How to Make few Stands of Bees Supply
the Family Trade.

The following is from a practical bee
keeper. d. Rusk. We copy from Ore
gon City Enterprise. Procure some NOV
able frame hives and be sure you pick out
the kind of hive you like to handle-one
that is convenient to manipulate your
bees in during sWarming time. to pre-
pare your frames for transferring, make
some splints to go crosswise of the frame
and with One-inch wire nails, tack two
on one side and one on the other, two on
the opposite side. Tools to transfer with
will amount to about these: One smoker,
a hammer, one or more pans, one bucket
of water to keep your hands clean, some
rotten hard wood to burn in smoker,
one cold-chisel to cut the nails in the
old hive, or an old Ratchet will answer.
Now, as this lesson is to the
novice, I would say, put on a bee veil
and a pair of rubber gloves. Place your
boards or bench by the bees, set your
hive on one end of the bench, the one
next to the bees. Now smoke the bees,
but not too much, or you will smother
them. Let them have time to fill them
selves with honey, then pick up the hive
andlay its side on the bench open to the
new hive. If you have a board long
enough, lay a sack or two on it, lay the
combs on, as you take them out brush off
the adhering bees into thenew hive with
feather buster or Whisk broom. Cut
the combs so as to fit snugly in your
clamp frames. Place your two movable
cleats or splints and tack fast the two
ends and hang it in the hive. By the
time you can get two or three combs in,
the bees will begin to cluster. Keep a
good lookout for the queen that she does
not get mashed between the combs, or
fall on the ground and get tramped upon
and killed. If the combs are straight you
may get enough combs to fill one body of
your hive, and if you get more, put inthe
upper story of your hive and fill out with
foundation. Keep them well supplied
with foundation, as this is great help to
them in making honey. I prefer using
the full size sheets of foundation to fill
the frames to within one-half inch Ofthe
end and bottom bars. Then your combs
are true and easy to handle, either large
or small. When the bees have mended
the transfer comb you may take the
splints off. Bees cared for in this way
will usually give two or three times as
much comb or extracted honey as they
will in the old way of handling them. l
have taken honey to the amountof several
dollars worth, from a few stands kept in
this way, which required but little more
labor to produce than does an empty box
in the old way. You will work diligent-
ly to care for COWS and horses, sheep and
hogs, while the bees are not given
chance to take care of the delicious sweets
of nature that go to waste about your
premises year after year.

Cheney Journal: w. H. Rankin Post
No. 1926, G. A. R., has organized. Hon.
II. L. Willard was the mastering General.
Twenty-four names were upon the char
ter. This is a good beginning, but the
prospect is that the number will soon be
doubled. The following are the officers:
w. A. Thomas, Post Commander; E. J.
Lovejoy, Senior Vice Commander w. G.
Osgood, Junior Vice Commander; A. B.
Fraser, Quartermaster c. E. Burrows,
Adjutant; Frank E. Sammis, Chaplain;
W. F. Tibbetts, Officer of the Day; A. r.
Fraser, Officer of the Guard Sam'1 Jack,
Serg't Major; J. A. Tubbs, master Ser
geant. The meetings will be held on the
first and third Saturdays of each month.
The name of the Post, in accordance
with the custom of the G. A. R., is after
some dead soldier. W. II. Rankin was
the only one who is buried here, and the
Post very appropriately took his name.

is considerable difference in the ac-
ton of the Senators regarding their
speeches?"
Eyes, indeed" was the reply. %some
are very careful about their revision.
and others pay no attention to them af-
ter they are once spoken. Senator Ed
munds never revlses a speech, but some
of the other Senators look the manuscript
over carefully before it goes to press.
One of the finest speakers ever heard
was Judah 2. Benjamin. He was a short
fat brunette, and most graceful in his
gestures. His face shone as he spoke:
his words rolled out in silvery tones.
JEFF. Davis was also a fine speaker.
Astounding in classic illusions. One night
l heard John Bell, of Tennessee. make a
speech, when the President of the Sem
ate, himself and / were the only ones in
the chamber. 1t was long night session
and all the rest of the Senators were
loafng either in the cloak-rooms or in
the restaurant. Bell, nevertheless, roared
out his speech with all the eloquence
and earnestness of revivalist preacher.
The perspiration rolled down his face;
he tore of his collar and preached away
as though fifty thousand people were
listening to him. Yes, there have been
many funny speeches here, but that was
one of the funniest. One of the fastest
speakers of the Senate was Mr.. Sargent.
our late Minister to Berlin. He could
speak for two hours, averaging two
hundred words minute. There was a
debate here some years ago on the Dis
trict of Columbia bonds which lasted
about four hours, and which by actual
calculation averaged between 100 and
200 words minute.
The first congressional reporter was
Joseph Gales, the father of the Gales &
Seaton who for long time edited Tn
National InteILEgencer in Washington, and
reported in it the debates of Congress.
Gales was an Fnglishman, and was
forced to fee that country for the too
free expression of revolutionary senti-
ments in 1892. On his long passage over
the Atlantic he studied shorthand, and
when he got to Philadelphia he obtained
employment as a reporter of Congress
for one of the Philadelphia papers. His
reports were so full that they seemed
miraculous.

Some Big Pictnras.

There is on exhibition in Chicago a
heroic picture of the Battle of Gettys-
burg" It is shown in a circular struct-
ure, and so poised that it gives to the be-
holder the impression that he is viewing
a real battlefield. 1t has drawn, night
after night, through almost an entire
year, great crowds, and has netted to
the purchasers Of the picture very large
dividends. Another amphitheatre of
iron and brick four hundred feet in cir
conference has risen in its near vicinity,
and in it is to be exhibited "The Siege
of Paris" The canvas is AZ feet high
and 378 long, and weighs over seven
tons. The scene depicted Is the last sor-
tie from besieged Paris, and is supposed
to be viewed by the spectator from the
Heights of Montretout. 1t is the work
of Philippians, ST., father Of the paint
er of the Battle of Gettysburg"
Munkaecy's picture of the Crucifxion
painted for the collector Sedelmeyer is
so big that it required many horses and
men to transport it from the painters
studio to the gallery, which had to be
enlarged IN order to receive it. Christ
and the two thieves are on the extreme
right and somewhat back; the fore
ground contains large crowd of people.
A ray of light from the clouds touches
the nSaQ OF Oar1SC, the virgin kisses dis
feet, and Mary Magdalen, Martha and
st. John of Arimathea are about her in
attitudes of distress. The executioner,
holding his hammer, leans on the ladder.
