The days work, IL long ride and brisk
skirmish, were over, the roll called and
all had answered to their names, the
horses picketed out on the rich grass
and the fires replenished so as to last
through the night.
All the fellows save Carson were smok-
ing, and he was busily engaged in clean
ing and oiling pair of handsomely
mounted pistols. siXshooters, that | had
seen him use that morning with terrible
effect.
There was q story connected with these
glittering weapons which the great scout
had promised to relate to us some day.
and as the opportunity was good one,
we put at him for it; and after some
little hesitation, for he always disliked
to speak of his own deeds. he began:

ing the country along the Virgin River.
and while so engaged. had been attacked
by a band of Chcmegnabas and driven
into the desert. with the loss of all their
camp fixtures and most of their arms.

AspAHAGUs.-The praises of aspara-
Gus come down to rs through the pages
of history. 1t was a dainty especially
prized by the ancient Greeks. Among
the ancient Romans, with whom the art OF
cooking was almost as sacred as priest
hood. asparagus was precious vegeta-
bic, and Apicius taught how to cook 1t
in his famous cooking books. Jnllus
Caesar loved it, and we may mention that
Napoleon I. and Napoleon IL. resemblcd
him in having the same love for 1t. One
of the domestic utensils unearthed mt
Pompcii is knife that was used for cut
ting asparagus plants, which IS IA model
for such knives to this day. The mode
of eating the cooked vegetable was that
of the present time; with the fingers,
which preceded forks in Roman table
furniture. In truth, this succulent
plant has had admirers through all gen
erations. Louis XIV, of France, fairly
dotted on it. and his favorite, Mdmc. de
Pom,mdour. invented mode of cooking
and serving il that still figures on the
menus of France as ''Asperges la Pom
padour." and is regarded as the most
precious legacy the lady left to her coun-
try. French memoirs mention that Eon-
tenelle, who lived nearly century, IN
his old ace retained his relish for aspar-
arus. He liked it served with oil, while
his friend. Cardinal Dubois, liked it
with sauce One day, when the Cardl-
nal was coming to dine with him, he or
dered one-half of the asparagus to he
served in oil and the other half III sauce.
Just before the dinner hour news came
of the sudden death OF the Cardinal.
Instantly Fontelle called out loudly to

And seek for violets in the messy glen,

In fancy turns again the dear old mill;
The trailing vines about the cottage windows
Are creeping still.

Nv mother sings beside the whirring Wheel
Ny brothers laughter and my sisters music
Upon me steal.
But 10, n change comes DER my mental vision,

What of that home. and all its precious inmates
Of earlier years?
The arms that swung the scytho within the meadow
For many years hay, been oersprcad with mold
III. hands that turned the wheel within the kitchen
Are still and cold!
The children that once played upon the greensward
And nightly gathered round the ngle side,
Are scattered here and there like leaves of Autumn
Both far and wide.
For strangers live to-day within tho cottage
And other feet walk up and down that hill;
The brook is all thats left A. twas in childhood,
But turns mill
Oh there's home whose brightness is eternal,
That knows no sorrow, feels no care or sin,
Their chilling death-that awful king Of terrors-

BEE KEEPERS COLUMN.
EDITED BY N. LEvERINo.
The Apiary.

The honey season has now fully
commenced, lhe black sage is prolific
with bloom and the bees have enlisted
for the season and are storing honey
with astonishing rapidity. The white
sage is beginning to unfold its bloom
and yield up its sweets. We have
noticed some in bloom at the Los An
geles Apiary. 1t will be about two
weeks earlier this season than usual,
and will produce vastly more honey.
Every colony should now oe well pre-.
pared for the work by having pro-
life queen, plenty of bees and plenty
of room to work. The instinct of bees
at this season is to rear all the brood
possible. This is peculiar character
istic of the Italian bee. Should the
apiarian wish to work for honey more
than bees, he should not allow the
swarm ng fever to break out in his
apiary, as 1T is no easy matter TO sub.
due it. This may be accomplished by
placing every day or two tor as fast
az filled) one or TWO frames of empty
comb between two brood combs, and
the one taken away placed in the up
per hive, which when full must be
emptied with the extractor and the
empty comb returned, or the hive
placed OH top of one containing empty
comb, closing all entrance except
through the empty comb below. In
this way the hive may be kept full Of
bees the entire season without much
danger of a queen cell being built.
Empty space does not seem to answer
the same purpose at all times. But
should the increase Of stock be the
only object, the top hive should be
left off and the bees confined to one
hive aud plenty of empty brood comb
given the queen as fast as she will ill
it with eggs. Should the workers en-
croach upon her domain by filling up
with honey, the extractor should be
used. AS fast as the hive becomes
filled with bees division should be
made. This should be done in the
middle of the day, when old as well as
young bees are out at work, and In
the manner we have directed in q for
mer article, by taking one or two
frames containing brood and stores
from hive until you have your new
hive half filled or more, filling up the
empty spaces with empty combs or
frames. Then exchange places with
a strong colony and ii possible give
them a queen cell. We might sug-
gest other methods of increasing, but
this We think the best. We have
often heard 1t said by practical apiari-
aus that the use of the extractor alone
would prevent swarming. Our expe-
rieDce teaches us that this is to great
extent incorrect
