ECOND MARCH OF 9Th MASSACHUSETTS, THROUGH BALTIMORE.

population of London Is approaching
100000, and for purposes of sanitary
supervision the area Is divided into for
ty-three districts, each having Its med
ical officer Of health. Sanitation and
medical science are graphing success
fully with disease, and the illustrative
diagrams by means of which DIR. Muir
ply reduces numerous bewildering bat
tallons Of statistics to a striking com
p%rehensive impression of that contest
tell on the whole q fairly satisfactory
story.
Marriages are certainly found to be
declining when we take a long survey,
even II we are not able to say that the
%dimlnution Is all under the head of I'M
provident unions. The marriages dur
ing the forty-fiye years from 1851 to
1896 show a mean rate of 1879 per 1000.
But from 1851 to 1876 the marriage rate
each year was above that mean. There
was indeed n brief period-it covered
the ~'60s-when marrying in London
burst forth with exceptional fervor, but
the abnormal effort seems to have had
the consequence Of all abnormal eff
forts In a remarkable reaction, and
since then making a 'nuptlal of two
hearts has gone steadily downward,
though, we may add, to reassure the
tlmorous, that In actual figures the
diminution on the quarter of "A century
Is from 1915 to 1870 per 1000. Last year
39,6S9 marriages We're made in Lon
don, and the number is probably ample.
The birth rate too Is on the down
grade, the turn in this department be
ginning about 1885. and continuing un.
I'll now. Last year births were most
numerous in the combined eastern dis
tricts and lowest In the western, and
we notice, furthermore, that, although
the fewest children were born IA tn,
western part of London, more infants
died there than In any other group o.
districts. The fall in the London brit
rate corresponds strangely with a fal

First Food of Bees In Spring.

After bees have safely wintered they
first gather propollls, a reddish sub
stance which they procure from the
buds of trees, and whose use is not
dearly known, though part of 1t seems
10 be to close up cracks which the win
Ter has made In their dwelling, Then
they set TO work to gather pollen, the
formulating dust from the stigmas of
flowers. They get a great deal of this
rom the blossom of the maple, and 1t
S this rather than sweet sap that the
bees frequent maple trees In bloom to
obtain. OF course there Is no sweet
less In maple sap after the trees have
eayed out. The taste Is rather bitter
han sweet. Nature is an expert chem
st, and can change In a weeks time
Ill the sugar In n maple tree into the
material for depositing fibre in the
branches and the new foliage that the
rec then puts on. A good substitute
or the pollen of flowers Is found in
rery fine rye or wheat flour, kept where
t will be sheltered from rain, and
where the bees can readily get at 1t.
Hundreds of bees in early spring will
glsit n dish that has a little rye flour
~'prinkled on Its bottom and exposed to
he sun. The bees use this pollen as
,eed for young bees when newly
Matched. Therefore the queen bee does
aot begin laying until a supply of pol
Ell has been obtained. The earlier the
queen bee begins to work the sooner
he hive fills with bees, aud new
warns are ready to issue.

THE SIXTH MASSACHUSETTS.
Famous Regiments Second March
Through Baltimore.

Times change and men change with
them. This truth Is recalled by the
reception accorded the Sixth Massa-
chusetts Regiment in Baltimore while
on its way to the encampment In Falls
Church, Va, TO aid in crushing Spain.
This greeting was splendid in concep-
ton and carrying out and reflects great
credit upon the Baltlmoreans who left
nothing undone that could contribute
to the gloriication of the Bay State
soldlery while within the confines of
Maryland's great city. In marked con-
trast TO this was the reception given to
the same regiment In the same city on
April 10, 1861, while on its way to
Washington. Then the command was
set upon by a mob numbering thou
sands, and before the regiment cut its
way through the Infatuated multitude
five soldiers We're killed and twenty
four wounded. The number of dead
and wounded In the assaultlng column
was never correctly ascertained, but
from the most authentic sources at
least thirty were killed and more than
100 wounded. The fight was desperate
for more than n mile and the yolleys of
the soldiers were given with the muz-
zles of their guns within a few feet of
those who disputed their passage. This
assault made the regiment famous, as
1t was the first blood shed in the civil
conflict.

Tested through her streets.
Long ago Boston and Baltimore made
up for this scrlmmage and have been
the best friends since, and IT was at
the request of the Marylanders that the
Sixth Regiment, equipped for service
against a foreign foe, be invited to
tread the streets where her march was
SO rudely disturbed thirty-seven years
ago. The invitation was promptly ac-
cepted by Col. Woodward and his men.
When the regiment arrived there 1t met
with "A magnificent welcome. For four
hours thousands hung around the
Mount Royal station awaiting the sol
dires. When they did arrive 10000 peo-
pie were massed In the square and n
great shout went up as the Boston boys
left the train. A delegation of 200 OF
the leading citizens headed by Mayor
Master met the troops. The Mayor in
words touching and tender addressed
the Sixth, and babe them God-speed on
their journey, and then presented a

Controlling Plant Lice.

Plant lice are among the most i'm
portant of the injurious insects. As
plant lice suck their food, paris green
and similar poisons cannot be depend
ed upon when used in the ordinary
manner. Some external irritant must
be used instead. Numerous insecticides
of this nature are recommended. One
of the most important is good whale
oil soap. Experiments during the past
season show that one pound of whale
oil soap to seven gallons of water will
kill plum and currant lice. The solu-
ton should be applied in a fine spray
to the under surface Of the leaves

hunting a place Of safety. A running

There is no good reason why the
farmer should not grow caulifower If
he or his family like them better than
cabbage. They require no stronger
soil, no heavier manuring and no more
labor until the time comes for tying up

but little, only that they need looking

are just right to tie up for blanching
and when they are ready for cutting.
