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 News and Thursday evening at her home on Washington street Mis Mary L-e Smith charmingly a number of her friends in honor of her birthday.

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- ed oil with a squirrel tail. This i performed by the women. 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. A and Its Penalty.

Here they enter the still carrying tho moss in their mouths, going backward, be- ginning from the end of their tails, advance till the body, with the exception of the mouth, is entirely immersed.
