PLENTY OP HOXEY COMETO. California Smiling East a Large Sup ply of IIcp Sweet Products. Tliero will lie no scarcity of honey this season. Within short time the California supply will lie here. As the Xew York honey is not usually ready for sale before October, that from the l'aciiic slope will have a good opportu nity for finding a market. The samples which have been sent in advance to the New York houses show the crop to be remarkably fine this year, in addition to the crop King unusually large. Over ii,uOO,ouO iounds have been shiped eastward, which is the greatest quantity known since bee cultivation has been undertaken in the Golden .State. .South ern California lias been found to be especially favorable to bee culture and the production of honey. That which has been shinned to the East is mainly from the districts of San Diego, Los Angeles and Santa ltorbara, which places have also produced an additional lamer quantity, intended for home con sumption, than iji former years. AVhile a larre irtion of this great shipment will 1 brought to New York, such is now the convenience of transportation that direct shipments will lie made to other places. On the way East Chicago and St. Louis will receive their sliare of the rich product of the California in sects, and before the train will reach New York city separate carloads will be diverted to JJoston and Philadelphia. Even of the through freight which will come to New York direct, a portion will 1 sent across the Atlantic Ocean to London. Hamburg, Amsterdam and nther Eurojiean cities. So that, even though the shipments from California are unusually large, there is no proba bility of a glut until the product of the New York bees conies into the market in October. As a natural result of the lanre crop, prices will this year l greatly reduced. In 1SS5 the wholesale rates for extracted honey were from 5 to 8 cents a pound, while in lSNi they ituiged from 10 to 12 cents jer pound in California. This vear the wholesale rate in that State is from 3i to 4 er cents per iound, according to quality. After paving freight across the whole continent, it is expected that the sweet product can Iks sold wholesale at from 0 to t cents ier pound a very great reduction from the rates of two and three years ago. For the con venience of the trade, the producers have tacked the honey in five-gallon cans, two cans making a case; the net weight of each case being about 113 oimds of clear honey. Most of the honey brought from Cali fornia is extracted, as it is diflicult to transjHirt the honey in the combs. In that state the bee-culturists do not use, us in this State, the hardened comb foundations for the bees to build upon. The little winged insects consequently make their entire combs, which are soft and brittle. The honey therefore is too heavy for the comb, and on the road becomes loosened from the cells, often causing heavy loss. An attempt has been made this year to ship some of the comb honey in two pound frames, eight frames going to a rack and four racks to a case. Each case will therefore con tain about seventy pounds of honey combs. The wholesale price for the comb honey has heretofore 1-een from 12 to 14 ceiits"ier pound; but this year, if the shipments should come through all right, the price will range from 8 to 10 cents per i-otind. California is said to le favored witr. a growth of foliage especially adapted for the production of honey. The finest produced in that State is a clear white, very sweet and rich. It is the product of the white sage, with which Southern California is abundantly supplied. The next in quality is from the sumac. This is of a light amber hue, and is also sweet, with a very fine flavor. Another class of honey is produced from the tar weed. This is rather dark in color, and has a bitterish taste. For this reason it is not so well liked ;is the other varie ties mentioned, and at times is scarcely salable. The flavor of the California honey is entirely different from that produced in New York State and vi cinity, where the white clover is the main source of supply for the bees to work upon. Consequently it finds a market amons those who prefer a rich and sweet article for their own use, the white sage honey having also a fine con sistency which at times is much desired. The honey producis of the States of Michigan, Illinois. Iowa, "Wisconsin and Missouri promise also to le very large. But this will scarcely affect the market here, except indirectly, as the crop is generally used for home consumption. The principal markets for the produc tion of the bees in these States are at Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City. As a natural effect of the plcntif ul crop in California, the prices for the honey. produced nearer home, will this year 1 greatly reduced in the markets of the two first named cities, as that from the Pacific slope will have some advantage m being the First in the held. A good crop is also reported from the Southern Suites, the greater lortiou of which is brought to New 1 oik for sale. Owing to the carelessness of those who attend to the lecs and prepare the honey for market, it docs not realize such good prices as it might do with better attention. Instead of the honey being extracted it is merely strained, and all kinds are mixed tgether. When spoken lo by merchants about keeping the liner honeys from the poorer kind, the proJu- cers have said: It's all honey, ain't it? What's the use of making such close distinction as to what the bees gather it from.-' ' 1 ben, again, little care is taken with regard to packing for market. In stead of being put up in a tasty manner, it is shipjted iii Imrrels and therefore sold at a low price to confectioners and others. Within a short time a few bee cullu rists have tried Florida as a honey pro ducing State. The success which has attended their efforts has induced others to engage in the enterprise. It is ex iccted that o of the finest honeys ever produced will U- soon in the market for general sale. The transplanted bees have taiien a great fancy to the orange blossom, and from it produces a honey very delicious in ll.fror. At present the Florida orange blo-som honey is a nov elty, and commands here as good prices as any brought to the New York mar ket, should the producers in Florida only take advantage of the experience gained in this State as to the advantages of the bees building the comlis and fill ing them with honey in marketable packages, there is no doubt, that honey from the Florida orange blossom will meet with as much favor as that produ ced from the white olover.

