DO Bees Make or Simply Gather
HOney2 so7r5 ai

J -
WHETHER bees make or simply oather
honey, seems yet to be a disputed point
There are writers who assert that the
nectar of the flowers gathered by the bee
is simply a portion of its food and drink,
and that the honey deposited in the cells
come from the honey -secreting glands,
which are analogous to the milk-secreting
glands of other animals +; that the honey
bag of the bee performs the same. Office
as does the udder of the cow. In other
words, that bees make their honey Such
writers argue that if it were not so,
when bee gathers molasses it would de-
posit molasses, etc, while the fact is, that
the various kinds ofmaterials upon which
the bee works, simply modify the charac-
ter of the honey.
u There are others who reason quite diff.
erently-who assert that the bee simply
gathers honey formed by. Nature in the
flowers. Such persons attribute the diff
ference which is observed in honey that
every kind of flower secrets mellific sub
stance peculiar to itself, partaking, to
greater or less extent, of the properties
of the plant upon which it is found.
Hence, some kinds of honey are very OBJ
noxlous-others even poisonous. In, some
localities, people think it is not safe to eat
honey at all, until after it has been boiled
"a process which is thought to evaporate
the poison Gus qualities. When doctors"
so disagree, it might be considered pre-
sumption for even the Scientific Presto de-
eide. SoiweleaYe this matter still an OPEN
question. cce(vsT} .5l,. aF5 10
We believe, however, it is generally
agreed that bees never mix the different
kinds of honey when depositing them in
the hive. If they commence to work on
white clover (Which makes the best hon.
cyl, SO long as that kind of "feed" can be
obtained, they will work on nothing else;
and all the white clover is deposited in
cells by ITSELF When they leave that for
buckwheat or any other food, they COM
mence depositing in adjoining cells, or
on separate piece of comb. h, s.a44
Experienced bee-keepers, who are
aware of this instinct, often remove the
combs which are filed during the contin-
uance of the clover; because after the
cells are all filled it is difficult to distin..
guish this from any other Exhibitors OF
honey at fairs not unfrequentlyl take ed-
vantage of this to secure choice Wlute
article, with which to secure the highest
prize, when the balance or average OF
the stock would be quite inferior.--iScse's-

THE OLD BROWN HAND.

10 The Democratic papers are inclined
to question the correctness of the census
returns of New York city, as it is now
probable that the population of the city
proper will not much exceed 875, 900 when
all the returns are in. The Times says:
at is not strange that Democratic organs
should cry out against the official proof
that our population is not increasing, for
it affords damaging evidence that their
heavy maiorlties in the city are chiefly
fictitious" a ssaeaY 583 81 aoo9aiA

eT The Scranton (Penn.) Republican
says: "The Democratic party Of today is
particularly anxious that the history and
record of the two great parties during the
past decade should not enter into the en-
suing campaign-in short, that it should
be forgotten. This is not unnatural,
though positively unreasonable. That
the Democratic party should desire to for
get its record is not 70 be wondered at, for
its works during the war, and since, con-
stitute the crowning shame and infamy oi

eY A statement has been prepared at
the Treasury Department at Washing
ton, giving a comparison between the ex-
penses Of the Government under Bu-
chanan and Grant. 1t shows that during
the last fiscal year of Buchanan's Admin
istration the expenses, per capita, were
$201 In estimating the present popula-
ton at forty millions, and deducting from
the present expenses such as arose direct
ly from the war, so as to compare such
items as make up the usual expenses OF
the Government, the cost for the fiscal
year 1869, per capita, was 1.64. This last
amount is made on gold basis at the
average of the year, which was taken at
% per cent,

nW It is admitted on all hands that
Grants administration is a failure. 1t has
failed to be as extravagant as Johnson's.
as weak as Buchanan's, as ignoble as
Pierce's, and as obstinate as Jackson's.
But it can't be denied that the President
smokes cigars. He has saved the coun-
try a hundred millions of money, but he
continues to puff! Let the Democracy
make note of this horrifying fact. 1t is
about the only consolation they have got.

another disastrous French defeat near
Beaumont. The Pru5sians had attacked
McMahon's army and drove it back upon
the Belgian frontier. The French camp
had fallen into the hands of the Prus-
