How TO AVOID STINGs.

Stings can be avoided, first, by
having gentle bees. If no
o t h er point Of supe l.
ority over the common brown or
black bee than that of gentleness
could be fairly claimed for some of
the races introduced and some of
the strains developed in recent
years it would still be worth while
to get them ON this account alone.
Of the races already in general
cultivation, Carniolans are the gen
tlest. although Caucasians, more
recently introduced from south
eastern Russia and only now being
put on sale, are by far the least in
clined TO sting of any bees, and
may be handled at all times with
out Sm Oke, or at most with a very
slight application of smoke Some
strains OF Italians equal lin gentle.
ness the average Carniolans, but
in general the race native to Italy
is by no means as gentle as that
found in Carniola. Austria, and the
Caucasians are much I'D be prefer
red for the beginner.
The second essential to enable
one to avoid stings is to have
good smoker at hand whenever
the bees are TO be handled. ANY
way Of getting smoke of ANY Kind
into the hive and about itmay an
swer the purpose, but Tor ease and
effectiveness in keeping bees under
control nothing will take the place
of the modern bellows smoker. A
good one lasts years, and its cost is
so slight ($I.oo to 81 IS for the
medium sizes) that the expendi-
ture may be considered one of the
wisest that can be made in fitting

We presume there was politics in

gested in the White House. There
is evidence to support that belief.
But we think candid men will acquit
the President of any part in it. 1t
is the fate of Presidents to be sur
rounded by superserviceable secre-
taries and placemen more distin-
guished for their loyalty to their
chief than for the exercise of good
ludgmentin their attempts to serve
him. Senator Builey denounced
the writer of this calumny as all
sorts of liar. and extended his de-
nunciation to its originators, who
ever they might be. He might
have added that the pitiable Stiffness
Of the charge that he bad sought to
defeat the :rate bill by loading it
down with unconstitutional amend
ments was its own refutation. In
the Newspaper dispatch that formed
the subject of his brief but pointed
remarks the statement was made
that Senator Chandler had carried
to the White House the tale that
Senator Tilman was distrustful of
Senator Bailey and believed him 20
be treacherous, because he "bad |
devised his extraordinary amend
ment prohibiting the lower courts
of the United States from eXercis- |
ing the right to issue interlocutory |
orders for the sole purpose of de
feating the railroad BILL" If Sena-
tor Bailey did engage in this ne
farious plot. then the President
and Attorney General must be
branded as his copartners in the
dark conspiracy, for they, too, in
sisted upon limitation of the right
to issue exparte injuuctions. II is
unlikely that the most active and
eager supporters of the Hepburn
bill, from the President down
have really been trying to kill it by
the addition of unconstitutional
matter.
As to the most painful and re.
gretable feature of this controversy
the question of veracity that has
been raised, we think Senator
Chaudler's statement re- reinforcing
that Of Senator Tillinan goes very
far toward producing the convic-
ton in open minds that they are
right in their recollection aud the
President wrong. 1t is not neces-
sary to assume, and We altogether
