IllyIN6,,,SWARMIN6-`GEES
•A Simple Solu#lon to One of the. Most
Vexed . Problems of the Bee•
(.. keeper
Bee -keeping, an interesting and not
by any means..unprofitable pursuit, is
avoided by many farmers •on account
of.the many perplexing problems- the
care of the busy workers presents to
the uninitiated. A few practical hints
On, ;how to properly look after the,
natural swarmers may prove helpful -
When a swarm• issues and, forma
into cluster -if in a warm sunny
place -sprinkle the bees with water
with any hair brush that is available.
This will make thein cluster more
closely and be legs inclined to fly away
while you,make preparations to hive
then, Should the swarm be .'settled
on the bough of a tree, hold a straw
skep, or any substitute for at,' with
one hand, well under the beea, and
around them if posSlble, and with the
other hand give the bough a sudden,
hard shake, which will 'cause the bees
to fall in a mass into the skep; if
the bough 1s bushy a few quick jerky
shakes might be required to dislodge
all the bees. A vigorous shake down -
waste stopped suddenly'! very effec-
tive. Now quickly place over the skep
aand
bo or cloth large enough to o
gever
it. Then turn its mouth downwards,
and place 1t on the ground as nearly
as possible under the place the bees
settled on. Petrie one side of the skep
an inch or more upon a stone or piece
of wood and '11 the 'queen has been
secured the stragglers 'will soon join
the bees. In the hive, If the sun is
shining: on the skep, shade itwith a
few. boughs or an open umbrella, se,
oaring the handle to a stake. Nothing
further need be done until the last
bees have entered the skep In the cool
of the evening, when the swarm can.
be transferred to a movable .frame
hlve in a permanent position.. Should
the following day be warm, the hive
should be shaded• and the entrance
opened to the full extent. Even In
the height of the honey season, and
in the best of bee -weather, a swarm
is' vastly improved by getting a pint
of thin syrup daily 'for three or four
days, but in broken. weather which
Often confines bees in their hives for
days this treatment 1s absolutely
necessary to keep r newly hived
swarm from starving in Its new food-
less home. A comb of honey with
some brood and eggs, from an old
stock, would be a great advantage to
a swarm starting in life. This is a
very desirable plan in the ease of
second swarms or oasts, as they fre-
quently leave the hive never to return
in company with the young queen in
her mating trip, but while they have
young brood and eggs in the (rive they
have no desire to leave it. It will not
do to delay the hiving of the bees too
long after they have settled in a clus-
ter, for if the scouts, which have been
previously sent out to find a seitable
new home, return in the meantime'
the swarm will ries and follow them
to, perhaps, parts unknown,

How an innocent curate was sus-
pected by a Devonshire constable of
`being a foreign spy when he had lost

by the central figure In the incident,
the Rev, I. M, Bankes•Jones of Sun-
ningdale, on his return from a Holiday
in Devon,
At ten o'oleek one night Mr. Bankes -
Zones left his camp for a walk, Be

on a policeman and two other men,

lowed the stranger, and 'tasked hint for'

Tess From Victims
Public executioners used to acid very
considerably to .their official salaries
by the extortion of tips from their
victims, and a man of any rank was
expected to hand his executioner any-
thing from $25 to' $260, If the tip
were liberal enough, it was possible
to defeat the ends of justice. The
famous Sack Ketch I etc once confessed to
having accepted $105 froma notorious
criminal, in consideration of which
he gave' ]fibs all Opportunity to slip
off the scaffold and mingle with the
crowd. , Whereupon Retch made a
feint of pursuit, seized a white-faced
little tailor from among the spectators
and -strung itini up Instead!

MEDICINE IN CHINA
Very Unsclentlflc Methods' Are Efli
pioyed by Native Doctors
WVe find in China a traditl,onal sys-
tem of medical practice of great an-
tiquity, says a writer on the subject,.
No years of preparation aro required
for a Chinese practitioner. , A11
he needs is a, `doctor -book' -a manual
of prescriptions' bought or inherited.•
He logics at the patient's `tongue, 'feels
his pulse, and, without further examin-
ation' he is ready to turn over a few
leaves of his book and announce the
ailment and its remedies .They al-
ways feel the pulse ,in both•wrlets.
That of the lett arm is the.iiicatien.
for diseasesof the heart, liver and
kidneys; the right one belongs to the
lungs, spleen and other organs. The
liver consists of seven lobes and 13
the seat of the soul, 1f a dishonest:
man falls ill they diagnose a dis-
placed heart, because a just and up-
right man's heart is always in the
middle' of his body.
A list of: drugs in ordinary use
would include cockroaohes,'rhinocer-
ous skin, 'silk worms, crude calomel,
asbestos, rhubarb, full grown roses,
moths, maggots,- centipedes, shell fish,
caterpillars, toads, lizards, eta.
Much medical work is done In con-
nectionti work wit v of t in the temples;
lots are cast Tor the drug, and the
prescription indicated by the idol is
written down by the doctor and this
comes with a double authority.
The chief surgicalinstrument is
the acupuncture needlta, used to pro-
duce counter -irritation, There are
one hundred spots known to surgeons
in which It can be stuck without
bausing immediate death. Often they
do not hesitate to insert it in the
eyes, lunge or abdomen. The results
of such practice'. with unsterilized
heedles, in the filth and uncleanliness
of the average Chinese home, may be
easily imagined. .

A GORGEOUS STATE COACH
The Lord Mayor of London Goee to
Inauguration In a Grand Vehicle
In the eyea of the children the state
coach for the use of the "Right honor-
able, the Lord Mayor of the City of
London," seems to have come straight
out of fairyland. Its magnificence and
grandeur are by no means lmagtn-
ative or mythical, -
Built in the year 1757 it was first
used by Sir Charles Asgll, then Lord
Mayor, on November 9th of that year.
Seated in its, splendid' interior he was
drawn by six fine roan horses to Three
Cranes and, attended by barges of the
City Companies, proceeded from there
to Westminster. It was at Westmin-
ster that the inauguration ceremonies
were perftirmed in those days.
The beautiful panels of the state
coach were painted by the famous
Cipriani, and the heraldic designs by
Cotton, one of the first members of
the Royal Academy, Cotton was also
coach -painter to Icing George III. The
under -carriage le very richly carved
and gilt. The body is suspended by
four leather braces fastened with
b eautifull yet esigned gilt bucklers which
boar the City arms.
The state harness, after being in
use for one Hundred years, was re-
newed at the time of the Coronation
of !zing George V., at a cost of $1,175,
it weighed 117 pounds. for each horse,
and it was found difficult to procure
horses strong enough. to carry it, in
addition to pulling the coach, which
itself weighs four tons. The new har
