A hive is sometimes placed upon a sheet and the bees shaken down upon it or rattled off into a dish pan or basket and poured in front of the hive. if bees cluster upon the body of a tree or fence they can be driven with smoke into a box or basket. All beekeepers that are worthy of the name have their hives iu readiness for swarms. We've known persons who owned eight or ten colonies of bees, that made no preparation for having them, and annually lost the greater part of the increase, while a salt -bar- rel was being emptied to receive them or the old pump was having a board nailed on top, the would-be rovers fol. lowed the advice of Horace Greely, and emigrated west. Of course it was vory little Ioss, for what is a colony of bees worth that are hived in an old pump; they look interesting enough, going in and out of the spout, but what benefit would a hundred colonies be in tobacco huckster, salt -barrels, etc..? They would gather just as much honey, but it is in such a shape as to be of very little use to its owner.

Prof. Marquis Bibbers, of the Lon- don Polytechnic Institute gave an ex- hibition of fancy and useful swimming, in the Central Park Baths, New York, I on Friday afternoon. ''How to save a person from drowning," and "how to break away from the grip of a drown -1 ing person," were two of the most use- ful parts of the exhibition. Using ns attendant for a drowning person, he' showed that a single hair of the head was sufficient to draw the floating body ashore with, if the person retained suf froient presence of mind to keep quiet. If the person struggles, as is usually the case, he should be approached from behind, his head held on the rescuer's breast, and both go ashore on their backs. The drowning person frequent- ly grasps his rescuer, and endangers both their lives. In this case, if his head can be get under the snrfaee again for a few moments it will confuse him, and breaking away is comparatively easy, Should he grasp his resoner by the wrists a quiolc wrench of the arms will break his hold. Should he grasp him from behind, his hold must be loosened by wrenching beak his fingers, as in ordinary cases. When the drown- ing person gets his arms firmly clasped around his rescuer's neck or around his waist, or gets any other dangerous hold, the ;rescuer may instantly free himself by putting two of his fingers to the drowning person's nostrils, and thus forcing his head back. This will make a man loosen hie hold, in the water or out of it. Even a drowning man cannot keep his grip when this plan is resorted to.

I select a good piece of ground of a dry, loose nature ; red sandy soil is the best ; as it will ripen them the best ; and this is essential to a good water- melon, and a good price. Then I plow well and deep as soon as the ground is in good condition. When 1 get ready to plant I barrow and roll until the ground is pulverized. Now T mark off with a plow lightly both ways so as to have my hills ten feet apart each way. The hills should be made of the finest dirt about four or five inches:above the unlace of the ground. I plant seven or eight seeds in a hill, covering them about three-fourths of an inch. This should be done abort tho 10th of May. or not until the ground is warm enough to bring them np quickly. After the plants are up, the ground should be worked around the plants with the hands or a small hoe. When they form the third leaf, thin them out to three in a hill, leaving the plants as far apart as possible in the hill. The ground should be all stirred by plowing with a double shovel or cultivator three or four times, and Lite hills should be hoed as many times as they need it. loosing the ground in the hill and bringing up fresh earth to the plants. Keep the weeds all palled, and do not plant with or near other vines, as the fruit would mix. Never work the ground when the vines are wet, wheth- er by rain or dew. To keep bugs off, sprinkle wheat bran on them when wet , with dew. The best kind for early ones is Phiney's Early. The var;ety called Ice-Crearu is the best for the main crop.
