FOoD, Work, AND SLEEP.-The things
that man most needs in this world are food
work, and sleep. lie doesn't need riches,
honors, or Office to live. lie needs society
because he is made for it. lie must love
and be loved his life and happiness are
promoted by companionship mutual depend.
ence and counsel enlarge hope aud stimulate
courage. Yet after all he lives If his friends
die. There is no grief, no form of bereavo-
ment, but it has its consolation. Tho best
preserver Of mans life is contentment.
Nor is work destructive of strength. Men
look forward to rest to life of ease, which
to them means cessation from toll and from
tho cares of business. They mistake the
cause Of weariness it is not work it is
care, it is oVer-exertiOn, it is ambition and
desire after gain that bring worn and weary
feelings. All we possess, We possess 10 life
The sooner we get through life, the sooner
we relinquish our possession. The faster a
man lives the quicker he reaches the end of
life. There are three ends TO life, and death
is the last aud least desirable Of them. One
end is to live. That is why we were created
to live, and live as long aud well as we
can. Some 60 murmuring aud grOaning on
their way, as though life was burden, and
that it is pety to put low estimate on it..
The opposite is true. A man should seek to
live out all his days, and he cannot accom-
plish it in better way than by using every
means to promote life. Among these means
are the three things mentioned at the head
of this article. When man denies himself
sleep, food and the exercise work gives,
brain and body work, he robs his life of his
full term. Let him be cheerful also. He
is like an englne--it will run we'll and long
if it is well oiled Contentment and cheer
fulness are the oil which keep the nerves
from wearing out. Busy men and women
think that time taken from toll for sleep aud
recreation is time lost. 1t is really the
cement put in to ill up the joints, to keep
out the weather, and preserve the building

PARASITES ON BEEs.-The Rural World
reports that at the last meeting of the St.
Louis Academy of Sciences, Prof. q. V.
Riley, the president, read communication
from G.. w. Barnes of San Diego, Cal, ia
relation to parasites found upon bees in that
state. The parasite was described as the
color Of faxseed and easily distinguished
by the naked eye. 1t appears usually under
the wing of the bee, and adheres with con-
siderable tenacity. 1t occasionally crawls
all over the bee, and is quite agile in its
movements. The bees afflicted with the
vormin become agitated and move rapidly over
the comb, frequently dying of their injuries
The parasites were first noticed there last
year, and have again appeared this season,
giving considerable trouble in large apiaries.
Specimens Of the insects afflicted acoompa-
MED the letter, and Prof. Riley said the par
aste was the larva of the blister beetle. 1t
was we'll known that these larva attach thcm
selves to bees and were thus carried into the
hive, where they usually left the grown bee
and attacked the larva. Prof. Riley had not
before heard that these insects injured the
fully developed bees. The information was
valuable il reliable.
