IS SPAIN WEAKENING! A SignUoMit D.spatch Scat Oat iFrom New York. •pttai KvMMtly Sett th« UudwrUlB( On Un Wall and bnltem It Uwt it have What >he Cat loitead tf Um1b{ AiL Niw You. Jan. 9.—A special to the Journal from Washington says: Secretary of StateOmey has received a dispatcu from the American tniuisr ter, Hanoi* Taylorf m Madrid, an* Bouncing that tue SpauUu minister of foreign affairs, the duke of Tetuan. had formally invited him to give an opiuioa of tne Porto Kico reform* as a practical measure of self-government for Cuba. Mr. Taylor declared the scheme to be Worthies*. The duke of Tetuan then asked Mr. Taylor his opiuiou of the greater reforms lor Cuba promised m the preamble to ' the declaration of AWto Kino reforms. The American minister replied that the reforms were too vague to inspire stay confidence in America. \ Mr. Taylor urged t.ie Spanish government to make a denature declaration of its purpose to grant fall local naif-government to Cuba, coupled with economic reforms, as a basis for negotiating peace. Secretary Otuey was delighted at .the news that Spain had at last officially recognized the consultative rights of the Americau government in the settlement of the Cubau war. tie at once laid Minister Taylor's message before the president. After a conference with Mr.,Cleveland. Secretary Olney cabled to Minister Taylor, saying: “Your opinions emphatically indorsed;'’ and instructing the minister to urge upon tue Spanish government the necessity for prompt action. The importance of this news can hardly be exaggerated. It is the first step towards the acceptance of Americau mediation.

Mgui of Mrrmder. New York, Jau. 51.—A special to ilia Jourual from James | Creel man, at iiendaye, Spain, uri: There are signs that Spain is b jw ing before the threat political storm iu the United Mates. Every effort of the guveruuieut to uegotiate a new war loan has failed, and iu two mouths Spain will be utterly bankrupt. The reason that the three most important newspapers in Madrid hare recalled tneir correspondents from Cuba is that Weyier will not allow the story of his humbug militarv/operations and the crimes of his officers to be kuown iu Spain. Cauovas is like'a rat in ja trap. lie has declared strain and agfeiu that he wifi not allow Americau interference in Cuba, but 1 have the highest authority for saying that he will preseutly be on his knees to Cleveland. GEN. GOMEZ* TERMS. fh« Caban leader Raailj to Treat fot l*eaee On Certain CondUloua. New York, Jau. a.—Tue World states that Gen. Maximo Gomez, commander-in-chief of the Cubau army, haa sent, through an intermediary, to Senor.Sagists, liberal leader in .Spain, the conditions on which the Cubau insurgents •ref ready to treat with Spaiu for peace. 1 These conditions, seven in number, were, it is added, communicated to the Cuban junta in a letter received lJecember ‘4V. Geu. Gomez begins with a vehement declaration that the insurgents will contiuue the tight as long as life lasts and until the isiaad is laid in ruins, unless their demand for practical home rule is complied with. The peace conditions are; First—The recall of Gen. Weyier. Second—Restriction of the present almost autocratic power of the govern ors-general sent by Spaiu to ruie in Cuba jl'hird—Election of all mayors and., hfunicipal officer.-, on the islaud by thtrpeople by popular vole. Fourth—A new postal system. ' Fifth—A new system of internal taxation; the money derived from internal taxes to be speut within reasonable limits in Cuba and for the benefit, of the people. An abatement of tarilf taxes, especially in the case of flour, for which Cuba is dependent upon the United States, with provision for freer comtuerc.al intercourse with the United States. Sixth—An increase in theCubau representation in the Spanish curies commensurate with the population, wealth and revenues of the islaud. Seventh—An embodiment of these concessions in the form of a treaty with the United States government as a guarantee that they will be carried out after the insurgents lay down j

tlietr arms. Pending the treaty of peace, after Gtd. Weyler's recall, Gen. Gomez in* ! dieates three prominent' Spaniards, i with any one of whom the Cabans arS?* , willing to treat. They are: \i First, Gen. Xlartines Campos, a< Best, Gen. Calleja Isasi, or Gen. Panda. in his communication to the junta, i Gomes declares that the tacit offer of j the C oiled States government,through President Cleveland,' to guarantee Spain's good faith has led him to^pro* pose these terms in behalf of the in* enrgent armies.

