light what appears to be the tomb OF
Ugolino della Gherardesca, more ia
miliar to readers of Dante's "Inferno"
as Count Ogolino. Hewas a Neapolitan
who in the thirteenth century endeav-
ored to usurp the government of Pisa,
and for time succeeded, exercising his
power with great severity. In 1888 a
conspiracy was set on foot for his over
throw. The count was taken prisoner
and with three of his sons and one Of
his grandsons was left to die of hunger,
The present discovery of a rectangular
tomb with five skulls and some bones
in the place Of burial assigned to the
count by tradition seems to confirm
the impression that these are the re-
mains of the ictims.-Baltimore News.

How to Locate Henhouses.

Poultry houses should not be located
on the north side of clump of ever
green trees or to the north of build
ings that will shut off the supply OF
sunshine in the winter time. Sum
shine should be present at all times
of the day; its salutary effect will be
remarkable. In the summer time the
fowls naturally get all the sunshine
they want without our help, but at
this time of year we must give them
our help. Sunshine will keep the air
dry and will to some extent neutralize
the moisture constantly being thrown
off from the lungs of the fowls. A few
good-sized windows on the south side
will prove of immense value.-Farm-
ers' Review.

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Bees can endure dry cold, but not
dampness.
When honey is overheated its color
is injured.
Spring is usually the best time to in
vest in bees
Lack of ventilation is a cause OF
dampness IN many hives.
More bees are lost by wintering than
by disease OF any other cause.
Bees Matched in the fall will live
through the winter until spring.
Extracted honey is much easier kept
than comb honey, as the latter is liza
bic to get soiled.
No drones are reared in a colony I'M
til the colony becomes strong with
plenty of worker brood.
Combine beekeeping with fruit
growing and you can more easily pro-
cure two crops from the same land.
Honey that remains in the comb for
some time after being stored is al
ways the best article when extracted.
In very cold weather bees often die,
and, falling, will clog the entrance.
They must be removed or the bees will
smother.
During the winter care must be
taken in removing dead bees, so as not
10 disturb the hive and arouse them
into activity.
Stirring honey unnecessarily causes
it to candy sooner than it otherwise
would. Usually there is no reason for
disturbing it,
All work that is to be done with
bees in winter time must be done on
warm days while the bees are flying,
and at no other time.
If there is too much drone comb in
the hive remove il and replace it with
worker comb. In this way the supply
of drones is easily regulated.
1t is not so much in understanding
the theory of beekeeping that brings
success as in the capacity for looking
after the details.-St. Louis Republic.
The entrances to the hives should be
contracted during. the winter. The
bees do not require the full-sized en-
trance for ventilation in winter, even
though the colony be strong onS

they laughed scornfully as tney spoke
of the white-faced Amercanos and
snapped their fingers at "Haltas!"
Then Juan and Jose sailed forth to see
Pedro home and help him bid defiance
to the American HALT" And to insure
success they carried their sharpest
bolos.
1t was the early morning relief on
guard. Cross Dog was on post at the
down river end Of the mill, and it al
ways stirred his bile to have his sleep
broken Just before daybreak. The air
was chill ard damp and Cross Dog shiv'
cred and cursed all creation by cata-
logue. Then he stopped and listened.
The light breeze from the east never
caused that rustic in the cane field.
Again Cross Dog c"ouched on one knee
and threw the safety lock OF his krag.
A half-naked native stepped out into
the clearing. Again Cross Dog waited
to see If he came alone. Another and
another stepped out beside the first
and the three advanced crouching with
bolos in hand. They mockingly echoed
Cross Dogs challenge, and came on,
ard then the hacienda awoke to the
music Of "Wow-rprp! Tick-tuck-tuck-
tick! Wow-rprp! Observation-Disclosures
Wow-rprpl" And this time Cross
Dogs rifle had done its deadly work as
three silent Kal<iasks lying there In the
gray morning testified. Six men in
blue stood and looked down at the slain.
And then there was a great uproar,
and native men chartered and native
women shrieked and native dogs barked
end native babies howled. Only the SOL
diers were silent and grave as they
looked upon the dead, until a gray
haired little brown woman came and
knelt beside old Pedro and sought to
close his eyes and compose his limbs,
Then Cross Dogs eyes looked down to
the ground, and he was ashamed of his
handiwork, for the gray old woman
was old Pedro's wife and Luisa's
mother. It was while his eyelids were
weighted down with shame and pity
that little Luisa, pretty and coquet-
fish, nestled up to his side and caressed
his hairy, freckled fist and looked up at
him with smiling lips and eyes moist
with love-light.
Darn YOU" said she, pressing his
hand over her heart with both of hers,
"me love you mucha. You boom-boom
madre pointing to her mother) and we
matrimony. Esta"
For in the outlying islands Of the
Philippines, where the world is topside
down, the old folk pound out no rice
and are the better for being killed.
It was thus that Cross Dog won one
woman's heart. But Sevenspot's proph-
ecy came true, for he cursed her until
his throat was sore, and then exchanged
with a soldier at Isabella to get out OF
her sight. And now, when some young
soldier boasts Of his success with the
fair sex, Cross Dog blurts scornfully:
Darn It! can take my krag and
200 cartridges and go out and get
enough women to start harem. Ali
you have to do to make 'em love you is
to kill their mothers and fathers!"-N.

A story of FuselI.

Fuseli, an eminent HISTORICAL painter
who grew in fame after 1870, when he
first formed the resolution to devote his
talents to painting, was rather fond OF
sarcastic remarks at the expense of his
friends. Northcote, a contemporary,
exhibited his Judgment of Solomon"
Fuseli looked at it with smirk on. his
face. "How do you like my picture"'
inquired Northcote. "Much," was the
answer. "The action suits the word.
Solomon holds out his fingers like a
pair of open scissors at a child, and
SAYS: Cut it, 1 like it much =" North
cote remembered this when Fuseli ex-
hibited picture representing Hercules
drawing his arrow at Pluto. How do
you like my picture?' inquired Fuseli.
Much" said Northcote; "it is clever,
very clever, but he'll never hit him"
"IIe shall hit him" exclaimed the other,
"and that speedily" Away ran Fuseli
with his brush. and, as he labored to
give the arrow the true direction, was
heard to mutter: Hit him. BY
Jupiter, but he shall hit him!"

POULTRY FEED TROUGH.

A limitation. We draw the line dis
tinctIy when an old hen proposes to
Jump into her food or water with filthy
feet. We do so by the use of feed
rack or trough like that shown in the
Illustration. The bottom and ends are
made of ten-inch boards. The top con-
sists of a strip one and one-half inches
wide at each side and hinged lid
covering the space between them. The
sides are made of a strip two and one
half inches wide at the bottom, and
above that heavy wire Stats about two
and one-half inches apart. These are
fastened with staples at the lower end,
and turned at right angles, driven
through the one and one-ha.f-inch
strip, and clinched at the upper end.
Strips of board would do for Stats. The
rack should be ten or twelve inches
high, and may be of any length de-
sired. Water in vessels can be placed
in this rack, as well as feed of all kinds,
including cabbage-heads, turnips'
beets, ETC., and all will be kept Clean

Color in Medical Practice,

The use Of colors as a part of med

light, for example, has been recently
advocated in the treatment of measles
and smallpox. Jean Gaddesden
cured the son of Henry l., king of Eng
land, of smallpox by surrounding the
prince in scarlet, clothing him in scar
let as we'll as all his attendants, and
having red carpets and hangings in the
room. The record shows this succeed
