CANADIAN BOAT SONG.
[Erom the Gaelic.


Listen 10 me as when We heard our father
Sing long ago the song of other shores
Listen to me, and then In chorus gather
All our deep voices, as We pull your oars:
Fair these broad mcads-thesc hoary
woods are grand;
But we are eXiles from our fathers lana.
From the lone Smelling of the misty island
Mountains divide us, and the waste o.
seas
Yet still the blood is strong, the heart is
Highland.
And we in dreams behold the Hebrides.
Fair these broad meads--these hoary
woods are grand;
But we are exi'es from our fathers land.
We neer shall tread the fancy haunted val
ley,
small clear stream,
In arms around the patriarch banner rally.
Nor see the moon on royal tombstones
CLEAN.
Fair these broad meads-these hoary
woods are grand;
But we are exiles from Our fathers land.
When the bold kindred, in the time long
CONQUERED the soil ana fortified the keep,
Nor seer foretold the children would be
That degenerate lord might boast his
sheep.
Fair these broad meads-these hOary
woods are grand:
Bot we are cxiics from our fathers lano.
Come foreign rage, let discord burst In
slaughter,
o. then. for clansmen true, aud stern
ClaymoFe-
The hearts that would have given their
blood like water
Beat heavily beyond the Atlantic roar
Fair these broad meads-these hOary
woods are grand;
But we are cXies from our fathers land.

KEEPS BEES IN BEDROOM.
Culturist Does Not Let Them Out Until
Spring.

A large swarm of bees belonging to
2. l.. Kline of Bloomsbury, Pa, has re
manned in his bedroom all winter and
not until spring is well advanced will
their quarters be removed to the garden.
Kline is an expert bee culturist, and last
fall conceived the idea of having the
swarm under his eyes all winter. Inside
his bedroom he built a hive, three sides
of which are of glass. The bottom of
the live is extended under the window
sash, and the bees get into the hive in
that way, but cannot get out of the hive
into the room. The swarm made about
20 pounds of honey last season, and of
this amount Kline took IS pounds, leav-
ing the remainder for the bees to feed
on during the winter. They have good
appetites, but there is still about 20
pounds of the honey left. There are
about 5000 bees in the swarm, and in
few days the young bees are expected
to emerge from their cells. The full
grown bees have been busy during the
few days of warm weather gathering
what honey they could from the early
blossoming trees. 1t is not much, but
they can already be seen filling some Of
the cells
