Island, which goes to show what scct
of summer resort New York is when
the mercury gets up among the nine
ties.
There are five or six different routes
by which Coney Island can be reached
from New York. The most pleasant
way to get there is to go by steamboat.
If you don't miss the boat it will take
an hour. One advantage of going by
boat is that you can truthfully say to
your friend, whom you have not seen
in some time, that you have been across
the water, which will leave the i'm
preston on his mind that you have just
returned from Europe. The only OBJ
lection to the water route is that you
are liable TO be disturbed every once in
awhile by beetle-browed bandit of

bic. When it is hot it is very hot.
Some time, between March and Octo-
Der. there is a continuous spell of hot
weather that causes an increase in
profanity. Then it is hot, hotter, hot

est. hot as one oven, hot as two ovens,
hot as - biazes. In the dog days the
New York weather is beastly.
We have to contend with three dis
tinct brands of heat, and, consequently,
the mean temperature is very mean in
deed. First of all there is the direct
heat that comes straight from the
bright orb that hangs Respondent in
the blue vault above. This is rein
forced by the reflected heat from the
paved streets and the rock and brick
houses. But the most insidious and
diabolical heat of all crawls up from
the kitchens under the sidewalks. 1t
is aromatic with the flavor of fried on
ions and other tempting viands. When
all these different heats are saturated
with eighty.five per cent. of humidity,
you feel as if breaths of fresh air were
being sold at auction, and everybody
was outbidding you.
The next thing to be done is to get
out of town as suddenly as possible.
Those who do not keep their elbows
perfectly straight are apt to get sun
struck, hence there is an old-fashioned
exodus whenever it is sultry.
There is any number of inland re-
sorts in the vicinity of New York, but
the fact is that while they are destitute

large city, the temperature is not much

EnrIchInE Forest Lands

Shading the soil is OF great advan-
tage In converting ammonia into nj
trates, process which has served to
enrich forest lands while they are COW
cred with dense growth. The mulch
Of leaves added annually is a carpet
which prevents influence by the direct

Is demonstrated by the larger crops

On the same principle the mulcning
OF the soil with dense crop or with

MYTHS ABOUT BEES.
\ Minnesota Farmer DIspeis a Number o
Popular Illusions.

/ a Minnesota Farmer DIspeis a Number Oi
Popular Illusions.
Bees, said Farmer William Russell 20
a reporter for the Minneapolis Trib-
une, are just like human beings When
they are busy they are virtuous and
peaceeb bic; but when in idleness they
become vicious, given to foolish actions
that dissipate the strength of the colo
MES and make the work of the bee
keeper twice as arduous- Last year
the season ran so that the bees were
busy all the time. The blossoms cana
in rotation and the bees always had
something TO do. They made honey
very fast and the business was prus-
porous
This season there has been less honey
to gather and the bees, with nothing 70
busy themselves upon, have devoted
their time to frolic and idleness- The
old rhyme,
How doth the busy bee
Improve each shining hour
is all nonsense The bees are marveIs
of thrift and industry when they haze
work to do, but they can be quite a.
foolish as men
The talk of the idle drone" is an
other foOlishness that has crept inta
the language through ignorance. The
drone is the male bee. He has no bust
ness to gather honey; his function Is
altogether different and quite as i'm
portant as that of the worker. He is
the father of the hive, and when his
work has been performed he is killed
off as useless

History OF the Grain Moth and How -

This pest was originally imported
from Europe by the early settlers Of
Virginia in their supplies of wheat
brought from the old country. Once
established on American soil. it has
spread far and wide throughout the
United States and is the most serious
enemy to stored corn south of the
wheat belt; Texas, perhaps, suffering
more than any other state from its
ravages. 1t attacks all stored cereal
products, but corn and wheat are the
principal grains affected. 1t is 4

Why Farmer. should Keep Books.

Farmers do not have that knowledge
of their affairs that they should. as
many of them keep no books. When
the census is being taken they can give
but very little information in regard
to the number of bushels of grain
grown each year. or the value OF their
live stock; hence much must be derived
from estimates rather than from facts
presented Every farmer should keep
books and set down all the items OF
receipts and expenses

Pleasant Social Event Closing Exercises
of the Schooi--Other Items.
Last Friday evening week was the oc-
Sasion of an enjoyable time to some of
| the young ladies aud gentlemen of Par
rott. Mrs. Marshall gave an entertain
mentl cOmplime ntary to her sister, Miss
Mamie Bats, who has asst returned from
LAGRANGE college. During the evening
several interesting features, such as pro-
gresslve conversation, etc., were intro
duced for the edification and pleasure of
the attendants. Miss Bats recited in a
most inimItable style, "The Sale of the
Old Bachelor" and "Death of Adam"
which showed high order of elocutiOn-
airy talent and reflected considerable
credit on her teachers of elOcuuOn. Mrs.
Marshall is an adept in making young
people enjoy themselves on such occa-
sions, and omitted nothing that would
cause the time to pass off pleasantly.
The school in Parrott closed Friday,
with an examination of the pupils in
their various studies. The whole of the
day was consumed in the examination,
with occasional recitatian interspersed
without being able to carry out more
than half the programme. The children
acquitted themselves with credit, and the
exercises were eminently satisfying to
both patrons and visitors. Dinner was
served on the grounds, and, eye Godsr'
what dinner it was. There was no
end to the abundance of good things on
the tables.
Miss Emma Tatum left for her home
in L0uvale, Stewart county, last Monday
accompanied by her sister, Mrs. DR..
Cook. Miss Emma leaves many friends
behind to regret her departure, tor she
endeared herself to all by her charming
personality.
The crops around Parrot, at present,
are exceedingly promising. The corn
crops especially are very good, and If
they proceed as they seem to promise
there will be surplus of the cereal in
this section next year.
Miss Mary Parrott has been confined
to her bed for several days by an attack
of nervousness and congestion. We are
glad to state she is improving, and hope
she may very soon be up again.

We hope for them speedy recovery.
