properly arranging the hive and providing

food will bee stored around the cluster Of
bees. Frames Of comb filled with pollen
near the cluster Of bees are considered in

been our experience, and we take particu-
lar pains to either remove such frames
from the hive or place them outside OF the
brood-nest. Bees should not cluster on
frames filed with pollen during winter.
They use too much pollen az food, and it
has a tendency TO produce dysentery

Jewels That Are Glass,

Most of the worlds beads are Vene-
tian. In the island of Muranoa thou
sand workmen are devoted 10 this
branch. The first process is to draw
the glass into tubes of the diameter of
the proposed bead. For this purpose
the glass house at Murano has a
kind OF rope walk gallery 100 feet
long. By gathering various colors
from different pots and twisting them
into ONE mass many combinations of
color are made. The tubes are care
fully sorted by diameters and Clipped
into fragments Of uniform size. These
pieces are stirred in a mixture of
sand and ashes which fills the holes
and prevents the sides from closing
together when they are heated. They
are next placed In 3 kind Of frying
pan, constantly stirred over a fire
until the edges are rounded into a
globular form. When cool they are
shaken in one set of sleeves until the
ashes are separated, and In another
series of sleeves until they are perfect
ly sorted by sizes. Then they are
threaded by children, tied in bundles,
and exported to the ends of the earth.
France has long produced the pearl
beads" which in tho finer forms are
close limitations of pearls. They are
said TO have been invented by NJ. ia
quin, in 1856. The common variety
threaded for ornament is blown from
glass tubes. An expert workman can
blow five or six thousand globules in
a day. They arc lined with powdered
fish scales and filed with a 1t takes

the heirs of Joaquin still carried on q

The best OF them are blown irregular

shape, others like olives, and they
easily pass for genuine. Imitation

A Badly Mixed Correspondence.

Not long since a combination of
frivolity on the part Of a dear friend
of mind in West End and a similarity
of names of two men caused my
friend q decidedly unpleasant and
painful experience. In a down town
hotel there chances to be q cashier
whom l will call William Jones, and
q porter of the same name. Some time
ago she met the cashier, and, girl like,
became much pleased with him. After
a little she wrote him an invitation to
call. He read and referred it TO the
porter, who had a friend Of the same
name years before, and naturally sup
posed her to be the correspondent,
and TO be employed as q domestic at
the house referred to. He was an in
telligent young man, and answered
the letter quite calamity, under the
instruction of his namesake. A num-
Der of epistles passed, until the colored
man arrayed himself quite tastefuly
one night and called, inquiring for the
lady. Miss -, who responded, in
formed the darby that she was the one
asked for. He was so astonished that
he only replied that he came from
the hotel in point. "Ah, you have a
note for me, no doubt, from Mr.. -"
she queried. mo, ma'am was the re-
ply. 81 am Mr.. -" "But he is
the cashier" she replied. There Is a
man by that name who is cashier, and
he gave me the letters, told me they
were mine, and directed me to answer
them" l never saw a case of such in
tense modification. Finally turning
to the ustounded porter, who was pro-
fuse in his apologies, she told him
that he was black, but that he was far
more of a gentleman than was his
namesake. Then she wrote Mr.. -
a short note, which conveyed more
contempt than 1 ever thought could
be couched in SO small an envelope

Arc paths that lead 70 p-aee,

Where strife and turmoil cease.
Beyond the murky waters

catch the sheen of jasper
Through a star flumined dream
Beyond the mystic river

Where the tree of life Is blooming
And never griefs annoy.
Beyond the storms and shadows
That gloom our lives below.
There is a land all radiant
Where living waters low.
Beyond the mystic river
Are paths that lead to light,
Where the glowing sea OF crystal
Breaks on b ravished sight -
No sunlight gilds the city,
Nor argent moonbeams play;
God's presence, all of glory,
There pales the orb OF day.
Beyond the mystic river
Are paths that lead to love,
Where streets OF golden splendor
Hume the world above,
There sits enthroned the Father,
Amid the seraph thronR,
That cast their crowns before him, 4
And giorify with song.

See pearly gates ajar.
