NOTES FOR BEEKREPRRS.

With good management 1t costs little
to keep o few hives Of bees.
Do not neglect to look for the queens
or brood when opening the hives in the
spring.
No matter when bees are moved, they
should be fastened up 30 that none can
escape.
To very considerable extent spring
dwindling is the result Of poor winter
management.
Have the entrance to the hives and
the vicinity around them clean and
convenient for the bees to get out and
in readily.
The life Of bees during the working
season is very short, and It requires .
good laying queen to keep up the force
Of bees in the hive.
The proper time to transfer bees from
box hives to movable frames Is early in
the spring. before the comb becomes
heavy with brood and honey.
Hives should be located in good sea-
son in whatever particular location
they are expected to occupy in resdi-
ness to receive the swarms a. they
come OF.
II any colonies are found too weak
In the spring TO take care Of frame Of
brood give them bees from the strongest
colonies. but be careful not to give them
tho queen.
When the weather gets warm enough
for the bees to fly without becoming
chilled give them finely ground corn
meal, wheat or the finer parts Of sifted
ground oats.
Tho secret Of large honey crops 10
strong colonies and plenty Of room for
the bees to store honey. Give each
frame In the hive exactly one and
q half inches Of space.
Do not open the hives. TO excite the
bees when II 10 too cold for them to ny.
The best time TO remove surplus for
brood frames IL after two or three days
Of good honey weather.
DO not open the hives to excite the
bees when Il II too cold for them TO

The total fire loss in the United Ststes
and Canada for the last three years is
stated as follows: Sl20, 0,s39, 200 in 1895;
Sll5,G5, 800 in 1896, and s1O,3l9,65O in
1897. The two principal reasons for the
gradua. decrease are: First, the prog
ress that has been made in the con-
s:ruction of buildings capable OF with
sanding the fire fsnd; and second, the
greater efficiency and better equipment
of fire departments in many of the
towns and cities.

There was lately discussion, speak
ing of grammatical matters, in one Of
the private schools OF Washington, re-
ports the Post of that city, between the
principal and one of the teachers over
a sentence in short story written by O
pupil. What the story is about is
neither here nor there, but the sentence
in question Is: "How came she to come
to Washington?" That is the way the
pupil wrote 1t before submitting the
story as an exercise in composition to
the teacher. The teacher changed 1t to
How came her to come to Washing.
ton ?"Snaintaining that the infinitive re-
quires q subject in the accusative. The
pupil rebelled and appealed to the prin.
cipsl, who sustained the appeal. Both
principal and teacher are consulting
every possible authority on the sub
ject, but just at present the question
seems unlikely to be answered to every.
body's satisfaction.

markable murderer now in the state
prison ut Fort Scott, Kan. Finch was
under sentence of death for the killing
Of a young man some time ago, but
managed TO escape from prison and suo-
cessfully eluded pursuit. He reached
Lamont, Mo-, 100 miles away, and his
pursuers had not the least idea a. to
where be was, when he called up the
state prison authorities by long-dis-
tance telephone and notified them that
he would be there on the evening train
to surrender himself and help mend
the prison bars he had broken. And,
true to his word, when the evening train
arrived he stepped of and gave himself
up to the waiting officers.

Our venerable fellow townsman,
loses FiAcld. IL married again. and he
Las broken the record by becoming .
groom four times in his life, and three
times within the past 7six years, his
last marriage having taken place the
other night, reports the. Brookneld
(Mo.) Argus. There is quite n history
connected with Mr.. Fifeld's matri-
monial experiences. His first wife died
in Brookfield some seven years ago,
from paralysis. Six years ago he took
the second Mrs. Fifield, who fell ont Of
a cherry tree, from,the effects of which
she died. About two years ago he
married'the third Mrs. Fifield, who last
November met with runaway acci-
dent and was instantly killed. But -
Mr.. Fifield growsolder, now being past
80, his heart, with the approach Of early
springtime, seems to grow younger.
And now he has walked under the mis-
tletoe again and taken to his heart an
other love, and the Argus joins his
other many Brookfield friends in con-
gratulations for u long and happy
union down through the fourth degree.
