bee Culture.

Bee Culture.
We see a good deal said about keep
ing hogs sheep, poultry, and other
farm stock to consume what would
otherwise be waste products, and so
add to the profit of the farm. Why
are not bees named in this list more
frequently? Surely there is no
product which would be more wholly
wasted. were it not for them. than
that viii h they gather from the
flowers and the fruit. The farmer
need not be bee keeper on a large
scale any more than he need keep
large flock of poultry, but he should
have some of each. Fifty colonies
are perhaps enough for any one who
does not wish to make speciality
OF the business. Begin small and
work up IL you find that 1t suits you.
A farmer Of our acquaintance began
with two colonies ten years ago to
test the matter. He says that they
never failed to pay expenses, includ-
ing the value of his own time and
labor, any single year. He sells both
bees and honey, and so his colonies
vary from twenty-five to fifty. He
says that with himself there is less
expense and worry In producing 500
worth of honey than In getting the
same amount from either hogs or
poultry and that he finds the chances
OF an Improbable year much fewer,
Honey is in steady demand in all
markets, and a really flne article does
not have to go begging for a pur.
chaser. There Is a great difference
In the quality, and this does not de-
pend wholly on the food, as some peo-
ple imagine. The strain OF bees has
som ething to do with 1t, and the
man who handles the bees and the
product has much more. Honey
must be In attractive shape when
out on the market II it is to sell

When You Are Stron gest.

Vaughan Harley agrees with DR.,
Lombard in considering that the
amount of work done by the same
set of muscles at different times Of
the day undc, goes periodical varia-
onS; so we may accept as fact,
says the journal of Physiology, that
there is diurnal rise and fall in the
power of doing voluntary muscular
work, in the same way as there is a
diurnal Iise and tall in boliIy TEN.
perature and pulse. 1t is remark
able, however. that instead of the
greatest amount Of work being done,
as might have been expected, on ris-
ing III the morning, after good
nights rest it is found that at .
a. m. the smallest amount of work is
accomplished, the powers of doing
muscular work in Dr. liaricy'S case
increasing each hour up to j a. m.
Immediately after lunch there is q
marked rise, followed an hour later
by a fall, while again an hour later,
or about 3 p. m, the amount of work
accomplished reaches its maximum.
Then, from some unexplained cause,
there is noticeable fall at p. M,
which is succeeded bya rise at D.
m, after which a progressive fall
takes place during each successive
hour until dinner. Even during a
prolonged fast more work was capa-
bic or being executed from 1880 u.

A lady never extends her hand to
a man whose acquaintance she Is
making. She may or may not shake
hands with lady who is introduced,
but she must not give her hand to a
strange man. A cultivated woman
will not shake hands with any man,
no matter how long acquainted with
him, unless she respects and admires
him. A gentleman never extends
his hand to a lady first To do so
would be presumptuous, and subject
him to snubbing. A man shows
his breeding the way he eats his din
ner; a woman shows her breeding
the way she receives people.

Time to StoD,

Under the machinery of the law as
at present administered a lawyer has
great advantages over a witness.
Recognition of this fact is probably
the reason why people always enjoy
seeing witness get the better of his
examiner.
An exchange reports a case in
which the plaintiff had testified that
his financial position had always
been good. The opposing counsel
took him in hand for cross-examina-
tion, and undertook TO break down
his testimony upon this point.
"Haye you ever been bankrupt"
asked the lawyer.
Il have not" was the answer.
"Now be careful; did you ever stop
payment?"
"Yes"

finally. When did that happen?"

The Basliful Boy.

What pangs the bashful boy suf-
fers. How he tlushes when he is
obliged to address a stranger, and
how his limbs tremble under him
when he is introduced to some one,
But the climax of his trials is reached
VIXEN he is called upon to do the in
PRODUCING himself.
Shrinking from such tests may
perhaps be natural ftom one who is
constitutionally shy, but there are
phases of bashfulness that seem not
only inexplcable but closely allied
to pride rather than modesty. Tim
idity of this sort is that displayed by
a youth in his teens who breads to en-
ter a dry goods store much frequented
by ladies. He knows no one there, no
one knows him, and yet forsooth he
imagines that he is going to be
singled out from the crowd of pur-
chasers as though he were an
Adonis.
After all, when one comes to an
alyze the trait there is not as much
vanity as self-depreciation in the
boy or man who is always wondering
what people are thinking Of him.
