Apiary Notes,

PURE ammonia will remove the sting
of bees.
HONEY kept in the same temperature
as when it was stored will not candy as
soon as otherwise.
If you wish forest trees for wind
break and honey at the same time, plant
honey locust, and soft maple.
The following facts, in regard to white
clover, are given in the Bee journal in
reply to questions: AS it does not bloom
until the second season, it will do no
harm if it is grazed by cattle during the
first season. Six pounds to the acre is
about the right quantity of seed to SOW.
1t can be sown at any time, even on the
snow in winter.

He Makes ! Model Prisoner.

Ferdinand Ward has changed more,
perhaps, than any of the other prison
ers who are in what is generally known;
as the distinguished" class. The
gold-rimed glasses he wears are the
only remnants of his former self.
He looks healthy and his eye is
bright, but he is not the dashing young
banker who once was so petted in cir
cles exclusive. His air is subdued and
his eyes very rarely meet those of q
visitor.
He is the printer of the prison, and
a very excellent one, too. In his
younger years he learned the art and
the state has utilized it to an advan-
tage. He is an actual saving to the
institution, and as he has a little office
well fitted up all to himself, he appears
to be about as content as a man can be
who is lifted out of a world of giddy
excitement and thrown, himself a Grim
inal, into a prison filed with baser
men.
He enjoys no privileges of any nature
and it is simply the fact that he had
learned a trade in his youth that now
keeps him aloof from athe gangs who
do mental labor. He had both coat
and waistcoat off when the reporter
entered.
ooh, yes," he said, with a smile, in
answer to a query of Mr.. Connaughton
as to whether or not he was busy. "I
am rather busy. This bill of Senator
Fassett's, regulating the labor and the
reports, has caused us to get out new
forms, and I'm busy" He said this as
he set away ct his case engrossed in
his work.
The walls of his little printing office
he has covered with pictures clipped
from the periodicals of the day.
Strangely enough, too, most Of his
pictures represent scenes Of home and
childhood, and odd they look.
With the crime of Ward everybody
is familiar. Its perpetrator is paying
his debt to society as best he can. He
occupies O cell fanked on either side
by the common thieves; wakes up with
the rest Of the prisoners at 6:15 every
morning, has breakfast, and then goes
off to his work. He is back in his cell
at 5:45 in the evening, and spends
most of his time from that until lights
are out at . O'Clock in the evening
reading. He has q fondness for works
of a scientific nature.
He has few visitors, but the carpet
that protects his feet from the cold
stone floor, and the, hair mattress on
which he sleeps, tells Of tile thought
fulness of some who remained faithful
to him after his downfall. These lux
uries are permitted prisoners when
supplied them by friends. Ward has
never been known to speak to a fellow
convict except to answer a message
sent through n from the officials o.
the prison. He seemed pleased wher
the chief keeper complimented him or
some work he had done, but merely
bowed his acknowledgement.
Wards sentence. dates from Octobe:
81, 1885, and, in the natural order o
events, would not expire until 1895
but he has regularly earned his com
mutation for good conduct, and, shoul,

THE MdIDES:S DTIGNOSIs OF THE
DOCTOR.
Now that the newspapers are all
talking of DR.. Brown-Seouard and his
wonderful elixir stories of his ex-
periences in this vicinity are in order,
and some of those which are told are
droll enough.
It may be remembered that one. OF
his ideas was that the nervous condition
of a person could be judged by the sus-
ceptibility of the skin, and this he
tested by the distance apart at which two
pin pricks merged themselves into one
to the sensation of the patient. This
method he used with considerable
success, being not infrequently called
in as a specialist in complex cases Of
nervous disorder.
On n occasion, it is said, he was
called upon to so to the suburbs Of
Boston to see a young lady who was
suffering from some nervous trouble,
and was left alone with the patient to
make his examination. After a time
which seemed to the family rather long
he anne down stairs with a serious face
and informed the family that he was
extremely sorry to report that the vi
tality of the girl seemed so low that
there seemed no possibility of her raj
lying. They were thunderstruck, as the
case, though obstinate, had by no means
been regarded as q serious one. The
family physician, who had been unable
to be present, was sent for in all haste.
He assured the frightened relatives that
there was some mistake, and proceeded
up to the chamber of the invalid to hear
her account of the examination.
"That man you sent here" she an
nounced almost before he could ask her,
"was o fool"
"He is nothing of the Sort" was the
answer, "He is an able specialist"
"Well," she said, 81 know he acted
like a fool. All he did was to stick
pins into my back and ask ME if it hurt.
OF course, I said no."
The physician was too much amused
to be angry, but the conclusion of DR..
Brown-Sequard was at once explained,
to the great relief of the family.-Bos-
tom Courier,

Where Things are Old.

A story is told in Murray's Maya
zine of an American plutocrat visiting
Oxford. On his tour of the colleges
nothing struck him so much as the
velvety turf in one of the q~uadrangles.
He asked for the gardener, and made
minute inquiries as to the method Of
laying down and maintaining the grass.
"That's all, is it?" he exclaimed,
when the whole process had been care

Il FEARFUL

There, sir!" exclaimed the cruel
landlady, as she showed a poor young
man into the street and handed him a
bundle containing only his soiled linen.
There, sir, take that, and never dare
show your face in my highly respectable
clearinghouse again. This house is for
decent people as pays their bills, an
you'll never git your trunk until you pay
yours. Be gone!"
Passers-by gazed ~curiously at the
young man as these words flew into the
ambient air, and with his heart in his
mouth, his soul pierced with the iron of
misfortune, yet his pride unsubdued, he
muttered:
"Tis a long lane that has no turning;
the wheel of fortune never stops, and
some day you may be in my power as I
am now in yours.
"Begone!"
This was the landlady's only response,
and it was uttered in tones that startled
even the drowsy beetles beneath the
stone steps and the policeman at the
corner. The young man, with a power
full effort at self-control, choked down
his grief and dragged his weary limbs
away.
For weeks he had paced the great,
bustling, heartless city looking for work.
He had come from q rural village, where
he had been a dentists assistant, and he
had hoped to find a place in the metrop-
oils where he could earn a living and
ultimately attend a dental college until
he should become master of his chosen
profession.
Fortunately his evident distress as he
was turned from the proud landlady's
door attracted the attention of a business
man in need of a faithful assistant, and
the long lane turned,
Five years are supposed to have
elapsed.
The once-proud landlady is still at
the old stand, but she is proud 20 more.
Her once handsome apartments are
faded and vacant; her table seats but

transient; her larder, never full, is now

halcyon days of five years ago was al
ways full.
