A Delicate Test.

Oysters are more susceptible to out
side odors and Aavors than anything
else one can think of. 1t is therefore
interesting to note the following testi-
monial from OF the most prominent
chefs in Birmingham, Ala. He writes:

roll-top desk with a bang. permitted the
messenger to adjust his overcoat and
present his hat, and then trod forth
to meet his fellow townsmen, says a
Concord IN. j. dispatch to the New
York Herald. Instead of going out the
front door Of the city hall, however,
Mayor French took a short cut that
led through a dark hallway past the
back entrance of a theater.
While the mayor in the city hall was
throwing of the shackles of official
are a wrestling bear in the theater
was busy throwing off the shackles OF
a more material nature, and as b
mayor put on his overcoat the bear
shed its leather collar. So it came
about that as the mayor entered b
dark hallway at end, the bear en-
tered it at another. The mayor has
q great respect for bears, but this
bear had no respect at all for mayors.
In the darkness the mayor felt a
powerful OBTAINING force laid upon his
arm.
Sir" he said, in chilly tones, III

call at my office in the morning"
"Ur-g-rr," was the unpleasantly
harsh response.
MY man" began the mayor, but
he stepped right there, for a furry arm
was thrown about his neck, and a
rough tongue made a demonstration,
which, If it was intended for a kindly
salute, failed utterly of its purpose
1ith the mayor.

is companion showed no disposition

~savagely with his free hand, and with
such painful precision, that the bear,
smitten on the nose, loosed Its hold
and fell back a step.
Content with this temporary victory,
the mayor sped asilely back yer the
route he had just traversed, shouting:
Bear! Bear!" at every jump. In cor
roboratioh of his alarm, the bear gal
Ioped along behind, bound not to be de-
serted by his new friend. The mayor
was the first to reach an open door,
through which he sped just in time to
be able to close 1t in the face Of his
pursuer.
The bear was led back into captiv-
ity by the theater employees.

The Tariff Burden

.sSW lea olales.
In the discussion Of the tariff ques-
ton Senator Bacon. of Georgia, oe-
voted some attention to the intolera-
, le burden which the Republican prln-
ciple of a protective tariff imposes upon
he American people. The Georgia
Senator declared that for every doiiar
tariff duty thai reaches the govern
raent treasury the people pay seven
dollars in the shape OF increased
nrices in the cost of every article tney
purchase.
Senator Bacon says these figures
have been estimated upon a consersa-
tive basis and they explain why tne
ecst Of living has mounted SO nign
curing the time the Dingley law mas
,,een on the statute books. the 1act
that every time the tariff duty brings
+, one dollar to the public treasury
The people are required to pay SIX
dollars to the manufacturers, ought
TO give the people a pretty clear eApia-
r.+,or of the cause of the enormous
development of trust enterprises anu
swollen fortunes among the tarin pro-
+o.+od m~aenetes of the country dur
ing the same period.
In other words, under the pre'eA'
ri a tariff for reyenue purposes 'ne
,avenues to 70 to the government, the
real purpose of the Dingley tarin IS
shown to be for revenue purposes the
evenu to go to the support OF 0
interests that furnished the Repuo-
,icar party with money to conduct the
noHtical campaign. To put the ques-
zion another way; the Dingiey Ia"
conpels the people to support the gov
eminent. but in arranging the TAX
thew have so adjusted it that for every
dollar Of the peoples money that nnds
its way into the national treasury SIX
dollars slip by and find their way ihto
the pockets Of the protected interests.
Groaning under the burden OF this
Infamous system of robbery under the
form of law the people demand a re-
vision Of the tariff downwards. They
were promised such a reduction by
the republican leaders during the last
campaign and, pleading announcer
chance in order that the tarin might
he revised by its friends" the Re
publican party was returned to pow
ar under promise that the party pledg-
a would be carried out speedily by
Congress assembled in extraordinary
seseion. Practically two months OF
tho time Of that extra session have
been taken up in a strenuous enor

the Dingley tariff, in shameless VIC
lasion Of the pledge to the people FOR
. reduction of tariff duties.
The protected interests Of the coun'
try are determined upon not giving up
the privilege they enjoy OF exactine
heavy forced contributions upon the
American people; and, unfortunately
for the peple, these interests seem to
have sufficient power in Congress to
enforce their demand that this robbery
under The FERNS of law snail. be per

The best time to transfer combs
and bees is from April l5 to May l.
At this time the combs are light and
is but fairly started, consequently the
work is quickly accomplished, with
out the loss of brood and a dauby
mess Of wasting honey, AS is the case
when combs become filed with new
honey, and brood-rearing is in an ad-
vanced stage.
Conditions differ so widely that no
localities. / would, however, make
this suggestion, that wherever early
blooming trees are present such as
soft naples and elms, it. will not be
necessary to feed meal; for when 1t
becomes warm enough fOr the bees to
fly freely, these trees will be found
to yield pollen in abundance. l would
set the combs from which the bees
have died during winter in an empty
hive body, and place hem under a
strong colony and close up all open
ings except the entrance under the
lower body, compelling the bees to
pass over the unoccupled combs con-
tinually when leaving or entering
their hive. In this way the combs
will be kept free from the wax mouth
until such time as they can be used
for swarms or some other purpose.
When the queen gets crowded for
space in the upper body she will go
down and commence laying eggs in
the empty combs below. These combs
of Matching brood can be used to great
advantage in building up weak col
onies or making nuclei.

