Now, Mr.. Fox, although a non~re.
sitant, had quietly made up his mind
that be would not suffer from any
prolonged serenade. He was addict
ed to the cultivation of bees, and he
had on his premises twelve large bee
hives, each one of which contained a
thousand or SO of the largest and
tiercest variety Of bee. On the even.
ing OF the expected serenade Mr.. Fox
conveyed the twelve beehives to the
root of his front piazza and placed
them very near the edge thereof. He
then provided himself with a pole
long enough to reach from his front
bedroom window to the beehives, and
with a sweet and placid expression
of countenance sat down to await the
serenaders.
In due time they arrived in force.
There were at least fifty of them, and,
grouping themselves in the trout
yard close to the house, they began
their uproar. Mr.. Fox listened si-
lently for ten or fifteen minutes, and
then appeared at the window, and,
with gesture, induced the musicians
TO pause. He told them that they
must leave his premises, and that if
they refused they would probably he
sorry. With scorntul laughter the
young men declined to depart, and,
drowning Mr.. Fox's voice with irons
ical cheers, they resumed their sere-
made. It was then that Mr.. Fox dett.
ly upset his twelve heehives with the
aid Of his pole, and, closing his wins
dow, proceeded to go peacefully to
bed, undismayed by the wild yells
which suddenly arose rom his sere-
naders, and without seeking to know
why they fed headlong from his front
yard.
"There wasn't one of them bees
that would let up on man under
three mile," remarked Mr.. Fox next
day.

imaginary bad-tasting stuff. The
bartender put in several bad tasting
things, and gave the glass to the poor
young man. He swallowed it and
asked for some limberger cheese.
The bartender gave him piece OF
an old overshoe TO chew, aud he
seemed relieved.
After he had become calm he told
the bar tender what was the trouble.
He had been calling on girl and she

The Uses OF Paper.
From Gn ErcbGnge.

From Gr1 ErchGnge.
Paper car-wheels are composed
entirely of paper rings pressed to-
gether under weight of six tons, and
then fastened by means of bolts and
steel tire put on them, when they are
ready tor use. Laid loosely, the rings
stack as high as the shoulders of an
ordinary man. Under treatment they
sink to the thickness required. ii the
tire should wear or fall off the wheel,
or the train run from the track, there
would be no danger OF their break
ing, as they are very flexible, and
would spring. A paper ball can be
rendered so solid that nothing but a
diamond tool can cause an indenta~
ton in it. At the mill is square
block ofcompressed paper fastened on
turning lath, and so hard that. ic a
fine steel chisel is held against it when
moving, instead of cutting the paper,
it will break the chisel into hundred
pieces strength is astonishing.

ICE FOR RAISING CREAM.

The question is often asked if cream can
be injured by being "raised too cold, and
the only reply is, certainly. 1t can he
about, or quite ruined. 1t is well known
fact that under the old or tin pan system
of butter. making, if the cream was frozen
or chilled, the fine nutty flavor of the but
ter was destroyed even the grain was in
iured, and q mealy butter s~s1lted In
many patent creamers brought out, the cold
setting principle IS empioye ed, the object
being TO make radical distinction between

As degrees, there is danger of destroying
the grain and nutty flavor of the butter,
and the best results will always be found in
temperature between 40 and So dgrte..
In talking with a noted dairyman of New
York recently, he made the remark that
the finest favored and keeping butter
| in the world was made in room in
| which the temperature could be kept
at uniform point, and the milk set
in tin pans. A nice point is also being
raised about the chemical difference he
tween cream that IS forced cut of tie 49,

The aromatic flavor is now believed u
the result of decomposition Of some
the clements of the cream produced by d
action of the oxygen OF the air, rather thu
the feeding of any particular food to inhu-
ence this flavor. The rapidly raised cream
having been chilled by this contact with
ice water, has thus had a chemical change
before its contact with the oxygen OF the
air hence is not similarly affected. Milk
set in pals in pool of water, with their
covers removed so that the air can come in
contact with it while coming to the sur
face, would probably not be inferior TO milk
set In pans in pure air-the most perfect of
all systems as regards high-havored butter,
but far from being the haudiest and most
expeditions method in this fast age, when
minutes are of more value than were hours
to our grandfathers.

THE WHITE YAK.

Animals of the OK family have been of
immense service to mankind, and some
were apparently domesticated at very
early period. Our well known cattle
varying greatly in size, IN the quality of
flesh and abundance OF milk, are found
wherever civilization has made any pro-
gress. Besides these, there are the buffalo
of the eastern continent and cur bison, the
musk. OK of the frozen regions Of North
America, and the yak of India. The last
three show more long hair than the others.
The yak Is found in the confines Ct Asiatic
Tartary, the mountains of Thibet aud Gen.
trail Asia. Like cur bison, it has tuft of
crisp hair on the head and kind Of lion
like name, while the under part Of the
body and the upper part Of the legs are
covered with thick fringe of long hair,
reaching nearly to the ground. The full
long tail resembles that Of horse, and the
general hair on the body ia long, thick and
soft. The head is short, and the horns
round and smooth. The immense mass of
hair makes the YAK lcok very much LARGER
than it really is, but, independent of this,
it is larger than our domestic cattle. It is
a wild, irascible and dangerous animal,
and, though domesticated in China and
Thibet, submits with an i'll grace, and
shows it's ill-tcmper by grunt like that of
hog, from which it is sometimes called
the granting-ox. The prevailing color is
LACK when found white they are
highly priced. Its flesh, milk, hide and
hair IRE all used, the hair being woven into
stuff. The tail has high commercial value,

and yak's tail, dyed this favorite color
and suspended from the cap, is the hight
of ambition in the Flcwery Land. In
India the tail is used as a brush for driving
| off flies and other insects from men, horses
and elephants. These tails are often set IN
costly handles, and are called ohowries.

She does not take what he takes amss,
Nor seem in an awful taking.
Sweet kisses he takes so loud and fast
That he takes her breath completely;

fatal question had been asked of each
and duly answered, whereupon the
Mayor had rendered his personal

document which, when signed made them
lawfully man and wife. At this critical
moment the proceedings were interrupted
by the entrance of telegraphic messenger,
