CLEAN HOUSEKEEPING.
DO Not Tolerate Dirt Around
Their Hives.

One of the great points of difference
between. an Italian and the common
black bee is that the Italian is a good
housekeeper and the black bee is a
poor one, says Wallace's Farmer. The
Italian does not tolerate any dirty
combs or any loose chips lying on the
floor of the hive or about the entrance.
If anything gets in too big to be car
ried clt, she buries it in propolis or bee
gum. Why does she keep house in this
fashion? Partly because she likes it,
like most good housekeepers, and part
ly because she doesn't want any moth
eggs to be lying about in the dust,
where the moths will lay them if they
can, and then be carried into the combs
filled with bee bread, there to hatch out
and work their way between the brood
cells and spin their webs around the
wings and toes of the baby bees. Like
most good housekeepers, the Italian is
not a nervous body. She goes at it
calmly, deliberately, has level head,
and always keeps cool, while the black
bee gets. alarmed, loses her head, and
runs whenever there is danger. The
black bee is saucy,, irritable and cross
grained; the italian is good-natured.
cool-headed, but W hen she does fight
she means business. The black bee
will buzz around, make terrible fuss,
and threaten to wipe the earth with
you; the Italian will strike you as quick
as lightning and say nothing about it
Queer, isn't it, that there should be the
same difference between bees +hct
there is between housekeepers and be-
tween men; that cool-headedness and
courage and effective work should be
found in one type of bees and in one
type of men, and that slovenliness, fuss
mess, braggadocio and ill-temper
should be found in another? There are
a great many things to be learned by a
little observation in the beehive.

But waited for his orders ~
And died when he obeyed.

And served another's fame,

He gave to orders progress
The life twas his to give,
And in his country's annals,
Though nameless. he shall live
He fought al but private
Without promotion he
To carry freedoms banner
Beyond the rolling sea;
That purpose might not falter,
That peace might have her reign
And justice work with honor
For mans eternal gain.
He fought and died a private,
And never held the sword;
Renown did not come nigh him,
His hand holds no reward.
He wrought to give the lawless
The hope of righteous. laws,
Nor vengeance marred his valors
Nor malice cursed his cause.
They called his title private
He sleeps in glory's bed,
And where he fell advancing
Now other private's tread;
Nor eulogy nor marble
Can honor such as they,
Who answers duty's summons
And die when they obey.

Grasses for Late Pasturine.

The ordinary common millet, as well
as Hungarian grass, can be used for
pasturing, as it grows after being
moved off or grazed. The giant Ger
alan millet gives but one cutting. Late
in summer, after the grass has given
out from lack of rain, such quick grow
ing crops as Hungarian grass will pro
vide a large supply of green food until
frost, hut in such cases a crop for hay
must NOT be expected. When intended
for pasture the Hungarian grass can be
used at any stage Of growth, as it is not
expected to mature.

Cracked wheat. for chicks.

In wheat-growing localities it il al
ways noticed that young chickens
around the barns are always unusuall,
thrifty during the wheat harvest. They
pick up the scattered wheat grains and
soon get to the stage where they will
acquire a full suit of feathers. There
is no better material either to make
growth or feathers than wheat in the
grain, For very small chicks the grain
must be cracked, but they soon become
able to swallow whole wheat grains,
which is a better whole feed for fowls
than anything else.

TURKISH BATHS.
In the Orient They Are Indifferent
Makeshifts Compared with
Those of America.

