A BABY SAVED

Since birth my baby had running sores
all over his head, and the doctors said he
must die, for they could not heal them.
| used everything l had ever heard of,
but it was no good. He got so bad that
he would not nurse. My husbands sis
ter told me to try Sulphur Bitters as she
had great faith in them. used a bottle
and the sores commenced to heal. After
using two bottles more, the sores all
healed, and l considered my baby saved.

were cultivated on very large scale.
Thousands OF barges freighted with hives
were hoated up and down the Nile in order
to afford the insects pleasure on the flowers
along the banks.
There were no bees In America until
the seventeenth century, when the COM
mon black variety was brought over from
Germany. 1t is that kind which swarms
all over the United States to-day. But
within recent years beekeeping has been
reduced to scientific principles, and so il
has been sought to procure from them
abroad finer breeds. Important among
these Is the Italian. which was
fetched 70 this country first In 1859.
Italian bees have many ad-
vantages from the industrial point Of view.
They are docile and easily handled, they
are very prolific aud they protect their
hives better than the black ones do from
the ravaSes of the wax moths. These moths
lay their eggs In combs. and the Larvae feed
upon the wax aud pollen, destroying the
cells. In 1881 Mr. Benton. a well known
expert, went abroad and brought hither
other choice breeds from Cyprus, Syria and
Palestine. These, particularly the CyDrian,
are all very handsome and thoroughly bust
ness bees possessing extraordinary energy
in honey gathering. They are irritable and
for that reason difficult to handle. unless
one knows how.

engendered from ~ to 500 queen bees, de-
pending upon the race. IL left alone they
would nearly all be killed by being etuDg to
death in their cells, because bee household
can never have more than one mistress;
but the breeder removes the portion of the
comb which contains these queen cells be-
fore their occupants are ready TO emerge
and he puts one Of them, with a bit Of comb
and honey, into each of a number of min
iature hives made for the purpose, with a
few handfuls Of bees in each. Thus many
thousands of queen bees may be produced

Had Henry Wadsworth Longfellow died
about 1875 il lie presumable that some brief
notice of his life and writings might have
been provided for the readers of the En-

which time the Britannica called the roll,
Mr.. Longfellow may not be heard of in

When coal was first used in England
the prejudice against it was so strong
that the House OF Commons petit oned
the liking to prohibit the use of the
.'noxious" fuel. A royal proclamation
having failed to abate the nuisance, a
commission was issued to ascertain who
burned coal within the city of London
and its neighborhood, to punish them
by force for the first offense, and by the
demolition of their furnaces if they per-
sisted in tranSgreSSing. law was
finally passed making it capital Of
Tense to burn coal in the city, and only
permitting it to be used by FORCES in
the vicinity.
The first coins struck by the United
States mint were some half-dimes, In

from the circumstance as noted, and an

death. as in life, the best there is Of
racing is about him, and thousand
thoroughbredS are at work on the tan
bark tracks, and their footballs echo
about his grave whether at practice or
in the matchless contest he loved so well.
Fred Archer should not have died as,
or when he did," said the Duke Of Beau
fort to me one morning as we halted by
the side of the little city of the dead,
where his body lies within sight of the
grand stand at Newmarket. "Hc was
out of his mind when his attendants left
him, and a revolver by his side furnish
ed him an easy means of putting him
self out of misery over the loss OF his
wife, and the sad physical conditions
which at the moment held possession Of
him. He was the greatest master OF a
race horse who ever put his foot in ii
stirrup, and his achievements on
the turf will never be equaled by any
rider within our time. He was man
of remarkable judgment, fine courage,
a master Judge of pace, and over all,
above reproach in his professional life.
This is the meaning of this demonstra-
tion to-day as these folks flock about
his grave to do simple reverence to his
memory. 1t may seem strange to you
that a man in his position should be so
well regarded; but you must bear in
mind that our people have very differ
ent view of the sports of the field,
whether on the race course, or at the
hunt, than most citizens OF other cOun-
tries, and especially of your own"
The scene as | saw il the moment
that this incident and talk OF a busy
and interesting life and tragic death
took place was novel, spirited and away
out of the usual order. There was
much to excite wonder in one who lives
