turesque path to the Saarstein, but the
mother soon declared this was no walk
for her, and they turned back.
What had seemed steep in ascending
was precipitous in the descent to ladies
unused to such exertions. The mother
suddenly slipped, and rolling from the
path over the side of the mountain fell a
distance of 200 feet. The daughter,
without a moments consideration, ran
full speed after her, rushing wildly down
the terribly steep mountain side, and it

Love and oratory.

At the oratorical contest held at Cot
ner university at Lincoln, Neb., Marion
Gadd took the second prize. The young
man hastily left the room after the an
nouncement of the prizes. A pistol shot
was heard, and when the students rushed
out they discovered that Gadd had
blown his brains out with revolver.
Later developments reveal the fact that
young Gadd was deeply in love with the
accomplished daughter of one of the
wealthiest citizens Of Lincoln, and that
she had promised to marry him in case
he won the first prize in the oratorical
contest; otherwise she would have moth
ing to do with him. He accepted the
proposition, with the above sad result

arrived in excellent condition, having
been shipped from Naples, Italy. Every
plant had on it more or less scale in
sects; some of them were completely
covered, so the bark could hardly be
seen. The trees were denuded of every
leaf, which, with the packing cases and
coverings, were burned, and the trees
disinfected, and were then planted Gin

retained three trees of each variety for
his own planting. When the trees were
distributed he trimmed them to bal

necessarily destroyed in digging. The
small branches thus cut off he used
for padding sticks, and thus
saved some eight or nine hundred buds,

Secretion of Wax by Bees.

In producing extracted honey with old
combs, do not the bees secrete more wax
than they can use with profit? In other
words. is not some of the wax wasted?
was query propounded and answered
recently in the American Bee Journal.
Professor Cook replied: Il do not
think so. l believe this waste of wax
imaginary. Bees secrete wax when they
need it." A. B. Mason said: "My bees
do not secrete wax unless they need 1t.
The idea that bees have to make wax,
whether they want to or not, is hum
bug, / believe" The editor said, LAS
bees only produce wax when needed, the
chance for waste is enthusiastically small. ="

Kerosene as a Paint.

Kerosene cannot be used in place of
hnseed oil advantageously by mixing
colors with it for painting on wood.
Kerosene strikes into wood at once, and
if used in that way would soon leave
only coating of dry color which would
easily brush off. Kerosene is refined
from the crude oil petroleum, and for
preserving wood from decay or prevent
ing the rusting of iron by covering its
surface with an oily coating the latter
is by far the preferable form for its use.
It should simply be put on with brush
like paint, but wholly without any color
ing matter.

A rapid but not most accurate method
is illustrated in Fig. /. A, b, represents

d, representing a pole just long enough to
measure this distance by touching either
end to the ground. The pole is first
touched to the ground at a, then tilted
over without moving the position of the
hand until d touches the ground, thus
measuring the half rod. The length of the
measure will vary as the person is tall or
short. Used in this way, person does
not have to stop at every measure. Fig. ,
is simply pair of wooden compasses with
legs eight or ten feet long, connected with
a stay rod, so that the points are s feet
inches apart, measuring half rod at
a time. The stay rod should be detacha-

Good Counsel Tor Amateur Beekeepers-
A correspondent in the American Bee
Journal gives this advice to beginners:
Keep things in order in the apiary.
Have your tools, empty hives, sections,
crates, ETC., in their respective places,
ready for use in case of need.
Never disturb bees while excited,
neither before nor during a thunder
storm, hot windy days, honey dearth
nor while robber bees are bent on pillage.
To avoid bee stings, proceed quietly
and with care while working among
your bees, do your work with dispatch,
and have your hive closed before the
bees become aware that you have been
near.
Never work among bees without a
smoker, but use it judiciously and on
proper occasions to keep them under
subsection and prevent their anger, but
in case of accidentally upsetting a hive
the spraying of the bees with cold water
will have the effect of quoting them.
When working among them for any
length of time do not think it too much
trouble to protect your head and face
with Leeveil. Watch carefully each
hive in your apiary, notice the doings of
each colony of bees, and have full I'M
derstanding of their wants and needs,
and you will seldom have to mourn over
heavy losses and bad luck.
