SWARMING BEES Cn Sunday morning an unusual sight drew a number of church -goers to a tree in front of Mr. L. L. Knox's home on. Victoria street, where a swarm of thousands of bees weighed down a barneh. The swarm was three feet in length and eight to ten in- ches thick. One or two spectators who seemed to know bees stated the insects were tame and offered advice as to how to make a capture. A, hive was procured and sprinkled with a solution of salt 'ad water, then Ed. Nelson Scut- down the branch and carried it and its buzzing burden to the hive. The bees were shaken gently from the 'branch to a blanket and were attracted to the hive by the salt wter. When all were inside the box was covered. Mr. Nelson took the swarm to Robert Winter's, Huron road. It is said there were enough bees to occupy several hives. No one was stung dor- ing.-the whole proceedings. -Goderich Signal. SPIRIT GF "LES MISERABLES STILL SEEMS TO PREVAIL A rather interesting case arose in the United States the . other day. A young fellow had been captured in New York, ,eharged with robbery, and given a long' sentence in Sing Sing, the rioted prison. Balder the guid- ance ,of a humane Warden, the chap seems to have what we might call "reformed." His conduct and behav- iour was first-rate, and as a result he has earned a goodly reduction in the 1'ength of his sentence, and is now ready to leave the prison walls be- hind him and re-enter society. During his incarceration, he be- came en outstanding ,performer in prison sports•. He was a smart base- ball player, and a dynamic football backfielder, and his prowess was her- alded across the continent ae he led his team in friendly encounters with outside teams. Upon his release, one of the minor basebkq teams opened' negotiations and "signed him up" to play for them. Indeed, several teams were Owing to the illness of Mr. W. Jackson, Mr. Jas.

When the work had been completed all were bent on enjoyment in the evening and said to "Jim": "You are representing 'Billy' Jackson and if he were here he would sing, 'In the Evening, by the Moon- light,' can you sing it?" and "Jim," wishing to be obliging, said he could and started. But after the first note or two they ale with one accord be,, gan to groan and throw bowls at him. Mien he asked in an injured tone What , was the matter they answered: "You may represent 'Billy" in some ways, you wear bigger shoes and fill more space, lent you can't sing. Go on .home and send us "Billy." M;.'.'. Fair, while endeavoring to overlook the matter etii'l thinks it was a most unkind way in which to receive his well -meant efforts. From The New Eea, June 16th, 1910: The postmasters of the County of Huron met in 'Clinton on Tuesday, , , the meeting was addressed by Mi. Y. McLean,. M.P., Seaforth, and by the General Secretary of the Postmas- ers' Union of Ontario. Monday was a busy morning at the G. T. Ri. station owing to - the fact that the volunteers were going to camp at London. Mr. Well Taylor, son of Mayor Tay- lor, was successful in passing ,his exams in his third year arts course. Mr. Kenneth Beaton has finished his second year rsuceessfully. The mayor has instructed the po- lice alice to arrest all those found riding bicycles on the sidewalks.

The president of the baseball league refused to sanction. the playing of this ex -convict: et would not be "in the best interests of the game," he remarked, and .-•at time of writing it appears likely that the hopes and expectations of the young man are to be dashed to the ground, If everyone felt as does this baseball noan, there would be no point in releasing any prisoner from' 'confinement, as he ?could not get a position and would thus be forced to a life of crime, and society must cen- time to build up acriminal class and engage a larger police farcy to re- capture and ;return to prison those whom society will not accept as mem- bers, and who are `.thus faired to War against soeiety'-�leanovet, Post. A VISIT ,.'yz'- Last week we drove a number of ladies to a W. M. Si, meeting.

We Were early 011 our return and found that that d0 ladies .were in attendance. Tho' program had'con sisted of a missionary pageant, ev ey word of which' had been memor- ized by the participants and put'; on 'with a spirit and appreciartion that left nothing to ,be desired. One could not but think of what such an afternoon means to' those ladies, everyone of thein, 'a hard ! worker. Here'they were studying and working for the good of human, ity, • but laughing and singing as + they worked. In the whole meeting theme was sdcilabillty to 'the limit, but there was also outlook- upon world -conditions and a .sharing -in service of the most delightful and helpful, kind.

FLOWERS ALTHOUGH June 21 is considered the first day of summer, it seems that, as far as the well-known public is concerned, summer is al- ready here and the season is open for picnics, week -end trips, vaca- tions and all activities classed under the general heading of "Outdoor Sports." Heading the list of summer activi- ties, however, should be "snapshoot- ing" for picture taking with the mod- ern day camera is one fascinating, healthful recreation that may be en- joyed by the young or old, and we might add -rich or poor for today cameras .are available at prices to meet the capacity of any pocketbook and good pictures can be taken with all of them. Another thing in favor of amateur photography as a pastime or hobby is the fact that it la not necessary to be an expert to get pleasing results, for modern-day cameras and film have been materially simplified for the snapshooter. Late spring and summer offer great possibilities for flower and gar- den pictures, from the first appear- •` once of the colorful crocus through the season to the arrival of the giant chrysanthemum in the fall. The first rule of flower portraiture is: Avoid harsh lighting. By this, I mean that flowers seldom make good pictures .under direct, midday sun. Summer offers un- limited opportuni- ties for unusual flower pictures. - The light between ten and three ine the summer is so intense that you: get an over -abundance of chalky - highlights and inky shadows. To catch the subtle beauty of the color-. Ings in flowers, it is much better to• work under the slanting rays of the: sun in early morning or late after- noon. You will doubtless want to take close-ups of some of the flowers. If' your camera will not focus closer than ten feet, or thereabouts, get a: portrait attachment (a simple, inex- pensive lens that fits over the regu- lar lens). With it you can get very close to your subjects, for striking: and beautiful shots. Here's another trick. To make a particular flower or plant stand out vividly, get a big sheet of gray card- board and stand it up back of the- flower, heflower, far enough away so that -i5 you are using direct sunlight -no shadows fall on it. To catch the color values of flow- ers, you'll need to use the new super- sensitive panchromatic film. "Pan- chromatic" means the film Is capable of recording, in monochrome of course, a wide range of colors. Your photo dealer will help you select the best film for your special needs, and you will get snapshots to which you can point with pride and say, "I snapped that one." JOHN VAN GUILDER.
