Dangers of Laughter.

It is surprising to learn from the
highest medical authority in England
that laughter may be injurious.
Laughter in itself, says the British
Medical Journal, cannot very we'll kill,
but it may do harm. Hysterical girls
and boys with kindred nervous affeo.
tions are often given to immoderate
laughter, which tends to increase nerv.
Gus exhaustion.
DR.. Feilchenfeld relates an instruo.
tive case in which little girl suffered
from very definite cardiac symptoms
after immoderate laughter. The patient
was ID years old and had previously
been free from any sign of heart dis
ease. After laughing on and off for
nearly an hour with some companions
she suddenly felt stabbing pains in the
chest and was seized with fits of cough.

the cardiac disease directly resulted
from immoderate laughing.

Irritating Alfalfa.

"To get the best results from alfalfa
pasture here in the Arkansas valley 10
should be irrigated often to keep it
green and fresh, as the hogs like it
much better and grow faster if the pas
ture is fresh all the time. When the
irrigating is being done, the hogs should
not be allowed ON the alfalfa, as the
water softens the ground; the hogs work
up the mud and get it mixed with the
green growth, causing much damage to
the pasture. We should have two or
three pastures, so that while one is be-
ing watered the hogs can be removed
to another. have heard much said
about raising good hogs on alfalfa

bit of experience to realize this. Some
times it happens after fruit bloom is
over and just before clover gets to
yielding the white remains of young
bees will be seen lying in front of the
hives, dragged there by the bees. That
means that the point of starvation is
reached, there is not enough food for
both young and old, the queen has stop
ped laying and the juices are sucked
out of the young bees to keep alive the
older ones. And the slaughtered inno-
cents are just the ones that are needed
to help store the approaching harvest.
By all means they should be saved,
even if several prices must be paid for
honey to feed them. So be constantly
on the lookout against starvation. The
only way to feel sure about the matter
is to look and see that each colony has
an extra supply, and then, when you
think they haven't yet had time to use
the half of it, to look again.
Suppose stores are lacking, what shall
be fed? There's probably nothing better
in all the world than good comb Of
honey. And he is wise beekeeper who
has on hand some extra combs filled
solid full of sealed honey. In too many
cases it will happen that no combs Of
honey can be had. The next best thing
is to feed granulated sugar That's bet
ter than any other kind of sugar, and
in the long run perhaps the cheapest.
How shall it be fed? There are good
many ways some of which may be CIV
en- at another time, but for the present
it may be sufficient to mention one Of
the feeders most suited for feeding Ell
Their large or small quantities, but es-
peoially for the rapid feeding of large
quantities.
The Miller feeder is shown in the ac-
companying illustration. You can make
one yourself if you are something of a
mechanic. In the picture one end is cut
away so you can see the mechanism. In
the center is a place where the bees can
get up. Then, when they get up, they
can go down on either side into the
feed. If they could get right into the
full dish of feed, they'd drown by the
Wholesale. But in this case there's on
ly narrow place where they can go.
so that they can promptly climb up Ell
ther side if they do fall in, for the
partition board that goes down into the
box in each side goes so near the bot
tom that no bee can get through; only
the feed can leak through. The large
open space that you see on each side in
the picture will hold the feed, but no
bee will ever get into it unless it flies
In from the outside when you have the
cover off.

A LAKE PILOTS LEG.

How IL Solved the Mystery of the
Wreck of n Steam Propeller.
eve are never amazed when vessels
90 aground and are wrecked on Lake
Erie during the gales that are common
on that treacherous water, for we ex-
poet such things then," said lake
skipper, "but when one is grounded on
q clear day and wrecked OH a course as
clear as the day in the hands of pilot
that knows the ground like book we
naturally wonder little and want to
know the why's and wherefores. Such
was the case of the propeller Susan e.
Peck that went aground near Bar point
and was lost with a $40, 900 cargo.
"The captain of the Susan e. had
sailed successfully hundreds of times
between Point Pelee and Bar point and
in all kinds of weather, and this time
he had q wheelman who was known
from one end of the lake to the other as
one of the most expert navigators In
the lake business. He had been lying
up long time, for the very good reason
that owing to an accident to one Of his
legs that leg had to be amputated to
save his life. The lost member was re-
placed by an artificial leg, and then the
pilot was ready to take his post at the
wheel again. His first service after his
misfortune was this trip of the Susan
e. Peck, and he ran her aground.
"The puzzle to everybody was how
It was possible for the propeller, ham
died by man of such skill and expert
ence, on O straight course only 40 miles
long and with every sailing condition
favorable, to leave her course. The pilot
was the most puzzled and astounded
person of all. He soon got another ves-
sci, and this one he ran in such an err
ratio manner, but fortunately with no
disastrous result, that he was compelled
to give her up, and his usefulness as a
pilot was gone. He and others went to
investigating to see if they could dis
cover what was wrong with his sea-
manship.
"After awhile they discovered what
they believed was the trouble. In the
pilots artificial leg great deal of steel
had been used in the joints and other
places. Sitting close to the pinnacle, as
he did while steering, this steel derang-
ed the compass so that it threw the
wheelman way off his reckoning and
led to the wrong plotting that had
wrecked the Susan E. Peck and endan
gered the other vessel that the wheel
man navigated subsequently. This was
what they argued, and to demonstrate
the correctness of the theory the pilot
took charge of vessel without wear
ing his false leg. Everything worked to
a charm. The mystery of the Susan E.
Peck was solved, and the pilot was re-
stored to his old place in the confidence
of Lake Erie shippers and vessel own
ers. New York Sun.

FEEDING THE BEES.

How tn Make Good Feeders That May

A good beekeeper will try to manage
matters so there will be no need of his
feeding his bees. But sometimes 1t hap
pens that he cannot help himself. He
must feed the bees or they will starve.
A season may be 80 poor that not only
will the bees yield 20 surplus, but they
will not gather enough stores to keep
them over winter. Some people say,
eff the bees cannot get their own liv-
ing, let them starve." This is not the
policy of that very practical beeman
