Bees SWarming.

A sure way to prevent bees from going to
the woods when they come out and alight is
to get pail half full of cold water from the
we'll take broom-brush and dip it in water,
and throw it up over the bees, and it will
come down on them like fine rain, then hive
them in the usual way, and sprinkle them
while going in, and sprinkle the ground
around the hive, to cool the air in fifteen
or twenty minutes do it again, and continue
it until the day is cooler; keep the hive in
the shade. There is no need of having any
bees 90 to the woods-not at all. l had over
forty swarms last summer, and saved all by
sprinkling them.
The bee journals tell of men who make ar
tifcial swarms, and yet have bees 60 to the
woods; there is no need of this if you use
cold water. "But," says one, "my bees go
to the woods without alighting." don't
dispute it in the least; but during the thir
ty-fve years that l have kept bees | have
never had swarm come out and 60 to the
woods without alighting first, and am safe
in saying that have hiyed thousand swarms.
Bees sometimes come out undiscovered, and
after while start for the woods, and are
seen on the second start.-Rmal NeW

The Sun and the Earth

If the recent corrections of the suns dis
tauces are finally established by the transit
observations of 1874, this will really indicate
that the sun is spheroid $4,000 miles
across, and that in mere matter of bulk it is
so vast that million and a quarter of earths
would barely suffice to make up its volume.
A much more satisfactory and philosophic
conception of "the home rule" of the uni
verse is secured, if start is made in idea
from this grand centre stand point rather
than, in accordance with the more usual
practice, from the earth. The source of &C
tivity and power is an orb nearly one million
of miles across; and the pigmy earth, which
if dependent upon that source for light,
warmth, life and all change and movement
of whatever kind, is suspended in space one
hundred aud eight diameters of that central
orb way, and is of one million and quarter
times smaller dimensions than the sphere
from which it receives these endogments.-
There is certainly more for the human in
tellect to seize when the fact is stated in this
way, than there is when the sun is spoken of
as sphere ninety-two millions of miles from
the earth, and as large again as the moons
orbit.
1t is suggestive and noteworthy feature
in the economy of nature, that in the one in
stance which comes within the experience of
man, the great source of impulse, energy,
and power, is six hundred times larger than
the entire cluster of subordinate worlds that
are lit, warmed, and organized from that
source. Such, in the marvellous scheme, is
the ratio of power to result of active, deter
mining cause to passive accOmplishmeDt-six
hundred fold to one. Fire eddies, thousands
of miles across, and Aame-tougueS one hun
dred thousand miles high, whirl and leap in
the sun in order that soft winds may breathe,
gentle rains fall, verdant plants grow; and
endless generations of animals succeed each
other and run through the appointed round
of sentient being, on the islet worlds that
have been scattered through space, each at
the appropriate span of remoteness that fits
it to the end secured.-EdinbWrgh RevieV.

The Three Great Nations.

The census of France for 1872 just pub
lished, shows that the nation, notwithstand-
ING the losses by the German war, still ranke
with the three greatest on the globe in the
chief elements of power and prosperity
The population has receded from $4,000, 600
to little over $4,000 900; and it is est-
mated that the value of the real estate-Al-
SAGE and Lorraine turned over to Germany
is 1865 900 900. These are heavy losses,
but as France in her time has done good
deal in the way of military appropriation
from her neighbors, she cannot complain
The general injuries of the war and those on
business may be heavier than those resulting
from the capture of provinces. In only
thirteen of the departments of France, has
there been any increase of population during
the last four years, and these are mostly
such as have large cities in them-thus
showing precisely the same tendency from
rural to urban districts which has been going
on in this country during the last dozen
wears. Of the $4,000 600 Frenchmen, there
are no fewer than Is, 100000 returned as
living actually in the country, while over
$4,000, 900 or rather more than onehalf of
the population, are dependent on agriculture
"a predominance of the rural element quite
different from what most persons have i'm
agined,. and the other statistics coincide, as
for instance: 100000 horses, 100000
mules. 100000 asses, IL 900 600 cattle, 25,.
900 900 sheep, and 5000, 900 swine.
These figures are sufficient to show that
France still has all the material resources
for holding her place among the foremost
nationalities. If her census shows any
weakness it is in her educational department,
for we see that 100000 of her people
whether including infants or not is not stated
can neither read nor write, while nearly
100000 more can only read. We have
recently given the main statistics of Great
Britain and the United States, and need not
repeat them in this connection. Already
our population exceeds that of our rivals,
being nearly $4,000 900 to &c 100000 in
France and 100000 in the United King.

