while others admit as high as 90 per
cent. of loss among their range sheep.
1t is generally conceded that a change
in the of running sheep dur
ing the winter must be made and the
past season is undoubtedly the last in
southern Wyoming when sheep will be
run on the open range without ade-
quate provision being made for feed
and shelter during severe weather.
Nearly all of the large ~fockmasters are
arranging to purchase Or secure
ranches upon which hay and alfalfa
can be raised and stored for winter
feed. Big corrals will be built and the
size of the fiocks reduced so that free
dom from loss can be insured. This
plan has been pursued in central Wyo-
ming with success and in that part Of
the state the losses during the past
winter were nominal.

IN NEW Works. EARLY DAYS,
The Bowery Was the Resort of Wealth,
Beauty and Fashion.

Beauty and Fashion.
"A pleasant picture occurs to me of
a summer progress of the family of
Governor Stuyvesant to and from the
Westinghouse, for divine worship in
the fort near the Battery CNew York;"
writes Mrs. Burton Harrison in the
Ladies' Home Journal, describing,
when Fashion Graced the Bowery."
"In a brave coach, drawn by shining
horses, is ensconced the Governor him
self, whose long, laced coat half hides
his wooden leg banded with silver. He
wears a carefully curled peruke, and
holds his hat upon his knee, in order
to court the cool sea breeze that fans
his rugged visage. His lady, sitting
in state beside him, is, in their staid
and phlegmatic community, accounted
a brilliant parsonage; her gowns came
out from her native Paris, and her silk
en- hood is worn over frizzled and pow
dered hair; her embroidered hose and
h~igh-heeled shoes, her rings, bracelets
and lockets, with the g~orgeously bound
book of devotions suspended by a gol-
den chain to her waistband-may be
depended upon as models of the very
latest modes. Mrs. Bayard, the widow
ed sister Of the Governor, occupies
seat in the coach facing them. After
service in the bare Colonial church
(where the dominie's sermon, however
eloquent, was always brought to ar
end by three raps from the clerks stick
at the moment when the sands of the
hour glass had announced that the
preachers limit of time had been reach
ed), the Stuyvesant party passes out
between rows of respectful gazers.'

Mr.. Anthony Hope or Hawkins, the
novelist, tells woeful tales of us since
he went home loaded with coin taken
in from us by his lecturing. He says
that he thinks that more than half the
population of the United States are in
reviewers for the press, and that they
are an egotistic, impudent set. Think
of it," says Mr.. Hawkins; instead of
asking me about England they all
wanted to know what l thought about

ACETYLENE GAS.
One Whole City Is Being Lighted
hy IT,

Oho NhOAS S'y DSAh ~
by 1t.
La Nature has the very latest au-
thuritative article upon the use OF
acetylene gas for Illuminating purpos-
es. This gas, which at first was pro-
nounced so dangerous, is now found to
gas, If a proper generator is used by
a careful person. There are good ma
chimes for producing and controlling
the gas, and every one interested in
their details is referred to La Nature,
or the translation of the original ar
ticle in the Scientific American. 1t is
interesting to know that acetylene is
coming more and more into use in
France. Many private consumers use
it, some of the suburbs of Paris are
trying it and n whole city is lighted
by it. The gas is produced, as will be
remembered, by acting on a compound
of calcium and carbon with water. The
calcium is changed to lime by the oxy-
gen in the water, while the carbon
unites with the hydrogen present to
form the inflammable hy%drocarbon
acetylene. This can be shown by a
curious though rather inelegant ex-
pertinent. Take a piece of the stone
like calcium carbide and spit on it.
The water in the saliva is sufficient
to decompose the carbide and the ace
tylene gas may be easily lighted with
a match and will burn as long as the
materials used to produce it hold out.
Though you may understand the chem
istry of the process of the manufac-
ture of acetylene, this practical appli-
cation of the principles involved will
rather startle you the first time you
see il.

