EIectricitv in Hives.

What has been called the pleasant occupation of hiving bees" has been made even more pleasant by an elec- trio invention which obviates the neees- sity of keeping watch on the hives at swarming time.
 The basis of the apparatus is the con- version of the wing motion of the swarm into power. As the bees swaffh out they cause two small, easy swing ing doors to open outward. A little hammer, which rests upon these doors when closed and is connected with 8 battery, drops, as the doors swing open, upon a small metal leaf, and the elec- trica1 connection thus effected rings a bell in the bee growers house.

Louis Vain, the famous cat painter, professes to believe that a car owned by woman is the mirror Of it's mis- tress's temperament, He says that if q cat that has been constantly with it's mistress is suddenly removed from her society the creature will show the characteristics madam has displayed. If she.h been snappish, pussy will scratch; if she has been suiky, pussy 1t would pay a prosective husband to steal the cat of his lady love before taking the fatal matrimonial step As the cat is about the most independent creature aIlve, one cant beip being skeptical Of MT.

TURKISH PEASANT WISDOM
Curious Proverbs 1hat Embody Moham-
 fnedap Phi1oaophy.

The Turkish peasants in their own country have plenty of homely wit. Thus they says
 ''For tha team ox there is no knife" meaning that the poor. hard-working peasant is too poor to be persecuted.
 The profound and submissive piety of the Turk shows in such sayings as eft may be six or it may be seven, but it will be what number Allah ordains." and again, "When Allah gives he doth not ask whose son thou art. Of like character is the saying, "The head that bends is never cut off,
 Of course the poor, beaten donkey is the hero, of a whole list of proverbs. '"The donkey is 1ittle," it Is said, yet he leads eamels." "They invited the donkey to a wedding" says another maxim, land he said, Is it wood or water than is wanted
 Of religious proverbs Koranic litera~ ture is as full as Christian. Do what is kind and good" says one, "and cast it into the sea; if the fish do not recog- nize it the Creator will.
 Worldly prudence, however, inspires such maxims as these: "The wound by the hand heals; the wound by the tongue is incurable;" Out of the tripe sellers ca1dron cometh no silk bro- cade;" Don't always expect the pep pery part of the stew" "They who ham, dle money will lick their fingers which is more true of Turkey than of other places, probably "The father gave vineyard to the son, but the son never gave a bunch of grapes to the father" is a sermon of ingratitude Short, ptthy proverbs are; "A man should only listen with one of his ears, :" and there is no friend to a man like his mother"

An old man-of-war's man took a seat in a passenger car one day, attracting considerable attention by his dress and manner. An indiscreet neighbor ven- tured the question, Tn the navy, eh?"
 The sailor nodded affirmatively.
 Well" went on the other man, 'T am not exactly in the navy myself; I am contractor-that is, I furnish cheese to the navy"
 "Oh, you are, are yep said the sailor You are just the chap I've been look ing for" and accordingly he knocked the aspirant for naval honors over the car seat, and added as he looked around, "now show me the son-of-a- gun that furnishes the butter"

Detection of the Rogues.

The executors of the law in Europe have been swift to seize upon discover ies in science to help them to run down criminals. curious use was recently made of the microscope in Prussia. A barrel of specie sent from the frontier to Berlin was robbed and filled with sand. This was supposed to have been done on the way to Berlin. The eminent chemist, Prof Ehrenbargh, obtained samples of all the sand near the sta tions through which the barrel passed, and, by means of the bloWpipe and mi croscope, found sand of the station at which it had been emptied and filled. The thief was afterward discovered and arrested.
 In France noted rogues are not only photographed but weighed and meas ured carefully, and forced to speak and sing into a photographic instrument before their discharge from prison, that they may be identified afterward in attempted crime.
 It has also been noted for the identi- f1eation of criminals that one part of the human body which is never dupli- cated in man or woman is the markings on the skin of the thumb. The face and figure may be altered at will, but the lines on the thumb-never! For the detection of criminals an impress sion of the thumb is stamped upon pa- per.

THE SWEEPING SEASON.
Some Valuable Hints For warding oa
 n Cold.

n Cold.
 4 cold, as nearly every intelligent person knows, is the result of a stop page somewhere of free circulation of blood, to which one is first sensitive through feeling of chill.
 So slight is the chill oftentimes that not until the preliminary sneeze comes is the victim aware he or she has beep in the track of a draught, or Shat tho temperature has changed.
 The usual notion is that by going ip- doors, changing to heavier clothing 6f retreating from the moist atmosphere the danger is averted. These precad- tions are all we'll enough but the first and most efficacious measure should be to restore the quick flow of warm blood through every vein, and so by heat in stantly counteract the little chill.
 One, perhaps the simplest method of doing this, has been learned by men who stand on sentinel duty, who are obliged to suffer more or less expospfe in winter, or who scorn the comforts of cold weather, of overeeat and un- brella.
 Their method when the temperature of the body or extremities is lowered, or a sudden chill or quick change from warm to cold atmosphere is endured, is to inhale three or four deep breaths, expand the lungs to their fullest extent, holding every time the inhaled air as long as possible and then slowly letting it forth through the nostrils.
 In doing this the imitation of the lungs sets the heart into such quick motion that the blood is driven with unusual force along it's channels and so runs out into the tiniest veins.
 This radiates a glow down to the toes and finger tips and sets up a quick reaction against the chill. The whole effect is to stir the blood and set it in motion as from rapid exercise.
