How 20 Prevent s,rnrminr

1t is very nice to have swarms of
bees if we have use for them, but IL
is too expensive a thing to have Just
for the fun of it. If you want the
best returns in honey and no increase
in bees do not allow them to swarm.
The first preventive is TO give them
plenty of room to store surplus
honey This will check many swarms.
II they persist in swarming. take out
all their queen cells as fast as they
build them preparatory to swarming.
If they still persist in swarming. take
away their queen. and this will settle
1t Tor the present. But in most cases
il is best to let these persistent
swarmers swarm and then hive them
in new quarters. Farmers Voice.

The authority of his former commander
for such calumnies was passed unchal-

should be left to deal with the immortal
events which resulted in the destruction
of Cerveras fleet.
But Schley's enemies would not have
it so. After they had failed to wiring
even a word of complaint from him,
much less of denial, they played their
last card. They resorted to the desper-
ate expedient of making the war de-
partment appear to lend it's official sane

made their stool-pigeon; and they
brought theic game down.

PERIOD OF CHILDHOOD And LIE
TNGRE4STNG

Accepting the theory of John Fisk re-
hood upon the human race, we are
bound to conclude that the race is un-
dergoing a marked mental and physical
evolution. That the period of childhood
is increasing in a marked degree is ohvi-
Gus to the most casual observer This
may be owing to {; changed condition of
society, to the abatement of the demand
upon youth for labor, or to the widening
field of achievement necessitating longer
preparation. 1t matters not, the fact re-
mains that the period of adolescence has
increased so per cent during the last cen
fury The history of our older colleges
shows that many graduated at the age of
fifteen years. These were not the ab-
normally precocious, but the average.
In the ordinary walks of life the boy of
fourteen was put to trade or given a
position of responsibility. Children mar
ried while yet in their teens. Beardless
boys were men, and girls in short dresses
We're women, with the responsibilities
of adults
This is all changed now. Twenty to
twenty-five is the average age of gradu-
aticn. Some do not finish their education
until twenty-eight. Young men can no
longer jump into responsible positions
until years have matured their judgment
The result is that the age of maturity
has been postponed-the days of child
hood heightened This makes. not only
for long life, but for a completer intel
