Italian Bees,

In form, the queen bee IS long and
slender, and very symmetrical in all her
paris. The whole abdomen Of most
Italian queens, except the last segment,
is OF n beautiful golden color. The color
of queens varys somewhat, some being
darker than Others, but all produce fine
workers, writes Dayton Il. Barker, in
Bee .Journa'. Her movements among
the bees on the combs are well directed
and graceful, and OH account of her
quiet disposition and fine color, she is
easily found by the operator, on the
combs. I have often seen the queen
laying, while holding the frame IN my
hands.
Italian queens are also more prolific
than the common black queen, thus
keeping their colonies strong. They
also cast larger and earlier swarms than
our native bees.
The drones, or male Italian bees, also
vary in color. but in general the three
first scgmcnts or bands are yellow, and
somewhat scalloped with black. Ihave
had droncs in my apiary, of which nearly
the whole abdomen was covered with
yellow, and ! always prefer to breed
from these dark drones; especially
those feared from queens that mated
with BLACK dronc have tendency to
produce workers that do not show the
fine yellow bands so uniformly as they
should. My advice is, If possible, not
10 breed from such drones.
When the queen is pure, and purely
mated, the workers are fine looking,
have three yellow bands around the abdo
men, and very symmetrical bodies. They
possess agility and strength in very
marked degree, are excellent nurses, al
ways keeping the brood up to the high
est possible point. They also have the

A Printer Chrlstens a Monarch.

Here is perhaps the most important
printers blunder on record. 1t is
stated, on the authority of the historian
Kinglako, that it was the intention OF
Louis Napoleon to call himself simply
Napoleon, and that the title, Napoleon

types. Just before the coup d'eiat, a
minister of the home Office, busy prepar.

NIOIlair Fabrics.


n noticeable feature of the seasons
trade in dress goods is the appearance of
lustrous fabrics after an absence of
nearly fifteen years. About three years

In every section of the country, except
Philadelphia, have taken hold in q man
ner which shows their firm confidence in
them. Yet to the careful observer of
dress-goods happenings the situation is
paradoxical, for while the stiff and brill
liant fabrics are in active demand, there
is noticeable n decided increase in soft
wool goods. The one is the extreme
opposite of the other. and according to
the experience of the trade the poDu-
larity of one would mean the death of
the other. That mohairs are not on the
market as an experiment, and that they
have come in response to an actual call,
IS seen in the large repeat orders which
are reaching the importers from the
trade. The English production has been
sold way ahead, and there is always
great scarcity OF goods. Many of the

the past few years put their machinery

was entirely enveloped in solid

was desperate struggle and but for the

might have been the result.
Fully 5000 people gathered ia the
streets. completely blocking the thorough
fares in the vicinity of the fire. and it WAS
frequently necessary to turn the hose on
the crowd to drive them back out of the
way of the firemen
The origin OF the 6re is unknown and it
liz strongly suspected that it is the work of
an lncendiary. There had been no fire of
ANY kind In or around the stable for some
time, and one OF the stable hands stated
that he was in the NOV throwing down
