Deadly RacilIi in Inks.

Experiments have recently beef;
completed at Guys Hospital, London.
and at Berlin and Leipslc, by eminent
German bacteriologists, which show
that all the ordinary writing fluids

acter. In one London school, an ink
stand was found to be filed with ink
which swarmed with the bacilli of tu-
berculosis. In some of the German
inks, the bacilli of typhus diphtheria,
and smallpox We're found.
In view of thu habit some persons
have of removing ink spots with the
tongue, this discovery is alarming.
Children especially should be caution
ed in this matter. as they are in greater
danger from the use of infectious writ
ing fluids. The presence of these path
ogenie organisms in ink accounts for
the painful sores which sometimes re-
suit from the scratch Of q penthouse

Is always a costly one. Whoever ac-
cepts it expects to pay heavily for the
honor. No lord mayor ever energies

$50 900 poorer for the experience; but
the honor of knighthood is invariably
bestowed upon him, and his wife en-
joys the distinction of being addressed
as lady. No alderman who has passed
the chair ever returns to it. Re-elec-
ton to the office never occurs. No al
derman is willing to pay the tolls twice.

Skill in Bee Culture.

Simplicity and efficiency are the
main requirements of the modern bee
hive. The hive produces no honey, but
it is an Indispensable implement in bee
culture. The best implement is often
a failure in inefficient hands, while an
efficient operator can make partial
success even with poor tools, but for a
first-class Job we look for a good me-
chanic with the best tools. In the pro
duction of honey we must produce the
very finest goods at the lowest possible
figure.
This we can accomplish only by hav-
ing the best bees, the best hives and
implements and handling the same in.

who rides "hobbies" and runs after
'fads'' in bee culture will have a lean

"Bil1" Anthony, Who Informed His
Captain the Ship Was Sinking.
On the Hateful evening of Feb. Il,
when the United States cruiser Maine
was lying peacefully at anchor in the
| harbor of Havana, William Anthony,

as sentry on the port deck of the war
ship. He passed up and down before
the cabin of Capt. Sigsbee, whose or

writing a letter TO his wife.
Suddenly there came that fearful eX-
plosion, whose echoes will linger long in
the hearts of the American people. The
great snip was lifted bodily out OF the
water fol moment Then as size SANK
the decks were torn open and death and
destruction we're scattered all around.
Anthony stood at his post, rifle in hand,
during the trying ordeal. AT the first
explosion Capt. Sigsbee rushed out OF
his cabin, and as he did SO he was
struck in the cheek by a flying missile.
He stumbled against Anthony. That
brave marine, as steady as if he were

made this simple speech, which has
since made his name known from the
Atlantic to the Pacific:

out the boats and save his comrades.

Burned Lime as a Fertilizer.

Wherever limestone abounds it will
pay farmers to take some of these
stones and subject them to as intense
heat as possible. This decomposes the
lime in the stone, turning it white and
making it into finepowder by putting
water on If. This makes an excellent
fertilizer. 1t may be thought that lime
is not needed ON land where limestone
abounds. But in its natural state lime
stone dissolves by rains much too slow
ly for the best growth of crops. Lime
is necessity for the wheat crop. 1t is
also valuable in the garden, especially
for cabbages, which require 1t to pre-
vent them from becoming club-rooted,

picket extending upward for fifteen
inches every twelve feet. TO these ex-
tended ends of the pickets is stretched
a twefve-inch strip of wire netting, as
shown in the sketch. In the promi-
nence of the pickets the fowls do not
clearly notice the netting until they
fly against it. After few trials they
will give up the attempt to fly over.

Great Br ain to Join in the Partition

Great Britain will no longer attempt t.
maintain the status quo or resist the par

the mobilization of the British feet at
Hong Kong followed prolonged meeting

counterpoise to the recent acquisitions of
Russia, France and Germany, that Eng
land should seek a new naval base in
China. It is thought that the island of
Chusan, on the province of CheKiang, is
the most likely place to be chosen for this
purpose.

Early Potatoes In Gardens.

1t is the habit of most farmers to
plant a few potatoes for early use in
the garden. But this is bad practice,
because often the potatoes are planted
on the same ground year after year,
and as the germs of disease live in the
soil over winter, the potatoes thus
grown are most likely to be diseased.
Besides, where potatoes are grown in
succession, the soil is filled with hard
shell potato bugs, which come UP just
about the time the potatoes do, and will
often be found gnawing the potato
shoots before it is fairly out of the
ground. 1t is much better to plow a
clover sod somewhere ON rich land for
the early potatoes, and reserve the gar
den for vegetables not so easily grown
by field culture.
