Bicentennry of the Sweet Pea.

The sweet pea is said to have an in
ternational biceutenary celebration
this year 1t was introduced into Brit
ish gardens from its home in eastern
Europe just 200 years ago. The fine
blooms and extensive range of color
ings which are now obtained are, how
ever, of comparatively recent date
having been produced during the last
quarter of a century or so by the efforts
of growers like the Shropshire firm of
Eckford and the American firm of
Burpee. The arrangements for the
bicentenary include an exhibition in
London next July, with prizes for
punches, collections and decorative eff
fects. conference of expert growers
and perhaps banquet.

SPARROW KILLING.
1t IL Made Profitable Business in
One Section of the State
of Illinois.

There is apparently no limit to the
industries of the westernland. A
unique pursuit is that which obtains
in its greatest glory in Illinois. Near
Nilwood, a small station north of Car
linville, the ''sparrowist" operates with
an enthusiasm entirely worthy of the
dollars his occupation brings him.
The "sparrowist," be it understood,
says the New York Herald, is any per-
son of uncertain or uncertain age who
by hook, crook or any other way may
do to death one or more of the COM
mon or garden sparrows which are
personae non gratae in the Nilwood
neighborhood. Sometimes the spar
rowist" sprinllles lime in the places
where the little birds are wont to con-
gregate. Sometimes he lays traps and
snares. Sometimes he takes his trusty
shotgun in hand and lets go at the
most promisingly numerous flock of
what the county regards as pests.
Every time sparrow comes his way it
means two cents to the slayer. Such is
the bounty.
You wouldn't think that man could
get riotously rich off sparrow killing,
would you? Well, he doesn't. But
sometimes he takes more money out
of the county treasury than the fund
custodian likes to see go for this pur-
pose. So it was recently, when the
county clerk was confronted with
sparrow orders calling for the pay
ment of $500 of the good legal tender
of the land. The county clerk gasped
awhile He'd never heard of a Nil
wood bird bill of that extent, and he'd
been around some himself, but there
was the 80. K" of the town clerk
And the "sparrowists" were paid. The
investigation which followed resulted
in the arrest of the town clerk, and
it is believed that the bills won't be
so .heavy in the future. The county
authorities say they are heartily in
favor of the determination, but when
it comes to claim of killing off 49,
900 within comparatively limited
time they get their doubling caps on.
Meanwhile, the vicinity of Nilwood,
ILL.,, is highly unfavorable to the
health OF the sparrow tribe.

BEES. IN 4 BATHROOM.
A Baltimore Family Supplied with
Honey by \ Big Working
Colony.

Honey bees of different times and
countries have chosen many peculiar
locations for their homes. but none
have shown themselves more domestic
in their choice than colony in north
west Baltimore, which has invaded a
dwelling house, and cannot be induced
to 60 elsewhere. This colony, which
has thousands of members, has pre-,
empted for its own use part of the
dwelling 1915 Harlem avenue, occupied
by Mr. E. j Goldman, says the BaIti-
more American.
When that gentleman moved into the
house, several years ago, he noticed
that large number of bees collected
aroundl the windows of the bathroom,
on the second floor, and, on observing
them closely, he saw that they came out
and went INTO the opening in the house
wall through which the pipe from the
bathtub ran. He concluded that there
was a hive somewhere in the vicinity
of the bathroom, and on cutting out a
small section OF the flooring he found
in the vacant space under the floor, and
between the joists, on which the floor
ing reste,1, what seemed to him mil
lion bees, with large amount of honey.
Tubs and large pans were brought
into requisition to hold the honey. The
honey combs stood at right angles to
the joists. They were an inch in thick
ness and abou. ten inches square. The
squares of honeycomb set on edge side
by side, completely filled the space be-
tween the beams. To take them it was
only necessary to dctach them at each
side from the beam and lift them out.
The members of the family had all the
honey they wanted and it was freely
distributed to l cighbors and friends.
The ''rohbine" took place in the fall
A small amount was left for the bees
to subsist upo',. Mr.. Goldman thought,
it would he better to transfer the bees
to hive and take them out of the
house. There We're some disadvantages
connected with their presence in the
bathroom now, especially since the hole
had been bored in the floor to get at
them. The children could enter the
room and take the bees up from their
place by the double handful, and
smooth them along their laps with
their hands, but the workers of the
colony were opposed to certain menu
bers of the family, and stung them
whenever they got chance. That was
why Mr.. Goldman desired to put them
in a hive in the yard.
The hive was prepared, and an effort
was made to induce the bees to enter it,
but the effort was not success. 1t
brought about a schisfl in he colony,
however, and nearly all the bees went
away. During the blizzard last Febru-
airy the colony that remained beneath
the bathroom persisted, and Mr.. God
man thought he had gotten rid of the
bees.
About a year after the exodus of the
bees swarm that seemed larger than
the one that had gone away returned to
the Harlem avenue house and reoccu-
pied their old quarters. While enter
ing through tie aperture in the wall
the beees swalmed about the waste
pipe, and formed bundle about as
large as q half-bushel basket. They
have remained there ever since, supply
ing the family with honey at intervals.
