Three Mysterious Wells.

About eight miles from Kingston,
Ont, and 400 yards from the river ST..
Lawrence, rises a lofty granite ridge,
on which are three wells carved out
of the solid rock, which have defed
the queries of the Oldest inhabitants
as to their intended use. These cyl
inders, only four feet deep and foot
or more in diameter, were hewn out
of rocks which the keenest tempered
tools of modern times would scarcely
clip, and from top to bottom they are
as smooth as the finest polished Scotch
granite. They always contain a CO.
pious supply of pure water, which
must be supplied by rains, as no sur
face water can penetrate them. The
popular idea is that therein former
savages pounded their corn, but the
diameter of the holes and their dis
proportionate depth renders that i'm
probable.

Professor Swing on Race Horses.
From his Article on Expositions, in theiWeekly
Ma0aZna

From his Article ''Expositions,' in theiWeelly
Magazine
The progress of the race-horse is
great, but it lobors under the disadvan-
tage Of being Of no value. Of all
forms of advance, that of the trotters
and PAGERS is Of least importance. A
fast horse, in racetrack sense of the
word, may be q matter of amusement,
but not of value. The advance IN the
quality of jack-nives is Of more worth
than the triumph over the old $40
time. An improved clothes horse is
better than an improved race-horse
except for betting purposes. More
money can be won or lost over a St.
Julien or Dexter than can be won or
lost over a clothes-horse or saw
horse, but otherwise there is nothing
in favor of the animal that can be
forced mile in Oil.
And yet there is forna of going
that is desirable. If aman must take
a trip In a buggy it is a great gain and
q great pleasure if he has a Morgan
trOtter that can make the ten miles an
hour as easily as the old farm horse
could make half that distance. This
progress of horsefesh is as much to
be priced as is the railway or the
steamship. Time is saved and comfort
is doubled.

OF the difficulty which people find in
working a telephone comes not from
any defect IN the machine, nor from
deficient hearing, but from inability
to Tx the attention on what is heard.
This trouble readily disappears by
practice IL listening closely to what is
said over the wire. Indeed the atten-
ton may be trained to an abnormal
development, as IN the case of the
head operator at the central office,
who has been IN the telephone bust
ness for four years; she has so accus-
toned herself to fix her attention on
the machine before her and to abstract
her attention from her surroundings,
that when she is in her home she
often fails to hear when she is adj
dressed by members Of the family.

Wintering Bees.

Professor Cook, than whom there is
no better authority, gives in the Agri-
culturist these suggestions for winter
ing bees:
THE apiarist should prepare his
bees for winter as soon as the frost
makes all farther gathering of honey
impossible. Examination will show
whether there is sufficient honey
stored to winter the bees. If the
frames, just as they are taken from
the hives, containing bees, honey and
comb, weigh 80 pounds In the aggre-
gate, there is enough honey. If not,
good, thick honey or syrup, made by
dissolving granulated sugar, should
be fed at once, so that all cells may be
capped over before the cold days of
October check the labors Of the hive.
It is best that the honey be so abund-
ant in the frames that we need not
give the bees all the frames used in
summer. 1t is better to use not more
than seven or eight GALLUP or Ameri-
can frames, and not more than five or
six Langstroth frames. These are CON
fined by division boards. Tt is best to
carefully exclude pollen. Frames of
pollen are set aside, to be returned
when breeding is resumed the succeed
ing spring. The bees may easily
change the position CT the cluster in
the cold days of winter, and it is de-
sirable to cut small holes the size of
thimble through the combs, an inch
or two above the center. Cover above
the bees with sacks of dry sawdust,
which should be long enough to reach
over the division boards and to the
bottom Of the hive. These protect the
bees from the extremes Of heat and
cold, and promote healthfulness. Thus
prepared, the bees to be wintered in
chaff hives on their summer stands
will need no further care until the sue
ceeding April. IF the bees are placed
in the cellar they need not be touched
again until just before winter comes
when they are to be taken in again.

