DO Bees Ent Frnit2

Are not bees injurious to sound,
ripe fruit? Do they not damage
sound fruit in years Of honey search
ty? During the fall OF 1879 there
was a great complaint made of the
bees on that score, in this vicinity,
especially In the matter of grapes.
These complaints induced us to make
careful experiments on the matter,
and | ascertained and will say now,
not that | believe that bees cannot
injure sound fruit, but that | know
that they may be starved to death
upon 1t.
Some four or five years ago, doubt
of this assertion having been ex-
pressed in our public high school on
this question, by the lady principal
of the school, / offered to make
public test Of this matter before the
pupils, and this offer was accepted.
The bees were attracted from neigh
boring hives to table in the school
yard, and damaged fruit offered them.
After they got fairly to work upon 1t,
the damaged fruit was removed and
sound fruit put in its place, and in
the course Of fifteen minutes the
bees had all abandoned the spot I
earnestly request those who douby
my assertion on this question to
make such a test for themselves. 1t
is not difficult and is conclusive.
Most Of the damage charged to
bees is done by birds ants, wasps,
and hornets do their share, but as
the little honey-bee sometimes gath
ers the remnants so nothing may be
lost, she is often accused as the lead
ing perpetratOr of the offense. Bee

the Coreans are a proud people, and as

the Coreans are proud people, and as
they are politically subject to China,
they take great pride In doing what
they can to prove that the inferiority
is only political, So in every place OF
consequence there is temple or JOSS
house, where incense is daily burned
before the holy images and where the
names of deceased ancestors are salts
fed with rice and such dainties as they
are supposed to enjoy, But the Corean
does not allow what little religion he
has to interfere with business. With
him religion is one thing and
business Is quite another, and
his religion does not either forbid
or prevent his stealing anything he
can lay his hands on. At the times Of
the great annual festivals his picty
takes the form of prayers, offerings Of
food to the dead, eating, drinking, and
listening to music and dramatic enter
tertainments. Like his religion and
his art, both music and drama are bor-
rowed from China; the former is as
ear-splitting and the latter is as
lengthy and non-intelligible as any
thing in the same line the Flowery
Kingdom is able to offer
But for his geographical position
and the fact that he has several good
harbor5 that are coveted by Russia,
