ton of the fish. 4 well filed medicine
chest, with q book of instructions for
use, also forms a part of the necessary
provisions for each boat. All these
things having been provided to the sat
isfaction of the inspecting officers, and
duly certified by them to the proper
authorities. permits to depart are de-
delivered to the captains. The boats
then put to sea, and the whole assem-
bled fleet sails direct to Iceland. The
arrival of the expedition off the coasts
of Iceland is an interesting and pleas
ing event to the natives. Very friendly
relations exist between these and the
French fishermen. The Frenchman.
even when he belongs to the lower class
of society, possesses in high degree
the happy art of making himself agree
able to the company into which he is
thrown, and in this respect he compares
favorably with the men of other nations
who repair to these fishing grounds.
The Norwegians, who are the near
neignbors of the Icelanders. excite much
jealousy and animosity by their imperi-
Gus bearing and disregard of the inter-
ests of the Icelanders. But their French
visitors adopt a conciliatory behavior
toward them. and strictly OBJ
serve their laws and customs. So de-
sirous are the French authorities of
gaining and retaining the goodwill of
the Icelanders, that during the season
gunboat is stationed at Reykiavik to
enforce observance of all the require
ments of the country. For this reason,
while the Norwegians are regarded with
small consideration, the French are
heartily welcomed and are left free to
fish how and where they viii. This
kindly feeling shows itself conspicu-
ously in cases of shipwreck, disaster
of no uncommon occurrence. The
sufferers who escape are Hospitality re-
ceived and tenderly cared for. When,
therefore, the sails of the expedition APP
pear on the horizon, and the long-de-
serted offing becomes again thickly
dotted with the tricolor-bearing craft,
there is much rejoicing among the
jewellers along the coast, and every OPP
portunity is taken of testifying the sim
cerity of their feelings by affording
whatever aid may be needed. Genhe-

THE BUSY BEE.
The Pec11iarities of the Queen, Drones
and Honey-Bees.

The Pecaiiarities of the Queen, Drones
and Honey-Bees.
4 swarm of bees contains one queen,
thousands of workers, and in the sum-
mer season 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
sting. yet may be handled with inn
punlty, for. except in combat with a
rival queen, she viii not use it. The
working bee is much smaller than the
queen. and on it deyolves all the labor
of the swarm. 1t possesses 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 raise a large
number of these non-producers. as it
takes great deal of honey to support
them in idleness for several months
The natural increase of the honey-bee
is very imperfectly understood. The
queen LAYS all the fertile eggs in the
swarm. A high temperature will for
ward. while low temperature will re-
tard the maturing of the brood. The
controlling of swarming is now per-
fectly understood, and it is important
that the beekeeper should become ac-
quainted with the best method--Sc0t-

POLITICAL PRISONERS.
How They Are Treated in the French stat
Prison at Clairyaux,

Prison at Clairvaux.
As to US. the ''politicals. we had
special egimen-namely, that of pris-
oners submitted to preventive incarcer-
alton. We kept our own dress; we
were not compelled to be shaved. and
we could smoke. We occupied three
spacious rooms. with separate small
room for myself, and had little gar
den, some fifty yards long and ten
yards wide, where we did some garden
ing on a narrow strip of earth along
the wall, and could appreciate, from
our own experience, the benefits of an
intensive culture" One would sus-
pect me of exaggeration if | enumerated
all crops of vegetables we made in our
kitchen garden. less than fifty square
yards. No compulsory work was inn
posed upon US; and my comrades
all workmen who had left at home their
families without support-never could
obtain any regular employment;
They tried to sew ladies'
stays for an undertaken of
Clairvaux. but soon abandoned the
work, seeing that with the deduction of
three-tenths of their salaries for the
State they could not earn more than
from three to four pence day. They
gladly accepted the work in pearl shell,
although it was paid but little better
than the former, but the orders came
only occasionally, for few days. Over
production had occasioned stagnation
in this trade, and other work could not
be done in our rooms, while any inter-
course with the common law prisoners
was severely prohibited. Reading and
study of languages were thus the chief
occupations of my comrades. A work
man can study only when he has the
chance of being imprisoned-and they
studied earnestly. The study of
languages was very successful, and /
was glad to find at Clairvaux a prae-
teal proof of what / formerly MAIN
tanned on theoretical grounds namely,
that the Russians are not the only peo-
pie who easily learn foreign languages.
NV French comrades learned, with
great ease, English. German Ital-
ian and Spanish; some OF
| them mastered two languages
during a two years stay at Clairvaux.
Book-binding was among us the most
| beloved occupation. Some instruments
were made out of pieces of iron and
| wood; heavy stones and small carpen-
| tiers presses were resorted to; and as
we finally obtained-about the end of
the second year-some tools worth this
name, all learned book-binding with the
facility with which an intelligent work
man learns a new profession, and most
| of US reached great perfection in the
art. A special warden was always kept
in our quarters. and as soon as some of
us were in the yard. he regularly took
| his seat on the steps at the door. In the
night we were locked up under at least
| six or seven locks. and moreover. a
round of warders passed each two hours,
and approached each bed in order to
ascertain that nobody had vanished. A
rigorous supervision, never relaxed. and
maintained by the mutual help of all
wardens. is exercised on the prisoners
as soon as they have left the dormi-
tories.-Prince Krapotkine, in the Nine

