About the Bees.

In early spring or In autumn, when
the days are cool. 1t is prudent not to
open hives until near midday, when
the field bees will then be out gather
ing honey. On cloudy or rainy days 1t
is best not to open the hives at all. for
the field bees are then at home and
are cross, being deprived Of the privi-
lege of gathering the precious nectar
from the flowers. 4 gentleman once
asked me, When do you take off your
honey; at night when the bees are
asleep? Whereupon informed him
that bees never sleep. They work in
cessantly for six weeks and then die
Of old age. Their wings. which are but
tissue. become shredded. and they fall
to the ground on their way to and
from the fields. At night is the very
worst time to molest bees. as some pill
ferrous persons have found out to their
sorrow. Ii is true bees do not fly at
night. but they crawl and sting. BY in
judicious handling bees can be made
very irritable and cross. so that they
will sting everybody near and far and
will remain angry and vicious for
weeks. Therefore a beekeeper should
be very cautious and use good judg-
ment so as not TO make his bees a nui-
sance to his neighbors.-Farm Journal.

He Was a FOreiqner.

Ex-senator Joseph L. Barbour, of
Connecticut, in commenting upon the
ease with which Irishmen become
Americanized after coming to this
country, told the following story at a
Waldorf-AstOria dinner the other
evening:
There was little Irish boy named
Patsy, who came to the United States
with his family. One morning his
teacher in the public school asked
him:
Who was the first man, Patsy?''
George Washington" was the
prompt reply.
oh, no. said the teacher
George Washington was the father
of his country, but Adam was the
| first man.
We'll, responded Patsy. L didn't
knaw We war spakin' o. furriners.' ~

For the past two seasons several

The heart is the hardest worked organ of the
human body. 1t beats on an average of seventy
times minute-from the minute of birth to the
minute of death. Every half minute or every
thirty second beat the whole of the blood i'll the
body is pumped through the heart that the
dual heart moves about six tons of blood in each
twenty-four hours. On the purity of that blood
health depends. On the strength of the heart
depends the strength of the body.
The question then is, how can we keep the
blood pure and the heart strong? That question
answers itself when we know what is the common
cause of the blood's impurity, and whence arises
the tendency to heart utrouble." What is blood
Blood is only digested food In proportion as
food is nutritious the blood is rich. In pro-
portion as the food is properly digested the blood
is pure Indigested food clogs and corrupts the
blood, and indigestion often precedes or attends
the first symptoms of heart "trouble." The first
necessity to the production of pure blood is that
the stomach and other organs of digestion ana

stomach is properly digested and perfectly assimi-
