Painfully Polite.

Lieutenant Shackleton in a speech in
reply to the toast of his health told an
interesting story of politeness in the
untrodden regions of the antarctic.
His party, he said, were always eX-
tremely good humored and polite, and
one professor in particular attained
degree of poiteness unusual under
such trying circumstances. Are you
busy, Mawson?" he called out one
night to another member of the party
who was in the tent Il am" said
Mawson. Every busy?" said the pro-
fessor. Yes, very busy" "If you
are not too busy, Mawson, | am down
Il crevasse." The professor was found
hanging down Il crevasse by his four
fingers, Il position which he could not
have occupied for any length of time.

Bee-keepinq Notes.

If your colonies are very weak make
the entrance so small that nothing
larger than a bee can enter, to keep
robbers out.
Bees store pollen at the side Of the
brood nest, in the coolest part of the
hive The honey always stored above
the brood, in the warmest part of the
hive.
The bee is almost helpless when
she issues from her cell, but in two
weeks is full grown, and able to do a
full days work. Her first days are
put in about the hive learning house
keeping.
When bees leave their own home.
each one fills her honey sack. SO as
to be provided for the journey.
There are few localities where fruit
and crops are not benefited by COL
onies of bees.
A bright woman on capital Of 500
after the first year, earned from $500
to $500 annually by keeping bees.
The drone is large stingless bee,
with a tongue too short to gather
honey. AS each queen mates but
once, consequently only one drone is
essential to ever swarm.
The supply of beeswax is never
equal to the demand.
Bees will travel long distance for
stores, but the wise man will SOW
clover, alfalfa and buckwheat at
hand.-Farmers' Home Journal.

CHOICE MISCELLANY

Blanche Bates, who is Il practical
farmer off the stage, tells funny
story apropos of two elderly negroes
whom she recently employed to take
charge of the extensive poultry Yards
she has established on her big farm
near Ossining, n. Y.
These men, Noah Jackson aud Alex
ander Johnston, are importaIions from
Dinwiddie county, Va, region fa-
nous for the cheapness and plentiful
ness of its eggs and poultry. Down
there eggs sell in summer at anywhere
from s cents to II cents per dozen
and rarely ever rise higher than 10
cents in the winter. When they were
told that Miss Bates egg product com

Robber Bees.

1t is where two colonies sitting
side by side are at full flight at the
same time that mixing of bees comes
about.
After setting out it sometimes hap
very warm, that the first set out will
commence to rob or carry off the
stores of those set out last, which are
so busy with their cleansing flights
they they do not seem to notice the

Robbing is not always confined to
such colonies, but all weak colonies,
whether wintered in the cellar or
otherwise, are SUBJECT to be attacked

CA Play in One Act and Che Scene. by G. B. Pshaw. With PrefaceD
 Curtain rises, discovering young woman seated or a mission chair in a Queen Anne drawing room with a Louis Quatorze table and a Louis Seize bookcase. There are few books in the case, mostly the works of G. B. Pshaw. The girl is dressed in oXi- dized green silk, a voluminous skirt being draped gracefully. and her lace waist fits her snUgiy. Her labored breathing indicates that she is either a victim of tight facing or is strug- ging with repressCd emotion She must subtly convey to the audience the impression that she is expecting caller whom she wishes to see and still wishes would not come The caller, it can be seen, is a young man who has been wooing her Ior a org time. She abstractedly breaks an ivory ian into fragments and is picking her teeth with one of them when the young man enters. He parts his hair away down on one side, wears Iearl gray trousers, black frock coat and a puff scarf and othervi betravs his affection for her.

Too Much Political Jobbery.

This extravaganza is the result OF
increasingly expensive political ma,
chinery. 1t is not directly chargeable
to anyone. There is no direct re-
sponsibility of the parties who have
charge of these expenditures, no fear
of disapproval. 1t is the taxpayers
money. 1t comes and it goes easy.
"Our advocates of greater military
expenses tell us we are too great, TOO
rich and too strong to fear any trouble
over governmental expenses, but we
are now running behind and ont only
devising new methods of taxation, but
are selling government bonds to take
care of the deficit. The question is
not one of the future, but of the pres
ent. We are making the initial mis-
take of older countries across the sea.

fields of the Mississippi valley and
