the Territory.
 The people of Kingman on Wednes- day gave Col. Brodie and his party q fine welcome. The hall was crowded with eager listeners and the speakers were frequently applauded. After the speaking a dance was given in honor of the next delegate to congress.
 Col. Brodie reached Prescott on the regular pass, nger train Thursday after noon and received royal welcome. Almost the entire population of the town were at the depot to greet him, and the procession formed at the depot, led by the brass band, marched to the plaza where the immense crowd was addressed by the Colonel, who was greeted with cheer after cheer.
 The meeting at opera house at night was grand outpouring of the people. Every seat was occupied, as was every inch of standing room, and hundreds of people were turned away. The meet ing was addressed by Col. Brodie. J. H. Collins. F.. s. Clark and Judge C. w. Wright, and their reception wa most enthuastic.
 Col. Brodie spoke in Congress last night and will be in Phoenix tonight, where d royal reception will be given him. A torch light procession, in
 
 which will march 1000 voters. will be one of the features of the meeting.

"Therc-there's Billings out at the
gate. Good-by, my dear. Give Jack my
love when you write-sorry he can't be
up for Easter Good-by." MIR. Mon
tague clapped his hat on his head, sa-
luted his wife, made grab for his cane
and departed.
Then Mrs. Montague sat down to
think of the trials of that time, little
less than a year before. There never
had been in the world, she thought, such
n long and beautiful friendship as that
between herself and Helen Kapulette.
To think that after having gone to the
same identical school together-the
best of chums-they were married the
very same day-to travel in separate di-
rections later, to be sure-and both had
moved to Mayfeld at last to live. Mrs.
Montague recalled every detail of her
order for that fatal Easter bonnet; ex-
actly that delicate shade of yellow, and
what the trimmings were-and every
thing. Then the changes she had or
dered: the eNasperating slowness and
stupidity of Miss lie Fevre; the crazed
despair, when, that Saturday night she
returned so late from calling with
Helen, to find that her bonnet had not
yet arrived. And then that awful time
on Easter morning, before the girl came
weakly up the steps and handed in
the wrong bonnet-a bonnet she had
never seen before-a horrid nightmare
of thing in lavender and pink, which
she had to wear or stay at home-new
blue silk and all.
She wouldn't have believed that Helen
could have worn her own very bonnet
and with yelling over the yellow at that
and then be Sc hateful. She won
dered vaguely if they ever would speak
to each other again. No, she didn't be-
lieve they would; she didn't believe that
Helen was half so ready to forget and
forgive as she. Well, she would just
let Jack get the bonnet in the city this
year, and let the people of Mayfeld stare
if they wished.
So at length she arose and went to her
desk to write to her grown-up "boy."
In the course of time, and several days
before. Easter, the bonnet from the
great metropolis arrived along with a
note from Jack deploring the fact that
he could not have carried it home in
person. 1t was really jewel, dainty
creation of airy, graceful feathers on a
moss-green frame and subdued with
violets that were poised with an ex-
quisite grace, where they nodded and
smiled and seemed to be tossing the
sweetest of perfume kisses to all who
were gracious enough to behold.
But Easter morning! All, how it
brightly outjeweled all others of the

