HINTS FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Shade the hives when the weather In
warm.
Put starters of thin foundation in the
section boxes.
Look out for robbers when the har-
vest becomes scarce.
Eastwood is the greatest honey pro-
Queer while in bloom.
Remove all frames filed with brood
from the brood chamber.
Put the honey in the driest, warmest
room about the house.
If exposed to cold or dampness honey
will granulate in the cells
Strong colonies at the proper time in
stare good honey harvest.
If you work for extracted be care
full not to extract too close.
A little pine tar smeared on board
will drive ants from the hive.
A weak solution of carbolic acid and
salt is good remedy for bee stings.
Where the honey is extracted a large
number of extra combs are necessary.
The only way to keep drones for any
length of time Is to keep hem In
queenless colonies.-St. Louis Republic,

Negro Bicycle Groom.

An ingenious London woman has i'm
parted a new element of smartness to
the wheel by setting up negro bicycle
groom. He looks very striking in a
respondent blue livery picked out with
white. Well set UP, riding straight as
dart, with the ostentatious vanity of
his race, this negro has for some days
been one of the attractions of Mayfair.
He steers through Bond street leading
the nickel-plated bicycle with blue
trimmings and saddle to match be-
longing to his mistress. Arriving at his
lady's house, he helps her to mount,
and follows at regulation distance the
silvered steed while it's smart owner
takes her morning spin in the park.

HOMEMADE CORN CUTTER.

will cut; eight-inch plank should do.
Mortise three crosspieces of two by
four into top of runners. Nail boards
on cross ties to make platform 30
inches wide and nearly six feet long.
Get a good steel knife and make it very
sharp, say 90 inches long and five inches
wide. Bevel the edge from the bot
tom or underside. Have rod made
with an eye in the center and curved,
in order to fasten either end to run
ner and hitch horse In the center.
This rod should be of one-half inch
round iron, and long enough to work
nicely, as shown at a. Bore hole in
platform or runner, and put in stake
about six inches high (b) even across
with the base of rod (c). Another stake
of the same size, but 20 inches high,
on the right side of platform near the
edge, and 81 inches from the front of
platform (d). Take rod of five-eighth-
inch iron 81 inches long and weld a
piece of fiat iron one-haf inch thick
and eight inches long to the end of it,
bolt the fat piece to platform (13 inches
from center to back of platform), and
bend the rod forward II inches above
the platform, as in e. Bend the rod so
as to have it extend out over the edge
of the platform, over anG back of the
knife CHI, then bend the rod in SO as
to extend about two inches over the
platform at the center two by four
cross brace (f. From there bend the
rod out to G. Be sure to have it carry
the same height all the time.
The bends in the rod are made in
order to bring in the corn and lay it
across the platform without the help
of man. In this way the danger OF
standing over the knife is averted.
Nail a small stick something like
lath from top of stake to the out
side runner a few inches ahead of the
knife. Bolt the knife to platform
about 20 inches from back part of plat
form with two bolts, and have the knife
slant back considerably. put scrap
piece of two-inch plank under the plat
form at and h, to make the platform
more solid where the large rod and
knife were bolted fast. The large rod
from to should be with bends so
inches long. Directly across it is 4s
inches, thus using two inches for bends.
The large rod is outside of stake
about five inches. Hitch on quiet horse,
hang the lines on d and ride on rear
of platform, and when large pile of
corn is cut and laid across the sled,
stop and shock 1t up.-Farm and Home.

Medical Aspects of Cycling.

DIR. Lucas Champiouniere, Of Paris,
is said TO have devoted a good deal of
attention to the medical aspects of
cycling. In his opinion 600 kilomcters
1868 miles) is not too much for a
healthy, well-trained rider. He be-
lieves that no heterogeneous food should
be eaten; in fact, very little solid food
during exercise, but it is important to
drink to replace the liquid lost by per-
spiration. Tea, beef tea and milk are
useful. He believes in racing on fruit
and liquid. In this respect he differs
from some other authorities. That
which may cause no harm to we'll
trained man of powerful physique
might be injurious to many who are inn
properly trained.

of the nose the sky and the color of the
flowers on the meadow around him.
from that time on he practiced for
live or six years to see with his nose.
which to him became practically the
organ of vision. He gradually became
more proficient in seeing in this way
and could see everything beneath him.
while he remained quite insensible to
the light from above.
The condition of this man can be ex-
planned scientifically. Although the
lens of the eye had been torn from it's
socket by the fall the optic membrane
and the nerves at the rear of the cav
ity of the eye had retained some of the
seeing power. When the eye had healed
together a small hole in the bone over
the nose must have formed, which acted
as lens in tie same way as pin hole
can be used to take Photographic pic
ture. This also proves that the retina
of the eye acts like a camera obscura
where the objects from the outside be-
come visible when the rays of light ar

Peculiar Scheme to BE Inaugurated
by n Nebraska Woman.
Mrs. Hattie N. Bemis, of Arabia,
Neb., does not see why women should
not be successful as farmers, and an
nounces that she is going to try the
experiment if she can get dozen
women to assist her. She owns large
tract of land in northwestern Nebraska
which she says she intends to give to
IL deserving widows of northwestern
farmers. In return she will require
them to cultivate it without mans as
sistance. She says she will start them
out with all the machinery they need,
sufficient supply of cattle, horses,
swine and poultry to serve as nest
egg, and money to last them until the
first harvest can be disposed of. She
admits that the climate is dry, but pro-
poses to instruct her wards in the op-
Grafton of system of soil culture by
which method experiments have proved
the rainfall of the section is sufficient
to insure bountiful crops. The near
eat the women will be allowed to come
to dealings with men is to sell the crops
to them. If Mrs. Bemis ever learns
that man has been employed about
the premises the farms will revert to
her. Any member of the community
who marries will also forfeit her title
to share in the property.-Chicagc
Chronicle.

Modern Researches Prove the Truth
OF n story Which Is Centuries Old.
Several authors of the sixteenth cen
fury mentioned the existence of man
who, having lost his eyesight, could
see through his nose. The story, much
doubted at the time and pronounced
fabulous by physicians, is nevertheless
true if the researches of E. Douliot
prove correct, says the Philadelphia
Record. 1t seems that the victim had
lost his right eye early in life and later
on while climbing cherry tree fell
upon fence, the pickets horribly mu-
tilating the left eye, the cheek and the
nose. The surgeon called in considered
the eye entirely destroyed, sewed up
the wound and it healed in time, form
ing large scar where the eye had been.
A year later the man, then considered
stone blind, lay in the grass when he
surprised himself by discovering that
he could perceive through the cavity
