DEATHS HEAD IN THE PULPIT,

An extraordinary story comes from
Geblingen, a small town not very far
from Metz. 1t reads like parody OF
Hamlet in the pulpit The priest
OF this place had been worked into
state of great indignation by the loose
attitude towards sacred things dis
played by the youth of both sexes be-
longing to his parish. A short time
ago when mass was over the priest
appeared in the pulpit determined to
read his flock severe lesson. From
under his robe he produced a skull,
and, to the terror of the congregation,
held 1t up before them. Then he be-
gan to address the grim relic.
Art thou the skull of maid or Of
YOUTH" he asked. Art TnUr 8 1rUe-
band or a wife? Didst thou live in
Geblingen? Are any of thy relatives
in this church? Vert thou drunk
ard? Art thou in heaven or in hell?'
Then after pause he again address
ed the skull. IF thou art in hell
give me no answer" The preacher
received no answer, a proof that the
former owner of the skull was in hell.
Weak-minded people tainted, and at
the conclusion of the sermon the con-
gregation filed out pale and excited,
and not likely to forget that particu
lar sermon for long time.

BOYS EXTRAORDINARY CRIME

An extraordinary crime has been
committed in a country place in
France by a small boy, nine years of
age, who killed his baby brother only
ten months old because, he said, the
baby cried too much The two chill
dren were in farmhouse, whilst
the mother was lying on the floor I'M
conscious from drink. The boy was
IN another room with the baby. A
neighbor happened to pass, when the
boy ran out to him, and said, 81 think
that baby is dead" When the neigh
Dor entered he found the child dead in
the cradle with it's skull smashed,
and about twenty knife-cuts. The
boy first said that the baby had fallen
and struck its head against the wall,
but when closely questioned the blurt-
ed out that he had killed his little
brother. He was trying to sleep, he
said, when the baby started to cry.
He was unable to quiet it, and then
he got angry, and struck it on the
head with a hammer, besides stab
bing 1t with a table knife all over the
body.

TO INTRODUCE A QUEEN BEE
Convenience and Advantage of Potts
Cages Are petaiIed-Used as
Cell Protectors.

(By JOSEPH GRAY Long Eaton. Eng
land)
l use Potts Queen-cages, which can
also be used as cell-protectors or nur-
series. The difference between these
and the regular Benton cages are:
1. The candy-hole is made from the
end, using only half-inch bit.
2. A half-inch hole is made through
the side into the center compart-
ment.
8. The top and side covers are OF
perforated metal, and cut so that they
do not catch the clothing.
4. These covers are put on with n
screw, which serves as a hinge, and
can be frightened with one turn of the
screwdriver, so that the imprisoned
bees cannot force open the doors and
escape. which l have seen them do
when laid down temporarily.
The convenience and advantage of
these cages will be readily seen in the
following operations:
Go to your nucleus colony and pick
up the comb with the queen; grasp it
with the left hand, also hold your
queen cage with the same hand, your
thumb over the opened side door
Now with the right hand pick off your
queen and she will easily pass
through the half-inch door. A three
eighth or quarter inch is not nearly
SO convenient. You can cage as many
bees as you wish, with seldom a sting
The covers are SO cut that they will
not catch the clothing and pull open
on the way to the out-apiary.

DWARF AND GIANT BEES

In some of the East Indian islands
and on the mainland Of Hindustan are
to be found the smallest race of honey
bees in the world. These dwarf honey
collectors are known to entomologists
as Apis f1orea. Their honey combs are
no larger than child's hand, and the
cells are about the size of a. small
pin head. This honey is excellent, as
is the wax. The little creatures build
the combs on the branch of low tree,
and as they have not to provide for
winter they work all the year through,
raising broods like themselves.
In this same land there is a race
of giant bees, Apis dorsata, as large as
field crickets. These monsters of the
bee world build honey combs that are
from six TO seven feet in length, four
or more feet in width, and which weigh
from 800 to 400 each.

DEATH WARNING BY A CHILD.

