In deciding California land case the Sec
rotary of thu interior holds that a disposal of
land by deed made under threats and through
fear Of great bodily harm, pending a home
stead application therefor, is not such aliena-
tion as constitutes violation of section 2291
of the revised statutes, and therefore not
such sale as would defeat home stead entry,
or prevent the issuance of patent Hereunder.
Such sale, male under duress, is void and
without legal effect.

Emperor williams Oil-Lamp.

The study-iamp on Emperor vii.
liam's work table is simple oil-lamp OF
pattern such as since the introduction
of petroleum lamps can hardly be met
with on the table of the humblest citi-
Zen of Berlin. The following incident
may account for the non admittance of
the improved petroleum lamp into the
historical corner room of the imperial
palace. The emperor, whose simple
and economical habits are well known,
has for years been accustomed to screw
down the wick whenever he ceases writ
ing or reading. or leaves the room.
When the petroleum lamps finally came
into general use, the emperor's valet,
krause, brought one and put it on the
workable. True to bis habit, his im-
perial master screwed down the wick on
leaving off writing, and, as a matter of
course, the room was soon filled with an
almost insupportable smoke, which
greatly affected the nose and eyes of the
monarch, and necessitated the opening
of doors and windows. Krause finally
volunteered tie remark: "No, your
majesty, this sort of lamp will not suit. 4"
Dul Nuat are We 10 40, hEdus6 hdu
we better get our oil-lamp back again ?
You know my eyes are weaker and re-
qulre brighter light" Well, your
majesty, we can have a new lamp made
with au extra large burner, so as to do
awsy with petroleum altogether. !"
"Quite right, Krause, let us try ii. :"
And krause got lamp of the old pat
tern, and had the burner enlarged to an
almost colossal size, a green glass shade
added 20 it, and to this day the new
lamp, defying all innovations, asserts its
place of honor on the workable of the
most diligent of all monarcbs,

Patience in Bee Culture.

A correspondent of the Indiana Farm
er says that man must have wonder
full abundance of patience and pluck to
succeed in bee culture. ''In opening
hives, taking out and putting in combs,
feeding, dividing, taking off honey, etc. :,
patience and pluck are the elements
most needed to succeed well. / myself
need veil, smoker and the free use
OF my arms, ~and / often find use for a
greater amount of pluck than anything
else, and the longer / work with bees
the more ] have. Do not become
frightened If a bee makes an assault
upon you, and drop what you have and
run, but stand your ground, put your
arms up to your face and you are not
likely to get stung, as bee seems to
have strong aversion TO going into a
small place to sting, and they are not
apt to sting the hand unless Infatuated.
If veil is used and bee happens to
get into it do not jerk it off, but quietly
proceed to get it out, for an imprisoned
bee will not sting unless it gets tangled
up in way which hurts it. | have
found it hard work to keep everything
ready for an emergency snd find myself
caught without things prepared for the
occasion. Such as hives, frames, sec
tions, foundations, ETC., should be pre-
pared during the winter and spring
months so as to be ready at moments
notice. The old and much used plan of
waiting until swarm is in the sir to
make q. hive is very poor plan, aud
not to be tolerated at all. My advice is
TO get everything ready months before
it is needed. yet cannot say that 1 do
this way. 1t is not because 1 do not
advocate the plan or even neglect it, but
