OUEEN-RAiSING.
A Simple and Approved Method of Rais-
ing Queens Artifcially.

A Simple and Approved Method of Rails
ing Queens Artificially.
In the matter of rearing queens, there
are two methods, which we will style
artificial and natural. Artificial queens,
raised from artificial cells. Natural
queens, raised from natural cells, as
when swarming.
In raising queens artificially there are
several wavs. of which the following is
probably as good as any other, and can
be carried on any time during the sea-
son, from May to October.
Select colony from which you wish
to breed, being careful to examine and
see that they have plenty of young brood
and eggs. Remove the queen, and, in
order to save her, take out a frame of
Matching brood and adhering bees at the
same time. Place these with the de-
posed queen in new hive and in new
location. You can build this up to any
strength by inserting frames of brood
from other colonies. The colony left
uueenless will at once start a number of
queen cells, visible in three or four days.
It is hardly necessary. in this enlight-
ened day of ours, to state that the young
queens thus forming are reared from
eggs that would otherwise have Matched
worker bees had not the queen been re-
moved. At the end of eight days the
queen cells formed will be capped
over, eight days more. or six
teen DAYS in all, and these cells
will hatch out perfect queens.
Between the time in which the queen
cells are capped over and Matching time
is the time to make good use of them.
When they are about twelve days old,
cut out the cells, inserting each in a
frame of bees and brood taken from
some other colony.
Be careful in selecting frames OF
brood not to get the queen, as she would
soon DESTROY the cell containing your
yotng queen. After having inserted
your queen cells in frames of young
Matching brood and bees, place these
frames Zone in each hive) separately,
forming small colonies, generally
called nuclei. With each colony SO
formed place an empty frame of comb
and a division board to contract the
space to suit the size of the colony
formed. You can, if you wish, take
frames of brood or honey from other
colonies, instead of the empty frames,
building up to full colony, but, if
vou have made good selections of brood
frames this will not be necessary, as
they will soon multiply and increase
to full size. If you have been success
full in your transferring you will have
quite a number of two or three frame
nuclei, just right for additional queen
raising. In two or three days the young
lueens will be out and in ten davs
they will be laying and ready for sale.

LINCOLN RELICS.
Some Interesting Purchases Recently Made
I'm Springfield Ill.


Mr.. John w. Keyes, of Chicago, has
purchased from Hon. William H. Hern-
don, of Springfield, H., the old book
case and table that for many long years
were used by Mr.. Lincoln during the
time that the firm of Lincoln & Hern-
don were practicing law as partners in
this city, and which partnership never
was legally dissolved until the assassina-
ton and death of Mr.. Lincoln. The
bookcase and table Mr.. Lincoln pre-
sented to Mr.. Herndon, together with
the books contained therein, when he
was elected President in 1860 One OBJ
iect Mr.. Herndon has in disposing of
them to MIR. Keyes is that they are 60
ing into the hands of parties who will
preserve and take the very best care of
them, and eventually place them in the
care and custody of the State or Govern
ment, Situated rs he is at present, he
is not in a position to take care of them,
and the remuneration received from the
sale will aid him in his present straitened
circumstances. He is merely transfer
ing the care and custody of the articles
to others better able to preserve them
for posterity. Mr.. Keyes has also pur-
chased from Mr.. Allen Miller, of Peters
burg, Menard County, ILL.,, formerly a
citizen of Springfield, what is left of the
parlor furniture of Mr.. Lincoln which
Mr.. Miller purchased when the former
removed to Washington in 1861.
a singular circumstance happened in
connection with this furniture. About
three years ago Mr. Miller built and
completed an elegant brick residence in
Petersburg, and had just moved into it.
While at supper cyclone destroyed the
house without injury to any of the fam
lily, the building being totally demol-
ished. The large Lincoln mirror which
hung in the parlor was not injured, al
though the walls around it were blown
down. 1t looked as though Providence
considered it too sacred to be destroyed,
and also the marble-top table of the
parlor set. After Mr. Miller purchased
the furniture and was having it re-
moved from the Lincoln residence, Mr..
Lincoln requested Mrs. Miller to let the
table and one of the chairs remain, as he
had some very important writing that
he must attend to before he left the city,
and would like to have the table to
write upon, to which she consented.
Consequently the very last writing that
Mr.. Lincoln did before he left Spring
field for the last time was upon this
identical table and seated upon one of
these chars.
To make Mr.. Keyes' collection more
complete, Major Alfred A. North. of this
city, presented him with one of the old
cushions of Mr.. Lincoln's carriage,
which was used by him and family for
over twenty years, and was broken up
and distributed as relics some years
ago. Major North securing one of the
cushions. which he has been using him.

