A Co-operative Market.

The price of living has become such
busbear thal something will have
to be done beside boycotting the butch
ers to make things cheaper. Some of
the farmers and gardeners in and
about Denver are organizing for the

products at one-half the rate of the re-
tailers. They propose to sell inde-
pendently and have cooperative
market store. where all the farmers
belonging to tho association will sell

that had to put my arm around her.
"As for the hat" told her husk-

"Oh!" she walled "As if that mat

She looked up at me with her eyes

OPEN THY DOOR.

Open thy doors, o my soul,

To shelving shore, and breakers roar,
And the mountains that shout again.
Open thy doors, o my soul,
To the scent of the climbing rose,
To the meadows sweep, and the drow-

And the woodlands deep repose.
Wider, wider, my soul,
The winds through the pine tree

'Tis the Word of God that moveth

And deep to deep will go.

And the fret and pain of care,
And the futile stress and the pettiness,

The Mixer.

Many times the milker goes to his
task after brushing horses or doing
other dirty work, with his hands soiled
and his clothing thickly covered with
dust. Both soiled hands and dusty
clothing are loaded with germs that
injure milk. Before commencing to
milk the milker should cleanse his
hands and slip on clean suit and cap,
which are used for no other purpose,
and which may be easily washed. He
should always milk with dry hands
and never allow his hands to come in
contact with the milk-Missouri Dai.

Poisoned by EGGS.

That many people are poisoned by
eggs, and not by spoiled eggs only,
but often by those that are freshly
laid and apparently good, is asserted
by French chemist. Numerous cases
OF poisoning due to eclairs, or cream
cakes, have occurred recently in Paris,
and 1t was In the course of an inves-
tigation OF these that the conclusion
was reached that the toxic action was
always the fault Of the eggs in the
custard, never Of mineral poisons in
troduced accidentally or of the other
ingredients of the cream. French
eggs. 1t is said, become infected before
they are laid.

The Queen Bee.

The queen bee lives from two to
five years, according to the manner in
which she is raised. When raised by
the naturel way, as by the swarming
of the bees, and tho mother queen is
two or more years old, she often lives
four or five years The life of the
workers varies from forty-five days in
the honey-making season to FIVE or
sometimes six months during winter,
taking the time of October to April.

the balance remains the same, thus
attempting to prove the assertion
that frog has no weight when i'm

his own explanation, and there was
much heated argument and discus

because it is not injurious. But on
the other hand it can be proved that
it is not injurious by chemical analy-

of every competent chemist who ever
analysed it? Eminent College and

she was surprised and pleased by a

loss of Miss Kate Fullinwider, they
expect to find a kind and helpful
friend in their new teacher, and to
enjoy their relation with her very
much.
