There is a difference between blow
ing and breathing on the bees. To
breathe on them in the way you would
on light of glass you were polishing
would instantly result in your getting
one of the most sudden and smarting
lessons you could think of, but If you
form your lips as though you wanted TO
concentrate your breath on the smallest
possible point, and blow with vigor as
though you were trying 10 cool cup of
tea or coffee, you will find it to have
quite different effect, and to exert n
subduing influence over the few bees
you direct the stream of air against.
A writer in Gleanings in Bookkeeping
says: In examining comps of brood
with my two hands occupied this is
often very useful TO me in getting the
bees TO move off particular cells that
may want to have a look at. The air
directed upon them causes them TO
vince and withdraw to one side.

Aerial Trolley Railroad scheme

An electro aerial railroad, TO carry
mail and perishsble freight at the rate
of over $50 miles an hour, is projected
to be constructed between Detroit and
Cleveland, distance of l70 miles. Al
bert l.. Wddis is the inventor of the
scheme for the road, and he believes he
has amply demonstrated its practical
bility. An experimental line was in
operation at the Chicago fair and made
surprising speed. A car fifteen feet
long and four feet square is suspended
by four wheels on an elevated rail, and
operated by motors deriving power from
a trolley wire. The ends of the car are
cone-shaped TO reduce the atmospheric
resistance. Mr. Widdis does not pro-
pose to carry passenger on his railroad,
but says that with it perishable freight,
mails and such matter could be carried
across the continent in a day. The plan
seems feasible when the prodigious
speed attained by dynamos is consid-
cred

The worst weed ever introduced into
the wheatfelds of America is reported
from the northwest. The thistle re-
sembles the tumbleweed in appearance,
but may be readily distinguished from
it by the sharp spines in clusters of
three each, the absence of fat leaves,
denser growth, dark color. and by the
red color in the fall The plant must
be cut out by the roots before its seeds
ripen. and if permitted to spread far
ther will, it is believed, cause the soil
to become barren and fruitless Sena-
tor Hansbrough proposes TO ask the
general government for an appropria-
ton of 81 900, 600 to destroy this weed.
Compared to it, he says. the rayages of
pleuro-pneumonia become insignificant
The pest was brought here fifteen years
ago in some fiaxseed and has spread
until it now infests an area of 25, 600
square miles This district is in the
most fertile sections of North and South
Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin and Wyoming.

Tooll Her Nap standLnc up.

Janitor Eastman of the new school
house in Perryville, Maine, says that
while the pupils were at play in the
yard the other day he looked out of the
window and saw a number of them
gathered around little girl. Their
actions indicated alarm, and he went
out TO see what the trouble was. He
found the child TO be sound asleep,
while outstanding upon her feet Jam
itor Eastman took the girl in his arms
and carried her into one of the teach
ers' private rooms and fixed up bed
and pillow for her out of shawls and
various other kind of wraps. Here
she remained for over an honr, sleeping
as soundly and as peacefully as though
in her more comfortable bed at home.
After her nap she appeared refreshed
and was eager to play again.

question is now being discussed as to

A mexican Klteh.n.

A Mexican kitchen contains no cook
ing stove nor even fireplace. Instead,
on one side Of the room shelf is built
into the wall about breast high, on the
center of which small fire burns built
OF gnarled and knotty sticks, which
thrifty American housewives would
consider unfit for use. Occasionally
this method is varied by making a char
coal fire in a large earthern pot and set
ting smaller cooking utensils upon the
Goals. So little baking is done that
many households dispense with an oven
entirely, but when one is used it is
built of mud, either out of doors or at
one end of the fireshelf
Tortillas are the staff of life in Mex
leo, and consist simply of crushed corn
which has been previously boiled in a
weak I've, rolled into balls Dishwash-
ing in a Mexican kitchen is conducted
on novel plan. There is no soap, no
disheloth and no wiping towel, much
less table provided with dishpan
and draining rack The dishwasher
seats herself comfortably on the floor
with pail of water beside her and
| some sliced amole root, which makes
excellent suds, and in place of dish
cloth she usesa tiny, stiff whislk broom.
Dishwiping is unknown. The dishes
are simply turned up against the wall
to dry, and somehow or other they
| always come TO the table clean and
shining. The spoons and knives of
brass and steel are as bright as the
traditional dollar, though no brickdust
or patent silver polish is applied to
them, nothing but common Mexican
dirt, dug up in the dooryard. New
York Commercial Advertiser.

The Locomo tlye Nyhlstle.

railways of England the country roads
We're for the most part crossed at grade,
and the engine driver had no way of
giving warning of his approach except
by blowing tin horn. This horn, as
may be imagined, says writer in the
Cardiff Mail, was far from being a suf-
fieient warning. One day in the year
1888 farmer of Thornton was crossing
the railway track on one of the country
roads with great load of eggs and but
ter just as he came out upon the track
a train approached. The engine man
blew his tin horn Justly, but the farmer
did not hear it. Eighty dozen of eggs
aud fifty pounds OF butter were smashed
into an indistinguishable. unpleasant
mass, and mingled with the kindling
wood TO which the wagon was reduced.
The railway company had to pay the
farmer the value of his fifty pounds of
butter, his 900 eggs, his horse and wa
gon. IL was regarded as very serious
matter and straightway director of
the company, Ashlen Bagster by name.
