on the bad results of kissing the baby,
and what that baby has to suffer in va
rious ways from promiscuous oscula-

baby of the feminine persuasion until it
attains the age of 16. The cartilage of
the nose is stronger then, and there is
10 danger of deforming that sweet little
feature, or making her near-sighted.

The Fourth.

The observance of the Fourth in this town was very spirited, and the day pass ed off without any serious accident There were a number of visitors from out of town, and the streets and residences wore holiday appearance. Flags were displayed, guns fired and the usual amount of fire-crackers destroyed. The promised display of fire works was in consequence of the rain postponed until Saturday evening at S.30 o'clock, at which time the display was made and continued until 10.30 o'clock. There was a large turn out of the populace and the exhibition was one of the best ever seen in Newtown. We cannot describe each piece, but suffice it to Say that it proved a success, and was admirably arranged. The credit is due to the committee, Messrs. Camp and Rininsland, and the citizens who so literally contributed to the fund for the purchasing of the fire works. M c. Hawley not only contribut- ed liberally to the fund, but he also bought the articles used, in New York, for the display, and aided materia .ly in sec ing that the exhibition was successful. MT. John Halligan rendered excellent service on the occasion. It is pleasure to know that Newtown was not behind it's neighbors in the matter of fireworks and in some features took the lead. The new lamps just erected in front of the Grand Central Hotel. attracted consider able attention both lamps are of beauti- ful design ard give to the hotel metro politan appearance; in fact. they are just like those seen in cities in front of large hotels. They stand on stone bases and are about twenty feet high, and besides being an ornament and useful appendage to the hotel, are an ornament to the street. They are lighted by gasoline. which gives brilliant light. MT. Browne seems to have wonderful capacity for improvement, and every thing that he does are of the practical sort.

up and placing the other on top: a good blow on the top one will dislodgs the bees, and their being mixed will cause one of the queens to be killed, making one good swarm ont of two. poor ones. Both of the above methods are practiced by practical apiarians.
 To prevent hang out and dilatory swarming where increase IS not wanted. give the bees a vent in the back of the hive near the top, or bore one-inch holes in the top two rows, three in a row, inches apart. and place on boxes; If in- crease is wanted and you do net wish to loose the swarms, they can be made to swarm by carefully turning the hive bot tom up -and place another hive or box on the inverted hive, wrap a cloth around the joint, and drum on the old hiSe The bees with the queen will soon travel to the upper hive, and in half an hour you can have the swarm driven out and hived. Whenever a hive is so driven, the new hive must be placed where the old one stood and the old one moved to anotherplace-; or a piece of old carpet-it is the moro sure of success. If bees are furnished. plenty of box room during white clover, basswood and sumac bloom to retard swarming, and get the marketable honey.
 After the yield of of the above named is
 over, the swarm may be driven out, and
 if furnished comb foundation, the new swarm will come on in advance of the
 early natural swarms, and the honey will
 pay large wages and profits on the
 amount of extra trouble and expense.
 And at the time of driving Italian queens
 can be put into the old hive with perfect
 safety by any one wishing to Italionize.

Hints to Bee Keepers.-NO. ,.

Many will now be complaining of their bees either swarming too much or hang ing out badly and not swarming. The last trouble for the novice to eradicate
 the first is quite difficult undertaking in appearance. though comparatively easy when ever properly done. To prevent af- ter swarming turn up the hive that has
 swarmed If box hive) and smoke from cotton rags or rotten wood, drive the bees down and destroy all the queen cells to be found but one, and there IS but very little danger of them swarming but once; or, when second or third svarms come out, if they are small, hive them, and early in the evening jar the bees from two hives together, by either on a cloth and letting them run together into one hive or by turning one bottom
