A Philadelphian has an umbrella
bought at the Paris exposition with
which he has been alarming, or anus
ing. as the case may be, his friends.
One evening he was walking with
a companion along a lane near his
suburban residence. 1t was raining
slightly and the umbrella was hoisted.
While they were in deep conversation
noise like the firing of toy pistol
was heard, followed by slight whiz-
zing sound as if some light body was
rushing rapidly through the air. In a
second a pretty piece of fireworks burst
overhead and sent down a glittering
shower of multi-colored fire. The
friend made a startled movement,
peered cautiously around in the dark
ness and remarked that it was a queer
sort of a night for anybody to choose
to give a pyrotechnic exhibition out
in the country. The owner of the
umbrella assented and they resumed
their walk
Pretty soon there was another ex-
plosion, and a second rocket burst
high up in the air. A third and a
fourth followed in rapid succession,
causing the mystified man to jump
and rush about in a greatly excited
condition. He was quickly Gained,
however, when the umbrellas propri-
etor handed it to him and told him
to touch a small protuberance that APP
peared to be simply part of the elab-
crate ornamentation. Then the fifth
rocket assembled. 1.-The show is over"
said the returned traveller, ''for you
can only load the stick with five pieces
of fireworks at time. l paid $125
for the umbrella and 100 loads, but /

stick is, of course, hollow, and the fer
rule is closed with lid that works on

worked by the pressure which you
have just made on the handle and

with the miniature rocket. The whole

The Correct Bee Space.

"There is undoubtedly certain space
which the bees are least inclined to fill
with wax or propolis. What, according
to your own experience, is the exact
measurement of the correct bee space?
The foregoing query was recently asked
and answered in The American Be
Journal.
Mrs. L. Harrison replied: Three
eighths of an inch; possibly a shade
iscant.
A j. Cook answered: Scarce I of al
inch: about SIG of ar inch.
e. NJ. Doolittle said: Five-sixteenths
of an inch.
James Heddon replied: The same that
Father Langstroth gave us over thirty
years ago-scant 1 of an inch, or, more
exact, ZIG of an inch above the frame
of an inch will do very well at the ends
of the frames, and J inch is all right at
the bottom, below the frames.
J. E. Pond said: 1t is impossible to fix
frames in practice SO that they will space
exactly throughout the whole hive.

inches wide, spacing the frames so that
a Z inch dummy will lit closely in one
side of the hive. | use the dummy for
convenience in working, and consider
the spacing as above stated to be as
nearly right as possible to get it.
The editor concluded with the state
ment that the exact measurement of the
space required for bees. for easy passage,
is 5-16 inch, but they will not fill a space
with comb which is not more than 4

fence is that with single wire there is
no provision for expansion and contrac-

a twisted wire without barbs, which
would of course make the fence cost
more. The cost of the fence is as fol-

Sailing Butter.

The excellence of the butter made
from the fragrant pastures can only be
preserved for any length of time by the
best methods of churning and sailing.
Butter that otherwise might be classed
as good is often reduced to an inferior
grade by the manner in which it is
treated at the time of sailing A great
deal of butter is overchurned, by which
it is pounded into creamy, pasty con-
dition, exactly the opposite of what it
should be. To get the best results from
sailing butter the churning should stop
when it has fairly granulated. At this
stage the buttermilk should be drawn
off and the butter washed with cold
water or cold, weak brine, until it runs
off clear. Then strong, clear brine may
be poured on, to remain until the butter
has absorbed enough of the salt, or fine,
dry salt-one ounce to the pound
should be sifted ON and worked in so
that it will dissolve. After this light
second working should be given to clear
it of any buttermilk that may be drawn
out by the sailing. Throughout the en-
tire process the utmost care should be
taken not to break the grain of the

Root Crafts and Whole Roots.

Professor Budd says on this most vexed
question: "a duchess or any other abso-
lutely hardy variety will make a good
tree if grown from cutting, and when
grated ON short piece of root it prac.
tically is a cutting, as the piece of root
only starts it, and roots are thrown out
always from the cion. Fully 90 pei
cent. of our 3-year-old apple, pear, cherry
and plum trees are on their own roots if
they have been grated with long cion
on a short root and set deeply. Yet the
crown graft is the best, and nursery
men could afford to make only one tree

idea is nonsense, as it would have to be

Bacon's ''Instauratio Magma" was de-

The critics have shown themselves
very poor judges of style, either in lit
erature or art. As a general rule an
author of any merit or seriousness
could not possibly do more foolish
thing than take their advice. Turner
was incomparably the greatest painter
of his age, yet his style during the
greater part of his life furnished a
common joke to every scribbler, and
fiedged the callow plumage of every

his own age was produced in great
measure by his style; yet his style was
for some time denounced as travesty
of English which was perfectly intol-
cradle. Mr.. Ruskin is now almost
universally regarded as the greatest
living master of English prose, vet
