Grapes as Bee Food.

a ; --s s
T Every farmer living ina fruit growing
district ahould keep few swarms Of
bees enough at least to furnish honey
for his own table. There is an abun.
dance of honey material in the flower
garden, in the meadow, in the orchard
and in the vineyard to support half a
dozen swarms of bees on. each farm in
the neighborhood But more especially
should they be kept in sectious where
the culture OF the vine is made speci-
Atty, for there can be no better honey
food than ripe grapes. tits true that
the honey bee has not been provided by
nature with any means of puncturing the
skin OF sound fruit. but there is always
more or less fruit with broken or cracked
skins, Sufficient for the bees to carry
away As far as any difficulty might be
concerned, q few lunches could be picked
each day and placed where the bees
could find them, the grapes first having
been bruised or the skin broken, FIRST
in the spring, would be tho wild and tame
flowers, then the fruit flowers, then the
ripe fruit, and finally, lasting until late il
the fall, the grape crop From this it is
easy, tvssee how the hives would be filel
with honey, and the pleasure of having
white comb honey for table use saying
nothing of what would be sold, woul,
more than repay the cost and trouble.

Pete Milestone and the Mail Boy.
Pete Milestone. Of Arkansas, was

Pete MILESTONE, of Arkansas, wa
once travelling on horseback througt
the interior of the sta G, aud called on
evening to stay all night at little los
cabin uear the road, where entertainment
and tile post-oflice were kept. Two 9th
or strangers were there. and the mail ride
rode up about dark. Supper being over
the mail carrier and the three strangers
were taken into small room, furnished
with good fire and two beds, which were
to accommodate the four persons for the
night, The mail carrier was little
shabby, dirty, hara-looking wretch, with
whom none Of the gentleman liked the
idea Of sleeping. Pete Milestone eyed
him closely as he asked:
"Where do you sleep tonight, my
lad?'
r.Pll thleep with you, reckin, lisp.
ed the youth, "or with them other fellers
l don't care which"
The other two gentlemen took the hint
and occupied one of the beds immed
ateiy, leaving the other and confab to be
enjoyed by Pete and the mil boy togetll-
er as best they could. Pete and the boy
both commenced hauling off their dnds,
and Pete getting into bed first and wish
ing to get rid OF sleeping with the boy,
remarked very earnestly:
"My friend, III tell you beforehand
I've got the itch, and you had better not
get in here with me, for the disease is
catching.
The boy who was just getting into bed
too, drawled out very cody:
"Wall, | reckin' that don't make bit
'iditierence---l've had it now for nearly
these theven years." and into the bed he
pitched along with Pete, who pitched out
in as great hurry as if he had walked
up hornets nest in the bed. The other
two gentlemen ,roared, and the mail boy,
vito had got peaceablc possession of a
bed to himself, drawled out" Why, you

The other two strangers were now III
worse predicament than Pete had been,
jumped out as il the bed had been on
lire, stripped, shook off their clothes, put
them in again, ordered their horses, and
though it was nearly ten O'Clock, they
all three rode several miles to the next
town before they slept, leaving the i'm
perturbable mail carrier to the bliss of
scratching and sleeping alone. The three
men vowed to keep the affair a secret but
it eventually leaked out.