THE FARING WORLD. GRAIN-TIGHT FLOORS. Bow W Moke C ue That WUI Not Look, EfU iJw Finest BtooL The actual cost of inclosing a granary with two thicknesses of hcmiock is less than the cost would be it one thickness of matched pine were used. Hemlock is more stiff and strong than pine and fewer sleepers and studding are requited. The corners may be made tighi and secure by matching. Begin by laying a course of the floor boards, extending them out 1:0 the studding which is to support the sides; then put on the first boarding of the sides. Then lay the second course on the floor and fin ish by boarding the sides. A sort of zigzag matching o£ the comers is thus secured thst will not leak jp-ain or the finest meal of ground feed.

tomary to use the cheaper kind of lumber. sometimes making'the first course of hemlock, mid the upper one of spruce, which bears the wear of wagons and horses better. For a wag«m bouse, where a nice floor is required, the upper course may be made of yellow pine. It is also the b^si way to lay a floor in mows or bays wjbgre hay is to be stored over stables or wagons, as it is more impervious to dux}, and dirt than are matched boards, and is also stiff and 6trong. Floors intended to sustain heavy machinery. such as hay presses or thrashing machines, it has formerly been the custom to make of'three-inch plank, both edges being grooved so that a tongue could be laid in where the edges joined. This method is expensive and does not make as good a floor as is constructed by using three thicknesses of lumber, laying the middle course diagonally and being careful to lay the upper course so fhat it shall break joints over the lower course. By this means the floor is like one solid piec3 of lumber, which will not spring or warp out of place.—American Agriculturist.

ABOUT REGISTRATION Trotting Hone Breeder* Here Bern Too Caroles* About It. The general and universal depression in the trotting horse business during the last three years has bred a great deal of inexcusable carelessness on the part of breeders and owners of stallions bearing on the subject of establishing and verifying pedigrees, says the Western Horseman. As is well known, under the ruling of the Register association an animal cannot be registered Without a certificate from the owner of the sire, or his accredited agent, and aiso a certificate from the owner of the dam at the time she was bred. During recent years all owners have been more or less recreant about registering, and many standard but unregistered animals have changed hands, and many who bred standard mares to standard sires have neglected to have their holdings registered. As the future looks much brighter for the breeding interest. owners jsire growing proportionately concerned about registration, and at this point they encounter trouble, ss parties who bred standard animals and sold: them unregistered, and owners of Stallions to which mares were bred manifest a great ihdirference about furnishing evidences to establish breeding when called upon. This is not right. _Jlny breeder who sells an anim.ai unreg- , istered is in honor bound to promptly furnish evidence of breeding when called upon, and an owner of a sire who w ill not promptly furnish the evidence of breeding when called upon, and aa owner of a sire who will not promptly furnish the evidence that -a certaiu mare was bred to bis horse oq a certaky^ date when applied to tor that,evidence, is not eutitied to the patronage1 of othe? breeders. /

KILLING THISTLES. How the UMtmtUe Weeds Are hipte ■eded by tin**. The notion that Canada thistles can be killed by mowing’ them in dog day.: when the stalks are hollow, so the water will euterand rot the roots, has been going the ro unds of the press ever since 1 can remember, and it will keep right on being printed.' no doubt. Is not the' annual grow th cast off in any ease, whether it iis mowed or not? And as for the hollow stalks, they are not hoirtoy.- any further down than is perfectly healthy for the thistle, and good bads are just below, all ready for the next year. The least of a thistle's troubles is the rotting of its root in this way. What reality happens is, that, mowed in late summer, there is a better chance for the grass, which grcws and thickens all the fall, and thus the thistles are superseded. Every farmer kills oceans at thistles in this way as a perfect matter of coarse. The hay on new seeded land is often mostly thistles; the second rear they are much diminished; the third there Is nearly clean grass, provided, of course, that the groundcaa produce ^ood grass. Give thistles clean culture and you may mow in dog days all you want to without injuring them in the least.—E. S. Gilbert, in N. Y. tribune. Does it puy to keep swine until the second year, we are again asked? No, ’crowd them to maturity as rapidly ns possible, twit remember that young swine need wwwilMlg besides corn.—

