Do Bees Make HOneyl


Are your bees making any hon
ey;" writes L. Whitcomb in Ne
braska Farmer" Bees do not make
honey on any account. They sim
ply gather the nectar from the flow
ers and evaporate it to the consis-
tency with which it will keep. So
distinct is the nectar gathered from
different flowers that where other
nectar is not intermingled with it
we are able to say what plant IL
was gathered from. Where bees
carry into their hives and evaporate
sorghum sugar syrup or in fact
any sweet into the hive they have
no power to change it, save that OF
evaporation, and the juice from the
sorghum plant when taken into the
hive and evaporated is the most
crude thing one could imagine.
As we evaporate sorghum we skim
off the refuse, and even hitter
through clay and other purifying
materials, but the bees can do no
such thing. In feeding dirty sugar
we have found that in taking the
syrup into the hive they had also
taken in the dirt and were unable
to separate it.
So general has been the opinion
that bees will lug most anything
into the hive and store it away that
one is often amused thereby. Dur
ing the drouth years of 1894 and
1895 we were able not only to help
carry our bees through, but a great
many of our neighbors' by accident
ly running into a lot of sugar which
had been wrecked and mingled so
freely with dirt as to be unfit for
other uses. and in writing for a
further supply we wrote to a milk
condensing firm. who sent us sew
eral gallon cans of condensed milk,
stating that it was sweet and that
the bees would probably eat it. So
great is the notion that bees will
eat and carry glucose into their
hives that bee keepers have been
accused of feeding this TO their
bees. We have never seen bees tax
ing glucose or corn syrup into their
hives. We do not think they could
be induced to do so unless in a
starving condition, and under these
circumstances we doubt if this de-
coction would sustain the life of
the honey bee tor any considerable
time.
If authorizations get into the hon
ey they are more apt to ger there
through the agency of some un-
principled person than through the
workings OF the honey bee. Thou
sands of pounds of stuff called hon
ey is sold in our great cities every
year which never saw the inside OF
the bee hive. and which the honey
bee would ay over and back and
forth as She went to and fro to her
honey gathering without even the
thought that il was fl to be carried
into the hive.-Rice Journal.

Director Rotter has been at great pains
to provide genuine attractions for his
audience this season: Duse, Bern
hardt. Duncan, etc, have been the de-
light of thousands, and have reflected
honor on the man who placed his The
alter "a their disposal. But there is no
rule without an exception, and Raya
Hamilton proved a very decided ex-
ceptisn. What could have induced her
to enter the profession, and in what
evil hour did Talwyce determine to try
his hand at writing a drama, are ques-
lions difficult to answer. His attempts
at writing, and her acting are pretty
well On par. At a masked ball in
Paris Marquis CASTOR de Maneville
meets and falls in love with a young
Nubian lady; as Athara is closely
masked CASTOR does not know or even
suspect her nationality; they marry
and spend the honeymoon in Nubla. On
their return the young couple take up
their abode in Normandy, and are Wis
tied by Nanon de Marsonne, Athara's
dearest friend. Nubia, and his wife s
relations, do not seem to have Impress
ed the noble Marquis, and he begins
to be less attentive to his wife; when
Manon appears on the scene she and
Castor promptly fall in love, and the
Nubian just as promptly takes poison.
The 2 acts are not long, but In each OF
them one at least of the characters
makes long and very tiresome speech.
A remarkable drama! Raya Hamilton
would seem to have adopted the pro-
fession rather late in life, at any rate
she ha. not yet acquired the rudiments
of acting: her gait, gestures, and IN
ability to express joy, grief, or PAIN
remind one every moment of the novice
in the art. In the first scene Athara
is at fashionable mask ball. Raya
Hamilton appears in a domino which
has once seen better days, hideous
mask, cotton gloves and thick boots.
She played the part in German, Ian
guage with which she is evidently UNI
acquainted: an impossible pronuncia-
ton, grave grammatical plumbers, d1-
rect TRANSACTIONS of English idioms
were not the exception but the rule.
And all this before a German audience
in a German city! The effect of TINS
remarkable language, particularly IN
the serious scenes, was often so lud1-
crous that the audience could not refrain
from laughing. We must express our
admiration for Herr John for the man
ner in which he acquitted himself OF
the difficult task of playing the Marquis
to Raya Hamilton's Athara. Praise
worthy were also Fraulein Rosen
(Manon) and Herr Putt. The drama
was well and carefully staged by Herr
wftte-wild of the Berlin Lessins-
Theater.-P.

HARD BREAD or SWEDEN.
May Truly Be Called the star o3
Life Because Of Its
Rigidity.

