HOney:Bees and Music.

1t has often been asserted that insect
40 not hear, upon no better foundation
than that entOmOlogists have been some
what at loss to find organs which CORES
pond to ears in other and larger animals
The following from the London Ne,cs
mas direct bearing upon the subject and
seems To point to an affirmative answer Ia
the question:
The question whether bees have the
power OF hearing is mooted point
among naturalists. Sir John Lubbock
has tried experiments with his bees in
order to elucidate the matter. Thus he
has played the violin close 10 his bees. he
has tried a dog whistle, shrill pipe. a
tuning fork, and shouting, but no noise
seemed to disturb them in the least.
Nevertheless, curious occurrence took
place few days since at Windsor.
Colonel Stewart, commanding officer
Second Life Guards, reports that few
days since, when the regiment was re.
turning down the Long Wall from field
day, swarm of bees, attracted by the
music, followed the regiment into bar
ricks, flying about over the heads of the
band. On arriving al. the barrack-yard
the band formed up oplay the regiment
into barracks; the bees followed their ex-
ample, formed up also and settled on a |
pranch of tree over the heads of the |
Dandmen. They were at once taken
prisoners by the corporal of the guard,
al, ana are now hived in the barrack. yard.
Inc distance over which the bees fol-
lowed the baud was more than a mile.
w 9 nave heard of spelling bees, but these
are m usical bees with vengeance. It is
PC common h practice in the country to col.
lect bees by means of rattling a warming
pan with a piece of iron, or sbakinc =

Useful Information.

Rural NeW Yorker: We have heard
from several persons, all living in the
same district-One in which fever and
ague prevails-that nutmegs, from three
to six, according to the age of the indi-
vidual, strung about the neck so as to
rest upon the stomach, are used as a pro-
lection against this insidious vile disease.
LAUGH at cheese diet as you will,
Prof. Peck says that in this country.
where cheese is used least, it req uires one
physician to every five hundred persons,
and in Switzerland and foreign coun.
tries, where it is used most, it only re.
quires the practice of one physician for
ten thousand persons.
A NEIGHBoR of mine (says a correspon-
dent ofthe Rurat Home) recently informed
me that he had lost most valuable
horse by casualty by no means uncom-
mon. A knowledge of simple remedy
would have prevented this loss. The
horse trod upon nail which entered his
foot. Lameness followed, the nail was
extracted, but lockjaw supervened, re-
sulting in death. An upfailing remedy
in such cases is muriatic acid. If. when
nail is withdrawn from horses foot.
the foot should be held up and some
muriatic acid be poured into the wound,
neither lamessss nor lockjaw need be
feared. Why the iron should have the
effect which it free aently has, and the
rationale of the above remedy, am nm
able to explain but of the certainty of
the conuteraction of disease by this per.

This ration would probably give
better result for butter or milk than tn G
previous formula would give for beef
But that is not saying much.
these three samples of feeding are
from three different countries. But it il
very doubtful whether the margin of
profit will be found satisfactory in tho
case of either. And vet il is evident
that in each case the formula might he
so modified as to improve the result, by
making it more profitable.
This point is worth examining, for it
Is very certain there is no question in
agriculture more vital and important
than the question of feeding for profit.
PARASITES ON BEEs.-The Rural
World reports that at the last meeting
OF the st. Louis Academy of Sciences
Professor @. v. Riley, the President
read communication from q. w
Barnes, of San Diego, California, in rela.
ton to parasites found upon the bees in
that State. The parasite was described
as the color of haxseed, and easily dis
tinguished by the naked eye. 1t appears
usually under the wing of the bee. and
adheres with considerable tenacity. II
occasionally crawls all over the bee, and
is quite agile in its movements. The
bees afflicted with the vermin become
agitated and move rapidly over the
comb, frequently dying of 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 accompanied the letter. and
Professor Riley said the parasite was the
arva of the blister beetle. It was well
Known that these larva attach them
elves TO bees and were thus carried into
he hive, where they usually left the
,rown bee and attacked the larva. Pro-
essor Riley had not before heard that !
hese insects injured the fully developed '
ees; The information was valuable, il

BISHOP POTTER, of the Episcopal
Diocese of New York, in recent ser.
mon, enlarged upon the evils of the pew
system, which, he said, is an increasing
usage in this country and vanishing
usage in England. The Methodists, he
thought, were generally adopting the
pew system in cities, and in many Of the
Roman Catholic churches pews were let
and subject to two or three series of
tenants. He regards it as noteworthy
that all the Episcopal churches in Min
nesOta are free.

PLAIN CAKE FOR CHILDREN.-When
making bread reserve enough dough to
MI a quart basin; add to the dough one
egg, piece of butter size of an egg, one
malt cup of either English currants
chopped raisins, or dried whortleberries.
MIX the whole thoroughly with the
hands, adding enough flour to prevent
its sticking to the hands. Mold it as

basin to rise. When it is level with the
top OF the pan it should be baked like a
loaf of bread. The above NAV he wa.
ried by adding more sugar, and caraway
seeds instead of fruit, when the dough
should be rolled out and cut as for cook
les, set to rise in warm place for half
an hour, and then bake.
PEACH TAPIoCA.-Soak half pint of
tapioca in half pint of cold water for
several hours or over night. Fill a
baking-dish half full of nice canned
peaches, leaving out the syrup. Sprinkle
sugar over the peaches, to suit the taste,
and bake half an hour. Add half pint
OF the peach syrup to the tapioca, as much
boiling water as is needed to thin it,
and half teacup of sugar. Boil this
TILL perfectly clear, then pour over the
peaches, and bake slowly for another
half hour. When cold serve with sugar
and rich cream.

The Farming Glasses In Greece.

Agriculture is depressed In Greece. A
French traveller says: The Greeks assert
that they were not born for agriculture,
and l am afraid they are right. The
Greek finds himself in the right place at
the door of a shop or on the deck of a
vessel. Greeks who cultivate the ground
feel themselves Inundated. Despite the
efforts of the Government the people
will not turn to their rich soil. The
farming classes live poorly. They have
good mules, small, swift, and hardy
horses; small and thin, but well-shaped
cattle, and quantities of sheep and goats,
whose milk they drink. It costs two
hundred dollars to establish a flock of
one hundred sheep, which then Yields
about one hundred dollars year. Cab
bages and onions are the staple garden
vegetables. Apples, pears, and cherries
are Dad lemons, oranges, and olives
good. The soil is for the most part verv
fertile. Although not q tenth of the
country is under cultivation, yery few
farmers have more than a couple of
acres, and three or four persons often
have claims upon different crops on the
same farm, the olives belonging to one,
the beans to another, and so on. The
farmers have no ambition, and only care
just to live. One-fourth of the year is de-
voted to holidays.
