destroys all future haryests of sweet

The bees provided against their tree

Though the Confederate army, when
General Lee surrendered, surrendered
many thousand muskets," said an ord
nance officer of the army, Il have great
doubts If 100 of them are still in the
possession Of the government. In the
armories of the government in Illinois,
Massachusetts and California n few
may have been kept, but there are but
few. The War Department has n
few, but the wagon loads of them have
disappeared no one knows exactly
where. AS an arm the rifles surrend-
cred were without value except I'm n
few commands where they had secured
modern guns. They were hurrledly
and cheaply made, generally by con
tract work. | can't state now exactly
how many thousand muskets there
were, but there were least 10000 re-
corded as having been surrendered
My own idea is that the most of them
were broken up as valuless, though a
great quantity of them were sold as
junk and scrap iron. The cannon have
also gone out of eXistence--most of
them in the same way."-Washington

1t is n common mistake TO consider
self-denial as virtue. The truth Is that
the two are quite opposite In their ma

able; one Is II struggle, the other IL

harmony; one is negative. the other pos
Tive. Virtue In Its true and high sense
whole of self Is In accord with 1t. The
vlrtuous man is one who not only
chooses the right and the good so far
ms he can find 1t, but who wishes TO
choose 1t, and is rendered happy by so
doing. This Is what we call the beauty
OF goodness and rs far as II is ever
reached, so far has self-denial vanished.

Sandy soils are always deficient in
potash. Even If they had this mineral,
they have usually so little vegetable

helps Itself until its caustic properties
are lost. But old leached ashes are
often quite as beneficial to sandy soils

There has been great Improvement In
both the shape and quality of tomatoes
since we first knew and liked them. The
original tomato was very rough, had
little pulp, and was merely n bag of
seeds and water with very thick, tough
skin. The first improvement was in Sc
curing sound and smooth tomatoes. but
somewhat smaller than the fruit was
originally. But for many years we have
had tomatoes full of pulp, and having
comparatively few seeds. These are
much the best for cooking and canning,
as when cooked there is something to
them besides seeds.

There is n rivalry between the Tam
worth and the improved Yorkshire as
TO which is the better bacon hog. The
fact Of the Tamworth being a compare
lively new breed in America gives ii
the advantage of novelty. Both breeds
are popular with the bacon-curers. The
Yorkshire makes an excellent cross OH
the short-bodied sows of any grade,
though the writer does not advise that
course. The farmer endeayoring TO
breed up a type of hogs suitable for
bacon should, if possible, improve with
Yorkshire blood on the maternal line,
and instead of obtaining n pure-bred
Yorkshire or Tamworth sire, should in
every case obtain the dam in prefer
ence to the sire. But there is a strong
aversion in the minds of farmers gen
orally to breeding long-sided hogs, and
the long snout of the Tamworth Is an
almost impossible barrier in the way

A Bear that Could rite.

Another man who depended on the
assurance that bears are arrant cow
ards. and will run from any human

occasion TO amend his opinion. On the

the same size, and they had n couple of
dogs. Between them they were pretty
well armed. as they thought, and count

hunting Is uncertain business.
They had not gone far into the woods
on Mission Creek, fifteen miles from
Lewiston. when the dogs stirred up
something which. to judge from their
excited actions, was not Il grouse. The
hunters went to see what 1t was, and
found the dogs barking at she CHINA

n kind of den in the rocks.
The Indian boy was In advance, and
the bear had no sooner seen him than
she rushed out Mt him. Matthew did
the best thing he could think of-he
fired his little rifle In the bears face.
But the wound only enraged her. She
sprang on the boy, bore him down, and
began to tear him with her teeth and
claws.
The white man was meantime com
