HOW BRITISH. PREMIERS HAVE,
 COURTED SLEEP.

Most prominent men are either re- markable for their ability to sleep at a moments notice, or else resort to some special method for inducing the same. Of Prince Ministers, Lord Derby on one occasioin advised an Irish mem Der to "banish business matters from your mind by reading before going to bed any trash calculated to bore or stupify you;" and Lord Rosebery found the hotwater cure effective; but most of the English premiers have been able to do without any aids to slumber.
 MT. Gladstone, as we'll known. would in times of great anxiety lie down on q sofa, and in a few minutes be fast asleep while Pitt was also able to sleep at any time, attributing to this habit the fact that the most anxious of his life he was able to cast aside all care and worry, and enter into the frivolities of social life as if his mind were free Once Pitt slept after an unusual strain for sixteen consecutive hours. Lord Palmerston was another Prime Minis ter who could woo sleep whenever he pleased, and was often seen in the in- tervals of hot debate fast asleep in his seat with his hat drawn well over his eyes.-London Westminster Gazette.

JUST HOW HE DOTH.

Ihe Way the Little Busy Bee I'm proves Each Shining Hour. G. w. Reynolds of Los Angeles, Cal.
 one ot the oldest travelling men in the Unlted states, is seventy-one years of | age. MT. Reynolds has a ranch. of which he enjoys telling even more than | he does of the experiences through which he has passed during his half
 century upon the road. The ranch is near San Diego, Cal The chief pro- duct is gained from two apiaries. which
 MT. Reynolds visits every time his busi-
 ness permits him.
 Tn my apiaries, which are cared for by my son. said he, there are one hundred and forty stand of bees. The
 honey season lasts from April to July.
 This season my bees yielded forty
 thousand pounds of honey, which sells
 in that country in bulk lots at four cents a pound. Two of the hives gave
 over five hundred pounds each. For
 ten years have been interested in bees in small way, and take greater in terest in them every year. A hive or stand of bees is worth $2.5O In it are the queen, the drones and the workers, total population of from twenty to twenty-five thousand bees.
 This very good-sized colony" he continued, resides in a hive or wood en box. In the hive are dozen frames thirteen by seven inches. In these the bees make or deposit the honey, a foun dation of wax having been first placed in each frame by the bee keeper, so that the bees may have something to build upon. The honey Is taken out of the frames every other week during the honey season. While doing so there is little need of protecting the hands. The bees seems stbb be the most inclined to sting one in the face. So as a pre- caution the man who is removing the honey from the hives wears straw hat, from the brim of which is hung a silk veil, like they have to do up in the Klondike country to ward off the mo- squitoes.
 The queen is an absolute monarch within her dominions. She is the undis- puted boss of the1jo An ordinary bee lives during the working season only forty-five days. Young ones are being matched out all the time A bee goes to work at the tender age of three days, and hustles like a veteran for forty two days. Then it is just naturally ali tired out, suppose, for it dies. The queen lives lonefrA and when young queen comes into existence in the hive she drives the old queen out. Her loyal subjects follow her in her and that is what makes the swarm.
 Tn southern California the bees make water white honey when the black sage is in blossom When the white sage is Towering the honey is an amber tinge. In winter the bees make no honey. Seventy-five carloads are shipped out of San Diego county in good years. ."-Denver Republican.

The Hillhouse-New Britain Game to
 Be Played at New Haven

The Hillhouse-New Britain Game to
 Be Played at New Haven.
 In spite of reports to the contrary, the Hillhouse-New Britain game will be played at Yale field. Said a Hill house team authority last night: New Britain has done her best to get the game at Hartford, hoping thereby to gain such an advantage that she could win from Hillhouse by foul means if not by fair, but although 1t looked at first as though she would be success ful, the Hillhouse officials by prompt action have secured the game here, where it has always before been played and where the Yale management wish it played this year. Hillhouse now wishes to defeat New Britain more than ever and is working energetically under Coach Sanford to accomplish the desired result The game this coming Saturday is the final game of the In- ter scholastic series and the winner gains possession of the Yale cup. a pennant and the championship of the state The Yale cup is offered by the 1ale Football association and will be- come the property of the school which shall first win it three times, New Britain has already held it twice and it is not to be expected she will give it up without hard fight; on the other hand, this is the first year since 1893 that Hlllhouse has been in the finals and she intends to win the champion ship of the state this year. It seems to be the opinion of competent judges that she will do this, but she will have to play fine football The game will be played on the Varsity field and will be, called at 10:30 a. m. next Saturday" I