Probably an accurate inference re-
garding oriental conservatism may be
drawn from visit to one of their cele-
oriental origin of this form of bath and
of the further fact that it is used more
generally by orientals than by Euro
peans and Americans, naturally ex-
pected to find something of extraor-
binary merit or luxury. Entering one
of the finest, I was much pleased with
the oriental character of the first scene,
a large open court, in the center of
which gushed one of the many refresh
ing fountains in Damascus and around
which on all sides were raised plat
forms supporting large combination
chair-couches, upon which the orientals
were reclining-some mapping, some
slipping coffee, some smoking the mar
gileh, some chatting and one going
through the varied postures and ges-
lures connected with the SO Moslem
prayers he was offering.
Instead of being conducted to pri-
vate room, in conformity with Amer
lean and European views of propriety,
the bather is expected to disrobe be-
fore this miscellaneous audience land
also the outside audience in the street,
whenever the door is temporarily
opened), and he then stores his clothes
in a large drawer underneath his couch
The publicity Of the disrcbing act is,
however, satisfactorily but humorous
ly modified by the attendants, who by
the free use of innumerable towels,
construct sort of temporary screen.
After this the bather is given wooden
sandals with high strips fastened to
the bottom which convert them into a
sort of silt, which upon the feet of a
novice constantly threaten to break his
neck. Thus equipped he is conducted
to so-called hot room, in which the
temperature seems to about equal a
hot summer day in Philadelphia. He is
then subjected to slight rubbing, his
limbs are pulled until they "crack, -
after which, if he desires shower bath,
stream of cold water is aimed at him
from an ordinary hose, which smarts
him sufficiently to justify his sudden
exit for shelter. He is then wrapped
in number of enormous Turkish
towels, his head is picturesquely 'tur-
baned' and he is conducted to his
couch, where he can recline until suffi-
GENTLY rested.
In order to satisfy the curiosity it
may pay to take a Damascene Turkish
bath, but for thoroughness, cleanliness
and genuine comfort and the enjoy
ment of all the paraphernalia with
which American ingenuity has inn
proved the crude methods of the ORR
entails would recommend the Euro
pean or American Turkish bath estab-
lishments.
The Damascenes will probably con-
duct their baths in the present style
for the next century. On the other
hand, in America improvement after
improvement will be made to make this
exhilarating bath still more enjoyable
and invigorating. And this, in a nut
shell, tells the story of oriental con-
servatism and American progressive

After Ten Years
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

0NCE upon time there was young
man and his front name was
Charles.
At about the same time there was a
young woman and her front name was
Nettie.
Charles was very nice young man,
and Nettie was very nice young lady.
They lived near each other, and natur-
ally were thrown much in each others
company.
The fact is that Charles fell in love
with Nettie, and the affection ripened
as the days went by. This being true
story, it is necessary to admit that Net
tie fell in love with Charles, and that
the affection ripened as the days went
by.
Charles grew to a mans estate and
raised whiskers and began to think of
marrv1ag. Nettie grew to woman's
estat9 and joined woman's club and
began 10 think of marrying.
BY and by there came an evening.
The sun had set according to it's reg
ular schedule. The soft breezes were
kissing the landscape and the moon
light was kissing the wavelets on the
lakelet, and Charles was kissing Net
tie
After that evening Charles began to
wear a smile and an distracted look,
and Nettie began to wear little ring.
BY and by there came another day.
The sun rose according to schedule and
poured out it's usual flood of mellow ra-
dance upon a happy world.
In cottage which was properly vine
clad there gathered a little company of
relatives and friends, and also Charles
and Nettie, and the air was heavy with
the odor of roses, and Charles was
decked out in brand new Prince AL
bert coat, while Nettie was sweetly,
simply beautiful in the regulation
bride-white gown. The preacher took
his place in front of the, bay window.
Cousin Jennie pounded out Men
delssohn wedding march, while Charles
and Nettie marched from the side bed
room to the front parlor and took their
places as they had rehearsed for weeks.
1t was all over in moment and they
were one. And they were both very
happy, and everybody got piece of
the wedding cake and kissed the bride,
and the bride cried a little, and Charles
said anyone that wouldn't get married
was a chump, and so the whole thing
passed off very pleasantly.
All this happened ten years ago. On
their wedding journey Charles told
Nettie that he was only poor young
man, with a name and fame yet to
make, but with the inspiring compan-
ionship of the noblest woman on the
face of the earth he would win fame
and honor and riches. He told her that
he could not now deck her in purple
and fine linen, or take her to Niagara
falls, but to watch him as the years
should speed by and see how his tire
less efforts should be rewarded, and
how they would rejoice in luxuries hon
estly earned.
when we have been married ten
years. he said, 1--WE will lay aside all
our business and household cares and
take our yacht and make trip around
the world. We will call our yacht the
'Nettie,' and she shall be as beautiful
and fair to look upon as is her charm
ing mistress.''
And Nettie snuggled up little closer
and whispered: 'rhat will be so love-
ly, Charles"
1t would have been lovely, too.

