BLACK EYE EXPLAINED.
I1quisitive Stranger Wanted &c
Know Too Much About
Boxers Optic.

1 had gone into the gymnasium to
inquire about a punching bag, and,
seeing a man there with a black eye,
l asked if he had met with an acct
dent, says a Chicago Daily News
writer.
I'll tell you what's de matter wild
me-" he explained after a bit. ~
was a-boxin' here two or three days
ago wild de st. Joe Kid, as he calls
hisself, and he struck me foul and
blackened me eye. I'm a-layin' for
him here dis mornin', and if he comes,
say, I'll put him to sleep IN de middle
of de first round. I'll show you how
he hit me-"
He got up, pulled off his coat and
vest and pulled on a pair of gloves,
and about this time l remarked:
I'm perfectly willing to take your
word for it. You needn't go to any
trouble to demonstrate"
"Oh, it's no trouble tall. Come in
to de ring and III show you how he
did it,"
'But, you see, I"
"Come into de ring. What's de use
of askin' about NE eye if you don't
want to know how de kid black
ened it?"
He had gone to considerable trou-
hle on my account, and 1 felt it was
only fair to step into the ring.
NOW, den, put up yer dukes" he
said, as he squared off at me.
But, my dear sir, 1 never
Put up yer dukes! Do you want
me to knock yer jaw off at de very
first clip"
1t looked to me as if he was an
only child and not used to being
crossed, and so l put up my dukes to
keep him good-natured.
"Now. prance around he said, as
he began to dance and skip and feint
at me.
What's the use?" ] protested II

''Prance!" he yelled.

lodged about. "Now, den, hold yer

little wild yer left. OATS de way"
But l assure you, my dear fellow,
that l didn't come here to-
Lead for me wild yer left"
'"What for?"
Lead for me. I say. Do you want
to stand dere like a chump and let
me do all de work?'
l didn't want to hurt the young
man, but as he was willing to take the
risks l led for him. I expected to
knock him head over heels, but he
was still circling around me after l
got through leading. This astonish-
ing fact led me to remark:

be down at the house in just Is min

yelled, as his dancing and prancing
grew more vigorous.
"But l don't want to break your
jaw"
Swing wild yer right"
He had requested me to kill him,
and I swung. I was wondering what
the coroner's verdict would be when

AS TO USING OLD MATERIAL
THIS DOESN'T APPLY TO DRESSES
 ALONE.
Even Ideas Can be Worked Over.

There is little refuse of matter or
 mind that is not of some value. Old
 material and ideas are being continu-
 ally worked over to some profit. What
 one man throws away another uses,
 and what one mind has exhausted or
 found unavailable another appropriates
 to advantage
 Old shoes of leather or rubber cast off clothing, once used metal and all sorts of materials that have fallen from a high estate into rubbish find some one able and anxious to transform them 1 and restore them to a state of useful ness. Our frayed collar of to-day may be our fine writing paper of tomorrow our soleless shoes may reappear as a Russia CD leather pocketbook the bones from our roast beef may return to l the table as handle to knife for the carving of other roasts, even the skin i of our nine times slain pet cat may come back as kid CD gloves, and so on l through the list of what in the hands of it's owner reaches the condition of WorthlessnesS
 So it is with ideas. Men are to-day gathering fortunes from the rubbish of
 
