Col. Sawyer, of Hyde Park, takes
just pride in the fact that he is "still
in the fesh,' withstanding that
in a statement recently published he
was left out of the list of the surviv-
ing list Of Vermont colonels who were
commissioned in the civil war. The
colonel, in spite of his seventy-tive
odd years, is very much alive and his
rugged form and sound constitution
indicate that he is good for several
years yet. Col. B. N. Hyde, another
Lamoille county colonel, is also left
out of that list, yet late reports from
him in his Pennsylvania home are
that he is still among the living, with
indications of tarrying here some
time yet.

Thus far two towns, Bakersfield
and Braintree, which voted license
at the March meeting, are to have a
special meeting to see what kind OF
liquor will be sold-liquors of all
kinds or malt liquor only. We have
never heard of any good coming
from any of these "after-meetings."
IF a town, by indifference or other
wise, votes license, it is best to ac-
cept the result and correct the mis-
take if there be one-neXt time.
Don't cry baby but remember that
the majority rules in this case as in
all others.

A Rise by SaIf-Sacr;fice

Enough has been said of the fall

self-sacrifice began the life of self
sacrifice in humanity. 1.-THE glory of

burdens and by this revelation lifted
men slowly to life Of mutual help

victim of Calvary The future social

Enough has been said of holiness

The Bumble Bee.

this summer in noting that at all the
Chautauqua schools great interest in
nature study has been manifest.
Many lecturers have given the stinged
insects much credit for the work they
do in making life better and easier for
the human race. The lecturers easily
proved that the humble bee was that
friend, but did not have time to speak
of the home life of that bee.

colony of humble bees has been
burned sin it's homes by people who
had no idea they were destroying
their friends. There are not one
tenth as many humble bees in the ag-
ricultural districts as there were in
my boyhood days. More is the pity,
for twenty-five years from now colon
les of humble bees will be valued at
from twenty-five to fifty dollars each
in agricultural and horticultural dis
tricts.
The female humble lives from two
to five years and has her stinger to
protect her in fighting life's battles.
The male has no stinger because he
has no battles to fight. He is born in
June, lives in luxurious life amongst
the flowers until frost time. He is
then married, and always goes from
his wedding trip to his grave His
widow goes into a dormant condition,
usually one or two inches below the
family home and so remains until the
following spring. The usual number
of female bees so alternating in a
home is about ten to seventeen. Her
hope is that she may have sufficient
strength in the spring to reach the lit
tie cups of stored honey above her
head, and feasting thereon for two or
three days, go out into the world and
make new home for herself and her
children to be-
The time will come when those
homes will be provided during the
winter time and placed In proper po-
sitions for the widows use.
We are now using old felt hats torn
into shreds, and other soft material,
for filling humble bee boxes. We use
that kind of material for the reason
that the humble bee first makes but
one cell and likes to make that sur
rounded by very soft material, so
that as she makes the other cells she
may easily make room in her nest
The boxes are made eight inches high
and one foot square, out Of old we'll
worn lumber. The entrance holes are
made one-fourth of an inch in diam
eter, large enough for the bees, but
too small for other animals. The box
es are just put carelessly along the
fences Of clover fields and orchards.
