In st. Nicholas there is an article on
"Some Common Bees and How They
Live" by A. Hyatt Verrill. Mr.. Verrill
says:
Unlike the Honey-bees, the Bundle
bee queens, to their credit be it said,
are not of jealous disposition, but live
peacefully together In one nest until in
the autumn the family breaks up, the
id queens, workers, and drones perish
ing. while the young queens, forsaken
and alone, crawl away to some protect
ed spot, wherein to pass the winter and
reappear In the spring and found an
other colony.
If you should examine Bumblebee's
nest, YOU would probably find among
our busy, Woodworking friends a num-
her of individuals who never labor for
their living; and although they come
and go with perfect freedom, never
bring pollen or honey, nor aid In max
ing wax. These are the "Guestbees,
or Inquilines, q species which depend
on their host the Bumblebee to furnish
them board and rooms rent free.
The Inquilines, like the European
cnckoo or the American cow-bunting
among birds, lay their eggs by stealth
in the Bumblebee's nests. The young,
when Matched, are cared for by their
foster-parcnts, and when full-grown
are treated with as, much consideration
as though they were guests of honor.
WHY the Bumblebees should permit
their unlimited visitors to remain WltF
them is a mystery; for although some
species closely resemble their hosts IN
size and color, others are quite differ
emit. 1t can hardly be supposed, there
fnre that they are mistaken for right
En-, members of the colony. On this as
count many naturalists have thought
that they perform some important
service in return for their hospitabie
reception; but of what this duty, II
onv consists has never been discov-
cred.

Sheen Amonr Growing Corn.

1t is the practice of good farmers
now to cultivate both corn and pota-
toes much longer than used to be
thought advisable. The reason is that
the modern cultivation is shallow and
does not disturb the roots. But where
a piece of either corn or potatoes is
weedy few sheep may be put into the
field after midsummer with no dan
ger whatever that they will injure the
crop. Almost any other stock will at
tack both corn and either the potato
tops or roots. Sheep will not eat either.
Usually only the ram was put in some
time in July, and was not taken out
until the corn was ready to harvest.
After corn is cut sheep will attack the
corn ears. While it stands they seldom
do this.

Dwarf Pears and Apples.

Thin the fruit, allowing not more
than forty to sixty specimens to remain
on each tree. The fruit will grow to a
fine size, and the strength of the tree
will not be taxed. Pinch the forward
branches in, keeping the tree compact
and symmetrical in form. Fruit for
exhibition should be carefully grown,
allowing not more than one peck to the
tree. Fork the earth up all around the
tree, and then cover the ground as far
out as the branches extend with one
inch in depth of rotted horse manure.
If the weather should prove dry, water
freely every evening.

the skin from the fish and pound or
chop fine with one hardboiled egg for
every four fish. Work into paste
with one and one-quarter tablespoon
fuls of salad dressing to every egg
used. Season with salt and pepper,
spread over thin slices of bread from
which the crust has been trimmed, and
form into sandwiches. Anchovies may
be used instead of sardines.

For Hog Plague.

The following is the prescription rec
commended for hog plague by DR.. Sal

One part wood charcoal; one part sui
phur; two parts sodium chloride or
common salt; two parts sodium bicar-
Donate; two parts sodium hyposulphite;
one part sodium sulphite; one part anti
mony sulphite. Pulyerize and mix
thoroughly. Dose-One tablespoonful

Among the Poultry.


Have troughs in which to feed all
soft feed.
If your hens lay soft-shelled eggs
they need more lime.
The sitting hen now has the floor.
Take care of her.
Is there not room for flock of geese
on your farm? Study the situation.
A warm feed for breakfast goes a
long way in inducing hens to lay now.
When the combs and wattles of the
fowls are of a bright red color it indi-
Gates a condition of health.
When the manure is hard and por-
ton is white, 1t indicates healthy con-
dition of the digestive organs.
When the fowls are busy scratching,
the hens laying and singing and the
cocks growing, these are signs of good
health.
When you can enter the hen house
after dark and hear no wheeling it
proves there are not any roupy fowls
in the flock.
A generous application of lime on the
chicken yard and in the sheds and runs
is now in order. 1t may prove cheap
prevention of disease.
When fowls are judiciously fed, made
to take exercise, and their quarters
kept clean and free from lice, there is
comparatively no trouble with sick
ness, except in cases of contagion.

Wash Feed Grain.

If one will wash a feed Of oats or
corn, there will be seen an amount of
filth and trash that would astonish the
man who thinks he feeds clean grain to
his horses. Try washing, and let the
grain dry or nearly so before feeding.
There are evidences that soaked corn
and oats are more profitable, more cas-
lily and thoroughly digestible than the
same amount fed dry.-Western Agri-

A good horse can travel 400 yards in
four and half minutes at a walk, 400
yards in two minutes in a trot, and 400
yards in one minute in gallop. The
usual work of horse is taken at 1850
pounds raised one foot per minute for
eight hours per day. A horse will car

Refuse brewers Money.