net on parade-but her undercurrent of
thought was still of Helen, though she
parricd the questions of her husband
with the lightest digressions.
Up the steps of the miniature ca
thedral the brilliant throng of Mayfcld
was swarming, faces turned-amid the
gayety of dancing plumes and blooms
that com tested from bonnet to bonnet
to note what their neighbors had
found or created to grace the happy oc-
casion.
Vithin, us Mr.. and Mrs. Montague
walked calmly up the aisle, the organ
was pealing exultantly, pouring forth
it's thousand voices of praise in an ex-
uberant and swelling river of harmony,
as il itself were the fountain of melo-
dies divine.
They took their seats, and reached,
like children, each for the hand of the
other, to exchange gentle pressure.
No sooner had Mrs. Montague com
menced rapid survey of the congrega-
tion-in which her glance went fitting
from one exotic to another, like but
terfly in clover-than she found herself,
abruptly, looking in the face and at the
bonnet of Mrs. Kapulette. And Helen
in return was looking at her and hers,
and the gaze of each was suddenly held.
transfiXed.
Well might the old-time friends open
eyes of famazement-theirb bonnets were
ounterparts-precise reproductions
each of the other; the same moss green,
the same spray of feathers, airy and
flmy, the same mass of violets, nodding
and smiling and tossing their perfume
kisses across the aisle and seats of the
chancel.
Both in confusion at last were glad to
divert their eyes to the hymn books,
held below the pews; but neither was
reading, nor praying, nor seeing n
thing but the twin of her bonnet, and
wondering with might and main how
this singular duplication had been made
possible.
Mrs. Kapulette was guilty of stealing
peek" from the sides of her eyes.
Mrs. Montague was timidly attempting
similar sortie. The glances met and
fell again to the books. The service
commenced, but nothing was heard or
observed, except in a dim, uncertain,
mechanical manner, by the two. They
were quite enough engrossed with at
tempts to flank the enemy.
In the midst of the battle of glances,
which had gone so far that each was
now feeling singularly humorous and
amused, their gaze was focused on a
striking pair of tall young people gIid-
ing silently by and up the aisle side by
side.
They were Julia Kapulettc, the daugh-
ter of Helen, and John Henry Monta-
que, the son of Fanny. And they sat in

EXTRACTED HONEY.
A Pennsylvania BeeI<eeper Tells How
to Prepare n Really Pure
and Wholesome Article.

Comb honey is an ornament and gem
orally luxury. Extracted honey is a
plain food and can be enjoyed by the
masses. 1t can be produced more
oheaply and in larger quantity than that
in the comb. If it is intelligently pro-
duced and properly handled it is pref
cradle to comb honey simply as food
or table sauce, though not ornamental.
There is so much adulterated glucose
mixture on the market sold as extracted
honey that the producer of good ar
ticle cannot compete with it in price.
Under the circumstances many of our
producers of extracted honey took a
short cut and extracted green" honey
and ripened it artificially which pro-
duces very inferior article. This poor
honey and the adulterated mixtures
have so demoralized the general mar
ket for extracted honey that if we wish
to profitably produce fine favored, we'll
ripened extracted honey, we must make
a local trade for it.
For some years 1 produced a limited
quantity of extra fine extracted honey
and sold it to local customers, and
many prefer it to comb honey. Bees
gather nectar, but they make it into
honey. If we extract it before the bees
have ripened it, that is, made it into
honey, it will be but little better than
the glucose mixtures now so general
on our market. What the bees do to the
nectar l cannot fully explain, but do
know that to have fine extracted honey
with that ambrosial aroma that dis
tinguishes it from all other sweets. we
must allow the bees 20 ripen it fully in
the hives before extracting.
My plan is to have plenty of comb
and. extracting supers and when one is
filled | raise it up and put an empty one
under it and repeat as often as is neces-
sary. In this way my honey is fully
ripened on the hive and the bees always
have plenty of room 20 store and rarely
swarm. By careful management not
more than one-third to one-half is
capped and that saves considerable un-
Gaping, and also saves considerable
work for the bees. When the honey
flow is over allow the last to ripen and
then extract. 1t is hard work to throw
out such heavy honey, but l was always
paid for it thus far. While ordinary
honey is selling for six to seven cents
/ could sell mine for ten to twelve cent
and often did not have enough to meet
the demand.-L. W. Lightly, in Amer.

THE DATE OF EASTER.
Why 1t Is Sometimes Early and mt
Other Times Late.


