The cross lacking down the Firth was
a fine exhibition OF sailing. Britannia

two yachts opened out of Wemyss Bay.

Recent Discoveries.

Although many new and important
discoveries have recently been made in
various sciences, there is probably
none of greater Importance to the peo-
pie than the one recently made by
DR. SHooP. which is attracting the at
tention of physicians and all classes of
people throughout the world.
We refer to the discovery as to the
cause of chronic diseases of the stomach
liver. kidneys and internal organs.
The doctor has traced the cause TO
certain nerves that have control of
these organs. and by prescribing DIR.
SHooP's RESTORATIVE, a preparation
be prepares to act upon these special
nerves, the cause is removed and with
it the disease.

with wire rods, d, forming grating,
which from the weight of the parts in
front of the pivots, C, falls, leaving the
entrance to the box open. The CRATE
rods enter holes in the strip, III. affixed
to the board B. When the hen gets
upon the nest in the nest box her
weight causes the long arms of the
levers to be raised (the parts being
proportioned with that object), which
brings the grate-rods up, thus closing
the entrance, /, and excluding the
other fowls and such animals as are
liable to give annoyance to the setting
fowl. When the fowl attempts TO leave
the nest she will instinctively proceed
toward the lighted entrance, and in so
doing her weight will be transferred
to the bottom-board, d. in part of the
pivot, a, which will cause the grating
to fall, and thus permit her egress.
The lid of the box is hinged for the
purpose of rendering the nest box con-
veniently accessible to any person
wishing to gather the eggs. This de-
vice is more curious than PRACTICAL

CornstaIks for Protection

A writer in the Country Gentleman
once said that after studying the win
ter problem for some time he concluded
that if the hive was surrounded with
cornstalks the bees would have suffi-
cient protection and get plenty of air
He placed cornstalks around the hive
tying them at the top so that when fin
ished it looked as if he had taken one
of the shocks of stalks from the field
and set it up in his yard. In the spring
of 1891 the bees were in splendid con-
dition, but that was mild winter and
he did not consider it fair test. In
the fall of 1891 he fixed them in the
same way; the following winter was
not so mild. When he took off the
stalks in the spring the bees seemed as
strong and vigorous as at any time dur
ing the summer.

fully of the sizes given and nail the
top, or cover, on the same as the bot
tom, then with rip saw cut all around
the sides of the box, two and one-half
inches down from the top, and in this
way the lid Jr cover can be cut loose
from the box.
This cover will have the upper end of
the sides and ends of the box, which
will form sort of edging all around
the lower part of the lid, as may be
seen in the illustration.
Next get two long strips of wood
two and one-half inches wide and one
half or fve-eighths of an inch thick. and
with one of them form a base all
around the bottom of the box, another
one at the top edge of the box proper,
and still another around the lid, and
with pair of hinges, with which to
fasten the lid to the box, and chain
to keep the cover from falling back too
far when opened, the chest will appear
like the illustration.
A pair of iron handles, that can be
purchased at any hardware store for a
few cents each, are to be fastened to
the ends of the chest above the middle,
also lock at the front will be con-
venience.
One or two sliding trays can be ar
ranged to fit the inside of the chest of
pine or white wood, not more than
three-eighths of an inch in thickness.
They should be trifie shorter than the
inside width of the chest, so they will
slide easily without wedging.
Divisions can be made in the trays,
dividing each in three or four COM
partments, in which different supplies
of nails, tacks and small tools may be
kept.
A track, or cleat, of thin wood
nailed to the inside of either end of the
chest will serve to hold the trays in POI
sition.
With the addition of several coats of
paint and your name, if you choose to
paint it on, you will have tool chest
that will be substantial and useful
one, as well as good piece of furniture
for your workroom.-N. Y. Recorder.

GRADING THE HONEY.
An Important Duty Frequently Neglected
by Beekeepers.

The honey produced from the vari-
Gus plants differs greatly, and should,
as far as possible, be kept separate.
This, however, need not generally be
carried beyond division into three
classes generally known as white
clover, Eastwood and buckwheat
Some would add apple-blossom, while
others would content themselves with
subdividing it into light and dark. To
separate these various grades, the
honey-boxes should be put on at the
beginning of the season for certain
grade, for instance just when the
white clover is coming into full bloom.
Many colonies will not be able to fill
an entire super during the clover
period of one season but some of the
sections will be entirely filed and
others well started. If some other
plant producing white honey is at
hand at the end of the clover season
perhaps the entire super will be filed
up with product that will be nearly
equal in taste and appearance to the
pure clover. When the super is full
always remember that the pure clover
sections will be found directly over
the entrance of the hive unless some
internal means of changing this ar
rangement exists. Bees first fill up
the nearest racks or sections, those in
the center over the entrance being
nearly finished before those towards
the ends are hardly begun on.
Buckwheat honey, unlike clover aud

sesses very strong flavor peculiar to
itself. It is certainly advisable to
avoid allowing this to mix with the
lighter sorts, both on account of the
difference in color, and because the
flavor is very distasteful to some, and
especially sought by others. As a
rule, carrying with it the usual num-
Der of exceptions, the earlier honey
plants produce light and the later ones
dark honey. Gardening.

JAckY.s LITTLE MISTAKE.
This Tails ais Friends Call the True
story OF the Flood.

story OF the Flood.
Jack Gray's father and mother lived
in New York eleven months in the
year, but the whole family almost in
variably spent August at the sea shore
or in the country.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gray had purchased a
lot on Fifth avenue long before so
much wealth and fashion congregated
in that particular section of the city,
and, although there were many more
pretentious homes than theirs on every
side, still their house was handsome
without, and the books, pictures,
furniture and carpets were what might
be expected in that locality, notwith-
standing the fact that they regarded
themselves as plain people, who had
not pursued, but been overtaken by,
fashion
sultry morning, the last day of
July, found the furniture covered up
and packed away for a months nap,
and carriage at the door ready to
take the Grays to the station.
AS Mrs. Gray passed through the hall
she noticed that one piece of baggage
was unmarked. "Jacky, dear" she
said, ''please run upstais and write
fathers name on a card for the leather
trunk; it has all our bathing suits in
it, and we must not risk losing it,
Jacky flew to the third story, his
especial property, and he wrote
Jonathan Gray" with such flourish
he splashed ink all over his fingers
He went to an upstairs bathroom to
wash his hands; but the water would
not come, so he rushed down to the
second story bathroom, made himself
presentable. and was in the carriage
by the driver before his mother thought
it possible.
Mr.. Gray locked the front door. and
sending the key to his brothers by a
servant, started on his summer holiday
with the comfortable feeling that he
was taking a needed rest and leaving
everything safe in his absence
About ten days later two policemen
were lounging by lamp post near the
house 1t had been raining for twenty
four hours preceding, and, although
the sun was now shining brilliantly,
the caves were still dripping, and from
the marble steps ran \ steady little
stream to the street.
Il say, Bill" remarked one of the
men to his eomrade, ''it's monstrous
quare thing, but b'lieve it rained
more on this one house yesterday than
any three in the city; every time I
passed there was regular pond on the
pavement, and it's still a-comin' down

CROW Catching ln india.

In order to catch crows after the
gypsy fashion in India, it is necessary
to have a captive crow always on hand.
This crow must be laid upon its back
and its wings pegged to the earth with
forked sticks. Immediately free crow
will attack it, and the captive crow,
Selling the free one with its claws,
will hold it tight. Crow No. must
then be taken and pegged down also
Other crows will come and two more
will soon be caught. They must also
be laid out with the pegs, and then the
four captives will take four other
crows. This plan is followed until the
hunter has taken all the crows he de-
