Handling Bees.


We have all known people who
could handle bees with seemingly as
little danger of getting stung as II
they were so many flies; while the
first appearance of others seem to in
vite attack. That they can distinguish
n stranger, can scarcely be doubted.
Even a strange horse Is at once no
ticcd. AS evidence Of the latter, our
own team stops two or three times a
day at the watering trough not far
from the bee hives, and where the
little insects often repair In warm
weather for drink. land jus, here Is
q point; that bees require water.) No
matter how warm and swcaty the
horses are, they are never molested by
the winged cleaners; but more than
once has Il strange horse ieen forced
by them to q rapid retreat from the
trough.
Nervous and excitable people will do
well to keep away from bees unless
they are willing to mustei III sufficient
will power to restrain their emotions.
As a rule bees do not sting except in
self defense, either real or fancied.
The bee-keeper who can quietly let
them crawl over his hands and cloth
ing, never striking at one even though
it assume an offensive air, Is the one
who escapes with the fewest scars.
Be careful not to pinch them in NOV
ing the frames. A little smoke will
| drive them out of danger, yet exces,
sive smoking should not be INDUCED
in. The object is to get them out Of
harms way, not to stupefy them. One
successful apiarist smears his hands
with honey before commencing work.
Though bees may light On them for no
good purpose, they get a taste of
honey, and for the time being forget
their anger in their joy at finding un.
expected sweets. OF course there are
times when it is not practicable to
adopt this device, sticky fingers I'm.
peding the work TO a great extent.
When stung, brush the sting off In,
stead Of picking 1t out. By the latter
method poison from the tube is
pressed into the wound. thereby in,

affected parts is also a standard rem.

working around the hives. The bees

and fall with ten-fold fury upon n
who has traces of either upon his per.

during the middle of the day, when
the bees are hard at work than in the

Rnst NInthnha Of Civilization.

l am very much interested in the
idea that deep cultivation. of trees is
very injurious to them. All stirring
of the soil is in itself d benefit to a
crop, but it is easy to disturb the roots
of a plant or tree If the plow or hoe
goes down deep and SO do 1t harm. |
am sure that cultiyators do not watch
such things at all carefully as a rule,
and so they may be destroying a great
many small roots without knowing 1t.
There Is n great misrepresentation
among farmers as to the real thing ac-
tomplished by cultivation, so that in
many cases there would be very little
of it done If it were not necessary to
kill the weeds.
Practically all of our commonest
weeds are tap rooted and If allowed to
get n good start must be torn out
deep down to Kill them. On the other
hand, all of Il garden vegetables and
field crops are very shallow rooted,
with the exception of root crops SO
that deep cultivation is injurious to
them. The obvious way out Of this
dilemma is to cultivate very shallow
and often. Any weed from seed is
killed by merely breaking it in two,
il done before it gets past Its first
stage of growth, so that shallow cul-
tlvation answers every purpose. Let
us plow implanted soils deep, but cul-
tiyate the surface only.-John Cham

The report which Senator Mitchell

The report which Senator Mitchell
makes of his observations of public
feeling in europe during a two years
residence there, from which he has
just returned, is not pleasant. In sub
stance it is that while the English re-
spect Americans and are much nor
friendly toward them than they used
to be, the Continental peoples, and cs
peclally the Germans and the French,
manifest a positive and rather bitter
dislike toward us. The Senator is IA
millar with the languages of these ma
tons, and he says abroad did he see in
period of his stay abroad did he see in
the press Of either a kindly allusion to
his own. The feeling approaching ami
mostly he attributes mostly to COM
merclal rivalry and a sense that the
Americans are gradually e~ngrossing
the trade that formerly belonged to the
Continent, and are bound to do so
more and more, and to encroach on the
Continental markets.