INDIAN'S AT SCHOOXk The Nursery of Aboriginal Slips at Lawrence, Kan. The Haskell Institute carc3 for nearly 400 pupils, about one-third of whom are girls. There is a very considerable group of buildings forming the institute, which consists of large and capacious structures for the school rooms, dormi tories and living purposes of the pupils, and additional buildings which are used for shops, storehouses of various kinds, and which constitute a little settlement There is also a large farm attached, on which the b vs are taught farming, gar dening and the like, and which is con sidered not the least valuable of the in structive agencies to which they are subjected. The institution is under the manage ment of a siqierinten lent and a large staff of teachers and assistants of vari ous kinds. The number of tribes repre sented in the school is nearly or quite thirtv, and includes the names of many of the most famous fighting bodies, as well as others not so well known in his tory. lo yon have any difficulty arising from the tribal distinctions?" was asked of the superintendent "There has been a good deal, as I understand, under prior managements, but I have substantially obliterate! it under the system w hich I have adopted. There is an intense clannishness among the bovs on their arrival, and in fact their tribal affections are never obliter ated; and yet it Is at least kept well in the background during their st:iy in the nstitute." "How do vou bring this about?" "I arrange them in companies, select- inir them with reference to size, putting the tallest boys on the right, which, of course, prevents anything like tribal association. They are also mised at the tables, and the companies are roomed together in the various dormitories, ami thus, by these and other means the tribal relations are weauencu uy uisiise, If not wholly obliterated." '1K you iiud any intellectual differ- race in the various tribes that is, are joine of the children of certain tribes Irighter, quicker to learn, more or less ijcile than others?" "There is not much difference iu that direction: the children of one clan are about the same in intellectual qualities as the remainder. I do find an inequal ity in one respect, and that is that 1 think I find more tractability and am bition among th.se ossessed of warrior blood, I had nucli rather teach the children of blaui .t Indians tlian those of the more civilized. As to the chil dren here, while there are twenty-nine tribes in all represented, there are more Chcyennes and Arapahocs than all oth ers combined. In reference to the control of the boys, the manager said tliat he has great suc cess in appealing to their manly senti ments. It is enough to say to an erring boy: "A brave man would not do that! Tlie son of a warrior would not do this!" When one of them gives his word oa anything or shakes hands on it, he re gards his pledge as inviolable, and never "goes back on it," in the words of the sui-erintendent. A trip tlirough the shops reveals the boys engaged in various occupations. In the rooms devoted to shoemaking, there weie four or five young men of from 16 to 20 years of age engaged in repairing foot furniture. Some specimens of their work were shown, and while they were not just what would be produced by a cosmopolitan artist, they were at least creditable to the locality and the oper ators. They handed out their work for inspection, and seemed sh( cpishly pleased at the commenilation which their labors elicited. There were several young fellows at work in the carpenter shop who shoved the plane and handled the mallet and chisel with as much earnestness as if they were white men. The exhibit in the blacksmith shop was as creditable as that of other work places; and, in short, in all the mechanical departments the boys seemed as much at home as if they were inured to the business by gen erations of training. There was, however, a point of differ ence between these young men and the same number of white boys. There is in the face of the thoroughbred mechan ic an expression which seems to be in entire harmony with his occupation. There was a lack of this in the faces of the young Indians. They were at the bench and forge, and yet from their countenances they seemed to be far away. They worked, as it were, me chanically, pen unctoruy. J hey seemed one thing, and their surroundings some thing else, Ahey were like an in- harmonous clement in the scene; as if two quite unlike things had been thrown together. Their expression was solemn. stern and unyielding. During the enj tire visit or inspection Mere w as scarcely such a thing as a smile to be seen on the faces of the boy or girL This was not owing to anything like unhappiness over their situation, but rather to the iwcullanties of their race. Each young Indian who was at work suggested some wild animal tamed suf ficiently to perform domestic service; something like a wolf broken to harness, doing the work well, but yet very much out of place with bit traces and collar. That the boys retain much of the old warrior leaven is constantly shown They evince it in their fondness for mili tary trappings and parades. They art excessively fond of listening to narra tions of heroic deeds. "Talk to us," they will often say to the superinten dent, "of the