Bees ON Summer Stands.

Numbered with other practical infor-
nation furnished at the late North
American Beekeepers' convention was
that contained in an essay by Mr.. Charles
Dadant of Hamilton, Ills, on the subject
of 'sWintering Bees on Summer Stands. !"
He said:
The conditions that we think indis-
pensable to succeed in our locality in
wintering bees on summer stands are:
1. A sufficient number of bees, especially
young workers. 2. Asufficient provision
of proper food. 8. A hive well closed,
with absorbents above the combs to re-
move the dampness produced by the
breathing of the bees. 4. A protection
around the hive, on the northern side
especially, leaving the entrance side free.
Concerning the third condition Mr..
Dadant said: ''When we find hive
which has wintered with a current of air
inside, we notice that it's bees have
soiled the entrance of their hive. From
such fact we have drawn the conclusion
that a current of air is injurious to bees.
We have noticed, also, that absorbing
matters above the frames take out most
of the dampness produced by the breath
ing Of the bees and the evaporation Of
their food. AS regards the fourth con-
dition, our northern winds being very
cold we surround every one of our hives
with thickness of dry leaves or straw,
kept in place by small string ladders,
leaving the front part free. Such pro-
lection helps the bees to keep warmer,
without interfering with their going out
as soon as the suns rays are sufficiently
warm. By such means our losses in
winter are very small"

The seventv-two Races of Mankind.

M. de Quatrefagea, the noted French
ethnologist, read paper before the Paris
Academy of Sciences on his favorite study.
In it he gives an interesting summary of
his general conclusions with regard to the
origin and distribution of the human spe-
cies. Omitting minor differences he es-
Inmates that there are no fewer than 72
distinct races of men now inhabiting the
earth. All of these, he says, descend or
branch off from three fundamental types
the white, the yellow and the black
which had their origin in north central
Asia, which is without doubt the primi-
tive Eden, or cradle of the human race. ~
M. de Quaterfages further states-in learn
ed terms that would be meaningless to any
one except an ethnologist-t represent
atives of these three primitive types may
yet be found scattered over his Asian Eden
the whites to the west of the central
point of origination, the yellow to the east
and the black to the south The yellow
race spread to the northeast and crossed
to America, where they mixed with To-
cal quaterDary race" producing what we
know as the American Indian.-St. Louis

WAsHlNGToN's coLoREp 400,
They Have Wealth and Are Aristocratio
and Ultra Fashionable

A negro aristocracy! Sounds odd. doesn' It
, it? Yet such an aristocracy exists in Wash
lngton, and it is, relatively at least. the
equal in wealth, culture and refinement nf
that OF our best circles of white society
Washington is a colored man s. paradise
The term 'colored man" is the one thew
invariably employ in speaking of them
selves. They tell you they are not negroes
that negroes are the low blacks: that
they are colored people, and that white
ladies and gentlemen appreciate that fact
and address them accordingly. The stand
ard Of gentility among the whites is fixed
by their use of these terms. But. call
them what you please, Washington is their
paradise-the one spot on earth where a
part of their number have social stand
ing, and where they are something more
than mere hewers of wood and drawers of
water.
The colored aristocracy of Washington
really numbers about 400 all told, and in
that respect they stand on an equal foot
ing with Ward McAlister's Four Hundred
in the New York metropolis. These Wash
ington colored swells live in fine houses
They are possessed in many cases of large
wealth. They keep their own carriages,
and they have servants in abundance who
minister to their wants. They have every
thing, in short. that money and good taste
can suggest.
In their church worship the colored
Four Hundred are quite as exclusive as
their white neighbors, and colored day
laborer would hesitate as much to enter
one OF these sanctuaries as white man
of the same degree would in presenting
himself at the portals of Grace church in
New York. There are other colored
churches there where the poor and the
fairly well to do meet on equal terms, but
they are not the churches of the -Four Hun
dred."
The SWEETEST colored church in Washing
ton is the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian
On Sunday mornings Fifteenth street in
the vicinity of the church is filled with
carriages. The church is small and ultra
fashionable. The most of the mem beers
keep carriages, and they use them on these
occasions. In this respect they are apine
the worst form of white snobbery. In Eng
land every gentleman walks to church.
He may own hundred carriages, but he
doesn't use them to take him to and from
the church. Some of these days Ameri
cans will copy this custom from their Eng
lish cousins, land when the American whites
abolish the present fashion of riding to
church the Washington colored swells will
profit by the object lesson.-Buffalo Com

HOLLOW Soars.

