Ignorance Is Costly Bliss,

knowledge is helpful and very val
liable, while ignorance is the fruitful
cause of waste, extravaganza, and dis
astvr. A little chemical knowledge
would have prevented the loss Of
forty human lives and a great de-
struction Of property, which resulted
from the recent explosion Of the boat
Tioga, in Chicago. Many vapors, in
Guiding that from kerosene oil, mixed
with cir, make very powerful explosives.
Had the officers and men of the Tioga
known this simple fact they would not
have gone into that vessel with a
lighted lamp any more than they
would have leaped into a furnace full
of fire. Why a little science cannot
be driven into the heads of boat own
ers and officers, no one can tell. By
their ignorance they are close kin to
downright imbeciles. But every day
is fruitful Of the value Of knowledge
and the criminal dangers of ignorance.
Land-lubbers as we'll as sea-dogs are
equally afflicted with that ignorance
which is costly bliss. The above does
not assume the criminal shipment of
naptha under some other name, which
may have been the case.-Er.

THE
The Re. Rive.

Spring management of bees is an i'm
portant part of the apiarist's work. AS
soon as the red buds of the soft maple
have put forth their heads, natural pol
len for the bees will be plentiful. This
usually occurs in May, and during this
month large quantities Of brood are
raised. The soft maple Is almost uni
yersally distributed; but in localities
where 1t cannot be found, nor the will
lows either, it is well to place in some
sheltered place, where the wind cannot
come, some unbolted rye-flour, mixed
with saw-dust or cut straw. Warm feed
should be placed nea the hive every
night 1t there are not enough honey-pro-
ducing plants in the neighborhood, or if
the weather continues cold, wet, and
damp. The object is to get the stock to
increase rapidly, and the more good food
that the bees get the faster will the stock
increase. If rainy and cold weather sets
In, and honey is scarce, the bees will be-
gin to destroy their work by throwing
out the Matching brood. The greatest
care is thus required to see that they are
we'll supplied with appropriate feed,
whether the weather be fair or I'M
pleasant.
The time Of transference from old box
hives to movable frames is when the
fruit trees are in bloom. In doing this
work, however, the brood-nest should
not be exposed too long, as it is liable to
get q chill which would ruin everything.
II honey is scarce robbers will be flying
around, ready to enter the hive. The
moth miller especially will be prepared
to begin its destructive work.
The care of bees during the spring also
depends on the object for which they are
kept. Il they are kept for increase
alone, they should be fed every night
until honey is abundant in. the woods
and fields. As fast as the combs become
filled with the queen, insert new ones
which the queen will begin to fill with
eggs. If the combs are full of honey so
much the better. When the drones COM
mence to hatch, the colonies should be di-
vided, taking the queen to the new stand.
A new queen will soon be reared by the
old colony. In this way the stocks can
be about doubled in one season.
OF course, if honey is the main object
in keeping the bees, top boxes should be
added as soon as the bees begin to hang
out. The full boxes should be removed,
and empty ones put in their place.
When the boxes are full of honey the
bees will hang out, and frequently build
queen cells and leave the hive in q body.

THE STOCK RANCH,
Comfort for Cattle.

Comfort for cattle means more than
hay and feed. 1t means a good stall, q
warm, dry bed, light, plenty of fresh air,
and a certain amount of freedom in the
stall, something different from the rigid
stanchion. Thus writes John Gould in
the Philadelphia Weekly Press. Two
years ago, when he built his new COW
barn, he made a study of all these mat
ters, and after two winters experience
he would not change a feature of the
plan. The basement plan was discarded,
and the barn is all of wood, ave a low
stone foundation wall, that rises one foot
above the ground. The walls are built
double, with q six-inch air space.
Matched boards were used on the inside
as well as the outside, and tarred paper
was put upon the studding besides.

THE LATE GEN. FISK.
THE LAST HOURS OF A GREAT
AND GOOD MAN.

His Farewell Words-He Prayed to Live:
De Tor God and Humanity.
On the last Monday evening of his life,
turning to his wife, General Fisk re-
marked:
Il overheard you say I was slipping
away from you. Do they think my heart
trouble will hasten my death2"
Then, scarce waiting any reply, he
said:
We will shape things for living or dy-
ing. TO live is Christ; to die is gain.
From time to time he was hoard to say
over and over again, 1t is all r ght; it is
all right"
Christ made it possible" he said
once, for all men to grow and be better.
The more Of this spirit we have. the less
these things trouble u.s..
Thinking Of the Prohibition cause,
evidently, he declared:
1T is worthy of the fight for a great
principle against such Odds" e
And, as often he had before done on
the platform. he recited the stanza:
High hopes that burned like stars sublime
Go down the heights of Freedom,
And true hearts perish in the time
We bitterliest need EN-.
But never sit we down and say "
There's nothing left but sorrow:

said, presently: "Out Of it all there comes

Wants to Teach Him a Lesson.

About six months ago an Athens, Ga.
youth, aged Is years, disappeared from
home, and several days after a note to his
parents informed them that he had de-
cided to try his fortunes in Texas. It was
the old, old story of the boy that read the
10 cent novels. The lad thought he was
cut out to be a robber chief. A few days
ago his father received a letter from HIM,
stating that he would be glad to return
home once more, and requesting money to
return on. His father refused to send it,
and says he wants to teach his son a les

The Prohibitionlsts' Opportunity in I'LL
nOiS.

nOfS. r
The three State conventions, Republi-
can, Democratic, and Prohibition, have
met and placed their candidates in the
field for State Treasurer, State Superin-
tendent Of Schools, and three Trustees
Of the State University. Neither the
Prohibitionists % the Republicans
nominated a candidate for United States
Senator. The Prohibition platform is
n of the strongest ever presented to
the people Of the State, and the Prohibi-
tionists were never in better fighting
trim.
Should the Legislature be az evenly
balanced as it wal in 1884, which is ex-
tremely probable, and the Prohibitionists
as strong as they were III the Legislature
which was elected in 1886, something of
interest to the Prohibitionists will hap

to dictate temperance legislation within
the State but may name the United.