Hard bread, or "hardt brod," is truly
the star of life in Sweden. Without
1t no meal would be complete. With
sour milk and dried fish, It forms the
daily food of the peasants, while those
who can afford the white bread and
rich cakes and pastries still call for
the hard bread of their forefathers.
In every cottage and farmhouse in
Sweden, says the Detroit Free Press,
may be seen a long pole stretching
across the kitchen near the fireplace,
and suspended from the ceiling by
ropes hung from two large hooks. This
pole Is weighted down by what looks
like thin wooden wheels. but which
are really "loaves" of bread, which are
thus kept dry and brittle by the heat
from the large fireplace.
AS the baking day comes not oftener
than once a season. one might easily
imagine that the last loaves on the
pole would lose their original appear
ance OF bread and be anything but
inviting to the appetite. The Swedes.
however, are extremely neat about their
kitchens. The floor is kept secured
and sanded. The family washing is
done In a separate room or building;
never In the kitchen. The fireplace,
when cooking is going on, is covered
by a smoke apron which let's no smoke
or odor es-ape into the room. The
freshness and neatness of the peasant
kitchen make even the hard bread ap-
petizing.
The bread is made by very simple
recipe. Rye flour and water and
yeast-these are the only necessary in
gradients. Sometimes salt is added
but everything not yielded by the soil
Is luxury 70 the poorer classes In.
stead Of the caraway seeds which the
German baker puts into his rye bread
the Swede uses anise seed.
The dough is made very stiff and
rolled out like piecrust, not more than
quarter Of an inch thick. II ia then
cut into large circles, about twice the
size OF an ordinary pie tin" A hole
Is cut m the middle Of each circle with
what do you think? k?-part of a cows
norm! BY nature the Swede is eco.
nomical and resourceful, and when A
cutter can be procured at home with.
out any labor. why should he take the
ume to make one, or the money to
buy one?
Tne ioaves are lifted into the brick
oven by means of long, fiat wooden
shovel, much like what bakers use
mere, but the loavas are not mt into
pans They bake directly on the brio:
floor Of the oven.
Inc bread bakes quickly, but as the
usuai oven does not hold more than
hve or SIX loaves and dozens of loaves
must Dc baked at one sitting" baking
day sometimes lasts through two q,
three calendar days.

Painting in the Dark.

Artists are known to be often eccen-
trio in their methods; but Mr. H. Key
worth Raine appears to have adopted
an entirely original system Of his own.
While his confreres of the brush are
seeking by artfully placed studios to
have steady. brilliant light upon their
work, Mr.. Raine retires to tn. seclusion
of an underground London cellar, and
there he paints portraits which are re-
markable for their beauty and
strength. The light he elects to work
by can scarcely be called light at all.
for even the enfeebled rays which filter
through into his dingy studio are
practically stopped by tissue paper and
curtains. Mr.. Raine recently gave an
exhibition Of his method At a London
hotel. On four consecutive days he
painted for an hour at a time in a
room which was almost dark, watched
eagerly the while by a COMMITTEES of
literary, journalistic and art critics
At the end Of the four hours the light
was let into the room, and fine nor.
trait, full Of power and originaj,tv
was seen to have been produced -

THE ORIGIN OF "sUNDAE." !"

"Sundae sounds like an East Indian

st. Louis Globe-Dsmocrst.
"The name originated IN New Or

druggist there whose soda fountain

himself one Sunday without the usual
supply Of tanks, through some strike
or other trouble, or else he was unable
to obtain ioe, l forget which. At any
rate, he wasn't in . position to serve
anything but ice cream and sirups, and
he was almost in despair.

new Sunday drink. Gradually other
soda fountains began dispensing 1t, the
request for 1t continued, couched in the
same form, however, and 1t wasn't
long before It's use in advertising

None Of the Later Iron Vessels At

predece essors.

The sailing ship. when I knew her
In the days OF her perfection, was q
sensible creature, writes Joseph Con-
rad, In Harper's. When say her
days OF perfection, I mean perfection
of build. gear, seaworthy qualities and
ease Of handling, not the perfection Of
speed. That quality reached its high
est excellence in the discovery of hol-
low lines and departed with the change
Of building material. None Of the iron
ships Of yesterday ever attained the
marvels Of speed which the seaman
ship Of men famous in their time had
obtained from their wooden, copper
sheeted predecessors.
Everything had been done to make
the iron ship perfect, but no wit of
man had managed to devise an EN-
cient coating composition to keep her
bottom clean with the smooth clean
ness Of yellow metal sheeting. After
a spell Of few weeks as sea, an iron
ship begins to lag as II she had grown
tired too soon. II Is only her bottom
that Is getting foul. A very little affects
the speed Of ship that Is not driven
on by an untiring propeller. Often
II is impossible to tell what inconsid-
crate trifie puts her off her stride.
A certain mysteriousness hangs
around the quality of speed as II was
displayed by the old sailing ships CON-
manded by competent seamen.. In
those days the speed was still matter
for the seaman's care; therefore. apart
from the laws. rules and regulations
for the good preservation of his cargo,
he was careful Of his loading, Of what
is technically called the trim Of his
ship. Some ships sailed best on an
even keel. others had to be trimmed
quite one foot by the stern and have
heard of ship that gave her best
speed when loaded as to float couple
