CN4NINCUS.

Since the BEACON began some
weeks ago to call the attention of the
people and press of the State to the
terrible load of judiciary this State
was carving, the newspapers OF Lou
isiana-both those in the city of New
Orleans and those in the country dis
trict-have come forward in unani
nous chorus to say that the position
taken 10y the BEACON is eminently
wise and correct.
Our Judges and district attorneys
cost the State $4,000 a year IN
round figures as much as we
get for our public schools. Let us
take look at the items:

If the people of Louisiana will in
spect this itemized account of what
their annual judicial bill amounts to-
they will find in it food for a good
deal of reflection. And when the
people have fully realized what an
incubus it is, 1t ought not to be very
long before the burden is removed
And we think the next session Of the
legislature will begin the work.

BETTER THAN SMOKE FOR
BEES,


The British Bee Journal gives the
following as better way Of quieting
bees than by smoke: One and q half
ounces Calvert's No. 5 carbolic acid,
one and half ounces glycerine, one
quart of warm water. The acid and
glycerine to be well mixed before I'D.
ding the water and the bottle to be-
we'll shaken before using. A piece
Of calico, or preferably cheese.clotb.
sufficiently large to cover the top of
the hive, should be stepped In this
solution, w-ung out dry, and spread
over the hive on the removal OF the
quilt, when every bee will quickly
disappear below. and manipulation
may be slowly and quietly performed
without annoyance from the bees.
The same plan is efectual in driving
the bees out OF secLion-cases. From
unsealed sections they often refu,e
to bulge, but little flowing through
the strairer will always dislodge
them. All of our sections are thus
removed. and We have never expert
enced the slightest scent or flavor Of
the csrbolic aci ] attached TO the comb
or honey. This unpleasant result
occurs only 10 bunglers, who either
use too strong solution. or do not
wiring out the carbolized sheet sufficI-
emily dry, and so besprInkle the
comb honey with the solution, and
charge the evil result Of their own
stupidity on those who recommend
the process. The strength Of the
solution quickly passes away, as the
acid evapora.es when exposed to the
air.
