Opals.

An exquisite gem is the opal, its
beautiful creamy surface lit with red,
blue and yellow rays scintillating in the
light and giving it place in the front
rank of precious stones. Unfortunately
the opal has bad NAME and we know
the proverb about the dog with the I'M
lucky cognomen. Superstition credits
this beautiful stone with bringing mis-
fortune to its owner, and superstition
will win its way so long as the world
lasts. The opal is peculiarly brittle and
sometimes crumbles away without any
apparent cause, therefore it has been
branded "unlucIy." But let those
laugh who win, there are still some
who value opals for their worth and
beauty and who can afford to make
merry at the superstitious. The opal is
the type of hope. -Chicago News.

Cereals Grown For Forage.

The common cereal crops, such as
rye, oats, wheat and barley, are often
grown for forage. Rye and oats are used
for this purpose more often than any
Others, although it is common prac-
tice to cut any cereal for hay if condi-
tions are such that it is not likely to
mature crop of grain. Rye is being
very successfully grown for late and
early pasturage in many localities, and
its cultivation is becoming more general
each year. 1t is already quite extensive

Wyoming and some parts of Montana.

Metallizing Wood.

A method of metallizing wood one
by which it becomes very solid and re-
sistant and assumes the appearance of a
true metallic mirror, is described in the
Paris Monde with much detail. Briefly,
the wood j. first Immersed for three or
four days, as may be its degree Of per
meability, in caustic alkaline I've, and
thence passed Immediately into a bath
of hydrosulphite of calcium, to which
is added, after "a or 36 hours, cOncen-
trated solution of sulphur in caustic
potash. The duration of this bath is
about As hours, and its temperature is
from 90 to so degrees Finally the wood
is immersed for 80 or 40 hours in hot
solution of acetate of lead. The wood
prepared in this manner and after hav-
ing undergone a proper drying at a
moderate temperature acquires under o
burnisher of hard wood a polished sur
face and exhibits very brilliant metal
lie luster-a luster still further increas-
ed in its attractiveness if the surface of
the wood be rubbed thoroughly, in the
first place, with piece of lead, tin or
zinc and afterward be polished with a
glass or porcelain burnisher.

IMPROVEMENTS IN BEEH1vEs.

The section holder is represented
lying on the hive and is marked G.
Six of those section holders, containing
four sections each, making "a sections

two tiers are used, doubling the num-
Der to 4S. There will be observed at E,
representing the four sections, the man.
ner in which foundation starters are
used, showing them in the upper part
of the section boxes. d is a separator,
of wood, one-sixteenth Of an inch thick,
which goes between each two rows of
sections and separates them, thus COM
polling the bees to make the honeycomb
straight in the section boxes.
Two bodies are used, one over the
other, for extracting. The upper story
contains eight frames and is the same
in every respect as the brood chamber.
These two stories are used also, or at
least should be used, in building up
strong colonies in spring preparatory to
the honey harvest. A single story is
not of sufficient capacity to contain
strong colonies or is not large enough
to breed up extremely strong colonies
and contain the necessary amount of
stores that such colonies should have on
hand at this period of the season. By
the use of two stories thus almost dou-
BILE the strength of colonies may be at
tanned prior to the honey harvest, and
this always means an increase in the
same proportion to the honey crop.
Comb honey for use in the apiary is
also secured in this way and reserve
of it may be kept on hand for the bees
when at any time they need it, and it
is very small per cent of hives that
do not need frames of good sealed honey
given them in spring and during the
time they are breeding rapidly.

Herr "Undervear.fs

A young German engineer whose
name is Herr "X." Won der Wsrra had
an amusing incident happen to him on
recent ocean voyage which will bear
repeating and which he narrates him
self with relish. On the steamer were
several English ladies who were devot-
ed to whist and who frequently called
upon Herr X. to join them in friendly
rubber. The young man does not care
particularly for the game; but, as the
ladies in question had several charming
girls under their wings, policy as well
as politeness babe him join in the daily
games The young man suffered from a
severe cold, and, in order to protect
himself from the drafts, took occasion
to wear a couple of heavy bicycle sweat
ers in addition to his ordinary clothing.
The ladies sympathized and frequent
ly spoke to Herr X. underwear, as
they pronounced it, about his precau-
tions against additional cold. He was
not particularly well versed in English,
and the pronunciation Of his name puz-
zled him very much-in fact, he
thought they were referring to his
sweaters, so finally he blurted out:
Ladies, why do you call me Mr.. IN
derwear? Is it because Of these sweat
ers?" The reply was lost to posterity in
the roar Of laughter which caused the
windows of the saloon to rattle Phil.

The Omaha Exposition

| When the Worlds fair at Chicago
ceased to exist, it was supposed we would
| ne'er look on its like again. However the
Trans Mississippi Exposition at Omaha
has effectively reproduced in similarity
al of the buildings which made the
White City so attractive in 1893.
1t does not now take weeks to wander
through grounds and structures and
then be compelled to go away with a
tumble Of ideas, for the Omaha EXPOSE
lion people have profted by past exper-
fence, and have SO improved the arrange
ment of EXHIBITS that no more than two
or three days of time need be consumed
in admiration and inspection of the
marvellous resources of the West, collec-
ted together in the chief city of Ne
braska.
Even the Midway, is a reproduction
of the far-famed Street of All Nations of
1893, with many improvements upon the
original.
The electric lights of the buildings,
grounds and lagoon ut night makes
scene of enchanting beauty, alone worth
travelling thousand miles to see
The means of communication between
the city and the grounds are ample, and
distance to be traversed is short.
The ways of reaching Omaha are
innumerable. but the chief among them
is the direct Chicago and Omaha line of
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
Railway, with its electric lighted vestib-
u trains. Dining car service en- route.

