can protect themselves against the

they can be removed by lifting the
frames containing the combs out OF
the hive and with q pointed knife lift
them out of the comb. They can be
easily detected and found by the white

Lord Russell's visit to America re-
minds the London Chronicle of an an
Gent story. 1t says that during Lord
Russell's previous tour in this coun-
try with Lord Coleridge he came in
contact with many members of the bar,
including Mr.. Evarts. It was while
walking with Mr.. Evarts n day along
the banks Of q stream that his atten-
ton was called to q point at which
Washington, according to q tradition,
had thrown q dollar right across The
water was wide, and Lord Russell
looked doubtful. You know q dollar
went further in those days than 1t zoe
now" The American lawyer blandly
insinuated. "Ah," said Lord Russell,
quite equal to the occasion, "and it
may have been easy enough to Wash
ington; it is we'll known that he threw
sovereign across the Atlantic"

B. ". Steere, Carthage. Ind, before
the Indiana Horticultural Society,
spoke as follows:
In planting trees along u highways
the narrow roads in many places would
appear as one of the chief dif1culdes
to be overcome. I have been accus-
toned to four-rod roads, as in Michi-
gan all section line roads are, by law.
and most Of the laid out roads are the
same. This width allows the row OF
trees to be planted eight feet from the
fence, giving a nice sidewalk for school
children and calling neighbors. an I'M
portant matter on dirt roads. The rem
edy that suggests itself for narrow
roads is to set the row close to the
fence, in the field or out. with Walk
outside of 1t. In the discussion OF Dest
kinds I zee that some recommend fruit
trees. Experience has repeatedly shown
that this is a mistake. Where tried,

CAUSE AND CURE OF HEADACHE

An eminent physician says the best
treatment for headache is preventive,
and il we would all allot eight hours
for work, eight for play, and eight for
sleep, we would rarely suffer from this
cause.
The headache which comes from dis
eased eyes is most common aud least
recognized. Its symptoms are pain in
the eyes, temples and over the brows.
Hot water is q very valuable stimulant
for the eyes.
For nervous headache a hot bath. .
stroll in the cool air " a nap in a
cool, quiet room win often be found
successful. A headache from fatigue
may be helped by pressing a sponge
wet with hot water on the nape of the
neck and on the temples.
Bilious or sick headaches are com
mon to the first half of life. and some
times stop of their own accord when
one reaches middle age. They come
when a person has eaten food which
does not digest readily, and a careful
diet is imperative, sweetmeats and pas
try being especially dangerous.
Neuralgia is caused not only by cooS
air, but by acidity of the stomach,
starved nerves or imperfect diet. Heat
is the bes. remedy auu mustard plas-
tefs applied to the stcMach and legs
will do more good than any mediciNe.
Cold water applied to the nerves in

Headache may be caused by diseased
Of the blood, by nervous
irritation and by Inflammation of the
nerves of the head or adjacent tissues,
this last being infrequent. Liver tor
pidity and catarrhal troubles have
much to do with headaches, as they az
feet the blood. Nerve irritation comes
in many forms. The nerve terminate
throughout the body. in the muscles
and on mucous surfaces, In delicate NJ |

ers, TO determine the actual available
ity of this form of phosphoric acid. as
compared with that in Apatite. South
Carolina phosphate, and other mineral
Dhosphates, as well as superphosphates.
The summary of these experiments
may be given as follows:
1. The superior value which has
hitherto been accorded to undissolved
bone-meal as a fertilizer is due SOLE
ly 10 the nitrogen which it contains.
2. U~ndissolved bone-meal as a phos-
phate fertilizer is NO more valuable
than are the raw mineral phosphates.
8. Hereafter it must be classed with
the latter, rather than with high grade
phosphates containing available phOs-
phoric acid.
4. As a phosphate fertilizer it yields
no better results than mineral phos-
pilates, whether tried alone or with
superphosphate, on loans or sandy
soils, on soils rich or very poor in phos-
phoric acid, whether with grains or
with turnips, mustard, or other cru
ciferous plants; either in the first or in
succeeding crops.
5. The various kinds Of b0ne-meal
show no essential difference in these
results.
6. The best form in which to apply
hone-meal is as dissolved bone-meal,"
1. e., mixed with GO degrees s~ulfuric
acid, at the rate of 20 per cent for raw,
and 40 per cent for glue-free bone
