Bee-keepers are, however, very familiar with larvae or grabs, as your author calls them, which ave no life in them, little to their profit. One form of this is called chilled brood, and is the result simply of cold causing the bees to cluster closer together, leaving some of the breed uncovered. The other form is called foul brood and is an infectious disease, much dreaded by bee-keepers. In thisform the brood die, and when the cell is opened, its bottom is found filled with a brown, putrid, evil-smelling matter; while the covers of the cells are depressed, and have generally a hole in them, so that qrubs in which there is no life are not profitable to the bee-master.

Milk varies in the amount of butter it contains during the season. In the autumn, when cows give loss milk. the per- centage of butter is twice as much as it is when the flow is the greatest. Cows differ, as it takes all the way from five unds to twenty-four pounds of milk to ms 3 one of butter. On most farms 8 pound of chicken meat may be produced at less cost than a pound of pork, while to refined mate it'js certainly more acceptable. It is a fact that dogs seldom attack sheep kept with cattle, unless in the case of some old rogue, and then only when the sheep are found at considerable distance, for the in. stlnct of the cattle is to attack animals found chasing or worrying other stock near them.

The failure of the potato crop of 1887 was the worstgthat has befallen the country since 1881, when the average yield per acre was only 535 bushels. The disaster is attributa- ble to two causes, opposite in operation but uniform in their ultimate result. The crop in the Western States was stunted for want of sufficient rain, and that in the Eastern States was rotted by a surplus of it. The Department of Agriculture places the area of the crop in 1887 at 2,300,000 acres, and the average yield per acre is about fift -six bushels, which is the smallest since 881.

Sultan Adbul-Aziz had an undoubted pre- disposition to insanity in his blood; the mind of his brother, Abdul-Med'id, whom he sue. ceeded, had broken down l’nnder his excesses while still a youn man, and his nephew, Murad,who succe ed him, became hopelesly insane immediame after his accession. He had himself, to my own knowledge, been out of his mind on several different occasions; the first time as far back as 1863, when I find it mentioned in letters that I wrote from Athens, where I was on a special mission, and on two later occasions within 18 months of his deposition I had spoken of his insanity in or letters to Lord Derby, reportin 'that I ha been told of it as an undoubte fact, bv one of the Ministers with whom I was intimate, and mentioning some of the peculiarities by which it was exhibited. At one time he would not look at anything that was written in black ink, and every document had to be copied in red before it could be laid before him. Ministers ap- pointed to foregin Courts could not proceed to their posts and were ke t waitin indefi- nitely, because their cre entials a dressed to foreign soverei could not well be writ- ten in red ink at. he would not sign those that were written in black. At another time a dread of fire had got hold of him to such a pitch that, except in his own apart- ment, he would not allow a candle or a lamp tobe lighted in the whole of his vast palace, its innumerable inmates being forced to grope about in the dark from sunset to sunrise; and in many other respects his conduct passed the bounds of mere eccentrio city. That such a mind as his should have entirely given way under the blow that had fallen user: him need hardly excite surprise. and un er the circumstances there is noth- ing even improbable in the fact of his taking his own life, sspeciallv as he was known to hold that suicide was the proper resource ofa deposed monarch.

It is commonly supposed that leap year is an invention of the playful mind, and that it never had a more serious existence than it now has in the acts of those sportivo young people who give leap-year parties to which the ladies escort the gentlemen, and who laugh over the idea of a lady asking a gentle~ man to become her husband. But there was aZtime when leap yeerwas a serious affair ; when men were compelled by law to recognize seriously the matrimonial propositions of women. For example, there was an old Saxon code one section of which ran thus : “ Albeit, as oftenas leaps yearre dotha oc- cur, the woman holdeth prerogative over the menne in matters of courtships, low, and matrimonie; so that, when the lady propos- eth, it; shall notbe lawful for the man to say her nae, but shall entertaine her proposal! in all gude curteaic." Among the old Scotch statutes mill pre- served is to be tound one, bearing the date of 1228, which contains this business-like section: “ It is statut and ordaint that durin the reine of her muiet bleasit majestic ilk forth year, known as leap year, ilk maiden layde of baith high and low estnit shall have li~ herty to hespeak ye man she likes; albyit, if he refuses to take her to be wif, he shall be mulcted in the sum of one pound (£l ) or less, as his estait may be, except and awie if he can make it appear that he is betrothed to one woman, and then he shall be fro. e.” “’0 find nowhere any statute intimating that a woman can be held for breach of pro- mise, nor is there anything in the law to prevent her going up and down all Scot- land and proposing to every man she meets till she has either found one who will accept. her proposition or has had evcrv unengagcd bachelor in the realm fined for refusing her. And yet there are people who say wamen, through all history, have been crushed down and enslaved and abused, anl that never before were they treated so well as they are today. But the poor devil who, in the midst of a great city, without money, home or friends, decides that the best road for him leads through potter's field may derive some small consolation ,from the fact that riches, to, sometimes lead to a voluntary funeral and a hole in the ground. The political economist and the Anarchist may extract a double ker- nel from this nut of city life and mammoth ; fortunes, for suicide among the young sons of wealthy fathers is reaching a point which calls for reflection. To be sure, the coroners' inquests in thesé cases are “ doctored” by an adequate outlay of cash, and they go upon the official records generally as seed ental death. Nevertheless, they are cases of self- murder and the public know it, while wond- erin at the causes which should lead a youth, andfireir apparent to a million or more and untold luxury, to take his own life. The very wealth it at the root of it all. The boy is indulged in money and the disposition of his time. He plays billiardi and cards all night, smokesbigarettcs immoderately, drinks whisky in proportion, indulges in other pas. times and vices, and bribes the servants to lie about his) comings and goings at home. The father, engrossed in large affairs, fro- queutly has a youn druukard sitting opposite him at dinner wit out being aware of the fact, and the mother’s love is too blind to observe. The boy's health is damaged, his morals strangled, and his pockets mortgaged. He gets into all sorts of scrapes that he is saber-3d of, until finally one more outrageous than ual, and perhaps with a female attach- ment, drives him. with a mind weakened by debauchery. to despair.

