Representative Small has in-
a bill which may be of
great importance in the drain
age and reclamation of the swamp
lands, particularly of Eastern
North Carolina. Recently Rep-
of Min-
introduced a bill
the receipts from the
sale of public lands in certain
States to the drainage of swamp
lands in those States. The
of States which now have
public lands is comparatively
small. Mr. Small has redrafted
this bill, making
changes, the principal of
which is that the funds can be
used for draining swamp lands
in any State whether having
public lands or not. The bill
provides that the United States j
shall be reimbursed by easy pay-
for the expenditure re-
quired in the reclamation.
bill of Mr. Small further pro-
that lairds located in the
State and susceptible of
may also drained under
provision of the act at the option
of said State.
As North Carolina still owns
large bodies of swamp lands
which are after the tic
has been removed, unless
they can be reclaimed, it will
seen how the State could utilize
this act for its benefit. These
swamp lands in North Carolina
are owned by the State Board of
Education, and any improvement
or enhancement in value would
increase the assets of our public
schools.
Mr. Small states that the idea
is not at all impracticable,
that really conditions may be
such in the near future as to re-
in the passage of the bill.
Texas, which has no public
lands as well as the delegations
from other influential State.-, is
actively favoring this legislation.
And why not We are utilizing
the proceeds of sale of public
lands, and there is no possible
reason why should not use
part of the same funds for
the surplus water from
swamp lands and, thereby, open
up to settlement lands which will
be infinitely more fertile and

The Way Insects Are Gathered and
Prepared For Use.
The history the cochineal In-
sect was for a long time very ob-
and lit one time the species
in commerce was
f grain. It was not
the close of the seventeenth
that it was discovered to
of insect origin. The insect is a
live of Mexico, where it was raised
by the Mexican Indians long before
the country was discovered by the
It is now cultivated in
sonic the West Indian islands
and in a feW western stales,
but it i- in Mexico only that it i
raised in sufficient quantities to
form an article of commerce. The
insect raised mi the cochineal
tree, or Indian or which
is a species o cactus.
The cochineal i- collected
the middle of December. The
insects are removed from the tree
with a knife, the edge of which has
been blunted, or are carefully brush-

insects are usually killed by the
plication of heat, by linking in ovens
or by the heat of the sun.
When the cochineal arrives in the
market it is in the form of a small
grain, having a convex and a con-
cave side, but with little re-
semblance to body of an insect.
It is used for dyeing crimson and
scarlet and making carmine.
Cochineal alone yields a purple col-
or, which, when mixed with a
of tin in acid,
may be changed to a most beautiful
scarlet. The discovery is said to
have been made in this
A man who was making a
placed in his window an
extract of cochineal made with boil-
water, and in some way a vial
containing acid was
broken over it. This acid changed
the purple dye into a most beautiful
dark red. and by experiments this
man found that the tin
ed in the acid caused tho change of
color. An ingenious dyer at Leyden,
Holland, brought the discovery to
perfection. The secret afterward
became known, and a large dyeing
establishment was erected in Paris.
This accident occurred years
ago.

Our readers have had the news
that the Culberson anti-pass
amendment to the railroad rate bill

abroad that the rate bill was to carry
an amendment that would kill the
free pass industry, a great howl went

Overman to see what could be done
