Bookkeeping In the modern way
should be carried on at least to linn
tied extent by every intelligent family
in this enlightened age. Even one
swarm of bees in fair condition and
with proper care through the spring
and summer will furnish fifty to eighty
pounds OF honey, or as much as an
ordinary family will need, and it is
one OF the greatest delicacies obtaina-
bic. Excessive swarming must be pre-
vented. says Farm and Home, by cut
ting out the queen cells five days after
the first swarms have issued. Success
is largely due to fall management and
winter care, particularly in the
North. II short of stores they should
be given graduated syrup. If fed
early enough the bees will have this
food put into combs and sealed over
before the cold weather. For winter
ing an underground collar is best. as
the temperature ID even. 1t should be
well ventilated, should have few or no
vegetables in it, and dry sawdust should
be kept upon the floor to absorb any
moisture. The hives ought to be
raised from the bottom board at least
one inch to secure circulation of air
Ii the bees get uneasy the hives should
be lifted from the bottom boards once
a week and all dead bees scraped off
to prevent any foul odors from rising
into the hive and causing disease.
During warm nights the cellar door
should be opened ut shutdown and
closed again at daybreak. Bees cared
Tor in this simple manner will pay
their owners many times over the
money invested and time spent.

As the Christian Union saws, there
is deal OF common senee In this
story lately told of Edison, whether he
said 1t or not. A gentleman went to
the great electrician with his Young
son, who was about to begin work as
office boy in n well-known business
house. The father asked Edison for
motto, which the boy might take to
heart in his struggle for promotion
and success. After moments pause.
Edison said, laconically, Never look
at the clock
Edison meant. we take it, that the
man who is constantly afraid he is 60
ing to work over time or over hours
doesn't stand chance of competing
with the man who clears up his desk
no matter how long 1t takes. The
carpenter who drops his hammer. up-
lifted above his head, when the
whistle blows, is likely to remain n
second-class workman all his life.
The carpenter who stays fifteen min
utes to finish n job is working toward
shop OF his own.

Prepares the room with neatest care,
And lays my slippers ready there?

And plies the blnzing fuel higher,
And bids me draw my chairsIlll higher?

And grief disturbs my troubled brain,
Who sympathizes with my pain?