The story of his crime and its results is one of the most remerkeble in the annals of crime. Mr. Hill was murder- ed in his office on the evening of the 10th of of February, his skull being crushed with an axe and his throat cut. There were no wit- nesses of the bloody deed. and for a long time no clue was found of the murderer. A poor negro was arrested on suspicion, which groved to be without foundation. Blood. ouuds were secured and the country thor- oughly searched. Sheriff Forsythe and his son Tom, udeputy, visited Longview in hope of obtaining information that might lead to the discover of the murderer. Here De- puty Unite States Marshal Parker joined the party. i n ‘I A m,__. 13-..-..LLA The Fo'rsythes have always been highly resiected in Panola county, and much sym- pat y is expressed for the Sheriff and his wife. Mrs. Forsythe was prostrated by the news of her scn’s confession and may not re~ cover. It was rumored that Sherifl Forsythe had committed suicide through grief and humiliation, but this has not been authenti- outed. The other night a'mob entered the jail in which Forsythe was incarcerated, seized the murderer, and took him to a tree, where he “ hung himself, with the assistance of a large number of citizens,” as the Texas re- porter puts it. The rope was fastened about his neck, after which he climbed the trtganfl jumped from one oi its‘boughs: ‘ .u- ‘vâ€"- â€".I . He ;30( n suspected that Tom Forsythe, who was quite a wild young man, was the perpetrator of the crime. Parker, to satisfy his suspicions, proposed a game of cards, in which young Forsythe joined. Parker won some $500, and discovered blood on a num- ber of the bills. Nothing was said at the time, and atter the party returned to Carth- age the deputy won more bloody money. Parker then charged young Forsythe with the murder. Forsythe at first de- nied it, but afterward made a full con- fession. This confession was afterward re- peated in the court room, the prisoner dis- pla ing great bravado and insolence. Be sai that he went to the County Treasurer's office to get a $20 bill changed. The sight of the money in the safe aroused his cupid- ity, and he seized an axe, struck Hill in the face with it, and cut the old man's throat with his pocketknife. After getting out un- observed he walked cut, looked the door and car_r_ied away the key. _ Prominent capltalists of St. Paul, New York city and Helena recently formed a company for the purpose of erecting the most extensive reducing works in the United States, at Great Falls. Mont. The company has a capital of $2,000,000, of which $1,500,000 has been paid in. Among the incorporators are: Edward Cooper, Mays-r Abraham S.

In fact salt absorbs a portion of the nutritive substances and of the flavor of meat. When an analysis is made of a solu tion of the salt dissolved by water contain- ed in meat we find albuminoid bodies, ex~ tractive substance, potassa, and phosphoric acid. Salt deprives meat of these sub- stances so much the more readily in propor- tion as it enters the tissues more deeply or acts for a longer time. It then results that the meat, when taken from the saline solu- tion has lost nutritive elements of genuine importance: Preservation of Meat by Sugar. A Remarkable Grime In Texas. Powdered sugar, on the contrary, being less soluble, produces less liquid. It forms around the ment 8. solid crust, which re- moves very little water from it and does not alter its taste. Thus preserved, it suffices to immerse the meat in water before using it. Although this treatment costs a. little more than preservation by salt, account must be taken of the final result and of the loss prevented, which offsets the difference in cost between the two preservative agents. “7;; think that navigators might profit by th . 13;, sixty millions of dollars.

