BY JOHN NJ. WEEKS, Salisbury, VT
PATENT.
THNHlS hive was invented and patented
Il by John M. Weeks. On this plan the
lives of the bees are never DESTROYED and
all the surplus, pure honey, without bread,
may be taken from them without danger
from stings, or deprivng them of any part
o. their winter stores, or disturbing the
main colony in the operation.
As the success Of The bee cultivation de-
ponds principally on The management of
the queens, and preventing their Cestruc-
ton by the moths, the proprietor has pub
lshed a book which is designed as an ac-
compartment TO the hive. This hook is
a concise work, containing only 70 pages,
and yet contains all that is necessary 10
make n skiIful Apiarian. II contains 10
plain, concise ard easy rules, by which tho
bees ma be managed in auy manner their
nature will admit OF, and at The same time
make them The most profitable 10 their
owner.
Applications for the hive may be made 10

CoLoRED PEOPLE OF PITTSBURGH
A writer in the Pittsburgh Daily Advo-
cate, in speaking Of the efforts of the col
ored people in that city for improvement,
says -" 1t has been matter of surprise
and qualification, to those who have OBJ
served the department ofthe colored pop1-
lation of this city, that there existed
among them so much good order, and
almost an entire freedom from the beastly
practice of intoxication, which we too
frequently see exhibited in our streets, by
people of our own race. Their conduct,
so far as observed in this city, is fifty per
cent In the aggregate, more virtuous than
is the conduct of the same number OF
whites, in the same grade of occupation
and society,"
Yet some of the Christians of Pits
burgh are sustaining efforts to send these
exemplary citizens out of the country, to
have their places supplied with Europe
an papists, because these "cannot be ele-
waited here" -Evangelist.
THE HUMAN FRAmE.-How few are
in the habit of rejecting upon the skill
and wisdom displayed in their formation.
In the human system are 445 bones, each
having forty distinct intentions or functions
to fulfil 245 muscles, and each Of them
having 10 different intentions. Besides
the tcndons ligaments, nerves. and glands
of the body, there are not less than $780,
100000 membranous cells connected with
the lungs, more than 20O,OO0,0OO pores in
the skin through which perspiration is
constantly flowing, and above 100000
600 scales which compose the cuticIe or
skin of the body. There are also the
compound organs Of life-the brain, the
heart, the liver, the spleen, the kidneys,
the lntestlnes, the organs of sense, with
their varied connections; the saliva, the
chyle, etc, etc.
The astonishing ramifcations of the
nerves and veins through the system, NAV
be gathered from the fact that the least
puncture, though made by the smallest
possible instrument, Ohe sling of a gnat
for instance,) will both draw blood and
produce paln-a proof that both a nerve
and vain have been struck.

Having quoted the success of Mr..
Stimson in evidence ofthe efficacy Of close
planting, we will sustain the propriety of
his system by showing that several others
have produced large crops by the same
means:
Mr.. Stevens, of New7Jersey, near New
York, averaged on acres, upon each Of
which he placed 1880 plants, l1s BUSH
els of corn per acre; the distance about
feet one way by inches in drill.
Mr.. Ludlow, Of New Y ork, raised on
three acres, at the rate of 90 bushels to the
acre-his rows were feet, the plants 8
inches asunder.
Mr. Lorain, of Pa, raised 81 bushels
10 the acre; his plan was double rows
st feet wide-the number of plants 20, 900.
Messrs. Pratt, of Madison county New
York, obtained ITO bushels per acre ;
they used bushels of seed to the acre, the
plants being subsequently, reduced to the
requisite number. They grew this pro-
digious crop rows in drill, feet from
centres of drills, as is Represented in the
