Beekeepino in America.

Bees were unknown to the Indians,
but they were brought over from Eng
land only few years after the land
ing Of the pilgrim fathers. 1t was
more than two centuries after the first
white invasion of New England, how
ever, before modern beekeeping be-
gan. The industry Of the present day
dates from the invention of the NOV
able-frame hive by Langstreth in 1852.

A Limited Censorship.

What the censor cannot do is to
give certificate of approval for the
public, and unless the public approves
his license is of no value at all. On
the other hand, he can deprive the
public of the opportunity to approve,
and in that power he is not protec-
ton, but a menace and a bar to mana
gers.-London Stage.

intellectual comnstltion.

Where intellectual vitality is perva-

competition among college men and
to make real mental eminence
ground of coveted distinction, would
be a superfuous task if the college
were discharging it's legitimate func-
tions.-New York Evening Post.

Swearing.

The real truth is that in a vast ma

She almost snached the keys and hurried over to the
