Hard on the Bees.
From the Louisville Commercial.

From the Louisville Commercial
The poor bees, too, have caught it
bad during the severe weather,
mainly on account of the scarcity of
food.
A correspondent Of the Chicago
Times, who has visited number of
bee-raisers in Kane county, ILL.,, re.
ports the prevalent opinion that two
thirds of the bees in the northwest
have died since last fall or will be
dead before June l. He was told
that d. Martin, of Geneva, had lost
six or eight swarms-all he had. 3.
@. Yates, Of Geneva, had lost all of
his. James Woodmar, of Black.

now has two. The Barber brothers,
OF La Fox, have lost twenty. Eu.
gene Otis, of Batavia. had stventy
swarms last spring; all are dead.
William Way, OF Batavia, put eighty
five in the cellar last fall he will
not have twenty-five by the LIST OF
June. William Uric, of Aurora, has
three swarms left out of total of
eighty. w. Webster, of Elgin, has
two out of thirty lett. These state
ments are rather discouraging, it
must be admitted, but the losses emu
merated are all in Kane county,

seventy eight pounds of nitrogen; 1t
is thus rich enough in these elements
to be useful as a manure, 1or which
purpose, indeed. it is extensively
used in the South. But, beng so rich
a food, it cannot be given to animals
except in small quantities. Two
pounds are quite enough for a COW
that is milking; a calf should not
have more than two TO four
ounces; pigs will not thrive on it at
all, as it is too rich for them, except
when given in small quantities.
mixed with bran Stops or cut roots.
Horses do well on it if given two
pounds daily with corn meal two
pounds of it equal ten pounds of oats.
But If fed too abundantly the bowels
are made very costive and the kid
mems are affected. This is doubtless
on account of its highly heterogeneous
nature, as the waste nitrogen elimi-
mated from the system through the
kidneys, and they are too actively
excited by very rich food. The next
ill effect is an infamatory condition
OF the system and in COWS there is
danger of garget, and horses suffer
from irritation of the skin, sore
mouth and hide.bound. 1t is as
though man were fed on extract OF
beet, rich pastry, and such food only.
When used judiciously and with
knowledge of its character and value,
it is the cheapest (at its present price,
$33 ton,) and one OF the most USE
tul foods we have. Being rich in
nitrogen and oil, it should be used
with food rich with starch. as pola
toes and roots. One pound of cot.
ton.seed meal mixed with half a
peck OF boiled potatoes and mashed
together, would make good feed for
a tattening pig, or milking cow, but
the pig should have corn or bran for
the second daily feed. One pound
of cotton-seed meal we consider
equal to two pounds OF corn meal.

The Cultivation of Sponge.

From the Key Vest Democrat.
We were much surprised when
Mr.. Nat Miles, who lives on Torch
light Key, told US that he chad com.
menced the cultivation Of sponge,
and that from what he had already
done he was satisfied that he would
make it a success."l About five hum
dred OF the finest uality OF sponge
had been placed, planted or what
ever you might yerm it, and they
had surprised him at the rapidity
with which they glow. Up to this
time, he had experienced one great
trouble in getting the young sponge
TO adhere to the rock. What he had
put down he had used string to tie
them ON the rock, but the oscillatory
motion of The water prevented some
OF them from adhering and growing
as they should. He is now III hunt
Of glue that Will harden III water
and thus hold the sponge fast until
it tasteus itself to The rock.
We have never before heard Of
such an experiment being tried but
we see no reason why it could not be
made success along the shallow
reefs of this coast which are the nat>
ural home Of the sponge. The
sponging interest of this place is
great; and the price paid tor sponge
is high, and if the inventive genius Of
man can Increase its production on
our coast, another means is found by
which the prosperity OF our country
can be enhanced. We shall watch
this experiment and have more to
say about it in the future.

An Oriental Joe Miller.

A story is told of Ell Mehdi, another Of tho
Abbasides, that being out hunting one day, he
came upon the hut of an Arab, who set some
simple fare before him, but supplemented it
with bottle of wine. The Caliph drank a
glass and said, 80 brother OF the Arabs! do
you know who amp" ''No, by Allah!" was
the reply. II am ono of the personal atten-
dants of the Commander of the Faith
full" 81 congratulate you your post
said the ether Tossing off another glass Ell
Mohdi repeated the question, and the Arab re-
minded him that he had just told him he was
one of the Caliph's suite. May" said Ell
Mehdi, s'but am one of his principal officers -
81 wish You joy!'' said the Arab. After a
third glass the Caliph again began, 80 brother
of the Arabs, do you know who l amp" you
say that you are one of the Commander of the
Fathful's chief officers" answered the Arab
'Not so, answered Ell Mehdi, 81 am the Com
mander of the Faithful himself!' The Arab,
on hearing this, quietly took the bottle of wine
from the table and put it away with the SEN
tentious remark, ''If you were TO drink auoth-
er glass you would declare that you were the
Prophet himselip' This anecdote with slight
variations, is also told of IIaroun AlraschId;
indeed, it is often difficult TO ascertain exactly

are, as they are not unfrequently repeated III

English Appreciation of American
Letters.


American literature has now become so far
English that it has supplied us with more
household words than the literature of any
other country, except France. Mr. LowelPs
own "Biglow Papers have lent us some
notably the skeptical criticism of John p Rob-
inson on the culture of Palestine, and the
warning as to the necessity of early rising
when one is trying to circumvent the Absolute.
From a writer much less frivolous than
he is commonly thought to be, Mark Twain,
we have derived not only by-words but oppor-
tunities for that inextinguishable laughter
which seems to refresh and renew the whole
system. If Mark Twain mad written nothing
but the account of his purchase of the celebrat-
ed Mexican plug, and his account of how he
once increased the circulation of an agricul-
tural paper he would have made his mark
among the humorists who have used the
English language. Mr.. Bret Harte has sup
piled us with the immortal reflections of Bill
Nye, and has formulated the doubt which we
all feel in the presence Of the Mongolian race
the doubt whether Aryan man is not played
out, has not had his innings and is on the point
of following the Toltecs into the grave of van.
ished peoples. But these are only the first
names that occur. Our fiction owes its most
refined and elaborate pages to Mr.. James and
Mr. Howells, our anthropology is under a
heavy debt to Mr.. Bancroft and Mr.. Morgan
our criticism is sharpened by contact with that
OF half dozen brilliant writers, and perhaps it
is only in poetry that We still venture u think
II we may use an appropriate expression, 1--WE
have the inner tracks, The American Cau-
casans are certainly not played out, and we
may perhaps expect from them tho poet who
is TO succeed our foremost living masters.
