BOARD IN SESSION.

The Mahaska county board of SUI
pervisors is in session, holding its
regular April meeting for the purpose
of auditing the quarterly claims and
caring for such other business as may
come before them through the proper
channels. There is nothing of an I'M
usual character filed thus far for the
consideration of the board, and they
will have a very ordinary sort of a
session. 1ne time has thus far been
spent with the passing upon bills
against the county.

of health, board of equalization, ana
the city council had completed its

When We Too Walked in Already
When we two walked in Already,
How sweet the summers were!
How thick the branches overhead,
How soft the grass beneath OUR tread,
And thickets where the sun burned red
Were full of wings astir, my dear,
When we two walked In Already
Through paths young hearts prefer.
Since we two walked In Already,
GLOW long ago it secmsO
High hopes have died disconsolate;
The calm-cycd angel men call Fate
Stands with drawn sword before the

THAT shuts out all our dreams, my

Since VIC two walked in Already
Beside the crystal streams
Beyond the woods of Already
The little brooks nre dry.
The brown grass rustles in the. heat
The roads arc rough beneath our feet,
Above our heads no branches meet
And yet, although we sigh, my dear,
Beyond the woods of Already
We see moro of the sky!

Women suffering from any form of

The offer was taken, but. as there

found, after taking twenty hops, that
he was left only one step to negotiate
and had lost. He accused Capt. M
Of sharp practice, but the latter re.

back one, finished by going up the
last two steps, and won.

OYSTER ExcELs AS A FOOD.
Easily Dsestible and Highly 5ene-
fetal to the Nerves.

fcial to the Nerves.
Recent experiments show the great
digestibility of the oyster. When
the oyster was crushed and placed
in cold water about half of the solid
matter was Dissolved. When the oys-
ter was placed uncrushed in the same
medium one-fourth of its solid mat
ter was dissolved. 1t is believed that
IL the oyster be chewed more than
half of 1t is dissolved in the mouth.
Cold water appears to be the best
thing to drink with oysters But chab-
lis is good, dissolving 3S per cent of
the solid matter of the oyster.
What are the solids of the oyster?
They are the proteids corresponding
to the lean of meat or the white of an
egg, fat, starchy matters and glyco-
gen. This last means the substance
which the liver manufactures for
future use. 1t is very like sugar, and
when wanted for use is changed into
sugar. 1t is the substance which
makes the oyster sweet in the mouth
But there are other valuable con-
stituents of the oyster-what are call
ed the glycero-phosphoric compounds.
Medical men prescribe these for i'm
proving the nervous system, so that
a diet Of oysters is unquestionably
good for the nerves. They also con-
tain common salt. little copper and
several phosphates. And taking the
whole contents Of the oyster shell,
one finds almost everything necessary
for the food of the body.

THE AFTER-pINNER ORATOR.
English Innovation Has Many Good
Points to Recommend IL.

A London club, the Bartholomew,
gave its annual banquet the other day.
The postprandial orators were con-
spicuous by their silence. Not
speech was made. When the banquet
had reached the oratorical stage little
books we're distributed among the
guests and in these booklets were
printed the speeches of the gentle
men who had accepted invitations to
respond to toasts. London Truth says
this banquet was an epoch-making af-
fair. It was certainly unique one
and not unworthy of imitation on this
side of the Atlantic. The Bartholo-
new club Of London has established
a precedent which ought not to be
ignored in the United States because
of its English origin. The banquet
is entitled to some consideration and
should be protected when the after
dinner orator, like the brook, is in.
clined to "go on forever" In con.
gress a speaker is given permission
to print" and really never delivers
his speech. The plan might work well
at banquets.

QUEEN BEES WORTH 5000 EACH
Some Of the italian Insects Are Ex'
tremeIy Valuable.


Just as there are valuable strains
in horses, cattle and other stocks, so
aere are varieties of queen bees
which are worth many hundred times
their weight in gold. The most valu-
able strain, says the New York
Herald, is the Italian, and many Ital
Ian bee farmers demand and receive
without question prices ranging from
$50 to 5000 for single queen bee of a
certain kind. Such bees are sent all
over the world
The owner of a bee farm near Of
tawa, Can, goes to Europe annually
and brings back with him bees of an
aggregate value of thousands of
pounds. He is enabled through the
agency of an Italian firm to effect an
insurance upon the most valuable of
his queens.
This bee farmer has many strange
experiences in connection with the
assistants he is obliged to engage. OF
course all bee keepers must submit to
a certain amount of singing But
in some cases the poison in the sting
acts directly upon the assistants and
makes them alarmingly i'll. Others
are immune, though Ltung hundreds OF
times.
Bee farmers are often applied to by
persons suffering from rheumatism
who wish to place themselves in the
way Of being stung. And. strange as
it may seem, the virus of the bee sting
does often act as cure to persons
suffering from serious attacks of rheu.
