Heaven or AIgiers

A celebrated Anglican divine, the
late Bishop of Rochester, who had
been ailing for some months, decided
to consult Sir Frederick Treves, the
noted surgeon. After a careful exam
nation Sir Frederick pronounced his
verdict and added, "Your lordship
must go to Algiers or some winter re-
sort on the Riviera"
Impossible" replied the bishop;
"quite impossible. | have too much
work to get through"
well" said the doctor, you must
make your choice. 1t is either AL
giers or heaven"
Dear mel" exclaimed the bishop
with a sigh; "then suppose it must
be Algiers."

needs Of his bees. II they are short
of stores, feed warm thick strip
made of granulated sugar and feed
lavishly. This will be stored by the
bees in the brood combs and used as
need. The strip may be half water
and half sugar, or thicker If prefer
red. There is no better investment in
beekeeping than to give abundant
supplies in the spring.
Bees generate considerable heat in
rearing brood rapidly, for the tenn
perature of the brood must be main
tanned nearly at human blood heat.
The better they are protected from
winds and the more insulation they
have, the easier it is for them to keep
the proper temperature and the fast
er they build up.
On some warm day the hives should
be opened and given spring house
cleaning. At this time one wing Of
the queen should be clipped so that
when swarming time comes she can
not fly to the woods with the swarm.
If any queenless colonies are discov-
cred (haying no brood) they should
be united with colonies having queens.
This can be done simply by setting the
queenless colony on top.
The stimulation to heavy brood
rearing should occupy six or eight
weeks previous to the surplus honey
flow, and every beekeeper should
know when that comes in his locality.
If he is a beginner, any beekeeper
who is older in the work can give that
information. If colony has a good
queen and plenty of empty cells for
egg laying, is well supplied with
stores, and is protected from cold and
winds, one may expect colony which
is capable of storing the maximum
crop.
Having gone to all this trouble to
get plenty of bees in the hive the
beekeeper will readily see that he
should do everything in his power to
prevent swarming. Swarming just
before or during the honey flow is the
greatest drawback to a good crop.
Experienced beekeepers have worked
out methods and every beekeeper
should study these methods.

Are You Afraid to Take Chances?


Many man fails because he does
not dare to take risks, to take the
initiative
When do you expect to do anything
distinctive in life? When do you OK
pect to get out of the ranks of med
diocrity? The men who do original
things are fearless. There is lot Of
dare in their makeup, a great deal
of boldness. They are not afraid to
take chances, to shoulder responsible
ity, to endure inconvenience and pri-
walton.
There never was a time when the
quality of courage was so absolutely
indispensable in the business world as
it is today. 1t does not matter how
many success qualities you possess,
young man, if you lack courage you
will never get anywhere. Not even
honesty or perseverance will take its
place. There is no substitute for
courage.
1t does not matter how well educat-
ed you may be, or how good train
ing you may have had for your voca-
ton, if you are a hesitator, if you
lack courage which dares to risk all
on your judgment, you will never get
above mediocrity.
The men who stand at the top of
their line of endeavor stand there be-
cause they have the courage of their
convictions. They had the courage
to climb, had the nerve to undertake
even against the advice of others.

Children as Road Builders

A new idea in road building comes
from Oklahoma. Pontotoc county, in
that state, will test the efficacy of the
country schools as an aid to the bet
ter road movement. w. T. Melton,
superintendent of schools of that
county, is the originator of the plan.
He will have each of the sixty-four
schools in the county build one mile
of road. Prizes of from 500 to 5000
will be offered to stimulate rivalry
between the different schools in the
road work.

the Britisher, "but it must be a very

Enormous Pressure in TwIas.

Along with the formation of the
sugar, and caused in part by it's ac-
emulation. there develops within the
minute cells of the BURBERRY plant
enormous Osmotic pressures. which ell
able the plant to push its buds open,
F. v. CovilIe writes In National &C.
ographic Magazine. These pressures
are frequently as high as seven atlnos-
pheres, or more than 100 pounds to the
square inch-a pressure that would
start a leak in a low-pressure steam
engine. The pressure may become
as high ms 30 atmospheres, or 45O
pounds to the square inch-a force
sufficient to blow the cylinder head off
of a thousand horse power Corliss en-
CINE. The reason, the plant does not
explode is because it is broken up in
to many extremely small and strongly
built cells instead of having one big
interior cavity. These minute cham
bbers are often as thick-walled proper
tionately as an artillery shell.

TAX DODGERS IN GERMANY.

To prevent him from further evading

act some emergency legislation which

marks.
On the basis Of these profits. the firrn
was assessed for a total Of $4,000
marks on its prospective business be-
tween April 1. and March 81, 1917. To
evade this payment, the proprietor
liquidaied his business, had himself ap-
pointed as receiver-and blossomed out
as a partnership BY the time the au-
thortes discovered this, and also
found that the old firm against which
prospective taxes had been assessed
was no longer existent, the profits hao
increased it is estimated, to some
thing like eight or ten million marks.
Now there is in prospect the possibility
that the partnership will be dissolved
in timely way so that again there
will be no firm to levy against.
In his petition to the Hession legisla-
ture the mayor of Muhlheim bitterly
condemns the practice of a successful
business firm of lodging taNe; at
time when they are so necessary, and
at time when those less able to pa1
