AoLEAM OF PLEASURE.

Along the noisy city ways,
And In this rafting city car,
On this the drearicst 81 days,
Perplexed with business fret and Jar.
:
When suddenly a young, sweet face
Looked on my pctulanee and pain
And lent IL something OF its grace q.
And charmed it into peace again.
The day was Just as bleak without,
My neighbors just as cold within,
And truth was Just as full OF doubt,
The world was Just as full Of sin.
But in the light Of that young smile
The world grew pure. the heart grew warm.
And sunshine CLEANED a little while
Across the darkness Of the storm.
l did not care to seek her name.
I only said: God bless thy life.
Thy sweet, young grace be still the same,
Or happy maid or happy wife,"
Phillips Brooks.

Fifty-One Bridges for b. 4 O. II. r.
Baltimore, Jan. 23.-One Of the largest
bridge contracts that has been award
ed In many years has been let by the
receivers of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. In order to place the lines
west of the Ohio river in proper shape
to handle the heavy freight equipment
that Is being used east of the river
the receivers found it necessary to re-
build 81 bridges between Benwood, w.
Va, and Chicago. That the structures
might be rapidly pushed to compile
ton it was decided to divide the work
among three companies. The Youngs-
town Bridge Company of Youngstown
will erect 81 bridges on the Central
Ohio division between the Ohio river
and Newark, Ohio; the Pencoyd Bridge
Works was awarded the II bridges on
the Lake Erie division, Newark to
Sandusky, and the Edge Moor Bridge
Company of Wilmington, Del, will
erect the bridges needed on the Chi
cago division. The total cost of these
bridges Is in the neigh borhood of $780,
600 and it is expected that all will be
In place by September. Nearly six
thousand tons of steel will be needed
for the structures.

Soluble salts In Alkali Soils.


The electrical method of salt deter
nination In soils has been used In the
exploration and investigation OF the
alkaA soils of the Yellowstone Valley
made by the department Of agricul-
ture. An examination was first made
OF the general conditions in the valley
and then a very minute study OF sec
ton of land which was just being
ruined by the rise of alkaH. This ex-
animation amounted to an under
ground survey of the field, and maps
have been made showing the distriDu-
ton Of alkali at different depths. e.
great number of behring's were made TO
q depth Of 10 or Is feet, and salt de-
examinations were made in every
inches or each foot in depth. Accurate
maps have been made showing the
amount and distribution Of the alkan
at several of these depths. 1t was
found that in the original prairie soil
above the ditch there Is not sufficient
alkali to be injurious to vegetation.
The amount of alkan was greater in
the lower depths of the subsoil. AS
rule, water is used in excess on all
OF these lands under irrigation, and
to such an extent that 1t accumulates
in the subsoil When the depth to
standing water is not more than
feet from the surface, alfalfa turns
yellow and dies out. In all cases the
first injury was from the accumulation
OF water from excessive applications
through irrigation. Where this water
remains for some time in the subsoil
the alkali teaches down through seep-
age from higher lands, and Is brought
up from the subsoil and accumulates
It the surface in quantities sufficient |
% prevent the growth of cultivated |
plants. This underground survey of
he ~alkali lands has given the most
important information in regard to
AMOUNT and distribution of the soluble
alts and the way in which they ac-
emulate in certain localities through

Care Of Baes In Winter.


Bees should remain undisturbed
throughout the entire winter. except
that we may in safety open tho hives
and examine them during warm day
whom the bees are out on the wins
flying, but even on such occasions the
weather must Of necessity DO very
warm and fine. writes A. H. DUN In
Journal Of Agriculture. Bees are very
easily injured by being aroused In any
way during cold weather, and on this
account they should be provided with
good protection so as to exclude stock
OF any kind from wandering near the
hives. For this reason, hives should
not be set up on high benches, nor
placed against fences or trees. The
proper place to locate hives Of bees
the hives having boards-is directly
on the ground, and each sitting on its
own bottom and not in any way con-
nected with any other hive.
Snow about the bee hives Is q good
protection to the bees in very cold
weather. and the more snow the better
1t Is. but many people make grave
mistake by removing the snow, think
Ing the bees will suffocate for air.
They thus do the bees an almost irrep-
arabic injury; not only depriving
them OF good protection, but disturb
Ing them and arousing them to activ-
1ty at a time they should be the most
quiet. Bee hives may be totally COW
cred with deep snow drifts without do
ing the least injury to the bees, but
on the contrary 1t affords them the
best OF protection during the most Sc
we're weather.
Persons who are not well informed
In bee culture frequently make mis-
take by moving bees during the winter
from one locality to another. They
may perhaps purchase bees OF their
neighbor during the summer and defer
moving them until winter. The prop
er time to move or ship bees is at any
time during the year except in winter.
Tor the cause given above. The ques-
ton may be asked, why thus disturb
Ing bees during winter is Injurious to
them. 1t Ia SO from the fact that
"nen bees are aroused to activity in
cold weather they will partake of food
heavily on account of it. and il the
weather Is such as to keep them con-
1ned any length thereafter, they will
become affected with dysentery from |
'onnnement in this condition, and
,nly timely flight will relieve them.
sees may thus be made to consume
more snan double the amount OF stores
ney would otherwise do with proper
reatment in this respect.
