MUSIC IN HIS HEELS.

"Home, Sweet home" on ths Organ.
This is Colonel Julian X. Larke, a
journalist and veteran OF the Crimean
war. Col. Larke is a gray-haired
man, full OF "reminiscences and very
fond Of music. He often plays the
organ for secret societies. Recently
big society gave a swell reception,
and the Colonel furnished the organ
music. After the wine had been
flowing steadily for an hour, and the
banquet had disappeared, veteran
amused them all by walking on his
hands. The Colonel was seated ut

to all others. OF course, If the Turk
could transact business lying down,
he would like that even better than
sitting, but the impracticability OF
such thing is recognized even by
the Turk himself, so, perforce, he
sits, and adapts his shop to himself
IN such way that when Allah sends

obliged to get up to wait on him.

Some OF the discussions called forth
by the exhibition in store W lndows Of

very interesting, and the arguments

There Is a most amusing story told
Of leading st. Louis merchant who
from time to time draws few thou
sand dollars from the bank in cur
rency and spreads the bills around in
his window. A Southern man, who
had received green goods circulars
from time to time, supposed he had
accidentally stumbled upon the head
quarter, OF one OF the operators, and
accordingly wrote a confidential let
ter to the merchant asking for his
terms for a supply. The letter has
been shown around a good deal and
Is evidently genuine. st Louis

then shortstop. He was captain Of

Bees and Honey.

In putting away empty combs for
future use, sprinkle little dry salt
over and into them, and put them In
dry place, says the American Guilt
vator. This will help to keep out
the moth, and as it will shake out
when they are taken down for use IL
will do no harm, and. in fact, the
bees will like a little salt Although
it has often been asserted that the
honey bee gets no honey or nectar to
convert into honey from the blossoms
Of the red clover, we do not consider
this proved. 1t may be that some OF
the stems Of the bloom are not as
long as others, or that in some the
nectar rises higher, and certainly
this is apt to be the case with the
second crop clover but it is very GER
tain that honey bees may always be
found in red clover field when in
bloom, while If they could obtain
nothing there, their instinct would
teach them to avoid it.
Some practical bee-keepers, who
measured the depth OF the Corolla OF
the clover blossom, or the length of
the bees proboscis, Though they may
know from experience the length Of
his sting, arc very sure that they do
make honey from the red clover.
There are a great many patent bee
hives upon the market, and some
highly recommended that have not
been patented, but the hive that
suits the greatest number of expert
enced bee-keepers is the safest one
for the beginner to use until he has
had experience enough to suggest his
own improvements. Whatever the
form adopted use none but the best
stock. and have them well mace by a

The Turk Is not in the least, excita-

of other countries to grow wild with
