% to each company. We can reach
the insurgents at long range now. Last
night they made an attack on us. and
bullets were the fad for over an hour,
but the enemy retreated as daylight
came.
San Fernando and Rio Grande are
the places next to be attacked by our
troops. We expect a hard fight there,
as they have all kinds of natural ad-
vantages for defense. The gunboat
Helena will go up the Rio Grande and
take the railroad bridge, while we take
the town. Fernando is said to be
town of 100000 Inhabitants. We also
learn that during the attack last night
that several Filipinos were killed and
the insurgents have brand new
Mauser rifles. 1t must be that they
received a tilibuster. We will have
Mausers galore If we get at Fernando.
We hear that there are nine regiments
of regulars en- route here from Frisco
to relieve the volunteers. We may get
out of here by the first of June l hope

men fall stricken down with the heat.
They are fit for nothing after that.

Guy Churchill, in letter to his pa

We will come back, as they are giving
us the Krag- Jorgensen rifles in place

killed and 10 wounded. Some were
in the hospital when we started out

process Of the court. He also contend
ed that section 1904, read by Mr.. Bick-
ford, was unconstitutional, because 1t
was in violation of section IL of the
constitution of the state, which says
the process of the district court shall
extend to all parts Of the state. Mr..
Connolly also called attention to the
fact that DR.. Hanson's petition did not
show that he had ever demanded his
fees in advance.
In denying the writ, Judge Clancy
said the tender of $40 was not legal
was that the judge of the district
court at Missoula had seen to 1t that
the process was properly issued and
he would therefore not interfere with
it or inquire into it. He said Dr. Han
sons remedy was to go to Missoula
and make a motion to quash the sub
poena, and if the court refused to
quash, he had another remedy.
Habeas corpus proceedings were in
stituted yesterday in behalf of James

Jail since the 18th of last October be-
cause he cannot give a $500 bond to
kill his wife and was arrested, and
Judge Laurandeau required him to give
a $500 peace bond. Lacey has not been
able to give the bond, and under the
peculiar laws of the state he might be
imprisoned for life. It is likely that he
will be turned loose when the case

Dollar Bill.
One of the street sweepers yesterday at
the corner of Main and Broadway flushed
out of the thin mud about two inches of
500 bill He and his brother laborers
searched energetically for the missing and
necessary part of the silver certificate, but
didn't have little bit of success. A by
stander suggested that they go up to Cop
rer or Quartz and look for the other piece.
Another thought it would be well to look
further down the street. A youngster
suggested that the finder give him the
small end of the bill SO that he could
identify the other piece should he happen
to run across it. This was done and the
boy went west whistling rag-time.

A Photographic telescope, having
peculiar purpose, is to be set up. at
Helsingfors by the Columbia Univer-
sity Observatory. The telescope is
the gift of Miss G. w. Bruce, of New
York. 1t is intended to photograph,
not stars, but star trails. If teles-
cope, having a Photographic plate in
its focus, is pointed at the stars apd
then fixed in position, the stars will,
in consequence of their apparent
motion caused by the rotation of the
earth, impress lines, OF trails, upon
the plate, the length of the lines de.
pending upon the time of exposure.
1t is these star trails that the new
telescope is intended to photograph,
but only the stars near the North
Pole will be chosen. The telescope
will be pointed at the true pole of the
earth's rotation, and the star trails
will appear as circles, OF parts OF
circles. Then, by careful examina-
tion of these star-made lines, changes
in the direction of t..s earth's axis
may be revealed.

Oriental Hyrerbole.

An amusing specimen of Oriental
hyperbole came under the notice of
Lord Elgin before he left upper
Burmah. At place called Myitkyina,
which was mere Burmah- Shan village
ten years ago, but which is the head
quarters of u thriving British district,
the viceroy was presented with an adj
dress of welcome by the people of the
town. The people, it declared, were
as happy to see and make obeisance
to his excellency as if they were gaz-
ing on ''the full moon surrounded with
luminous stars" They prayed for his
long life, and for that of the queen
empress, contrasted their present
security with the dangers in which
they previously lived, pointed out that
even the savage tribes were becoming
civilized, and dwelt on the prospect
of good crops and the regularity of the
seasons. These results, including an
equable distribution of rain and sun
shine, were undoubtedly due to the
sagacity and rectitude Of the govern.

transferring the bees and combs into
new hives, and the stock of bees is
easily changed by taking away the
old queen and introducing an Italian
queen in her place. The cost of the
new hive and the new queen will not
exceed two or three dollars per colony,
and the extra profits obtained the first
season by making this change would
pay all the expenses.
The careful beekeeper changes his
stock OF bees and introduces new
blood in the apiary almost every year,
and it is remarkable the difference
that is found in the different strains
of bees. 1t matters not what pure
race of bees we have, all colonies are
by no means alike, and some are far
more profitable to keep than others.
Every apiarist has some particular
colonies of bees in his apiary that he
would not part with under any con-
sideration, and double the prices of
other colonies would not induce them
to part with such stock. =
The queen bee of course has all to
do with this, as the whole colony is of
her production. Change her to an
other hive, and all these good quail
ties go with her. Her progeny is
supposed to retain a part or perhaps
all her good qualities bat it is only
per cent. that do, and by thus
selecting we improve our stock of bees
just as any breeder of fine stock of
farm animals. Great are the number
of good points in queen bee. Some
are very prolific, and will far exceed
others in egg production. Some pro-
duce such gentle bees that they sell
dom ever attempt to sting you, and
others are vindictive, and want to
sting you at every opportunity, and
are no better honey producers than
the gentle ones. Others are inyeterate
swaTmers, while some are content to
store honey right along and do not
attempt to swarm. Some are given
to pilfering and steal honey from
other colonies, and some are so in
dolent that they will allow them to
carry away all the honey they have
and make no resistance. The mark
ings of some bees are much more per-
feet than others, numerous other
points might be named.-A. H. Duff.

a Costly Wood.

