tic beauty that ii at once appealed to
his carefully-fostered artistic and pho

here running swift and deep, crept
into sheltered cove, over which the
foliage dropped in long and graceful
festoons, and its slender current was
spanned by an old moss-grown log.

her untrammeled by her grasp, but
he only succeeded in dealing her 4
terrific blow in the face with his ell

Railway accidents have been usually
ascribed to insufficient equipment
Prof F. II. Dixon, in an article in the
Atlantic Monthly, concludes that the
real difficulty Is not mechanical but
human. 1t is not the failure or the
lack Of the block signal that causes
the trouble, nor would the installation
of automatic stops and other devices
cure the evil. THE fundamental
weakness of American railroading
from the standpoint of safety is the
widespread and almost universal lack
of discipline" This conclusion ac-
cords with the experience of the race.
Disciplined armies poorly equipped
have triumphed over armies well ac-
conferred and provisioned, but lacking
in discipline. It is likely, however
that railroad employees will point out
Ct once that the lack of discipline be-
gins in the poor generalship of the
managers who demand impossible
things of their soldiers.

BEST KIND OF HIVE.
M Not Use the Box Hive Because 1t
is Hard to Get At.

Box hives, says Farm and Home,
are not advised Even though you
now think you will never open a
hive you may change your mind, and
then it will be better to have had
moyable-frame hives from the start.
Your bees may fall into the hands of
someone who will great prefer the
movable frames A colony in box
hive may be queenless; you are help
less: the colony is doomed. With
movable frames you can easily deter
mine the condition of the colony and
supply a queen, If lacking.
There is no longer any patent on
the movable frame and good work
may be done with any one of the diff
ferent forms. The idea that If you
adopt a certain make of hive you will
get an extra amount of honey is all
fol.de-rol. Hives don't gather and
store honey; bees do that. One of the
simplest as we'll as one of the best is
the dovetailed hive, so called because
its corners are locked together for
greater strength. 1t is the most pop