How a French Gardener Destroys His
Epicurean Mo1d-Turners.
A conscientious French gardener sus-
pended his chronic war upon the mole
for one entire season, to give that much
detested animal a fair chance at the
white grubs Science had asserted that
the mole was an epicure in grubs, and
our gardener had faith in science. His
garden WAS infested with grubs, and
here was his opportunity. AT the end
of the season he recorded the fact, with
sad solemnity, that the mole lived on
such good terms with the grubs that he
had two enemies in place of one Not
that the mole is not fond of grubs; but
give him free range of the salad and
berry beds and he acquires more refined
tastes. Unluekily the mole seems to
have no enemy, to speak OF, except
man. and man often makes pltifu
show against him with his poisons and
his traps. The French gardener referred
TO is eager for information on the mole
question. But while waiting for points
frosa other victims, he offers the follow
inc as the best remedy: Take as many
walnuts as there are mole holes, add
handful of hemlock leaves (Cont"ta
ulacuIatuna). boil in water for an hour
and-and-a-half, make the paste into bull
lets and put in the holes. If the paste
be too liquid spread it on a flat stone or
bit of slate. The mole eats greedily Cor

you one dollar that if you give me a
meal L will pay you within one week

prietor, but I'll go you one just for

known as the compound engine. have
accomplished very great saving in the
average amount of fuel used. To show
what progress has been made in this
particular, the following facts may be
quoted: The paddle-wheel steamer Sco-
tia, of the Cunard line, put afoat in
| 1862, and at that date regarded as the
best and latest type of engineering skill,
a vessel having midship section of 041
square feet, consumes 160 tons of coal
| per day, or 1,600 tons on the ten days
passage between New York and Liver
pool. The City Of Brussels, a screw
steamer of the Inman line, put afioat
in 1869. and having midship section
| of 909 square feet, consumed 50 tons
per day, or $50 tons during the passage.
| The Spain, a screw steamer of the Ma
tional line, launched in 1871, with COM
pound machinery, and the longest ves-
sci on the Atlantic. having length of
425 feet inches on the load line, beam
nodded 43 feet, draft, loaded, "a feet 9
inches, made the passage in September
with 53 tons of coal per day, or $50
tons on the ten days run. All these
three vessels had the same aver
age speed, and only Il small
percentage of the gain in
fuel consumption could be ascribed to
the finer lines and proportions, and
therefore better sailing quality of the
latter constructed vessels. Still another
recent instance is given of a steamer
having the compound engine which
used but forty tons of coal per day. The
four-cylinder compound engines of the
White Star line use more coal per day
but make faster average trips, so that
the aggregate is about the same for ves-
sells of the same relation of average
power per tonnage. To illustrate even
more forcibly the success of modern inn
provements in utilizing the power of
coal we may mention an instance put
on record in 1915. This was not one of
the first-class steamers, trinity built
with especial reference to making good
speed, but large vessel, constructed
particularly for the conveyance of bulky
cargoes. 1t was the steamer Burgos,
which left England for China with a
cargo weighing 5000, 600 pounds. Dur
ing the first part of the voyage, from
Plymouth to Alexandria, the consump-
ton of coal was 2S2, 140 pounds, the dis
tance being $3.50 miles; the consump-
ton per mile was, therefore, only $50
pounds, and the consumption per ton Of
cargo per mile OOPS pound; in other
words, half an ounce of coal propelled
one ton of cargo mile. This is record
ed as the most successful instance yet
known of utiling the energy of fuel in
sportation.-Ch Chicago Inter- Ocean.

TEA DYSPEPTICS,
The Effects of Tea and Coffee on the Diges
tive Organs.

