tablespoonful of carbolic acid. mixing.

Ths DEADLY Tree.

The general public and the heads of
electric light companies openly dis
agree as to the effect of live wires on
living things. but the story below,
found in the New Orleans Times-Dem-
ocrat, may amusc some people not of
the householding or electric stoclihold-
ing class.
Not long ago a prominent citizen of
New Orleans went raging int the cleo
trio light %company's office. and declared
that one of their wires had killed a pet
tree or his premises.
"That tree" said he. has been
standing there for twenty years, and
we regarded it as one of the family.
My children played under it when they
| were babies, and it is associated with
some of the plcasantest memories of
my life. When it began to die we all
mourned, and we could not imagine
what allied it until yesterday, when l
noticed that n Wire was lying right
across a branch. My poor tree has been
clcctrocuted. and l feel as il murder
had been done in my house."
Considerably moved, the agent of the
company vent to view the scene of the
tragedy, and found the tree still alive,
but feeble. When he came to trace the
wire, he discovered one end nailed to
the roof of an old barn and the other
twisted around q discarded pole. 1t
had been cut off for at least two years,
and forgotten. But the occasion de-
mandsd something, so he made the fol-
lowing report:
"Tree alive, wire dead. Wire evil

WARS o BEES
California Honey the Finest that IL
Produced Anywhere.

Ibid you eve know that bees have
wars among themselves, just as men
dog" said G. w. Reynolds. of Los An.
geles, Cal, to the Kansas City Star
man. well, they do. l own a big honey
farm near San Diego, and l have made
o study of the habits and methods OF
the little workers, and in doing so I
have come to believe that each hive OF
bees has its guards or policemen.
whose sole duty it is to keep watch and
warn the hive if another and stronger
hive comes to rob them. This often
happens, you know. a strong hive
raids q weaker one, and, aside from
killing hundreds Of the bees, steals all
the honey. But IL the weaker hive is
warned in time by its policemen it will
prepare to fight, and often the stronger
hive is driven back"
Mr.. Reynolds has a reputation for
being n of the Oldest travelling sales
men in the United States-he is IS
years old. though he doesn't look a day
more than 55, and has been on the road
tifty-two years. He owns some of the
most productive honey farms in Cali
fornia. and he knows many curious
things about bees and their habits.
II have 600 stands on my farm" said
he, land the annual production of hon
ey is about sixty tons. There are about
10000 bees to each stand, so you see
the population of my bee city is great
cr than that of any city of men and
women in the world. And, unlike any
other city, its population is changed en-
tirely every forty-five days. or almost
entirely so, for n working bee only
lives that long. and the queen bees are
the only ones that reach n greater age.
They live u year or more.
california honey is about the finest
that is produced anywhere. The wild
sage is the flower most hunted by the
little workers, and during April, May,
June and July they make most of the
honey. On the market this honey brings
from 4 to Z cents n pound Wholesale.
SO you see there is a pretty good profit
n it,"