WON OUT BY A NOSE.

Providence Journal: A Brown man of
Latin and Greek perhaps distances his
love for athletics, came very near losing
his degree because of the fact. JUS before
commencement young Mr.. Senior engaged
in a race for the coveted document which
he probably will long remember. The col
lege man won-won. out by a nose. 1t
happened this way:
The young man in question had passed
all the examinations and naturally was
entitled to the parchment. Two days
previous to commencement, however, he
received a notice from the faculty to the
effect that he had neglected his gymna-
stun duties a sufficient number Of days to
foot up to half a term. AS the gymna-
SUM course is just as much a part of the
college curriculum as any of the regular
studies, and as the senior had not made
up the half term collection of cuts" he
would not receive a diploma, the notice
stated.
The eleventh hour had arrived, but the
student did not lose heart on that ac-
count. Bright and early one morning he
entered the gymnasium hall, took off his
coat and commenced swinging dumb
bells, jumping hurdles, etc. All day long,
until after sunset, he worked away for
dear life and the degree, and before he left
the building he had the satisfaction OF
knowing that the morrow would find him
on the platform with the rest OF W,
awaiting his turn to receive the precious
document.
This is said to be the narrowest escape
ever recorded at the college on the hill.

MR.. MfTTS.

It is officially announced that Hon, r.
d. Mats Of Anaconda has gone to Nam
la for the purpose Of returning about
January l. 1t will require about six or
seven weeks to make the trip each way,
which will give that gentleman at least
half a day in the Philippines to look about
for a new location for the Anaconda
Standard, in case Senator Clark is seated.
1t is believed that Asuinaldo will receive
him with open arms, IL he strikes that
country in the open season.
1t is disappointing to the public to see
Mr.. Mats tear himself away from the
embrace Of the Anaconda Standard, right
on the threshold Of the Welcome trial,
when his superb knowledge CT matters
and things might be of general interest to
the people, if not of Importance to the
case. AS the leading spokesman for the
anti-Clark forces in the legislature, his
presence at the trial would have helped
swell the crowd if nothing more. 1t is a
matter of regret that he felt that he must
at once leave for Manila, or perhaps
never have an opportunity to again see
Aguinaldo alive.
Then, again, Mr.. Mats is needed when
congress convenes in December. Suppose
Senator Clark should be seated before he
gets back? And yet the Standard never
spoke of him more kindly than when it
was sure he was going to leave.

Inc work of perfecting the organization
OF the populist party for 1900 is under
headway in this state. According to that
eminent democratic authority, the Helena
independent, the ponulists polled 10, 1000
votes last year. Acting on this informa-
ton the leaders have taken heart and will
doubtless put up a good fight against the
democracy in the next campaign.
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-08-07

The present democratic state admins
tration is thrifty. to say the least. The
clerk Of the supreme court, Mr.. H. G.
Rickerts, has issued a circular which in
dicates that he is using his official posi-
ton to drum up business as a publisher.
In his circular he says:
I have made arrangements to print
transcripts to conform with the new rule
adopted by this court, and would be
pleased to receive your order whenever
you have any work of this character.
Every well equipped printing office in
the state has also made the same kline of
arrangements, and their transcripts will
adopted by "this" court. But the clerk
of the supreme court is not only in the
publishing business. it seems, but is will
ing to practice law in connection with his
other duties. He adds:
I will read the proofs of all transcripts
printed by me, ard in accordance with the
rules will serve the copies upon the adj
verse parties. In the printing of briefs all
authorities cited are verified. i
AS IL IS customary Tor aWyerS TO verify
their citations before using them, and to
see that proper notification is given ad-
verse parties, it will at once be seen that
Clerks Ricketts, is willing to use his of
fetal position to aid his clients-for a con
sideration. Possibly he might be induced
to get up the transcripts himself, betwee1
jobs of clerking for the supreme court,
and thus relieve the legal profession of
the work of thinking.
Surely, the democratic administration
is making great Roadway in the industrial
arts. The governor is practicing law and
the clerk of the supreme court goes him
one better by not only practicing law but
becoming a publisher as we'll. However,
it would look a little better if Mr.. Rick
erts did not issue his advertisement as
published from the ''ofice OF the supreme
,ourt." II this thing keeps on it viii be
