When Scylla reached home she went

were swarming with children, who had
risen early to gather flowers to decorate
the temples. Soft laughter rose on the
fir grant air, and looks of trouble were
for the time cast aside.
Could one conceive of a more peace
full and contented people? Yet sincere
as their happiness was now, it was only
as ray Of broken light streaming
through jft in the dark clouds.
For Mes was besieged, and the
camp of the 1emy lay just outside the
walls Of the city. A truce had been de-
clared that the people might celebrate
their holy rites to the gods.
And so, grateful for the lull of the
strife which for six months had borne
heavily upon them, the people threw
hearts and souls into the pure pleasure
of this one blessed day. They needed
not that this reprieve was but the false
hope sent by cruel fate, and that the
darkest hour Of their trial was COM
ing swiftly on silent wings.
The people now passed in throngs, all
gaily attired in their holiday clothes
which for months had been put aside.
1t was time for the ceremony of sac
rifice, and the young maidens, dressed
in spotless white, with white flowers
entwined in their locks, and trailing
over their flowing robes, looked like
seraphs, with their young faces all
aglow with holy enthusiasm.
On a smooth, rolling plain, covered
with it's natural carpet of green, and
dotted with flowers, which seemed like
sprinkling of sunbeams, the altar had
been erected. The procession formed
slowly, the white-robed msiaens COM
ing first, chanting, and swaying slight
ly to an easy dancing step. Then fol-
lowed the youths Of the kingdom, their
boyish voices taking up the strain OF
the maidens, swelling it louder and
rolling it over the long ranks.
When these had formed circle about
the altar, long avenue was left clear,
and then the glory of the procession
came into view. Six tiny maidens
hands masses of flowers entwined about
ribbons, and leading by them a snow
white bull. It's horns were like ivory
and shone in the sunlight. No flower or
ornament was needed to add charm
to the perfect animal
Walking beside it, her arms thrown
caressingly around its neck, was the
pride of the kingdom, Scylla, the kings
daughter, She was tai! and slight, and
as graceful as a reed. Her dark hair
hung about her in lustrous coils, and
swept over the back of the bull. Her
robe was Of cloth of gold, and deep
purple amethysts fastened it's folds and
glistened from her black hair. Other
ornaments, she had none.
Closely following her was Nisus, the
king, surrounded by his guards. He

Feeding Bees.


At a recent meeting of the Muswell-
brook Beekeepers association Mr.. Paul
read an interesting paper from which
the following extracts are made:
Bees must be properly managed in
the spring or the crop of honey will be
disappointing in any season. If the
bees have been provided at the end of
the previous years honey crop with
plenty of stores to last them through
the winter and until spring has fairly
commenced, nothing need be done. to
them except to see that the covering on
top OF frames is dry and that the hive
contains a good queen. If any are
| queenless give them one at once. Should
any doubt exist that the stores are not
sufficient give them a frame of sealed
honey. I think / would prefer to feed
syrup; they would then have time to
store 1t in the frames where they clus-
ter, and could the more easily reach it
il cold days should come afterwards.
But whatever is fed should be in guam
tity sufficient to last until the warm
weather has set in. A thorough ex-
animation of the hives is most i'm
| portant, because it is well known that
colonies of the same size consume very
different quantities of honey through
the winter, and we are very liable to be
mistaken in our estimate of the guam
tity of honey the bees may have.
Should any fear arise Of chilling
brood the hive should never be opened
unless the weather is favorable. 1t is
not necessary to expose the brood nest
to ascertain the. quantity of honey a
colony may have; simply throw back
the quilt, or covering if used, and feel
the weight of few of the frames. The
general prosperity of colony of bees
in spring depends upon proper care,
favorable weather, and plenty TO eat,
the latter condition being absolutely in
dispensable. A great many beekeepers
claim that to get the best results it is
necessary to resort to daily feeding,
whether the bees have plenty of stores
or not, but I think the work of the
queen depends upon the care and at
tention the workers give her, and it is
certainly conclusive that the bees have
natural sagacity enough to feed their
mother well when they have plenty in
store, whether fresh supplies are COM
ing in or not. Many experts advise not
to begin too early if feeding is consid-
cred advisable, because we are liable to
have our hives full of bees which we
may have to feed too long before the
honey flow commences. / myself would
prefer to have my colonies strong a
month too soon than month too late.
"a warm, dry, clean hive with an
average queen and full supply OF
stores through the spring means a
strong colony by the time the honey
flow begins.
81 find shallow dish filled with
syrup placed on top of frames and COW
cred with cheese cloth, very simple
way of feeding. The following nues-
ton was asked in one of the leading
American journals lately: With plenty
of stores in the hive in spring, should a
colony be fed?' Most of the answers
are against feeding, while few recon-
mend uncapping frame or two OF
sealed honey to stimulate brood rear
! ing. "-Australasian.

Lambs and Grain-Habit is stronger
with the lamb than with any animal
that we try to feed. The digestive pow
ers are also more delicate. 1t is say
ing among lamb feeders that 1.-TWO
grains of corn will kill a lamb"
am not sure but it is true. Two grains
of undigested corn might set up a dis
turbance in the alimentary canal that
would result in the dreaded inflamma-
ton OF the bowels, and death sure as
strychnine. Getting lambs to eat grain
is of necessity slow, gradual process
1t is well to put out the troughs in
the pasture and merely put salt in them
a few times until the lambs all learn
to run to them when they are called
Then a little bran scattered along in
the troughs for few times will teach
them to eat there. Do not give more
than taste of grain until you are sure
that they have nearly all learned to cal
it, and to come quickly when called