Drury College needed money, and a
well-known brewer subscribed $1,000,
which caused a rival brewer, who
heard of the offer, to say: "Put me

both brewers will withdraw their
money.

Where summer apples are plentiful
it is more profitable to make them into
cider, and then into vinegar. A hand

Puts up His Guarantee.

The Cambridge correspondent of the
Times. Recorder says: In conver-
sation to-day Mr.. Hecker said that the
talk of him taking the ball team to Oil
City, Pa, in case "a guarantee was not
given him, is all bosh. He says he has
arranged his business so that he can de-
vote his entire time to the club and that
he proposes to have the pennant
winners in Cambridge Several af the
men signed have excellent records and
the others are all good ones. Mr..
Hecker left this afternoon for Zanes-
vile to deposit the $500 guarantee with
the league. Cambridge is one of the
best base ball towns in southern Ohio
and patronizes the games as well as
any of them"

In Old New York.

New York Times.
The Dutch kitchen was the most i'm
portant as well as the most comforta-
BILE room in the house. 1t was used as
a general sitting and dining room,
where the family, master and servants
alike, clustered around the huge fire
place. Sometimes in the wealthy
ems, one of which was used for the
slaves. The principal feature was the
fireplace, very high and wide, with the
mantle-piece scarcely more than a
broad molding. Here rested the can
dlesticks of silver or brass. The space
between the mantlepiece and ceiling
was sometimes paneled, but more often
a valance of pink or blue was hung
from side to side, and fresh one hung
every Saturday afternoon. This val
ance was known as ''schoonsteen val
1etje." Oyer the mantle were the rows
of pewter plates.
Pewter plates and dishes were used
almost entirely by our ancestors in
New Netherland, although china and
earthenware were introduced at an
early date, much earlier than in New
England.
When Cornelius Steenwycli died, in
1856, he left 10 pieces of china and a
great deal of pewter Francis Rom
bout, one of the mayors of New York,
died in 1900, leaving 26 earthen dishes,
IL earthen cups, 6 ''purslin" cups, 6
earthen jugs and 6 pitchers, whereas
in long list of articles presented by a
wealthy Nan Highlander, Judge Sewall,
to his daughter upon her marriage in
1920 there is no mention of china or
earthenware of any kind, though pew
ter plates and glass salt cellars are on
the list.
For the adherence of the Dutch
vrouws to their pewter tableware Ga
brial Furman gives an amusing excuse
in his "Long Island Antiquities" He
says: 1.-THE elderly and old-fashioned
preferred their pewter dining sets
urging as a reason that they could not
keep knives in good order if they usec
new-fangled plates and dishes"

So Large 1t Took Three Weeks to
Move 1t Fifty Feet.
An unusual feat in the transplanting
line was accomplished recently here
says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. An elm
tree so feet high and with trunk Is
inches in diameter, with roots and all
was moved 80 feet. The tree is the
property of Mrs. William Thaw, and
stood on the line of the Beechwood
boulevard, where it traversed Mrs
Thaw's property at Fifth avenue near
Shady avenue.
Mrs. Thaw desired to save the tree,
and Contractor John Eichleay under
took to move it. \ circular trench
was dug around the tree at distance of
ten feet from the trunk. At depth
of six feet the worllmen eXcavated un-
with timbers. The mass of earth, 20
feet across and six feet deep, in which
were imbedded the tree and its roots,
was then boxed in with planlls. Screws
We're placed beneath, the whole mass
raised and placed on rollers and moved
so feet to where the great hole had been
prepared for its reception. 1t was low
cred into place, earth filed in as the
screws were removed, and it stood as
firm as if it had grown there.
The tree was maintained in an up
right position by the weight of earth
at the roots. The whole mass weighed
20 tons. The work occupied about
three weeks, and number Of photo
graphs of the tree while in transit were
taken.

The Girls Didn't Know That He Was
an OId-Timer.
\ young man leaned up against the
counter of a branch telegraph office
where two pretty young ladies are en-
ployed as telegraphers, says an eX-
change. He had been chatting with
them for about an hour, but had forgot
ten to say that at one period of his life
he himself had been an operator. Dur
ing lull in the conversation one Of the
young ladies "opened" her key and said
to the other:
What do You think of mis- nibs at
the counter?"
Don't think much of him." was the
reply. "Why?"
"Oh, he makes me tired-he talks like
q parrot"
He makes ne tired, too-wish he
would sneak"
The young man broke in at this juno
ture and said: Ladies', 1 thank you
for the compliments you have bestowed
upon me, and as you are tired of my
company I'll sneak"
The numerous colors of the rainbow
would not be sufficient to describe the
changes that took place in the young la
dies faces. There is moral attached
to this tale, and young ladies in branch
offices and elsewhere would do well to
take heed.

CHINESE LOVE LETTER.
The Celestial Youths Father Attends
to the correspondence.

