GsSyyeatfng" Bees.


The process known as sweating is
not confined to human beings. 1t is
applied to bees by some up to date
keepers.
The natural tendency of the bee to
work and it's great dislike to idleness
are made use of to the fullest extent.
Honey is a product that yields n good
profit, so the beekeeper brings the
flowers as near as may be to the hive
and induces his insect gatherers to
work hard to collect the honey from
them.
An expert beekeeper gives the fol-
lowing idea of what they will do. Sew
enty-five acres of land planted with
white clover or sanfOin will keep 100
hives busy during the three summer
months. The yield of honey for each
fine day is ten pounds per acre, and as
the plant flowers twice and remains In
bloom for a week very often the total
yield is 10000 pounds.
Combmaking is lighter and less dan
gerous work than gathering honey, Sc
the young bees usually perform this
task. But the keeper wants them al
to work and work hard, so he provides
the base of the comb in natural siz'
and pure wax. That leaves less worl
to be done at home, and the bees g
out Immediately there is nothing more
for them to do inside. The keeper als'
takes care to constantly empty tn
combs, so that the bees shall alway
be Iaboring to fill it.-London Stand

there was nothing missing from the

There was no room to doubt that the
lady had lifted it, but that only made
the case worse in way. For a trades
man and detective to charge a lady
OF quality with shoplifting was as bad
as treason against the crown. A mere
word would bring financial ruin upon
the Jeweler. and he was ready to stand
the loss ten times over rather than
speak it.
Twice more within the next fort

that l was neither process server no

He seemed to feel it a duty to report |
bis loss, however, and after being |
quietly advised to have an eye on his
employees and unknown customers he
was dismissed with the promise that
the matter would be looked into. AS a
matter of fact no assignment was
made on the case. Some flash chap
had "lifted'' the jewels without even
bis call being remembered. and ii was
no use TO hunt for a needle in n hay
stack.
1t wasn't three days before another
case was reported by another Strand
jeweler. This time it was a diamond
sunburst, and he was positive that he
had shown it to only three ladies before
he missed it. He was reluctant TO give
the names, but when pressed to do so
that of the marquis wife again headed
the list. The others were almost as far
above suspicion. and the inspector look
ed at the complainant in a way to make
him feel like n culprit. This time
was put on the case, but shall be hon
est enough to say that it was a mere
matter Of form. 1t was more than any
officials head was worth even to hint
that one Of the three ladies mentioned
might have carried the ornament away

1t was about five days after this that
the third case was reported. This time
Jeweler had lost a pair of valuable
diamond earrings, and he had to be
nard pressed by the inspector before
le would admit that the loss was de-
@eted almost Immediately after the
marquis wife had left the store. She
mad greatly admired the ornaments and
nau partly decided to purchase them at
later date. Not for one instant, not
