THE APIART,
Practical Bee Culture.

The principal object of the bee keeper
Is, of course, to secure as much surplus
honey from each colony as possible. 1t
is well-known fact to the apiarist that
a strong colony of bees will store three
or four times as much surplus honey if
they go through the season without get
ting the swarming impulse. For the
last twenty-five years the bee keepers
have been attempting to prevent swarm
ing by fighting the effect, instead of in
terioring or trying to arrest the cause of
the swarming.
There are many fixed laws of nature
inviting our careful study. Let us ex-
anime a few in connection with the
honey bee. The honey bee can live
only III colonies, and swarming is ma

and replenish the earth with the honey

methods to prevent swarming, but none
have proved satisfactory. l finally com

studying the nature and habits of the
bee, allowing them to work according to
their instinct.
Swarming may sometimes be prevented
or put of by several different methods.

Horse Racing in Buenos Ayres
From the New York Tribune.

fEUm tIlG new 1OIh AA4buhS'
"You North Americans don't know
anything about the gambling feature OF
horse racing" said an adopted son OF
South America at the Fifth Avenue Ho-
tel yesterday. you kick up terrible
rumpus when one of your plungers
makes bet of $4,000 on race. Down
in the Argentine Republic they would
laugh at that sort of plunging. Those
fellows make no bones of putting up
100000 at a whack when they think
they've got good thing. They are the
most daring gamblers in the world. A
year ago one of them sent to England
and paid 5000 guineas for a horse that
he wanted to win just one race with.
The animal arrived in good shape and
walked away with the field at three TO
one, making the owner half a million
richer than he was before. A great
many horses viii be shipped there by
and by from the United States. The
business has begun already on a small
| scale, consignment of trotters and
runners picked up around New York
being on the way there now.

Miss Victoria Vests Romance,

From the Fhiladelphia Ilmes.
The departure OF Miss Victoria Sack
ville-West is a sad disappointment to
several of the bachelor ENJOYS and
secretaries of legations. She had many
suitors for her hand, but her heart had
it's preference, which she could not
show. The young diplomat was hand
some, of good family and brilliant, with
the best of prospect in his career, but
there were reasons not relating to the
young lady why she could not reclpro-
this, and until it does the daughter of
Lord Sackville and the mistress of knole
will devote her thoughts to the many
kind acts which fill up her life and make
it useful and to the cares of her father s
household

"ThiefCatcher."

The rattan which is used in this coun-
try as the material of chairs and other
articles OF furniture is put 10 great va
flety oil uses IN the countries where 1t
grows. In the Philippine Islands the
natives use rattan To tie together the
poles that form the framework of their
houses, to fasten on the attaps OF palm
leaves which cover the roof and sides,
IN making their boats, and in almost
every place where we would use nails.
They also use it to hang clothes on to
dry, to tie up bundles, and to suspend
articles from the roof
For all these purposes the stems are
slit into slender strands, which are,
nevertheless, very strong. Vines an
inch III diameter are so strong that they
are used in dragging logs out Of the
woods.
| once saw four buffaloes hitched, one
ahead of another, and all pulling by
would drag the log a few yards, and
then stop to rest till the shouting OF
their drivers started them again.
But the most curious office of the rat
tan Is that of the thief catcher. The
main stems which run along for several
yards a little above the ground, are
many OF them quite smooth, but they
send out slender tendrIls that are close
~ beset with short and stout, but very
sharp thorns, arranged in whorls, anC
pointing back toward the base
These tendrils, or feelers, catch hold
OF anything soft that comes in contac
with them, and the only way for man
to get loose when caught, is TO stop and
pull the tendril forward
The thief catcher" is made by bind
ing lot of these tendrils to the tine
of a forked stick, the thorns all pointing
back toward the crotch. The handle Il
five or six feet long.
An officer armed with one of these in
struments goes to arrest a desperate
man, whom he might not dare to APP
proach without it. If he can thrust i
on the man, there is no chance of es
cape, for the more he wriggles anC
twists to get away, the more firmly h'
is caught.

Couldn't Recall His Child's Name
From the Americas (Ga.) Republican


A gentleman from an adjoining county
walked into an insurance office here
Yesterday and took out policy for a
good amount upon his life. As his eight
children were to be his benefciaries in
case of his death, it was necessary that
their names be written upon the policy,
and he was accordingly asked by the
agent to write them down. He started
and got along very well on the first
seven, but on the eighth name he made
a break. He scratched his head in Il
perplexed manner and went carefully
over the list a second and third time,
but it was no use. "WeII, don't know
that young ones name," he said in des-
peration. 81 knowed 'em all by heart
when | left home this mornin'." But
in apite of all efforts to recall the name
of No. s he finally had to give it up, and
actually went out in search of a neigh
Dor who knew the family we'll IN order
20 find out the name of his own child.
