Bits About the Baby.

Nervousness may not be catalogued
as disease, but II 1t is not, 1t GER
tainly should lie.
The mother who is nervous will al
ways have a nervous baby, and unless
that baby is treated in the proper
manner the nerves will develop most
troublesome habits, to say the least.
Take, for instance, the case Of
young mother who cannot sleep we'll,
her child will not sleep either; he will
not grow as much as he should, nor
in the way he should. His food will
not agree with him, in the first place
and unless this trouble is corgDcted
early in his life, chronic indigestion
will certainly be his inheritance.
The lack Of sleep and poor assimlla'
ton of the food hs takes will produce
all sorts Of ailments, undermine the
health and arrest the natural devel
opment.
II the mother does not nurse the
baby--and it Is better for the nervous
anaemic mother not to attempt tt
then the selection Of proper food ia
a great problem. Cows milk modified
with barley water, is the best substi
tute for healthy breast milk, hui
sometimes the little stranger canno
take the cows milk. Then the bes
thing to do is to consult the docto'
and let him suggest whatever he ma!
| think is wise to use, instead.

VALUE OF POULTRY PRODUCTS
peor Methods Of Preparing and Mar
kstins Deprive PeAitryman Of
Much Of His Profits.
CBy F. H. sToNEBURN)


Poultry products Of various Enos
form one OF the greatest crops pro
duced upon American farms. The
ever increasing number Of farms and
plants devoted exclusively to poultry
keeping produce large amosn'A OF
high grade goods. although these are
lnconsiderabls when compared with
the vaSt supply coming from the small
Hoeks scattered upon the farms and
in the villages throughout the eoun-
try. Unquestionably the great bulk
Of poultry products has come In the
past from the latter sources, and this
condition Is likely to continue.
Many farmers eoncede that their
noeks OF poultry yield them a fair
profit. although any intelligent OBJ
server has but to spend short time
In investigating the great markets to
learn that poor methods OF preparing
and marketing alone prevent the pro-
Queer from receiving much greater re-
turns. The majority Of poultry raisers
/ fail to realize that their profits could
be largely increased, nrst, by the
production Of better and more uniform
goods; and second, by improved meth

the matter, for a pale-face not to
know more than a redskin.
The bees were some little time
In filling themselves. At length
one of them came out of his cell,
and was evidently getting ready
for his flight. Ben beckoned to the
spectators to stand farther back,
in order to give him fair chance,
and, Just as he had done SO, the
bee rose. After humming around
the stump for an instant, away
the insect flew, taking a course
almost at right angles to that in
which lie Bourbon had expected to
see it fly. 1t required half min
ute for him to recollect that this
little creature had gone off in a
line nearly parallel to that which
he had seen quit his original posit-
ion. The line led across the neigh
boring prairie, and any attempt to
follow these bees was hopeless.
But the second creature was also
soon ready land when it darted
away, lie Bourbon, to his manifest
delight, saw that it held his flight
toward the point of the swamp
into, or over which two of his first
captives had also gone. This set
tied the doubtful matter. Had the
hive Of these bees been beyond
that wood, the angle OF inter-
section would not have been there,
but at the hive across the prairie.
The reader will understand that
creatures which obey an instinct,
OF such a reason as bees pos
ess, would never make a curva-
ture in their flights without some
strong motive for il. Thus, two
bees taken from flowers that stood
half mile apart, would be GER
tain not to cross each others
tracks, in returning home, until
they met at the common hive: and
wherever the intersecting angle in
their respective flights may be,
there would that hive be also. AS
this repository Of sweets was the
game leBourdon had in view, it
is easy to see how much he was
pleased when the direction taken
by the last of his bees gave him
necessary assurance that its home
would certainly be found in that
very point of dense wood.

al must angle for them chaps"
repeated lie Bourbon; "and If you
will go with me, strangers, you
shall soon see the incest part of
the business Of bee-hunting. Many
a man who can line bee, can do
nothing at an angle"
AS this was only gibberish to the
listeners, no answer was made, but
all prepared to follow Ben, who
was soon ready to change his
ground. The bee-hunter took his
way across the open ground to a
point fully a hundred rods dis
tant from his first position, where
he found another stump of fall
len tree, which he converted into
stand. The same process was gone
through with as before, and lie
Bourbon was soon watching two
bees that had plunged their heads
down into the cells of the comb.
Nothing could exceed the gravity
and attention of the Indians, all
this time. They had fully compre-
hended the business of lining the
insects toward their hives, but
they could not understand the vir-
tue of the angle. The first bore SO
strong an affinity to their own
pursuit of game, as to be very
obvious to their senses; but the
lest included a species of infor-
nation TO which they were total
strangers. Nor were they much the
wiser after lie Bourbon had taken
his angle; it requiring a sort Of
induction to which they were not
accustomed, in order to put the
several parts Of his proceedings
together, and to draw the in
ference. AS for Gershom, he af-
fected to be familiar with all that
was going on, though he was just
as ignorant as the Indians them
selves. This little bit Of hypocrisy
was the homage he paid to his
white blood: it being very un-
seemly, according to his view of

CHAPTER II.

The Bee Hunter Entertains The
Strangers In His Cabin.
The next thing was to ascertain
which was the particular tree in
which the bees had found shelter.
Collecting his implements, lie Bour-
don was soon ready, and with a
light elastic tread, he moved off
toward the point of the wood, fol-
lowed by the whole party. The dis
lance was about half a mile, and
men so much accustomed to use
their limbs made light OF it. In a
few minutes all were there, and
the bee-hunnter was busy in look
ing for his tree. This was the con-
summation Of the whole process,
and Ben was not only provided for
the necessities of the case, but
he was well skilled in all the signs
that betokened the abodes of bees.
An uninstructed person might
have passed that point of wood
a thousand times, without the
least consciousness OF the
presence of a single insect of the
sort now searched for. In general,
the bees flew too high to be easily
perceptible from the ground,
though a practised eye can dis
Germ them at distances that would
almost seem to be marvellous. But
Ben had other assistants than his
eyes. He knew that the tree he
sought must be hollow, and such
trees usually give outward signs
of the defect that exists
within. Then, some species OF wood
are more frequented by the bees
than others, while the instinct of
the industrious little creatures gen
orally enables them to select such
homes as will not be very likely
to destroy all the fruits OF their
industry by an untimely fall. In
all these particulars, both bees
and bee-hunter were well versed
and Ben made his search accord
ingly. Among the other imple-
ments of his calling, lie Bourbon
had a small spy-glass, one scarcely
larger than those that are used in
theatres, but which was powerful
and every way suited to it's pur-
poses. Ben was not long in select
ing a tree, a half-decayed elm, as
the one likely to contain the hive |;
and by the aid OF his glass he soon
saw bees flying among its dying
branches, at a height OF not less
than seventy feet from the ground.
A little further search directed