The Boy Told the Truth.

Justice Brewer, of the United States
Supreme Court, says that 1t is usually
an easy matter to pick out the truth
among a lot of conflicting evidence.
BY way Of illustration he tells the
following incident. which took place In
little village near New York:
"A house-hunter. who had just got
of the train. stepped up to boy
hanging around the depot, with this
salutation:
"'My lad, / am looking for Mr..
Smithson's new block Of semi-detach.
ed houses. How far are they from
here"
"'About twenty minutes walk the
boy replied.
Twenty minutes!' exclaimed the
house hunter. Nonsense! The adver-
tisement says Ave.
WELL said the boy, you can be.
lieve me or you can believe the ad.
vertisement but amt tryin' to make

Bees Need Water.

In the spring the bees require large
quantities Of water; it frequently
happens, in early spring, that they are
compelled to go to the creek or to
some quiet, ice-covered pond, and in
filling themselves with the ice-cold
water they become so chilled that
many fail to ever reach the hive. To
avoid this, place a few wooden pals
or dishes filled with warm water at
convenient places in the bee-yard;
putting in few wooded floats, that
the bees may be enabled to keep on
more or less secure footing Avoid
tin or glass dishes. as the slippery
sides will bring about the destruc-
ton of many bees life.

The Green Maid.

When the thermometer dropped be.
low zero Mrs. Rogers was much dis
turbed by the thought that Huldah,
the new kitchen maid. slept In an un-
heated room.
"Huldah," she said. remembering
the good old custom of her girlhood,
'it's going to be pretty cold tonight.
/ think you had better take a fiatiron
to bed with you"
"Yes, ma'am," asented Huldah, with.
out enthusiasm.
Mrs. Rogers, happy in the belief
that her maid was comfortable, slept
soundly. In the morning she visited
the kitchen.
well, Huldah. how did you get

Huldah breathed a deep sigh of
recollection.

Bee Stlnas.

Everyone who handles bees will get
stung, but It need not be very often.
Do not irritate them, be steady in
your motions, don't blow or breath
hard, avoid all jars or knocks in or
about the hive, also loud talking and
do not crush any bees. Bees sting a
great deal more when there is nothing
for them to do. After honey flow
always have your face protected, by
a bee veil and have smoker burning,
but do not use 1t any more than 1t ia
absolutely necessary.

MODEL BEE HIVES.
Reforms Need to Perfect Homes Of
the Honey Makers,


Beautiful models of hives, Of fine
finish and paint, which disregard util-
ity and convenience of beekeepers and
give the bees vast amount of extra
labor in gathering what We term "bee
glue" with which they brace up,
strengthen and support the little thin
sections and frames so that they will
support the weight of the honey when
filled, are very nice and aid in the
sale Of the honey, but are great loss
Of time for the bees, and reason die
tates that there should be a radical
change, giving larger and stronger
sections and frames and saving the
bees from loss of much time, and the
beekeepers the expense Of renewing
them annually.
Another much needed reform is that
frames should be shorter and of great
er depth than the now standard
frames and sections, for the reason
that it will require a much smaller
number of the bees to remain in the
hive and cluster over the young
brood, consequently there would be a
greater number of bees in the field
and a greater number Of young bees
would be raised. The more bees there
are in a colony. the greater quantity
of honey they will gather and store
during each honey flow. ard the great
er is their ambition to work and the
less do they fear the robber bees and
moth flies. A colony of despondent
bees exercise but little energy, loses
its fighting disposition and will not re-
sist a moth fly. l have found them
dwelling harmoniously together in the
same hive. in a few instances.
Another popularity Of bees is very
remarkable; they have such rever'
ence for their queen that If the colony
dies from starvation she is about the
last bee that dies in the colony. 1t
seems that they give her the lions
share of their rations. | presume that
she is possessed of greater vitality
and tenacity of life than the worker
bees.
l am not troubled with robber bees
in the least-in fact, | give them NO
thought unless when they attack a
queenless colony. If So transfer the
bees into another colony.-J. w.
Thomas.

Take TIme by tho ForeIoek.

The wide-awake farmer does not
wait until his bees have swarmed and
are clustered on tree-top before he
thinks of preparing a hive for them.
All preparatory work, such as max
ing and painting hives. wiring brood
frames and getting the section boxes
ready for the anticipated honey crop,
should be done at leisure times dur