progress outshines both in an immensely
greater ratio-our principal drawback in this
particular arising from immigrants from the
Old World. Their children, however, take

Look to YOUR Cellars.

Knowing as l do the danger families are
often in from unwholesome cellars, | have a
number of times before written word of
warning, and that Gas suggestion l would
now repeat. Any one who has not given at
tention to the subject would be surprised to
know of the fearful results that often come
from i'll ventilated and impure cellars. Ty-
phoid fever, dysentery, and other diseases
have been traced to them with absolute GER
tainty. Scores of families have been broken
up by death from this cause. and scores have
been called to suffer long, distressing and
dangerous sickness because of an invisible
poison that has been generated in their own
cellar. Any physician of experience will
without hesitation testify to the danger that
turks here. While I am writing, five in a
family not far away are low with typhoid
fever from some local cause, which probably
a close attention on their part might have
kept away. A damp, wet cellar is always
an unhealthy one, especially if it has not free
ventilation and is not kept clean. In such
cellars nearly always vegetable matter is de-
caying, and this is fruitful source of dis
ease. Even dry and well ventilated cellar
should be we'll looked after, especially as
spring opens. All decaying matter should
be removed, and some of this can always be
found. Attend to the work and do it thor
oughly, and then if sickness comes upon
yourself or your children, you will not have

From the Missionary.
Letter from Rev. JnO. Boyle.
PERNAMBUoo, BRAZIL, March 81, IA.

PERNAMBUCo, Brazil, March 81, IA.
If there was any consistency in these peo-
pie we would feel much encouraged by the
attendance at the night services of late
We feel glad however, to have persons drop
in, if only once, or for few times, since
something may be said at such times which
the Spirit may use to interest and awaken
even the casual hearer. For some weeks
past, several young gentlemen have been at.
tending the night services, and are evidently
interested. They have Bibles and have been
reading them. One of them is professor
who lost one position because he taught his
pupils to disbelieve some of Rome's dogmas.
This one is more deeply interested than any
of the others in the truths which concern the
salvation of souls. Another is bachelor
of Law and comes forward at the close and
takes the lead in conversation, though Cy-
riaeo thinks he is interested on these sub
jects more because they are against the
teaching of Rome and are, therefore, contro-
versial. We aim however, to present the
simple truth as found in the Bible, and say
nothing of dogmas of Rome, except casually
when we can scarcely avoid it. There is
another one who is more quiet, and seems to
make it his business to bring others out
Besides these three who seem to be COM
panions, there are several others whom they
bring with them and who are reserved and
seem to hold back. They are intelligent
young men, and we can but pray that the
Lord will bless the truths which they hear to
their salvation. Then there are several
others who come in now and then. Last
Sabbath night we had more out, l believe,

The mistaken Rock.

Seasons of greatly increased mental &C
tivity are almost invariably accompanied by
bold, rash, and weakly sus aimed forms of I'M
belief. If it be so in CHS day of wonderful
scientific and material progress, it need not
surprise or alarm u.s. The sudden spread of
Christianity in the fourth century saw bitter
controversies as to the nature of the person
of Christ and the Arian heresy. In the
thirteenth century, when the brutaliSm and
stolidity of the dark ages began to yield to
an intellectual revival, the scholars of the
Christian Church sought to prove that the
Scriptures could be made TO agree with the
philosophy of Aristotle, under the conviction
that if they conaicted, the learned would for
sake the Scriptures for the teachings of the
philosopher. The intense life of the six
teenth ce0tuary was similarly marked by
heresies and infdelities. But the heresies
and philosophers of the successive eras passed
away, leaving The Bible stronger than ever,
deeper than ever in the hearts of men. Let
US then look with assn -auce upon the present
dsshiugs of the waves against the rock
The rock will remain when the waves have
fallen back into the deep. Christianity has
seen the death and oblation of theories of
human device. 1t will still carry consols
ton, and breathe hope into the human heart,
when the philosophers of this age shall be
things of the past-known only in history.

