Work for Septesaber.:-fh-e- ;ark for the bee-keeper
this month in the most important probably of the
whole year. Whilst the idle bee-master is only intent
upon tie amount of his honey yield, those who really
love their bees are most careful to have the whole of
their stocks in a condition to winter well. Through
the neglect we now see, especially in cottage and
farm bee-stands, many stocks which would with care
have proved valuable, are suffered to fake oar* of
themselves, and thus miserably perish during the
winter. As the wife of one of our intellegent yeomen
said to me recently, "If they live they live, if they
die they die."
The first work this month is to mark the hives which
are intended for honey or taking up; those left to con-
tinue the apiary or to stand over winter should be with
the greatest care examined. If no others means exist
test the weight of each sleep; by gently lifting them
from the bottom-board you may readily judge if they
can outlive the coming wintry season.
Do not sulphur your condemned stocks. This is •
most cruel plan, ani should never be adopted
by any bee-keener. We are most thankful to see
that in our villages, extending over an area of about
8 nave miles, it is very seldom • single stock
Is We have instructed a poor man
to go over the country each September and visit every
apiary, either large are small: he charges is. math
stock he drives, for his labour. The condemned or
stocks set apart for honey be drives into empty hives,
then smoking the adjoining stock, which is left for
wintering, he unites the condemned or driven Mock to
these. If they are well smoked it will prevent any
fighting, and the driven bees being prely in the
same condition sea swarm, i.e., filled with hooey from
the cells before leaving the skep, they are received by
the other hive with feelings of joy, because they come
I laden with rich provisions. Only one of the queens is
left to reign (it is generally the strongest), so no fear
need be apprehended. Thus, instead of haying a poor
dwindling stock, it is at once by the above simple
method made into a strong stock, therefore far more
valuabled. Is not this a better plan than cruelly
destroying them over the brimstome pit.
One of our greatest pests are prevalent just now,
and often work immense havoc amongst the weak sad
defenceless oolonies—we refer to wasps, poor thine I
They are in a starving condition, and as much for
protection and warusto as food they, wherever it is
possible, force an entrance into the hives. We have
witnessed in about a fortnight the destructionof a ADO
thriving apiary of some five stocks solely by
With strong stocks you need not take any precaution
to defend the bees ; but ea a man's greatest foes are they
of his own household, so with hem we find the wont
enemies are amongst their own neighbours, often from
an adjoining hive. Oh, what annoyance we have
often experienced from robber, in the autumn; yet
after all, upon reflection, we manly wonder at this,
for it is the fault, in most instances, of their owners.
It comae about as follows: the honey harvest is past
(we now speak to those beekeepers who never move the
lakes to the heather for the weed and beet hooey
harvest), and the best with week stores, but strong
stook', finding the neat hive is a defenceless colony
from Its small number of bees, but withal having
rich stores of honey, at once make war upon it. ea,
and it is astonishing in what a short space of time the
rich honey is carried off to the hive with poor stores,
and the next thing is to find the bees else gone with
their honey.
This may be prevented, first, by closing the en-
trances so that only two bees can pass or repass at the
same tins; this will giro the col ny one means of
defence, which they will not be slow to take advan-
tageef. But ithhe fightingeocitinues after this has been
done, lose no time in thoroughly smoking the hive of
the attacking party, or the actual robbers; this will
at least for a few hours quiet their turbulent epirit,
and after a short season of reflection they will pro-
bably abandon their contraband habits, and turn to
more industrious duties. We have never known this
to fail when we have been able to experiment on the
robbers from a hive in our owh apiary, but what can
we d , when it bello to some other a diatoms
away ? We once had a fine stock completelydestroY•d
by a hive of half-bred Ligurian/ coming
a distance of
half-a-mile ; do whatever we could it seemed to have
DO influence whatever in checking the marauders.
However, we have seldom known maldna the entrance
small to fail, and both for weeps and bees it is the best
means of defence.
We should remind all our friends this month to
examine their bee-stands. After remaining for several
years unmolested they are apt to decay just above
the ground; this is frequently unperceived until after
a high wind we find the hive with Its contents scat-
tered about, thus when it is too late we regret not
having looked at the supports, and wherever needful
having either strentithened them or mimed with new
supports. "A stitch in time eaves nlat."-11. in
Gerdel.Cr'S Chronicle.