=
to the Correspondence.
Here is a good sample of a love-mak-
ing missive from the Flowery kingdom.
1t is from a man who desired the daugh-
ter of n neighbor as a wife for his son:
"On my knees I beg you not to de-
spisc this cold and common request,
but listen to the words of the mat
rimonial agent, and give your daugh-
ter to the slave of a son, so that the
pair, bound by the silken threads,
may have the greatest joy. In the beau
tiful springtime I shall offer we'd
ding presents and give. a couple of
geese. And let us hope for long and
continuous fortune and look forward
through endless generations to the full
fillment of genuine love. May they
sing of plenty and have every joy. On
my knees / beg you to consider nv
proposal favorably, and throw the
mirror-like glance of your eyes upon
these lines"
To this letter the father of the bride
replied thap he would attend to the nor.
ton of his 'poor and poverty-stricken
daughter, that she might not be with
out bedclothes, cotton clothing, hair.
pins and earrings. Therefore it wns
to be hoped that the couple would have
constant fortune"

The Handy X-Rny.

The Roentgen rays are now applied
by silk experts to distinguish male from
female cocoons by taking picture of
the chrysalis inside the cocoon. 1t is
known that the male cocoon gives much
more silk than the female one. The eggs
inside the female chrysalis are not so
easily penetrated by the rays as the
rest of the chrysalis and stand out dis
tinctly in n photograph. Thus the CO.
coons can be selected according to their
value.

some Peculinrities Recently Discov-
cred in the Heavenly Bodies.
y late circular issued from the Har-
ward college observatory includes in its
account of the most important recent
discoveries the spectrum of a star
known as Zeta Puppis, its remarkable
character being unlike that of anyIoth-
or yet obtained, the continuous spec
trum containing three systems of lines
first, the dark hydrogen lines. such as
are found in stars of the first type;
second, two bright bands or lines, which
may be identical with the adjacent lines
in spectra of the fifth type. and, third,
a series of very faint lines. But the
most important feature of this spec
trum, says the New York Sun, is a new
clement, not found on the earth or il
any other stars, an element which.
though similar to hydrogen. is vet dis
tinctly different from it; just what it
is or by what name to call it astron-
omers are undecided, the marked
popularity being noted that it pro-
duces a vibration systematic rather
than accidental, of three ten-millionths
of millimeter, aud the action of which
can be traced only on a specially-pre-
pared Photographic plate. Another ex-
traordinary discovery noted is a new
variable star, in the constellation Crux,
with period of about year.

BONES OF ST. PATRICK.
Claim That Relics in Montreal Church
Arc Gcnuinc.

Recently n statue of St. Patrick,
from the studio of sculptor in Rome,
Italy, was placed in the chancel of st.
Fatricll's church, which edifice re-
Gently celebrated its fiftieth anniver-
sary. On the breast of the statue is q
small box which, it is claimed, con-
tains a portion of the bones of
Ireland's patron saint. The ques-
tion having been raised as to
the genuineness of this relic, dotu-
mentary evidence has been produced
showing that it had for centuries been
in the possession of The monastery Of
the Holy Cross in SaXo Urvo, Italy.
This institution has a fully attested
record proving beyond question that
the relic is q portion of the mortal re-
mains Of Ireland's saint. Great in
torest is manifested among the Catho-
lie community as to whether the relic
will manifest any miraculous char
acteristics. 1t was presented to The
church through Mgr lie Clair, one Of
the professors of the Canadian college
at Rome, who formerly was one Of the
priests Of St. Patrick's.

MATCHMAKING IN JAPAN.

The Most slSillful Workers in the
World and the Poorest Paid.
The competition of Japanese matches
is already being severely felt in Europe
an markets, says the Pittsburgh Dis
patch. After supplying the home mar
kst, the japanese send 2,5o0,00O,Oo0 box
es to the rest of the world, mostly, how
ever, to Asia. This has destroyed the
European match trade in India, Chiya
and Hong Kong, but so far it has not af-
fected the trade in America to any ex-
tent. That it will shortly do so, how
ever, is, in the opinion of Robert p. Por-
ter, certain. Mr.. Porter says that dur
ing his stay in Japan on an official in
vestigation the output of at least one
large match concern at Osaka was Sc
cured by an American syndicate. Osaka
produced last year 10o,O00,0o0 dozen
boxes of matches employing 5000 men
and 0,711 women to say nothing of the
innumerable children who earn few
sen per day in the work. One of the
largest factories employs $500 hands.
The sticks are cut by machinery. They
are sifted into little boxes by women
and collected and put in frames by tiny
waits of children, some of whom are
under ten. The sulphur and paraffine
are put on by hand presses and then
dried in the sun. The boxes are made
and the labels put on by little girls,
whose fingers are so nimble that the
human eye is incapable of following
their movements as the purple and yell
low boxes drop, more than one second,
into the huge baskets at their sides.
Over ~ hours a day these little crea-
lures labor for wages which range from
one cent to five cents of our money.
