That bees are weather prophets few
who are accustomed to their habits can
doubt They seem to know long time
10 advonce whether the winter is to be
mild or severe. While the old straw
hives with two openings were used, the
bees stopped up these entrances early in
October whenever severe winter was
approaching, leaving room only for a
minute passage of air Beekeepcrs of
all countries agree that where the bees
do little or nothing to preserve them
selves from the cold the years have been
marked by relatively mild winters.

Winter work cannot always be done
to suit the convenience of the farmer, as
severely cold weather, continued rains
and other obstacles are to be met, but
there is much work put off until spring
that could be done in winter. In the
spring, as soon as blowing and planting
must be performed dozens of jobs come
up to be done in hurry, and all seem
to need attention at once. 1t is then
that the farmer finds that he has been
neglectful and failed to prepare for
spring. Wagons are to iron, repairs
are required for implements, seed is to
be procured and fertilizer must be pur.
chased At the same time every other
farmer is busy and can render no assist
ance, while merchants who have many
orders on hand cannot supply the need
ed articles promptly. The way to make
the spring operations easier and save
time is to do as much now to Tighten
the spring work as possible.

Sheep are considered valuable agents
in enriching land They scatter their
droppings uniformly and press them
iuto the soil. By keeping the grass
close they thicken it, and they destroy
weeds because they have a fondness for
certain kinds hat no other animals on

ART OF REMEMBERING.
The Mind Is Like II Great Library. Each
Volume IN Its Place.

The Mind Is Like II Great Library. Each
Volume In Its Place.
A noted medical writer likens the
brain to vast library and each idea, or
name, or incident, to the volumes com
posing it, says the New York CONNER
clal Advertiser. The memory, he saws,
acts as librarian and tucks away each
volume in some peculiar niche of its
own. Now, when we call Oh Librarian
Memory for one of these volumes. he
usually knows where it is aud hands it
to us instanter; but occasionally he,
like other ofliceholders, forgets his du
ties We call on him suddenly, waking
him from his nap, perhaps, and he can
not remember where he put the name
OF Smith or Jones, or the little fact re-
garding the tariff or Agamemnon's
wives or something or other. Some
times he finds it after moments
search, and sometimes not for days.
But he keeps up still-hunt for the
missing volume, even while You forget
all about it; and some time when YOU
are least expecting it, presto. there is
the very thing you are trying to re-
member.
For instance, somebody asked the
writer OF this paragraph the other day
suddenly for the name of a lady and
her daughter staying at one of the
beaches near Boston. The name was
a perfectly familiar one, being that of
an acquaintance; but with the question
it suddenly vanished. 1t was impcssi.
bic to answer. Librarian Memory
was asked for it three or four times
during the evening. but it eluded his
efforts completely and for day or two
the event was forgotten. Finally, COM
ing down town on the electric car, with
the mind absorbed in other things, the
little librarian joggled our elbow.
Here he is. Smithson, volume Al 1923,
shelf 217,' he whispered. AS usual,
when one ceases to want the thing it
turns up. All, If one could only change
Librarians when the old one shows SIGN,

A very curious observation OF the
effects produced by meteor seen at
sea is made public through the hydro
gr; phic bur, ua in Washington. Capt
Rcdman. of tic british steamship Ne
rano. when 4 lt;ic more than two hun
dred miles southeast Of Cape Clear dur
ing recent voyage from baltimore to
Havrc, SAW u meteor which appeared to
pass close to his ship.
An observation of the north star
taken soon after the appearance OF the
meteor showed a surprising result. The
direction of the ships compass needle
had been changed no less than eleven
degrees! Before the meteor passed the
needle had pointed about degrees 80
minutes west Of true north, but now It
pointed s degrees 80 minutes east Of
north.
That the meteor had caused the
change was indicated by the fact that
within twenty-four hours the needle
returned to it's former position, moving
slowly back about eleven degrees
toward the west.
Equally great effects have been pro-
duced upon ships colnpasscs by light
ming, but in such cases the bolts have
actually struck the ship. The meteor
seen by Capt. Redlnun did not touch his
ship, and while he makes no estimate
Of it's actual distance it was probably
considerable, since there is no report Of
Its having been observed to fall into
the sea.

ORIGIN OF TICKET sCALPlNu.


Started In wheel .n%, W. Va. a Quarter OF
Century Ago.
Campbell Hubbard, nail traveller, Of
Wheeling, recently said to a Globe
Democrat man: Il have Just been
reading the decision of Judge Nash, at
Dallas, in the ticket broker case under
he new Texas law, intended to do
away with the scalpers' business. 1t
strikes me rs being an exceedingly
clear and a forceful exposition of the
subject matter involved in the Traxler
prosecution. 1t is closely in line with
decisions in favor of the scalpers i'll
Minnesota, Illinois and Pennsylvania.
The gravamen of these decisions is that
an unused railway ticket, or an unused
portion Of ticket, is legitimate prop.
erty, and any law which interferes with
its disposition by sale is contrary to
public policy, if not in direct conflict
with the constitution of the United
States. This decision of Judge Nash
will help the scalpers, not only down
in Texas, but all over the country.
The extent to which the ticket brokers
help the weak roads against the strong
ones is but little realized, and without
their aid many of the lines would go
under. 1t is their method of cutting
rates secretly to stimulate business,
and the brokers are really regular
agents of these companies. BY the bye.
perhaps you don't know that the scalper
business originated in my town.
Wheeling. 1t was about twenty-five
years ago. We had couple of bright
young fellows there-Upton w. Dorsey
and another chap named Frank. They
took a notion to speculate on a small
scale in tickets of the Baltimore 4
Ohio. and the first scalping transaction
that ever occurred in the history OF
railroading took place there in Wheel
ing. The Baltimore & Ohio company
made big fight upon it, and the case
went to the supreme court of the
United States. The result was that the
supreme court handed down its famous
decision to the effect that when mar
buys ticket for SO many miles Of
transportation he is entitled to travel
those miles. regardless of the limi.
dates stamped upon the ticket by the
company's agents. From that time or
the scalper's business flourishcd, and
spread with amazing rapidity all over
the country. 1t is now as safe and as
legitimate a line of business as banking
or insurance or manufacturing. and is,
moreover,a mighty help to the travel
ing public"

A MALE MAlAPROP,
An Engliah Sexton Who Loved to Ues
Long Words.

Long Words.
Twenty years ago, one Of the sights"
which amused visitors to st. Georges
chapel, Windsor, England, was Wise,
the sexton. He was Mr.. Malaprop,
with an affection for long words whose
forms were changed, and high-sound-
ing phrases, which he invariably mis-
placed, says London Tit Bits. Sir
George j. Elvey, the organist of the
chapel, relates several of these mala-
propisms in his Life and Reminis-
cences." One day Clergyman, hurry.
ing into the nave of st. Georges Just
before afternoon service, remarked that
he had walked all the way from Bish.
opgate in less than an hour. "Well,"
replied Wise, you must he a good

er: Look at the dean a-propogating

ated Qllustratcd) News" Wise got it
into his head that the chapel belonged
to him, and that no one had a right to
see it without paying him fee. 1T
doesn't matter" said he on one occa-
sion, "who it is. Nobody-not even
Mr.. Dean himself-can't go in the
chapel without first insulting (con-
sulting) me-" So far did he carry out
his idea of ownership that at last it was
ordered by the authorities that no fees
should be given for seeing the chapel.