When and How the Work Should tho
Done-SeIection of Trees.
If the acre has been enriched and
plowed twice deeply, little more is nee
essary in planting than to excavats
hole large enough TO receive the roots
spread out in their natural positions.
Should no such thorough and general
preparation have been made, or if the
ground is hard, poor and stony, the
owner will find it to his advantage to
dig a good-sized hole three or four feet
across and two deep, filling in and
around the tree with fine rich surface
soil. IF he can obtain some thoroughly
decomposed compost or manure, for IN
stance the scrapings of barn-yard,
or rich black soil from an old pasture,
to mix with the earth beneath and
around the roots, the good effects viii
be seen speedily, but in no instance
should raw manure from the stable, or
ANYTHING that must decay before becom-
ing plant food, be brought in contact
with the roots. Again repeat my eau
ton against planting too deeply-one OF
the commonest and most fatal errors.
Let the tree be set about as deeply as it
stood before removal. 1.-THE tree be plant
ed early in spring, as it should be, there
will be moisture enough in the soil, but
when planting is delayed until the
ground has become rather dry and
warm, pail of water poured about its
roots when the whole has been nearly
filled will be beneficial. Now that the
tree is planted, any kind of coarse ma
nure spread to the depth of two or three
inches on the surface as mulch is very
useful. Stake at once to protect against
the winds Do not make the common
mistake of planting too closely. OBJ
serve the area shaded by fully grown
trees, and you will learn the folly of
crowding. Moreover. dense shade
about the house is not desirable There
should be space for plenty of air and
sunshine. The fruit from one well-de-
veloped tree will often more than sup
ply family, for ten or fifteen barrels of
apples is not an unusual yield. The
standard apples should be thirty feet
apart Pears, the dwarfer growing
cherries, plums. etc, can be grown i'm
the intervening spaces. In ordering
from the nurseries insist on stra light,
shapely and young trees, say three years
from the bud Many trees that are sent
out are small enough, but they are old
and stunted- Also require that there
should be an abundance of fibrous and
unmutilated roots. --E. p. Roe, tn Hdr-

More silver Discussion.

To the Editor of the Globe:
In your paper of Jan. Is Mr.. w. W.

cents per ounce on the value of silver
during the year 1885," Will Mr.. Williams

the silver was measured? If he means 10
tell the readers of The GLOBE that silver
has declined measured by gold, we will all
admit it. If he means silver has declined
measured by what it will buy of every
known article-gOld alone eXcepted-then
we wish to take issue with him. For il can
be shown, and has been many times i'm con-
gress. that silver will buy more now than
in 1870. when silver was worth more than
gold. Now, to add 20 per cent. more sill
yer is to make the debtor class pay 20 Der
cent. more than they agreed to pay. Is
this right? Is it honest? Is it Just? Sen

more of all he needs than it would in 1s7O?''
Senator Evarts of New York says it cannot
be answered. We would like to hear Mr..
Williams. For our part, would like to see
the coinage of both gold and silver stopped
and the government to issue a bill on the
deposit of 4l215 grains of silver bullion OIL
its equal in gold bullion-no more as that
would be robbery; no less as that would be
