BENEFICIAL EFFEcTs TEA.-Tea is more and
more becoming necessary of life to all classes.
Tea was denounced fret as poison and then as an
extravagance Cpbbett was furious against it. An
Edinburgh Reviewer, in 1923, keeps no terms with
its use by the poor: "We venture to assert, that
when a iaborer fancies himself refreshed with
mess of this stuff sweetened by the coarsest black
sugar, and with azure blue milk, il is only the
warmth Of the water that soothes him for the mo-
ment; unless, perhaps, the sweetness may be pala-
table also" II Is dangerous even for great re-
viewers to venture to assert In a few years
after Liebig, with his chemical discoveries.
and demonstrates that coffee and tea have become
necessaries of life to whole nations by the presence
of one and the same substance in both vegetables,
which has peculiar effect upon the animal sys-

amongst nations whose diet is chiefly vegetable;
and by contributing to the formation Of bile, their
peculiar function, have become substitute for
ima food to a large class Of the population whose
consumption Of meat Ia very limited, and to
other large class who unable to take regular
exercise. Tea and coffee then, more especially
essential to the poor. They supply void which the
pinched aborer cannot 30 readily fill up with weak
and sour ale; they substitutes for the country

ret. They ministers TO temperance; they are

BEEs.-Every farmer should keep bees, few

Every man in either town country can keep bees
to advantage. DIR. Smith, of Boston. has an apiary

flowers in the world from which the honey bee can
extract food.
The cobweb must be kept away from the imrne
dnte vicinity Of the hive, and all other annoysnces
removed.
Never kill bee. The smoke of the fungus max

them as harmless brinstone does, without any of
its deadly effects. By means OF this, weak swarms.

that hive thus double will consume more honey
in the winter than stock in its natural state.
This was discovered by Swiss pastor. Dc Gelior.
The additional heat to instead OF addi
onal food, TO keep up the vitality Of the half tor
pid bees. cold, dry, dark room, is the best win

ney than If left on their summer stands and will
not be weakened by the oss Of thousands, which,
tempted out by the premature warmth, are caught

rise again.
Dryness is essential, and ventilation proper

improvement in bee keeping.
