Mistaken Identity.

A GOOD story is told in Washington of
a genial young gentleman, unwilling to
omit recognition of an acquaintance, who,
at a wedding reception, lately caught
sight of gray-whiskercd and rather
stately person, and being satisfied by in
quiry of his identity, Immediately edged
along to his side.
Good evening"" said he, extending his
hand with cordiality. 'Pm delighted to
see you! | believe we haven't met since
we parted in Mexico"
81 really fear" said the gray-whiskered
magnate, THAT you have me at an advan-
tage."
F'Why, you don't recollectl But then l
was very much younger" said the other,
when with my father in Mexico"
'And, to tell the truth" said the other
gentleman, "my remembrances of ever
having been in Mexico are very indis-
tinct."
Excuse the question:" said the young
man, rather desperately; 'are you not Sir
Edward Thornton:"
''By no means. l am Judge Poland, of
Vermont"
"a thousand pardons ~ said the dis
comfited youth moving away.
But few nights afterward, at another
reception his eye was similarly caught,
and the edge of his modification having
been worn off, he could smile at his mis-
take, and he accordingly made his way
once more to the side of Il gentleman, with
gray mutton-chop whiskers, and after
word or two on the weather and the scene,
he suddenly said:
"That was an awkward thing of me the
other night, when l took you for old
Thornton"
And who do you take me for now,
may ask ?" said his companion.
Why-why," said the embarrassed
young man-o of society-''you told me you
were Judge Poland, of Vermont"
"On the contrary, my name is Thorn
ton," was the rather annihilating response;
and the young man at this day calls it a
case of diabolic duality.

for Pollen, or s.Bee- Bread"

THESE warm days stimulate the bees to
the rearing of brood, although there is as
yet no pollen to gather Pollen, or ''bee-
bread, as it is called after being stored
in the hive, is the chief food of the Larvae;
and, as they cannot be reared without it,
the bee keeper will find it necessary to
give them substitute for it when their
natural supply is insufficient for the young
brood; it should be given at least until
the early flowers appear. There is usual
ly supply of old bee bread in the combs
during winter for early spring use, and
combs containing this may be equally dis
tributed among the swarms that are de-
ficient. Flour has been given as sub
stitute, and the bees appear to prefer it to
the old pollen. Rye flour, unbolted, is
generally considered the best; but Ora
ham, or unbolted flour from wheat, may
also be used, while common flour is Of
little value. Place it in shallow dishes
among the hives, where the wind will not
disturb it, and the bees will soon begin
appropriating it to their use. 1t is vet
too cold for the bees to fly, excepting
when the sun shines; therefore it is only
necessary to give them flour on
warm and pleasant days. Unless it
is fed now, it will soon be use
less to take the trouble; for, as soon
as flowers yield pollen in sufficient guam
,ieiSS th'y VIII iio tOuell tuc
Spring is not the only time when this
substitute is found necessary Sometimes
during period in the honey season there
are no flowers that yield pollen, or at
least, but an insufficient quantity, and
then it is well to supply the lack by feed
ing unbolted -four The bee-keeper will
find knowledge of botany of use to him
in this case, as he can then ascertain
when the bee-pasturage is devoid of per
feet and staminate fiowers-that is, such
as produce pollen. A simple way of ascer-
tanning If the bees are unable to find pol
len, is to watch at the entrace of hive,
and see if any of the worker-bees return
from the fields laden with it. They are
easily distinguished from the honey gath
ers, as their loads of red, brown, or yell
low pollen, which they carry on their
thighs, are distinctly seen. When there
is deficiency of this food, the swarms
will necessarily decrease in numbers, as
no young bees can be reared without it.
1t is also undoubtedly used by the bees in
the formation of wax, although it has
been shown that it is not indispensable,
as wax can be made from honey alone

Right and Wrong Views OF Life.

To diminish to their utmost the sorrows
and the evils of life, to increase to their
greatest extent its joys and pleasures, has
ever been the great object toward whose
attainment all the labors of men have
been directed. The history of the world
is but the history Ofihumanity striving
for this.end; bilt various and often won
derfu1 are the ways by which it has been
sought, for the ideas Of happiness anfl its
attainment are almost as numerous as the
. Inhabitants of the earth. What gives
pleasure to one may create in another the
feeling of disgust. One mans ideal of
perfect bliss would seem picture of
misery to. another The Esquimaux
would imagine for himself an icy heaven,
with reindeers aud sledges in profusion,
, and seas full of seal and walrus; but the
inhabitant of a torrid country would shud-
der 40 such an ideal, and paint in its place
n land of eternal summer. However, all
'agree thisfar: they make heaven of the
very materials they have around them,
only exalted in quality and degree. Is
there music here? Then there must be
music in heaven. Are there flowers here?
Then flowers bloom there. there
rivers end la)ses and bright sunshine here?
Then all these are there also. The most
perfect state of happiness of which the
human mind can have any conccptionhas
all rs elements in this life and the condi-
lions connected tnereWltn IL cdHnot ne
otherwise; for our Imagination, however
active, can form nothing new 1t may
change the order and position of elements,
but can never create any. II may select,
however, and when we form our ideal OF
a perfect world. we place not in it the
things thai have sbeep painful and dis
agreeable e us here. But othcrwfse It is
only earth again. True, lit isimpossible for
fancy to paint the grandeur of the

a New ROAD To HEALTH has been devel-
oped by DIR. j. WALKER, of California. 1t
cuts right through all the old fallacies of the
faculty. His famous CALIFoRNIA VINEGAR
BITTERs are working wonders. The formula
of this inestinnble Vegetable Medicine ex-
cludes alcohol, mineral poisons and danger
GUS narcotics. 1t is tonic of the purest
character, with cathartic ambitious and
general regulating properties. Composed of
vegetable products gathered on the Sierra
Nevada, and other parts of California, it is a
medicine sui geh,eris, without rival, as
remedy for dyspepsia and all bilious and
nervous disorders.

A New Dissemination.

The grand opening of the Retail Depart
ment of John V. Farwell " Co.'s Dry Goods
Store, this week, was the most brilliant dis
play ever seen in the West, and marks new
era for Chicago. A leading wholesale dealer
in another line expressed the general senti-
ment in saying, he felt just pride in their
success because they were SO accommo-
dating, always sold at reasonable prices, and
gave tone to the trade of Chicago. They
have long stood at the head of the wholesale
dry goods trade of the Northwest, and this
exhibition marks their pre-eminence in the
retail trade

Like that of liberty, is eternal vigilance. The
vapor-laden air of spring exercises depressing
influence on the vital powers. The strongest feel
this devitalizing effect; the weak are Frustrated
by it. Everybody is less debilitated at this
season, and the feeble nstinctivcly seek the help
of medicine. Unfortunately, the remedy "
resorted to sometimes aggravates the mischief.
Raw stimulants are eminently pernicious in such
czses, and drastic cathartics about bad. The
vital principle needs succor and support, and a
reinforcing preparation that will tone and rouse,
while it regulates and purfes the system, is the
medicine that nature demands. All the medicinal
elements required for such emergencies are com
bined in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the purest

world has ever known. 1t is a mild stimulant. a
powerful tonic an unequaed appetizer, an abso-

in all ailments to which the feebler subject,
and a general household medicine unequaled

which have made Hostetter's Bitters famous every
where. See to it, however, that you have the true
