Salt for Bees.

On account of the avidity With
which bees take salt, I suppose it is
as necessary to salt them as to salt
my horses, hogs and cattle. If one
does not keep q salt trough for the
bees they are apt to swarm about
his stock as we'll as troughs and many
are drowned; but so long as salt
water is given them they do not 20 or
bother anywhere else. But aside from
this question OF mere convenience, I
have found it safest to be guided by
nature; and since bees show such q
love for salt, it would seem necessary
for them, and hence should be our
practice to give it.
Where there are streams or ponds
convenient, bees especially it not
sailed will resort to these for water;
but even there are certain spots that
seem to yield mineral or barkish water
where they 90 to suck. This shows their
need OF somethingmore than ordinar-
lily pure water and since they leave
all other watering places for a salty
one, we can fairly conclude that it is
best to give it.-Wm. Camm, in
Beekeeper's Guide.

A Serious Joke.

According to recent newspaper re-
port, practical joker in Germany
had the tables turned upon himself
with serious consequences A man
by the name of Pfeifer got hold OF
some letter-heads of the German
Chancellor Caprivi, the successor to
Bismarck, and upon these sheets
wrote to the Burgomaster of Ham
burg requesting a report on the last
eclipse of the moon. The Burgomast>
er, thinking that the Chancellor had
honored him, was delighted, and call
ing number of aids, wrote a. long
and detailed account of the matter.
When the Chancellor received the com-
munication, he was filled with aston
lshment, regarding the Burgomaster
as a. crazy man. Two policemen and
an expert in lunacy, according to the
account, were sent to examine into
the Burgomaster's sanity. It was
soon discovered that the poor man
was the victim of a practical joke,
and that the Chancellor had not writ
ten on that subject at all. Then the
joker was found out, and sentenced to
six weeks imprisonment for fooling
the Burgomaster, during which time
he had ample opportunity to reflect
upon his joke. 1t is not likely that
Herr Pfeifer laughed very much over
the results.

SHE LOVES A HEN,

The Queer Craze Of New York
Lady.
At a little afternoon Sunday an up-
town train on the Sixth avenue ele-
waited Was crowded with passengers.
A stylshly dressed woman, handsome
and young, got on at Twenty third
street. Several gentlemen proffered
their seats. She smilingly accepted
the nearest seat.
Every one began to stare at her, or.
more particularly, at curious some
thing that she held in her lap. The
passengers could scarcely believe the
evidence Of their own eyes. In her
lap the woman held hen-a genuine
speckled hen.
There was not much OF the hen Wis
ible-only the head and neck. The
body reposed snugly in white silk
handkerchief, pinned about the hens
feathery neck, and the bird would
blink her eyes in evident enjoyment Of
the caress.
At Fifteenth street the woman and
her pet left the train. And now for
the hen craze.

Some Accounts Of Their Interesting

:; Here are two of DR.. Gordon Stables
good stories about dogs, in his new
book recently published in England:
On one occasion, lately, particu-
larry fine Newfoundland dog was sit

bone, when predatory mastiff came
along, and, being inclined to robbery,
a smart alteration arose. So vio-

dish was put on the floor or oilcloth.
One day her mistress told her she
must have her dinner on the oilcloth.

and all left the room, shutting the
door. A short time after this the bell
was rung smartly, and the servant,
entering the room, was surprised and

He Was Hit Hard.

Coney Island, Nov. 1-Joe Godfrey,
the cOlored man from Boston, was e-
feated in the fifteenth round tonight by
Joe Choynski, the Californian.
The crowd was two large for comfort,
and standing room only was to be had
by the time the first bout began. Peter
Jackson came in just before this bout,
and his reception was most hearty. He
was cheered to the echo as he took his
seat in his private box. 1t was nearly
8 o'clock when the contestants, Kid
Hogan of Brooklyn and Dolly Lyons of
this city climbed over the ropes. The
boys fought ut catch weights, owing to
the fact that Lyons could not get down
to weight, 122 pounds. They put up a
rattling fight full of science and hard
knocks combined. Lyons scored two
krock-downs, one in the third and one in
the seventh, but Hogan displayed more
science and landed frequently without
any return. The punishment inflicted by
both boys was severe and taken easily,
At the end of the ninth the game was
about even. In the tenth round fighting
was fast and furious, each man doing
his level best to square things, for this
was the last round of the bout. Hogan
dld most OF the work, and the referee
decided the fight in his favor. Both
men were on their feet, and while they
were pretty tired they were still good for
an unlimited number of rounds.
The preliminary fight between the
youngsters put the crowd in good
humor, and during the few minutes prior
to the big fellows coming on the stage
they chatted merrily about the merits
of Godfrey and Choynski. When Fred
Burns Went upon the stage to make tie
announcement for the big fight of the
evening the spectators scampered for
their seats and the best of order pre-
vailed. Joe Choynski was the first Of
the two pugilists to enter the ring. Ie
was accompanied by his seconds, John
McVey of Philadelphia and Jimmy Car

behind his opponent in entering the ring.
He was looked after by Grant Steele,

a Professor Who Knows How the
Universe Began.
M. Lagrange has communicated to
the Belgian academy paper on the.
formation of bodies in the universe.
In this parer he expresses the opinion
that, before any expenditure of work,
the quantity Of heat of the universe
was nil, that the temperature was
gradually raised above absolute zero
at the expense of work done by at
traction, and hence the formation of
solid bodies must have preceded that
OF liquids and gases; that, through the
gradual condensation of matter, and
consequent enormous development of
heat, the earth would attain, at least
In the parts near the surface, the
state OF fuidity necessary to it's form
and geological characteristics; then,
as the temperature gradually rose
with gradual agglomeration OF mat
ter, g. very dense atmosphere would
form, With pressure diminishing OUT
ward, and IN more advanced phase,
the temperature of this, after reaching
amaximum, would gradually diminish
causing liquefaction or solidifcation
OF certain matters at first vaporous,
while other solid bodies might remain
suspended in the atmosphere. Brief
~, M. Lagrange, in elucidation of the
basis of his original and remarkable
theory, as thus set forth, declares
that space is occupied by two SUBJ
stances, namely: One, attractive,
which is matter properly so called, or
material atoms; the other, repulsive,
which occupies the interatomic space,
and from which results, between any
two atoms, variable repulsion exer+
clsed at the surface of the latter.-N.
