not accept a charity. They are peetners in

house at Ockham, near Ripley, in West
Surrey. The outer walls of the buildieg
are about 3 feet in thickness, and the bees
made choice of their etorehouse at the very
top of the building, which is three storeys
high. The landlord and landlady, with
their daughters, resolved this year upon
finding out the exact whereabouts of the
colony. A diligent search was made one
morning under the roof of the house, and a
piece of comb was found immediately below
the slates, but in such a position that it
could not be reached. Mr. Smith, the land-
lord, then descended to the bed -room, and
with chieel and hammer removed a number
of bricke from the wall, where the whole
stook of bees was found. More than 21t
square of the wall had to be removed, when
a. wonderful sight presented itself. A large
mass of comb, about 21t in thickness, filled
with honey was exposed. The bees were
fumigated, after which large pieces of honey
were cut out, until dish after dish was fil-
led with a total quantity of about 1201b.
Another and still more extraordinary take
of honey has been secured at Winter's Hall,
Bromley, the seat of Mr. George Barrett.
Soma men were sent to take some bees
which had got between the ceiling of the
coaoinhouse and the granary. They suc-
ceeded in taking 3 ewt. of honey. The bees

used is twenty-five per cent. wood pulp and

about twelve hours to convert the raw ma-

and 1,500,000 of them are turned out daily,
giving employment to about 130 women and
girls. They come from the prees in sheets
of forty cards each. It costs $100 a month

about the bunchee of twenty-five each, The

Why Some People Swear.
Some people have been found to say a
good word Inc bed language; but this la
out of love of paradox. They have plead-
ed that the custom of swearing Is analo-
gous to that cf emphatic speaking, and
that those who are too lazy to think of the
right word to txerees their meaning drop
out of eheer careleasnese into the (meet,
elipshod style of using ezpletives. Un-
fortunately it is not merely the ignorant,
whomight by some possibility be suppoeed
not to know the correct term to employ in
order to express strong feeling, thab are
guilty of the improper habit. It prevails
to a considerable extent in circles where
refinement and education are supposed to
prevail. Men who have been to the univer-
sity, and possibly have come oat as firat
class men or wranglers, have been known
before now to take the shorb-cut road to
their meaning which swearing unhappily
supplies. In such eases, perhape, it may
be urged in excuse that severe academical
training or examinations have so reduced
their stook of brain power that the diecove.

lights of learning as for the ploughboy or

thing in this excuse. Intellectual lazl.
nese is accountable for a good deal of the
hasty judgments as well as the hasty
language which is current; and in the
rush and hurry of life a buy man may
argue that he really has no time to le
puttee:ler about his phrases. This might
be accepted as a legitimate plea if it could
be shown that "strong" language le at all
more easy to utter than weak; such,
however, is not the case, and the whole
thing is a matter of habie. It begins,
perhaps, with intellect :al Iaelneee, or the
denire to appear on a par with the swear-
ing world around; boys adopt a lament-
able variety of expletives, very often
simply out of the emulative faculty. Poe -
ably the "swell" of their school thinks it
a fine thing to call a game of cricket
"infernally tedious," whereupon hie
youthful imitatora proceed at once to
garnish their ordinary conversation with
a good deal of imagery borrowed from
the lower regions. The popular desire
of emphasis in speech mnst not blind us
to the fact that it is very ill mannere to
swear. The habit,whatever be Iles origin,
is a deplorableone and cannot be legiti-
mately defended by anybody.

The Plinciples of Color.
irr W. A. SHIM/00D
There is no element in nature more wide-
ly diffused, or more infinitely developed,
than the element of color. Look around
yon everywhere and it abounds. It, indeed,
is the medium through which we look and
sea, for the sunlight itself is a component of
the three primary colors. Of this fact we
are every day convinced. The three prim-
ary colors are, viz,, Red, Blue and Yellow,
and these, by their various combinations,
produce what are termed secondary colors,
and the secondary color:, by a union of any
two, produce a Tertiary. Red and Blue of
the primary will give you Purpl ,e a secon-
dary ; Blue and Yellow, Green; Yellow and
Red, Orange. The range or scale from
light to shade must mire or loss be appar-
ent to all, Take Red, for example, follow
it through in all its varieties from pale pink
to deep crimson ; to what an infinite degree
may not its range run, yet, preserving all its
primary characteristics, for the red of the
pink is equal to the red of the crimson ; the
presence of the lighter or deeper tone in no-
wise affecting the primary. And the law
that governs the one governs all colors. The
scale of tones in Yellow is apparent to every
lover of flowers. You know how pale the
the Primrose is, and how deep and rich the
yellow of the" Mtreachal Neil "Rose, yet
since that degree of depth does neither add

Intelligence of Dogs.
At the nseetiug of the British, .A-esco:a-
tion at Aberdeen, Sir John Lubback read
a paper on the intelligence of the dog. Sir
John remarked that it waa aurprlaing how
1.ttle we know about the true nature of an-
imals. Thia, he thought, arose very much
from the fact thee hitherto we have tried
to teach aniniala inatead of to learn, from
them; to nuke, ?or instance, the dog un-
derstani us, rather than to undetstand the
dog. He euggeated that aortae such aye -
tem as that aeopted with deaf mutes, and
especially by Dr. Kowa in the 0380 of
Laura Bridgman, might be tried with ad-
vantage. For this purpose he selected a
black paodle, Van, aim then presented
pieces of cardboard ten inches long by
three feet wide, on whichhe printed worms
such as "food," "water," tea," and
no one who had seen Vanlook down arow
of cards and, piok out the one he wanted
coald doubt that he was able to &gin:rash
the different words, and quite understand
that a card was equivalent to a request.
The car& were certainly not recoguiz ad by
the scant, because he used a number of
each. Ke suggested that some one with
sufficient lei.ure might carry this much
further, awl that the attempt would, be
well worth making,
Prof. Flower mentioned that he had.
seen withiu the last few days a dog which
knew the return of Sunday. Nothing
could induce the dog to go out with him.
though on other dale, when he took his
stick and hat, he showed great anxiety
bo go with him. Prof. Flower attached
great importance to kindness in the teach-
ing of animals. Miss Katherine Wray
gave an interesting account of how, in
three weeks, by means of a bone attached
to the door ball, she had taught the dog
to ring the bell. Mr. C. C. Walker men
tioned that he knew a family which had
taught their dog to howl at tho late Oppo-
sition and show great interest at the men-
tion of the late Government. Mrs. Stokea
thought that some minds seemed to have
a greater power of communication with
animals than others, and she mentioned
an English profaner who seemed to have
the power of calling birds from the oky.
