JEWElRY JOTTiNGS.

Neck ornaments of every kind are this year In the front rank of jewellers wares.
 The fine gold neck chain with a hand some pendant jewel, either diamond, cu- riously shaped. or pearl. emerald or other colored stone, Is one of the established styles of the season.
 Old ideas in regard to the use of jewels have passed out of vogue. The most fash ionable and best dressers do not scruple to wear strings of pearls or jeweled neck laces with the street costume.
 Curious and unusual cuttings in costly stones are very much in evidence for rings and more especially for pendants. Fine diamonds are cut In marquise, oval or heart shapes. emeralds assume the pear or drop form, turquoises are fash toned into scarabs, etc.
 The great and growing popularity of the emerald quite disproves the old say ing that "all things green are unlucky." On the contrary, the new and revised leg end credits this beautiful gem with smoothing of all the rough angles of life and makes 1t the smartest of bridal gifts. Jewellers Circular Weekly.

BEE BUZZES.

The fumes of burning sulphur will de- stroy all mothworms in combs not oc- cupied by the bees.
 The surroundings of the hive should always be kept clean and no weeds or filth allowed to accumulate.
 So far as can be done a clean. open place should be selected for the bees, where 1t can readily be kept In order.
 It Is considered quite an advantage al- ways to furnish a new swarm with s frame of young brood taken from another colony.
 When bees are allowed to swarm at will, we need not look for much surplus honey, because excessive swarming will be the rule.
 Swarms may be hived In empty frames with success, but when thus hived care must be taken to have the hive set per fectly plumb.
 When the brood chamber of the hive becomes so full of bees that they are crowded for room, additional space should be added.
 In handling swarms care must be talk en to avoid killing any bees If possible and to keep the swarm all together so that none will be lost--St. Louis Repub- Hc

The Grand Army.

Albert D. Shaw, former Commander in- Chief of the Grand Army of the Re- public writes of "The End of the Grand Army" in the Chicago Tribune as fol lows:
 The future of the organization can have but one issue-that of final histor- ic ending by the death of it's last sur viving member. From the nature of it's birth it must die when the last comrade is mustered out by the angel of death. The talk of infusing with it the Sons of Veterans, is. in my judgment, withou. reasonable hope.
 In the near future posts must consoli. date, as death thins the ranks, and when this comes to pass the speedy de- crease of the power of tho organization will follow. The average age of the surviving comrades of the Grand Army is about 58 years. This tells the story of the sging veterans in pathetic way for the grand climateric" of life is 6S years.
 In 1880 the Grand Army reached the high water mark in numbers 459, 900. Last year 5000 died and the roll has shrunk to less than BOG. 900. The Grand Army has no predecessor, and in the nature of it's plan and purpose it can have no successor. It was organized to perpetuate tho leeds and sacrifices of fhe great war in defense of the laws of the land.
 With no source of strength to draw upon. the ratio of decrease is the sure measure of it's comparatively rapid end as an organization. Ten years hence il will be but skeleton of its present membership. It will leave inspiration of the noblest sort, however, and the Sons of Veterans and the Spanish-Ameri can veterans will in time, no doubt, or ganize similar force to represent the military service and perpetuate the pa sriotic deeds of the eos and sos as bear ing upon an important era in the life ol Inc nation.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Oats If scalded at night and left to stand until morning make an agreeable change for the hens.
 Very fine dust Is an excellent pre- ventive of lice and disease and may be used freely scattered around.
 The hens should always have some where to dust. They will soon rid them selves of lice If they have dust.
 When the wings are cut. the feathers do not renew until the bird molts, which is usually In the fall, but when the feathers are pulled out new ones appear In a short time.
 One advantage with the heavy breeds of ducks Is that they can readily be kept within an inclosure with a low fence, and If given water In trough for bath ing they will thrive and do well.
 Do not allow the drinking fopntain to stand in the same place all the time. Change 1t to a new place every day or two; otherwise the place may become so foul as to cause disease.-St- Louis Re public
