With this advice DR.. Miller presents
the following information In The Ma
tionul Stockman about cases:
Shipping cases for honey ARE made
that are especially adapted to the pnr-
pose. Not only are they convenient in
shape and size for packing and ship
ping, Int they show off the honey to
good advantage when placed on tho
counter Of the grocer by means Of tho
glass on one side that allows the snow
white comb to be seen without allowing
the flies to light upon it or the fingers
of meddlesome urchins to be punched
into it.
Two kinds of shipping cases are shown
in the illustration. The upper one holds
II of the 40 called one pound sections,
two sections being seen through the
glass. The lower case contains ~ sec

Bees and Butterflies,

Both bees and butterflies have four
wings. but in bee these are small and
transparent, while n butterfly has them
large and delicately colored. Then the
bee let's MS know it Is at the flower by
the hum 1t makes usually (there are a
few quiet species Of bees. howevcr).
and the butterfly. whether 1t be large
or small. comes and goes silently.
Again. a butterfly only sips honey to
refresh itself but the bee frequently

ly every kind of bee Is armed with a
sting and has sharp cutting jaws too.
Some people have an idea that the com
mon humble or humble bee. known by
its belted body and noisy enough to be
heard some distance off. has no sting
1t is true. as compared with many bees.
this one is peaceable. Still there are
times when bumblebees are irritable.
and then they will prove TO any doubter
If handled roughly that the sting is not

Eyes are popularly considered to he

error, II We are to believe DR.. Nagel a

creatures without eyes can see; Mt least
they can distinguish perfectly well be-

tween different degrees Of light. This "a

The product of maple sugar In the
United states Is usually between $780,.
900 and 100000 pounds annually, Of
which Vermont produces nearly two
thirds Of the total. This year the yield
Of sugar In that State was less than
one.fourth the usual product. and 1t 10
doubtful II the state gains In many
years her lost prestige. The cause Of
the failure Of the sugar orchards" this
year was that last season the trees
were denuded OF their leaves by the
ravages Of insects. and when they weres
tapped In the spring there was no flow
Of sap. Many Of the trees were killed
by the loss Of their foliage. and In some
sections this loss Ii nearly total. In
discussing this condition Of things the.
State papers attribute the rapid In
crease Of perniciOus insects to the wan
ton destruction Of the birds In the
State. as these natural protectors Of
the trees have been killed of by men
and boys who take wanton delight
In the extinction Of animal life to
which they apply the name Of sporting.

ers Of Vermont something like $4S7 800,

THE CASE LAW.

The failure of the Legislature to re-
peal the Case punishment act Ia dis
grace to that body only less deep than
the failure to repeal the Allen law
would have been. There has been a
sort Of vicarious atOnement for the
father Of the Allen law. The law II
dead and perhaps destined to be for
gotten. But the Case act Is still on
the statute books, still menacing the
unfortunate with Its needlessly harsh
provisions, and still testifylng to the
heartless Indifference Of the men who
might have repealed It and did not.
This IL the law under which an ext
gent creditor could reduce the family
Of a debtor to the hardship Of having
to live on u stipend Of eight dollars q
week. That IL not only not enough to
support family upon; It Is In many
cases not enough to enable debtor to
retain his position. In n great many
fields Of employment tenure depends
upon the maintenance Of certain
standard Of personal appearance i'm.
possible to support In addition to a
family on eight dollars week. The
law that would reduce the exemption
of the head OF a family to such a sum
would In many cases deprive him of
the power to earn that sum very long.
1t Is n hard law. a sort Of eye.for.an-
eye law, and known as such by thou.
sands Of the people of this State. Sen.
ator Odell, Joliet editor, recognized
the demand for Its repeal and intro
duced a bill repeating it and reviving
the former statute, but the only effect
II had was to cause Senator Case to
produce bill repeating garnishment
altogether, q bin just as unfair to cred
itors as his law Is now to debtors, and
to make a few smooth promises to
working people that he would see that
the new Case bin took the place of the
old. This buried Mr.. Odelrs "repeal.
CT" and 1t IL stlll buried.
1t was an act Of treachery. The peo-
pie were made to believe the Case law
was about to be repealed, whereas 1t
was never in any serious danger, but
was being guarded and protected by
methods that would do credit to man
who lived by playing tricks with cards.
Something might have been done to
secure relief in the closing days of the
session, but the philanthrOpists from
Chicago We're busy with their great
project for doing something to the gov
eminent Of Cook County.
Senator Case Is welcome to all the
credit he can get from the law that
bears his name. Next time he runs for
office In the Second District his con-
stltuents should have a full under
standing Of what his past services have
been.

Mr.. KERFOOT AN OLD CHiCAoOAN.

william d. KerfOOt, the real estate
dealer whom Mayor Harrison has
chosen for City Comptroller, entered
upon his new duties Tuesday morn
Ing. Monday night ut his home, 127
Aston street, around the corner from
the Mayors residence In Schiller
street, Mr.. KerfoOt received the con-
gratulatiOns of ncighbOrs and friends
and talked of his office. He said:
THE comptrollership Is the first pub.
lie office have held, ana 1t will be the
last The manner of its tender did not
leave me free to refuse. do not think
can give the people of Chicago more
satisfactory outline of policy than to
say 1t will be my endeavOr In every re-
spect TO emulate the course of Mr..
Waller. There will be no changes
whatever in the personnel of the Of
flee staff. am anxious that Mr., Hal
scy shall continue as deputy comp
trOller, though he has expressed de-
sire to retire. If he does shall ap-
point TO the position n man of the high
est standing in the Chicago business
world. He has already been selected,
contingent on Mr.. Halscy's with
drawal."
Mr.. Kerfoot was horn in Lancaster,
Pa, in 1897, and has lived in Chicago
continuously since 1854. For nearly
forty years he has been closely identi-
fled with the real estate interests of
the city. His home at Superior and
Rush streets was destroyed in the big
fire, as well as his business establish
ment. While the bricks of the ruins
We're still hot the firm OF W. ID. Ker-
foot & Co. established itself in n frame
shanty at Washington and Dearborn
streets, prepared to be one Of the first
to participate In the rebuilding of the
devastated city. A sign in front of the
office read: "All gone, but wife, chill
dren and energy" In the early days
of his business career Mr.. KerfOOt's
partner was s. j. Walker. In 1867
George BirkhOff, Jr., with whom he Is
now associated, entered the firm. Mr..
KcrfOOt was one of the charter men,
bers of the Chicago Real Estate Board
and has served II as President. He
was director In the National Bank Of