Letters from Stanley.

A letter from Henry NJ. Stanley
dated July IA, at Stanley Pool, on the
Congo River, has been received by a
personal friend in Boston, with regard
to his sudden departure from Europe.
He explains the cause as being the
sensational and exaggerated telegram
printed III English papers to the effect
that one Of the stations had been at
tackled and the Chief Of the expedi-
sion badly wounded The Chief, who
was heartily dishked, was shot in the
arm, butno station was attacked. The
station was partially broken up by the
personal ambition of the younger
men of the party, each of whom desir-
ed to succeed the Chief. Stanley thinks
the station can se supplied by native
help. The number of steamers and
boats has been increased, and alto
gether he considers everything more
encouraging. At LeopOldville there
are two missions, the Baptist and the
Livingstone Congo mission, and
already they look quite imposing in
their buildings. Stanley says: "Since
arrived on the Congo last December
| have been up as far as the equator,
and have established two more sta
tons, ana besides discovering another
lake, Mantaniba, have explored for
100 miles or thereabouts ariver known
on my map as the Weleber, but which
IS really the Walundo It is not as
large as stated in my book, but about
The size of the Arkansas, deep, broad
and very variable The big stream
which, we expect, must drain the
largest part of the South Congo basin
must be somewhere higher up. Hav-
ing become better acquainted with the
country, l am really struck with the
dense population Of the equatorial
part of the basin, which, if it were
uniform throughout, would give 49,
900, 900. The number of products and
the character of the people likewise
are remarkable. Gums, rubber, ivory,
camphor, wood and a host of other
things would repay transportation,
even by the very expensive mode at
present in use. The people are born
traders, and are, for Africans, very
enterp"ising and industrious. Stanley
tells Of his meditation with the tribes
who were at war and who when peace
was brought about by his efforts, elect
ed him father and mother" of their
country.

Effect of the Telephone on Hearing
and Attention.

1t has been assumed by some that
the effect of constant use of the tele-
phone is injurious to the ear. The
Springfield Republican finds just the
opposite to be the case with operators
and others there. One of the young
girls in the central office there saws
her hearing is constantly improving.
When she began this work she blum
dered sadly; now the ear is drilled to
catch the faintest sound, and her sense
of hearing is remarkably acute. It
must be noticed that the regularity Of
this schooling of the ear is largely re-
sponsible for the good results. If an
operator were to take a switch board
only one day in the week and do all
the work required on that day. the
practice would doubtless be detrimen-
tai, because it would be exhaustive TO
both the muscular and nervous make
up of the ear. The systematic use of
the telephone seems to develop the
hearing above its normal acuteness
but does not make it technically alb
normal. One benefit from using the
telephone is evident to both sub-
scribers and central Office operators.
that of cultivating the attention, a
process which is reckoned as the third
or intellectual method of developing
the sense of hearing. A good share

ually brings down the bird. These
little hunters bring in on an average
about five birds a day. I pay from
ten to fifteen cents each for the birds,
and then I dress and stuff them and
ship them to San Francisco. Then
am paid at the rate of fifty cents each
for the female common bird, and
seyenty-fve cents each for those male
birds of the brilliant plumage. Last
year we sent off less than a thousand
birds; we could have found market
for at least three times the number
exported. San Francisco obtained a
large proportion of these birds. The
best and prettiest are selected and
shipped direct to Paris and London.

Slain for Fashions Sake.
From the Santa Barbara Press.

or since fashion has decreed that birds
as well as feathers should be used to
ornament the heads of feminine Soc
iety, a new source of revenue has
been opened to the native of southern
California. Santa Barbara, being

Ruiz. ''It is less that three years old
but is steadily growing. We do not
propose to engage very largely In it,
as it is not exactly IN our line, which
is drugs and perfumery, but we
find profitable market for all we

How do you obtain these hum

The little boys bring them in.
There are four or five little Califor-

are experts with sling shots. Small
