For ten sears I have been interested in bees in a gall way, and I take greater interest inthem every year. A hive or stand of bees is worth $2.50. Initare the queen, the drones and the workers, a total population of from 20,000 to 25,000 bees.

“This very good sized colony,’’ he continued, ‘‘resides in a hive or wooden box. In the hive are a dozen framus 13 by Tinches. In these the bees make or deposit the honey, a foundation of wax having been first placed in each frame by the beekeeper, so that the bees may have something to build upon. The honey is taken out of the frames every other week during the honey season. While doing so there is little need of protecting the hands. The bees seem to be most inclined to sting one in the face. So, as a precaution, the man who isremoving the honey from the hives wears a straw hat, from the brim of which is hung a silk veil, like they have to do up -in the Klondike country to ward off the summer mosquitoes.

“The queen is an absolute monarch within her dominions. She is the un- disputed boss of the job. An ordinary bee lives during the working season on- ly45days. Young ones are being hatch- ed ont all the time. A bee goes to work at the tender age of 3 days and hustl.. like a veteran for 42 days. Then it is just naturally all tired out, I suppose, for it dies. The queen lives longer, and When a young queen comes into exist- ence in the hive she drives the old

queen out. Her loyal subjects follow her in her banishment, and that is what makes the swarm.

**In southern California the bees make water white honey when the black sage is in blossom. When the white sage is flowering, the honey bas an amber tinge. In winter the bees make no hon. ey. Seventy-five carloads of the article are shipped out of Sanu Diego county in good years. '’—Denver Republican.

{ GREATEST OF COLONIZERS.

Much of the Earth Owes Its Settlement to the Finding of Gold.

It has been well suid that gold is the greatest of coloniaers, and this has prov- ed especially true in the last half of the present century. To what lone regions the footsteps of man were attracted in the earliest times by the discovery of gold we may not know, but within the memory of living men great regions of the earth’s surface have owed their set- tlement and occupation solely to the finding by search or accident of a few shining particles in the earth.

California was a remote and outlying province of Mexico, inhabited by Indi- ans, gathered in missions or scattered abroad, and cattle barons and their de- pendents, visited by a few ships each year in search of a freight of hides, when the picking up of a few grains of gold in the banks of a mill race called the gold seekers from the four quarters of the earth and transformed a wilder- ness into a populous empire.

Australia was a corner of the earth selected on account of its remoteness from their former home asa place of banishment for British criminals when the gleam of gold illuminated it and filled the distant harbors with sails and their shores with cities,

South Africa might have remained forever a grassy waste, the home of sav- ages contending with the Boers and the British for the possession of illimitable pastures, had not gold called the miner and these who follow him to build Jo- hannesburg.—Kansas City Times.

The Sea.

It is the sea which ennobles every- thing. Between the line and the surf there was but the ancient foreshore, covered with prickly tamarisks and mauve colored heath, with yellow sand conspicuous here and there. At the lim- it of the foreshore the rugged border line cut clear into a deep and somber blue. It is she—blue as any grape on this cluster which hangs in the cooling breeze. The azure deepens, filling up a

HEALTH HINTS.

Many Inng troubles come from superfl- cial breathing. Deep, full breaths should be drawr and the lungs fully expanded.

Every one with a tendency to neuralgia, rheumatism or sciatica should wear wool next to the skin all the year round, as in warm weather very lightweight flannels prevent chills after perspiration.

When one is feverish, all drinks that are heating or exciting should be avoided, Pure, fresh water is best, then lemonade, orangeade or teas made from some simple aromatic herbs for quenching thirst in fe- vers.

Never bite your lips or any bits of de- tached skin unless you wish to ruin your lips, destroy their color and vitality, and perhaps give rise toeruptions. The mouth, like the tongue, is one of the ‘‘ mirrors of bealth.’’

A Story of Thackera=

Dean Farrar gives the following rem- iniscence of Thackeray in The Inde- pendent: ‘‘Dining with him at the house of Dr. Butler, I remember that he spoke of many things, but the only remark that I specially recall was one about himself. He said that he had re- cently sat at a dinner next to an emi- nent tragedienne, now dead, and that she had overpowered him with ecstatic compliments. A few days afterward he had sat next Jenny Lind, and the great singer, with a frankness which delight- ed him, said that she had not read a line of one of his writings and knew nothing about them. Of the two ladies, he greatly preferred Jenny Lind and enjoyed her frank indifference much more than the fulsome adulation.’’

A Woman's Movement.

The presidents of the 23 literary clubs which compose the Federation of Wom- en’s Clubs in Kentucky at a recent meeting which they held for the pur- pose of interchanging ideas upon club work decided among other things to en- deavor to establish a bird day in the public schools of the different cities of the state. This will be one effort ina movement to preserve the birds. Ths presidents will also use their influence to have literature upon the subject dis- seminated, as they believe women are ignorant of the vast destruction of birds caused by their feather trimmed hats.