'l‘lse Remarkable Development or South At- rlea Slat-e the Discovery at the dens llelal. Remarkable changes are occurring in the great region in South Africa, near! a third as large as Euro} 6, which Sir Bart e Frore, late Governor of Cape Colony, said was well adapted to support an immense white population. The annexation :fBechuana. land by Great Britain ; the new and promis- ing gold fields, covering an unexpectedly large area : the railroads from Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, East London, and Durban, that, penetrating far north, are already knocking at the doors of the two Boer States ; the frantic dismay of the Transvaal Dutch, who are struggling in vain against the wave of immigration that is revolution- izing their State; the open advocacy by that far-seeing statesman, Sir John Brand, President of the Orange Free State, 01 a confederation of the South African States and colonies, which “ will lay the founda tion of the rise and growth of our South African nation,” are among the signs that this vast domain from end to end is be in- ingto feel the thrill of a new lifean of great enterprises that will prepare it for asplendld future. The auriferous fields of Ssuth Africa are giving the main impulse to the significant changes new in progress. Across the entire southern part of the continent, from the German territory in Namaqualand to the Portuguese pwssessions on the east coast, stretches a goldohearing belt with a north and south width of from 400 to 700 miles. The gold finds of the past three years have attracted the attention of the miners, capi. tslists, and economists of all lands. In the report that the Government has just issued on the production of the precious metals, Prof. N. S. Shaler expresses the opinion that Africa is the onl continent where we may now expect to iscoverZimportant fields of gold sup ly, and that the “ recent discov- eries in e southern portion of the contin- ent give great psomise of extensive produc- tion. ’ Prof. ewberry, while believing that the surface deposits have been mostly exhausted by the native population, says it is quite possible that Africa has stores of old deeply buried in the earth which will orm an important factor in the future his- tory of gold, and which “ for centuries may help to keep up the world’s needed supply. ' It is these mineral veins, buried deep beyond the reach of barbarous miners, and stretch- ing across the southern part of the Transvaal, that in the past two ears have drawn 20,- 000 white men to the cor I epuhlic and made the Ce Klap valley and the Witwatersrand famous. The Boers regard their mineral riches as a curse instead of a ble:sing. Years ago President Pretorius said that if there was ever a rush to the gold fields of the Transvaal the fate of the Boer republic would be seal- ed. More recently President Kruger has told his countrymen that, though they had beaten the natives and held their own against the English. their supremacy might yet pass away before an influx of gold hunt- ers. These gloomy ferebodings, seem on the point of realization. Three years ago there were seven Boers to every white foreigner in the South African republic. The present ratio of the white population is one foreign- er to three Boers. The immigrants are mostly male adults. and if permitted to vote they are clamoring for the rights of ci izenship, and it is not possible that these new property holders, constantly increasing in number, can much longer be disfranchis- ed. Pretoria has ceased to be the chief town of the republic. The mining towns of Barber-ton and Johannesberg are both more populous, wealthier, and better built than the capital of the Transvaal. The Beer herders near the mining regions are selling their lands and are moving north into regions unpolluted by the presence of the miner. Her treaty obligations and the comity of nations have prexented the South African republic from excluding these new camera from her territory, but President Kruger seems to have done what he could to repress them, though they are already the largest taxpayers in the republic. He has failed in his attempt to induce the Orange Free State to permit no Cape Colony railroad to ap- proach the Transvaal boundary through that State, and to raise a joint military force to enable both States to treat the miners as aliens and prevent them from taking part in the Government. The Cape Colony branch of the Aiikander Bund has warned Kruger that he will lose its friendship and support if he persists in his customs policy, which has stopped the importation of Cape produce, and in his opposition to railroad extension. The fact is, the slow, unpro- gressive Boers, loving isolation, not yet full- fledged agricultnrists, but still in the pas- toral stage, are poorly adapted to live con- tent or to maintain their supremacy amid the‘bnstle‘of a large and energetic populace Every sign now indicates that in-the rush to their gold-bearing hills, in the scramble of England and Germany to seize upon and make the most of the natural advantages of South Africa, and in the irresistible pressure of population and improvements, the Boers, who in both their republics number only 90,000 souls, are destined to lose their im- portance as a predominating political influ- ence. This will be done, not necessarily by subverting their Governments, but by new principles at stake and new men at the helm, all legally called upon the stage of action bv the_voice ottherulipg majority._ seas, are not the only railroad projects that are likely to be carried out at no distant day. Colonial statesmen are continually talking of extending the railroad from Kim- berley through Bechuanaiand to Khama’s Country, where some of the latest discover- ies of gold have been made, a region that sn- Charles Warren described as “magnifi- cent for raising cattle and farming." and that Mr. Mackenzie, who has lived there twelve years, says is one of the finest parts of South Africa. A brightfutureis dawning for South Africa, and the impetus which is being imparted to all its enterprises by the recent discovery that it possesses the largest unworkcd goldhearing area in the world, is hastening the day when this great region of temperate climate and rich and varied re- sources will be fitted to be the home of a mighty, energetic, and homogeneous people. The existing railroads have Islresdy brought the Transvaal gold within twenty- four days of London. There can be no doubt that before many years South Africa will possess the counterpart of our Pacific railroads in the extension of the Cape Colony and Natal lines to the road new building from Delgos Ba .
