FOR BEGINNERS WITH BEES.
Little Expense for the Farmer to KEEP
Few.

At very little expense, particularly
when compared to the profit, few
colonies of bees can be kept on nearly
any farm. Nature showers her sweets
freely and they can easily be gathered
by the industrious bees and converted
into pure honey. In bee raising, as In
everything else, attention must be paid
to the business. BY caring properly
for the bees and using only approved
methods the supply of honey can be
greatly increased and the quality can
be improved SO that high price may
be obtained for the honey. Where
the household duties do not tell too
heavily on the women folks the work
Of bee raising may be turned over to
them. They are better adapted to the
work than the average man, and BE-
sides-they need the money. An r.
perienced bee raiser suggests that be-
ginners may establish themselves In
the bee business for the following ex-

Memories Of Youth Awakened-0ur
Girls and Boys Just Like Their
Parents Were.
There is nothing more pathetic on
earth than the urchin who stands
outside that Big Tent, views his
companions blithely pass before
him to enter paradise, while all the
time the hideous consciousness is
his that he has not been able to
muster the price of admission. He
may grow up later to be great
and good man, and become Presi-
dent of the United States, but he
does not care for that now-he
would give all his chances in this
world for the possession of the lit
tie slip OF cardboard which would
put him face to face with the glee-
some, fleasome baboon. If you
meet any such wistful hangers-on
Hearts Desire, and are moved by
tie memories of your youth to pass
him in, you will do a better deed
than if you found him hungry in the
street and fed him. for he will di-
gest the meal and need another
before long, but a circus is worth
missing many meals to see.
So go to the circus, and don't
be so ashamed of wanting to go that
YOU make the excuse that you are
Just going to take care OF the chill
dren. Admit that you like it. Go
and eat peanuts, and laugh at the
clown and feel young and happy
again. The clown is another test.
He will be, to all intents and pur-
poses, the first clown that you ever
saw; and he will have the same
jokes; but if you attend in the prop
e. spirit, you will laugh in the
same old places. The clown is not
meant to minister to your sense Of
humor; his is the higher function
Of testing the degree of youth which
you retain.

Scotland has been famous for its
horses from the most ancient days.
When AgriGola defeated the Caledo-
mans at the battle of the Grampians,
A. D. 81, the Celtic enemy, as Tacitus
relates, We're exceptionally strong in
cavalry and charioteers. Successive
kings of Scotland did much to improve
its native breed of horses, and in this
connection it is not to be forgotten
that the first Scottish king of Eng
land James l., did more to improve
the race horses in our island than was
ever done before him or has ever been
done by any individual since. James
1. was the real author of horse racing
as it has since been known in England.
He it was who first established regu-
lar courses, and during his reign there
came into being the code of regula'
lions that led up to the modern laws of
the turf. Nobody denies that horse
racing has done much for the breed OF
British horses. 1t was gift from
standardization Answers.

males and three females have been

account of the fact that morphine

many years, but it has not been OPP

the proposition thoroughly with the

know that in 1881 the Connecticut
River Steamboat Company began
business and established a through
line of fiat boats, towed by tugs
from Hartford, Conn, to Wells
River, VT. This was before the day
of railroads. At one time there was
a project of building a canal from
Boston to Albany. and they built
some locks near Bellows Falls. The
canal was never finished. The
steamboat company utilized the
locks to get around Bellows Falls.
The steamboat company did not
continue long. I met lady a short

who said she saw the boats when
