Habits OF Bees.

l. Bees, in common seasons, in hives of
1000 cupic inches, will be likely to send
cut one or more swarms annually until the
locality is fully stocked with colonies.
2. In hives Of this capacity, and with the
locality fully stocked with bees, they will
give butian averge of about 10 lbs. of sur
plus in boxes, in common seasons.
3. They will consume so lbs. or more du-
ring the breeding season and Winter, giving
one seventh to the keeper and consuming
six-sevenths. efy,
4. From one to three weeks time is lost
by them in preparation for swarming, SO far
as gathering surplus is concerned, and this
is the very heart of the honey season. r
b: In the construction of their cells and
building their comb, they will arrange for
brood and their Winters home in the center
of their hive. In taking up box hives, the
good, clear honey is found in the topof the
center sheets, and in the whole body of the
side sheets. And the outside sheets in
movable comb frames are the sheets saved
for surplus. ,..,.,e. !. .e-..,.
g. If there is plenty Of room in the hive
for all the colony, and all the stores, they
can gather, they VIII not be likely to swarm.
Mr.. Quimby says Of the large hive, -s The
swarms will not be proportionably large
when they do issue, which is seldom !. !.
Z. The best arrangement for storing sur
plus is in boxes of the capacity of from five
to ten or twelve pounds, with glass sides
sufficient for fair inspection of the honey.

Gem. ScOtt's Temper.

That Gen. Scott was of hasty and irasci-
BILE temper in these latter years no one knew
better than himself. That he was as ready
perhaps, as well known to the public as it
should be- | was witness, accidentally, to an
incident illustrative alike of his impatient
spirit and real gentlemanhood 1t occur
red while he vas yet commander in chief
though | cannot fix the exact time His
Office was on Seventeenth street opposite
the War Department. His carriage stood
at the door one afternoon as passed, and
discovering at the instant that he was COM
ing out for ride, | paused to see him.
Kind enough at heart, and thoughtful of
his troops when in service, he permitted no
undue familiarity on the part of his soldiers,
and required proper observance on all &C.
casions OF his rank and position The reg
ulars knew this well enough, and were not
likely to offend in this regard. His pecu
liarities were very little known, however, to
the volunteers. AS he came out Of the door
of the building in which headquarters were
at this time, an orderly stepped up with, as
it appeared afterwards, a letter from one
of the bureaus Of the War Department,
which he had been directed to deliver to
Gen Scott at Once-of course to his adju-
tant- general or chief of staff. The willing
but not well-learned volunteer interpreted
his order literally however; and carelessly
giving the salute, began: "Oh, General,
here's paper | want you to lcok at before
you. The naughty veteran Of near
ly four score seemed dumhfounded for just
one or two seconds, and then Strengthening
to his full height, and raising his cane
with sudden sweep of the arm-I think he
had a cane - he exclaimed in weighty
voice, "Clear out, sir-clear out!" The
astonished orderly sprang away, and the
General passed to his carriage and was
driven off. The letter was taken charge of
by the orderly on duty at the Office, and the
other slowly walked on. The carriage was
driven no more than twenty or thirty rods
before it turned about, and the driver called
to the unfortunate orderly. He, of course,
met it hat in hand and fear in every ouiv-
ering muscle He was beckoned TO the
door, and the general asked his name and
regiment-as he told two or three Of us
Immediately afterward, He gave both and
the general answered, 'sWell, sir, report to
your colonel that you were guilty of gross
dlsrespect to Gen Scott as an officer, and
that Gen. Scott was guilty of gross disre-
spect to you as man. Gen. Scott begs
your pardon. Go to your duty, sir. -

Victor Hugo.

A pleasant anecdote about Victor Hugo's
habits is told at great length in the g Petit
Revue" by neighbor of his, as long ago as
1848, when both had chambers on the Place
Royale, and occasionally met at one Brass
ier's barber and hairdresser of that quar-
ter:
Going in to be shaved one morning,
said t'WeH Monsieur Brassier, how is bus
iness to-day? % s'Excellent, sir, excellent; ;
more than I can attend to- Balls and par
ties everywhere. Here, you see, is list Of
thirty young ladies whose heads are to be
shaved between now and evening""
Dropping in at Brassier's few days after,
asked "and how did you get on with
your thirty lady customers the other day ?"
Don't speak of it couldn attend to
more thnd half Of them, and lost dozen or
so of good customers, all because of Mr.
Victor Hugo" sBut how did Victor Hugo
have anything to do with it," s'Why this
was the way of it, sir: Five minutes after
you left, in he came and seated himself in
this very chair Ipat the napkin about his
neck and was on the point of putting my
brush to him. when suddenly waving off my
hand, he cried out, wait minute and
with that he took out his pencil, and began
fumbiing in his pockets for something he
did not find. Then all at once, seeing a
sheet of paper ON the table there, he took
possession of it and fell to writing In
spite of the hurry was in, was willing
to wait for him to finish but he, without
paying any more attention to me than if |
had been at the other end Of the town, kent
scratching on, stopping now and then to
bite the end OF his pencil. Write away said
| to myself, but if you can read it after
wards you are lucky one 1t was hor-
rible scrawl, sir, you may believe me.
And they pretend he is q great writer /.
Then ] said to him respe ctfully, when are
| you ready, sir !? In second says he,
and he goes on with his scribble, stopping
for minute to look up at the ceiling, and
then at it again; meanwhile, you under
stand, with brush and sosp-cu in hand,
ready to work Finally | ventured to say !:
Beg pardon, sir, but | am extremely busy
to-day 30, busy, are you? so I'm L. and
with that he got up and went out You
have forgotten your hat, said |. why to

