ESTABLISHING AN APIARY.

A bulletin of the Department Of Ag-
riculture says: Spring is the best time
to establish an apiary, especially for
a person unacquainted with the prac-
teal care of bees. Colonies in good
condition secured then are more easily
kept in order by the novice than if pur-
chased in the fall. Mistakes in man
agement may possibly be remedied be-
fore the season closes, and by the time
it is necessary to prepare for the win
ter the learner will have gained GER
tain amount Of practical knowledge
of the nature and requirements Of the
bees.
If the start be made late In the sea-
son, mistakes, If they occur, may re-
suit fatally before the proper remedy
can be applied. The beginner had bet
ter obtain his start by purchasing one
or two colonies Of pure Italian or Car
NOLAN bees in accurately made frame
hives and in tirst-class condition. These
he should get Of some bee master OF
repute near his own place if possible
in order to avoid expressage and possi-
BILE damage through long confinement
or numerous transfers. The cost per
colony may be Sc to $S,yet bees at this
price will generally be found much
cheaper in the end, for, though COM
mon bees in box hives may frequently
be obtained at half the price or less,
the cost, when finally transferred into
frame hives, fitted up with straight
combs, and the common queens re-
placed by Italian or Carniolans, will
not be less.
The possession Of colony already in
prime working order gives the novice
q standard with which to compare all
others, and often enables him to avoid
costly experiments. Another plan, also
commendable, is to agree with some
neighboring bee keeper to deliver as
many first swarms on the day they is
sue as are wanted. These will give
the right start If placed as received in
hives with foundation starters and the
frames properly spaced-one and three
eighths inches from centre to centre,
1t being understood thar the swarms
are early and prime ones, with vigorous
queens. Only those issuing from colo
MES that have swarmed the year be-
fore, or from such as were themselves
second swarms of the previous year
should be accepted. Swarms from these
will have queens not over one year old.
1t Is better to have queens Of the
current years raising, but these can
only be obtained by taking the second
or third swarms from given hive,
which come later and are smaller, or by
substituting young queens for those
that come with the swarms.

Castor Oil q Hair Tonic.

The fashionable coiffure for youn;
women and girls is waved at the sides,
where it droops little. Small combs
hold these waves In place. The coil at
the back is placed rather high. Castor
oil, pure and simple, is said to be an
excellent tonic for the hair, used once
a month.
1t is applied with small, fine sponge,
which is dipped in the oil and rubbed
on the scalp, the hair being parted with
the fingers.

LETTUCE.

With the exception possibly of the
cabbage, few vegetables require as rich
soil Id order to get the best results as
lettuce. Many vegetable plants are
not particular as to the quality of the
manure. Anything in abundance will
do, but the lettuce seems to prefer rank
partially rotted manure to any other
kind. We have seen it thriving in the
rich soil Of a greenhouse where it was
used as first crop."-Meehans

His little FelIer.Y

How the thought of the little ones al
home, and the joys their presence
brings helps to sweeten many toll
worn life, is effectively told in the fol-
lowing story which we copy from the
Waterman:
l was opening a barrel of apples
when the big, dust covered and nee
essarily untidy man came back with
the empty ash barrel, picked up an
apple and held it out toward him,
saying as l did so:
Won't you have an apple?"
He took it eagerly, saying, as he did
so:
"Thapk We, sir; I've a little Teller at
home who'll be tickled to death to git
it. most always find something OF
other in the ash barrels to carry home
to i'm at night, but it amt often git
anything equal to this big apple. tell
ye the little feller's eyes will shine
when he sees it."
l don't know how many times that
day my thoughts were Of that big,
rough handed fellow, with that apple
put away so carefully in his pocket for
that little Teller"
When evening came I thought Of the
little Teller" who was on the lookout
for the big, dust covered father, with
the calloused and soiled hands.
These little fellers" glorify and
beautify many home in which power
ty abides. But human affections can
sweetly and patiently endure toll and
rags and poverty when there is nit

when the long day is done.

Windmill Turned Into a chapel.

