Gathering Honey ard Pollen.

THE honey is taken from the flowers by
the bees, and on their way LONE it is pass
ing through a churning process, and
churned I he body of tie bee is put to-
gether in three sections, OF bands, and I'M
derneath the two front bands on each side
there is an outlet, or small hole, where the
butter oozes out after being churned. This
butter l. pure white wax II is received
by other bees and placed in the comb, or
cell, and by the mouth OF the bee il is
pressed out in its proper thickness and the
balance which, to carry out
our smile, we may call buttermilk is
thrown up by the bees into the cells, and
the longer ii remains there the sweeter il
gets, as it extracts the sweetness or the vir-
tue from the comb, bringing back the body
of the sweets which is contained in It's
first gathering from the flowers; one pound
IN the comb three years old has as much
medical virtue as three pounds one year
old
Besides the honey there is the pollen,
which IS OF more benefit to the bees than
the honey. After il IS deposited in the
comb it is called bee bread, az it is their
principal living in the winter and their
young iced on il altogether until they are
ready to work.
The pollen is gathered in this wise: The
back OF the bee is covered with fine
wool, or hair, and on entering the flowers
the pollen sticks to it, and when necessary
To release it, it is combed Dat The bee
has six legs, three on each side, and the
middle one on either side has comb on
the under side, from the forked to the first
Joint As this can reach only half way
across the back, it is combed from both
sides and the pollen is taken from the
comb by the two fore-feei. 1t is then fat

The Way to Make Rack For Sheep.

A rack for holding the fodder of sheep
should be so constructed that chaif AMI
hay seed cannot fall into the wool. Here
with is copied from the Practical Farmer
New York City, a description of a COM
bined fodder rack and manager:
The best style Of rack and manger that
we have ever seen was made several years
ago for our own sheep. The rack stood
on one side Of the sheep shed, SO that
when feeding hay, cut corn stalks, roots
or grain, it could be done by passing
along in the narrow alley between the
long rack and the side of the shed while
the sheep were all on the other side. We
first procured small, straight tree about
forty feet in length, which was hewed
straight on both sides--namely, on the
upper side and the side toward the sheep.
six legs were then inserted in this piece
of timber, so that it would stand firm like
a sawhorse. Next, holes were bored in
the upper side of this timber with an inch
augur three inches apart from centres,
after which Stats of hard timber, one inch
square and two feet long, were inserted
in the holes, and a rave was driven on the
upper ends of the Stats. The Stats stood
perpen.icularly, so that hay seed and

necks of sheep. On the opposite side
from the sheep an inclined bottom was
made, standing at an angle of about forty
five degrees. The bottom was made suf-
ticiently tight to prevent oats and meal
dropping through the cracks. When hay
was put into this rack sheep could draw il
between the stats, little at once, as they
wanted feed. A tight board manager was
then made on the side where the sheep
stood, the top of which was an inch OF
two below the lower ends of the Stats
This manger was made like the letter Y,
having the upper edge of the inside board
nailed firmly TO the timber When feed.
ing grain person could move along the
entire rack and distribute the grain Oh
roots, evenly and quickly, without being
disturbed by the rush of the flock before
him@ Beneath this mangcr strong wooden
pins were driven into the main timber
about four feet apart, to support the man
ger when sheep might be IN it with theii
forward feet A N-shapcd manager Is
best, because sheep and lambs cannot
stand erect in it.

Rheumatism . symptom Of other Dis.

The alarming extent of chronic rheuma-
tism in the country has led to persistent in
vestigation. 1t has lately been ascertained
that the disease is the result Of other COM
plicatcd diseases of the liver kidneys, pan
creas, blood, absorbents, etc. In other
words, that rheumatism is a symptom. It is
also found that, by the removal of the com
plcated disease. the rheumatism disappears,
as a result which seems to substantiate
the theory. We all know, to our sorrow,
how fruitess the ordinary treatment of this
disease has been, and we now hail with JOY
the dawn OF this new discovery. We all
know that the symptoms Of these diseases
are generally present in cases OF chronic
rheumatism, but few have supposed the
disease to be an effect.
To remove these diseases the surest rem
edy can be found in the SHAKER EXTRACT
OF RooTs OR CURATIVE SYRUP; it appears
to be working many cures. We refer to
the article sold by Druggists and A. j.

How a Girl Got Into the Harem.

A few years ago an Englishw oman,
named Tompkins, who kept a shop at
Pera, summoned from England, to aid
her in her business, a young niece, who
proved to be extremely pretty and no
less intelligent. Soon after her arrival
she took it into her head to study Turk
ish, representing to her aunt that such
knowledge would be of great advantage
to their trade, as the Turkish ladies
would naturally prefer to make their
purchases where they could be under
stood without the aid of an interpreter.
AS the young girl was at once clever,
ambitious and industrious she soon sue
ceeded in acquiring the language, and
numbers of the female members of the
noblest Turkish families came to the
English shop. One day the pretty
niece went to the harem of Prince
Murad to take home some article or
dered by his principal wife. She never
returned, and when her aunt sent in
search of her she received cool mes
sage of farewell from the young lady
herself, who had become the fourth
wife of the heir to the throne, who is
the present Sultan.

Lonely Voyage.

