you to know than in this world OF adulter-

proves and does all it advertises to do, aud
more. -Four years ago had . slight shock
OF palsy. which unnerved me to such an ex-
tent that the least excitement would make
me shake like the ague. Last May was
induced to try Hop Bitters, I used one
bottle, but did not see any change; another
did so change my nerves that they are now
as steady as they ever were. 1t used to
take both hands to write. but now my good
right hand writes this. Now, il you con-
tinue to manufacture as honest and good
an article as you do, you will accumulate
an honest fortune, and confer the greatest

Snnerstitions About Bees.

house dies, or it is supposed they will
desert their hives; but we 60 further

1t is common practice when any one

Capt. w ebh.

A special cable to the Boston Globe
says; The professional swimmers of
London have arranged a series of per
formances for the benefit of the
widow of Cap. Webb The London
press upon the first receipt of the news
of Webb's drowning, bitterly denoun-
ced the American spectators and
railways who, it alleged, had induced
Webb to undertake a task which he
could not comprehend, but which
they must have known was fatal. for
the mean motive of making money
out of excursions they calculated
would be got up to witness the scene
The London papers based their denun
citation upon the story they had to the
effect that a combination of these
Yankees had agreed to give Webb
SO, for undertaking the swim.
Officials of some of the railroads hap
pening to be in London at once made
public denials of the bogus story. and
the papers which printed it have re-
tracted and call Webb a fool and say
he must have been deranged before
he undertook, for no remuneration
even, a struggle with Niagara. The
COMMON people were proud of Webb,
particularly because Of his success in
swimming across the Channel. and
they have made many manifestations
of grief over the loss of the man
whom they regarded as the finest de-
velopment of the English athlete.
AT the Crystal Palace Friday night
there was a grand exhibition of fire,
works which had been long in prepar,
alton. The whole audience Kissed the
fire picture Of Niagara Falls because
1t didn't contain a portrait Of Webb
Murphy the Preston butcher. who
has often challenged Webb, and who
has always contended that Webb
would never succeed in breasting the
Niagara whirlpool, has also met with
a death similar to that which overlook
the Captain. Murphy, on more than
one occasion, challenged Webb to
dare with him the Ribble whirlpool
undertook to swim this fearful
pool on the very day Webb attempted
the Niagara and he was drowned

Cultivation of Tobacco,

That stage in the growth of tobacco
when the care or negligence with
which it has been treated becomes
consplcuously apparent is right at
hand in some quarters and rapidly APP
preaching in others.
The expert buyer, riding along the
reads, may be seen now with book and
pencil, noting here a bad location or
poor soil, there a lack of manure or
cultivation, and often the sublime and
the ridiculous in the product appears
side by side.
After topping, the work of sucker
ing demands and should receive early
attention. There are two methods of
suckering-a right and a wrong way.
One way is to let the suckers grow to
height of anywhere from six inches to
three feet, and then just before cutting,
take a butcher knife and hack them
down Suckers are suckerS-they
suck from the leaves; the larger the
suckers the smaller the leaves. The
other way is to nip the buds and suck
ers early, thus avoiding large wounds
which bleed the plants, and then keep
the suckers down by frequently break
ing them off.
The matter of wolming requires
daily and almost constant attention
unless some device is employed to kill
the miller. A silk dress pattern with
a rent in tits no more Objectionable to
the purchaser than a case of worm
eaten wrapper The holes don't
weigh anything, of course, but they
are costly to the seller. -Miamisburg

How to Improve Our Bees.

This question has caused great
amount of hard study, and is a ques-
ton that every bee-keeper should
make his study. Breeders of cattle,
hogs or any other animals give their
attention to the Improvement of their
stock. Why do we not pay the same
attention to the improvement of our
beesl You must first settle on the
KIND OF bees you want, and then get
the best queens you can, and rear your
young queens from your best quality.
and your drones from another good
queen. Change your queens every
season. get different one TO rear the
young queens from, and by so doing
your queens are not related one to
another If the Italian bees are the
kind that you want, pick out such
queens that all of these bees show the
three yellow bands; don't select those
where the band is light, they are not
claimed to be as good honey gatherers
or as energetic; but select those that
the bands are little inclined to look
reddish; this variety will give the best
results in honey, and is, | think,
great deal harder. This is one great
point; we want bees that will stand
the cold winters and come out good
and strong in the spring. Select
queen to rear your drones from whose
drones show the three yellow bands,
and try to get those that the yellow
bands are broad. Some bees do not
show the yellow band very plainly.
We want bees where the third band
is large as any of the rest, and we
can have them so if we are as careful
as we should be in selecting our breed
ing stock. If we follow this method
for few years our bees viii all be as
nice and uniform as any other stock.
Some of our queens that are imported
are very dark, and their bees will
hardly show the third band Always
select as large bees as you can get

will do all in their power to make the
