These are the prices paid to the planters, and
vary considerably from time to time during the
season. 1t IS estimated that the dealers OF New
York City in a fairly good season handle be-
tween $3.OOO.0OO and 100000 worth of oysters.
The KeypOrt oyster planters also do consider
able business in marketing oysters during the
summer season. AS the native oyster Is not fit
to eat during this season. which is the spawning,
time of the bivaIve. the planters secure large
seed from Chesapeake Bay in the spring and
plant these on the beds. In April they are
shifted. and about July 1 are ready for market.

oyster is not good to eat during the spawning
period. but transplanting it to Northern waters

HYACINTHS.

First in Importance among hardy bulbs
should place the hyacinths. Much has been
written about putting them in position in the
bed and then covering them with soil, putting
sand under them, etc; but in actual practice
these slow and laborious methods are not eS-
sentiaI to success. If however. the planter pre-
f.. 5 to follow the more laborous-and possibly
surer-method, then remove five or six inches OF
the top soil and cover the surface of the soil
where the bulbs are to be set with an inch OF
sand One advantage of this method is that it
enables the planter to place the bulbs accurately
in position as to depth and distance apart, so
that the effect at Towering time is more regular
as a whole than if planted with dibber. The
LAYER of sand has its advantage inasmuch as IT
provides drainage at the base of the bulbs and
minimfZes the chances of decay from contact
with manure in the soil and from water lodging
i1.nlediatply beneath them The writer has seen
good beds of bulbs obtained by both methods,
but the last one described is possibly the surer

ASBESTOS MATS.

The common custom of using rush mats under
hot dishes as protection to the polished wood
does not appeal to a housewife as giving an air
of daintiness to a prettily set dining table, and
suggest a pretty idea for table mats Cut
round or OblOng piece of linen the size desired
and embrOder with sprays of flowers or con-
Veutional design, then cut two pieces half as
large for the under side Place the two straight
edges together, which should be on the selvage
at the middle across the centre. When placed
in this manner, they are the size of the upper
piece, and both should be baSted together and
sCallop worked around the edge through the top
and under side Now you have mat with an
opening in the centre into which you can slip

PLANTING OYSTER BEDS
Hoe the BiraIres 4re Raised for the
Nee York Market.

All Indications point to a successful oyster
season this year, and it is probable that when
September arrives the planters of New-York
Bay and Long Island will begin to reap a rich
harvest, and as by far the greater part of the
oysters raised in the waters of New-Yor1 Con-
necticut and New-Jersey are either sold in New
York City or shipped TO interior points by the
wholesale dealers Of this city, business will boom
in the oyster trade for about three months
Hundreds of extra men must be put on to Gull

advertised to exhibit here soon, is not
the great Adam F0repaugh show and is
In no way connected with It either d.
rectly or indirectly. This announce

impression which may be caused by q
similarity of title. The only Adam

Jointly for one price Of admission In
Manchester not before August. These
great shows are known to be the largest
and most meritori0us in the world.
Conducted on high class principles and
no games of chance or fakirs allowed,
1t travels on Its own sixty double length

same stupendous exhibition which has
amazed the people of the eastern states

Manchester lost two games at
Vinton last week, the last game
being a battle royal, thirteen hard
fought innings finally resulting in
giving Vinton three scores to Man
chester's two. The games with Cen
trail City were not played on account
of the condition of the grounds here.
Sundays game at Fl. Dodge stood 8
to 4 against us and that of Monday
was 10 to8 at the end of the 18th, the
only score we were able to obtain.
Tuesday and Wednesday the boys
play with the Pocahontas team and
Thursday and Friday they will play
Charles City. We believe these last
four games will be Manchester's.

State Land Leases.

Upon advice of Attorney General
Miller the State Land Board at a
meeting held June 10th. passed an i'm.
portant order readjusting the fees OF
the land office. The new schedule,
tablishes a fee of 81 for every lease
of 100 acres, so cents for each addi-
tional 160 acres or fraction thereon,
under the same lease, and 25 cents for
filing each application and other pa
pers.
The board also adopted the United
States land office rule requiring pat
ent for every 100 acres or fraction
thereof, the fee being 50. Heretofore
it was possible to put any number of
sections in one patent. The new scale
is calculated to largely increase the
revenues of the land office.

the Orman administration, who was in

there was supposed discrepancies. The
report was checked by Register Wood

Every child born into the world with

becomes an object of the most tender
solicitude, not only because of its suffer-

mothers of such afflicted children to ac-

available, viz, The Cuticura Treatment.
Warm baths with Cuticura Soap, to
cleanse the skin and scalp of crusts and

After serving a full score of years
behind the bars of the penitentiary,
at Canon City. Jose Munez. Mexican,
the Oldest convict in point of imprison-
ment in that institution. was liberated
by the state board OF pardons.
At sixty-eight years. broken in
health and tottering with age, Munez
steps out to spend the remainder of his
days free man. No one but a convict
can have felt full conception of the
meaning of twenty years of penal SER
vitude. Munez has served two months
over that time. or period equivalent
in the eyes of the law to a term Of
thirty-seven years and ten months.
which is equivalent to a pardon, as it
lets him out Immediately.
Jose Munez-"No. 1884," as he is
known to his keepers-was sentenced
for life from Conejos county, March 30,
1888. for murder. OF late he has been

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
Completion of the Capitol.

The impression should not be al
lowed to go out that the state capitoi
has been completed. There remains
some important work to be done fol
which provision will have to be made
by the next Legislature.
A statue must be provided for the
dome and, more important still, steel
shelves and other metal fixtures have
not yet been placed in the vaults. At
present the valuable records OF the
different departments are kept in
vaults fitted with only wooden shelves
and hence they are exposed to de-
struction by fire. A fire might do but
little damage to the building and yet.
occurring in one of the vaults, it
might destroy the entire contents, be-
cause the shelves and other fixtures
are not of fire-proof material.
During the late session of the Leg
islature the board of capitol managers
sought to get an appropriation for the
construction of metal shelves for the
vaults, but the appropriation was not
made.
Since, however the state can not af-
ford to let its valuable documents and
records lie on wooden shelves, ex-
posed to constant danger of fire, the
next Legislature will have. to make the
requisite appropriation for their con-
struction. Until that work is done the
building will not be completed.
There Las been much delay in COM
pleting the capitol, but it has chiefly
been in connection with relatively mi
nor matters of this kind. The build
ing has been occupied for several
years, but here and there small mat
ters have remained incomplete.-Dep.
