THE HONEY BEE EX0NEhnTED,

Exhaustive experiments have been
conducted under the auspices OF the
department OF agriculture to decide if
the honey bees are deserving of the
severe condemnation received in some
quarters from fruits growers. Neither
care nor expenses was withheld.
Hives were kept within building
from which the bees could not escape.
In this grapes, peaches, pears and
piums, varying from green to dead ripe
were placed. The bees were deprived
of food and left with the fruit exposed.
Many came to the fruit, but never
broke the skin; but when they found ii
broken they fed upon the exudlng
juice. They showed no tendency to
use their jaws In cutting open a
place.
The test lasted thirty days; other
bees were tried with similar results. In
all cases food was taken only from fruit
which had been previously broken
Consequently 1t appears that bees will
not lnjure sound fruit. Professor Pan
ton, OF the Ontario Agricultural college
says that this is what might have beer
expected when the structure of the
bees mouth is considered. 1t Is quite
different in the case of wasps, which
are supplied with jaws suitable to break
into the skin. and in all probability
they are the cause of tine injured frui
upon which complaining observers have
seen bees feeding.

ROADSIDE FENCES.

Two neat, attractive fences we're de-
scribed not long ago in American GaHz
dening. The first consisted of two or
three strands of wire, with an embank-
ment of earth drawn up steeply under
meath. If there were any stones in this
ridge they were deeply covered. The
ridge was we'll sodded and a wide,
shallow ditch lay between it and the
track OF the roadway, so that all except
just the embankment itself could be
readily moved with machine. This
roadside presents as neat and trim an
appearance as any other piece of
meadow land, and to judge from indi
cations the yield CT hay had been suffi-
lent to pay very good interest at least
on the Co..: Of putting the roadside in
shape.
The other plan of fence was plain
rough, board structure, with the ground
around it perfectly level and we'll culti-
vated. Black cap rasberries grown
from directly beneath 1t were trained IN
and out among the boards for support,
the canes being allowed to grow quite
tall and spreading On a much travel
ed highway such berries would doubt
less be somewhat injured by dust, but
this fence was on quiet road, where
little dust arose, and the result was a
neat roadside, with an abundance Of
easily accessible fruit for family use.

TRYING TO GET EVEN DON'T PAY

Some peoples shoulders are loaded with chips,
They're looking for insults and sights
And sometimes the days seem almost too shott
And then they lie awake nights
Thinking and planning what they will do,
And how they'll get even with those
Who thoughtlessly knock from their shoulders a
chip,
Or carelessy step on their toes.
All of which leads me to say
That for trouble and grief
It's my honest belief,
Trying to get even don't pay.
1 know it is natural to hit people back,
And give them as good as they send;
And also know that wrangling and strife
Must sometime come to an end.
It's better, by far, to put up witha grief
And appear to submit to wrong,
Than try to "get even," the way Of the world
And most OF us 20 with the throng.
All of which leads me to say
That for trouble and grief
It's my honest belief
Trying to get even don't pay.
As the world is made up there's livery few saints
And there's very few more to be born;
The average man looks out for himself
All day from the earliest morn.
II ying to '.gct even is a natural trait,
Since the time OF ''Old Adams fall,
But experience shows, as everyone knows,
That honey is cheaper than gall"
All OF which leads me to say
That for trouble and grief
It's my honest belief
Trying to get even don't pay.

and rare ability is the deep brown
with no mellowness, but a look on it:
surface as of high polish.
This eye reads you through and
through and is the index of nature
calculating, cold and hard in business
dealing, yet staunch and true in its
friendships.
No matter of what color, beware the
eyes that have no desire to look you
full in the face. There is something
wrong behind the shifting, uneasy
glance, and the owner of such optics
will prove to be unworthy of trust.
Read well the signs, for if actions
speak louder than words, eyes speak
even louder than actions, and to be

