similar-shaped
roots do not bear transplanting as we'll
as do plants which have branching,
tibrous roots. Some advise cutting off
about third of the roots and tops of
such plants when resetting. However,
with some, such as the garden plants
named, we find this unnecessary if the
plants be set when small.
In transplanting plants grown in
pots or boxes, they should be allowed
to become quite dry before they are
removed. Thus, deprived of mois-
ture, which stimulates growth, the
feeding roots become, to a great ex-
tent, matured, and when the plant is
removed it does not suffer such q
shock as would follow if it were in q
stimulated or thrifty, growing condi,
ton.
The soil to which plants are to be
removed should be put in good condi
ton, and the plants carefully set as
soon as possible after they are takeI
up. The roots should be placed a
about the same depth as before ant
carefully spread out, then fine, ricl

any kind, pressed firmly about them

As Victims of a Disease.

1t is proposed, by an Austrian measure,
to treat all persons addicted to the drink
ing habit as victims OF a disease, instead Of
as wilful criminals. Every person convicted
of drunkenness will, therefore, instead OF
being sentenced to prison as a common
criminal be confined In some asylum, much
as the insane now are in the United
States. Here he will remain for term OF
months or years, as may be deemed neoes.
sary to complete his cure. He will be un.

In custody and prevent his escape; and he
will only be released upon examination OF
a medical board, which shall pronounce
him cured of the alcoholic habit.

One of the most puzzled men in town
is Montgomery street restaurant
keeper who recently took in a $50 gold
piece which filled all the ordinary re-
quirements Of genuineness so far rs a
superficial test could reveal the true
facts. But few days ago banker
stepped into his place and saw the $50
gold piece which the restaurant man
had received only short time before.
The banker had a queer look in his
eyes rs he took the coin and raped it
sharply with his knife and the restau-
rant keeper had stranger expression
as he saw his supposed $40 piece break
into two pieces,
"How is this?" he demanded.
The banker answered.. "It is the
same old game. / had one of these
pieces myself, and since that l have
tested gold pieces Of the 500 denomin-
alton very carefully. If that had been
genuine my test would not have broken
it"
Then the restaurant keeper and the
banker carefully examined it together.
The outside of the gold piece was all
right, seemingly, when the discovered
parts were placed together. The mill
ing seemed to be up to the standard.
The weight was correct.
But the inside of the piece was half
filled with composition which was
not the customary gold and alloy. Still
closer examination revealed that the
gold had been sawed through with ex-
quisite care and skill just inside of the
milling Then the milling had been
removed and from the interior of the
piece some of the gold had been ex
tracted and the baser composition wa
made to take the place of the NOR,
precious metal. Then, with equa
deftness and skill the milling had beer
replaced and soldered in some way
and the trick was done.-San Francis

Four Stages OF Alcoholic Progress.

Stage one in the drinking of spirituous
liquor, says recent writer, is that gentle
stimulation called moderate excitement OF
support. Stage two Is elevation; whatever
that may mean it Is not elevation OF char
acter, of that L am satisfied. Stage three
is confusion of mind, action and deed with
sad want OF elevation. Stage four is com
plete concatenation OF circumstances; all
the stages perfectly matured; the journey
completed, with the lying down, absolutely
prostrated in mind and body. The destina-
tion is reached and found to be-a human
being dead drunk and incapable. The
knotty question then is this, ought per
son to start on the remarkable Journey OF
alcoholic progress at all?
