Tr.a,ncn, for Bee s,inr..

II is common mistake TO suppose that
an angry bee is certain 10 sting ON alight-
ing upon a human hand. On the coma
trary, she will always examine the skin
very carefully first with the palpi- very
delicate and nervous feeling organs,
which are situated near the sting. Il
may seem that she stings at once, and
without care or reflections; but bee can
10 n great deal in u very short space u
time. in proof Of which it may bc men,
toned that 'she can flap her wings more
than 400 times per second, and that each
flap involves the extension and contrac-
tion, through nerve impulse, Of the
muscles employed in tho wing move
ments." This being the case, as Mr.
Cheshire says, 1--WE shall sec at once that
he mo time difficulty Is removed" 4"
When person has been stung by bee,
he should remove the sting Immediately.
..if possible, by the nail. running II in
the direction opposite TO that by which
il has entered" On no account let him
take hold Of the sting with his thumb
and finger or "a forceps, for then he will
probably squeeze more Of the virus into
the wound fBom the poison bag. which
Is generally left attached to the sting.
Although the virus Of q bee sting is u
strong acid, It does not always follow
that an alkali will cure il. Much depends
upon the temperament and constitution
Of the patient, and while arnica mon
tana and lcdum palustre will give relief
in many cases, In others they are in
furious. We may discuss the subject Of
bee stings by giving the young bsekeeper
two pieces Of comfort-the first, that at
swarming times bees arc nearly always
in an exceedingly good temper; the scc-
ond. that each time he Is stung he will
probably become less susceptible to the
effects Of bee poison. Saturday Review.

.. Our Diet Too s.rongs

The idea Is beginning to gain vogue,
not only among vegetarians by principle.
but with others who have never con.
sidered the subject In the light that the
vcgetarians do. that our diet Is altogether
too strong in the matter Of the more
heating meats; 80 much Is this the case
that II Is maintained that mild wines do
really less harm to the general system
than flesh that is loaded with red blood.
This strong meet, such. for instance. as
beef. the eating Of which, it is said. fire.
quently generates too hot blood, gives us
our reckless activity, our intensity, and
many of our new diseases. White meats.
vegetables, oils and fruits, In long tried
use among the ancients. are In this view
a safer and wholesomer dict than that
which we have 80 long considered tho
best to be had. Whether tlH facts and
their infcrences are correct or not, they

Gen. Gran, and His uor.c..

Gen. Grant was noted for horseback
riding. and posed more than once for an
equestrian statue. lis favorite horse was
Cincinnati, and was very noted horse.
chiefly because the president rode him.
President Grant had large number Of
horses in his stable, but. in the interest
Of truth, It must be said that any compe-
tent judge Of horsefesh would not point
TO them ( tth pride. Candor compels me
to say that they were Of all sizes, shapes
and conditions, excepting such as the
president Of the United States should
own. In this connection It might be re-
marked that the horses the sultan Of
Turkey presented to Gen. Grant, as well
rs those made a gift TO James Gordon
Bennett, were anything but crcditable

II you will take any good and popu-
lar novel, you will almost always find
that the story In its simple form Is quite
old. II Is the setting which makes It
new. Love, constancy, courage, faith.
patience. endurance, forgiveness, and
their opposi:es, are themes which are as
old Us the green hills. In skillful hands
they are ever new. The generations
come and go; with oil Of them in sue
cession the old stories arc acted again;
In every one the old stories are told again
by novelist. poet, dramatist and painter.
Do not strive, therefore, too arciously
about getting an original story. Be con-
tented at the outset with simple theme.
On the other hand, do not take one which
has been recently used, and with great
success. Walter Besant in London At

houses in the country, ehould be q
competent judge. There will be three
large store rooms in front, two main
entrances to the auditorium, and one
to the gallery. The excavation will
probably be commenced this week
and will be under the direction OF DR..
Burbank.
To the theatre proper there will be
twenty-one independent exits and the
entire building, which will have a
seating capacity Of two thousand, can
be vacated in sixty seconds. The in
terror outside of the stage and apart
ments, will be divided into an audi
torium, balcony and gallery. The
auditorium will be eigh.y-two feet
square, the stage forty-fve feet deep
and seventy feet wide in the clear.
The latter will be separated from the
hall by brick fire wall extending
above the roof and fire proof drop
curtain, which will be 3ox32 feet.
The paintings and decorations will
be executed by the most en-
eminent artists in the East. For
stage convieniences the building will
excel any in the United States.
Twenty elegant India booths will add
to the magnificence. There will be a
commodious green-room, handsomely
furnished, and sixteen large, we'll
ventilated and well lighted dressing
rooms above the stage, together with
four minstrel rooms below. In addi-
ton, it is proposed to have large
property and scene-room.
On each side OF the foyer there will
he large, elegantly fitted parlors, one
for ladies and the other for gentle
men, each connected with toilet
rooms. The parlors will be furnished
with the finest and latest designs in
hardwood furniture, mantels and bev-
eled plate mirrors. ST..
The arrangement of the ceiling of
the auditorium will be a departure
from any thing in the country land will
be in the shape of succession of one
half circular sounding boards, defect
ing the waves of sound to the lower
part of the house. The entire build
ing will be lighted with incandescent
electrict lights, the local plant being
situated in the building. The lights,
instead of proceeding from the old
time chandelier, will be part and
parcel OF the decorations. The archi-
lecture of the entire building exterior
and interior, will be in the East In
dian style, and the decorations and
furnishings of the house will harmon
ize with these features. The color
ings Of both the decorations and fur
nishings will be in quiet tones
soft shades OF terra Gotta and
old gold and shades of bronze pre-
dominating. The stage will be sup
piled with complete outfit of scenery
and stage machinery. All the interior
scenes will be supplied with three
pair Of fats, thus enabling the stage
carpenter to make unique and attract
i've stage settings. The house will be
supplied with a system of ventilation
which will insure the rapid change OF
air, the entire supply being renewed
every fifteen minutes. 1t is proposed
to have the building finished in from
i've to six months. Los Angeles is to
be congratulated on such an ac-
q ouisition.
