Dinwiddie Dots.

KINGSTON, Va, June Especial. THE
election Just over proved to be a Democratic
cyclone, only one district officer being elected
by the Republicans. who have run
Dinwiddie for nearly quarter Of
century. The Democrats have been
making aggressive campaigns for several
years. and it was apparent to the shrewd
observer prior TO the election that the " hand
writing was on the wall.
The rains have brought out the hay and
late-sOwn oats and given good season for
getting out the tobacco and sweet potato
crops. Tho farmers are very backward with
work. owing to the peculiar season.
Chidrens Day was observed yesterday at
Smiths Grove Sunday-school, Linwood
school combining wirh them The affair was
a success in every way. There were
many excellent recitatiOns and dialogues from
the scholars and excellent music Mrs. Bradt
presided at the organ, and MI. Bernard Lewis
was master of ceremonies. The crowd was
the largest ever seen on the ground on any
occasion. and did justice to the tempting
yiands spread out by the resident population.
Mr.. A. w. Hawks, near here, met with a
singular and painful accident Friday. His
team mred and he had them brought to the
rear OF the wagon and attempted to have
il pulled back on the firm ground. AS there
was nothing 10 guide the pole the front
wheels locked and the wagon was turned over
catching him under it and dragging him. No
bones were broken, but he was badly hurt.

Bookkeeping in Southern California.

Bee culture is a big industry in Southern
California, and so profitable is Il, and so little
expense and labor attaching 10 1t. that have
put out few hives and expect % make money
from them The largest bee farm in this town
belongs to merchant and he has lG0 hives,
with $1,000 bees in each, making 100000
bees IL is quite a colony. But 1t is not TO be
supposed that there will be an oyerstock Of
bees The life of bee in the working season
is but three weeks. On the second day Of its
existence it eats its way out of its cell and
commences storing honey. If bee dies
within the hive 1t IS dragged out by other
bees.
- Each hive has a queen bee. She is the mis-
tress of the hive and does no work She only
mets drone once during her life, which lasts
five years, and she has a capacity OF 5000 eggs
a day. IL is this tremendous increase that
keeps the stock of bees up. for II it were not SO
the colony would soon be dead. The drone Is
twice as large as thequeen bee, and the queen
bee nearly three times as large as the work
bee. The working bees will not tolerate more
than one queen bee and will kill the drones.
The drone's life is short. He dies after meet.
inc the queen bee. When colony IL without
a queen bee they will proceed 70 elect one.
The most singular thing about the queen bee
is. can she lay an egg so that i shall be a
Queen bee, drone or working beer fhat
puzzles me. The bees make these cells for
work bees. which are one gender. are smaller
than those Of the drones, while the cells for
the queen bees are like a peanut broken IN
half, or pear-shaped hanging down.
Now. some think that il is the size OF the
cell that regulates this, for myself have made
queen cells, and queen bees have.been hatchsd
in them. 1t is customary SON 9times. 10 take
away these queen cells and place them In
hives which have not them. This ~ Tor the
pnrpose of forming new colony. Bees are
extremely fond Of fresh water and will DO well
near a spring They especially delight in
swampy places where they can alisht and
drink in the water without danger OF drown
inc. II has been proved that the sage brush
makes a very good honey They are no
trouble through winter; twenty pounds Of
honey will feed a colony Of $4,000 bees:
The profits on 40 TO 100 hives is from si.l00
10 . 300 per annum. A man or woman can
attend 10 800 or 400 hives without feeling the
labor.

.Indpinp the Age of Hogs.

According to the Mark Lane Express the age
of pigs and hogs may be judged pretty
accurately by understanding their mode of
deutition, which it describes as follows
A pig is born with four front teeth: one
month afterwards II gets four more, one in
each side of the first pair in each jaw. At 3
months it has four more, which is all the
front temporary teeth it has. At months the
four outside teeth drop out, and are replaced
by permanent incisors. and the others are
replaced during the next year At years the
boar's tusks appear; at they begin TO lift the
lips at 5 they are seen outside the lips; at
thew project from the mouth, and after that
they grow longer After two years the sow's
front teeth have a black ring around the base
of them, and as the age increases the color of
the teeth deepens and they become worn. As
pigs, however, are rarely kept over two years,
this test gauge is not often required. OF re-
cent years. since pigs have been bred so as to
mature more rapidly, the teeth may indicate,
as with sheep and cattle more age than the
animals really have. A well-bred pig may
have all its permanent front teeth at eigh-
teen months, and this more rapid dentition
has sometimes led TO disputes as to the pigs

preciated by those who would like to, see the

Buy one or two drachms OF strie,hnia; take

will not carry it half that time. Try this, and

DISGR1CEFUL SCENES.
The Reformed Presbyterian Synod Again
Indulge in "a Snari.

PuTsBuRG, Pa. June 1.-Contrarv TO ex-
pectations. the trial Of the accused and sus-
pended minister's was not commenced at this
mornings session of the Reformed Presby
terian synod
This fact, however, did not prevent the
Synod once more engaging in the wrangle
that If possible. surpassed IN violence Of
language and action the wild scenes enacted
during the past week.
The church was crowded to the limit. Dur
inc the early hours Of the session it was most
exciting. The mere mention of the trouble
creating letter read by Dr. McAllister last
week was again the cause Of all the trouble
Ministers noted for their dignity and spirit Of
Christianity were at each other in the most
scathing language and were not bit back
ward IN characterizing each other as peryerters
Of the truth. During the debate the vast arl-
dience was worked up 70 state OF highest ex-
citement. The moderator was powerless to
control the warning clergYmen; his appeals
and commands went for nsught.
The trouble grew ont OF DIR. McAllister's eff
fort TO revise the records of Saturdays pro-
ceedincs in order that they might show the
action taken by him in his effort TO introduce
extracts from a private letter. A motion to
grant DIR. McAllisters request resulted in a
split and the matter was laid on the table. 1t
was during the discussion of this question that
the wild scenes were enacted Several times
ministers and audience joined in hearty ap-
Dlause, and other times almost every one
present would be IN sympathetic tearfulness.
The committee recommended that the sus-
pended ministers and those against whom Dr.
McAllister had preferred charges should be
granted a full and impartial hearing before
the synod. The report was received and laid
on he table for the present.
Rev Mr.. Stevenson asked the consent Of
the Synod TO Withdraw his resolution intro
duced Saturday. which called fora settlement
of the difficulty by resolution instead OF a
formal trial.
The committee on secret societies submitted
It's report.
