July days are very sultry, and many ;

!, Water is as necessary for the subsist
: lance of bees as it is for mankind, and
every bee-keeper should see to it that
this want is supplied We have attached
to one end of our well platform small
trough, which is kept furnished with a
supply of water. This is duly appreciated
by the bees, and during the heat of the
day they are to be seen on the edges of
their water trough, and also on the straws
and small sticks, which are put in the
water for their convenience.
Shallow troughs might be placed in
the apiary, but it is some trouble to keep
them supplied with water, and would
save but little of the bees time When
moisture is condensed on the trees and
plants during the night, the bees will in
the morning obtain daily supply. But
| i there is an absence oi dew and there
is no standing or running water, it must
be supplied in some way.
Some furry things are told of the vow
age of Justice Bowling to England. The
Lydia Thompson troupe were passengers
on the same steamer, and the honor of be-
ing the fellow passenger of the distin-
gulshed Judge was not to be treated as
anything commonplace. Be it known
there was clergyman on board, too.
Well, a couple of the young men and a
couple of the young ladies agreed to get
married on the third day out, but when
the appointed time came the young men
backed out. A suit was then instituted
before Justice Bowling for breach of
| promise, and resulted in the award Of
damages The young men seemed to treat
the matter as pretty good joke on the
Judge, but the humorous Judge turned
the joke on them by giving them to I'M
derstand that the decision was legal one
and they must imeet the damages. The
matter was looked upon as being quite
serious by the young men, and they were
IN state OF great agitation until they
reached England, when they were in
formed that it was only little sport at
their expense. They think it best not to
make too free with a Judge, however,
hereafter as they have found out that
playing with edge tools might result in
injury to them.

discovered in that country he was a
ticket of-leave man, and, like many others
