SOME FACTS ABOUT HONEY.
Interesting raragrap ~ in Regard Its Pro-
ductipn md Use.


Honey is the only sweet that may
be eaten IL any quantities and for a
long time without Interfering with the
action of any of the vital organs. Its
food value is twice that of pork. pound
for pound. and it has been noticed that
persistent honey eaters are not nearly
so liable to disease of the respiratory
organs as those WAo do not use it at
al.
1t is calculated that the entire honey
product of sixty bees during their en-
tire working life will not amount to
more than one pound of honey. an
amount that Il man with a good APP
petite would eat in day without
thinking much about it.
BeesWaX is almost entirely indigest-
ible, and while it does no harm when
swallowed, never enters into the food
value of the honey it contains.
The expert can almost tell from tast-
ing honey the place whore is is made.
The honey from the Northern States
Is more delicately favored than that
of the Southern States. and California
money tastes rank to an Eastern honey
eater, on account Of its high flavor.
The honey of Cuba is dark and In
sipid to the Northern taste and it is
hardly possible to sell it for private
consumption. Cuban honey is in favor
with bakers, as it has the quality of
not losing its flavor when subjected to
high heat. as in baking. This makes
it prefera bic for their use.
Extracted honey that has candicd
should be liquefied by subjecting it to
very low heat otbsrv-iSn thn I-oI,tiIo

might never have married, or migrated
to the American colonies, and thus the
world world never have known of
George Washington as the father of Our
country. SO it is in the daily lie OF
everyone, little things" occur which az
feet the future Mr.. c. X. Goeway,
night baggagcmaster on the Old Col
ony road. Fitchburg, Mass. knows well
how fortune smiles at times on the al
ilicted, in showing how relief is near at
hand. His experience and advice is
given in the following words. He says:
For twenty years | suffered a great
deal with weak kidneys. and the train
OF consequences which always follow
when these organs are either overcxcit-
cd or disturbed When the attacks were
at their height the secretions from the
kidneys were too frequent. and caused
considerable annoyance During the
period mentioned | used different RENE

sionally from some OF them. but IT'D

that electric ground connections, made
by attaching wires to water pipes, not
only ruin the pipes by e~lectrolysis, but
seriously interfere with the operation
OF the water meters. In one case a
meter through which a large quantity
of water was discharged failed to reg
lister. This was an extreme case and
easily detected, but what the effect has
been upon the indicators in cases
where the current is not so strong the

means to determine. To protect them
selves, however, they have ordered the
removal of all electric wires from the
