A Sign of Conyalescence.

The parson of country church was
lying in his bed, three months arrears
of salary was pillowing his head; his
couch was strewn with tradesmen's
bills, that pricked his sides like thorns,
and nearly all life's common ills were
goading him with horns. The deacon
sat beside him as the moments licked
away, and bent his head to catch The
words his deacon had to say.
IF | never shall arise from this hard
bed on which | lie, if my warfare is ac-
complished and its time for me to die,

pulpit's height, to shove them meath
the cushion, far out of reach and sight
And when he hears the preachers

for that's the only chance for them

well to the choir-how the name my

not hear single voice. But tell them

His voice was faint and hoarser. but
it gave a laughing break, a kind of
gurgling chuckle, like minister might
make. And the deacon he rose slowly.

THE APIARY.
Bee Notes.

THE apiarist who locates his hives or
near where there are nothing but large
tall trees viii have considerable trouble
hiving natural swarms. Some parties
have lost nearly every new swarm III such
localities.
BEEKEEPERS who have been somewhat
discouraged during the past season now
see that it pays to stick. The man with
no grit missed it, as usual, by abandoning
the business at the wrong time. Bee
keeping is fully as renumerative and
more interesting than most of the lines
of business requiring the same capital
and efforts.
The increased trade highly pleased us
each of the past seasons, but, after pre-
pairing an unusually large stock with the
determination of not getting behind
with orders, imagine our establishment
when the demand run up to over 100, 900
sections per week right along and other
goods in proportion. However we learn
that We handled the great rush of orders
quite satisfactorily. While our retail
trade is so extensive we also supply a
much larger number of dealers than ever
before.
THE larger amount of honey they con-
tain the greater the danger of the combs
breaking down from intense heat. The
bees often leave the interior of the hive
almost entirely and cluster outside, as
much to save their combs from being
melted as to escape the heat Few
things are more destructive tEln whena
comb falls and the honey flowing on the
bottom boards closes the entrance and
prevents ventilation thus raising the
temperature and melting other combs

TIL SIOtk RANCH.
HOY NOtCS

In a recent number of the Cultirdior
and Country Gentleman. Mr.. f. d.
Curtis has this to say about hogs and
hog feeding: 1t is queer that Mr..
Harris, in the REISSUE of Harris on the
Pig, which, it is said, brings the pig
question down to the present time, does
not mention Duroc Jersey hogs. No
wonder your correspondent, ID. Davis,
expresses his surprise. | can account
for it in no other way than as an over
sight on the part of the author, who is a
man of extensive reading and intellI-
gence; so it cannot be from lack of any
knowledge of this breed.
1t may be interesting to note that the
Duroc-Jersey hogs are bred by the thou
sands, according to the standard of the
association of breeders, and that records
of pedigrees are now made in the third
volume of the registry. They are now
handsome hogs, and for utility are not
excelled by any. As breeders and feed
ers they Will beat any Other breed. They
cross we'll with any breed, as they carry
to such offspring constitutional vigor,
lean meat and n remarkable digestion
and power of assimilation.
Geo. T. Powell, Client, Columbia Co.,
n. y, remarked, a short time ago, that
his crosses of Duroc-J Jerseys with
Chester Whites and Berkshires were COM
mended by every one who saw them.
Mr.. Powell is an extensive breeder of
hogs for sale and slaughter, wisely com
bining pork making with his large fruit
business. The modern Duroc-Jersey
pig will fatten at any age, and all the
tiattering tales of early maturity and big
weights will apply to them, with the
chance of adding, on cheap foods They
m 4 oF
the improved breeds. The demand for
DurocJersey bears for crossing upon
other breeds is rapidly increasing.
These remarkslwill answer the questions
of Mr.. Davis In a recent number.
l do not attach as much Importance to
Prof. Skeletons experiments, brain w.
corn, as some do. Neither bran nor corn
alone is a suitable food for any animal
For young pigs the bran alone would be
the safest and best. For grown hogs, or
for those quite we'll grown, the corn of
course would show the best results in
weight for time; but in the end it
would kill all the hogs, that is, if they
were fed long enough. With the bran
md corn properly mixed, they could be
ted long enough to meet the require
ments of a Chinese temple. The corn
ted hogs gained in weight 50 pounds
more than the bran shorts-fed lot. An
interesting question arises: Did this
excess of weight, which was fat, make
" pounds more OF real food or nutri-
ment? We must not desert common
sense in our haste to get under the
shadow of King Corn. My experiments
have been on the line of both bran and
corn or rye, to max. he most gain and
the best meat. Doubtless the farmer
who believes in all corn will be
strengthened in the false theory that
corn IS also best for the rearing of his
breeding stock