THE DEATH 011' KR& BRAVO.
The second, and probably the anal, act in ths
notorious Bahian tragedy was an Wednesday enacted
at Souther, where Mrs. Bravo, the widow of Mr.
Bravo, whose nipiteirions death °weekend so much
excitement, has died suddenly. The deceased came to
Boutin,. to reskis some six months since, leading up
her residence in a villa et the extreme end off the
beach. She lived a Tery retired life, band visited only
by her few near reives. It MOM, however, that
Mr habits were far from temperate, the evidence
given at the Inquest proving distinctly her intemperate
disposition, and recently she had been frequently 11l
In consequence, the siolcome taking a sudden and
fatal turn on Tuseday night.
In the afternoon an Inquest was held on the body
by the Portsmouth coroner.
Mr. James Orr, of the Reform Club, London, said
that he had been staying at the Souther' Royal Beach
Mansions Hotel, for the last eight weeks, and was
uncle of the dimmed. Her name wee Mrs. Bravo,
and she was thirty-three years of age. She was widow
ofO harks Tamer Ds Lamy Bravo, who wee a barrister-
in-law. The deceased onseito live at Coombs Lodge in
April last. She lived a retired life and made no visits.
The Coroner: What were her habits as regards tem-
perance ?
Witness : I believe she was somewhat intemperate
In her habits. I have been in Australis until with the
last three years, but during the trial, I have heard.
she wee addicted to intemperate habits. Daring his
residence at Soothe's witness only called once or twice
a day upon the deceased to see her, and had sometimes
men her the wane for liquor. During the
time he had been at Southsea the deceased
had been taken ill three times—he believed
as a result of excessive taking of stimulants,
which resulted in violent vomiting. Twice she re
covered through the assistanoe of her maid, the advice
witness gave her, and her own good constitution; but
the third illness was a fatal one The illness, which
resulted fatally, commenced on Monday. although the
demand had been taking stimulants for the last two
or three week', most of which time she was in bed.
The deceased used to take stimulants until sickness
ensued. This generally knead for several hours, and
the deceased left off taking to excess. On the previous
Friday it was arranged that the deceased and witness
should start for a tour in Scotland, and he said to her,
" Florry, keep straight, and let us start on Monday."
Enright, the maid, said to her, "DO promise Mr. Orr
you will not drink any more brandy to night," and
she replied, "I won't promise." She went upstairs ;
but on the maid presently returning she said she did
not think har mistime would be able to go on Monday.
He new the deceased both on Sunday and Monday,
and she WM more intoxicated on the former day than
on the latter. On Monday she was very sick, and he
stopped until late at night. He went arida on Tues-
day morning, when he kund her vary bad, suffering
from exceseve vomiting. She asked for some stimu-
lant. He replied that be thought she had bad enough
already. She, however, said she should die if she
did not have some, and be gave her a email quantity
of brandy. On Tuesday demand wee very ill, and
frequently said, "I am going • lam going." Witness
proposed that the demand should have medial advice,
but she refueled to have a doctor, thinking that
she would get over the attack as she had previous 0040. ,
About two hours before the deceased died a sodden
collapse took place. About half.an-hour before she
died the cleared had a severe attack of Wealth&
altar which she laid beck exhausted, saying, " I can't
breathe; save me, mare me!" Witness gave her some
brandy, but she never spoke afterwards. Some obser-
vations being made about a medical man not being
sent for, witness said the fact was that deceased had
got the impassion that her habits of private life were
being talked about, and she wished to avoid that, so
refused to have a medical man.

After some evidence by decreed's maid-servants,
who were present at the death
Dr. Robert Healy Smith said he first attended her
as Mrs. Throe. in May, when she was suffering from
an OXON/ of stimulants. At his suggestion she became
a total abstainer, but only for seven weeks. As the
result of a post-mortem examination, he attributed
death to hiemorrisag of the costa of the stomach, pro.
duoed by vomiting, accelerated by the excessive use of
alcholic stimulants. The deceased's kidneys were
much coogested, and she had what wee known as •
mitmes or drunkard's liver. There was no appear-
mom of the doomed having takes any irritant
poison.
The Coroner haring summoned up, remarked that
the medical evidence clearly disproved any idea which
might have been prevalent he to the dammed having

The •ury returned • verdict to the effect that

drinking, which produced the appearances described
