Bees are revived by human breath,
even when apparently dead. An old
writer on the subject describes how,
during very wet May, he discovered
a hive which had been working Well
previously whose tenants seemed to be
dead. but by putting a few Of them
into his hand and breathing upon them
for several minutes he at last observed
some motion at the second joint Of
their horns. By persevering he re.
vived them all. and they became the
best hive in his garden. he Is. how
ever. careful to remark that those who
use pomatum. perfume or hair powder
should not make too free with the in
sects during the process of restoration.
The secret. of course-though at one
time the thing was regarded as mirac.
ulous-is in the warmth conveyed; but.
besides this. there Is no doubt that bees
are reused by human breath. to which
they have such an antipathy that they
are much more easily handled If the
operator draws his breath gently and
takes care not to direct 1t against them.

The Rhodum sid.s,

An amusing story told by Hood de.
scribes how country nurseryman
made a large sum out of sales of a
simple little flower which he sold un.
der the name of the Rhodum sidus. This
charming name proved quite an at
traction to the ladies. and the flower
became the rage Of the season. 1t was
one OF those freaks of fashion for which
there is no accounting. At length a
botanist who found that the plant was
not an uncommon weed requested to
know where the nurseryman got the
name from. He elected the following
reply: Il found this flower in the road
beside Us, 50 christened it the Rhodum
sidus."

In a recent county competitive
grain contest in which nearly
every county in our sister state,
North Dakota, was represented,
Billings county, which adjoins
Dawson on the east, won first
prize, G. E. Barber being the
successful farmer. This certain
ly reflects credit upon Dawson
county as "the difference is just
the same" between the two coun-
tles-only the state line dividing
them. This is twice successively
that Mr.. Barber has won this
prize for Billinggs county-a and

whom the margin in favor of the

however, and much can be ac-
