when We think not" While Christ
spoke sometimes of signs preceding
His coming. He more often emphasiz-
ed the fact that His coming would be
as thief in the night. No man
knoweth the day nor the hour when
the Son of Man cometh." God has
revealed to no one the time when
Christ shall come again. The apostles
expected an immediate advent. but
were disappointed. At various times
in the past prophets have set appoint
ed times for His coming, but their pre-
dictions have failed. The same is true
of death. No one knows the day nor
hour when he shall die who dies nat
urally. Suddenly. Unexpectedly. with
out warning. death often comes. How
necessary therefore that we should be
always ready How important there
fore that we should be constantly on
our guard; that we should have our
loins girded and our lights burning:
that we should be like unto the serv-
ants who wait for the return of their
master from the wedding feast-who
never cease waiting and watching no
matter how long his coming may be
delayed and who are always ready

he may appear.

SOUTH DEER ISLE.

At our last meeting the president gave
some correspondence which all thought
too good to keep to ourselves, SO We pass
1t along.
Madame Presidents husband deals in
seeds and agricultural supplies. Lately
he received letter in a business looking
envelope marked Seeds, &C.. He naiur
ally supposed IL some new seed list, but on
opening 1t the letter proved to be from a
liquor distilling company. After saying
that they understood Maine to be a pro
hibition state, they begged to cfil his at
tention to their rye whiskey, saying C1cie

TRANSFERRING BEES.

Bees may be transferred from olo.
fashioned hives and put in the latest
improved hives at small cost and but
little trouble. Many Of the old hives
are yet found among farmers and 9TH
ers who keep bees on q small scale, and
butlittle returns are received from the
bees in this condition. New hives may
be secured and the bees transferred
Into them, and thus placed In shape to
make them profitable.
Transferring is usually done in spring
time, although It may be done success
fully almost any time during the sumo
mer, but owing to the fact that there
are but few bees in the hives In early
spring compared to the number that
occupy them later. and also the con-
dition Of the cambs. having but little
honey in them in early spring. 1t is not
best to transfer too early. and before
the bees have begun work for the sea-
son, but Is best to do the work about
the time they are gathering their first
honey. and have considerable young
brood in the hive. it is preferable, for
they will then take hold and go to
work much sooner after being trans
ferred. and repair the combs and put
everything in good order.
Transferring hive Of bees is good
lesson for the amateur. 1t is easily done
and any one can do it. First. get the
new hive all ip readiness to receive
them, and by the use Of good bee
smoker. smoke the bees in the old hive
by raising It little from the bottom
board and blowing the smoke well up
among the bees. Continue smoking
,em moderately for a few minutes to
allow them to fill up on honey, which
they will do when smoked, and again
apply the smoker as before. Now turn
the old hive bottom up, and II the bees
come to the top to any extent. smoke
them back down into the hive. Now
with the necessary tools draw out the
nails or cut them or. and take two
sides or the hives. II any combs are
fastened to the inside Of these. use .
knife with a long blade to cut them
loose. Now cut out the first combs,
ana with feather from the wing Of .
turkey. brush the bees of. and cut the
comb to At inside the new frames. and
easten 1t there by wrapping the frame
with hard Irvine and tying In several
elaces. Proceed with the next combs.
ana now brush the bees into the new
hive where the FIRST combs are placed.
and % on until all are In tbs new
nive. "a
