Bees on the Farm.

We have often heard people say, II
mean to have some bees, and / meant
to have had them long before this"
Yet these persons live year after yea1
without them, while their fruit bloom
is poorly fertilized, and the nectar Sc
creted in the flora of their fields and
hedges is left to waste its sweetness.
Bees seem especially designed, in the
economy of nature, to gather UP the
remnants "that nothing be lost" This
was forcibly illustrated the past season,
by the II ports coming in from different
parts of the country Of the large yields
Of honey gathered from wheat stubblc.
When the wheat was cut, before the
straw was fully ripened, sweet juice
oozed out of the straw where it was cut :;
in some instances the juice was so plan-
tiful that a clear drop Of juice ran out
of every stubble, and some filed the
upper joints and ran down the st17bble.
1t is a very rare season indeed
that bees cannot secure enough
honey from some source to sup
port themselves. We have many times
been Respondent, thinking that we
would get no surplus and have to feed
our bees their winter stores, when, all
at once there would come flood OF NEG
tar from some unlocked for source. A
cool wet spring and summer will pro-
duce no honey, although the bloom
may be abundant, and yet may be just
the condition suitable to produce many
honey yielding fall flowers. During
the last autumn, a la,ge amount of sur,
plus honey was gathered from the diff
ferent varieties Of smartweed (polygn-
NOM. This honey was beautifully
white, and Of a fine nlinty favor. These
plants flourish on ,overlands and damp
lands generally, although they are
found abuIldantly in this locality grow
ing In cornfelds, and where early pota-
toes have been raised. Sweet corn is
growing in favor as q honey plant. A
sweet syrup is secreted in the axis of
the leaves, near the stock, and bees
gather pollen from the tassel. tits sur
prising that farmers will go to town
and buy miserable glucose syrup, when
a heaven born sweet syrup can be had
at their door, not for the asking but for
the taking.

a Little Circus at Home.

Oil City Blizzard.--The following
true story is going the rounds: "There
is child in the oil region two and one
half years old that is rather queer.
Every effort to have it use its legs was
made by his parents but it had no in
clination that, way. It will raise itself
on its hands and move rapidly across
the floor, aud when it has picked up the
object it seeks places it between its feet
and again moves away on It's hands.
The ch1ld's mother says she attended a
circus about three years ago, at which
the atrobatic feats made astrong impress
sion on her mind. She remembered
continually dreaming about the men
walking on their hands" !

Pillow Covers.

A. pretty compromise between white
pillows and colored satin pillow-shams
so liked by many, so scorned by others.
is effected by covering the pillows with
satin first, and then drawing over them
a white linen or lawn slip several inches
shorter than the pillow. A band Of
Hamburg work with deep, sharply &C.
centuated points, headed by a band of
inserting, is stitched upon the slit.
When drawn over the pillow, each
point, barely meeting its opposite point,
is fastened to it by a tiny button and
loop The satin which shows between
the diamond-shaped openings, will look
much handsomer if it is gathered into
a large, loose puff, and the other portion
Of the pillow may be covered with silesia
or cambria the color of the satin.

FAILtD FOR $4,000.

IA. ID. Cooke & Co., Private Bankers of
washir gton, Close Their Doors-Assets
Indefinite In Amount and Value.
WAsHINeToS, Oct. 23.-Ths private bank.
ing-house of II. D. Cooke g. Co.. OF thie city,
displayed the following notice at the usual
opening hour this morning:
Owing to our inability to meet pressing de-
mands. we deem 1t better for the interests of all
concerned TO suspend temporarily.
The firm consists of Fl. d. Cooke, of Wash
iDgton City, and A. G.. Campbell, of Kansas
and Utah. The latter is not in the city and
Mr.. Cooke has remained at his residence this
morning. From Major John W. Carson,
confidential clerk of the house, 1t was learned
that the total indebtedness Of the firm is
$4,000, of which $50, 900 is fully secured
1hs liabilities are nearly all due Washington
CREDITORS. there being only few thousand
dollars due creditors in Baltimore, New
York and Chicago. The Indebtedness to all
Washington bankers is abundantly secured.
Major Carson says there is every reason to
believe that the firm will be able, with the
aid of some indulgence, in time to pay all
liabilities in full.
The concern had capital of from $3.50, 900
to 81, COO, 900, and had almost unlimited
credit It is feared other houses are involved
and will be dragged into bankruptcy. II. ID.
Cooke is q brother of Jay Cooke. whose fail
ure precipitated the panic of 1878. A MEM
Der of the firm stated this morning that the
liabilities do not exceed the assets by more
than S15O,OO0. 1t is thought, however. that
the crash will prove disastrous. Cooke is
gel eral favorite among his brother bankers
here. and it is believed he can raise any
amount necessary to resume business.
The firms unsecured liabilities are placed
by Mr.. Cooke at $4,000. He says the firm
has DO interest in the Washington and Ohio
Railway, although Mr.. Campbell individu-
ably owns one-third of 1t. Mr.. Campbell has
not yet been advised of the suspension.
New YoRK, Oct. 23-The report in Wall
street is that the failure of FL. ID. Cooke &
Co., bankers, OF Washington, Is due to out
side speculation. They have been promoters
of the Florida Canal Company and the
Washington and Ohio Railway, both of
which have been heavy drawers on their re.
sources. Their liabilities are 500, 900, due
to indlyi duals in Washington; assets are
made up of securities of indefinite value.
They have not done any stock business for
some time. Grosbeck & Schley. their New
York correspondents. closed their accounts
some months ago.