A very curious incident happened in
en- English country town recently, in
which man was warned of the death
of his father. In relating the exper-
fence he says: My father had been in
hospital for some considerable time,
but was in his usual health, so far as
we knew, when we retired for the
night.
In the morning our lad, aged FIVE
years. looked up and astonished us by
saying: 'Daddie, grandpa is dead.
saw ticket up at the hospital saying
he Is dead"
Beyond the usual comment no fur
Their notice was taken. In less than an
hour, however, l had a message by
phone informing me that my father
had passed away about midnight. My
little son had got the warning in some
mysterious form, and conveyed it to
me as best he could. How it got i'm
pressed on his young mind I am I'M
able to say, but the facts are indis-
putable."

trust me, you know, because l am a
stranger! because the minute this
crazy quarantine is raised l am of to
the Argentine Republic" (perhaps he
said Child "and because 1 don't know
anything at all about you. You see,
have to believe what you tell me,
having no personal knowledge of any
of you to go on. Now tell me-whom
have you hidden in the cellar, besides
the policeman"
There was no use trying to deceive
him: He was looking straight into my
eyes. So 1 decided to make the best
of bad thing. Anyhow, 1t was going
to require strength to get Bella
through the coal hole with one arm
and restrain the policeman with the
other.
Come" I said, making sudden
resolution, and led the way down the
stairs.
He said nothing when he saw Bella,
for which was grateful. She was sit
ting at the table, with her arms in
front of her, and her head buried in

Her hat and veil laid beside her, and
she had taken of her coat and draped

and had evidently had a little supper.

self gray-headed about her!
''She-she came in unexpectedly

ordinary. However, we can try. She
seems very comfortable. It's a pity to
rouse her"
Here the prisoner in the furnace

as though he had taken a lump of coal
and was attacking the lock. Mr.. Har-
bison followed the noise. aud I could
hear him arguing, not gently.

CAT NURSING A RAT

Cats and rats are commonly regard
ed as Inevitable enemies, but a story
comes from Scotland of an instance In
which this hatred has given place to
warm affection. The other day while
potatoes we're being lifted In Glen
feshire Forest, near Kingussie, one of
the workers came on a rats nest con-
tanning number of young ones. These
were promptly dispatched with the ex-
ception of one, which the finder re-
tanned. Shortly afterwards the baby
rat was adopted by a cat which at
the time was nursing kittens. Instead
Of devouring the rat, as one would
expect, pussy quietly gave it a place
beside her own offspring, bestowing
upon the newcomer as much care and
affection as she formerly devoted to
her own family. At the time of writ
ing the rat was still under pussy's
maternal care.

NEW USE FOR BEEHIVE HAT.

Two young smartly dressed Partisan
ladies, wearing large beehive hats, ar
rived at Bellegarde the other night in
the GeneYa-Paris express. They de-
clared nothing and ostentatiously
opened their baggage at the depot
An official, however, noticed that they
seemed to experience much difficulty
in balancing their large hats on their
heads, and the ladies were requested
to pass into private room, where
their headgear was examined The
roofs of the beehiyes contained not
honey, but saccharine packed in an
alright box fitted ingeniously into the
hat. On the ladies paying heavy
fine they were allowed to continue
the Journey minus the saccharine. but
retaining their hats, which might have
been confscated also.

With the increasing education of
farmers children and the increasing
intellectual and social life in farm
homes the use Of artificial light In
farm homes is increasing, and the
money economy, but more the SAM
tary economy, of artificial lighting is
Of increasing Importance. Nor may
the aesthetic element, the effect on
life Of attractive lighting, be left IN
considered.
All kerosene lights without mantle
are very unlike daylight, hard on the
eyes, and hence likely to produce
pain and nervous irritation and In

NOTEs.SS
Burned lime and manure should not

Burned lime and manure should not
be mixed above ground.
No farmer can afford to be without
a covered storage for manure.
If necessary to feed bees in mid.
winter, better feed candy.
Never feed scorched sugar in the
winter, as it will kill the bees.
If you do not own good tanning
mill you are the loser thereby.
A silo Is feet in diameter and "a
feet high will hold approximately Sc
tons Of silage.
It is a mistake to SOW alfalfa upon
land not containing the bacteria which
live upon it's roots.
Ammonia is a nitrogen compound
and the nitrogen is the most valuable
part of the manure.
II you have poor honey. say go;
never lie about your own goods nor,
about your neighbours.
A very large proportion of our soils
need to be put back in the humus con-
dition they we're in originally.
Nearly all bee-keepers advocate
good stock in bees, bat there is a di-
versity Of opinion as to the best way
to get the best stock.
A good celery fertilizer must be rich
In nitrogen and potash.
If manure is left in piles about the
barn it soon begins to heat, even in
winter, especially If it contains any
large proportion of horse manure.
While the loss of ammonia from the
manure heap can be materially re-
duced by tight packing, more or less
is bound to be formed under the best
packing possible.
If the manure can be hauled upon
ground where there is no danger OF
its being washed away, the most
economical plan is to spread it upon
the land as quickly as it is produced.
