WHEN SIZE DOESN'T COUNT.

My little boy came running in
Our house one recent day;
His pretty nose was minus skin,
| much regret to say.
On leaving home his two bright eyes
With laughter had been stirred;
Now he had three, to my surprise
"a black one was the third.
Out poured his tale how Jimmy Jones
Had caught him unaware,
And mopped the pavement with his boaos
While pulling out his hair.
But, then, oh, triumph of the tale!
That youth went on to say
He'd tackled Jimmy, tooth and nail,
And clicked him every way"
Seeking to hide my sinful pride
From that small urchn's view,
said, "How could you lick him gool?
Jim's bigger far than you"
Whereat with SCORE that sturdy elf
Looked fiXedly at me,
And straighaway he rid himself
OF this philosophy:
"He's bigger'n me? Why, Papa Jacl
Bigness don't count, say.
My pony's swifter on track
Than cart horse any day;
My pouter pigeon has throat
Beats any living thing,
But not one single little note
I've heard that pouter sing
"The ELEPHANTS big as any house,
And weighs about ten ton;
But could an ELEPHANT catch a mouse
If mousie tried to rum
Some more comparisons as pat
That small boy with grin
Shot forth at me; and while sat
My little wife came in.
She only weighs hundred pounds,
But when she saw my pride
In Willie's pugilstic rounds
Her voice rang high and wide.
Such scorn! such fire! | quickly fed,
Defeated, from the din
And as / went that small boy said,
"Say, pa, does bigness win?'

A Modern Bee Hive,

An up-to-date hive should contain
movable frames so that the bees may
be easily inspected and manipulated in
any way desired. 1t should contain an
air space all around the sides and over
the top as a protection from the heat
of summer and the cold of winter. 1t
should be made in u first-class manner
of seasoned material, with corners per-
fectly true and tight. The hive and
supers should be as simple as possible
for ease and quickness in handling.
There are several makes and styles of
hives and the choice between them is
largely matter Of personal taste. Few
beekeepers have the necessary tools to
make hives, and it is generally more
satisfactory, and quite as cheap, to
buy them in the fat from manufac-
turers who get them out in large quan.
titles by machinery with all pieces cut
true and uniform. They are easily
and quickly put together.

The Genesis of Foga.

Mr.. Rollo Russell has for many years
studied the formation of fogs, and now
prints his principal conclusions. Mist
and fog are ordinarily caused by the
mixture of currents of air of different
temperatures. Fogs that do not de.
pend on the meeting of such currents
are rare, but there are many cases
of meeting currents where no fogs are
produced.

Clipping the Queens Wings.

Clipping the queens wings is COM
monty done to prevent the queen from
flying away with the swarm. 1t should
be done when the bees are gathering a
little honey, and is best accomplished
in the early part of the season during
fruit bloom. The bees should be
handled, if possible, withoutosmoke.
When the queen is found, which is
somewhat difficult feature for the nov
ice, she should be taken by the wings
with the thumb and finger OF the right
hand, pass her to the left hand, let her
grasp the end Of the second finger of
the left hand with her feet and then
close the thumb and forefinger gently
against her body, letting the abdomen
hang down from the second finger.
Clip the wing on one side slantingly
lengthwise, taking only the lace. Do
not cut the hard bony part. Place her
on the top bar Of the hive and let her
go. IL it is done right there should be
no loss of queens. - New England

k Street Resident Complains
Against Arbitrary Action.
Mr.. Croghan Laments Removal of Shade
Trees at His Home-Captain New
comer's Explanation.

Mr. John Croghan, Of 1856 K Street
northwest, recently wrote letter to
the Secretary Of War. complaining Of the
alleged arbitrary action Of Captain
Newcomer. assistant to the Engineer
Commissioner Of the District, in order
ing four fine trees removed from the
lawn in front OF his home AIr Croghan
does not think it the wisest plan to pur-
sue TO place in charge Of the affairs
Of private citizens gentlemen of mill
tary training only. and he complains
that he has been treated IN the arbi-
trary fashion Of military rule.
AS Mr.. Croghan states the case, the
facts are that neighbor boosted that
he would have the trees removed. Ac-
cordingly complaint was made to the
Commissioners, and in due course Of
tine the matter was referred TO Cap
tain newcomer. He notified Mr. Gro
CHAN that the trees would have to be re-
moved. Mr., Croghan saw the captain,
and the latter. he says, affected to
change his mind. While Mr. Croghan
was IN the Yellowstone Park the trees
were removed. and he now lameRts the
loss OF shade and the general injury
70 his premises
Captain Newcomer a few days ago
wrote Ar. CToghan a letter in which he
stated that the trees were removed be
cause they were injuring the smaller
and younger trees next to the sidewalk
which formed part OF the continuous
row maintained in the public space. and
which should not be allowed 70 suffer
from the presence of the larger trees
not belonging 10 the regular system.
Captain Newcomer states that the cir
cumstances referred TO relative to the
information reaching the department
happened last year, and that the man
ner OF 1t vas such that IL was not deem
ed best 10 take action at that time. He
adds that before the trees were remov-
ed notice was sent BY the Superinten-
dent OF Parking, who found the family
absent, as stated Captain Newcomer
regrets any misunderstanding or that
the results are unsatisfactory. but he
thinks that the removal of the trees vas
justified by the conditions which existed,
without reference 10 the manner IN
which the infor1Iation reached the de-
partmenJ, several months ago.

The answer declares that the business

Quoted at loss. but not continuously So

bitt, and says that he was not sum
moned 10 attend the meeting Of the
members of the board Of directors at
which II was agreed 10 confess judg-
ment. He said be was IN the city and
those who met were aware OF the fact.
but he was not informed OF this inten-
ton to meet and confer.

court, conIendeu Lnat according 10 the
rules Of the Standard Butterine Com
pany. the alleged meeting OF the dire
tors was Illegal. because il could not
properly be held. the bylaws requiring
