I have also taken much medicine under the directions of able phvsicians, About one month ago I suffered from one of the nost violent attacks of the disease, and at once be gan taking hot salt water baths at xour new and splendid bath house in this city. Under the rare of pur gentlemanly and efficient attendant, Mr Henry Schmntte, I have, I think, entirely recovered. Fro'i' experience and my observation of the re sults of treatment of many patients at the Hot Spring's above named and at your bath house, I am convinced that betterand quicker results can be ob tained by a course of hot salt water baths at your bath house than at any other place in the country.

FOUL BROOD THE BEE KEEPER'S WORST ENEMY. No Remedy for the Disease Save De struction of Everything Contaminated The Ilarneaa Agricultural Xotes and Household Helps. Damage From Font Brood. This is probably the worst disease that the bee keeper has to contend with, ani many a man has gone out of the business discouraged through the los es sustained in this way. When the disease is once established in the hives the rapidity of its devel opment is so great that in a few days the whole hive is ruined. It is es sential that a strict watch should be kept up for the first appearance of the disease, and as soon as the first signs are discovered radical remedies must be administered Immediately. Foul brood has long been recog nized by apiarists us a disease very formidable in its nature, but there has been so much ignorance conci rn in it that very few havo known how to deal with it promptly. After years of examination the best authorities claim that the disease is caused by the bacillus alvei. small rod-like bac teria that multiply so rapidly that' in five days a single larva may pro duce a billion more. These germs are very small,- and even through a small magnifying glass . they are sometimes invisible. It is only through their numbers and rapid multiplication that the danger comes in, and unless checked early in their growth the bdes will be ruined. The bacilli not only attack the brood, as was supposed at one time, but they also often destroy the mature bees. In fact, every part of the colony and hive becomes infected, so that it is not safe to use any of it for another colony until fire has purged every thing. The best remedy for foul brood is to destroy everything, writes Annie C Webster, In the American Culti vator. The diseaso must be stamped out, unless the risk is to be taken of having all tho colonies attacked. It there is only one diseased colony on the farm with a dozen or more clean ones the surest and best remedy is to take hive, bees, brood and every thing and burn them up at ' onco That will stamp the disease .out im mediately. Partial remedies are applied by taking the foul brood out of the hive, and then submitting the hive to boiling water for half an hour. Both hive and frames are used again after they are thoroughly boiled. The good honey can also be saved, as well as the wax, but neither should be used as food for the bees, as the slightest germ left on them may cause the diseaso to spread again. It is better to destroy and lose every thing than to have other hives con taminated by careless method a Some apiarists spray the colonies with germicides, and partial success has been obtained in this way. Salicylic acid and carbolic acid have been used for this purpose, but such spraying is not recommended except by experienced bee keepers, who understand tho nature of the bee as well as all of their diseases. Many of the best bee keepers agree that this spraying,' even in the hanis of experts, hardly pays for the trouble demanded, and that the best remedy is to stt) rnp out the disease with fire and boiling watfej v After handling the foul brood, however the hands should be carefully disinfected by washing in two quarts of water with one-sixteenth of an ounce of mercury chloride dissolved in it This should be done every time before handling another colony. Management of the Harness. Mud is more destructive to leather than moderate wear, and so one of the chief things td be observed in 'he care of harness is to keep it clean and tho pores filled with proper in gredients to increase thepliableness, and at the same timo render the leather impervious to water. One thing to remember in cleaning a har ness is the mud which has accumu lated is not to be taken oil by rub bing; if it is dry (and it should never bo allowed to become so if it is possible to prevent it), soak it well and let it get soft, so that by throw ing on water it will run off. When harness is to receive a thorough dressing unbuckle every strap and wash clean with warm soft water, in which thero is a little castilo soap, using a spongo or cloth, and when nearly dry apply tho oil. Vege table oils, with tho exception of castor oil, should not be applied to the harness, as they are hardonlng In their effects. Xoatafoot oil Is perhaps one of the very best leather protective that can lie ucd. lteforo applying It is necessary that tho leather be slightly dampened, so that the oil will penctrato.