warnoi-s of Europe"' They listen to battle accounts and inci dents in the lives of great soldiers with interest intense bevond description. With such sentiments prevading their natures, it is not likely tnat they will make hrst-class, plodding mechanics. Thev may not know whv they do not love the occupations to which ci vilizat ion has assigned them; in fact they may fancy that they do like their civilized trades, but lvond question there is something in these labors that is at war with their instincts. A generation or two Liter may afford a difference, and they may take kindly then to what they now apply themselves to as a duty or a task. Old-fashioned but Excellent. And now, remembering the invariable thirstmess of children, who, I believe, really suffer much when they have thoughtless elders, J will give a cheap and easily prepared recipe for 'Imperial,' an old-fashioned but excellent drink, and. suitable for every one, of course, as well as children. Put a quarter of an ounce of cream of tartar and the juice and thinly cut peel of one lemon into a large jug, pour on them a quart of boiling water, and sweeten to your taste with white sugar. Cover it up, and when cold it will b fit for use. The lemon peel and creaw of tartar w ill fall to the bottom as sedi ment, and need not be disturbed in pour ing it out This last recipe will be found a verit able acquisition where tennis playing and constant violent exercises are going on among the young people of the family. ?7ie doctors disagree. The now fa mous fossil footprints found last year at Caraon, Nevada, and supposed to have been made by prehistoric human giants, are regarded by Prof. O. C. Marsh as probable tracks of a large sloth. It is stated, however, that Hark ness still insists that the impressions were left by a species of man, and that he finds his theory strengthened by fresh discoveries of tracks even more clearly defined than those first uncov-red. FARM NOTES, While it may be said that pese trees require nearly the same cultiva tion as corn, the pear trees do best when kept in grass. If cultivated and fertilized they grow too rapidly, which seems to bring on blight The yellows in peaches are caused by starvation, but the pear trees should not be forced. If the orchard is in grass it should re ceive fertilizers or manures, but not in sufficient quantity to more than nourish the grass. The grass crop should be plowed under when a sod has become thick, and a crop of rye grown on the sod. The ground should then be seed ed to grass again. The most important matter in connection with the grow ing of pears and peaches is iu avoiding disease. Sprinkling a solution of blue vitriol around the trees and spraying It m the branches and leaves Is an excel lent preventive. The trees should not be induced to bear early, as it is much better to allow themto mature the wood and become firmly established before being taxed for fruit. Then, with due precautions against insects, and proper care, they will be less liable to disease and will yield better. The first grade, says an experienced apiarist should consist of only perfect white combs, and it is his opinion that in mauy instances there should be only this one grade of honey. Borne bee keepers mato a second grade of unfin ished sections, but if the apiary is right ly managed there will be but few of these at the close of the season, and it is better to extract the honey from them, and keep the combs until another season. Honey that is too dark for the lirst grade should not, as a general thing, be stored in sections, as it is usually more profitable to extract it Like many other products, honey should be neatly put up for marketing to assure profitable sales. A Western bee-keeper says there is no doubt that much first-class honey does not bring first-class prices because of the manner of puttipg up. Its delicate flavor is lost and it soon becomes tainted by being put into whisky or molasses bar rels, or eveu fresh wooden barrels may give a taste. Tin cans are, iwrhaps, safer for storing or shipping honey in than any Eort of wooden receptacle. Professor Budd says that inset ting trees it is always best to lean the tree toward the south at a strong angle. This may not look near so well as to set them upright but we must pay more attention to profit to ourselves and gool health for the tree In this matter. By leaning the tree to the south in this manner sun-scalding is prevented to a great extent, for the top being partly between the sun and the trunk arcades and protects it from the beat; as the tops and roots both are strongest on the north side they will gradually pull the tree back into an upright position. The Le Con te pear, the Japan per simmon and the Japan chestnut are sub-tropical trees not valuable for pro fit north of the parallel of 35, which defines the northern boundaries or Mis sissippi, Alabama, Georgia and (approxi mately) South Carolina. Keinember this it asked to invest by the traveling tree agent of glowing Imagination and gaudy colored prints. Also, remember there is no blue rose, no strawberries that grow on trees, no cross ofstaw berries on blackberries and no huckle berry that will grow and bear in ordi nary garden or field We have ',rreat faith in the bagging system. Cur grape-growers should give