The value of education is not often

ard. To boys and girls who do not

many ways and to what extent good

very impressive, and it was for that
reason that Mr.. J. H. Hazen, assist
ant principal Of a New York city

marks before an assembly Of high

Kings Who Turned 10 Teaching TO
Make Living.
(London Answers.)

tLoEccn answers
In the early part of the life of King
Christian TX, Of Denmark, there was
no prospect of his ever becoming the
ruler of that country. With this in
view he became schoolmaster at
the German university of Halle.
Being too poor to keep a servant,
the Dowager Czarina Dagnar of
Russia, one Of his daughters, used to
to help her mother to do the house
hold work and take care of the
younger children. During this pc
riod there were King Frederick VII,
and several others in the direct line
of succession that stood before
Prince Christian; but, by success
sion of deaths that occurred, he be-
came the heir apparent, and after
the death of King Frederick VII, in
1863, he was proclaimed King Chris
tian TX Of Denmark.
Another instance of similar ma
ture is that of Louis Philippe. Dur
ing the time he was exiled from
France, then being the Due de Chart
res, ne became teacher of mathe-
mates and geography in Switzer-
land. About thirty-six or. thirty
seven years aftcrward, on August
8, 1880, he was proclaimed KING
Louis Philippe of the French.

A Hive Worth as Much as a Gov.

II. H. MeLendon. in Progressive Farmer.
No farm is complete in its conven-
fences and business methods with
out few colonies of Italian bees
comfortably housed in most conven-
lent hive. Honey is one of the
farmers most valuable assets, and in
many places dozen colonies will
gather seventy-five to 100 gallons of
honey during q single season, worth
IN many places seventy-five cents a
gallon. All the bee wants is a NOV
able frame hive, in which the honey
is stored in convenient manner for
the farmer to get at any hour he
may wish to have honey and butter
for supper.
Thousands of gallons of the very
"quintesssence of sweetness" as an
old bee keeper used to say, is lost in
the country for the want of a place
to store it. A real strong colony of
Italian bees is worth as much in a
year to family as an ordinary Jer-
sey cow is worth. Bees make the
corn and cotton better by mixing the
pollen of the different flowers, there.
by making the seed larger and heav-
Ter, insuring greater terminating
power. Farmers, if they desired,
By providing ample storage space for
the bees could raise honey to sop
both sides of their bread every day in
the year and not trouble to make
syrup. Honey has valuable meiic-
inal properties that no other sweet
has.
