BEE SUGGESTIONS.

Bees, it is said, object to thrive if dishon-
estly come by; on the contrary, they forth
with pine away and die
The swarming of bees on piece of dead
wood is regarded as a sure sign of death in
some districts of England
In some parts of England the entrance
of a humble bee into a cottage Is looked
upon as a certain sign of death.
To sell bees for money is considered n
most unlucky proceeding, hut they may be
bartered away and all will 20 right
Quarrelsome people, if inclined to live in
the country and keep bees, are warned to
mend their ways or their hives will soon
become deserted
In France, when the mistress dies, the
custom is to tap thrice on the hive, repeat
ing these words in French: Little bees,
your mistress is dead"
1t is a common saying in Hampshire,
England, that bees do not succeed at all in
storing up honey whenever there are wars
abroad.-London Standard.
In some parts of England the bees are
not only informed of death in the family
but their apiaries are decked with Grape
and the bees are invited 10 the funeral.
Informing bees of death in family is
custom still practised in many parts Of
England. IF the necessary formalities were
not fully conforIned with the Gees would
certainly take offense and leave their hives,
never to return.
In Lithuania, Poland, when the master
or the mistress of the house dies, not only
the bees, but the hive stock generally are
supposed to be acquainted with Bhe fact by
the rafting Of bunch of keys, and if this
were omitted it is thought the stock would
die

Dragon Trees.

The vegetable and plant life on the Ca
nary Islands has not so luxurious growth
as that which is found on the MadeiraS.
Nevertheless there is great variety Of in
teresting plants which well repay the at
tention Of botaaiSts, and some parts OF the
islands are like beautiful gardens.
Of all the botanical wonders which can
be seen there the one which is perhaps
most worthy Of special mention is the
dragon tree (dracRna draco). Alexander
Won Humboldt was the first one to direct
attention to this gigantic tree.
The example of this kind of tree which
was measured by him was in the garden
region Of OTotaVa, on the northern coast of
the island of Teneriffe. and had a trunk
circumference of seventy-nine feet. Hum
boldt reckoasd It's age to be ten thousand
gears, but the latest critical researches
provethRt he placed the age much too high.
The next largest tree of this species which
Is known today is the dragon tree of Icod
lie los BinoS, on the western coast of Ten
eritfe
This tree was carefully measured in 1857,
and again in 1884 The first time the cir
cumference Of the trunk, at the height of
q little less than three meters from the
ground was found to be nine and one-half
meters; Jwenty-Sevou years later it was
eleven meters, seventy centineters, more
than thirty eight feet. The tree, therefore,
has been proved to increase in size much
more rapidly than Humboldt supposed.
The top of this tree Is of thick clusters of
sword shaped leaves on rather soft, Pliable
branches, and spreads out in very pict-
uresque manner.-Youth' s Companion.

cultivation in the West Indies has vastly
