How many ever had the the pleasure of
seeing the queen of the hive? Who can
tell her among q dozen drones? Who
could tell black bee from an italian or
Cyprian, or sealed brood from sealed
honey, or bee bread from propolis, or tell
where to find royal jelly? Who knows
that the workers only live about forty
working DAYS and the queen several
wears? Who knows that the queen may
Law eggs before she has met the drone that
will hatch and produce drones, but her
eggs will never produce workers unless
she has been fertilized, and when once
fertile may continue TO lay for years ?
These questions and Il hundred others
equally interesting are all easily demons
trated by those who have availed them
selves OF the advanced system. Of bee
keeping practised by Intelligent bee
keepers of the day. Probably bee culture
has made as rapid march of improvement
during the past five years as any branch
of agricultural pursuits. During the
present season the same care and expense
has been employed in selecting and i'm
porting bees from Italy, island Of Cyprus
and the Holy Land, rs has been employ
ed in the perfection of our various breeds
of horses and cattle. Although we do not
have ihe bee pasturage in New England
that is found In the basswood and wild
flowers of the west, still many bees are
kept here with profit, even III the old box
hive; how much more, then, might be ex-
pected with the new appliances of Franc
Hives, Comb Foundation, The prize sec
ton box, The Extractor and Smoker.
With the aid Of little smoke an expert
will open his hives and remove the brood,
bees, or honey, show you his choice
queens, and discourse on their fine points
with as much accuracy as the best horse
trainers or herdsmen. On holding up a
frame or brood he may say, You see this
queen is lhying, for here are eggs less. than
"a hours old See what n prolific queen
she is; how she packs in the eggs; does
not miss cell, or, Il do not like this
queen; she lays too many drone eggs !;
| will kill her and put in another" You
ask, How can you prove that the work
ers only live 30 or 40 DAYS Of labor, but
live all winter without labor?" He will
say, "If | remove the queen from this
black colony and replace her with an
italian queen, who begins TO lay imme-
diately, IN q days her eggs will begin to
hatch, TIE black bees will continue to
die till they are all replaced with Italians,
and we note the day when the last fly
dies. DO all bees sting?" NO,
the drones are as harmless rs flies
Queens will not sting you, though they
will bite and will sting rival to death IL
five minutes after being hatched. Tn,
workers, which are the only ones to be
feared at all, can usually be subdued by
blowing smoke made from punk among
them g. II. L., IN Worcester Spy.

I'm the husband Of the woman you
sec hanging out clothes over there.
"And why arc you hiding here:'
I've been off ON Il spree for whole
week"
"Ah! | sec. 1t is the return of the

The officer slipped around and told the
wife that her husband was hiding IN tht
alley, and then took a position where he
could witness what followed. He hao
hardly secured it when the man came
down the alley on a gnllop, followed at {
short distance by the wife, armed with
