The AristOcratic Bee,

One of the most interesting country
places in Maine is that of Mark Gray.
of West Freeman, who has been so
successful in raising bees that he has
made ,27.50 from them this year.
A correspondent gives a description
of his apiary, which has been arranged
with remarkable painstaking and is
veritablc curiosity. All the hives are
painted and striped in diffe ent COM
binations, 10 two alike. Mr.. Gray
makes his hives himself, having built
a small shop and a miniature saw-mill
for this purpose. He thinks the bees
like TO have their homes attractive as
we'll as human beings, and that they
work better and are more contented
for having everything tidy around
them. They require but very little
attention, but anything out of place
they notice as quickly as a neat house.

The Chinese Sacred Lily.

The Chinese sacred or Oriental lily
is one of the most charming plants for
indoor culture. The Shui Sin Far, or
Water Fairy Flower, joss Flower. or
Flower of the Gods, &c, as it is
called by the Celestials, is variety of
narcissus, bearing in lavish profus on
chasie flowers of silvery white, with
golden yellow cups. 1t is of exquisite
beauty and perfume. 1t is grown by
the Chinese, according to their ancient
custom, to herald the advent of their
new year and as a symbol of good
luck.
The bulbs are grown by a method
known only 10 themselves, whereby
they attain great size and vitality, in
suring luxuriant growth and immense
spikes of flowers; in fact, the incred-
IDLY short time required to bring the
bulbs into bloom (four or six weeks
after planting) is one of the wonders
of nature. "You can almost see them

grow," succeeding everywhere and
with everybody. They do well in pots
Of earth, but are more novel and
beautiful grown in shallow bowls of
water, with enough fancy pebbles TO
prevent them topping over when in
bloom.
A dozen bulbs started at intervals
will give succession of flowers
throughout the winter. As the plant
is partially aquatic in its nature, plenty
of water is necessary. If it be grown
in soil it should be light and sandy.
After the bulbs have been planted
they should be kept III a closet or in a
cool, dark place for few days to in
ducc a growth of roots before the tops
start; aftcrward they should be placed
in a sunny window.
They succeed in an ordinary living
room, yet it is necessary for them to
be kept away from the gas, as it
causes the flowers TO blast. BY max
ing a small iucision with a knife
across the top of the bulb in two or
three places from one-half to one inch
from the centre, a fresh lot of leaves
is caused and flower stalks will start
from those points. The cutting, how
ever, must be carefully done, so as not
to injure the bulb; the skin simply
need be cut to liberate the leaves.
The Chinese lily bulbs sell at % cents
each or 81 so per Dozen New York

The Ludicrous in otter Hunting.

.. Hunling the otter is not altogether
devoid of the ludicrous element, for
in the excitement of the chase many a
bold follower has lost his foothold on
the slippery rocks and has found him
self not landed on terra frma, but
soused into an adjoining pool, amid
the shouts of laughter from his more
fortunate companions; then, again, in
these days of bar1ed wire, used by the
farmers to keep their cattle from wad-
ing across the stream into their neigh
boris land, the unwary sportsman finds
himself hooked up, and in trying to
extricate himself from the first grasp,
finds that he has hopelessly got himself
entangled by further and a stronger
hold.-rCommercial Advertiser.

The Hon. Carter II. Harrison. in his
Grace with the Sum-" d, ,cribes a visit
to some timber-ya and saw-mills in
Rangoon, where he saw what he calls
the lions of the city-the working ele-
plants. The lumber is not sawed into
boards. but the slab is taken off and
the good stuff left in the form of a
square timber. The logs are many of
them three feet in diameter and 80 or
forty feet long. These the elephants
draw from the river, and pile in sys-
tematic order. Then, when they are
needed, they roll them to the WAYS and
assist in adjusting them for the saw.
After the log is cut the elephant
goes among the machinery, takes the
slabs away, and carries the good inn
Der and piles it up or lays it gently
upon the ox-carts 10 be hauled off
While we were present a carpenter
wanted lumber from a particular log
which was under several others. One
of the monsters rolled the upper logs
off and pushed the chosen stick to the
mill The way was not clear-thc log
butted against the others. lie pushed
these aside and guided his piece
through them with a sagacity almost
human.
His stick became wedged. lie
pushed and tugged; it would not
bulge, but at whispered word from
the mahout and the promise of nice
food he bent TO it. Still it stuck.
With a whistle audible for half mile,
he got on his knees, Strengthened out
his hind legs, and put his whole force
into push. He was successful. We
could almost read his satisfaction, in
the gentle flaps of his huge ears and
the graceful curve of his proboscis as
he put it up to the mounted mahout,
asking for his reward.
Sticks more than two feet thick and
twenty feet long are lifted bodily up
on the great worries, and are then
carried off and laid upon the gangways
so gently as not to make a jar We
saw Ji,t " n ~ ~
a timber along path not three feet
wide among masses of loose logs.
"e had 10 plant his fore feet upon
the logs, and thus walk a considerable
distance. lie looked as if lie were
walking upon his hind legs. The cor
ner of frail little bamboo hut stood
in his way. He lifted the log over
the roof and bent his body so that his
sides gently scraped the corner of the
house and did not shake it. A hun
drcdth part of his weight would have
caused it to topple from its pile foun-
dation.

IN INCOME rly.

A novel proposition has been
suggested by Congressman OATES,
of Alabama, looking to a solution
of the pension question in provid-
ing the money to pay pensions by
an income tax. The Government
will pay out this year over $780,
100000 in the way of pensions.
One-third of this amount, or over
$50,000,000 is paid by the people
of the South, not S1,000,000 of
which is returned to that section.
Mr.. OATES does not object to pen
sioning deserving veterans, but he
is opposed on general principles to
the business the Government is
now engaged in. He considers
such wholesale legislation the re-
suit Of demagogery, but since it
looks as though it must go on at
this extravaganza rate, his solution
of the question is the establishment
Of an income tax for the payment
Of pensions, and he intends intro
ducing a bill to tax every individ-
ual certain per cent. on all in
comes exceeding $4,000 a year,
and also tax corporations, but make
the rate less than on individuals.
His idea in formulating this bill is
to force the rich men of the coun-
try to bear their just proportion of
the expenses incurred by the Gov
eminent Such a measure would
arouse all the bitter opposition of
the Republican chiefs and their
tools and the influence of the mon
ey barons who are striving to build
up a separate and distinct class to
be supported by the Government.
