Success With Bees.

J. NJ. Clark, of Hlllsdale, Mich.
writes the american Bee Journal:
commenced the season of 1887 with
twenty-three colonies in fair condition,
which built up very strong during fruit
bloom. The honey season opened very
encoursgingly, but from some cause,
even before the drOuth commenced, the
honey-fow slackened up. White
clover bioomed abuDdantly, but yielded
very little honey. Eastwood bloomed
very full but before we could realize its
presence, it was gone. We were hav-
ing quite "bonanza" on sweet clover,
there being about two acres of 1t. II is
growing all along one of the railroads,
but just as we were exulting in our
good fortune, the railroad officials cut
some very nice honey after the rains
commenced, but we did not get anv
buckwheat honey. Now as 10 the re-
suits: 1 extracted !, 500 pounds of ex-
ira nice honey weighing nearly 13
pounds per gallon, for which L have
been receiving an average of Il! cents
per pound also 100 pounds OF comb
honey. 1 increased my aplary TO 43
colonies, and doubled them back to 81
colonies. fed 1G0 pound of granulated
sugar syrup. All Of my colonies are
packed in chaff on summer stands.
Some of my neighbor bee keeper did
much better than /. One harvested
! 1900 pound of comb honey from % co.,
of spring count, but he sold it early for
u! cents per pound. We have one
very enthusiastic bee-keeper IN this
| county, as the following incident will
show: He had great faith IN the
water cure" was sick, and his father
had him packed III wet blankets for a
sweat. Just as the perspiration was
nicely started, he looked out of the
window and saw the bees swarming.
He jumped up, throwing the blankets
! light and lefi, exclaiming : "Out OF
this, out of this - and slipped Into his
clothes, and out after the bees in less
time than it takes me TO write 1t.

The gly Girl.

1t is a strange fact thai the ugly girl
rather favorite than otherwise, al
shougha thing of beauty is joy forever.
When we look at her, says HmpCr'S
Ba-ar, We lament the shape of her nose,
We sigh over the cast IN her eye, we de-
plore the dullness of her complexion,
ye can find nothing to praise but per

Pinching Parsimony.

1t is well and right to be economical,
for economy is at the base ot saving and
comfort and independence. Many a
housewife has wasted away the sub
stance of her husbands earnings, and
many another one has been the me ans
OF enabling him, perhaps forcing him,
to lay by something for a rainy day.
The pride of the thrifty housewife that
boasts that nothing is lost under her
administration of domestic expenditure
and consumption, is familiar 10 all.
Every scrap and thread is utilized by
her and she rivals the inventiveness of
manufacturers in converting wastes
into serviceable use. Poor, hard work
ing men owe IL to their wives economy
that their little homes are their own ;
while others struggle alpng hopelessly
IN the effort to get home, against the
extravagances of their wives.
But economy is not pinchi1g parsi-
monv. Make no mistake about this.
The good housewife who is doing her
best TO make both ends meet, and, If
possible, to save a little out of her hus-
bands earnings, is not 10 be confounded
with the one who is endeavoring to
pinch something ut OF the existence of
her family and herself. The one will
keep her family well but will not waste
the other will try to prevent goodness
from going into life.
An old man worth $50. 900 was declin-
ing in weakness TO the grave and had
been ordered by his physician to take a
little wine. "This is rich living for
me-" he said regretfully, as he was sip
ping the wine and eating a cracker 1;
and he made cure that not a drop re-
maiIed in the glass to be lost. Here
was an economical spirit turned into
parsimopy; and life that had been
industrious and useful, was no doubt
prematurely ended by its pinching
character
Savings made at the expense of starv-
ing the mind and the body are too dear
ly bought. They may be of service
to children and their posterity, but the
sacrifice that creates them has no de-
fense.
There was time when paIsimony did
not look as bad as it does now. 1t had
almost an excuse in a day of poverty
and scarcity, of high prices and small
earnings. But the people who need to
resort to absolute parsimony nowadays
are Few, and those people are usually
the most wasteful and, considering their
means, the most extravagant. The day
os comfort and luxury has come to
most people who would avail themselves
of Il.
a pinched up existence is hardly an
apology for keeping soul and body to-
gether. and person who pinches his
body and soul not only acts like tres
passer upon the domain of life, but by
his conduct endeavors to make himself
a trespasser.

Food AduIferation.

The question of food Adulteration is now
occupying public attention more than ever
before. and organizations are being formed
in almost every State to prevent the sale
of adulteTated food or drink. The follow

for the purity of Speer Port Grape Wine :

Congo Natives Fighting Over River
Horse Killed by White Men.
Lieutenant Won Francois describes a
half savage, half comic occurrence on
the Upper Congo awhile ago that
illustrates tho remarkable fondness OF
the natives OF that region for animal
food. While he was steaming up the
river one day Mr.. Grenfell and he shot
hippopotamus, and the crew drew
the huge animal on shore TO cut
it up. They had not been engaged in
this work more than five minutes be-
fore they were surrounded by a great
crowd Of natives, who watched the
operation with the ksenest interest.
The tongue and the best parts of the
flesh were reserved for tho steamboat
hands, who then left the animal and
gave the natives a chance. N
With upNfted knives the crowd
rushed upon the remains, and began
TO slash away on all sides. Scores Of
the natives could not get near the
body, and they began to push and
pull their more fortunate COM
rades with frantic eagerness.
Those whose knives were within reach
of the coveted flesh knew a good thing
when they had it, and they did not pro-
pose to yield an inch OF ground. They
would slash away for II minute, then
stop to fight the rear guard off, and
thon renew the cutting-up process,
The pushing, struggling, bowling mob
made an exciting scene. Then the un-
fortunatos In the rear unable by dint OF
muscle to gain access to the creature,
gathered hundfuls of sand, which they
showered over tho hippopotamus
butchers, endeavoring to blind them.
So the battle went on until finally
those who were nearest the carcass
rolled 1t over and over into the water
until it was entirely submerged. From
this vantage ground they continued
the work OF cutting up tho animal un.
til every scrap that was edible was
secured, This means that there was
very little left but the skeleton, for the
average Congo native is not at all par
tipular He even cuts up the thick
hide of the river horse into small bits,
and, after boiling IL long time, man
ages to swallow 1t With great apparent
delight.-M Y Sun.

Cox's extraordinary enterprise, which
he set going in I'LL, como rather un-
der the head OF llclacy than swindling,
His fixed idea was to combine the
wealth and luxury OF Asia with the
mechanical inventions of Europe in u
series of extraordinary artificial pro-
ductions. To reaiize his monster
whims he devoted u considerable pri-
vate fortune and an imaginative bent
which was far above the common, and
loaded with his fantastic command the

clockmakers. goldsmiths and jewellers

long, saw himself in possession Of o
vast collection of mlrvels and master-
pieces, finished to the highest perfec-
ton of the art workers powers. Cox's
scheme was to transport all these to
Asia for sale TO Eastern potentates. He,
however, kept the collection-not an
unfit precursor of those modern shows
which we call exhibitions-some nine
wears in London, whore he charged
half guinea for inspecting it. Gold,
silver, diamonds and other stones
were worked into all sorts OF animal

castle six feet high, which cost over

China. But debt, with its lengthening
chain, fatally encompassed the vision
ary; he never could realize more than
a fraction of his large scale Asiatic
programme; only part of his collection
got 20 India and the rest was sold up
in London, Then there appeared in