News and Notes.

The Palmetto asparagus seems to re-
sist rust better than many other popular
varieties.
1t is expected that the apple crop of
England will be short, owing in part to
the prevalence of insect pests.
Bush cutting is now in order. Cut
the underbrush close to the ground and
heat and drought will do the rest.
Thrashing in some sections is prov
ing the winter wheat crop lighter than
was expected. Reductions from the big
crops anticipated are reported from
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas
Mammoth white winter rye is receiv-
ing commentator for the excellence of
the straw as we'll as the fine quality of
the grain.
The various unfavorable conditions
that have surrounded the corn crop
from the start make it safe, in the opin-
ion of Orange Judd Farmer, to assume
that the total yield will fall materially
below that of last year.

cellency had insulted her. Exchange

THE LATEST BEEHlvES.
Some Parts That Are Practically New and
How They Are Used.

Some Parts That Are Practically New and
How They Are Used.
The accompanying cut of a beehive
is presented by the Kansas Farmer as
showing the latest improvements in
hives at the present time and bidding
fair to be the hive of the future for per-
haps generations, with but little Il any
change. While the principal features
of this hive are old, yet some parts Of
it are practically new, especially the
surplus arrangements The cut is ex-
planned as follows:
B is the body Of hive or brood cham
Der and is hive Of itself and is always
used to contain the colony proper, and
any addition to it is extra in the way
of surplus room. 1t is called lone story
hive" This department contains eight
Langstroth frames, which are in meas
urement 175s inches long and 91s
inches deep. This body contains about
1000 cubic inches, which is considered
the proper size for beehive. 1t is used
exclusively to keep the bees in from
the time they are prepared for winter
in autumn until they are strong enough
in spring to add upper stories.
A is super or half story, which con-
tains "a one pound section boxes and is
used for'comb honey exclusively. This
super is first added at the beginning of
the honey flow, when the colony is
sufficiently strong to receive it. They
are allowed to ocaupy this until about
half full of honey, when another just
like it is added, the empty one placed
under the other, which induces the bees
to occupy all, or both tiers at once,
which they will do, as the one contain
ing the honey is ON top.
E, at the back of the hive, is view
of this same super, showing the position
the section boxes occupy when ON the
hive. The cut E in front of the hive is
a section of the same, being section
holder containing four section boxes.

The Winslow mail., 1898-10-08

The republican party of Arizona
stole the principal plank of the popu-
lists platform-the iniative referen-
dum-with the hope of catching the
populistic vote. The republicans of
California condemn the initiative and
referendum as populistic vagaries. w.
II. L. Barnes, the spokesman of the
Southern Pacific railroad, which cor
poration controls the republican party
of that state, said in speech at Los
Angeles, the other day: "The state
could not afford for million dollars
to have Mcguire governor. The man
who sits in the Governors chair speaks
with authority. His words are more
than the words of a private citizen.
Mcguire could not keep his populistic
vagaries, single tax, the referendum and
initiative, and such matters to himself;
they would soon be put in his mes
sages." It is any promise with them to
catch votes. They have no idea of liv-
ing up to them.

No Danger of Oblivion.

In plaintive speech at Jacksonville
Secretary Alger remarked that it mat

kind the secretary will be buried in {
grave, but he will not be buried in OBJ
livion. The administration of the wal
department by Secretary Alger will
ever remain part of the nations his
tory. It will never be forgotten that
in country of boundless resources
and a plentiful supply of foods OF all
kinds, the nations soldiers went hun
gry because of the commissary depart
ment under Secretary Alger's COM
mand. It will never be forgotten that
with treasury bursting with cash,
the nations defenders suffered for
medicines and the most ordinary arti-
cles to relieve the sick and promote a
return to health, because of insult
ficiency CT the medical department un-
der Secretary Alger's command. 1t
will never be forgotten that the ut
most want of order and practical ad-
ministrative ability was displayed in
the quartermaster's department un-
der Secretary Alger's command. 1t
will never be forgotten that whole reg
iments in camps of instruction, which
were never exposed to the dangers and
hard ships of an actual campaign, were
invalided because of the ignorance and
Indifference and.criminal negligence OF
men under the command of Secretary
Alger By way of comparison it will
never be forgotten that proportionate-
ly more sickness, more deaths, more
suffering was engendered in six months
with 100000 men under Secretary AL

under Secretary Edwin NJ. Stanton

Consistency, Thou Art a Jewel.

Bro Banta, of the Pick and Drill,
publishes long string of extracts from
the Holbrook Argus while he was it's
editor, to prove, we suppose. that he has
been stalwart and consistent repub-
lican. He published a list of those
whom he had supported for delegate to
congress since the organization of the
territory, we presume, for the same pur-
pose. But, he evidently overlooked the
following excerpts, from the same pa
per while he was its editor:
"As we go to press all indications
point unmlstakably to a gold-bug con-
ventiOn at st. Louis, and sequentially
the republicans have sacrificed to the
clamor of the bankers, trusts and cor
porations, an absolute certainty for a
doubtful one at the coming elections
next November" - Holbrook Argus,
June 18, 1896.
Mr. Banta now claims to have taken
up the fight of the "bankers, corpora
tions and trusts" and favored the cleo
tion of Mckinley.
The st. Louis convention was as bad
ly dominated by Wall street influence
as is the present democratic admins.
tration. The time has arrived, SO it
seems to the ordinary observer, when
mere party names must give place to
principles. Principles which at one
time were the mainsprings of both par
ties-republican and nddemocratic-seem
to have been buried deeply within the
muck and mire of a damnably unsrup-
ulous aggrandizement; and now both
those parties belong-body and soul
to an oligarchic money power. 1t now
remains to be seen whether American
