Life in a BEEHIVE.
HOW HONEY AMI WAX Il MADE By
THE BUSY LITTLE WORKERS.

The whole atmosphere of the hive
in the summer is one Of hustle and
hurry. The workers hustle day and
night, and work SO hard that when
honey is plentiful in the flowers the
average life OF the workin. bee is rare
Nv over six weeks. 1t is safe to say
| that not one in 5000 bees live to eat
the honey it has toiled so hard to lay
up for the winter. There are usually
about 10000 bees in "A colony or hive,
and they will average in a good season
something like 81 pounds.
1t takes 10000 bees, working ono
entire day, to gather Il single pound
of honey, and to get the sweets they
must rummage 100000 clover
blossoms. Now when VT know that
5000 900 pounds of honey are yearly
produced in the United States, it
becomes a very nice problem to calcu-
late how many bees there are work
ing, say, eight hours'a day.
The bee brings four substances into
the hive and. creates one substance
there. The honey is brought in in a
little sack and stored in one of tho cells
OF the comb. If you'll notice you'll
find the cells slant a little bit, so that
the sweet stuff will not spill till the
cell is full and can be sealed up. This
raw honey has to be stirred and mixed
with formic acid, which the bees jaws
secrete, and frequentley moved from
n cell to another, so as to hasten its
evaporation and thickening. Then.
there is pollen dust from the flowers,
which is used to feed the youn. bee
babies, and is also used for Gaping
over their cells, us it is porous to the
air and is much cheaper than WAX.
Then propolis, or b G glue. is fetched
from the willow, poplar, cottonwood
and balm-of- gilead trees, and is used
to cement cracks and crevices about
the hive. Last of all, water is brought
into the hive to give drink to the ba
bies.
But 0 precious than honey, in
wax. which is really q tallow and not
1t costs twenty pounds of honey
and a long time to make one pound
of wax. The bees eat the honey, and
then hang Quietly in a cluster, wait
ing for the wax to form. 1t is secreted
under little scales on the abdomen,
and is used Immediately. This wax
is not made unless it il actually re-
quired, and never as long as there
are any vacant combs.
1t is this desire to economic in
that makes the bee store it's
in six-sided cell, for when one
cell is built there is one side furnished
for six new cells.-GoIden Days.

clearly and distinctly delivered, assumed his
duties.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Estee's little adj
dress Mayor Roche, Of Chicago, who was the
first delegate to gain recognition, climbed
upon the platform with a silver gavel IN his
hand, and In a brief speech presented it in
behalf Of the city to the chair. 1t was, he
said, not silver alone, but of gold, emblematic
Of the bimetallic basis Of sound national cur
rency.
The appreciation that greeted the gift was
expressed by prolonged cheers, and they
were renewed when Delegate Charles A.
Work, Of Rockford, Ills, took bis place and
presented gavel made from desk in tan
merry in Galena, and which "once belonged
to that superb, magnificent, silent soldier,
Gen. Grant
The chairman in a few well spoken wodrs
thanked the delegations for their gifts. This
done, he laid aside the Michigan and silver
gavels and proceeded to use that associated
with memories of Galena-
Congressman Bayne, Of Pennsylvania, sub
mitted the report Of the committee on rules
The report, after an hour had been con-
sumed in discussing it, was unanimously
adopted, with considerable cheering and
laughter
No response was made when the report Of
the committee ON credentials was called for,
and Mr. Hoar moved recess until 8 p. m.
A resolution was adopted expressing SYM
pathy with the German nation in their dou-
bic loss in the decease OF Emperors William
aud Frederick.
A resolution expressing regret at the death
Of Gems. U. s. Grant, John A. Logan,
Chester A. Arthur and Hon. Roscoe Conk-
ling, was adopted by a rising vote.
At S;47 the chair again called for the
chairman Of the committee on credentials,
and receiving no response, called upon the
committee ON resolutions Mr. Harris, of
North Carolina, responded that the COM
mittee would not be ready tOrepOrt until the
morning
1t was announced that the committee ON
credentials would report in twenty minutes
and one great shout arose for Foraker. A
formal motion that he be invited to speak
was carried by reclamation, and be received
an ovation when he appeared upon the stage
In the course Of his remarks Governor For
aker said that while he could not predict who
would be the nominee for president, he could
define some Of his qualities
In the first place he will be a gentleman That
s 50. That is saying good deal. isn't itg In the
light Of experience speak, Of course. He will
be a man Of good moral character, and he will
have some social standing in the community
where he lives. As some gentleman has inti-
mated here, he will be loyal son of the republic
Congressman Hepburn then read the re-
port Of the committee on credentials which
has already been given.
Then came another debate on the Virginia
delegate question. After several hours Of
ak, some Of which was very spirited, a viva
voce vote on the question of admitting the
Wise delegates in the Second district was
taken, and overwhelmingly carried.

THE COMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS.

It Gives Wise Fourteen Of the Contested
Seats and Malone Eight.
After continuous session Of six hours the
committee on credentials came to an agree
ment upon the Virginia contests. It decided
to recommend to the convention that the four
Malone delegates at large, John G. Watts,
A. H. Harris, I. s. Brown Allen and Gen.
William Malone, be declared the regular
delegates and seated accordingly; that neither
the regular nor contesting delegates from the
Ninth district be admitted, and that the Wise
delegates in the Second, Third, Fifth, Sixth,
Seventh, Eighth and Tenth districts be rec
Ognized as the regularly elected delegates.
There were no contests in the First and
Fourth districts, and the Malone delegates
hold their places. The decision gives Wise
fourteen of the delegation and Malone eight
This deprives Sherman of fourteen votes, as,
had Malone carried the day, the entire dele
cation would have ranged itself under the
Ohio banner. The Wise contingent is divided
Letween the various candidates.

Democrats say they are pleased because
the candidates are weak; Republicans
are pleased because they are men of
unimpeachable integrity of character;
and the Independent and Mugwump
voters are rejoicing because Blaineism
is defeated. But withal, the nation is
to be congratulated on having candi-

this long stride in the right direc-

sential to party success. He thought
that party success was the one thing
essential to abolish the jeopardy that

VEGETABLE gardening has often

of this seasons markets but exempli-
hes the truth Of the theory. Early
vegetables have held up to very good
prices in our local markets during this
season, while the city markets haN e

Delaware has thousands of acres Of