A picturesquely-situated old wind,
mill which stands on the highest point
OF Reigate Heath, in the county Of Sur
rev. England, is now known as the
chapel of st. Cross. After the ancient
mill had stood empty for many years
1t was turned to good and useful pur-
pose, and has for the last sixteen yeara
been used as chapel Of ease to the
parish church of Relgate. The interior
OF the mill is no bare room with SIM
ply few chairs and a reading-desk,
but has been converted into a perfect
little chapel; the walls are artistically
decorated, and the altar is furnished
with candles and vases, and covered
with an embroidered frontal. A full
choral service, with supplied choir. ia
held here every Sunday, and is chiefly
attended by the cottagers living upon
the Heath. The chapel seats between
thirty and forty people and the first
service was held in it on the 14th OF
September, 1880.

some People,s Foods.

The foreigners who come to this
country prefer the foods they are ac-
customed to in their own country.
When you walk through the regions
where the Germans live, you see rye
bread, sausages and signs announcing
that sauerkraut is for sale. When you
go through the part of any city where
many French families live, you will
see that the keepers of the shops are
French, and the signs in the window
announce the sale of French foods, in
the French language. In the Hebrew
quarters you will find that it is the kind
of food that the Hebrews, no matter
from what country they come, prefer,
that is sold in the shops. Where the
Cinnamon live, it is the foods that they
prefer that you will see in shop win
dows. These foods come from their
native country Thirty thousand duck
eggs were sent to this country from
China during the last month. These
eggs are each wrapped in black mud.
This mud. which is of the consistency
OF putty, remains on the egg for
months. The yolk of the Chinese duck
eggs is pink, not yellow like our duck
eggs. These eggs are packed in boxes
Of twenty-five dozen, but the Chinese
dozen is ten, not twelve, as the Ameri-
can dozen is counted The rice the
Cinnamon prefer is cooked to a jelly
form. Sharks fins are Chinese deli
cacy, and sailed plums are also a deli
cacy. You may think these are queer
things to want to eat, but you must re-
member that much that you eat would
make Chinaman shudder-that he can
not conceive how you can wear the
clothes you do, and that our babies,
with their full heads of hair, are hide
GUS little monsters. 1t is a matter of
education and custom.-Selected.

Bees as AIDS in War.

History records two instances, &C.
cording to Mr.. Whitley Stokes in the
London Athenaeum, in which bees have
been used in warfare as weapons
against besieging forces. The first is
related by Appian, Of the siege of The
miscyra in Pontus, by Lucullus in his
war against Mithridates. Turrets were
brought up, mounds were built. and
huge mines were made by the Romans,
The people of Themiscyra dug open
these mines from above, and through
the holes cast down upon the workmen
bears and other wild animals and hives
or swarms of bees.
The second instance is recorded In
an Irish manuscript in the Bibliotheuue
Royale, at Brussels, and tells how the
Danes and Norweglans attacked Ches-
ter, which was defended by the Sax
ons and some Gallo auxiliaries. The
Danes were worsted by a stratagem,
but the Norwegians, sheltered by hur-
dies, tried to pierce the walls of the
toWn-When, what the Saxons and the
Gaeidhtl who were among them did
was TO throw down large rocks, by
which they broke down the hurdles
over their heads. What the others did
to check this was to place large posts
under the hurdles. What the Saxons
did next was to put all sthe beer and
water of the town into the caldrons of
the town, to boil them and spill them
down upon those who were under the
hurdles, so that their skins were peeled
off. The remedy which the Lochlans
applied to this was to place hides out
side the hurdles. What the Saxons did
next was to throw down all the bee
hives in the town upon the besiegers,
which prevented them moving their
hands or legs, from the number of bees
which stung them. They afterwards de-
sisted and left the city"

A witness in a murder case in Indi.
ana recently testified that the evening
before the tragedy he dined with the
victim, and the latter, on paying the
waiter, drew a five-dollar bill from
a large roll containing fifty times that
amount. This statement suggested
motive for the murder which had hith-
erto been ncomprehensible. Future
civilization may emphasize the fact
that to offer temptation is as culpable
las the crime it incites. The man who
needlessly opens rolls Of money in pub
lie places; the woman who displays
valuable jewels in street cars; the
merchant who thoughtlessly gives his
young clerk tempting opportunities for
peculation; the housekeeper who trusts
without oversight all accounts to her
