NO RED CLOVER HONEY.
Because tho Honeybee Doesn't Know How
to Get the Material For 1t.

Because tho Honeybee Doesn't Know How
to Get the Material For 1t.
tsWhy do we never have red clover honey
for saleY'' said the dealer. well, for the
simple reason that there is never any red
clover honey made by honeybees. There
is no blossom so rich in stores of sweet
ness as the red clover blossom, as every
schoolboy whose privilege it is to pluck
and suck its nectar well knows. But.
the honeybee never collects those sweets
for its use, because it cannot. The corolla
tube of the red clover is SO deep and small
that the bee cannot reach the honey stored
at the base of the tube. The bee knows
this, and if yon will think moment you
will remember that you never saw a honey
bee, either wild or a hive dweller, on q red
clover blossom.
"These wise and busy insects do not
waste their time in efforts to obtain sweets
that are beyond their reach. But the lln-
bering bu1nblebee levies tribute on every
red clover patch in his bailiwick. AS smart
as the honcybee is, it has yet to learn
trick that is as old as the hills to it's big
and more stupid seeming cousin. When
the bulnblebee lights on d head of red
clover, he punctures a hole in the base of
the corolla, and thrusting in his proboscis
sucks out tho nectar. 1t used to be a ia
vorite but cruel pasbime among the boys
of the rural districts to capture the bum
blebee, pull it apart and take out it's honey
bag-a transparent sack as big as small
pea, filled with the most delicate of honey,
the honey Of the red clover-and eat the
sweet morsel, or, rather, let it burst in the
mouth and spill its drop of incompatible
nectar. Any one who has thus robbed the
bumblebee of its life and it's hoard of
sweets will never forget the delicious quail,
ity of the honey thus obtained. Unfortu,
nately this big, clumsy bee is not much
of honey maker. You might rob score
of bumblebee nests and not get quarter
of pound of honey, and besides these
nests are few and far between. Conse-
quently we will have to wait until the
hive bee learns to drill into the blossom to
get the nectar before we can have red
clover honey for our buckwheat cakes and
uaff1es ,,--NeW York SIln

A year ago we sat on the stair,
A dance or two at the Milfords' ball.
So charmed was 1 with your beauty rare

Your hand, petite in its primrose glove.
Remained at rest in my trembling grasp,
And when-ah, mel whispered of love
You blushed rose pink, with an answering
clasp.
But you have gone on your wedding trip.

find that the two results are alike in their

not proficient in the art of foot writing,
can see that the style and shape of the let
tiers made by my toes resemble the charac-
tiers formed by my hand.

if it was possible for the mayor, COM

perature for the cooler it would be done.
Had the visit been put OFF till say Dec

all glad to see them, and unanimous in
the hope that they will have better
weather for their work and carry
away with them as favorable an
impression of The Dalles, as they have
already created init. There is no one to
blame but Weather Observer Blanford,
but unfortunately we can't discharge
him.

An old way Bill.

Yesterday Col. Sinnott unearthed an
old freight bill of the o. R. & N. dated
Feb. II, 1864. In those days freight was
charged Tor by measurement instead of
weight. The articles are suggestive of
the trade in thosel days, consisting of
four kegs of brandy, four boxes of eggs,
two gunny bags of bacon, six barrels of
whiskey, and a pipe of liquors. The
whole lot measured 119 feet, and cost
from San Francisco $64.5O, the charge
from Portland being $36, or about $ls
per ton, as against So at the present
date. The bill is in remarkably good
state of preservation, in spite of the
thirty years that have passed since the
colonel paid it. The ink was good, for
it is as fresh looking as if made yester-
day. The freight came up on the
steamer Wilson G. Hunt.