it a thorough trial this year. It is stated by those who have tried it in other sections that grapes in bags will keep from four to six weeks longer than those without baza. Two-pound manilla bags, which can oe bought very cheap in quantity, are put over the bunches and fastened to the vine with pins. The time which this operation requires is well employed. The grapes can be left on the vine nntil severe freezing. Bags must be adjusted early after blooming or the good results are endangered. Tue advantage of keeping clean, smooth bark on any tree is that there is no place for worms and insects. The operation of soaping should be gone through with about three times during the warm weather. Whenever the the trunk and lower branches of any fruit tree are rough an application of some potash soap will bring the bark to its original smoothness. If the bark is very rough matters will be haitened somowhat by scraping. If the tree is I entered with any kind of enemies an application of this soap with a syringe will kill them if repeated often. An Illlno's farmer has a sixty acre strawberry bid, from nine acres of which be gathered In one season G5.50Q quarts of berries, which is at the rate of about 277 bushels per acre. The Crescent has proved the most profitable berry in that locality. Before one goesln to strawberry culture as a business, he should take into account the man ure he can get, and also find out whether he can get pickers enough when the season opens. It Is of little use to think of raising straw berries for market without manure and pickers in abundance. The American farmers may note with interest that an intelligent and in fluential English committee has, "with out hesitation," declared it to have been "abundantly and conclusively proved" that the ensilage system prom ises g reat ad vantage to the practical far mer by "materially improving the quantity and quality of his dairy pro duce," and enabling him to keep more live stock upon the same land. Tue New England Farmer says that "the evolution of the tomato Is going on in a remarkable way. Not many years ago the fruit was mostly skin and seeds, but the newest varieties are almost solid pulp with very few seeds. Possi bly, as in the case of the banana, the seeds will yet disappear altogether and the plants will have to be propagated by cuttings," Fbagiiexts of time can be used in caring for bees, fragments of lumber in making hives and frame fmcrmanta nt comb for wax, and every crop of noney is useiui lor me Dees, ir not for their owner.

Divide into halves, cut crosswise, take out the yolks and rub to a paste with a gener ous teaspjouful of butter. Season with pepper, salt and a suspicion of mustard. Mould into balls the size and shape of the abstracted yolks, put back Into the hollowed whites, lit the halves neatly together and roll each egg up in tissue paper, as you would a bon bon, twisting the paper at the ends. If you wish to make the entree ornamental fringe the squares of paper before en veloping the eggs. They are yet more savory if you have some minced gib lets (boiled and cold) to mix with the yolks, and a little gravy with which to moisten the paste. Pot Koast of Beef. Five pounds from the i ump, without bona. Place In a broad pot season with peppar, salt and minced onions, and pour over it a liberal cup of boiling water. Cover tightly and cook slowly two hours turn ing once.

Put the meat w hen done in a covered dish to keep warm while you cool the gravy by setting it in cold water. When the fat rises skim off every particle, return the gravy to the fire in a saucepan, thicken with browned flour, boll up and serve. Evea the coarser pieces of meat may be made palatable by this mode of cooking. Milk Socr.

On the return he had bis stone "girls." as the boys called them, placed in the rotunda of the state house with the expectation of selling them to the state. They looked so neat and lifelike that many a ruralist was taken in at their expense. One day a couple of lads from Sharon township dropped in to watch the proceeds of the legis lature. When they reached the rotunda they walked around taking In the pic tures. All at once they came to a stop. They had discovered the "stone girls" and for the time being stood spellbound, gazing with all the rapture of mortal life at the faultless beauties before them. At last one of them spoke up and said: "Bdl, do you see that?" "See what?" "That card just hanging over the girls' heads?" "Yes, but what of that?" "Why, don't you see that it reads Hands off?" "Yes." "Well. Bill, them ain't genuine live girls, for what live girl would say 'Hands off I' Bag ley "Just one moment." DeBaggs Excuse me, I am in a bit of a hurry. I expect my wife home from Atlantic City to day." "Are you going to meet her?" "No, I'm going home. I haven't seen the house since she left, and I want to brush the cobwebs from the front door. You see, I dated all my letters 'At Home.' " important.

From John Kuhn, Lafayette, Ind., who announces that he is now in "perfect health," we hive the following : "One y ear ago I was, to all appearance, in the last stages of Consumption. Our best physi cians gave my case up. I finally got so low that our doctor said I could not live twenty-four hours. My friend then pur chased a bottle of Dlt. VM.

