Reputation with prosterity has
ever been esteemed one of the most
powerful incentives to deeds of he
roism; and one modern school Of
philosophy recognizes as the only
true Immortality Of man, the endur-
ing benefcent influences Of his vir-
tuous actions If, however, the fa-
brio Of our civilization were seen to
be tottering,itis is plain thatthis parti-
cular stimulus to virtue would fail.
But "Is our Civilization Perishable?"
The Question is asked in the N1yib
Amy1rau Rsul5g for March, by Judge
J. A. Jameson, who considers the
several agencies by which the over
throw Of the existing civilization
might be effected. In the same num-
Der Of the RsIi50 there is an article
Of extraordinary interest on "Agri-
cultural Politics in England, by
William E. Bear, editor Of the Mark
Lane Express. CA DefenCeless Sea
board by General H. A. Smalley, is
description Of the unprotected
condition Of the harbors and coast
cities of the United States; and
though the author employs none of
the arts of the rhetorician, his state
mcnt cannot fail to awaken the peo-
pie Of this country to the importance
Of being in peace prepared for war.
Neither Genius nor Martyr, is the
Judgment pronounced upon the
wife Of Carlyle by Alice Hyneman
Rhine, whose contribution to the
Carlyle controversy is characterized
by much force. In "The Story Of a

counts the hitherto unpublished his
tory Of the means by which the
nomination of Abraham Lincoln for
a second presidential term was
brought about; Other articles are

"REMINISCENCES OF ROCHESTER
The Falls Of the GenesCe and Sam
PatCh's Fatal Leap-Oue Of its
Business Houses and its
great Magnitude.

The present floods, which are
either devastating or threatening the
country in every direction, are Justly
cause for apprehension. No matter
whether they come suddenly or by
slow degrees, they are, in either case,
a great evil and much to be dreaded,
and yet America will always be
troubled by these spring overaows.
Probably one Of the most disastrous
that was ever known, occurred in
Rochester, N. Y, about twenty years

How Watch Cases are Made.

Imitation always follows a successful
article, and imitation is one of the best
proofs of real honest merit; and thus it is
that the James Boss Gold Fdtcb Case has
its imitators. Buyers can always tell the
genuine by the trademark of a orotCn, from
which is suspended q pair Of .,,- Y u,,r
scales. Be sure BOTH crOuR and 3 D
scales are stamped in the cap Of the watch
case. Jewellers are very cautious about en-
dorsing an article unless they not only kaOw
that it is good, but that the charaeter of
the manufacturers is such that the quality
ofthe goods will be kept fully up to standard

There are a few first bylHatkS in
bee culture, which every bee-keeper
should be as familiar with as he is
with the alphabet.
First, Bees gorged with honey
never venture an attack.
Second, Bees may always be made
peaceable by sprinkling them with
liquid sweets Of some kind.
Third, Bees when frightened with
smoke or by drumming upon the
hive, fill themselves with honey and
lose all disposition to sting unless
they are hurt.
Fourth, Bees dislike any quick
movements about their hive, and the
least jar dIsturbs them and sets them
in motion.
Fifth, Large yields of honey can
only be secured by a moderate in
crease of stocks, therefore swarming
should be prevented as a rule.
Sixth, Unless the season is un-
usually favorable the increase should
be in the proportion of two colonies
to every four.
Seventh, Beginners should always
commence the business with a few
colonies, increasing their number as
he increases in knowledge and Prac-
tice.
Eighth, Bees should not be
handled or disturbed any more than
is necessary in the labors of the
apiary,
Ninth, Queenless colonies will
unless supplied with a queen ol
material from which one can be
reared, dwindle away and soor
perish or fall prey to robbers.
Tenth, The formation Of new
colonies should generally be confined
to the honey gathering season.
Eleventh, The best way to secur
large yields of honey is to keep you
| colonies strong.
With this paper bring my article
on "Bee Culture" to a close. Hopin
that they have been read with inter
est and profit by my bee-keepinl
friends of the News, I, for the pres
ent at least, bid them adieu.

goaded to their work during the last half of
the time. AS conducted, in sitting at
mosphere, reeking with vile odors of tobacco
smoke and every conceivable intoxicating
liquor from the ten thousand dirty mouths and
poisoned Threats, there is barbarism about
it that disglaces the people who tolerate it.
So far from encouraging the art of
pedestrianism it is simply an arrangement
to facilitate betting; and even in that feature
it is fraudulent through and through, the
race being thrown in favor of those managing
the scheme. There is no true test of en-

THERE may be those who, in the smoke and
dust of presidential year. fail to detect any
signs of the approach of the millennium. Such
near-sghted persons WILL therefore, be gratified
to learn this great event is slowly coming this
way, and, if Rev DR.. Wild, congregational min
lister of Toronto is not mistaken, will arrive
during the year 1898, just fifty-one years hence.
Most of the people alive will not, of course,
be present ON the opening night on account of
the date being set so far ahead; but they may
permit themselves to dismiss all fears that the
world is on the way to the bow-wows Even if the
wrong candidate is nominated, or the right one
fails to be elected the consequences can not be
fraught with such momentous peril to the
state. The tariff question itself can not ruin us
all with its ups and downs in ffty-one years.
There is time enough in which to &C
complish a good deal of mischief to be
sure, but not enough for total de-
struction. With the knowledge that the mil
!ennium will be on hand within comparatively
brief period and before experiments in states
manship can result fatally, even
alarmists can afford to become calm
and enjoy preliminary season of peace
Dr. Wild says that after the millennium will be
cessation of births and prolongation of human
life, when man will be called child at one