The Effect, of Tea and Coffee on the Diges-
tive Organs.
1t has occurred also to the writer to
make many observations as to the cir
cumstances under which tea and coffee
are found to agree or disagree with diff
ferent persons; in the first place, as Sir
W. Roberts has pointed out, tea, if
taken at the same time as farinaceous
food. is much more likely to retard its
digestion and cause dyspepsia than if
taken little time after eating; and the
custom adopted by many persons at
breakfast, for instance, of eating first
and drinking their tea or coffee after
ward is 4 sensible one: SO also it is bet
ter to take ones tive-O' clock tea with
out the customary bread-and-butter or
cake than with it.
Indeed, while there is little that can
be said against a cup of hot tea as a
stimulant and restorative, when taken
about midway between lunch and din
ner and CithOat solid food. it may, on
the other hand, be a fruitful cause of
dyspepsia when accompanied at that
time ,0ith solid food. 1t is also curious
fact that many persons with whom tea,
under ordinary circumstances, will agree
exceedingly well, will become the sub
jects of tea dyspepsia if they drink
this beverage at a time when they may
be suffering from mental worry or emo
tional disturbance.
Moreover. it is a well-recognized fact
that persons who are prone to nervous
excitement of the circulation and palpi-
tations of the heart have these symp-
toms greatly aggravated if they persist
in the use of tea or coffee as beverage.
The excessive consumption of tea
among the women of the poorer classes
is the cause of much of the so-called
'.heart-complaints' among them; the
food of those poor women consists
largely of starchy substances (bread and
butter chiefly, together with tea, i. e.,
food accessory which is one of the
greatest of all retarders of the diges-
ton of starchy food.
The effect of coffee as retarder of
stomach digestion would probably be
more felt than it is were it not so con-
stantly the practice to take it only in
small quantity after very large meal;
it is then mixed with an immense bulk
of food, and its relative percentage pro-
portion rendered insignificant; and to
the strong and vigorous the slightly re-
tarding effect on digestion it would
then have may be, as Sir w. Roberts
suggests, not altogether disadvantage;
but after aspare meal and in persons
of feeble digestive power the cup of
black coffee would probably exercise a
retarding effect on l.. digestion which
might prove harmful. j. Burney

NAMES OF BATTLES.
Double Naming of Battle-Fields by North
ern and Southern Soldiers.

Double Naming of BattIe-Fields by North
and Southern Soldiers.
The conflict of the 14th of September,
1862, is called the battle of South
Mountain at the North, and the battle
of Boonsboro' at the South. So many
battle-felds of the civil war bear double
names that we can not believe the
duplication has been accidental. 1t is
the unusual which impresses. The
troops of the North came mainly from
cities, towns and villages, and were,
therefore, impressed by some natural
object near the scene of the conflict and
named the battle from it. The soldiers
from the South are chiefly from the
country, and were therefore impressed
by some artificial object near the field
of action. In one section the naming
has been after the handiwork of God; in
the other section it has been after the
handiwork of man. Thus, the first pas
sage of arms is called the battle of Bull
Run at the North-the name of a stream
At the South it takes the name of
Manassas, from railroad station. The
second battle on the same ground is
called the Second Bull Run by the
North, and the Second Manassas hy the
South. Stones defeat is the battle of
Balls Bluff with the Federals, and the
battle of Leesburg with the Con-
federates. The battle called by General
Grant Pittsburgh Landing, a natural
object, was named Shiloh, after church,
by his antagonist. Rosecrans called his
first great fight with Bragg the battle of
Stone River, while Bragg named it af-
ter Murfreesboro village. So Nc
Clellan's battle of the .Chickahominv, a
little river, was with Lee the battle of
Cold Harbor, a tavern. The Federals
speak of the battle of Pea Ridge, of the
Ozark range of mountains, and the Con-
federates call it after Elk Horn, a coun-
try inn. The Union soldiers called the
bloody battle three days after South
Mountain from the little stream, Antie-
tam, and the Southern troops named it
after the village of Sharpsburg. MANY
instances might be given of this double
naming by the opposing forces. Ac-
cording to the same law of the unusual,
the war-songs of people have always
been written by non-combatants. The
bards who followed the banners of the
feudal lords, sang of the exploits, and
stimulated them and their retainers to
deeds of high emprise. wore no armor
and carried no swords. So. too, the |

The Bass Was Too Greedy.
IParis {Mo.} Mercury.l

John Clark, who lives on North River,
Missouri, while chopping wood near the
river Tuesday, heard terrible splashing
in the water. He went to the river bank
and saw large bass floating helplessly
about. He took stick and pulled the fish
ashore, and was surprised to find in its
mouth a good-sized catfish. The horns
of the latter were protruding through the
gills of the bass, and thus both fish were
fastened together in such manner that
they could not be separated.