Myer Gershon, who has been on WIS.,
it to London, returned by the steamer
Greece. He reports that in midocean,
the watch at the bow reported to the
Captain that he deserted ahead what
seemed to be a part of wreck. As it
neared the ship the object was discov-
cred to be a small skiff, and in the
darkness the figure of one man was
deserted. The Captain Immediately
gave orders to stop the engines, and to
get the ropes ready to pull the man on
board. The sea was running high.
The skiff came quite near to the ship,
appearing and disappearing at intervals
-tlow on the top of an immense wave
level with the deck of the vessel, the
next minute hidden from sight in the
pillows. The Captain, calling to know
who was in the boat, was answered in
strong German accent: s'I am Jack
Andrews, from Gloucester, Mass" He
told further that he was bound to Liver
pool; that his skiff was named Seen
tennial," and that he had been Out fif-
teen days. He then asked the Captain
to compare reckonings. His was long.
46, lat. 80; the Captains was the same.
Andrews informed the Captain that he
slept by day, and before going to sleep
he took in his rudder and took down all
sails; during sleep his craft drifted with
the waves. He was awake at nights.
The Captain made final appeal to
him to come on board, stating that
if he refused he would probably regret
it when the vessel was out of his reach
To this Andrews emphatically answered
"No, sir; good night" and throwing
his sails to the wind was soon lost to
sight. Andrews sits in the centre of
his boat with the lamp burning before
him, exposing the dial of what seemed
to be compass. The deck afore and
aft is covered with canvass, under
which, besides the compass and lamp,
were several barrels, containing, no
doubt, provisions, water, &c. Moth
ing has been heard of Andrews since
that niDht.

GOING INTO A DECLINE.

How often we hear this expression about
people who have some disease that few med
zeal men seem to understand. Some call it
liver complaint. some kidney disease, some
dyspepsia. and others consumption. None
of them afford relief. In the course OF the
disease the patients have the following
symptoms-A tired, weak feeling, dizziness
in the head, with faint, all gone sensation
at the pit of the stomach, after eating feel
ing like heavy load on the stomach, pain
in the shoulders, sides, and back at times,
scanty, high colored urine, depositing sed-
iment after standing, skin dark and swarthy,
covered in places with brown spots, hands
and feet cold and clammy at times, at other
times hot and burning; sometimes there is
an itching over the whole body, appetite
changeable, but food fdistresses and affords
but little nourishment; bowels irregular,
after a time a cough sets in, at first dry, but
after awhile it is attended with eXpectOra-
ton. and the body begins to waste. The
truth is that in such cases the liver, stom.
ach, kidneys and blood are all diseased, and
for this combination of diseases we must adj
minister a remedy that will act upon all OF
these organs at one time, or else, while one
is being cured the others become worse.
The best article to meet such cases is the
SHAKER EXTRACT OF Roofs mot patent
medicine). This article generally removes
the disease. The article we mean is sold by

Interesting to Poor Men.

A consideration of the cost of high
life has its destinations even for the
poor in purse. We find in the New
York Times an intelligent discussion of
the subject. The writer of the article
maintains that it is all but impossible
for the wealthiest Americans to spend
more than 100000 per annum, while
in England nobleman often lays out
for similar purposes five times as much.
The difference is due partly to the large
hunting establishments which are sus-
tanned in the latter country, and partly
to the greater extent to which visitors
are entertained by the owners of large
estates. 1t is common enough in Eng
land for twenty to sit down to dinner
for months together, and hundred
mouths are fed daily. In this
country, on the other hand, the
practice of entertaining is pursued only
on a limited scale. The household ex-
pc nses of a millionaire American are
estimated as follows: Interest on the
purchase money of a house in New
York, country residence, and villa
at Newport, S23, 200; yacht, S20,oo0i

The Trial of a Cornet Player.

The trial of an amateur cornet player
named Montrose, on a charge of dis
turbing the public peace, is reported in
the Virginia City Tribune. Mrs. John
son, his landlady, testified that when he
came to her house it was full of board
ers, but that many of them left at the
end of a week because they had not
slept well. A boarder swore that Mont
rose played at all hours of the night,
that he couldn't play more than three
consecutive notes without stopping to
take breath, and that his performance
was of nature sufficiently excruciating
to drive an ordinary man insane. A
man who lived two blocks away testified
that he had once got out of bed, sup
posing that the noise was made by cow
that he had lost few days before. A
second boarder didn't like the music,
and had frequently gone up in the can
yon and laid down in an old tunnel to get
some sleep. He was of the opinion that
a man living in the next block
would have no grounds for COM
plant provided he stuffed enough cotton
in his ears to shut out the sound. How
much cotton would be necessary to &C
complish that resultP" the prosecuting
attorney asked. 81 think an ordinary
bale of New Orleans cotton, XX prime,
might last man two wecks-if his ears
were large, like yours, it might take
more" was the reply. An old man put
on the stand for the defense said that
the sound of the cornet lulled him to
sleep. In cross-examination, however,
the opposing lawyer whistled, "Beauti-
full Blue Danube" and the witness
swore on oath that in his opinion it was
yankee DOODLE The only other
witness for Montrose had never been
disturbed by the cornet, although he
slept in the next room; but the fact
came out that he was too deaf to hear
any thing fainter than steam whistle.
Montrose was fined $40.
