MORTALITY AMONG BEES. From the
severe and lOng-contlnuod cold Of the
past Winter. which confined tho bees
to the hives and to one portion of the
hives, for long months together, and
from numerous reports, am persuaded
that the past will add another to the
list Of disastrous Winters experienced
by American beekecpers; especially
will those suffer who are careless and
ignorant, Those who did not extract
the uncapped honey last Autumn. and
provide the requisite amount Of good
food. will suffer loss from dysentery in
their apiaries, which, ii 1t has not kill
ed the bees outright, may so have weak
ened them that only the best care can
restore them to health and vlgor.
Others gave the bees enough honey,
but loft 1t 80 scattered, each frame con-
tanning only ono or two pounds, that
the bees, confined to one part of the
hive by the cold, could not reach their
stores and so starved. BY thus neglect
ing to concentrate the bees and honey,
by use Of division boards, American
npiarists have lost thousands Of colonies
Of bees dnring the past Winter. If tho
bees, with sufficient honey-thirty
pounds-had been confined to cubic
foot Of space, or had there been break
In the severe cold, 80 that the cluster
of bees could have broken and ro-form-
cd, the result would have been different.
Bees kept in good cellar, in chair
hives, or well packed in straw or earth,
have suffered least. And such, if given
sufficient and pr oporly arranged stores,
are In fine condition. What to do?
Colonies suffering with dysentery, but
still active, should receive clean hives
and combs at once. If stores are absent
or inaccessible in any of the hives,
either feed or add combs containing
honey instanter. All colonies should
be confined to Il limited portion of the
hive, by use of the division board.
Stroag colonies should have about 1900
cubic inches; weak ones from half to
two-thirds as much. In changing or
handling the frames, caution is reguir-
ca not to separate combs containing
broods. Great care should be taken to
cover warmly with quilt and cushion
during tho cold days of Spring. Keep
colonies either In the cellar or packed
till flowers and gathering are at hand,
and do not remove the packing until
tho cold winds and nights of April are
past. Feed sparingly till gathering
from flowers begins. Add empty combs
as fast as they are required for brood.
Those who have lost heavily need not
sorrow as those having no hope. With
the comb and honey in the hives now
tcnantlcss, colonies can be built up with
surprising rapidity in May and June.
With these combs to aid and d good
season, careful apiarists can safely
quadruplc their stocks If little or no
surplus honey is desired.

A Famous Gamblers Career.

The weight of evidence, or rather of
assertion, is that of Garcia, the famous
gambler, is indeed dead. He is Span
iaad, and first came into fame as great
player at Homburg, where he arrived
with a small capital, some 5000 ort0, 1000
francs. A steady run of fortune in his
favor increased his capital to half mill
ion and made him the lion of the place.
NJ. Blame (whe died two years ago. en-
loycd tilt of this titanic sort, and was
also keenly alive to the advantages of a
gigantic advertisement, hence he gave the
gambler the privilege of playing five
times the limit, or maximum, SO that on
each roll of the ball $4,000 depended
Alter two months struggle Garcia left
Homburg in his own carriage, drawn by
four horses, the Wi ole town cheering him.
and something like 100000 francs IN
his possession. He went home to Spain,
built church, gave aims literally, and
took an oath never to gamble again This
oath he kept for two years, living in
prncely fashion in Spain, but spending
the gaming season on the Rhine, watch
ing the players with serene pleasure
One day at Baden the Duke dc Mornev
met him and asked him to play few
stakes, that he might see something of the
wonderful system by which the great
gambler had broken the bank. Garcia
declined and explained that he had re-
nounced play forever, to which the duke
replied with something of a sheer that
probably he had been prudent in doing
SO. Garcia, ncttlcd at the remark, put
down note and lost it, and another and
lost that. The duke laughed so taunt-
ingly at this that Garcia went to his
hotel, and stuffed his pockets with notes
and gold and returned TO the play-room.
When it closed at night he had lost near
ly 100000; in few days the v hole $500,
goo ad vanished. The Calzado affair
followed, when Garcia was imprisoned
for card-shlrping; this ruined him finally.
Ere play was stopped at Saxon-les- Bains
he hung round the place, rendering in
structions to inexperienced players after
wards he haunted Monaco, where, how
ever he was refused access to the gaming
tables when he had money. So he died
in poverty.
