comb containing the diseased and dried
up Larvae. To see the dead Larvae to the
best advantage stand with your face to-
ward the point of the compass where the
sun is and hold the comb down in front of
you, with what was the lower edge away
from you, so that the sun lights ND the
upper side, and so thai your sight strikes
across it at an angle Of 30 or 40 dogs.
This will make the presence of the dis
ease very evident
Following are comments made edito-
rally on the foregoing letter By Mr..
Root:
In former article Mr.. TAYLOR said:
"The dead brood is entirely dried up
mere scales, almost the color of the comb
itself, lying fast to the lower sides of
the cell and drawn back more or less
from the opening" In the sample of
comb sent there seemed to be a sort of
residue little darker in color than the
comb itself, lying fast to the lower sides,
as explained. 1t is, perhaps, exagger-
ated little bit in the engraving, but the
purpose is to show about how it lies on
the bottom sides OF the cells, or what
are the bottom sides when in the hive.
1t seems these scales are nothing but
maturated masses Of foul brood dried
up, and which the bees are loath to clean
up.

One Man Cot the Report.

Five reporters Of newspapers having
been. instructed to take verbatim re-
ports OF q speech by q celebrated
member Of Parliament, to be made in
a neighboring town, left by morning
train for a junction station. where
they hoped to catch another train
bound for the scene OF action As
they travelled along they entered in
to an agreement not to take. any I'M
fair advantage Of one another, no
matter what opportunity for doing
so might present itself. They arrived
at the junction too late for the con.
Meeting train, and were in difficulty
as to getting over the intervening
dozen miles OF country They went
prospecting-four thin scribes hurry
ing in advance OF veritable Falstaff.
At last they espied an old fashioned
wagon, drawn by lean horse, and in
q very few minutes the treacherous
four were ensconced in the vehicle, fill
ing it completely. In vain did the
man of fat remind them of the agree
ment. His approximations were re-
ceived with derision, and the driver
was ordered to start. The cheated
reporter appealed to the countryman,
Offering to give two pounds for a seat
on the dashboard. The offer was ac-
cepted, and the man slipped down to
help him up.
6 Stop!" whispered the reporter,
"I'll buy your horse for ten pounds,
cash down.
"Done!" said the driver, and the
gold was handed over.
''Now," Said the owner Of the horse,
'etake him out OF the traces and help
me on his back"
1t was done, and the horse and rider
were soon lost to view. Next day only
one newspaper could give a full report
/ OF the speechifylng at the meeting,
and four belated journalists had a
bad time Of it with their respective

ish though lie was, Clssy recognized
her lover.
He did not recognize her. He was
quite de!irious, and for weeks Cissy
watched by him, and under her tender
care and the care of the old house
keeper from Madderly place, they oung
man slowly regained his wonted health
and strength.
At last Dick was able to tell his
story. It was short and soon told.
He had been painting one day in a
very lonely spot when he was sud-
denly attacked by banditti. These
stunned him and robbed him ofevery-
thing he had except his paints.
When he revived it was only to
wander about in a penniless condi-
ton, which brought an illness which
laid him at deaths door. He was
nursed through it by some honest
peasants, with whom, when he recov-
cred. he left his paints as part remu-
neration.
Then he struggled on, begging his
bread, through Germany and France
to the sea coast. A compassionate
skipper had brought him across the
channel to Dover, and he tramped to
London; but the fatigue and toll he
had gone through proved too much
for him, and he fell down senseless
outside this very booksellers shop.
"And your picture?" asked Cissy,
when Dick had finished.
"Ihat | dispatched three months
after | left England. [ never heard
how it Jared. [ was desperate and
sent it off without the slightest hope
OF its being hung, and according to

said Cissy; cit is q beautiful picture,
and a lot Of people wanted to order
some like it, only no one knew where
you were or what had become Of you"
"But tit all right now" said Dick,
smiling, "and as soon as ever I'm
strong again we will be married and

should like to reward those good
peasants"
All happened as the young lovers
wished. Dick was at first for keeping
the valuable old volumes, but the
bookseller who would vepurchased
from Cissy, and had tended Dick in his
hour OF need, looked SO sorrowful
when he heard it that the happy
couple made him a present OF them.

