The plumage of the black Langshans is of a uniform glossy black. In appearance they somewhat resemble the Cochin. Their flesh is white, and they have a very thin white skin. Their meat is fine grained, rich and juicy. The lames of tho Langshans are very small. The breast is long and deep, giving an abundance of the white breast meat. The Langshan is hardy. California has the honor of originating and breeding, in its purity, the white Langshan fowl. When first hatched, the chirks nrc n bluish white on the back, with throat and breast white and canary. When fully matured, the plumage is pure spotless white, legs Mflish slate, with vivid pink showing through. The feet arc bright pink,

A mottled and a blue variety of Langshans art? also bred in a few quarters, the former having been undoubtedly formed by crossing tho black and white and likely to revert to one side or the other. Fanciers place particular stress in breeding Liingshaiis upon securing “style” in the carriage of the birds, a high station and great length of tail. The Langshan matures more rapidly than the Cochin, has a finer quality of flesh and is more prolific in egg pro-

duction.

Clipping the Wings of queens.

Do you clip your queens’ wings? | What are the advantages or disadvantages of the practice?” The foregoing queries were answered by a number of apiarists through tho columns of The American Bee Journal. Their replies made it appear that the beekeepers are alsnit equally divided on the subject. Among those who did not clip the wings were C. H. Dibbcm and J. E. Pond, who use drone and queen traps. E. Secor, who had tried it, summed up tho subject of advantages—first, age of the queen more certainly known; second, swarm more easily hived. Tho disadvantages—first, trouble to hunt and clip. Among the advocates for clipping was R. L. Taylor, who said: Tho advantages are that swarms are managed with much less care and labor, and by no chance can any swarms elope with a clipped queen. There are no disadvantages, except the slight labor of clipping them. C. C. Miller said that ho liked to have his queens marked so they can’t lie changed without his knowing it. A clipped queen can’t fly off with a swarm, and that may save the swarm from going off. S. I. Freeborn said that the greatest advantage, and it is a big one, is that it saves lots of absconding swarms, especially in out apiaries, where they are not closely watched. It also is'a great help in keeping swarms separated where several issue at the same time.

Tin* i Hource of I'otH^li.

In the United States muriate of potash is the cheapest source of potash in every state except two. These are Delaware and New Jersey. In each of these kaiuit is cheaper than the muriate. In Maryland the price of potash in kainit comes very near to the price in the form of muriate. Tho farther you go from the coast the more kainit will cost. In Minnesota, for example, a pound of potash in the form of kainit will cost 7.52 cents, while in muriate tho cost is only 6.13 cents per pound and in sul-

phate of potash 6 cents. AnH'rictin Fo«l<l«*r llrirk*.

Sandy ILxik, N. J., Sept. 11.—The final tests of the new dynamite guns was made yesterday afternoon. The { test was witnessed by the ordinance ; board. All the loaded shells struck and j exploded in the places designated and desired. The official report will be reaily in a short time. It is thought that it will be favorable. llroth^rhoml ol Klmiien. Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 11.—The first day’s session of tho convention of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen was devoted to the reading of Grand Master Sargents report. Last evening a public meeting was held, at which addresses were made by Mr. Sargent, Samuel Gompers, Ex-Master Workman Powderly and other labor advocates. The report of Grand Secretary Arnold shows a balance of $77,000 in tho treasury. iyhiik* l’ou ml (iiillty. Williamsport, Pa., Sept. 11.—J. W. Bowman, president of the defunct Mun- ! oio bank, has been found guilty on six counts of making false entries with the intent to deceive the United States bank examiner. He will ask for a new trial. The minimum sentence on each count is

five years.

He was an employe of the -Singer Sewing Machine company here, giving his name as James Carl. t'riHoner Itdineil Iteatn* Ashland, Wis., Sept. 11.—The Hurley jail was gutted by fire last night. Prisoner Tom Gord started it in his cell and was himself burned to a crisp. Protection Againnt (•raftHhopperti. At the Texas station the following mixture has been efficient in killing grasshoppers: To six pounds of wheat bran add one pound of sugar or molasses and one pound of white arsenic. Use enough of water to make a thick dough and put down in three rows, six feet apart, ahead of hoppers, a tablespoonful of poison every six feet. This should begin, say, at 5 p. m., and at 5 a. m. put another three rows in the same manner, and pick up in the afternoon of the second day the first poison that was put down. Wet this, rework, and it is as good as any. Success has also been attained with the application of one pound of white arsenic, dry, per acre. This was applied with the Roach poisoning machine at a rate of about 40 acres i>er day, using it only very early in the morning and late in the evening. As much as two pounds of white arsenic per acre did not injure the cotton when applied dry. For the protection of poach trees and other fruits kerosene emulsion, consisting of 1 part oil and 12 parts water, is an unqualified success. Poultry Ilimiw For Small Yanl. Ill country towns and elsewhere when poultry runs are limited a house with latticed basement will be found to haY'e many advantages.