The use of hollow spars for boats de-
signed to attain great speed has intro
duced a new and novel industry requir-
ing workmanship of the finest charac-
ter. The stick for this purpose Is re-
quired to be Of exceptionally fine and
straight grain, and after being roughly
shaped is split longitudinally from end
to end; the center of each Of the halves
is then followed out, and greater or
less amount is removed, according to
the intended location Of the spar, the
upper spars being much the lighter.
These hollows run nearly the length of
the spar, great care being essential to
have them follow the taper of the out
side Of the spar exactly, to insure uni
form thickness at every point-of course
when this has been done and the two
halves of the spar replaced in their
original position, a circular hole is left
in the center of the spar, running near,
ly the whole length, and following it's
taper from end to end. After this the
two halves are fastened in place again
by means OF wooden bowels. which fas-
ten the split together, being placed al
ternately on either side of the central
hollow, and both bowels and splis are
carefully glued. These bowels vary in
size with the size of the SPAR but are
usually as long as they can be made
without piercing its outside surface.
They are placed slightly nearer the CEN
ter hollow than the outside, in order to
give them all the length possible. In
small spars the glue and the bowels
suffice, but in large ones metal bands on
the outside are added. New York Sun.

Worth Knowing About.

Cottonseed meal with black specks
in it is largely composed of the hull,
which is nearly indigestible and of lit
tie value except to go into the manure
pile.
The pure cottonseed meal without
hull is too concentrated for feeding,
except as it is diluted with something
giving greater bulk in proportion to
its nutrition. Wheat bran is one of the
best feeds for this purpose.
One of the lessons in fruit manage
ment taught by the World s fair was
the entire success of keeping fruit by
the cold storage method. 1t was in this
way that apples and pears of the 1892
crop grown in New York state were
brought to the exhibit in perfect condi-
ton in June last.
a poor tool is an aggravation, and
money paid for it is wasted. A chest
OF good tools is fortune.

Tho Puzzle Solved.

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled and
baffled the medical profession more than nasal
catarrh. While not Immediately fatal it is
among the most nauseous aud disgusting Ills
that flesh is heir to. and the records show very
few or no cases OF radical cure of chronic
catarrh by any of the many modes OF treat
ment until the Introduction of ElyS Cream
Balm few years ago. The success OF this
preparation has been most gratifying and sur
pr1sing. No druggist is without it.

December Is, 1892.
GENTLEMEN:
Our daughter, twelve years old,
hns always been sick from weakness
of the stomach and limbs; pain
across her back, and general de-
bility have kept her from school.
We could not get help for her from
the several doctors whom we tried.
The countless medicines we bought
gave her no benefit. Her appetite
never was good; all she ate was a
few mouthfnls of graham bread at
q meal. Inst summer we lost all
hope, for we were afraid of her
dying of consumption. Six weeks
ago she could not walk two hun
dred yards without getting very
tired. Now she can walk to the
city, two miles, and back, without
the least wearlness; her appetite is
such, she relishes anything hearty
man would wish to eat. For the
first time in her life she knows
what health is.
The mother says, For twenty-five
Yeas 1 have had severe sick head
aches. Nothing ever eased them
until sed
GgodeF'S Syrup,
which has wrought q permanent
cure. No less than six physicians,
and medicines without number, have
failed to, help me.

dyspepsia almost ever since | can

always suffered with vomiting, dis
tress in the stomach and bowels,
dizziness, and habitual constipation