A little story, capable of indefinite
expression by the foreign observer oil
American manners, comes from the
New York Tribune:
Last summer, when Il admirable
Secretary of the Navy was visiting
his native village of Buckheld, in
Maine, he sent some clothes to the
village washerwoman, and driving by
the next week in company with a rep
resentatiye to Congress, stopped to
ask for them. The woman turned to
her assistant.
MAY" said she, sis Johnny's wash
ing done YETI"
An appropriate pendant TO this story
is one of an Engllshwoman and an
American girl. Said the Englishwom-
an:
81 really cannot understand class
distinctions In America! Is it really
true that men and women of superior
position never draw the line-never
look down on those of an Inferior CO.

"Oh, they look down all right re-
piled the girl cheerfully. "The trouble
is to get the others to look up!'

the suspicion of the thought of a third
term. In view, therefore, of the reit-
Grafton Of the suggestion of it, l will
say now. once for all, expressing a
long settled conviction, that not only
am not and will not be n candidate for
a third term, but would not accept a
nomination for it if 1t were rendered
me.
My only ambition Is to serve
through my second term to the accept
Inc of my countrymen, whose gener-
Il confidence | SO deeply appreciate,
and then, with them, to do my duty in
the ranks of private citizenship"
There was nc Idea among those who
waited upon members of the Cabinet,
after they had gathered at the White
House on the previous evening, and
who questioned the group of officials,
that they protected so interesting a
secret. Each member of the Cabinet
calmly answered when the business
of the meeting was inquired about
that the visit was strictly social"
prompted by the decision of the physi-
clans attending Mrs. Mckinley, that
her malady had taken so improved n
form as to Justify congratulations to
the President in a body.
The President had hoped to be able
to let the talk pass unnoticed, as the
idle conjecture Of ingenious newspaper
men in the dull summer season. The
announcement made by Senator De-
pew of the probability that President
Mckinley would be again elected
President was a rude disturber of the
train of thought in which the Presi-
dent had INDUCED, and he was inclined
to disavow the assertion then, But
when General Grosvenor, an intimate
friend of the President, and some
times referred to as his "mouthpiece,"
not only declared that the President
would be again nominated, but argued
that the unwritten law against a third
term had no force or support in the
public mind, the President decided
that he could not, with care for his
party or himself, longer maintain
silence.
Aside from the aversion with which
the President regards occupation of
the office for a third term on political
grounds. he has a strong inclination
10 devote his time after his present
term of office to personal affairs that
have secured only his divided atten-
ton while he has been President, and
he contemplates with great hopeful
ness the prospect of making comfOrta-
BILE, free from the excitement insepera-

ley at her home in Canton.

McCune and nine others went down
shaft No. >. Just before they were
lowered the bell was rung from the
foot of the shaft. The cage was al
ready down, and 1t was brought up
with Settler in it..
The rescuing party then went down.
Nothing was heard of them. and in an
hour another rescuing force. led by
James Bailey and William Williams,
fire bosses, were let down the shaft.
They had CROPPED their way about 20C
feet when two explosions were heard
IN rapid succession. The shaft lamps
in the hands of Bailey and Williams
were blown fifty feet away, and they
themselves were thrown violently to
the ground. They arose to their feet
and called for their comrades, but
there was no answer. Both men hur-
rled back to the shaft and were drawn
up in the cage.
The party that went in later was
composed of Mine Inspector Bernard
Callahan, the general superintendent,
John Reese, and William McFee, Dan
iel Mccullough and Peter McLindon,
fire bosses, and Robert Mckinney, pit
boss.
The rescue party had been in the
mine about nm hour when the mufled
report of another explosion was heard
issuing from the depths of the shaft,
and a rush for the cage was made by
the men above, who thought that
these rescuers had met the fate OF
those who had gone before. A dozen
men volunteered to go down and try
to rescue the party, but their services
| were not needed, as the signal to hoist
the cage was given from the bottom,
| and when it reached the top three III
conscious forms were found lying on
1t. This last explosion in the minds OF
many seemed to settle the fate Of the
entombed men, and all hope of get
ting any of them out alive has beer
abandoned.
Seven years ago there was another
disastrous explosion at Port Roya.
and the mine caught fire. 1t waS
