Bees and Honey.

Bees and Honey.
Those who have bees this season
seem to have honey, and plenty OF
it too. II matters not whether they
have the bee.palace, beehive or
piece of hollow log with board on
one end of it, they have honey all
the same. That sweet luscious hon
ey that the patient little bees have
found deposited in the fragrant
flowers or upon the green foliage in
the form of honey dew, which falls
so plentifully night after night as
did the "manna' from heaven in
days of old. 1t is pleasant to watch
the tiny creatures as they perform
their daily work with that indus
try and persistency peculiar only
to themselves. 1t is also pleasant
to eat the nice rich honey after it
has been taken from the hive and
placed on the table. But 1t is not
quite So nice for an amateur bee
raiser to deal directly and person.
ally with the bees themselves.
Why? you ask. Simply because
some of the honey makers have a
prospecting disposition, and when
you proceed to relieve them OF
their hard earned stores they fire.
quently proceed to use a sharp in
strument, that they keep concealed
about their person, in the way of
boring a few holes into the cuticle
of the hands and faces, prospecting
for natural gas or other mineral
resources. The augur however
seems to be loaded with dynamite
or some other combustible sub
stance, as an upheaval of the sur
face generally takes place in the
neighborhood of the prospect hole
Some people have faculty OF
settling all difficulties between bees
and themselves by arbitration

and the elements composing the

Obituary.,

Obituary.
Died near 'Unitia, on the 9Th of
June 1891, Samuel Donaldson, aged
seventy-five years, two months and
thirteen days, and was inferred in
tho cemetery at Unitia.
His parents VIM. and Elizabeth
Donaldson, emigrated from Virgin.
la and settled IN the eastern por-
ton of Blount County, in the early
settlement of the country. He was
the youngest and last of six sous
to depart this life. When about
twenty-three years old, he came to
Unitia and joined in co-partnership
in the mercantile business with his
brother, the late James H. Donald
son of this place.
On September 5th 1874, he was
married to Rachel Ann Griffitts,
daughter of John Griffitts, Esq, with
whom he lived happily for forty
years. She died about eight years
ago. They had born unto them
three daughters and four sons, all
of whom are living, except the old
est daughter, Mrs. John G. Kasen-
berg, who died in Kansas several
years. ago. A few years after he
was married he sold his interest in
the business to his brother and pur-
chased a farm about three miles
north of Unitia, on Gallahar's creek,
where he has resided ever since.
BY patient industry and frugality
he made a comfortable living for
his family. He always had a great
love for his children and was ever
ready to make any sacrifice or un-
dergo any hardship for their benefit
or pleasure. He gave them all a
liberal education. He had many
noble traits of character, honest,
virtuous and generous; a remarka-
BILE cheerful, genial and happy dis
position; benevolent and obliging to
all. He was never known to speak
harsh words against any person
He did not have an enemy in the
world, was loved and respected by
all who knew him. Although hi
had been a sufferer for many years
; and almost blind since 1861, was

The Production of Physical Beauty.

The Production Of Physical Beauty.
The idea of beauty is wholly relative
and varies with places and times.
Artists make beauty to consist in car
tain proportions of the parts of tho
skeleton and in the harmony of the.
muscular development We might
perhaps be more definite by saying that
to be handsome at rest and in motion
the man ought to present the traits q
health and moderate strength, and In
addition to be in possession Of his means
of locolnotion and of natural defense
This view Of beauty originates in the.
consideration that there is necessary
relation between vigor, skill, agility
and the outer form of the body at rest
and in motion. Thus defined, the type
of beauty, in a given race or medium,
is an ideal which we seek to revive BY
physical education.
It follows that man specially de-
voted to any one exercise cannot b
handsome. This may be said of all tho
professions that localize muscular work
in restricted region of the body.
There are, however, some sports that
have the advantage of exercising equal
ly the upper and lower limbs, SUCH
for example, as wrestling, French b5f'
ing, swimming and canoeing With 6wc
oars and sliding seat. A good gym.
nastics includes complete exercises and
incomplete or unsymmetrical exercise
under such a condition as that thsy
shall correct one another, and that til
work shall bear upon the lower and
upper limbs. George Demeny in Pop
ular Science Monthly.

Something Abpnt the Weather.

The weather Yesterday was moro like
summer than late fall. 1t was warm,
and part OF tho day the sun shone
bright. Possibly it shonc bright all day,
but along about noon, and indeed tor
the most part Of the forenoon, the log
was SO thick that nobody on earth
could tell whether it was shining at all
or not. Last night the mir felt like rain
and the sky was clouding up ominously,
The signal flags displayed Yesterday in

foretold snow, but it would take cold