 among wrecks there, seize on ideas that others could not perfect and make them practicable and available to their own profit. And often--and we all know of cases--the poor inventor with a concep- ton that is almost worthless to him because he cannot give 1t birth, gives the labor of years to another and sees his pet idea materialized and bringing a fortune to it's owner, while he must be content with the pittance he re- ceived.
 Great factories employ men who go about among the machinery and gather up what has been wasted and turn 1t to advantage. They see chances for inn provements in machinery that the maker threw away through carelessness or ignorance. They see opportunities for saving labor, friction or material grasp the ideas that others have cast aside and use them.
 To cross a moving belt in order to re- verse motion is a simple thing, but belts were used for long time before the fact was appreciated. So it is in one thousand directions where machinery is used
 MuSty papers anu CruIHpIlS TScoTuS that were supposed to have done their work years ago are brought to light | and become most valuable property for present use. They furnish material for all sorts of literature; they are stones to be reared into the temple of history, and foundations on which to rest sci- ence. The resurrection of bit of pa pyrus from the crumbling remains of entombed mummy may prove to be of great value to the seeker after knowledge of the things of this world
 What we throw away, or lay away, because it has no further value-as we may suppose--is likely to come into use again, even though it is worn out slipper or a threadbare idea.-New York Herald.

A VANISHING IDEAL.
British Liberals are Less Hopeful than
 Formerly About Democracy.

British Liberals are Less Hopeful than
 Formerly About Democracy.
 Thirty years ago democracy was an l ideal which ardent and generous souls honestly worshiped. They saw in it the
 redress of all the grievances which had vexed the earth--the abolition of war,
 the inauguration of brotherhood, equal
 rights and equal chances, a millennial
 reign of justice, mercy and peace. De- mocracy has now had it's full fling for
 more than thirty years. It has not
 brought back the golden age it has not precipitated the millennium. It has sunk from the glorious attitude of di- | vine ideal to the humble station of a decent and fairly workable arrangeN
 ment. Beyond all question the result has been disappointment and the disil- lusionment even among the very elect, and to-day they are asking whether in pledging themselves long ago to democ- racy they really were following a cun- ningly devised fable and whether the ideal which once they worshipped and in which they still try to believe will stand the test of experience and verify the promise of its prime.
 great master of the spiritual life used to lay it down that everyone who is taking pains with his own soul will be careful to catechise himself in pri- vate, not only as to questions of con- duct but as to matters of faith and knowledge. What do I believe on this subject? Why do I believe it?" And if we take the soul in it's wider sense we shall not be less careful to catechise ourselves about the conceptions which lie at the very root of our citizenship, which color our aSpira tions for our country and our race and thereby de- termine our political action. It would be superf1uous for liberal writing to liberals to set forth the reasons why he and they originally swore themselves to the standard of democracy Though we are old and jaded and jaundiced and disillusioned we have not forgotten the arguments which once seemed so CO., gent to head and heart, or the generous munitions which outran argument and recognized that the claim of democracy was based on the bedrock of morality. All this is so essentially part of our mental and spiritual experience that there is no need to set it forth in words. Rather should we inquire why we find reconsidering our allegiance | and deeerting our first love. Why are we disappointed? Has democracy failed? Or is it really we who have that dismalest of all fall ures-the loss of faith and hope?-Man- | chester Guardian Liberal.)

UNHEEDED CATACLYSMS.
An Examination Into Human Careless

An Examination Into Human Careless
 ness of Great Natural Catastrophes.
 We wonder if any person in the
 world has been frightened by the ap-
 pearance and disappearance of the new
 star in Perseus, of which astronomers
 have recently made so much. Some
 body ought to have been. The new
 light probably appeared because sun had exploded, or because two suns had
 collided, evolving temporarily an almost inconceivable quantity of flame. If a
 distant sun could explode, so could our
 sun; and if two suns could collide, some
 sun of which we know nothing may be
 rushing at a pace which the mind does
 not grasp, though the brain can calcu- | late it, toward our own. There should
 be something alarming to the imagina- tive in that idea, but, so far as we know,
 nobody has been alarmed. The catas- trophe in Perseus, whatever it's cause. must have occurred fifty years ago to give the light time to get here, and catastrophes so inconceivably distant are outside the range even of the imag- 1 nation. We read of them as we read of quintillions grasping the words, but not the thoughts they are intended to convey. The mass Of mankind, too are protected against astronomical alarms, not only by their ignorance but by two very steady beliefs. One, which is not quite reasonable, is that God, though He allows railway collisions, will never allow anything so big as an astronomi- cal catastrophe-as if there could be greatness or littleness in the eyes of the Infinite-and the other, which Is req sonable enough is that If an astronom- cal catastrophe affected sentient beings at all, it must destroy all of them with in its range utterly and at once. That would only be death, which we must all suffer, and death under unusual cir cumstances of consolation, death so rapid and so universal that we should part from no one and leave no one be- hind to suffer.
 There is much more to alarm in the little catastrophe which has possibly occurred within the last few days. An unaccountable wave has traversed the ocean, nearly destroying the Teutonic for one thing, and showers of oolored dust have obscured the sky from Sicily to the Carpatbians. or possibly beyond them The same phenomena on a {, greater scale followed the volcanic ex- plosion of 1883 In Krakatoa, and it is | reasonable. therefore. to believe that { either in the ocean or, more probably. { in the center of Africa there has been | a grand volcanic eruption.