And then they were laid in the drawer;
There was no one to wear them, you know.
For our own beautiful baby
Had gone to a better cline:
She had entered the golden city
Where we hope to meet her some time.
And thoughin the mending basket
There still were stockings small,
There We're none for the tiny baby
With daintiest feet of all.
Yet again from the open heaven
A wonderful gift has come,
And the sound of a baby's cooling
Is heard again in our home.
And tiny feet are moving
Along the nursery floor,
And dainty baby stockings
Are needed now once more.

And Of one in the Fathcrland?

FEATHERS ON TIE FARM.
Possible Profit in Saving and Care
fully Curing Them.

Possible Profit in Saving and Care"
fully Curing Them.
II the feathers from all sources on
the farm should be carefully cared for
and sold they would amount to a
neat little sum in the course OF a
year. While geese and duck gathers
are preferable, yet there is demand
for chicken feathers, when properly
assorted. In doing this the shorter
and softer feathers should be put by
themselves and cured either in
the sun and air or by artificial heat.
1t is very necessary to cure the green
feathers in order to keep them from
spelling at the quilts and yielding a
bad odor that might ruin the whole
lot.
We priced some pillows to day in a
furnishing house and were consider
ably set back at the price asked for
them. Three dollars for couple of
pillows that weighed only
four pounds and the feath-
ers were only second-class at that.
The best quality OF fresh homegrown,
put up in factory at Nashville were
quoted much higher. The first quota
ton was on pillows made in Chicago
and simply guaranteed to emit no I'M
pleasant odor. The feathers in them
felt bunchy and harsh. Prime geese
feathers bring so to 70 cents a pound.
White OF Pel1in duck feathers sell near
" as high as geese feathers.
1t strikes us that in a state as well
watered as the State OF California,
where water fowl may have the ad-
vantages OF the very best and most
natural surroundings, it would pay to
raise ducks and geese for their feathers
and meat. The latter can certainly
be sold at cost OF production, which
leave the feathers produced as clea,
profit.-Breeder and Horseman.

THE TAME JAY.
The Daily Life of This Bird CT Score
tive Mischief.

tive Mischief.
Among the birds which my children
raised this year is one which gives US
more pleasure than | ever expected.
It is the blue jay, and he is the most
cunning plumed fellow you can think
OF. Ihad to clip his wings because he
would not stay in cage, but liked to
hop and futter about the house. He
is not afraid OF the dogs, but will hop
around and about them, sit on the
head o. a big blood hound and yell at
the top Of his voice just for mischief.
He deies all the chickens if, they try
to take some food away from him. [
suspect his terrible war cryscares them.
He will sit on our shoulders and hands
and beg for food, but as soon as his
appetite is satisfied he takes what
more is offered him and hides it away
in some nook. Sometimes ne will put
it down in my vest pocket or under
the collar OF my outing shirt. Water,
he likes exceedingly well, and shows
signs OF disgust if without his regular
bath; and 10, howhe will jump in when
the dishpan is filled with fresh, cool
liquid drink, dive, splatter, and yell
for JOY! Then out he goes to the sun
ny lawn and lies down on one side
first, spreading the opposite wing;
then he turns o yer to spread and dry
the other one. He will also take dry
sun baths in the same manner.
II nobody is around he willperch on
chair on the porch and sing and he
can sing right well in a low voice, imi-
tating other birds. His efforts to
talk are also remarkable Every
body in the house loves him, but we
have to keep out OF his reach every
thing that glitters and is MOTTO heavy
for his strength. This, OF course, is
the inherited vice OF the corvine tribe
and the only complaint can raise
against him. But, takingit all around,
can highly recommend to lovers Of
pet birds to raise u tame young blue
Jay, as it will certainly be source Of
great pleasure to them.-ForesU and
