STORING THE ONION CROP.
Proper Way the Bulbs Should Be
Handled During Winter Season.

The best practise is to spread in
layers not more than 6 inches deep
where the onions will have free VEN
tilation. When the tops are thorough
ly dried they may be easily cut or
rubbed on and the bulbs stored in
layers two feet deeper, or in crates or
other convenient packages.
There are two very common meth
DDS of storing small quantities of
onions. One is to keep in dry loft or
attic Of the house where there is little
or no freezing. The other method is to
allow the bulbs to freeze and then
cover with sufficient hay or straw to
keep them in a frozen condition until
used or until spring. The latter meth
cd is very satisfactory in the north.

These take place in every walk of life

use of poisons. although frequently a

Embroidery Industry in Calcutta.

Consul General w. H. Michael
makes the following report from Cal
cutta on the embroidery industry in
that part of India: THE declared
value of chikon embroideries exported
from Calcutta to the United States
during the calendar year 1906 was
$42,072. The value of shipments to
other countries is not stated, but
learn from the men engaged in collect
ing and exporting chikon embroider-
les that America takes two-thirds of
all shipped from Calcutta. AS most
of this work is done in Bengal 1t is
probably within bounds to say that
two-thirds of all chikon work exported
from India goes to the United States
under invoices issued from this consul
general"

THE HAGUE, June 15.-Representa-
lives OF forty-slx countries attended
here today the opening Of the second
peace conference with simple but Inn
presslve ceremonies. There Is re-
markable contrast between the senti-
ments prevailing at the opening OF the
original conference OF 1899 and today,
which has become subject OF general
comment.
In 1892 although less than half OF
the present number OF governments
was represented, the hopes OF the
world were high and there was vision
OF disarmament and the Punishment
OF the course OF war from among CIV
lllzed peoples.
Men who were here eight years ago
recall how the delegates OF the powers
met In response TO the generous appeal
OF the emperor Of Russia and entered
upon their work with the zeal aud en-
thuslasm OF men upon holy mission.
Yet three months later this dream
faded. and nothing beyond the adop-
ton OF a pious vow remained OF the
avowed object OF the conference.
Today the conference Is u world par

noteworthy not only for its size. but
 for an ingenious link device to replace the usual crosshead on the steam pis-
 ton. In May. 1886. depth of 100 feet
 below the water level had been reach
 ed and good ore was found there.
 A fire that destroyed the Grand Cen
 tral head-works and pumps. followed
 shortly after by the burning of the other pump house at the Contention, not only ruined the machinery. bn. consumed the pump shaft timhars and ended the battle with the water. There was still enough ore however, left in the upper dry workings to con tinue production of half million ounces of silver annually until the panic of 1893 discouraged most of the operators.
 One of the hinderances of early days here, as in most camps afflicted by the apex law, was the constant liti- gation. over boundaries and ore bodies, that. estranged the different owners and made difficult effective co-opera- tion between them for the contest with natural obstacles 10 mining. The only coa pensating advantage for tho ez- pensive law suits. models, and exploT-  ations was sach a-complete delineation of the structural features and ore char acteristics of the district as would not otherwise have been obtained. In 1900, however. the Tombstone Consol- dated Co. had succeeded in merging the principal mines under one owner ship, and both railroad and custom smelling facilities had been greatly i'm rlrOvad ana the cyanilp lea ching process developed. During the long lethargy. most of the frame houses of the Tombstone of 10000 people of the were removed to shelter the growing population of .Bisbee and oth- I. .neighbQring camps. The present town. however, retains the adobe and brick structures of former days and since. the arrival in 1902 of the rail- road from. Fairbank is beginning to regain the. active appearance of yore.
