A PARL0R ROMANCE.

Everybody said they were made cx-
prcssly for each other. Even the bronze
clock on the mantcl said so, and this had
more weight than the statement of any
one else. The clock was an oracle. OF
all the ornaments in the room he was the
only one who was treated with respect
by the houscmaid. Then, too, he was
consulted by the man who owned the
house, who set his watch by the gilt
hands which moved with unvarying reg
ularity around his circular face Thus
it was only natural that the other orna-
ments should regard his word as little
less than law. The very day these two
were brought into the room-he, short,
corpuent terra Gotta figure of foreign
troubadour, and she, n slender damscl of
his own nationality-thc clock nodded
to the japanese vase on the centre table
and observed that if he knew anything
this couple were made expressly for each
other. There were great many reasons
why he should have formed such an
opinion. In the first place they appeared
to be very happy in each others society.
He seemed to be proud of her grace, and
she looked as vain of his manly vigor as
though he had been real flesh and blood
man, instead of very commonplace
earthcn manikin. But love is blind,
even in parlor ornaments, and in her
fond eyes he was perfection. For long
time they lived entirely for each other.
lie heard her faintest whisper, and the
glanccs which passed between them
would have melted anything that hap
pened to stand in their way like so much
fire. As a matter Of course such open
devotion could not escape the notice OF
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1886-02-03
Henry TyrreU, in Wide Awakc,
Turile-Ta king.

A South American traveller has wit.
messed extraordinary scenes among the
Conibo Indians. The idea Of being run
over by turtle is strikingly novel to US
who are accustomed to regard the hard
shclled reptiles as slow going. He says:
'In the night the turtles come out Of the
river in large numbers to lay their eggs.
The Conibos, sQuatting or kneeling un-
der their leafy sheds, and keeping pro-
found silence await the moment for ac-
ton. The turtles who separate them
selves into detachmcnts on leaving the
water, dig rapidly with their fore feet
trench often 400 yards long, and always
four feet broad by two deep. They ap-
ply themselves to their work with sucli
zeal that the sand flies about them and
envclops them as in fog, As soon, as
they are satisfied that their trench is
large enough, they deposit in it their
soft 'hcllcd eggs to the number Of from
forty to seventy, and with their hind
feet quickly fill up the trench. In this
contest of padding feet moro than one
turtle, tumblcd over by their compan'
ions, rolls into the trench and is buried
alive. Half an hour is enough for the
accomplishment Of this task. The tur-
ties then make a diSordcrly rush for tho
river. Now the moment has arrived for
which the Conibos have anxiously
waited. At a given signal the whole
band suddenly rise from their lurking
places and dash off in pursuit Of the am
phibia, not to cut off their lrtrcat-.for
they would themselves be tramplcd nm
der foot by the rcsistlcss squodrons--but
to rush upon their hanks, seize them by
their tails and throw them over on their
backs. Before the turtles have disar-
pcarcd thousand prisoners often remain
in the hands of the ossailants."

ABOUT BEES.


Some Mistakes Committed by sIoyenly O,
Careless Bee-keepers.
The statement is made that careless.
lazy or slovenly persons should not at
tempt to keep bees. The care of an
apiary is work for the brain as well as
for the hands and feet.
Every bee master should take special
pains in spring to ascertain constantly
the amount Of store each hive contains.
If he has uncapped most of the honey,
and this has resulted in q larger supply
being required to maintain the increas-
ing number Of bees, it is evident the
hive will starve unless strip is applied
to it, or honey in considerable quantity
is being gathered. A stimulated hive
requires additional care in this respect,
and its wants must be supplied artiti.
cially, if they are not satisfied naturally.
All necessary handling Of bees should
be done with the utmost rapidity, and
with just as little disturbance of the az
engagements of the bees as possible. To
this end all arrangements of racks and
boxes should be easily adjusted, so that
in removing surplus the bees need to
be exposed rs little and for as short Il
time a. possible. If a hive is kept open
for a long time, while complicated GIN
cracks are torn apart and fitted togcth-
er again, robbing is apt to be induced
in seasons of the best honey flow, and
the workers soon find out that their at
tention is wanted at home to protect
the stores, and to re-establish the de-
stroyed order Of the hive, even if the
decentralization is not communicated to
all other colonies, and a cons cquent
serious loss of honey is the result

A SENSIBLE FARMER.
He Proves That Kindness Only Is Neces,
sary to Teach Calves to Drink.

He Proves That Kindness Only Is Neces,
sary to Teach Calves to Drink.
Every calf must have its neck
broke before it can get its nose down
into a pail said an old farmer as he
stood astride a young calf, having just
been doing his best to accomplish the
feat above alluded to. ] felt as if
would not have been as much excited
as he was for the calf.
( am a comparatively young farmer,
but have never had any trouble teach
ing calves to drink. First, l take them
away from the cow before they get
their first meal. After a few hours,
milk the COW and take the milk to the
calf, wetting the hand in it and putting
it to the calf's mouth. The calf will
get a taste of the milk, and while suck.
ing your fingers bring your hand down
into the milk. Then gently withdraw
your fingers when up will come the
calf's head. Repeat the operation.
Keep cool and good-natured. A.
soon as the calls nose gets into the
milk withdraw your fingers from its
mouth, but keep your hand against its
nose. Keep good-natured.. Don't
bother too long the first time. A few
hours after try it again. As oon as
the calls nose gets into the milk slip
your fingers out of the mouth but let
them rest against the nose. Keep
good-natured. Any cxtravagant ex.
pressions are completely lost on our
young friend at this early stage in its
history. Never force its head down
into the pail. By following the above
plan, the fourth feed, at the farthcst,
has always found my calves able to get
the milk out of the pail without any.
thing more than q start on my part.
But l have always kept ~good-naturcd
when teaching young calves to drink
