HIS ELooUENcE WAS LOST

Story Of His Opponent

A certain excellent but loud-vOiced
lawyer was addressing "A jury. Fin.

The jury were impressed. and the
other side was in danger.
The lawyer opposite had a sad. wat
cry eye and hatchet.like face. He
sat patiently through the tumultuous
gusts OF his friend, and after the
reverbcratiOns Of the closing crash he
rose quietly from his seat.
"As listened TO the thunderous ap-
peals of my learned friend" he said,
addressing 1.-The jury in IA drawling
tone, Il recalled an old fable. You
will remember, gentlemen, how the
lion and the ass agreed TO slay the
beasts Of the fleld and divide the
spoil. The ass was TO go into the
thicket and bray and frighten the ami
mails out, while the lion was to lie
in wait and kill the fugtves as fast
as they appeared. The ass sought the
darkest part of the jungle and, lift
ing up his awful voice, braycd and
brayed and brayed. The ass was
quite intoXitrS~N with his uproar, and
thought he'd return and see what the
lion thought of il. with n light heart
he went back and found the lion look
ing doubtfully about him.
What do you think of that? said
the eXultant ass. Don't you think

Scared~ ~em?' repeated tho lion. in
an agitated tone. Why. you'd a scared

The jury laughed, the effect Of the
lawyers sonorous eloquence was Wis.
IDLY weakened, and he lost the case.

An Experience with Bees.

A writer i'm the New York Tribune
Farmer tells Of his first experience
with the Italian bees in the same
aplary with black bees. The first year
he gave three Italian queens to as
many colonies. He had twenty colon
les Of black bees that he thought oX-
ira good workers. Two Of the italian
colonies gave each more surplus honey
than the best colony of the black bees.
They kep.st work during n severe
drouth when the black bees were near
ly all idle. They worked earlier in
the morning when the plants were wet
with dew, and i'm rainy weather, when
the black bees gathered no honey. The
apple trees around his apiary were so
well pollCnizcd that he had fifty per
cent. of good crop of apples, while
in localities two or three miles away
there were scarcely any apples at all.
They seemed to be able TO obtain nee
tar from flowers where the other bees
could not reach il, and to reduce a thin
nectar to honey when the others could
not do SO.

How TO Drink MIX.

Some people say they cannot digest

drink it down quickly, so that the

Some wheat Tests.

At the Pennsylvania Experiment
Station some tests with wheat gave
results that were summarized as fol-
lows:
l. The yield Of grain from the differ.
ent varieties Of wheat varied greatly.
2 The bearded varieties gave the
largest yield Of grain and Of straw
and the grain per measured bushel
was heavier than that produced by the
beardless or smooth varieties
3. In general the smooth chan varie-
ties were injured more by the Hcsslan
fly than the bearded chan varieties.
I. Latc-sown wheat was injured less
by the Hesslan fly than that sown
early.
,. The difference in the yield Of the
varieties may be accounted for in part
by the difference I'm the severity of at.
tack by the Hessian fly.