HOUSE WITH LATTICED BASEMENT, ground the covered yard afforded by the latticed basement is defended in largo measure from rain, snow, sun and wind. The house, wnich in summer will bo cool, may bo rendered warm in winter by a thick layer of straw. The illustration is from Stoddard’s Poultry Architecture.

IN THE LAST STAGES OF MOURNING, change in the arrangement of the sash. The former long loops aro now short j bows, with tho long ends falling to the lower edge of the skirt. The sash gives such a tiioroughly feminine and youthful finish to tho costume that it is sure to be received with pleasure. One of the airiest caprices of fashion is an enormous tulle cravat forming a large bow, tied directly under the chin, which looks like a big delusive butterfly. The latest fad of ribbon cravat is made of several yards of ribbon, quite narrow, which is used up in loops and two long ends nearly reaching to the feet. Ruches aro very much worn also about the neck of gowns, spangled black tulle being the favorite now In Paris, although one can form them out of any of the "lovely thin stuffs that are so plentiful. Black velvet belts are in

vogue too.

A smart costume designed for a young widow in the last stages of mourning and described in tho New York Sun is made of white silk muslin with the tiniest of black dots, a black lace application in a large bowknot design on the front of the skirt, a smaller one on the waist. It is all accordion plaited ami made over a white pean do soie, the wrinkled belt and collar of soft whito and black silk. The largo picture hit woru with this lovely gown is a lace foundation trimmed with knife pi a i toil black silk mull and soft white silk folded about tho crown, black tulle plaited and standing up straight, giving a chic finish to the filmy structure. It looks so cool and such a relief after the heavy black. Another extreijely striking gown for the same person was made with the skirt of gray and black silk pekin, stylish double breasted coat of black satin, the pointed basque cut away in front and fastened with large jet buttons. It had huge revers, covered | up with the cravat of white silk muslin, elbow puffs of black satin, long gray I suede gloves and a gray chip hat with parma violets. How to a Few Annoyancefi. To drive red ants out of a cupboard | place in it an earthen dish containing a pint of tar, over which two quarts of hot water have been poured. If irons lie rough and sticky, rub them on fine salt sprinkled on a board. Sprinkle clothes with a whisk broom dipped in hot water. A spoonful of vinegar put into the water in which meats or fowls are boiled makes them tender. The rubber rings of preserve jars will recover their elasticity if soaked for awhile in weak ammonia water. Smivrnlr ('uslilonn. The latest fads in cushions aro what are called "souvenir cushions.” A young bride possesses an entire set of | these. One is made of pieces of the dress j she wore the first time she mot her husband, another from pieces of her engagement dress, while the most gorgeous of all is one made of pieces of her wedding dress. Of course these cushious aro strictly ornamental. OatiiM-al Nectar* A cheap, refreshing beverage is made from oatmeal. Into a large earthenware or porcelain lined kettle put 4 ounces of fresh oatmeal, (1 ounces of white sugar and a lemon sliced very thin. Mix with just enough cold water to melt the ingredients; then pour on one gallon of boiling water, stirring all tho while. When cold, this will be found a delight-

ful drink.

The people of that portion of the country are reared amid the quaint old colonial mansions built centuries ago. This Is probably accountable to Hie fact that some of the best architecture In this country may be found in and around Boston. Examining the floorplans, we find there are eight rooms and a bath, with a spacious closet connected to each sleeping room. The first floor shows a good sized parlor, with a bay window on the side. There is nothing mure pleasing than a bay Window properly placed In a room, es|>eclally in the parlor. It breaks the boxy and unwelcome appearance of tho room nnd always looks w*U from the outside.

Tho bathroom contains a porcelain tub, a water eloset and basin. Tho Beat of the closet is ventilated by moans of a small pipe eonnccUsl with the chimney directly at the Iwiok, thereby dispensing with that unwelcome smell at times when the closet is Iteing used, which cannot be done away with by any other than this method. There is also a window *t the end of tho room. It Is obvious that every bathroom should contain a window connected directly with outside light and air, but this -an lx' found omitted even In the lH»t class of houses, and Instead having no other ventilation than a small ivln-

A piazza should never be placod in front of the dining room, ns tills room should have tho preference of the light to the other rooms. It should always have an eastern napoo*, so that the morning sunlight will always be welcome at tho break fast table and In the evening when the sun sinks In the west wo may avoid that blinding nnd too glaring light.
