Fluctuations In the Honey Crop.

This has not been good year for the
beekeepers, as there has not been half a
crop of honey. There is great differ
ence in seasons, so far as honey making
is concerned Though flowers come in
about the same profusion each year, they
do not contain the same amount of hon.
ey. Some years they seemed filled with
the sweet nectar, and the bees make fire
quent excursions and always return heav-
lily laden, and other years the busy little
workers scour the country far aud wide
and gather little honey. 1t has been
two or three years since there was a
large crop of the product, but when
there is beekeepers make plenty of mon
ey. In good year an average seasons
work for stand of bees is 200 pounds OF
honey, though a particularly good stand
will sometimes gather 500 pounds. The
product sells from 800 to $40 ton sc
that on Il good year person with l0(
stands of bees would make from 5000 tt
81 400 If every season was good one
a person could not find an odd job
that would reward his spare time any
better than keeping bees. Pomona Gal

An Episode in Autograph

| Autograph sometimes get
prominent persons into very unpleasant
positions. As an evidence of this fact
we find in an English periodical some
what amusing anecdote of Mr.. Joseph
| Chamberlain, who represents Birming-
ham constituency in the House of Com
mons in the British Parliament. 1t
seems that when Mr.. Chamberlain was
made IA cabinet MINISTRY he got hun
dreds of requests for his autograph.
For IA time he answered each one in an
autograph note, but the labor involved
became so great that finally he had Il
printed form prepared, running, ~ our
request of such Il date is hereby com

request came IN he simply signed this
blank form and let it go at that.
One day a tall raw-boned Warwick

Queen Victoria ON her birthday be-
slowed the honor of knighthood upon
thar noble temperance worker, DR.
Richardson, who Is now Sir Benjamin
Ward Richardson. Wings says of him !:
"All friends of temperance have re-
ioiced in the well-descrVed honor that
Her Majesty has recently conferred upon
the eminent physician and sanitarian
whose scientific aud literary labors have
for many years given him high posi-
tion in the medical world, and whose
faithf, and able advocacy of total alb
stinence has made his name a household
word in tens of thousands IF temperance
homes. Probably no man has done
more during the past twenty years to
destroy the Ignorant and superstitious
belief in the virtues OF alcohol AS a
beverage, and to promote truly hygienic
modes II eating, drinking. and living,
than DR.. Richardson. Nor has any man
done more thoroughly educational
temperance work for all classes than he.
lie has instructed the medical and sci
entlfe world rs to the true effects of
alcohol, he has written and delivered
lectures on the same subject for the edu
cation of the people; his Temperance
Lesson Book" has conveyed sound sci
entite teaching to the children of our
own aud other lands, and the results of
his careful investigation form the basis
of some of the most useful and con-
vincing addresses ON the public plat
form. DR.. Richardson's conversion to
total abstinence princir les was, AS is well
known, the result of scientific researches,
extending over three years, into the ma
ture and properties of alcohol, from
which researches he emerged fully con-
WINGED of the fallacy of the popular ideas
respecting that potent drug. Further
study has but strengthened these con-
victions. aud made of this eminent ply
stefan one of the most advanced and
out-spoken advocates of total absti-
nence.'

1t is noticeable and significant fact
that among all the failures in business
which have recently been published in
the columns Of the daily press it is rare
ly, if ever, that failure is noted among
the makers or dealers in strong drink.
The fact is explained in part by the
enormous profits of the liquor business.
profits largely augmented in many si-
looms by the cheating or outright rob
berry of drunken customers. Another
reason is that the retail dealers are large
~ "backed" by the money and influence
of the wealthy brewers or distillers,
and are thus practically insured pay
ing business. A third and final reason
for the almost invariable prosperity of
liquor sellers lies in the fact that the
drinking classes will have their beer and
whiskey no matter how hard the times
may be or how much they may be com
PEELED to pinch their outgoes in other
directions. The drinking man often
finds himself too poor to clothe his
family decently or to give them proper
food and shelter, but never too poor to
buy his beer or whislley AMI treat his
boon companions. Excuses are easily
found for denying bread and clothing to
wife and children, but excuses never bar
the way to the door Of the grog- shop

The mayor of springfield said to til,
Catholic Total Abstinence Union: "lii-
temperance, whatever else may be said
of it, is the cause Of great waste and
injurious to any community. The man
who drinks, gets drunk and is arrested
and put in Jail is Il waste. The police
man who arrests him is Il waste, the
Jail is IL waste, the. officials of the Jail are
Il waste, the court house, so far rs used
for the purpose of convicting persons OF
drunkenness or crime caused by drunk
enncss, is waste; the Judges and olli-
GERS of the court are II waste; the glass
of liquor is waste; and, going back
ward, the brewery is waste; the men
working in that brewery are waste ;

Il waste, in that they might be doing
something more beneficial to mankind

Rights of Bicycle Riders.

When the bicycle first made its ap-
pearance upon our highways, it was nat
ural, we suppose, for drivers Of horses
who were themselves put to fright and
danger by the fright of their horses to
bear for the time being no good will for
The novel vehicle, but now that horses
pretty generally have become accustom-
ed to the noiseless wheel there would APP
pear to be no longer any reason why
drivers should prosecute riders of the
wheel. But there are always few
cross grained people who never revise
their opinions and never forget their
spite.
A few weeks ago one of these ill bred
fellows followed trio of wheelmen rid
ing in the suburbs of Newark, drove
them off the road and otherwise NAL
treated them, for which he has been ar
rested and held to bail to answer at the
county court. And now we notice that
two suits have been brought in the SUI
preme court for damages-one against Il
person who carelessly left some plank in
the roadway opposite his premises,
against which wheelman collided in
the dark and was badly injured, and an
other by Il gentleman who while riding
ON the streets Of Bloomfield was run
down by a vehicle and seriously injured
In both these cases damages were laid at
$1,000, and the suits are brought as well
to test the rights of the bicycle rider to
the common use Of the highway as to
redress their own private injuries
-
cases ever begun in the supreme court
of our state, and their decision will
probably mark new era in the history
of this remarkable invention. Mon

the Value Of the Estate.
BROOKLYN. May IA New York morn
ing newspaper yesterday published a sen
s%ational story to the effect that Malcolm
w. Ford, the athlete, was endeavoring by
legal means to acquire a portion of his
fathers estate from which he was cut off
by will.
Proceedings have been begun in the su-
preme court, but their nature seems to
have been misconstrued.
Malcolm Ford is the plaintiff, and his
brothers, Worthington G. and Paul L.,
are the defendants. The last two named
were made executors OF the estate of their
father, the late Gordon l.. Ford. Malcolm
was disinherited, but his brothers agreed
that IL he did not contest the will he
should have a just share in the statement.
The present action Is simply a formal and
friendly one to discover the entire value
Of the estate that the division may be
made.
