will enter into contracts TO deliver daily
from $50 to 800 tons for three years.r The
smelter has ordered machinery to double
its capacity, and by the latter part Of Au-

within 30 days after construction is start

Four Perished.

Missoula, Mont, March l8.-At Olive. a
station As miles west Of here, special car
containing Edwin Davis "Uncle Toms
Cabin" company caught fire, four mem.
bers Of the company losing their lives. The
car was attached to the regular eastbound
train. Shortly after leaving Plains the car
was discovered to be ON fire in the sleeper
apartment, and before the alarm could be
given the whole car was in flames. Most Of
the company escaped without injury, and
these stood guard at the doors of the car
and seized the unfortunates whose night
clothes were burning as they ran from
their berths and rolled them in blankets.
One man, craxed with pain, enveloped in
flames, broke through the Gordon at the
door and jumped into the river, from which
he was with difficulty rescued.
When the fire was discovered the train
was stopped and by hard work the dogs
and donkeys and pharaphernalia Of the
company was saved. The band instru-
ments and all the personal effects Of the
company were saved. The car burned to
the track. The dead:

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Mix stove backing with little am
monia to prevent it burning off.
A teakettle should never be allowed
to stand on the side of the fire with a
small quantity of water in it.
A rose potpourri is made by packing
fresh rose petals in salt, layer of the
petals, then a layer of salt. and keep
ing them covered for six months.
A convenient substitute for cork
screw when the latter is not at hand
may be found in the use of a common
screw with an attached string to pull
the cork.
For ink stains on furniture add six
drops of inter to teaspoonful of water
and apply it to the stain with feath-
er. If the stain does not yield to the
first application, make it stronger and
repeat the process.
Stains on silverware require prompt
attention, otherwise it will take a long
time to remove them. Sulphuric acid
will remove the stain left by medicine.
Dip the spoon in the acid, repeating
the process until the stain has disap-
peared; then wash in very hot water.

BEE AND HIVE.

If the hive rests on the ground, it
will be too damp.
1t will pay to use foundations by fill
ing all frames full.
Set the hive a little above the ground
to admit Of circulation of air.
From 8 o'clock a. m. to 3 o'clock p. NJ.
includes the hours of successful operat-
ing with bees.
Procure new blood in the apiary. In
breeding is as Objectionable with bees
as with live stock.
1t is necessary to unite all weak col
onies that will be unable to build up
into strong stocks.
Care should be taken to save all
young brood and the brood combs of
those containing brood
On account of it being the only ma.
terial that can be depended upon to
stay pine is the best material for hives.
Combs should not be left in empty
hives about the apiary. That is the
worst place they can be left, as moths
are always to be found near the bees
and are sure to infest the combs.
One advantage in closed end frames
Is that hive full of combs may be
handled as though it were single
piece instead of collection of loose
pieces, thus saving work, worry and
time
If the bees cannot conveniently enter
the hives during the sudden changes of
cool weather, quite a number will be
lost; hence care should be taken to
have the entrances arranged so that the
bees can enter readily.

Knots on Trees.

In the barks of our forest trees are
contained multitude of latent buds,
which are developed and grow under
certain favorable conditions. Some
trees possess this property in remark
able degree, and often, when the other
parts are killed down by frost, the
property of pushing out these latent
buds into growth preserves the life of
the plant These buds, having once
begun to grow, adhere to the woody
layer at their base and push out their
points through the back toward the
light.
The buds then unfold and develop
leaves, which elaborate the sap carried
up the small shoot. Once elaborated it
descends by the bark, when it reaches
the base or inner bark. Here it is ar
rested. so to speak, and deposited be-
tween the outside and inner layer Of
bark, as can be learned on examining
specimens on the trees in the woods
almost anywhere.

Diluting Tea.

Few housekeepers remember, as they
should. that when it is necessary to
dilute strong tea it should be done with
water at the boiling point. The poor
flavor Of tea, made strong at first and
then reduced, such as is too often serv-
ed at receptions and Eat homes" is
usually caused by the addition of hot,
not boiling, water to the first infusion.
A lesson in this matter may be had
from the Russians, who serve the most
delicious tea in the world, and who pre-
pare it first very strong making it al
most an essence of tea. This is diluted
to the strength wished, with water
kept boiling in the samovar This
water is not allowed to boil and reboil,
but is renewed as needed. Freshly
boiled water is insisted upon by all
connoisseurs in teamaking.

A Case Where Naval Cadets Turned
Discipline Into a Joke.

Discipline Into q Joke.
Among other good stories told by
Cyrus Townsend Brady in his "Under
Tops'ls and Tents" published by Scrib-
ners, is this:
1t is related that large number of
naval cadets were negligent in follow
ing the service in the chapel, which was
after the ritual of the Episcopal
church An incautious officer in charge
on Sunday morning made little adj
dress to the church party on the sub
ject, saying he supposed that some of
them erred through ignorance, but if
they would observe him carefully and
do as he did-in military parlance, fol-
low the motions of the commanding Of
ficer-they would not go wrong.
Word was passed quietly through the
battalion. They marched into the
church. The officer in charge took his
place in the front pew, settled himself
in his scat and calmly blew his nose.
Three hundred noses We're blown 81
multaneously with vehemence that
was startling. The officer looked around
and blushed violently in great eurprise.
4uISc auACIGu ueduS lOilOWGC Cue ulO-
lions of the commanding officer Six
hundred cheeks violently tried to blush,
hard thing to for a midshipman to do,
and so on through the service.
The man could not str without in
slant imitation. He finally confined
himself strictly to the prescribed rit-
ual of the service, looking neither to
the right nor to the left. rot daring to
raise fnge; or breathe out of the or
binary course. This enterprise also
was a startling success.
The cadets received other instructions
later in the day from furious officer
who sternly resented their innocent
stqtements that they did not know
WI h was ritual and which was not
and nat he had not instructed them
that blowing his nose stood on n differ
ent plane from saying his prayers. 1t
was huge joke everywhere.

Longevity of Irish Peasants.

1t is curious to notice the great num-
Der of centenarians whose deaths are
recorded in the official returns of Irish
rural districts. As an instance of the
longevity of the Irish peasant it may
be pointed out that the death of per-
sons upward of sixty years of age reg
istered in Connaught last year amount
ed to over so per cent of the entire
deaths of the province.

Don't Drink During Meals.

Be careful to limit the amount of wa
ter and fluids which you take during
meals, since large quantities of these.
especially ice water, hinder digestion.
Not more than one glass of water
should be taken during each meal. In
order TO quench the thirst which is SO
apt to clamor for water at meals an
eminent authority suggests taking a
glass of hot water fifteen or thirty min
utes before meals. This acts especially
well in the morning. as it cleanses the
stomach.-Ladies' Home Journal.

Manx Taxes.

In the matter OF taxation the Isle Of
Man is unique. There is no income tax,
no succession duties chargeable against
the estates Of deceased persons, no
highway or turnpike tolls. Roads are
maintained by the revenue from two
sources-a small tax upon every wheel
and shod hoof and levy upon every
male inhabitant, who must give days
work on the road or its equivalent in
cash. There are no stamp duties on
receipts. checks, promissory notes, etc.;
in fact, stamps are used only for post
age.-London Standard