my only fellow passengers were an old
man and bis wife, who occupied the low

their berth made up early and soon re-

had ever travelled in sleeper by the way
they acted, for they were pretty awk-

old lady lecture her husband for not get

grumbling all was quiet, and then came
a deep snore accompanied by one tfi-
fie more subdued. 1t was evident the
old people were asleep. At Manila
junction a large party came in and
taxed the sleeper to its full extent.
1.-The porter bad to remove the bag
gage of the couple, which was slowed
above them, and assigned the berth to a
little inoffensive citizen weighing about
100 pounds. He removed his shoes and
was climbing into the bunk when the
old lady woke up and began screaming.

into our room,' the old gentleman
gasped out. The porter tried to explain
that he would not annoy them, and had
right to be there. But neither would
believe this, and the old man declared
the porter Lad let him in TO rob them.
He was also indignant to think anyone
should be allowed to sleep in the same
compartment with his wife, and finally

odd Private Charities.


From Conversations in a Studio"
For my own part | cannot help feel
ing more admiration for secret, spon-
taneous, unexpected, and even odd
private charities, which seek no reward
and hide out of sight, than Tor those
who We're made with a great flourish
before the worli. For instance there
was B., who in crossing the English Chan
mel fell in with lonely old lady, whom
he had never seen, and out of pure
kindness of heart he helped her to
seat and paid her a number of little at
tentions, to make her comfortable, and
finally on arrival, called a cab, put her
into it, and said goodbye and shortly
afterward the old lady died, and tC the
establishment of B., she left him all her
money Now tins is what | call a dear
old lady, and | have never failed since
then to be polite and attentive to every
old lady | meet in my travels. Then
again, there was the artist whom |
knew in Florence years ago, who S

whose ancestor obtained fortune from
an utter stranger simply by opening his
pew door to him and giving him a seat.
The stranger had entered the church
and was rather embarrassed where to
go. The cold Christian shoulder was
turned on him as he went down the
aisle. until this gentleman, observing
his shyness, rose, opened his pew, and
motioned him to take a place i'll it.
The stranger thanked him on leaving

Sham Antiquities in Paris.
From the jewelers. Weekly

There is a great passion nowadays
for antique articles, and it has given
birth to a world of sham antiquities.
An army of handicraftsmen are busily
engaged in the manufacture Of these
wares, which are palmed off on cOntid-
ing people as being 200 or 800 years old
and date from any desired landmark IN
history.
Old chairs, old tables, old silver, old
jewelry and old anything, even If made
last week, have great value in the eyes
of many persons satisfied with an
tiquity sin appearance. Worm eaten
furniture is now one of the RACES. This
stuff is easily produced with the aid of
bird shot, which is fired into 1t. Old
houses, torn down, furnish worm eaten
timber, which is turned to good account
in fabricating old sets of furniture.
Old door keys, medieval bellows,
gilt fambeaux in Louis NV style,
warming pans and brass tenders OF the
fourteenth century, candelabrd, and
even old shutters, find purchasers as
fast as these antique wares can be made
by skillful artisans Ii out of the way
places of the gay capital. Old coins
and Regency clocks are cast by the ton
every dav in Paris, but they are very
scarce and bring fabulous prices.