The Mausoleum of Thorwaldsen.

In Copenhagen, nearly in the centre of
the city, You will find large, very singular
looking building, painted yellow with some
black frescoing, with fiat roof, and no
arches or columns or ornaments of any kind.
1t looks exactly like box. Yet its outlines
are so delicate and SO noble in their utter
simplicity, that it cannot be common ware
room box;4it muStfbe shrine. And the
monotony, the gravity and mourning of this
shrine are so sublime, so grand, 80 trium-
plant, that it cannot be common tomb ;
it must be mausoleum. And so it is. 1t
is the only mausoleum in the world. The
day it was finished all other Sepulchral mon
uments became mute, inadequate to the pur-
pose, and comparatively insignificant. In
the court is Albert Thorwaldsen buried un'
der rose bush, and the four wings Of the
building comprise the court and open into
it through number of large gates, there
by making the court the greatest hall in
the building, containing all his works and
nothing else. Each group has hall, each
statue room of its own, where the resplen-
dent marble stands in the background, set
off by wall of a calm, mild color, and food
ed by the light from the opposite window.
The long corridors contain different cast of
the different statues, busts, baSS-reliefs, and
sketches, and through these halls crowds of
people tbrong every day, looking, gazing,
and admiring, their souls bending toward the
beauty as the leaves Of plant turn against
the sun. But is there any other mauSoleum
in the world in which the hero's deeds stand
on his grave, not written in verses or pic
tured in symbols, but in living presence,
speaking to mankind in the same manner
and with the same effect as the day they
were done, perpetual challenge to all that
is mean and foul, and an eternal source of
nobleness and beauty? There is nome

bitter reflections because of your careless
ness A matter so fruitful of evil, and one
that can be attended to in so short time,
and with so little expense, should not be
neglected. Attend to itearly, before the hurry
of spring work, but the better way is to be
always attending to it as there is need. A
clean, sweet cellar is not only healthy, but how
much better it is for the butter, and the milk,
and the meat, and for everything kept in it
This will also suggest the Importance of see
ing to everything about the house that Is

are as nothing compared with the benefit re-
ceived.- Ohio Farmer.

Letters Without Words.


When NJ de Per8igny was French Minis
ter of the Interior, he received a visit one
day from friend, who, on sending up his
name, was shown in the great man. sanctum.
A warm discussion arose between them
Suddenly an usher entered and handed the
minister note. On opening it, he at once
changed his tone of voice, and assumed a
quiet and urbane manner. Puzzled as to
the contents of the note, and by the marked
effect it had suddenly produced upon the
minister, his friend cast furtive glance at
it. when, to his establishment, he perceived
that it was simply plain sheet of paper,
without scratch upon it More puzzled
than ever, the gentleman, after few min
utes, took his leave, and proceeded to inter
rogate the usher, to whom he was well known,
for he himself had been minister of the int
rior. "You have, said he, "just handed
to the minister a note, folded up, which had
a most extraordinary effect upon him. Now,
it was plain sheet of paper, with nothing
written upon it. What did it mean p
s. Sir, :" replied the usher, here is the ex-
PLANTATION, which must beg you to keep Sc
cret, for do not wish to compromise myself.
My master is very warm, and very liable to
lose his temper As he himself is aware of
his weakness, he has ordered me, each time
that his voice is raised sufficiently to be audi
Bile in the snti-room, without delay to place
sheet of paper in an envelope and take it to
him. That reminds him that his temper is
getting the better of him, and he at once
Gains himself. Just now l heard his voice
ringing, and Immediately carried out my in
struction. "