Live Stock In New Mexico

The boom days of 1884 are being re-
peated in New Mexico to-day, so far
as concerns the live stock interests.
Within the past few days a number of
pasture leases have been closed on
land in the southern part of Colfax
county. Mr.. Mccormick, son of the
moving machine and reaper manufac-
turer of Chicago, in company with
other Chicago capitalists, has secured
25,OO0 acres on the CIutton ranch.
south of Cimarron, and will stock the
tract with thousands of cattle. An
other deal has been completed whereby
a stock man named J. II. Hicks of Ari-
iona has leased 100000 acres in the
Catskill country and will place about
5000 head of cattle thereon. A Mr..
Biglow from Texas has leased also
about $4,000 acres from the old Horse
Shoe Company and will stock it with
cattle. Thus the stock business with
other movements within the past year
shows great advancement, and in q
short time will assume the enormous
proportions of years ago, when cattle
raising was the most profitable bust
ness of the southwest.

Arguments which have been used
against the tuberculin test are men
toned and refuted, and it is shown
that where there is a possibility Of
danger there is danger, says a contem-
porary. An apparently sound udder
does not guarantee non-tuberculous
milk. The preponderance of tubercu-
losis with poor ventilation, but good
stables and ventilation do not neces-
sarily prevent infection. The tuber-
culin test is both accurate and practi-
cal, and it is not injurious to the health
of a sound animal. With those that
are tuberculosis it may have a cura-
tive effect when the infection has
been recent or is of limited extent, and
1T may aid a tendency to recover in
other cases. The author Is of the opin-
ion that the tuberculin test should be
made a condition of the granting Of
licenses to sell, and should be made
twice a year. Only tested bulls should
be used, and calves from tu%berculous
mothers should be reared upon milk
from non-tuberculous COWS or upon
sterilized milk. Relative to the sub
ject of tuberculous attendants for cat
tie the author thinks that the danger
from this source has been over-esti-
mated.

French Butter Losing the English
Market.-From a report recently is
sued by the French government, a re-
markable decline in the expectation
of French butter to the United King
dom is noticed. The falling off has
been general with regard to this class
of exports, but it is as far as the Eng
lish market is concerned that the de-
cline has been most marked. The value
of salt butter sent to the United King
dom in 1890 was G3, Gao, 900, in 1891 it
fell to e2,320, 900, in 1892 to e2,2S0, 900,
in 1893 to 91,92O, 900, in 1894 it rose
to e1,92O, 900, to fall again in 1895 to
ELSE 6 900; and in 1896 it amounted to
e2,360, 900. The English market for
fresh butter from France is in a worse
state still. The average value of the
export from 1872 to 1881 was 9154,-
I'll, and from 1882 to 1891 only e115,-
COZ. In 1892 the value decreased to
9104, 600, in 1898 to e34,OOO, in 1894
to e11,2SO, in 1895, to $4,000, and in
1896 it amounted to only G1,92O.-Ex.

Protection from Girdling. = Where
fruit trees are kept cultivated there Is
little danger from their being girdled
by mice or rabbits if the ground is free
from weeds or trash of any kind. But
around the edges of the orchard there
is often danger of the pests coming in
from the outside and doing their work.
Mr.. S. G. Rowell says in an exchange
that the greatest danger is likely to
occur in orchards that are in sod or
near woodland. Old trees seldom are
attacked, but young ones should always
receive some protection. Where moth
ing but mice are feared the simplest
and easiest protection is a bank of
earth heaped up around the base of
the tree to the height of a foot. If this
has been neglected a solid tramping of
the snow around the trunks will turn
the mice away.

