Wise Father.

An absent minded city man, used to
paying five cent fares on the street cars,
went on short railroad journey. He
took out five cents for his fare, instead
of his dollar ticket, and sat looking out
of the window, absorbed in thought,
when the conductor came along, CALI
ing, Tickets, please 70
Without turning his head, the pas
senger proffered his five cent piece.
Ticket, siI - said the conductor,
sharply.
The passenger gazed at him blankly
for an instant. then, recognizing his
blunder, he muttered, "Ah, absent
minded again II and politely began
fumbling his hat band for the receipt
check which the conductor held ready
to give him in return for the ticket,
still untouched in his pocket.
But this man was not nearly so alb
sent minded as the Bostonian who met
his own son down town, took off his hat
in response 10 the young mans greet
ing, passed on in abstraction, aud said

"a young fellow down on Milk
street laughed at me to-day when 1
answered his bow, and for the life of me

Canton Silks.


The silks of Canton come entirely
from the silk worms OF the mulberry
(BomboZ moIi). The species ta-t'san
and lunyue are raised principally in this
province. The first corresponds to the
variety known as annual the second to
the polyvolnines species. The ta.t'san
or large worms, give silk of beautiful
texture and of great brilliancy. The
lun-yue, from which seven consecutive
harvests are made, does not produce a
cocoon so fully supplied or silk so lus-
trous. The eggs are Matched in the be
ginning of February. The cocoops pro-
duced at this period are saved for pro-
duction, and the first harvest does not
begin till the second Matching. After
the fourth moulting the silk worm,
having become clear and transparent, is
placed nnder frames with cells OF BAN
boo to fill cocoon. The greatest care is
taken by silk growers in educating the
silkSworm. They are occupied almost
the whole year. The mulberry tree is
also cultivated with great care. The
trees are plated on plains in parallel
rows at a distance of four or five feet of
ona another. They are generally young
trees, trimmed each year, and renewed
every Eve years. 1t takes at least
twenty pIculs of leaves to nourish an
ounce and half of silk worms from the
day o: Matching to the day OF placing
in the frames for the cocoons. 1t is es-
timsted that 100 pounds of good cocoons
give twenty pounds of silk.

The Strawberry Tree.

The strawberry tree is a native Of the
south of Europe. Palestine and the far
famed Lakes OF Killarney, in Ireland
whire tAe country people eat the fruit
which is net unlike ripe strawberry 4:
and hence, It's English name. The
generic name, arbutus, is derived from
the Celtic worls ar boIs. austere bush,
in aliusion TO the quality Of the fruit.
It's foliage is evergreen, aud, where the
winter permits, forms, a beautiful low
growing tree OF from ten TO twenty feet
high, Towering from September 70 De-
Cember, aJ which time the fruit of the
previous ysar is also ripe. In our
Southern states if forms a rich, hardy
evergreen. Ia the North, it can only
be grown as u conservatory plant, bnt
Is very charming, even when not in
flower.
There are members Of the family of
arbutus, natives Of che western coast of
North America, notably \. andrachne
and tomentosa. Our common bear
berries were once classed with the arbu
tus. The trailing aroutus, so delightful
to all New Eoglanders under the name
OF May flower, is Epigea repens. The
curious botanical name in this instance
is derived from the Greek epi, upon.
and saia, the earth ; the plant creeps
upon the earth. Years back, Mr.. J..
Menand, noted forisr, o Albany, n.
y, used 10 grow splendid specimens OF
arbutus in his greenhouses in the form
OF standards with fine heads of foliage
that he used To value at a hundred dol.
lars apiece.

Hints on Handling Bees.

Just before swarming bees fill them
in their new home until they get work
again This is an exceedingly fortu-
nate thing for the beekeeper, as it
makes them much more kindly and
easily handled than they would other,
wise be. With bees, as with men,
they are best natured when on full
stoms chs. In the colder portions of the
country protecting the hives is neces-
sary, either by placing them in cellars
or packing in chaff /; in milder sections
and in the south they will pass the wfn-
ter well on summer stands. In hand
ling bees fearlessness is a wonderful
or tries to drive them is quite sure to be
stung. Still, it must be admitted that
there is something about persons that
gives 20 few immunity from bee sting
that others cannot obtain.
The safest way for the average bee
keeper is TO protect ones self as well as
possible by the dress. Use a smoker,
and proceed as you would about any
other work, taking care not to crush or
iuiure bee. Occasionally a colony will
attack horse that has been driven or
led too near their stand. When this
occurs they often exhibit a vindictiye-
ness and perseverance that is not only
wonderful but dangerous. Horses that
have been heated by driving and become
sweaty are more obnoxious TO them than
the same animals would be when in
their normal condition grazing nesr the
hive. There are so many things to be
learned about bees that persons without
experience in the business, who design
keeping them, should buy one of the
many books on the subject or subscribe
for good paper devoted to beekeeping.

Iron as Fish Food.