GOOD HIVES FOR BEES.
Work That should he Done as Soon
as the Busy Little Insects Be-
gin Their Work.

Hives become unfit for good manipu-
lation, and if not cleaned up every
spring and put in good order we lose
a great part of their usefulness. Bees
carry in large quantities of propolis or
bee glue, and plaster it over the inside
of the hives and over the frames in
such quantities that it almost disqual-
ifies the frame hive for the use it is
intended. Bees also build burr combs
around the edges of the frames, and
about in the inside of the hive; this
also blocks good handling. While hives
are made to prevent the building of
burr combs as much as possible no
hives entirely prevent it.
During the honey season bees fire.
quently build out some of their combs
in which they store honey so wide
that they can scarcely be placed back
in the hives without bruising the
combs and killing bees. These combs
should be trimmed down to the proper
thickness by shaving off the surface
with a sharp knife. The frames should
be cleaned of propolis and burr combs,
thus putting the frame in the best
shape for good handling during the
honey season.
We can clean up the hives nicely by
beginning with clean one and setting
the frames with contents, bees and all,
into it from another; then this one
may be prepared for the next colony,
and so on until the entire number of
hives are put in good shape and with
but one empty hive to start with.
This is the important work to be
done in spring and should be done just
after the weather gets warm and the
bees are beginning work. Transfer
ring bees from old hives into new ones.
and all the work of cutting out and
Strengthening up the combs in the
frames should be done at this time
Some who are not well posted become
discouraged with combs that have
turned black and think them worth
less, but by no means is this the case,
for after brood is reared in combs
they all turn black, but are not inn
paired from usefulness.-A. H. Duff, in
National Rural.

ABOUT YOUNG TURKEYS.
Should BE Forced Forward ms Much
as Possible Immediately After
the Matching.

For the first food give some finely
cut onion-tops mixed with hard
boiled eggs, and crushed wheat or
breadcrumbs. Finely chopped onion
tops are always relished. The young
turkeys are keen on picking out from
their diet those articles which they
most prefer. Stale bread and curds
are accepted. Dampness, whether
from rain, dew or from any other
cause, is fatal to very young tur-
keys. In few weeks the diet may
consist mostly of grain and varie-
ty. In addition it is a good plan
to tie up a vegetable of some sort
just so high that the birds must
stand well up to pick at it. This
is good food, and the exercise is
beneficial. Where grain is grown the
birds as they come on should be
given the run of the stubble-felds,
where they will pick up much food
for themselves. A point in feeding
young turkeys is to give them food
four or five times a day-all they will
eat-but clean away that which is I'M
eaten, as it may ferment and injure
them. A little millet-seed may be
scattered for them to seek, and they
may be turned out with the hen from
nine o'clock in the morning until five
in the afternoon, but must not be
allowed among other lots of tur-
keys or chicks, in order to avoid lice.
The large lice on the heads come
from the hen turkey and quickly de-
stroy the young ones. Dust them
with inscct-powder, and rub it on
their heads. Hatch the first eggs I'M
der (chicken) hens.-Farm and Fire
