The Boston Globe has made the wonderful
discovery that the reason the Southern
States do not incorporate an educational
qualification In their constitutions is that 1t
was made condition precedent of their re.
admission into the Union that they should
never set up such qualification, and 1t
would be bad faith to ignore it. It is little
curious that their sense of honor should be
SO delicate on this point, while 1t is so blunt
ed on another. The constitution declares
that If any State shall abridge the suffrage
by reason Of race, color or previous condi-
ton of servitude Its representation in Con-
gress shall be cut down. The suffrage is
abridged in most Of the Southern States to q
very large degree on account of race and
color. 1t is done by the banding together of
white voters. Technically it is not an
abridgment of the suffrage by the State, and
SO the penalty the constitution provides is
avoided. Thus we see that these Southern
white men Of so high sense of honor that
they VIII not impose an educational oualifica-
ton because 1t would conflict with some al
legged understanding years ago, do not scru-
pie to evade the constitution of the country
by a subterfuge and seize upon twice the
power to which they are fairly entitled.

FACTS ABOUT HONEY.
1t Is Not by Any Means the Purcst Form

1t Is Not by Any Means the Purcst Form
OF Sweets.
Honey differs from sugar i'll that it is
mixed sweet containing more or less
OF Impurities. Railways contains pollen
from the flowers from which the bees
havo extracted nectar and bogus honey
may be detected by noting this lack of
pollen. Honey may be manufactured Of
glucose and favored with pcnnyroyal
and littlc of the comb mixed in for ap-
pearanccs, but the pollen is lacking.
The bees in flying about get dust OH
their wings and dirt on their feet and
these go into tho honey. Some flowers
produce poisonous flavor which is
taken up with its sweets. There is a
place in Switzerland in which the bees
always produce poisonous honey at
certain times of the year. and the same
thing has been noted in certain parts of
England. Another thing, If the bees
got angry they inject into the honey O.
little of the formic acid which is the
poison of their sting. There is always
little OF this in any honey which serves
as an antiseptic preservative. This is
the reason why some people can not
eat honey without having hives
vi heIIlc raSn appear on the
skin. This formic acid is precisely the
samo kind of poison which is put into
the slim by tho hairs of the nettle. A
small boy whom 1 knew, was fond of
experimenting, and having heard of the
honey bag of tho bee, he caught bum
BILE bee and dissccted it until no found
what he took to be the honey bag, and
from this he squeezed drop on his
tongue. In very few moments he grew
dizzy and sick, for he had taken the
contents of tho poison bag instead of
the honey bag. lie has never been able
to eat honey since, although now grown
to manhood. The taste OF it makes him
sick and dizzy with the same sensations
he had when experimenting with the
humble bee
If tho bees arc much disturbed during
their work, the honey is always ''rank'
and apt to mako most people sick In
any case, it is not the best of sweets. If
one must have sweets, the best granu-
lated cane-sugar is the purest FORM

Will not be rubbed into the surface of
the stove as it should be, but remain as
fine dust to be afterward blown about
tho kitchen and cause generally grimy
appearance, so often seen in uncared for
kitchens. A fresh coat of black should
not be- applied oftcner than once a
month, when the fues should also be
cleaned out and tho interior of tho
stove thoroughly brushed out. Be-
fore putting on new backing, the
old backing should be washed off.
The new coat must now bo applied
and the stove thoroughly polished The
edges of the stove, if they are of pol
ished iron, should not be blackened,
but cleaned like a steel knife The
nickel knobs and other nickel parts of
the stove must be rubbed bright with
chamois skin or old shrunllen flannel.
An ordinary paint and whiting brush is
one of the best things with which to
apply backing to stove. A stiff brush,
such as is used for this purpose, is tho
best brush for polishing. During tho
month polish the stove with the polish
brush each morning, just after kindling
the fire. Keep an old cloth always on
hand in cooking. to rub off any grease
spot as soon as it occurs. If the spots
are obstinate few drops of kerosene

work of the stove should be rubbed off