Rosewood is exceedingly costly. Its
principal use is in veneering over
other woods, in cabinetwork and orna-
mental furniture. Its usual color is
dark red or brown, with beautiful
veins of brownish black, yellow, OF
other shades running through it, max
ing it very pretty. 1t has been stated
that the wood stands second only to
mahogany. The name rosewood comes
from the fact that the wood sends
forth an odor of roses when cut.

The Value of Early Cut Hay.

Save the best early cut hay and
other roughage until the latter part of
winter and early spring. All practical
feeders have observed that farm ami
mails are less likely to make satisfac-
tory gains in the spring months than
,at any other time of the year. Often
they lose flesh unless the very best of
care is given. They refuse to eat the
usual amount of forage unless it is
early cut and of the very best quality.
However I have found that by saving
tile earliest cut hay until the last, the
stock will continue to consume the
usual amount of food with relish and
also continue to make satisfactory
gains. With milch COWS the flow will
not decrease, as so often happens in
spring before the COWS can be turned
out on good pasture.
Then, too, by feeding the earliest
cut hay last, the system of the ami
NAL will be in better condition for
making satisfactory gains Immediately
after being turned out on fresh pas
lures in spring. Very early cut fod-
ders have tendency to relax the
bowels, consequently change from dry
fodder to fresh pastures will not be q
radical change in feed. In the early
part of the winter they are in better
condition for consuming the late cut
hay and fodder, after being taken off
the pastures, where their rations have
often been made up OF overripe and
,partly dried off grasses. Every prac-
itical feeder has long ago learned the
advantage of securing all fodder as
early as possible after it has gained
the required stage of growth, but where
a large amount is to be put up, some
of it will of necessity become ripper
than is desirable. e.-Lewis o. Folio, in
Orange Judd Farmer.

The discovery of the important part
played by various bacteria in produc-
ing the favor and aroma of butter has
led to the introduction of what is
known as commercial butter cultures,
and dairymen have been led to hope
that by the use of such cultures and
of the process of pasteurizing, the
quality of their butter might be ma
terially improved. Recent trials at
the Pennsylvania Experiment Station.
however, report in Bulletins No. 45
and No. 46, seem to indicate that
cleanliness, the careful selection of
milk, and close attention to details,
promise to affect more in improving
the flavor of our butter than pasteuliz-
ing and the use of commercial cul-
lures. With pasteurized cream, the
acid-forming cultures were found to
give slightly, but distinctly better re-
suits than were obtained from un-
pasteurized cream ripened spontan-
eously, while on-acid-forming cul-
lures gave results, if anything,
slightly inferior to those obtained by
spontaneous ripening. With unpas-
teurized cream, as might have been
expected, the results were less
marked. A homemade "starter, {"
however, carefully prepared from
skim milk, was found to give as good,
if not better results than the more ex-
pensive commercial cultures, and this
was true both with pasteurized and
with raw cream. No distinctly bene-
fetal results were observed from pas
teurizing, though the experiments were
not specially planned to test this
point.
These results are similar to those
recently published by the Wisconsin
Experiment Station, and the two,
taken together, do not seem to indi-
cate that, under present conditions,
marked advantages are to be antici-
pated from the use of the commercial
cultures.
Trials were also made of heating
milk to a temperature of about 165
degrees F. before separating, but
without any marked effect on the fla
voring of the resulting butter. .-Bul-

In Massachusetts, Mr.. George l..

Legislative committee having under
consideration a bill looking towar the
abolition Of the death penalty. His
figures show that in states where cap
ital punishment has been aboli ;hed
there has been invariably decrease in
the crime of murder. In Michigan and
Rhode Island the decrease in tAe crime
of murd Ter after the Abandonment of the
gibbet was 4) per cent. in the ten years
following. In Wisconsin and Maine
the murders numbered 3 per cent.
less during the years when there was
no death penalty than during the
same number of years preceding. In
Iowa the death penalty was not in force
from 1872 to 1876. During these
years there was one murder for every
100000 inhabitants, while in the four
years before tn ere was one murder foi
every 50, ,0)) Inhabitants. In Hol.
land and Portugal abolition of eapi.
tai punishment was followed by al
immediate decrease in the number oil

Some Philippine Animals.

The midget Philippine squirrel
is an odd creature. II is about
the size of a mouse, has legs longer in
proportion than those of the ordinary
squirrel, larger eyes and drounded ears.
A large brown rat, gray underneath
and with sQuirrGl-like head and
eyes, but black, cord-like tail, is of
still greater interest from m evolu-
tionary point of view. It is discov-
cred to be the last link long needed to
complete the chain OF relationship be-
tween the true rat and the water rats.
A wild pig, digniiied by the name
"sus celebensis Philippinensis." is
found throughout the whole Philip
pine group. It is exceedingly ex-
elusive during the day, when it hides
in the forests, but sallies gayly forth
during the night into the native maise
and rice fields, where it does much
damage. The natives call this badly
beloved pig "bGbui.
The Philippines will also contribute
a giant fruit-eating bat All Ameri-
can bats, of course, sLosist entirely
upon insects and are provided with
sharp teeth with which to nip them.
The fruit-eating bat of these islands is
larger than rat, has long head and
blunt teeth. 1t makes nightly inroads

Farewell! What words of mine may say

While on my heartstrings pain doth play
And Fate's cold hand Of steel.

For on us rests seal.

But e'er awaits to touch its Lutte,
And breathe again its sighs.
What cries of woe I made you speak
o tell me you forgivel
We're days of yours by me made bleak
For SUMMER ones Well live.
