Simnicity of Lie,

In one of the public parks of Man
chester, England, there is a marble
statue to the memory of Joseph Broth
erton, who represented that city in
Parliament for many years. On the
monument there is this simple inscrip-
ton:
MY wealth consisted not in the
abundance of my riches, but in the few
ness of my wants.
Doctor Frazer, the good Bishop of
Manchester, used frequently to quote
this inscription as an illustration of the
fact that it is not wealth but the con-
tented heart that makes happiness The
Bishop was also fond Of telling story
which showed how largeness of heart
and broad public spirit is sometimes
associated with simplicity and homeli
ness of life.
He was to go on a certain day to
consecrate one of the handsomest
churches in South Lancashire. built at
q cost OF one hundred thousand dollars,
the gift Of one man, Il mill owner.
Upon arriving at the station nearest to
the place, he had mile to walk before
he came in sight of the church
Can YOU tell me where Mr.. W
lives, the gentleman who built that
noble church ?" asked the Bishop of
pedestrian.
oh. ay. it's yon cottage against yon
bank" answered the man, walking
away.
The Bishop thought that there must
be some mistake. Presently he over
took a girl in Sunday attire.
Can YOU tell me where Mr. W
lives, who built that noble church ?"
asked the Bishop.
That's it," she answered, pointing
to the same UMPIRE .entious cottage;
I'm going to the conservation
The Bishop made his way to the cot
tage door. still thinking it improbable
that man W no had built a church at
such a cost should dwell in q house of
that sort. He knocked, and the door
was opened by an old woman, simply
dressed. The Bishop did not dare to
ask il Mr.. W was in, and therefore
repeated his question:
Can yoI tell me where Mr.. W
lives. who built this noble church? 2"
oh, you're the Bishop, are YOU"
re; lied the woman. Hes bein' expect

Ushered iato the kitchen the Bishop
found an Old, tine-looking man sitting
b. the fire smoking a chulchwarden
pipe.

old man. "Nowt like being III good
time. There'll be snack of something
when you've done.
You have done noblv by the dis

Selling his hand and giving it a hearty
grasp.

THE ApIARE.
Selling Honey.


! Extracts from a paper read by III. F.
Moore at the Ohio State Bee Keepers
Convention:
Marketing our honey is one of the
| most important parts of the business: for
if we fail in this, it is useless for US 10
raise large crops of honey, or to use great
care in its production.
Experience has shown. time and again
| that grocerymen and dealers pass by any
honey that is daubcd on the outside, or
shows any broken comb through the
glass. Yet these things viii always
continue to be, so long as freight men
handle honey. The only solution that
seems near by is TO encaSe each section
in little paSteboard box made expressly
| for the purpose.
Take a walk with me through the COM
mission houses of any of our large cities.
and You will see large quantities of comb
honey marketed in that shape, and also
the breakagc in necessary handling is
much less. Their cost is tritling-iCsS
than one-half cent each by the thou
sand.
| think if the bcc-man who took his
honey from the hive and boxed and
| shipped whole crates without even tax
ing them apart to see if any were nicely
| filled, or Scraplng the sections to make
them more attractive, could have heard
the conversation between the commission
merchant and the possible purchaser,
and heard his honey offered at three and
| four cents per pound less than nice honey
in glassed eases, he would have realized
! the object lesson more fully than by
reading whole volume of bee-litcra-
| ture.
| Beauty in appearance is as important
as excellence in flavor to the successful
apiarist. If beauty and neatncss are
necessary with comb honey, they are no
less important to extracted honey.
In marketing extracted honey, glass
receptacles are evidently best. Those
| holding one-half pound, three-quartcrS.
and pound are preferred by the trade.
as they can be sold for small amount
of money. Large quantities of honey
are sold each year to the wholesale and
retail druggists Most druggists prefer
| to furnish their own receptacles, but if
not, the quart Mason glass jar presents
marked advantages on account of its
holding just three pounds of coed, thick
/ honey. When cryStalliZed it is far
easier to melt a quart than a siXty-pound
can.
There is another method of retailing
clear honey which promises to lead in
the quantity that can be sold in the given
time and territory. Take a quart Mason
jar half full of white clover honey. and Il
nice onc-pound section, if you please. and
call at the first house on any street of
any town you may mention. Rap or
ring gently, and on seeing a member Of
the family. look pleasant and say, Good

THE FARM.
How to Store Potatoes.

Different men have different methods
and different climates require different
treatment for their root and cereal crops.
Many farmers say pieing or burying is
the best, while others again say storage
in cellar or barn is the best. Each is
good in its way, and below will be found
two methods which very rarely fail to be
satisfactory if properly managed.
In the first place be certain that the
tubers are fully ripe. Potatoes that are
dug too early will not keep properly:
they turn soft. are unsavory for cooking
and weakly for seed. The best way TO
determine whether the tubers are fully
maturcd. is to observe the haulm. The
leaves turn yellow and the vines shrink.
Having dug the potatoes. if they appear
dry, they can be carted away to the
place of storage at once: but, if at all
damp, they should lie on the ground in
the sun until the moisture is entirely alb
SOrbed. First. method of storing is to
dig a trench about two or three feet
deep, and large. according to the quantity
of roots to be stored. Carefully and
compactly fill the trench. cover up with
hay or straw then cover with earth and
sod. and your potatoes will turn out i'll
the spring, sound and sweet
Another method is to cart them from
the field and spread them in a cool cellar
and leave them until late in the fall,
then heap them together and cover them
with sacks or straw, or till them into
barrels, keeping the cellar always about
five degrees above freezing point. Great
care should be taken in storing the
potatoes in cellars, that they do not be-
come too warm and rot, or sprout too
early, or freeze and become worthless.

You say truly, Giles Ell S. But now
YOU have seen Martin Lees shroud with
your own eyes, it is likely to go hard with
Dorothea ana Janet Lee. Since both
have confessed carrying meat and drink
to Martin Lee, and he is nowhere to be
found-but, instead, now they have
found his shroud-why, tbs plain they
will both hang"
To which Giles Ellis assented, as he
drank his wine slowly.
And can any one see this shroud?"

NO one has been denied. Scores have
seen it," Giles Ellis replied, as he looked
at the apprentice and the customers on
the other side of the room The Mar

so? Then it is very bad, as Grizzle
has said, for Mistress Lee and Janet"
Aye; unless their friends bestir them
selves, there's enough in the shroud to
hang them. Many have hanged on less
grounds" Giles E lis said, severely.
IT'S we'll the law takes them in hand or
honest people would not have room to
live"
To which the two customers opposite
him assented, with many mods, as they
finished their rum and settled back in
their seats to hear all that was to follow.
There was nothing new. Giles Ellis
related in his turn how Indian Joe had
found the shroud, how he had fastened
to the Marshal of Salem with it, and how
Sam-el Hobbs, looking at it, had said
that it was Mart n Lees shroud. The
tale was SO interesting that the custom
ers ordered more rum and water, as they
listened 10 the apprentice supplying de-
tails Giles Ellis omitted.
And 50 the finding of Martin Lees
shroud was told over and over again half
a score of times before the inn was
closed that night, for the customers who
had heard Ezra Easily and Giles Ellis
relate it, in Their turn related it to
Others.
Salem fell asleep that night, after lis
tening to as many vers ous of the finding
of Martin Lees shgoud as hum n inven-
ton could supply in six or eight hours.
Of one thing there was no doubt.
