Hum of the Hive.

Remember that bees crawl up in
stead of down.
Send your honey to the market in
rs attractive form as possible.
Stand at the side of the hive and not
in front of it while handling your
bees.
Be sure that your bees have good
prolific Italian queen, and the ants
will not bother them.
The honey extractor saves the bees
much time in comb building, and thus
the beekeeper can secure more honey.
Improve your bees by always rear
ing queens and increasing from col
onies that have gathered the most
honey.
A large number of farmers are en-.
gagged extensively in honey production.
Some of them ship over a car of honey
each season.
Heartsease was formerly not worth
considering as a honey plant because
of its scarcity, but of late years it has
become plentier, and now it Is worth
many dollars; same with dandelion.
Honey and wax were never in great
er demand than at the present time
and beekeeping bids fair to take II
higher rank among the productive in
dustrieS than has hitherto been accord
ed it,
The present improved system Of
management requires that hives should
not stand too near each other. There
should be at least six feat between
them, and ten would be a preferable
distance
A bee expert gives away this little
secret: If bees are kept in a shed the
crossest Of them can be handled with
out fear OF being stung. A bee shed
ought to be long enough 10 give at
least two feet 10 each hive and sutfi-
ciently wide and high, 80 that one can
work comfortably back of the row of
hives. 1t should open preferably to
the east, 30 as TO get the morning air.
Cleaning and casing honey must be
done IN a well lighted place and a
large bench or table provided for 1t.
The shipping cases to receive the
honey should be placed 50 as 10 face
the packer and should be arranged SC
no propohs from scraping Will fly into
them. 1t 10 desirable to have several
cases for each grade on the bench, SO
that honey of the same shade and fin
ish may go into the same case.

"Yes," said Mrs. Catchem, "those are
my daughters over there on the sofa
They have half a million between
them"
1t was not until they were married
to those daughters that the young men
who overheard the remark found out
that Mrs. Catchem referred to the
rich old gentleman who sat on the
sofa between the girls. Mrs. Catchem
could not tell lie, but she knew how
to speak the truth to the best advan-
tage.

Tales of Cities.

At a cost of about $2,5OO,OOO the
German city of Hamburg is building
twin tunnels under the River Elbe for
vehicles and pedestrians.
In London today there are 10000
fewer paupers than there were year
ago, as a consequence of which at
least one big workhouse is to be let or
sold.
Quebec is a city without pawnbro-
kers, the last person in that business
having died about thirty years ago
Since that time, it is said, no person
has applied for a license. The high
license fee is held responsible to con-
siderable extent for this unusual state
of affairs.

Not many people know that Thomas
jefferson was a great inventor. His in
ventions were all of articles of every
day use. He devised a three legged
folding camp stool that is the basis of
all camp STOOLS Of that kind today.
The stool he had made for his own
use was hts constant companion on oc-
casions of outings. The revolving chair
was his invention Hs designed light
wagon. A copying press was devised
by him and came into general use.
He Also invented an instrument for
measuring the distance he walked. A
plow and a hemp cufttvator showed
that his thoughts were often on agrt
cultural matters. His plow received a
gold medal IN France in 1870. Jeffer-
son never benefited financially by his
inventions, but believed they should
be for the use of everyone without
cost.

New York, Aug. 15.-In between

asked:
"Why don't we go all the way to the
sky and be done with it?'
He was then only matter of forty
four floors up. The view from the
tower was somewhat obstructed by
the hazy atmosphere, but he was up
for an hour and a half and seemed to
take in the whole show with much
zest.
While watching the tiny forms far
below him a young girl who bad a
camera turned it toward him. The gal
liant sailorman doffed his hat-an an

Dutch Farmers For Southern
Maryland.

The announcement that Mr.. Trap
pc, the secretary OF the State Immi-
grafton Bureau. is meeting with
success in Holland in his efforts 10
induce Dutch farmers to come to
Maryland is encouraging. 1t is re-
ported that q colony Of these farmers
is to be established in st. Mary's
county near the mouth of the Patux-
ent river. That is o fine country
and there is rich land there. Hol-
land is one of the most densely popu-
lated countries in the world, and
in order TO support that population
the land must be well titled. This
necessity has made The Dutch most
excellent and careful farmers, and
the more of them that can be brought
TO Southern Maryland the better.
Perhaps the example OF these peo-
pie would teach the Southern Mary
land planters TO cultivate crops that
require less capital and labor than
the tobacco crop. The cultivation
OF tobacco was well adapted to slave
labor because it gave occupation to
the slaves every month in the year.
But where labor has to be hired by
the day or month the less the farm
or has to hire the better be is of,
the crops being the same. Balti-
