erS Sons.

Fl. Fl. Little writes TO the Farming
World: It is deplorable fact that a
large per cent of the young men of
our rural districts, farmers sons, are
restless and uneasy in their present
situations. They look with longing
eyes upon the imaginary attractions
Of our great over crowded cities.
They are excited by stories of wealth
obtained without labor, and are
tempted to throw themselves into the
tide of speculation which threatens to
overrun our land and country. In
other words, they are tired of the old
routine of ordinary farm life.
We would suggest remedy for this
state of things. Let the farmers of
cur noble land beautify their homes.
Set out an orchard of fruit trees, a
vineyard and a plantation of the
many varieties of choice small fruit
suited to their climate, and with the
attention that ordinary crops receive
they will find that these can be made
a source of profit as well as pleasure.
Furnish your sons with the best
literature the country affords; have a

Why, Do Bees Work in the Dark!

Every one knows what fresh honey
is-a clear, ight-yellow syrup with
out any trace of solid sugar in it.
After straining, it gradually takes a
less clear appearance, and finally can
dies, as the saying IS, and after a
while becomes like a solid mass of
moist sugar. It is supposed that this
change is due to the same chemical
action which changes the iodine of
silver on the Photographic plate, and
which determines the formation of
canaphor and iodine crystals in a
bottle, causing honey to assume a
crystalline form. Honey in closely
corked TASKS and kept in the dark re-
mains unchanged, but if exposed 70
the light soon crystalizes. This ex-
plains why bees. taught by what we
call instinct, are so careful to close
the glass windows that are sometimes
placed in their hives, or, in wild
State, why they always make their
honey in the hollow of a tree or other
dark places. The existence of the
young bees depends on the liquidity
of the honey on which they feed;
and if light were freely allowed &C
cess to the honey of the hive, the
honey would probably be unfit for
food to the young bees-perhaps even
fatal to them.

poor CARLOTTA."
How SkeyHon the Hearts of the mexi-
can People
Springfield Republican.

Springfield Republican
The Emperor and empress are re-
membered With more love and Justice
as time goes on, and the latter is in
variably spoken of as poor Caslot-
| ta." She won the hearts of the COM
mon people as the wife of no subse-
quent ruler has ever been able to do.
! AS one incident among hundreds
illustrating this fact, let nae tell you
what occurred not long ago at the
Teatro Principal: A we'll known
Mexican opera company lad been de
lighting this music-lovlng people for
many nights, and the favorite prima
dOnna--a gay and pretty little crea-
ture-was loaded with gifts and IA
vors. One night, for an encore, the
audience (who are always far more
excited and dem0nstrative here than
our colder blooded gatherings at the
NORTH demanded of the prima donna
one of the many little songs written
at the fall of the empire, ridiculing
the emperor and empress. The prima
donna endeavored to divert them from
the point, coquettishly singing other
songs at her prettiest, but still the
cries continued for the one at first de-
manded. Ia vain she did her best
in other lines, the wilful audience
would not be diverted, the cries de-
generated INTO bowls and then into
Kisses, till she was driven from the
stage. The manager going Behind
the scenes to exercise his personal
authority, found her in a passion of
tears. She explained that she had
once been 81 maid in the palace, that
the empress discovering her talent,
had been her patron and paid for
her musical education, and that the
very dress she was then wearing was
poor Charlotta's'' gift. Could she use
the advantage thus gained to ridicuIe
her benefactor? Meanwhile a per-
feet pandemonium was raging in the
theater; yells, cries and groans were
deafening; many people were hastily
leaving. and chairs had begun to
rain down upon the stage from the
galleries, with alarming indications
that heavier articles might soon be
expected to follow. The manager
stepped to the footlights amid a
shower of missiles, and explained the
situation. With the characteristic
volatility Of the Latin race, the little
girl was recalled in the midst of her
tears and cheered to the echo, order
was restored, and the offensive song
was rendered by the chorus without
her assistance.

and genealogical books; take num-
Der of The best agricultural papers in
the country. Give your sons some
life and liberty and they will not
want to leave the farm at eighteen;
treat them as though they were human
beings and not beasts; show them by
your actions that you think agricul-
ture is the modest industry in the
world, and that the prosperity Of any
nation depends largely upon her agri-
cultural resources.
keep hrSt-class stock; raise first
class stock, and have the best of every
tnlng, Tor such is not only right, but
the privilege and duty of all first class
farmers. Keep up with or a little
ahead of your own farm work-so as
not to let your work drive YOU. Study
your useful calling, from root 70
branch, like the merchant and mana

pleasure instead of a dull drudge.
When this is done you will see vast
Improvement IN our agricultural
wealth, peace, prosperity and happi-

And our noblest sons and daughters
will see and know there is virtue in
their peaceful lot. The noblest men
our nation ever possessed were agri-
culturists, and by these few only, has
the farmer been justly represented
in our national capital. And now let
me say if we want a good representa-

send men of brains there-thOSe aUho

Valuable ReCipes.

F'ELON CURE.-The Chicago Medical
Times says: Take common salt and
roast it on a hot stove until it is thor
oughly cry. Take a teaspoonful
this, a teaspoonful of CASTLE soap an
a teaspoonful of Venice turpentine
mix them well in a poultice and APP
ply to the felon. Renew the poultice
twice a day. In four or five days
your felon will, if not opened before
your pOultice was put on, present
hole down to the bone SO the pent-up
matter can escape. No matter how
bad the case is, apply the poultice.
RED ANTS may be banished from a
pantry or storeroom by strewing the
shelves with q small quantity of
cloves, either whole or ground We
use the former, as not being so likely
to get into the food placed upon the
shelves. The cloves should be re-
newed occasionally, as after a time
they lose their strength and efficacy.
TEMPERANCE EGG-NoG. Beat the
yolk and the white of al egg, sep
arately, mix; add and beat up with
them a tablespoonful of boiling
water, a wine-glass of cream, and a
tablespoonful of sugar; flavor with a
little nutmeg.

AN OLD EXHORTATT0N.

Neat be your farms: long confessed
The neatest farmer is the best:
Each bog and marsh industrious drain,
Nor let vile balks defoIm the plain,
Nor bushes on your Eeadland grow,
For hriars a Stevens culture show.
Neat be your barns, your houses sweet:
Your paths be cean, your dOOr-yards neat;
No moss the sheltering roof enshroud,
Nor wooden panes the windows cloud:
No sink-drainS should above ground flow,
Nor weeds with wrankling poison grow;
But flowers expand, and fruit trees blooms,
And fragrant shrubs exhale perfume.
Neatly enclose your garden round;
Smooth, enrich ana clear the ground;
For if to taste and profit you incline,
Beauty aKd use you always should combine.
