ABOUT BEES AND BEEHIvEs.
OId-Fashioned Twisted Straw Hive
Has Almost Ceased to Exist.

Olu-T > ShA"N
Has Almost Ceased to Exist.
The beehive everywhere represented
as the emblem of industry, as for in
stance in pictures on the overs of
savings bank books, is the old-fash'
toned, round sugar-loat structure made
of twisted straw; but as a matter of
fact there are very few such hives
now in use except in Germany and
Austria. and even there, says the New
York Sun, the modern beehive is TAX
ing their places. The modern beehive
is made of boards, and is square with
some notifications in shape and style;
it is not nearly so picturesque as the
old-fashiOned hive.
A gentleman farmer in New Jersey,
desiring to get two of the old-fash-
Toned hives to set up in his place, COM
missioned a New York dealer in bee
keepers supplies to buy them. The
dealer communicated with many bee
farmers in his search, and finally
found one on Long Island. The gen.
tleman had meanwhile found one him
self, so that he had his desire.
Dealers in beekeepers' supplies sell
everything required, including bees in
the season. One can buy a colony of
bees or any number of bees, just as he
can dry goods or shoes. Queen bees
are sent from here all owe the coun-
try. They are shipped by mail in lit
tie boxes called queen cages. There
is in each cage space for the queen
bee and for a number of worker bees.
In one end of the cage is placed suffi-
Gent store of candy for food to last
the bees on their journey. Queen bees
are frequently sem from here to Aus.
tralia in this manner, and so per CEN
of them reach their destination alive
after a journey of forty-five days.

A Nev.rorm Of ! IN old Csse.

The application of heat is II of the
universal remedies for the various
forms of rheumatism- Almost every
modern city has it's Turkish or Rus
sian bath, and innumerable uncivilized
tribes enjoy thesame luxury in cruder
shape. Travellers in the Navajo coun-
try will often find close to the trail
which leads to the neighborhood OF
water miniature huts, such as children
might build in imitation of Indian
tepees. These are the sweat huts" of
the Navajos. When one of that intel
ligent and thrifty tribe finds himself
beset by Il severe cold or rheumatic
pains, he goes to 4 secluded spot,
close to water, and builds Il little IN
zeal hut Of sticks, The bottom ends OF
the sticks may be possibly two feet
apart, and the upper ends are dashed
together in a point. The interstices OF
this rough edifice are carefully linked
up, and the inside il covered with a
layer of mud, which makes it abso-
lutely alright. Then, building Il fire,
the Indian places stones on the EN-
hers. When the stones begin to crack
with the heat, they are cast inside he
hut and water is thrown upon them.
The Indian creeps in, closes the ar
row entrance aperture, and remains IN
the steaming atmosphere until he Is
nearly suifocateed. The latest FORM
OF this crude therapy is used in Il Lon
don hospital. 1t consists of a copper
cylinder about three feet long ana
eighteen inches in diameter, winch
holds an arm up to the shoulder or a
leg up to the middle of the thigh. Inc
| patient who is suffering from sprainS,

A Lucky Accident.

AS an example of how remunera-
tive specially in hardware forced it..
self on a receptive and appreciatlve
Yankee, the following incident will be
of interest:
Among manufacturers small cast.
ings are often put in revolving
cylinders with pickers or stars made
of cast iron, having usually six points,
the extremes of which are about an
inch apart.
They are also familiar to toy deal
ers, who sell them to children rs
'jackstones. The pickers, together
with small castings, are put into the
tumbling barrels, so that any PARTICLES
of sand adhering may be removed and
a better finish given the castings.
A large and well-known New Eng
land concern, which, in addition to
the other lines, manufacturers screw
wrenche3 largely, formerly used Il
peculiarly shaped malleabe iron fer
rule, with irregular openings at the
four sides and circular openings at the
two ends, weighing about an ounce.
Some of these ferrules Glanced to DO
part of the contents in one of the
tumbling barrels. When the barrel
was opened the attendant noticed,
what TO him seemed almost incredible,
that the picker with ali ITS prongs was
inside the ferrule, the openings of
which were comparatively small. The
observant mechanic logically con
cluded that as it had got in it could
be got out again.
The phenomenon was brought to the
attention of parties who decided TO
apply the idea in a puzzle, and the re-
suit has been that the original manu-
facturers are now making the two
parts under contract, in ton lots,
while the first order is said to have
netted a profit to the promoters Of

with request that he would oniciate
at the burial of one cf her children.
The pastor merely said that he would
see about it, and failed to appear at
.he grave at the appointed hour. In
default OF other religious services the
mourning mother recited over the
grave a single verse OF hymn ex-
pressing her faith in the child's welfare
in the other world. For doing this
she was reported by Jealous police
man as having violated an ordinance

Justice found her guilty and she was
fined the sum of little less than 81,
