The 'sHousekeeper" of Our Health.

The liver is the great depurating or blood

the system. For this purpose DR.. Pierce's

THE BEES ANNUAL VISIT.
Curious Incident In New Haven-Re-
miniscence of Former Sweets.

curious Incident I'm New Haven-ke
miniscence of Former Sweets.
The New Haven Journal prints this
story: ct is quite easy for any
Chapel street merchant to verify the
truth of the following interesting state
ment concerning strange annual visi
tatlon of honey bees to the store III
Streets building, which for the last
thirty years has been occupied by DR..
9: B. Whlttlesey, the well-known
wholesale and retail druggist. Every
year since the store has been occupied
by its present tenant, at about this sea-
son, it has been regularly visited each
pleasant day by hundreds of busy bees,
which fly in and out, apparently on
some errand or quest not to be &C
counted for by any circumstance or
condition Of the premises They never
sting any of the clerks Or customers,
but buzz among the boxes and packages
and tumble and hum against the show
cases and great bottles on the shelves,
going from one end of the establish
'ment to the other with an apparent
earnestness borrowed from their sense
of toll amid happy clover haunts, or
where flowers of fragrance and sweet
ness blossom for the especial benefit of
bees. These not altog Their unwelcome
visitors from some unknown and proba-
bly, distant hive are not enticed to this
place by sweets, because there are
no drippings of translucent syrups
tinct with cinnamon or other delecta-
BILE commodity upon which they can
feed, or which they can carry away.
Some Of the bees make their call with
out ever returning to their home. They
wander on uncertain wings up and
down the store, in and out of the open
door, as though their mission were to
see Rome and die for they grow
weary after a day or two, and appear
to fail in strength until they perish.
Every week the young men, gather as
many dead bees from the counters and
shelves as could not be contained with
in the bulk of a double handful There
has always been more Or less specula-
ton as to where the bees. have their
home, and what occult motive brings
them every year, like faithful pilgrims,
to this particular repository of pot
ashes, chloride of lime, and other in
fragrant chemicals, dye-woods and
things Of the kind. But one solution
of the mystery has as yet been offered.
1t appears that before DIR. Whittlesey
became the occupant of the place of
business, it had for proprietor DR.. Rich
ard seagrave, who, as a part of his
retail business, dispensed the refreshing
and palatable soda water to the bellies
and beaus Of the city 1t is assumed
that in those days-more than quar-
ter of century ago-some pioneer
family of bees discovered the sweets
cllnging to the necks of DR.. Seagrave's
syrup bottles and rejoiced themselves
therein; and that from these days and
that circumstance spring these annual
visits. May we not reasonably believe,
then, not only that bees have memory,
but that they cherish historical recol-
lections with fervent bee gratitude for
delights in which their forefathers were
permitted to indulge, and for favorite
feed, upon which no bee succeeding
them shall feed in future"

ThurlOw Weed and Vanderbilt.

Burleigh writes to the Boston Journal:
One of the busiest men in New York is
Thurlow Weed. He has the papers
read to him every morning, and he
keeps the run of the public outlook as
he did in his prime when he was at
the head of the Albany Journal. He is
all about town. He leaves his house
at nine in the morning and comes in
to lunch. He is in at five, and can be
found at the public haunts in the even
ing. He is a great friend OF the Com
modore, and, except the doctor, is
about the only man who has the free
dom of Vanderbilt's house. Living or
dying, Vanderbilt has got through. His
death would simply induce decent
adjournm ent for the funeral. 4 year
ago the withdrawal of Vanderbilt and
Drew would have shaken the continent.
Their removal from the street has been
discounted, and the ease with which
they are both laid aside show how lit
tie individual influence any one man
has in this great money center. AS
long as man can hurt somebody or
help somebody he is of some account,
but if sick or poor he is nowhere. The
present magnates will be dethroned in
time, or Wall street is false to her his
tory. -