THE EXPERT APIARIST. B« Will Wateb His Bsss la Winter as Wall as ia Summer. The expert bee-keeper watches his apiary in winter as well as in summer. Trwef theNbees should not be disturbed If they am doing well, for if a strong, Wealthy cjdony is rudely disturbed some bees—wifi leave the cluster and, perchance, the hivg. If the weather is eoid i enough to chill them, many of these will I perish. " Another bad result of such a disturbance is, that from some instinctI ive cause the bees fill themselves with i honey, and if a prolonged period of are- ! tic weather follows and prevents them from taking a cleansing flight the colony will become unhealthy, which j causes its loss entirely. But these cautionary suggestions do not imply that there is no winter work to be performed in the apiary. The modt skillful bee-keeper look after their bees at all seasons. He watches them throughout the year, and is acquainted with the situation and conditions of each colony. It happens sometimes that a colony goes into winter quarters with a large number of old and nearly wornout bees and but few of younger stock, in very cold weather the older bees succumb and, falling, soon clog the entrance to the hive. Unless they are removed, the entire colony will smother. The entrance must be kept open. This is easily done with a wire hook about a foot long. Soir.e- | times excessive moisture in a hive | causes some fatality, often sufficient to j block the entrance at the bottom. Thus i it is ueeessary to watch the apiary i every day to avoid unnecessary losses. I Care is required in removing dead bees ; in order that the live ones may not be disturbed or aroused to activity. It sometimes happens, uotwithstand- • ing the altentio that may have been | given to fall-feeding, that a colony may have consumed its supply of honey in ! midwinter. It must he fed or be lost, i Methods of feeding are familiar to all, ! but it is not out of place to state that | one of the simplest and easiest is to !, fill a wide-mouth fruit jar with a sirup made of granulated sugar and water of a consistency thiek enough to an* ! swer the purpose, and tying cheese- : sacking tightly over the mouth of the jar, luvert the jar and place it directly over the cluster. The bees soon tiud I it and appease their hunger. Some bee- ! keepers, however, prefer bee-candy for ! this purpose. It is made by boiling ! sugar sirup until it reaches the candy j state and then pouring it while hot I into pie tins. When cold it is ready i for use. It is placed on the frames j over the cluster, and does not distuib the bees.—farmers Voice.

SPLENDID NEST BOXES. A Row of Them Can Be Blade at a Very Small Kxpense. The row of nests shown in the illustration can be made by anyone at all handy with tools. They answer every purpose and are quite inexpensive affairs. The row of nests is 12 feet long and contains 12 nests to a tier, one tier above the other, 24 in all. The nests are 16 inches from back to front, so that the ehd boards and partitions between nests are 16 inches wide. The height of nest row from floor, to the broad board fastened on top of upper row of boxes measures a little over 30 inches. The lower nests are shown with the doors standing open, while the doors of the upper row are sbut. The doors to the

ROW OF NEST BOXES.

upper row open back or up, and are I held open by nooks and staples, the staples being driven into the broad board above. .The upper doors w ill stay closed without fastening, of course, but the lower doors are provided with hooks and staples. Little wooden buttons would answer the same purpose and are less expensive. This 12-foot double ro>v of nwsts is placed lengthwise of the poultrl’ house in such & way as to make them the partition between the main or roosting-room and the nest room. At each end of this partition there^ is a tall door frame and • screen door, the frame with pickets ou top, so that fowls cannot fly over or out. The object in having the upper tier of nest* sloping is to prevent the fowls from roosting upon them. They cannot gain a foothold, and are obliged to be content with the regular roosting arrangement of the house. The broad board above the nests is fastened to the door frames, and above this is stretched a 32-inch strip of poultry netting to keep them from flying over this part yf the nest box arrangement into or out of the nest room. The nest room is a long, hall-like space .three feet wide, and is for the express uv: of sitting hens. Here are kept feed, water, grit and the dust bath for the broody ones. When a hen wants to sit a nest and eggs are given her, the door opening into the main room is shut and the door to the nest that opens into the nest room is left open instead, that she mar leave her nest for feed at her pleasure. The arrangement is really very complete and worth trying. The expense of such a set of 24 nests should not be heavy, provided they were made at home from cheap material.—Orange Judd Fanner.

Ortn4 Xml* and Vtoh. If job cannot get fresh meat for your poultry, or if the expense is apparently too great, use the commercial ground meat. Fish i* also excellent for ducks if the eggs are to be used for hatching, and ground fish will be very acceptable to them. In the winter season, when grain is largely used, meat or fish will serve to supply the deficiency of nitrogen. One cent a pound is about the coat for ground meat or fish, and they are very cheap, even at doable* the prion*—.National Stockman. "