either abandons his project or merely
cherishes it in secret. and dies without
disclosing it. Surely such loss to the
world must be laid at the door of those
who have stifed his hopes and weaken
ed his hands by their words of dis
couragement.
AS we have said, most of the evil
thus wrought is unintended, and much
of it is unconscious. 1t is indeed well
that the injury it works is not measure
of the guilt OF those who produce it.
Many are doubtless sincere in their
prognostics. Difficulties and dangers
naturally arise in their respondent
minds, and they simply give them
utterance, believing it to be service.
Some are unimaginative, and cannot
picture to their own mines the success
of grand idea; others lack sympathy
and never dream of the pain of crushed
hopes, while few may be envious and
take pleasure in quenching an enthusi-
asm they cannos feel, and nullitying
efforts they cannot put forth. But
whatever be the cause, the effects are
SO disastrous to human energy and hap
piness that we shall all do we'll to search
our own conduct in this respect. If
we are, to any degree, dampening the
hopes, thwarting the plans. and dis
couraging the endeavors of one who is
struggling to make them fruitful, we
may be very sure that we are fighting
against the eternal principles of good.
Even though the idea may be mis-
taken one, and the effort sure to fail,
it is better and kinder to let it die a
natural death than to stihe it premature
ly. OF this, however, we can seldom
be sure, and we may never know how
great a cruelty to the individual, and
how great loss to the world, we are
ln1ictipg by crushlps~hopes that we do
not share, and Encouraging efforts that
we could never make.

strange beings vanished and silence
reigned.
The black claw dropped to the
table. 1t was such a h1deous sight
that the miller covered it with a
cloth, that he might not see it. He
kept watch all the night. and early
in the morning Mr.. McKin, who had
been told that firing had been heard
in the mill, came to make inquiries.
The miller told his tale, and McKin
complimented him on his bravery.
OF course he was desirous OF seeing
the amputated claw, but the miller
proudly drew away the cloth. Be-
hold! there lay upon the table, not
a claw, but a woman's beautiful
hand right hand, on the middle
finger of which cleaned splendid
cluster diamond ring. At TIE sight
OF this horror seized the miller, and
Mr.. McKin seemed about to die.
He knew the hand; he knew the
ring. Then, without a word, he
walked out of the mill and home
word and into his wife's chamber.
She was in her bed, as usual. The
maid, pale, with a great bruise upon
her forehead, interposed to prevent
his approach.
Madame is very i'll, she said.
Out OF my way, woman! he cried
and pushed her aside.
Then, bending over his wife's bed,
but without his usual show of ten
derness, he said sternly:
Show me your hand.
She thrust forth her left one.
The other, he said.
She uttered scream and turned
down the counterpane, there was
none to show-only a bandaged
stump, from which the hand had
been severed.
The next morning the whole vii
lage was in wild excitement, for Jack
McKin, whom they all knew and
loved so well, had gone to the grave
yard and there shot himself through
the heart beside his mothers grave.
And the servants had told their tale
aud the miller his, and there was the
lady's hand, with the ring upon it,
to be seen by all.
Burn the wretches, a man cried,
and band of men, both black and
white, bore down upon the McKin
mansion. They entered the door
and marched up the stairs and into
madame's room, but there was no
one there. Nobody had seen the
two women depart. but they were
gone and were never seen again.
and since that time no fool has
entered the old mill and it has
slowly fallen into decay.
The lady's hand, however, is still
preserved in spirits in the town hall,
and the old negro who acts the part
of watchman declares that at mid
night it always changes to hideous
claw. However no one else ever
witnessed this transformation.

optic, with fecks of contrasting color
near the pupil, indicates a highly

tendencies. This eye IS always over,
shadowed by sadness when IN repose

UNCLE JACKS VIEW OF GE0GRA-
PLY.

When the war ended and the
negroes were free there was great
enthusiasm for educating them. One
of the first schools started was built on
the edge of his place by Colonel Trigg
who got little "schoolmarm" as they
were termed, to come down and teach
it. 1t was soon filled by the colored
population, the pupils ranging from
five to seventy-five years, all studying
"a b alb, e-b eb." Even Uncle Jack
Scott, the colonels head man, one of
the oldtimers, went in, and was trans
ferred from the Stable to the school
room, but soon dropped out.
1t was several years after this that
Uncle Jack was working one day at
water gate, when the children came
down the road from school. They
stopped and peeped stolidly through
the fence, Among them was Jawnie,
Mrs. Scott's hopeful, WHO had proved
an apter scholar than his statneT. His
bag was on his arm. He climbed over
the fence, and from the bank gazed
down alphabetically at his father in the
water below. Presently he said:
Oh, poppa, de teacher say you mus
git me a geography.

if he had not heard. Then he repeat