A ritETTY fair story is told at the expense of one ot the dealers In ready made clothing, being an actual occur rence. A gentleman, in conversation with the proprietor, was asked if ho knew a certain well-known young man of the town. He said he did. "I tells yon vot he deet mit me. lie comes here and buys de best suit of clothes in de house and he forgets to ray for him." The visitor expressed disapproval of such neglect of duty and financial looseness when a new idea seemed to strike the dealer in hand-me-down clothing. "I was hear t somedings bretty bat of him," he cried. "Vot you dink? lie went oop to Schneider's and bought a suit and p-a-i-t for 'em!" Ilere bis indignation was so great that he said no more, tut shook his head ominously as he inwardly contem plated the wickedness of the world. "Will you please signal to me In the gallery when Mr. begins to speak?" asked a constituent of a member. "Certainly, sir, certainly." replied the senator. M Well, what shall the signal be?" asked the constituent. "I'll leave," answered the senator, with much enthusiasm. Scuawley "So old Smoothbore U going to start a daily paper?

A handsome woman is dangerous. A woman lia-i neither love nor re.-pect for a man she can rule. One bad woman can keep a whole neighborhood in hot water. A woman who is not jealous of her husband is not in love with him. This world is full of beautiful women, but a truly good woman is a rarity. Two things always trained for action a woman's tongue and a mule's heels. JS me cases out of ten when a woman says she hates a man she is in love with him. Woman is the sweetest and bitterest gift of God to man. A woman will confess to almost any thing but to the fact that she is growing old and ugly. The devil is never as black as lie is painted, and a woman is never as inno cent as she appears. If you want to keep a woman's love, keep up a slight but steady flirtation with her most hated rival. When a woman gives you her love, don't lay it away on ice for safe-keepinfj. Better keep it iu the wanna-1 corner of your heart, so if she calls for it any time you can return it in the condition she gave it to you. 27ie power which water has to trans port or carry is now usually appreciated. This power increases as the sixth power of tbe velocity, so that a stream flowing six times as fast as another will be able to transport 40,Go6 times more matter. The flowing data are often used by en gineers in calculating tbe scouring ef fects of water on the bottoms of nvers. Fine clay is hardly affected by a velo city of three inches a second. Fine sand is raised by six inches per second, while a velocity of eight inches will raise sand as coarse as linseed. Fine gravel is swept away at twelve inches per second, and twenty-four inches per second (one and one-third miles per hour) takes off pebbles about one inch in diameter. When the velocity gets up to thirty-six Teet per second, or a Tout two miles per hour and this is about two thirds the rate of an ordi nary walker pieces of rock as large as an egg are carried off. Professor LtsXoj, of the Pennsylvania Geological Survey, estimatesthe amount of coal In the Pittsburg region at 30, 000,000,000 tons. About 11.000,000 tons are now taken annually from Its bed, of which two-thirds are bitumin ous and one-third anthracite. Profes sor Lesley believes that the oil and gas supply will practically cease ten or twenty years hence. To which the gas journal of Lvjht, lb.at and Poxctr says: "Let it cease. If the gas supply of na ture holds out at a fair rate for ten years tlure will be a dozen different methods of making as good gas just about as cheap on the spot as the nat ural gas can be piped for, and if pre ferable to pipe the new gases from place to place the cost will not be much. A sudden stoppage of the natural gas sup ply will not banish the general use of fuel gas." The color produced by Buckingham's Dye for the Wtii.skere, is permanent and natural. To promote digestion, to keep the body healthy and the mind clear, take Ayer's FilU .tin English chemist has found a way for turning to account tbe practically illimitable quantity of seaweed that the ocean supplies, or at least as much of it as may be desired. lie boils the weed with carbonate of soda, and treats the filtered solution with sulphuric acid, obtainir? from it in this manner a sub stance Uiat ti.is more viscosity than starch, or even gum-arabic, and that can be profitably employed in stiffening various textile fabrics. It is also said to be excellently adapted for the mak ing of syrups and for certain culinary uss. From the cellular and fibrous matter left after tbe extraction of that material to which he has given the name of "alguina" a very good quali ty of writing paper can be cheaply made. -1 gaitlauun who died recently in Paris If fi a leeacy of SO.OOO to his niece iu Dubuque, Iowa, who died about the same hour of the same day. The ques tion which died first turns upon the re lation of solar to true time, and must be determined by the difference of longi tude. If the niece died before the un cle the legacy will revert to his estate, but if the contrary, her heirs will re ceive it. Customer "Did Hugh Conway write '-Living or Dead?" Xew Clerk "He wrote some living, but judging from the number of his posthumous works, I guess he wrote more dead." A simple and convenient way of ob taining the weight of cast-iron when the number of cubic inches is known is to divide the number of cubic inches by four, and then add 1 per cent, of the cubic inches. The result is exactly the same as if it had been multiplied by .2C, the weight of one cubic inch.