Sandy Soil and Fertiliser. andy soil requires more fertilii- ers than the clay soil for any given ;ropj, and if the manure is applied end the land not used the strength is apt to be carried away i iqto subsoil There is consequently a constant loss on sandy soils, and vo cannot store up fertility in such arth far ahead. On clay soils all , manure and vegetable material will , be retained until used by crops. Fcr- j tiiity can be stored up for half a dozen years jn advance, and the amount of loss will be very smalL The richer soil gets the better it can bo worked or crops, and more satis factory in all ways will the results bo. While sandy soil may be of great advantage for strawberry and small fruit culture, tho heavy clay soil, well cultivated, underdralned and manured freely with clover, will, in most ca es of farming, prove the most satisfactory. Colman's Kural World. ' l.oratlou ot Farm Hulldlugs. One of tho most important farm economies consists in having build ings for stock and other purposes within reasonable distance of the house and with a clean plank walk from one to the other. The number of times a day that the distance be tween the house and barn Is traveled make it desirable that they should not be very far from each other. On the other hand, house and barn should not be so near that the de struction of one by fire must neces sarily involve the burning of the other. Agricultural Notes. Whoever can produce good bacon or good sausage can sell tho product at a good price in any reasonably sized town. Don't be contented if the farm Is gradually decreasing In fertility. By proper rotation, manuring, eta, it can be built up. Sugar beets, mangels, rutabagas and turnips are all of inestimable value to tho flock and should be raised for winter u e in season if diseases are to be avcided. Unless farm machinery is taken care of. it will be found that a large lortion of what is made on the farm will be required to keep good ma chinery. Farm implements like all other machinery, will rust out quicker than it will wear out. A farmer said at an institute that his yield of corn last year running from'l2J bushels per acre down to eighty, was exactly proportional to the time the manure bad lain on the surface before being turned under, and his experience with last yoar's crop was the game. Tho best way to keep manure is on a freshly plowed field. If rain soaks it in, the valuable substance will go down into the soil, ani the work of spreading may be done in the winter The saving of labor and the exposing of manure on the ground will be ad vantageous next season. A specialty in stock keeping is all right after you have thoroughly learned the businoBs of handling them. But until you have done that, it is wise to keep stock as an adjunct to the business of general farming, and to keep as much of a variety as you can, s? as to utilize in the best way the produces of your land. An exchange names the following important points in farming: First, raise all the feed you' can, all the stock you can, improve your farm all you can, vote for all the improve ments you can, elect all the honest men you can to office, breed to the best stock you can and tend your children to the best neighborhood school.

She Was Despondent BeeaoM Her Af fianced) Had Taken Ills Own Ufa. New York, Feb. 19. The fate of May Ilrookyn, who committed suicide in San Francisco, was the subject of general comment in theatrical circles yesterday. Sbe la said to have been engaged to Frederick A. Lovecraft, Mr. Palmer's former business manager, and it is considered a melancholy co incidence that he, too, committed scicide some months ago, and used the same poison as Miss lirookyn carbolic acid. The "Buttons" te whom the San Francisco dispatch says Miss Urookyn left her effects frequented the the atrical district for some years. He la now about 2U years old, but from boy hood Miss Brookyn took a friendly in terest in him. He gained his sobriquet of "Buttons' because he played the part of Buttons for one night in the "Kajah" at the Madison Square theater. Miss Brookyn's past is little known. It is believed, from disconnected facta which she gave concerning her early life, that tdie was the danghter of an English curate of good family. She married at the age of 16 Captain King, an English army ofllccr, but their mar ried life was unhappy and they sepa rated. A few years afterward she went upon the stage, making her de but in Mr. Irving' company. In a short time she became a star and trav eled in the provinces. The real name of the dead actress is unknown. She came here from England in 1888, with a fair professional reputation. Henry C. Jarrett, the actor, who was in Mr. Palmer's company with Miss Brookyn for five years and also knew her in England, says she had been very de spondent for some time and often spoke of suicide. AMENITIES OF JOURNALISM. A Kentucky Editor Rises to a Question of Privilege and Scores Another. Lexington, Ky., Feb. 19. Bad feel ing between the mayor and editors of this city culminated yefterday when Mayor Duncan published a card de nouncing the editor of the Transcript as "corrupt by nature, a coward by instinct, malicious by disappointment and a liar In general." The editor of the Press has had oc casion to differ with Editor Sam Rob erts, and in bis paper yesterday said: "Were the editor of the Leader cap able of feeling the indignity and dis grace of a slap in the face, a kick, or a public cowhlding, there would be some satisfaction in bringing him to a personal settlement But in the light of past events, which have shown him to be without a spark of self-respect or manhood, and that he persistently seeks refuge behind -the cowardly policy of non-resistance, any gentle man would scorn to dirty his shoo by bringing it in contact with such a con temptible, craven-hearted cur. An opportunity, however, may be given the Leader editor to substantiate some of his charges against Mayor Duncan." FOURTEEN MEN DROWNED. Los of the Iron Steamer Alert Off the Australian Coast.

The Transmisslsslppl Congress Want Hawaii Taken In. San Francisco, Feb. 9. The ITawaiian matter was called up yester day and again threw the congress into a spirited debate, there being consid erable opposition to the strong reso lutions reported by the committee. An attempt was made to substitute a resolution commending a protectorate over the islands as a solution of tho problem. This was quickly voted down. The convention then, amidst uproarious applause, passet. these reso lutions: Resolved, That the great interests of the country on the Pacific coast, both in peace and war, require that the Hawaiian islands shall not bs liable to be subjected to the domina tion or influence of any foreign power. Resolved, That any attempt to fores on the Hawaiian community that restoration of the arbitrary monarch ical government of the late queen Is repugnant to the sense of justice and republican principles of the America people. ' Resolved, That the opportunity to further American Interests and to la sure to said islands a free, permanent and humane government afforded by their application for annexation, presents a settlement of the Hawaiian question by peaceful acquisition and a spread of American institutions which it would be both foolish and wrong to decline.
