spoonino Waste. Time.

"Spooning is waste of time" DR..
Joel H. Hildebrand, chemistry profes.
sor at the University of California,
told his freshman class. Then he
added:
physical attraction should be sec.
ondary. Men and women should meet
on the common ground of intelligence
and fellowship. Their interests should
be genuine. To commence friendship
with spooning puts the relation on a
false foundation. Both are concealing
their better selves, their real interests
behind the mask of conventional silli-
ness.
1T is the beauty of the soul and
not of the skin that man should
seek. No marriage founded on sense
Requirement can be happy, for these
charms are short-lived. The bond
should be such that q man could love
his wife even though she became blind
and her hair fell out, for these exter-
nal beauties are the smallest part Of
the foundation upon which true love
rests. A wife does not need to be q
Venus"

Pretended peafmutl.r,.

A French medical journal, LIE Ga.
ducee, reports strange case, the sim.
ulation of deafmutism by young sol.
der. following the explosion Of great
shell. The case is given by N. Ber.
ruyer. In consultation the man
seemed to be an absolute deafmute.
Before the explosion his speech and
hearing were normal. He had at once
been told that he would recover, in.
formation that did not appear to af.
ford him any special pleasure. Close
watching did not disclose any evidence
Of stimulation. He was then placed In
state of semi-consciousness with
chloroform. and in this condition
conversed without difficulty. A dress.
Ing was applied to his throat for the
psychic effect. Afterward he admit.
ted recovery, but exhibited no delight
over his good fortune. It was sup
posed that the original shock was gen.
uine and that after this came the
thought Of deliberate malingering in
order to keep out Of the fighting line.
He had played the part of mute for
six weeks.

Use Of Artificial Gas.

That the use of artificial gas as q
domestic and industrial fuel is in.
creasing and that its utilization for
Illuminating purposes is decreasing is
Indicated by a report recently issued
by the department of the interior,
which covers the use of the product
In 1915.
1t is pointed out that 2G6, 2O4, 24S, 900
cubic feet of gus was sold during 1915,
and that the value of this production
amounted to $173.s32, 1872, according to
statistics collected by G. E. Lesher of
the United States geological survey,
and 12S. 1O3, 348, 900 cubic feet of coal
gas was consumed during the same
period, valued ut $4S,SS2, OO7.

Dangerous War Souvenirs.

Gun shells are not proving a sue.
cess as souvenirs If we are to gauge
the new custom by the number of &c.
cidents reported in the newspapers.
The last affair Of this kind seems to
have occurred in London, England,
near Paddington, at the home of an
army captain away on foreign serv-
Ice, who, as polite attention to his
wife, sent her shell with time fuse,
obtained as trophy from field Of
battle. On receiving it the lady gave
1t a prominent place in the drawing
room, but not knowing its dangerous
character omitted to warn the servant
girl. The latter, by some clumsy ma
newer with the broom, managed to
knock it over, and it exploded, frac.
turing her right leg and elbow and
demolishing part Of the house.

A corporal in the Life Guards of
Frederick the Great, courageous but
full of vanity, was too poor to pur.
chase watch; so he hung q bullet on
the end of chain. The king, knowing
his fOible and inclined to rally him.
one day said:
Corporal. it is six o'clock by my
watch; what time is 1t by yours?"
"Sire," said the man, drawing the
bullet from his fob. my watch marks
neither five nor six o'clock; but tells
me every moment that 1t is my duty to
lie for your majesty"
The king was much affected. "Here,
my man." said he, "take this watch Of
mine, that you may be able to tell the
hour alsO."

COMMON MISTAKE OF YOUNG BEEkEEPER

The young beekeeper is prone to
waste the weak colonies by trying to
carry them through the winter In their
own hives. 1t Is not always easy to
carry strong colonies through q severe
winter without loss. II no special pro-
vision is made to protect them, but it
is almost useless to let a weak colony
go into the winter In the open, and
even if protection is given. 1t is not al
ways safe. 1t is far better to unite
the colony with strong one or with
another weak one, so the two can win
terstogether and thus be stronger, util-
izing the bees of both.
Colonies are never overly strong
when spring arrives, mo matter how
strong they 60 into the winter, and it
is not the number Of hives that count
when the honey flow comes, but the
number of bees. A hundred thousand
bees in two hives will gather much
more honey for surplus than the same
number in ten hives, and until the

fact. The presence of sinking smut
In wheat Is indicated by the odor and
the presence of scab by the appearance
of the kernels. Purchased seed should,
of course, be cleaned and treated for
the destruction of the spores Of disease
producing fungi, If the examination
shows this to be necessary.
In choosing varieties Of wheat the
farmer should be guided by the expe-
riences Of his neighbOrs and the advice
Of his state experiment station. This
is true also Of rye, but there are avail
able fewer varieties Of rye than of
wheat. The stations can furnish COM
parative statistics on the yields and
behavior of a number of varieties Of
the two cereals.
After the grain farmer has procured
a supply of satisfactory seed he should
store 1t carefully. so that it will keep
in good condition and will be safe from
the depredations of rats, mice and in
sects. Bins which are supposedly rat
proof are available on practically all
farms and it will pay farmers to see
that they are kept in good condition
to keep out the rodents.

Queens will lay as many eggs as the
bees can take care of and no more. In
fact q hundred thousand bees in ten
hives could not care for nearly so
many young bees as they could In two
hives, for 1t would take so much heat
to keep the hives warm.
If it Is seen that the colony is going
to be too weak to winter 1t is the best
plan to unite early, for this gives the
united colony a better chance to build
up and arrange their cluster for the
winter. Anything that tends to dis
turb the arrangement Of the bees late
in the fall tends to make 1t harder for
them to winter successfully. Bees ar
range the winter stores with view to
cold. weather, and they will form a
cluster in the middle Of the hive, with
honey stored above them and around
them as close as they can store 1t.
In severe weather they will not leave
the cluster to 60 to the outside frames
