In a recent article In the Southern

Nj. ID. Andes, a wellknown heekt c per
OF Bristol, Tennessee. says:
"Thc impre. sion is prevalent among
fruit growers that | ees injure fruit,
when a careful study of the subject
will convince any one, not only to the
contrary. but confirm them in the
fact that bees are helpful.
"Bt es never 10 u:e sound fruit. Al
though this charge has been laid at
Their door, all credible expert tes-
timony ex0nerates them. In the FIRST
place, they cannot IL they would bite
through tho skin of sound fruit.
Their mandibles are not made for
cutting, like tho OF the wasp and
h lrnet. Where they are thought to
l e guilty, it is generally found, on
investigation, that some other insect
or bird is the depreddtor, or that the
tult is decaying from other causes.
an the second place, the stuff that
bees get from fruit is not only worth
less as food for them, but is positively
injurious, showing that nature never
intended the juice of fruitas food for
bees. They never use It or gather

supplies are exhausted

the hori-ulturist and bee keeper
shou'd not ne friends There should

70 MAKE COOP COFFEE.

Remember in making coffee;
That the same flavor will not suit
every taste.
That every one can be suited to a
nicely by properly blending two or
more kinds.
That equal parts of Mocha, Java
and Rio will be relished by good
many people.
That mild coffee can be made dan
gerously strong and still retain the
mildness of flavor.
That the flavor is improved if the
liquid is turned from the dregs as soon
as the proper strength has been OBJ
tanned.
That where the percolaton metlSd
is used the coffee should be ground
very fine or the strength will not be
extracted.
That if the ground coffee is put into
the water and boiled it should be
rather course, otherwise it will invari-
ably be muddy.
That good coffee will always COM
mand fair price, but that all high
priced coffees are not necessarily OF
high quality
That in serving the cups and cream
ehould be warm the cream should be
put in the cup before the coffee is
poured in, but it is immaterial when
the sugar is added.
That level teaspoonful of the ground
coffee to each cup is the standing al
lowance, from which deviation can be
made in either direction, according to
the strength desired. New York Adt

GIRLS RAISING MUsrAcHEs.

A London Society journal SAYS
'The recent visit of the Infanta
Eulalia of Spain to the United States
has supplied the fashionable damsels
OF that country with a new and dis
tinctly startling craze, nothing less.
In fact, than an attempt to cultivate
mustache. Like most Spanish
women the Infanta possesses just the
slightest shadow of down upon her up
per lip, which in persons of rich
Southern blood often constitutes a
charm.
1.-The American girl, however, with
her fair, clear complexion, would
neverlook anything but ridiculous in
a mustache, and her attempts, there
fore, to cultivate it are rare, not only
particularly foolish, but afford a
striking instance of the snobbish wor-
ship of blue blood which characterizes
this great Republic.
