A Danger to Bees in the Orchard.
The editor of GleaningS thinks there
IS danger Of bees being poisoned by
spraying fruit trees with an arsenical
poison even after the bloom has fallen.
He tells a correspondent that he has
found dead bees and occasionally a
dead queen. followed by dead or dy-
ing brood after his trees have been
sprayed. He has had similar reports
from other parties, and he ascribes
it to the possibility that the bees, in
their desire to obtain water when
rearing brood. would lick up the IL
,uid from the leaves, IS they do the
dew in the morning, and having car
ried some Of it home have fed it TO
the queen and the young brood. thus
poisoning them. If this is correct
there is but one thing TO be done.
Keep a plentiful supply Of slightly
salted water near the hives, and ac-
custom the bees to going there before
spraying begins. This may not pre-
vent the trouble, but might lessen the
danger.

A HappY Ending.

A boy about 10 years old came into
the Central Police Station of a Kansas
city, leading a fine shepherd dog by a
piece Of rope. The boys face was red
and he was crying. A big policeman
kindly asked what was the matter. 1t
was quite a long time before the boy
could stop crying long enough to re-
ply. "My MOTHER" he sobbed, 'is too
poor to pay for license for Shep, and
brought him here to have you kill
him."
Then he broke out with another wall
as IL his heart was breaking. Shep
stood mute and motionless, looking low
lngly at his young master A police
man blew his nose very lou6/y, the desk
sergeant walked out into the hall, while
the captain remembered that he must
telephone somebody. Then the chief
of police led the boy to the door, and
patting him on the head, said gently:
"There, little fellow, don't cry any
more; run home with your dog. 1
wouldn't kill Shep for thousand COL
lars"
The boy shed tears Of joy now, and
ran of with Shep barking and bound
ing at his side, and 1t was hard to tell
which was the happiest.

Holland, Next to England, the Greatest
Land Owner In the Pacific.
The Pacific ocean, westward of Ha-
wall and the Marquesas, is like fed
Grafton of European nations on Asiatic
soil, united by the free commerce Of
the seas. The nations vary in size,
strength and Importance, as the states
of Europe or of the American Union.
Great Britain commands the field with
a landed area Of nearly 3,250,00O square
miles. Poor Spain's once magnificent
empire Is shrunk to less than fifty
square miles, a smaller total than be-
longs to black King George of the
Tongas. Holland, the country from
which emanated the doughty Beers,
owns over 735, 1000 square miles, settled
with nearly eight times as many people
as inhabit the larger area owned by
Great Britain. Germany, the new civ
ilizer among the nations, has domi-
nance over more than 100000 square
miles and about as many people as
there are miles. France, with less than
one-tenth Of Germany's land, Is at
some of the most important points of
strategy and at the point of greatest
travel. Several Independent states lie
in the midst Of this federation. as Swift
zerland does in Europe; several others
in the unhappy, suZerained position
Of the Transvaal in South Africa.
If all the islands could be put into a
continuous body of land they would
form a most heterogeneous empire.
They would include, in addition to Eu-
ropean peoples with their various polit-
ical and social systems, tangle of alb

MussELs ARE GOOD FOOD.
Their Use in the United States Has
Been Very Much Neglected.

Their Use in the United States Has
Been Very Much Neglected.
"There is one shellfish, the mussel,
the use Of which as an article of food
seems to be totally neglected in the
United States" observed an English
man of several years residence in this
country to Star reporter recently. I'm
fact it is so seldom employed that it
may be said to be practically unknown
on this side of the Atlantic. 1t is rare
ly seen in your markets, and near the
salt water bays and estuaries in which
it is taken it is used, l am told, as
manure for certain crops. This lack
of recognition of mussels as an epicu-
rian delicacy probably arises from the
popular superstition among Americans
that this shellfsh possesses poisonous
qualities. Such an impression is, how
ever, rather absurd, for in England
they are largely consumed by the poor
and middle class people, and if they
contained any injurious properties their
use would be promptly prohibited.
1T is well known that some persons
are unable to eat of particular sorts Of
shell fish-to some oysters, clans or lob
sters are more or less poisonous, but
mussels are only 'noxious' to the great
er number for the reason that they de-
teriorate more rapidly when removed
from the water than any other species.
There are mussel beds within a radius
of ten miles of New York and other east
ern cities of sufficient capacity to sup
ply millions of people with clean and
nutritious article of food; one that
would lessen to large degree the ex-
haustive demands made upon the clam,
oyster and lobster fisheries.
"To prepare mussels for the table
they should be selected of medium size
and care should be observed to wash
them carefully and place them in ves-
sci Of salted water for several hours, so
that they may clean themselves; that
is, discharge the dirt and grit found
within their shells. When this pro-
cess is completed the bivalves should be
placed in water and boiled-or steaming
is better in the vapOr generated by their
own juice. When they are done they
may be easily taken out Of their shells
and are ready to be used in one of the
many forms of which they are suscep-
tible. ."-Washington Star.

COSTLIEST SAUSAGES MADE.

Some Made in France that Only Capi-
talists Can Afford to Eat.
"The costliest Of all sausages," said
a man familiar with the trade, "is Ly-
ons sausages, imported from France.
Lyons sausage sells in Paris at 2 francs
and more pound. Here it is sold at
80 cents to 81 pound. Lyons sausage
is also produced in this country. That
made here is even finer than the import
ed, but sells here, however, for some
what less.
Lyons is rather large sausage. 1t
is put up in the largest size hog castings
and it is made of beef and pork. The
meats used in making it are of the very
best, and they are prepared with the
greatest care. From the beef all the
slnews and veins are removed, and
the meat The beef is chopped very
fine, so fine as to make of 1t practically

back fat of hogs. This is not chopped
fine, as the beef is, but is cut Into lr-

hard smoked.
"The art of sausage-making has SO
improved in this country that now, as
you can say without reservation, the
finest sausages produced in the world
are made in the United States. This Is
true without exception. The Ameri-
can Lyons sausage, for example, is bet
ter than the imported. Some American
Lyons Is exported to France and sold
there, and some of that thus exported
is reimported and sold here as import
ed Lyons.

A muddy river betokens one of the
greatest of national losses. 1t means
that the rich soil, which Jack Frost and
other natural agencies have been ages
in forming, is washing away into the
ocean. I1llers of the land could do
much to prevent the loss by keeping the
ground on hillsides covered with trees
or with sod. 1t Is the cultivated field
on slant which washes away most
rapidly. 1t is contrary to public policy,
or ut least to the welfare of the future,
that the top-soil of such land should
be sent down to the ocean when it
might be yielding grass crops. Many
rivers that are now muddy were clear
before the coming to this continent of
civilized man.