The date of Easter is determined by
the ecclesiastical calendar of the Cath
olic church. 1t is very complicated
and laborious affair invented by Lilius,
a Neapolitan astronomer and sage, un-
der Pope Gregory KILL, at the close
of the sixteenth century. 1t would be
preposterous to tax the brains of mod
ern readers with the abstruse calcula-
tions by which the date of Easter is
determined, but few general rules
might be given for their enlightenment.
The regulations of the council of
Nice are four: First, Easter must be
celebrated on a Sunday; second, this
Sunday must follow the fourteenth day
of the paschal moon; third, the paschal
moon is that moon whose fourteenth
day falls on or next follows the day
of the vernal equinox; fourth, the
equinox is fixed invariably in the cal
endar on the 21st day of March.
This calendar moon, it should be re-
membered, is not the moon of the heav-
ems nor yet the moon of the astron-
omers, but it is an imaginary moon
created for ecclesiastical convenience.
From these conditions it follows that
Easter Sunday cannot happen earlier
than the 22d of March or later than the
25th of April.-rDetroit Free Press.

year. The sun shone warmly from
fawless sky of turquoise hue; the trees
wore freshest, fairest emerald leaves, or
pearl and ruby blossoms; the grass was
asparkle with diamond dew, and the
birds were chorusing in anthems as
clear and sweet as the crystal tinlsle,
tinlile rung from pebbles by the brook.
Mr.. and Mrs. Montague not only were
in harmony with all the scene, but were
really part and parcel of it, as, with
faces gay with smiles, they slowly
walked the way to church. The bells
had never sounded half SO musical and
liquid bright-that is, except on one oc-
casion, to which, indeed, Mr.. Montague
was moved now to allude.
Just such a morning as this" said
he, with buoyancy in his voice, that
we went to the chapel-so many, and
yet it seems so very few years ago.
What day that was! And what a lot
of sunshine we have had ever since"
"Oh, yes! And didn't the girls look
pretty-and Helen-Mrs.-Mrs. Kapu-
lette?"
''I'd call her Helen-wouldn't you,
Fanny-to-day? Wasn't it odd that
Helen should have been the one to in
troduce us? What lively pair you
used to make-you twol"
A glow had come in the cheek of Mrs.
Montague and an extra brightness in
her eyes She felt yearning toward
the girl who had been her chum-the
tall young lady who had found her mate
the matronly woman whom long she
had loved.
~ wish could see the way" she
mused aloud; "but know she wouldn't

What way, my dear?" said her hus-
band, when she paused. "What do you
know-about whom? Who wouldn't

bonnet that is on that lady ahead!" She
chatted along admiringly-as we'll she

NOT A PERFECT FOOD.
Sunfower Seed Is Not as Good nn EGG
Producer rs Some Would Have
Us Believe.

A few, who seem to be interested for
some reason in booming sunflower seed
as poultry feed, are persistently claim
ing everything for it as an egg pro-
ducer. Our own experience with it is
that it is not a good feed for this pur-
pose, and analysis of it shows that it
is essentially fattening food and not
such a one as would promote the pro-
duction of eggs if fed in large quanti-
ties.
That sunflower seed is excellent in
moderate quantities no one we'll posted
will deny. 1t is one of the best feeds
that can be given poultry of any kind
in the fall when the fowls are moulting,
and as it happens to ripen about that
time ii comes at a season when it is
most useful.
At other times in the year an oc-
casional feed of sunfiower seed answers
in the place of oil meal and similar
feeds, and makes a variety which lay
ing hens like. These seeds may be pro
duced so cheaply that every poultry
keeper should raise n supply for his
own use, as they do well in odd cor
ners, and grow under very little encour-
agement.
From a window through which can
look as l write this, can see acres that
are overgrown every summer with wild
sunfowers, and the seeds from these
are devoured by poultry and pigeons in
large quantities in the fall. These
seeds are much smaller than those of
the cultivated varieties of sunflowers
and for that reason better feed, but the
larger kinds are better to grow or
cultivated land, as the yield is much
greater.
We believe in the value of sunfiower
seed for poultry, but the man who
makes them a large part of the feed
# his poultry will find that he has made
mistake in trying to stimulate egg
production by that process.-Farmers
Voice.
