The First Cigar.

The first smoke don't last rs long as
n case of sca-sckness, but while it does
last it is original and unique The new
smoker is no Judge Of cigars. He in
variably takes strong one. He goes
good deal by the box in which he
finds the cigars If Il cigar has Il fancy
paper ring about it he will take it at
any price. If he lives he will know bet
ter. Out on the shady side of the barn
he takes himself and his cigar. He is
afraid that someone will modest him.
He lights the cigar, and holding it in
the most awkward manner between his
fingers puffs and eXpectorates. 1t seems
manly to smoke, and he pictures hiin-
self narrating to his chums how well he
handled himself and his first cigar.
The sensation is not at al pleasant. He
allows longer time TO elapse between
his pufls, and wishes that the cigar
would burn up more rapidly. The
mouth has peculiar taste, which fire.
quent expectations will not remove.
The old familiar fence is turning green.
He sees everything circle around him.
He is better after a while. Flat on his
back on the green sward, he looks up at
the bue heavens overhead and watches
the flcccy white clouds float in many
directions. Dinner has no attractions
for him. Candy would not tempt him
to get up. He hears his name called by
an elder brother. 1t sounds way off, as
if in dream. Nearer and nearer it
comes, and finally the owner of the
voice comes around the corner of the
barn. He guessed the cause, for he
sees the half-smoked cigar. If he is n
real good boy with box full of Sunday
school tickets he will tell his mother,
and the young smoker viii be taken to
the house and lectured for the rest of his
boyhood days. If he is real bad boy,
one whose badness insures his living to
manhood's estate he will get his sick
brother up on the hay in the old barn,
and will tell lib at the table to excuse
his absence. His kindness will cost the
inexperienced smoker later on many
marbles, much candy, and the best Of
everything. He will threaten to inform
their parents many times of the first
smoke, and will scare tho smoker into
many scrapes and much troutlo.-S.

The Busy Bee.

\ swarm of bees contains one queen,
thousands of workers, and in the sum-
mer season q limited number of drones.
The queen is the only fully developed
female in the swarm, and usually lives
from four to six years. The queen has
Il sting, yet may be handled with inn
punity, for, except in combat with q
rival queen, she will not use it. The
working bee is much smaller than the
queen, and on it devolves all the labor
of the swarm. 1t posses an instinct
which is but very little inferior to the
reason in the human family. The drone
is the male bee, and swarms should not
be permitted to rear large number of
these non-producers, as it takes great
deal of honey TO support them in idle
ness for several months. The natural
increase of the honey-bec is very imper-
fectly understood The queen lays all
the fertile eggs in the swarm. A high
temperature will forward, while low
temperature will retard, the maturing
of the brood. The controlling of swarm
ing is now perfectly understood, and it
is important that the bcekeeper should
become acquainted with the best
mcthod.-ScOttiSk agricultural Gazette.

Stealing Ar Invcntion.

A little more than 100 years ago the
manufacture of steel may be said TO
have had a beginning in England.
About that time there was living in
Sheffield, Eng, Il man by the name of
Huntsman. lie was watch and clock
maker, and he had so much trouble in
getting steel that would answer for
his springs, he determined to make
some steel himself. He experimental
for long time in secret, and after many
failures he hit upon process that pro-
duced q superior quality of steel. The
best steel to be obtained at that time
was made'by the Hindoos, and it cost in
England about $4,000 ton; but Hunts
mans steel could be had for $500 ton,
as he found ready market for all the
steel he could make he determined to
keep his invention secret, and no one
was allowed to enter his works except
his workmen, and they were sworn to
secrecy. But other iron and steel MAX
ers were determined to find out how he
produced the quality of steel he made,
and this is how they accomplished it ut
last: One dark and bitter cold wintry
night wretched looking beggar knock
ed at the door of Huntsman's works and
asked shelter from the storm that was
raging without. The workmen, plying
the supposed beggar, gave him permits
sion to come in and find warmth and
shelter near the furnaces. In a little
while the drowsy beggar fell asleep, or
at least seemed to do so, but beneath
his torn and shabby hat his half-shut
eyes watched with eager intent every
movement made by the men about the
furnaces, and as the charging of the
melting pots, heating the furnaces, and
at last pouring the steel into ingots took
several hours to accomplish, it is hardly
necessary to add that the forgotten beg
gar slept long, and, as it seemed, sound
ly, in the corner where he lay. 1t turned
out afterward that the apparently sleep
ing beggar was well-to-do iron maker
living near by, and the fact that he soon
began the erection of large steel works
similar to Huntsman's was good evil
dence that he was poor sleeper but a
good watcher.

From this multiplicity of volcanoes it
results that the ground presents COM
plicated network of ancient and mod
ern laya-flows, crossing one another,
volcanic alluvions, beds of cinders and
lufas, ''bad lands" and an cxtraordi-
nary thermal activity, There also fol-
lows n remarkable frequency of earth
! quakes and subterranean noises, called
retunbos. / estimate the average num-
Der OF shocks felt annually i'm Central
America ut two hundred and fifty Sew
cral conclusions may be drawn from
the study of the twenty-three hundred
and thirty-two earthquakes that have
been registered since the conquest.
First, contrary to the opinion generally
prevailing from Chill to Mexico, the
tremors occur about alike through the
whole year, and not principally at the
transitions'between the rainy and dry
seasons. But, to perceive this clearly,
it is necessary to leave out of the ac-
count some series of earthquakes that
mask the truth, such as that of Deem
Der, 1879, at San Salvador, in which
more than seven hundred shocks occur
red in ten days, and which was the pre-
Jude to the appearance of new volcano
in the center of Lake Ilopango. With
this precauton, n tendency to equality
may be observed between the several
months,a and / am satisfied that term of
four years will be sufficient to make this
equality plain. The same may be said
of the retun1bos. The maximum OF
eruptions appears to occur in July.
Kluge puts it in August for the whole
globe. The coincidence which the same
author has predicted between the maxi
ma of auror@ boreales and sun-spots
and of volcanic and seismic manifesto
tons has not been historically verified
in Central America. The minute study
of twenty years of observations at the
Institute of Guatemala and my own OBJ
servations at San Salvador have proved
to me that, If the movements of the
crust OF the earth are connected with
those of the barometer, the law of the
relation is deeply hidden. / do not

manifestations, quite perceptible in the
stiffness of the night, pass unobserved
amid the hustle of the day. From what
l have seen, think can affirm that
the signs of terror given by domestic
animals are more marked the longer the
shock lasts, and that without reference
to its intensity. "EarthquakeS 10