An extraordinary "find in a fish,
was made in the Market Hall by fish
dealer named George Smith, who own,
a stall there. Among the many con.
signments of fish which he received
was a number Of large conger eels sent
from Skibereen, County Cork, Ireland
The coDger is known to he very Vi
cious fish but one could scarcelv ba.
lieve that be would swallow two pounds
nine ounces of iron Yet such was the
morsel found in the stomach of one nj
the eels. Mr.. Smith was cutting M
the fish when his knife encountered
something hard, and on opening the
stomach he found a large iron bolt
which had evidently been part Of
ships tackle.
The bolt is about a foot long, and a
the end is large ring, two inches and
a half or three inches in diameter.
The bolt itself Is as thick as an ordi1.
ary Mslacca cane.
The eel weighed about two stone and
was yard and half long. His sual-
lowing capacity nav be Judged from
the fact that a good sized mackerll was
also founG in the stomach. The tllrs
eaten away by rust, and is Of a type de.
cidedly out of date, so that i. had
probably lain Oh the bottom of the sea
a long time before it was swallowed By
the eel. The latter's stomach and
back were considerably indamed, and
there is little reason to dOuo, that It
would soon have died from Indigestion.
A curious feature of the case is hat
the fish was blind 10 one eye. Iuspac.

many curious things were oftentimss
found in the stomach of fish sent to the
Market Hall, and instanced his re-
marks by stating that a short time back

No Leap Year In 1900.

Although the year 1900 will be divisi-
Die by four without a remainder, in will
not be leap year. Over ten years must
elapse before the interesting event takes
place, but it was just the game in 1900.
but not IN 1000, for that was leap
year and the year 2OO0 will be a leap
year also. Why this should be is a
problem. To explain in detail would
be tiresome task, but it rests on the
principle that a difference of eleven
minutes per day exists between actual
time and calendar time. Thus a year
Is computed at 1861 days, three years
being 365 days long and the fourth year
500 days. In fact the year is 365 DAYS
hours and 45 minutes long, or eleven
minuets short of 1861 days. The leap
year every four years is said to be the
invention of Julius Cesar. To allow
for this difference of eleven minutes per
day, one leap year was dropped every
hundred years. But this was found not
to be exact, and Pope Gregory XIII. in
1882, made an improvement and decreed
that every fourth centurial year should
be leap year. Thus. by omitting the
leap year for three centurial years and
letting it remain as usual on the fourth
centural year, system is obtained so
close that it would take thousands of
years to make up another days differ
ence IN time. The calendar time is still
not exact Internationally, but as no
change will be necessary for 4, 900 years,
it will not fall to the share of the pres
ent generation to correct the dIsredep-
ency.

For the Sick Room,

Don't let stale flowers remain in a
sick chamber.
Don't appear anxious, however great
your anxiety.
Don't jar { he bed by leaning or sit
ting upon it. This is unpleasant to
one i'll and nervous.
Don't ask convslesceat il he would
like this or that to eat or drink, but
prepare the delicacies and present them
in tempting way.
Don't neglect during the day to at
tend to necessarIes for the night, that
the rest of the patient and the family
may not be disturbed.
Don't be unmindful of yourself if you
are in the responsible position of nurse.
To do faithful work you must have
proper food aud stated hours to rest.
Don't throw coal upon the fire :;
put it In brown paper bags and lay them
on the fire, thus avoiding the noise
which is shocking to the sick and sensi-
tive.
Don't light sick room at night by
moauo Vi d J6I OF gas burning low
nothing impoverishes the air sooner.
Use sperm candles or tapers that burn
in sperm oil.
Don't allow currents of air to blow
upon the pstient. An open fire place
is al excellent means OF ventilation.
The current may be tested by burning a
piece of paper in the front.
DON'T forget to have few beans of
coffee handy, for this serves as q deo-
dorizer if burnt on Goals or paper. Bits
OF charcoal placed around are useful in
absorbing pases and other impurities.
Don't give the patient full glass of
water to drink from unless he is allow.
ed all he desires. If he can drain the
glass he will be satisfied so regulate
the quantity before handing it to him.
Don't allow offensive matters to re-
main. In cases of emergency, where
these cannot be at once removed, wiring
heavy cloth, for instance, like Turk
ish toweiing, out of cod water, use it
as copper, placing over this ordinary
paper. Such means prevent the es,
cape Of odor or infection.

Tanning by Electricity.

This talk about tanning leather in a
few hours by electricity is all rubbish.
You might as well try to fatten pigs by
electricity. But leather can be tanned
in very short time, although a perfect
article cannot be produced in less than
five o. six months. Some time ago a
Buffalo IN. " man asked me how
long 1t would take me to tan a goat
skin and make pair of boots. l told
him il could be done in twelve hours.
He bet me 500 it couldn't be done.
That night 1 went to a butcher and
bought goat. At six the next morn
the goat WAS skinned, twenty minutes
later had the hair off the hide, color
ed and in the. liquor. By noon it was
dried, dressed, aud dried again and
glazed and ready for the bootmaker,
who finished the boots by five O'Clock
in the evening. IL cost the Buffalo
man nearly $500 after the wine and
extras were paid for. 1t was leather,
but 1t wouldn't do to risk a reputation
on its wearing qualities.