A THffiTEEN-YEAB-OLD CHILD PARALYZED. Ik Vu CfWMd by m Kerrou Affection, and Rendered One Arm Lifeless. - V From the Times, Paolo, Kantas. A. happy family is that of Mr. James Mo-j Kinney, of Hillsdale, Kansas, on whom a Times reporter recently called. His business with these people was to learn the facts for his paper of the cure of their 13 ! year old daughter from a case of nervous j prostration, and the facts were learned j from Mrs. McKinney herself, who quickly ! told the following story: “The first perceptible result of her ex- j treme nervousness was apparent in a halt- \ ing step of the child in her right limb,” said j the mother, (4and a physician was called in i to attend her. No apparent change coming, ! another doctor was called to attend her. j She continued to grow worse, although we : thought the doctors helped her, until she lost the use entirely of her right arm. which j hung listless, and apparently lifeless oy ner j side.” “The physicians finally told ns,” continued Mrs. McKinney, ‘‘that Mary would ! outgrow it in time, but by accident, my i husband picked up a circular in his sbop, j which so highly recommended Dr. Williams' 1 Pink Pills ior Pale People, that we con-I eluded to try them. Mr. McKinney procured 1 a box at Grimes' drug store in Puola, and | we began by giving Mary a half pill ata time, and gradually increasing to one pill at1 a time, ana before wc had used one box we ! could see they were domg her good. This { was one year ago. 8he had been suffering at that time for four years, under the doctors, j and we were so encouraged over the good | effects of the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink | Pills, that we continued to use them, and the child started to school again and has been able to attend school ever since, gradually getting stronger and in better health all the time as you now see her, and we don't notice the old trouble any more. “Yts, we are always.readv and willing to recommend Dr. Williatns’ Pink Pills, And j do so all the time to our friends,” replied i Mrs. McKinnev to our question; and continuing, she said: “We do not know what the doctors called Mary's affliction, but we took it to be something like paralysis or St. Vitus’ dance, and we became very much alarmed about her. “Our local phvsieian,” she says, “now tells us that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are as good a thing as we could use; and while alary is apparently well, she has occasional attacks of nervous headache, and then she ] savs: ‘Mamma. I must take another Pink i Pi'll,* so von see she has great faith in them, but does uot like to have us talk about her |

late sanction. Mr M-’Kinney is as much or more enthusiastic over the great benefit done his daughter through the use of these pdls^ He said: “Nothing too good can be said by me of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills they are a great medicine.” . Dr. Williams’ Pink Ihlls contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the biood and restore shattered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to femmes, such as suppressions, irregularities ami all forms of weakness. In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worrv, overwork or excesses of whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk) at 50 cents a box or six boxes for *2.50. and mav be had of all druggists, or direct by mail from: Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. Wall to Remember. What is good for one is not always good for another. This is illustrated in a short tale told some time ago about a French medical student. IVhile in London on a visit the student lodged in the house with a man very sick with a fever, who was continually besieged by his nurse to drink very nauseating liquids which were lukewarm. The sick man found this almost impossible to do. until one day he whispered to his nurse: . “Bring me a salt herring and I will drink as much as you please. ” The woman indulged him in his rerequest; he ate the herring, drank the liquids, underwent the required perspiration, and recovered.^ The French student, thinking this very elap^r, inserted in his journal: “Salt herring cures an Englishman of fever.” On his return to France he prescribed the same remedy to his first patient with a fever. The patient died. On which he inserted in his journal: “N. B.—A salt herring cures an Englishman. but kills a Frenchman.”—Harper’s Round Table.

Bo«th«r» Hom« la Tou A great development i» now going on in the Coast Country of Tens, especially that portion known as the “Diamond district” This is a section with Houston and Galveston at the north and south point&of the Diamond, the west side beind bounded bv the Gulf. Colorado A Santa Fe Railroad ana the east Side by Buffalo bayou, San Jacinto bay and Galveston bay. Less than four years aro this was a great cow pasture, being one of the richest grazing countries on the face of'the globe. Only a few isolated small farms existed, but they were producing phenomenal results, not only with the southern staples of corn, cotton, oats and sugar, but more particul rly with e .rly fruits and vegetables In fact it was demonstrated beyond any doubt that the net revenue produced yearly from ten or twenty acres would equal and in many cases exceed that of the ordinary quarter section in the north. People of all trades and professions in the north were attracted toward south Texas by the successful result of the jetties at Galveston, wliich increased the depth of the water in that harbor to more than twenty-seven feet, deep enough for the largest vessels and the rapid advance of commercial prosperity in both Houston and Galveston. These people were not slow to see the agricultural possibilities in the Diamond district above referred to, and the results of the past four years, depressing as they had been financially speaking, had been astounding. Houston has doubled her population, Galveston has done nearly as well, and the intermediate country is dotted throughout the entire Diamond district with hundreds of small farms in the highest state of cultivation. Railroad and watemfeiciiities are ample and reasonable, and the inhabitants of that district are within an hour’s ride of the two largest as well as the Metropolitan cities of Texas. Within its borders have g^own the prosperous little citii s of La Porte, Webster, Alvin, etc., which are attracting the attention of the whole north. The climatic and healthful conditions are all th t could be asked for, and it is expected that within a very few years it will be the garden spot of the United States. - Wnxx some men get hurt they take so much pleasure in telling about it that they do not seem to mind the injury.—Atchison Globe.
