A Clyde, New York, correspondent
gives it as rule, that bees gather no
honey from flowers except the latter be
in damp state. Hence, he concludes
that there is no such thing as white
clover honey, because bees never work
upon this plant except when it is dry,
and then but little in proportion to the
work they do on other plants. he ar
gues that white clover contains no
sweet, but that bees collect from it
their bread. "They collect bread from
all flowers in a dry state. My bees
gathered very little honey last season,
but it was not because there was not
an abundance of white clover, for new
ct saw it more plentiful" In regard to
separation of water from the honey, he
says the bee stakes honey and water
together into his body, and throws of
the water as he is flying. In the morn.
ing, look over the buck-wheat, towards
the sun, and you will often see him fly
up and throw the water. He collects
the water and the honey at the same
time, but carries nothing into his hive
but what is fit for storage"

A Desperate Encounter with Rattle
Snake.

Ilty
One day last week Miss Mary Flesh
man, living two miles east of Platte City,
had a thrilling adventure with rattle
snake. She was riding on horseback
along through the woods, when she
dropped her glove. She dismounted to
secure it, and as she was stopping to
pick it up, she discovered large rattle
snake, at least six feet long. coiled and
in the act of striking. 1t did strike but
failed to reach her and fell at her feet.
She sprang back with cry of horror,
but almost instantly the snake recoiled
and struck again. This time the veno-
nous fangs struck in the front part Of
her bonnet, and the hold tearing out
with the force of the blow and the weight
of the snake, it fell to the ground at her
feet Instantly it reared up in front of
her, its venomous breath right in her
face. Scarcely knowing what she did,
she seized the snake just below the head
with both hands, and holding it for a
moment, with desperate energy she
slung it from her and fled. 1t was a
narrow escape, but we are rejoiced to
say that Miss Fleshman sustained no
other injuries than those which result
from violent excitement and nervous
prostration.
