ST. sWITHlN's DAY
Is Responsible for Venerable Superstl
 ton in England.

From the Chicago News.
 St. Swithins day was July 15 and in England there is superstition that if 1t rains on that date the succeeding forty days will be wet and if, on the contrary, St. Swithin's day be fair then the sue ceeding two-score days will likewise be pleasant. The superstition Is venerable. for one old historian remarks that "St. Swithin, holy bishop of Manchester. about the year Sb0 was called the weep ing St. Swithin for that about his feast Praesepe and Aselli. rainy consultations, arise cosmically and commonly cause rain.i
 the good bishop left orders at his death that he should be buried in the open church yard and not in the chancel. The monks, however, disobeyed the wishes of their head and laid him to rest on July 15 within the minister, whereupon rain fell heavily and continually till, on the fortieth day, the offending priests became alarmed and hastened to fulfll their dead bishops request.
 Statistics furnished by the officials at Greenwich observatory diseredit the &C., curacy of the whole tale. The figures for twenty years preceding 1861 go to show that the greater number of rainy days after St. Swithin's day followed a dry July 15.

of this implement, which may be al
ways found ready to hand, Is a linen
handkerchief and strong stick. The
best place to apply the tourniquet for
q wound Of the arm is above the ell
bow, where the pulsations Of an ar
terry may be felt by any one.
The handkerchief should be tied
around the arm rather loosely; the
stick is thrust In and turned to tighten
it until the blood ceases to flow. OF
course this is only temporary relief
till the coming Of the doctor, who, in
case of serious bleeding, must be sum-
moned as soon as possible. When you
have nothing at hand in a case Of sud
den accident even the pressure of the
forefinger and the thumb over the
wound may arrest the flow of blood

NSture's Distillcry.

Chemists at one time believed that
petroleum was formed in the depths of
the earth by the action Of water work
ing on metallic carbons in a state Of
fusion. Now that statement Is chal-
lenged by some geologists, who contend
that petroleum is the result of putre-
faction of animals which ages ago We're
swallowed In enormous cataclysms,
similar to that at Mont Pelee. This
upheaval says Professor Engler, buried
millions Of prehistoric Quadrupeds, liz
ards, serpents and sea monsters, and
during all the cycles of years that have
elapsed since then the bodies of these
animals have been distilled by Mother
Nature In her immense laboratory be-
meath the earth's surface. The result
of this distillation, according to this
theory, is petroleum.

GIRL OWNS MANY HORSES
The Horse Queen of Idaho Is Young Woman
of Nerve and Business Ability.

Miss Kitty c. Wilkins, a we'll
known horse raiser of Bruneau,
Idaho, believes in the horse. She
has been reared in way that
makes her understand him, says a
local report. She has horse
ranch all her own. 1t is not a
small ranch. There are thousands
of acres under fence and there is
an almost unlimited range around
it. After closing a contract in
Kansas City for 5000 head of
horses she still has nearly 5000 on
the range.
In her little principality in Ida
no she is queen. She rides and
drives alone and unattended all
over the great northwestern ex-
panse. Sometimes | travel as
much as 90 miles without seeing a
house or sighting human being"
said she, "but | am never afraid.
l carry a six-shooter, but of course
have never had the slightest
reason for even thinking of using
! it."
All her employees worship Miss
wilkins, and the swells of the
cities, when she visits New York,
Chicago, Denver, or any other
metropolis of the land, are de-
lighted with the honor of her
company, says the Denver Post.
She has preserved all the delicacy
and rehnment that belongs to the
boudoir and the drawing room,
and has yet made magnificent
success of horse ranching.

more irrigation works are built the
more public lands within reach of
the water supply will become mar
ketable, and thus the progress of
the work will help to swell the
fund.
AS the water is supplied the
owners of the land benefited will
pay for what they use and will ul-
'timately pay for the entire cost Of
improvement. All the money they
pay will be turned back into
the fund, and thus will be used
over and over again for the
building of more storage reservoirs.
When finally the limit of water
attainable has been reached and it
is not practicable to irrigate more
land the entire fund will be turned
into the general treasury.
The work of surveying the
western streams to ascertain the
amount of water supply and how
the land may be reclaimed by irri-
cation has been in progress since

voirs has only just begun in Ne

BEES DISTRIBUTE POLLEN
They are of Great Advantage In FertiIizine
fruit and Cereal Blossoms.

The honey-bee as a pollen-dis-
tributor is perhaps of greater
value to this country than the crop
OF honey produced. 1t has of
late years occurred to scientists
that the honey-bee is of more
benefit for distributing pollen than
all other sources combined. That
we are largely indebted to the
honey-bee for both quantity and
quality of our fine fruits there is
but little boubt. Not only fruits,
but vegetables and cereals COM
monty grown on the farm.
Bees are not the only insects
that are valuable in pollenizing
flowers, but if we note very
closely we will find that only on a
very small scale compared with
the honey-bees do other insects
accomplish much of this work.
The honey-bee is a general pollen
gatherer wherever pollen is to be
found, and thus works an extern
sive territory. Bees thoroughly
canvass several miles in diameter
in search of both pollen and
honey, and are always pollen-dis-
tributors whether they are en-
gagged in gathering honey or
pollen.
Who has not seen the cornfeldS,
with their heavy laden tassels of
pollen swarming with honey-bees?
Also the clover fields, the buck
wheat fields, the orchards, the
vegetable fields, the strawberry
fields, and almost every wild
flower that produces either fruit
or seed is visited by the busy bees,
perhaps every hour in the day,
thus distributing pollen from
flower to flower, industriously per-
forming the work that Nature in
tended them to do.
Fruit-growers of the present
have awakened to the fact that
the honey-bee is their best friend,
and that bees and fruit growing
must be closely combined. So it
is all along the line of this inn
mense field of labor depending
upon the honey-bee principally
for successful returns. Who
could not be a friend to the honey
bee, one of Natures gifts to man'
That there are not enough bees to
supply thoroughly this want there
is little doubt; many neighbor-
hoods have but few colonies of
bees. In support of this | would
refer you to the State of Califor-
MIA, which is the most extensive
bee-keeping State in the Union,
and also the same i'll the produc-
ton of fruit.-National Rural.