il on and went without being shaved

The Cow i'm the Family.

If you have means, and wish to live
pleasantly, get you an Attorney cow. She
will make the richest and sweetest cream
and butter, and of course milk. of any
They are worth having, these little docile,
quiet animals, seeming more like members
of the family than anything else, though
apt to be mis-shapen, brindled or spotted,
and pale at that-thin necks, like deer, and
heads the same, but yet very gentle-dif-
ferent from all other COWS.
Next to the Attorney for milk and giving
more, but not 80 rich, is the Ayrshire-a
most noble breed for the dairy, and most
excellent in the family There is more
pride to be gratifed in such a COW. She is
sleek and round and most excellently
formed, having all the points perfect. The
Devons are rivals to the Ayrshires, and will
be an honor to any family.
Either of these will do, or even "na-
tive," though these are the ugliest of all
cows-pitched rump, cramped and disfg
ured and sometimes vicions, sometimes very
docile, varying much in all the points of a
good and bad cow You must run your
risk with native breed. But when you get
a good COW, of whatever breed, then abide
by it. Get gentle one, and she win not
be worried by dogs; she will not trouble
you or the neighbors either. You will
sleep content for all Brindle will d)-for
she is intelligent and knows what you want.
and does it to please you and mother that
takes such good care of her-of this other
mother, as the COW is You get an affection
for such COW, and that is great benefit.
You will then treat her well, and she will
treat back in return. Such a COW, of course
you will not part with, for you could not
dispense with even her company, to say
nothing of the immense amount of milk,
the real stuff and sinew of the family, that
she gives you. We have experienced these
things, and We know how to appreciate a
good eow.-Cor. Rural World.

Taken at His Word.

A few years ago, says the Schenectady
Sun, when it was the custom for large girls
and larger boys to attend district schools,
an incident took place in a neighboring
town which is worth recording One of the
fairest and plumpest girls OF the school
happened to violate one of the teachers
rules. The master, q prompt, energetic
fellow of twenty FIVE, summoned her into
the middle of the floor. After interrogating
the girl for few moments, the master
Numbered out:
"Will you give me your hand ?"
|hes, sir, and my heart too" promptly
responded the girl, at the same time stretch
ing forth her hand TO the master, and cycling
him with a cunning look.
A death-like silence reigned for moment
in the school; tear was seen to glisten in
the masters eye; the ruler was laid uron
the desk, and the blushing girl was re-
auested 10 take her seat, but to remain after
the school was dismissed. In three weeks
after the school was finished, and the teach
err and the girl were married.

dOrsement.
A short time since, says the Chicago Tri-
bune, we stated that the Chicago University.
by the unanimous action of its Board of
Trustees, had decided to place Britain
lightning conductor on the University build
ings This action was taken by the Board
after critical ex animation of the merits OF
this conductor, and viii decided prejudice
against 1t at the commencement Of the in
vestigaion. The work has been completed
by Mr.. Britain, and on Saturday last, the
9th inst, it underwent a thorough examina-
ton by the Faculty of the University, who
presented Mr.. Britain with the following
unqualified endorsement at the conclusion
of heir labors. This certificate fully sub
stimulates the opinion we have heretofore
frequently expressed as to the unqualified
merits of these conductors Upon this point
there is now hardly room for discussion.
The following is. the certificate Of the
Faculty of the Chicago University:
CERTIFICATE. '154 95-- e
This is to7certdfy that the lightning con-
duetor known as sBrittan's Continuous
Copper Strip Conductor" has been applied
to the buildings of the University of Chica-
go, after very careful examination Of its
merits both by the Faculty and members of
the Board of Trustees We believe that
the two, disting gushing features of, Brittans
rod, viz: its presentation of broader and
continuous surface Of metal, and its non
insulation are based on scientific principles
and give superiority to this rod over every
other. The manner of the application of
the rod to the building is most careful and
thorough. and the whole job executed to
our highest satisfaction