Spruce Trees of Alaska.-The United

the country is heavily wooded, trees
extending from the water side up the
mountains for 1000 feet or more. The
most common and widely distributed

In some places were seen trees of this
variety of great size. Near some OF

long and four or five feet in diameter.

ties some breeders report that bowel
trouble results and a smaller yield of

Depth of Planting Potatoes.-In
Canada a series of tests on planting
potatoes seemed to indicate that the
best depth was five inches. We do not,
however, know on what kind of a soil
this kind of result was obtained. In
the same trials various kinds of pota-
to seed were used, as whole and cut,
and the seeds or sets were placed at
various distances apart, from n to
three feet. In these tests the best re-
suits were obtained by whole potatoes
at a distance apart of one foot. This
does not, however, prove that under
other conditions and in other soils 9TH
er methods might not be found supe-
rior.

| REPORT OF THE JOINT COMMIT
TEE ON THE INCREASED RE
SPONSIBILITIES OF THE
CHURCH.
On the third day of the session a
joint committee of. three bishops,
three presbyters and two laymen,
was appointed, to whom was ''referr-
ed the question of the increased re-
sponsiblities devolved or to be devolv-
ed upon the church, and also the
question of the obligations to missions
IN Christian countries of the Western
Hemisphere with which this church
may be charged"
The committee was organized by
the election of the bishop of NIissou-
ri as chairman, and the Rev. \. W..
Staircase as secretary.
The committee gratefully recognize
es in resolution of the Brotherhood
of st. Andrew, assembled in its thir-
teenth annual convention. referred to
them, the ready sympathy existing
among earnest churchmen towards a
response to the calls for an enlarged
and more aggressive missionary policy
in the church.
The committee has had under con-
sideration various memorials and in
formation from several sources con-
corning the responsibilities of the
American church in Hawaii, Porto Ri
co, the Philippine Islands, and Cuba.
and also with reference to the English
speaking people in Mexico.
In regard to the present status of
the church in Hawaii, the committee
would respectfully report that they
have examined the various documents
submitted to them, and find that the
status of the church in Hawaii is not
the simple one that might be suppos-
ed to supervene upon the annexation
of the Hawaiian Islands by the Unit
ed States. 1t appears that as a mat
ter of good faith there should be rec
ognized joint relationship entered
into by the late Bishop of California,
the Right Reverend Dr. Kip, with the
authorities of the Church of England,
in the establishment of the church in
Hawaii. While not being in position
to express an opinion as TO the extent
of the present obligation of such rela-
| tioniship, or to forecast it's adjust
| ment to what the committee believes
| should be the ultimate, unqualified
| spiritual jurisdiction of the church in
the United States over all the terrific.
ry of the United States, your commit
tee feel that in view of the said joint
relationship there should be confer
ence with the authorities of the
Church of England before taking any
final and decisive action on the part
of this church. Having due regard for
this and for other considerations in
volving careful and deliberate proceed
ure, your committee has drafted a
resolution touching this matter, which
is appended to this report.

tons to Board of Missions.

The general convention of the Prot

at its session in Washington, gave
considerable attention to the condi-
tions existing here. 1t was consider
ed in committee. with the needs of
Porto Rico, the Philippine Islands and
Cuba, and the report of the commit
tee covered the whole subject. That
part of the report relating to Hawaii,
which became the action of the con-
vention, is here presented:

ted, your committee does not feel call
ed upon to suggest any resolution for
adoption by the general convention in
a matter wherein action already TAX

The committee recommends to the
house of deputies the following reso-
lutions for adoption:
Resolved, The house of bishops con-
curing, that the present situation of
the church in Hawaii is such as to
render it ineXpedient that the church
in the United States should interfere
at this time with the existing status;
and the consideration of spiritual iur-
isdiction therein should be postponed
until conference shall be had through
the presiding bishops with the author

After careful consideration of the
increased responsibilities devolved or
to be devolyed upon this church touch
ing its missionary work, and in view
OF the manifest need of securing infor-
nation and avoiding hasty action, es-
pecially in matters growing out of the
relations of this church to the church
of England, it has seemed best to
your committee to advise the appoint
ment of joint commission, as pro-
vided for in one of the resolutions sub
mitted herewith.
