Killed by the Sting Of a Bee.

A distressing event occurred at Lyd-
ney on Friday week, and was the sub
ject of Cororer's inquiry on the follow
ing day, viz, the dealh OF Henry Lark
ham, Sen., retired farmer, from the
sting of bee. 1t appeared from the
evidence given before Mr.. NJ. f. Carter,
Divisional Coroner, that Mt about Al
o'clock on the day named Mr.. Larkham
was in his sons garden, and, on passing
in front of the beehives, received sting
upon the temple. The old gentleman at
once returned to the house, and asked q
young man named Lloyd to fetch the
blue bag, which was done, and the liquid
blue was applied. Lloyd likewise, at the
request of Mr.. Larkham, took an egg
from his pocket which he had gathered
from nest. Upon sitting down in the
yard, Mr.. I4arkham tainted, and was
bathed with vinegar and water. This,
however, proved powerless restorative,
death supervening within quarter of an
hour after the sting. DIR. Gimblett was
called ut the inquiry, and stated that he
had been sent for, but deceased died be-
fore he could reach the house. He had
since examined the body, and found a
wound upon the right temple inflicted
by bee. This it was which caused
death. Upon this testimony the jury re-
turned their verdict. = CarCiiF { JIaie

White.HOuse Whitewash.

The following recipe, which is fire.
quently inquired after, is given for the
famous whitewash with which the Pres
ideutial mansion is adorned
Take one-half bushel of nice unslacked
lime, slack it with boiling water; cover
it during the process TO keep in the
steam Strain the liquid through a fine
sieve or strainer, and add to it peck OF
salt, previously dissolved in warm water;
three pounds of ground rice boiled to n
thin paste; one-half pound Spanish whit
ing and one pound of clean glue which
has been previously dissolved by soak
ing it well, and then hang it over q slow
fire in small kettle within larger one
filled with water. Add five gallons of
hot water to the mixture, stir it well and
let it stand few days covered from dust.
1t should be put on hot, and for this
purpose it can be kept in kettle on a
portable furnace. About a pint OF this
mixture will cover yard upon the out
side of house, if properly applied.
Fine or coarse brushes may be used ac-
cording to the neatness of the job re-
quired IL answers as well as oil paint
for wood, brick or stone, and is cheaper.
1t retains its brilliancy for many years.
There is nothing of the kind that will
compare with it, either for inside or out
side work. Coloring matter may be
added of any shade desirable except
green, for which there is no material
that can be used with lime. Spanish
brown will make reddish pink when
stirred in, more or less deep according
to quantity. A delicate tinge of this is
very pretty for inside walls. Finely
pulverized common clay, well mixed
with Spanish brown, makes a reddish
stone color; yellow ochre stirred in
makes yellowish wash, but chrome
goes further, and makes n color general
ly esteemed prettier. 1t is best to try
experiments on single and let IL dry.

About the House.

How TO USE LARD.-Lard for pastry
may be used as hard as it can be cut with
a knife, and will make far better paste
than if let stand to warm. 1t needs only
to be cut through the -four, not rubbed.
Poor MANS CAKE.-One cupful of
molasses, one of water, tablespoonful
butter, tablespoonful ginger, one heap
ing teaspoonful saleratus, little salt,
-four enough for soft batter. Put in
square pan; bake quickly.
For FRUIT TREES OR LARGE PLANTS. -
Boil one tablespoonful of borax in one
pint of water, and, while warm, paint
the stems of fruit trees or plants. This
will destroy the green fungi, and prevent
insect life from forming in the bark; it
will also make the trees healthy.
To TAKE MmDEw OUT OF LINEN.-Mix
soft soap, fine starch and lemon juice to
a paste, using equal parts. Spread it
thickly on both sides of the cloth and
lay on the grass, day and night, till the
the spots disappear. This does not make
the fabric tender, as many patent pre-
parations for the purpose do.
To DIsINFEoT RooMs.-The disinfec-
ton of room is not complete unless the
walls have been thoroughly cleansed.
IL they are papered, the paper must be
removed and the surface beneath care
fully scraped and washed. If the walls
are painted, they should be washed with
caustic soda. The ceiling should also be
subje cted to a similar treatment.-Sci-
entifc american.
MAKING HAIR GRow.-If the head be
perfectly bald, nothing will ever cause
the hair to grow again. If the scalp be
glossy, and no small hairs are discern,
BILE. the roots or follicles are dead /; and
YOU might as well cause an arm which
has been amputated to grow again. How
ever, if small hairs are to be seen, there
is hope. Use the following every day

French Chickens.

1t is probable that few persons out of
France are aware Of the extent of what
may be termed the poultry industry"
of that country. According to statistics
given by one of the French papers,
France supports at the present time no
fewer than 40, 900, 900 hens, representing,
at an estimated average of 2 francs so
centimes each. 100, 0O0,0O francs $780,
OOO,OOO These 1900, 900 hens give
birth annually to 100,000,000 chickens,
Of which it is found expedient to put
aside 100000 each year for product
purposes. Accidents and disease again
reduce the number OF chickens destined
for consumption to $4,000, 900, which,
putting their average value at l franc so
confines apiece, may be estimated as
worth 100, 900, 900 francs 1924, 900, 000).
To these figures must be added the further
value due to capons and fat pullets,
which may be stated as 5000, 600 francs.

iMourning mUfrance..

AS regards mourning, the French are
far more sensible than ara we. 4 The
rules of bowed shutters, md Of wool
and Grape habiliments of the hue OF outer
darkness, donned for an indefinite length
of time, would appear absurd to thispe
culiarly intelligent nation. Their rules
on this head are extremely precise, each
shade and style of mourning being
severely regulated. A widow must wear
mourning for two years. She must wear
black wooden stuffs, with collars, cuffs
and veil of Grape, for one year; she must
not creper or frizz her hair, and she must
wear a cap in the house during that
period. At the end of one year she can
wear black silk trimmed with black lace |;
this not very oppressive costume Is de
rig,teur for six months. During the
following six months, all shades of violet,
gray and lilac, are permissible, after
which, her two years mourning having
expired, she can dress as she pleases.
The mourning for a parent or child is
to be worn for one year six months OF
Grape and bombazine, three months OF
black silk and lace, and three months OF
grays and puppies. For grand-parent
the rule is six months, and for a bro
ther or sister four months, the half
of which period only is to be passed in
black stutf and Grape. In deep mourn
ing it is not considered proper to wear
kid gloves, cloth gloves being considered
nor is any ornament, even
OF dulled Jet or of Berlin iron admissi-
BILE. When the head of family dies,
the servants are put i'll mourning as
well as the relatives. Each servant re-
ceives from the heirs two complete toll
lets, one for everyday wear and one for
Sundays. Children under II years OF
age are never put in mourning. Alb
stention from society or worldly pleas
ures is marked by the duration of the
deep mourning only; that is to say, for
one year after the death of a husband
or wife, six months after that of n
child or parent, etc. 1t might seem, to
our exaggerated American notions of
mourning formalities, from the above
rules that the French lacked affection
as signally i'll all relations of life as they
do in the marital one. Such, however,
is not the case. The tie between paren
and child is peculiarly close and
one among them. Not lack
of affection, but plenitude of sense,
has dictated the French regulations as
regards mourning. -ApptetOns' Jour
