..1Vhen a swarm. issues 'and forms
Into cluster—/f in a warm sunny .

With any hair brush that is available.
This will make them cluster more
closely and be less inclined to fly' away
while you make preparations; to hive
them. Should' the swarm be settled
on the bough of a tree, hold a straw
skep, or any substitute for it, with
one hand, well under the been, and
around them if possible, and with the
other hand give the bough a sudden,
hard shake, which will 'cause the bees
tofall in a mass Into the skep; if
the bough is bushy a few quick jerky
Oakes might be required to dislodge
all the bees, A vigorous shake down-
wards stopped suddenly'' is very effec-
tive. Now quickly place over the skep
aboard or cloth large enough to cover
it Tiren turn it mouth downwards,
and, place 1t on the ground as nearly
ea possible under the place the bees
settled on' Wee one side of the skep
aninch or more upon a stone or piece,
of wood and if the queen has been
secured the stragglers will soon join
the bees in the Hive. If the sunis
shining on the skep, shade it with a
few boughs or an open umbrella, se-
ouring•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 awarm can
lie transferred to a movable frame
hive 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 ewarm

of thin syrup daily 'for three or four
days, but In broken- weather which
often confines bees In their hives for
days this treatment is absolutely
necessary to keep r newly hived
swarmfrom 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
s swarm starting in iife. This is a
very desirable, plan In the case of
second swarms or casts, 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 hive they
have no desire to leave it, It will not
do to delay the htviug of the bees too
long after they have settled in a clus-
ter, for If the scouts, which have been
previously seat out to .find, a suitable
new home, return in the meantime
the swarm will rise and follow them

'A GORGEOUS STATE COACH
The Lord Mayor of London Goes to
Inauguration In a Grand: Vehicle
In the eyes 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 imagbr"
ative or mythical. -
Built in the year 1757 It was first
used by Sir Charles Asgil, 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 front there
to Westminster. it was at Westmin-
ster that the 'inauguration ceremonies
were perfbrnied,in those days.
The beautiful, names 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 King George ill. The
under -carriage is very richly carved
and gilt. The body Is suspended by
four leather braces fastened with
beautifully -designed gilt buckles., which

We find in China a traditional sys-

'A GORGEOUS STATE COACH
The Lord Mayor of London Goes to
Inauguration In a Grand: Vehicle
In the eyes 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 imagbr"
ative or mythical. -
Built in the year 1757 It was first
used by Sir Charles Asgil, 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 front there
to Westminster. it was at Westmin-
ster that the 'inauguration ceremonies
were perfbrnied,in those days.
The beautiful, names 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 King George ill. The
under -carriage is very richly carved
and gilt. The body Is suspended by
four leather braces fastened with
beautifully -designed gilt buckles., which
bear thei '

C t arms.

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-
