"HOW DOTH THE LITTLE BUSY
BEE"

Last Wednesday afternoon the spirit of the
sweet spring time seized upon our neghbor and
good fellow citizen, j. Swank OF this snug little
hurgh Of Esteyvile, and he rpade trade for a
change Of work with one Of his brother tuners,
Weeden by name, a well-known expert in holding
the pillow. AS they lacked the necessary farm
machinery, Chase, the market gardener fur
nished them an outfit, consisting of his thorough.
bred Morgan colt and his best pillow. Every thing
worked well and furrow after turrOw in Swank :
garden was turned over with an artistic touch.
The job neared completion. and the hearts of
these farmer began to swell with pride, when the
pillow ran through swarm of bees, scoring a
lively point, which was sight to behold-and
also L. feel, The colt made better than $40
time for the pasture. and veracious witnesses
aver that the sparks flew from Werdrn's boot
heels as he went for the brush. And Swauk, oh
where was he Don't ask until the dust gets set
tied, aud he finds Il harrow to rake in his bees
When ht finally got up to shake himself his
friends say he rvaled In appearance tile best Gin
uamon bear show ever seen on our streets. There
is IA fellow on the back seat who thinks there arr
many fine points in bee culture when turned ~
with a pillow. REE

THE FEATHERED TRIBE.

There has been made list of 210 birds
which inhabit Alaska.
A bird of immense wing power is the
tiny storm petrol. the smallest web footed
bird known. 1t belongs to every sea- and
has often been observed 1900 miles from
the nearest land.
The parrot has not the monopoly of the
power of talking among birds. The my
hah, species Of startling is very initiative
and says good morning" very plainly in
response to a salute.
A golden eagle weighing thirty-five
pounds was killed short time ago on the
Sisseton reservation, Montana. The bird
stood three and half feet high and meas
ured nine feet from tip to tip.
The tailor bird makes it's nest of long
leaves, which it sews together with the
6ber of a plant, first piercing the holes in
them with it's beak. The bottom of the
nest has n heavy layer of cotton.
Supply the weaver birds with rs much
string and straw as you please and they
: will use it all up faster than you could
imagine possible in weaving, composing
their fabric with perfection and elabor-
ateness simply astonishing.
There are parrots in New Zealand that
live on sheep flesh. They attack the living
docks and bite out the flesh with their
strong beaks, choosing the portions in the
small of the back, where the fat about the
kidneys is especially succulent.
There are certain birds-some of the
cuckoos of the cid world and the common
cow blackbirds' of America-which never
ouild nests of their own, but lay their eggs
IN the nests of other birds and leave them
70 be Matched by foster mothers.
The African rhinoceros bird feeds on
the vermin which infests the big animal.
1t is always found with rhnoceros, and
when its huge food provider is asleep the
bird sits on the beasts back, ready to give
warming in case danger approaches.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.

Mayor Chaplin, Of Brooklyn, says success
waits on middle age
Governor David B. Hill never lets his
plans be known, and believes that in that
method lies the secret Of success.
Ex-Secretary of State of New York Fred
Cook says millions often come by luck,
md believes that luck has much to do with
success in this world.
Parnell, like the late Samuel j. Tilden,
cultivates friendships outside the circle Of
his life work, and believes they 20 far to-.
ward winning success in life.
Chauncey NJ. Depew acts on the theory
that the secret of success lies in getting
the best assistants and holding them strict
iy responsible for their work.
r. G. Brown, the most successful sales
man in his line in New York, says that in
all businesses the secret 10 the possession
Of friends; the more friends the more bus-
ness.
Jay Gould confdes his intentions to no.
body, and believes that ia knowing your
own business thoroughly and letting no
,nc else know anything whatever about it
lies the secret OF success.

The American magazines have come
to be recognized the world over as the
best illustrated and most ably conduct
ed: in fact, it is said that larger edi-
tions are sold in England Of at least
two of our leading magazines than of
any Of the English monthlies. This
condition has resulted from the fact
that the American magazines hesitate
at no expense, either for the purchase
Of manuscript or illustration. $4,000
has been paid by one magazine for a
single series. Millions are invested in
the business, and they can we'll afford
to pay any price for an article of un-
usual interest. Probably no single
cause is having such an effect in the
education of both old and young
America as these magazines. They
are penetrating into every household.
Their beautiful engravings serve as in
structors even to those unable or too
busy to read. The most popular auth
ors recognize that they can obtain
more money from the magazines than
by publishing in book form. In prop
ortion to bound volumes, the magazine
gives as four to one. Take for in
stance the Cosmopolitan, which con-
tains annually>I556 pages by the lead
ing writers of the world, and more
than 1900 illustrations by clever artists.
That would make four volumes OF
nearly 400 pages each, yet it is furnish
ed to the subscriber at only $40 a
year. The four bound volumes which
it would make would be worth on the
| book stands not less than $Ia.oo. 1t
seems impossible that SO much should
| be furnished for so little, and it is only
when the number reaches 100000 OF
| upwards that such work can be turned
out at profit to the publisher. Form
erly it was considered impossible to
place such magazine before the pub
lie for less than $500 per annum, and
the predictions were numerous, when
the price Of the Cosmopolitan was
fixed at $2.4o, that it would be impos
sible for it to survive at such figure.
The publisher believed that a frst-class
magazine at the low price of So. &C
would be quickly appreciated by the
public. His expectations have been
more than fulfilled, and the December
issue of the Cosmopolitan reached the
| 100, 900 mark.

MRS. BEECHBR's STORY.
THE GREAT PREACHERS WIDOW is TO
WRITE OF 'MR. BEECHER AS l KNEW
HIM."


1t is granted to but few women to
be part of such an eventful life as has
been that of the wife of Henry Ward
Beecher. No man of this century had
such busy life, filled with so many
honors and achievements and to view
such a career through the eyes of his
lifelong companion is a pleasure rare
ly given to a public. Mr.. Beecher
was lover Of the domestic freside.
"My home is my temple" he once
said, and in that home he gathered
round him what his nature loved best:
birds, flowers, and dainty bits Of china
and costly gems. If he was great in
public life, Mr.. Beecher was greater in
his home-lfe In the one capacity he
gave himself to the public in the
other he reserved himself for his fam
lily. In this latter light he will be
viewed by his widow in a notable
series of reminiscent papers in the
Ladies Home Journal, of Philadel-
phia, during 1891. The articles will
cover the entire period of their mar
riage from the first year of married
life, when the couple lived on $500
for twelve months, until the closing of
Mr. Beechers great career. Mrs.
Beecher will tell of "Mr. Beecher as l
Knew Him." and thousands will glad
ly listen to her interesting story.

Indigestion

IS not only distressing complaint, OF
itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feebled, is the parent Of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers Sarsaparilla
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, Of Brockway
Centre, Mich.:-
oliver complaint and indigestion
made my life burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
oil. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that j took seemed to do
any permanent good until commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla could see an improvement in my
condition, My appetite began to return
and with 1t came the ability TO digest
all the food taken, my strength inn
proved each day, and after few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, l found myself well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me
new lease Of life."
