Bees 10 Open Eiyes.


Tho following question was asked al
tho .tweaty.fra.. convention Of German
.pd Austrian Bee Culturists: "lvhat
experiments have been made. since the
last convention, with colonies, Of bees
located in open air without hivcs'3"
After Herr Gushlsr had stated tho
results Of bis experiments with colonies
of bees, situated without hives in tho
opsu AIR, he. drow tho following conclu-
sions:
l. Tho lack Of hives has no influence
on tho. production and development .oi
brood.
2. Tie yield Of honey is not dinin-
ished.
8. There is no greater chance for
robbing, as tho .robtors are quickly
driven away.
Tho speaker dTel. upon tho .impor.
tancs Of this last point, because it indi.
Gated that ono ought not to make tho
entrances very narrow, and that when
robbipg has already commenced it
would bo advisable to turn tho hivo
ABOUT, in order to reuse ito whole col.
ony to action. But what 10 most in.
portant in practical way, 10 this:
4. Bees have no need Of water dur
ipg The wintor. Whcn they collect
water, or Etcu thoy search for it, is
when they fud themselves in an ab-
normal condition. They arc able to
preserve q medium and uniform tenn.
pers.rro during the winter, but the
hiye SHOULD be protected against damp
ness. DR., Driorzon considered tho ex.
periments Of Guohlor interesting and
important for practical boo culture; !;
not that one would be able practically,
to establish bis colonies in tho opon
air, without hives, but because tkeis
experiments prove that cold is not in-
furious to bees. Then one csu give
some ventilation norstantly.-Foreign

Cast Of Living Human Beings.

From Paris Letter,
vas taken by friend to see the
wonderful plaster cast Of human beings
which are among the curiosities Of the
Russian Department. How tho thing
is done, tits impossible to imagine,
but there the statues are, rccumben.
female figures, undoubtedly taken
from living women. Ono lies slightly
turned upon her side. her lips parted
in smile, as though she was striving
to suppress laugh. Tho other, who
has the finest form oftho two lies face
downward, her feet crossed, and her
head pillowed on her raised arms. as
though she had thrown herself down
to sleep. The minutest details Of the
texture Of the skin, nails, etc., arc very
perfectly Reproduced, the "goose
flesh " whereWi.h the skin Is covered
being amusingly noticeable, and show
ing that the preparation used for these
casts, the composition whereof is q
secret. must be applied cold. Then all
the little indcntations ia tho soles oi
feet and The palms Of the hands. aud
the curves Of tho nails and their rim.
ming Of skin and flesh are reproduced
with even startling accuracy. The
process by which these figures are
produced is still q secret, but it il
certainly wonderful and cur ious dis
oovery.

How to Propose.

Young men contemplating. marriage

You will find it comparatively. easy

with somo liLtIo regard as to the mon

after hearty meal. The blood is
needed 10 aid her digestion, and her i'm
agination is chilled.
Nor should it como just before o
meal, for tho lougings Of an impoFtu'
nate system couduco to anxiety and ir-
ritability, and tho shock may prove
hazardous. 1t would be bcstar to select
the evening, and generally after you
have taken her to some entertainment.
Her nerves are then apt to DO stronger,
and her mind my have already dwelt
on tho possibilities until she. 10 perfectly

But never forget yourself so far as
to propose .o2 returning from q thsater.
sho will have the style and Dir Of some
actor before her mental vision, apd you
can. compare with the romance she
throws over hip. The best way is 10
invite her to some entertainment which
you knoW she wants to attend. and then
propose to her just as she is ready 70
start. This will bo greatly to your ad-
vantage, for she will easily SEQ that a
rejection will upset al evenings amusc.

In tho spring Of tho year you must
