The following ia John Norton's—the Old Trapper's—reason for not' using tobacco, in Mr. Murray's Adirondack story now running in the Golden Rale': "Henry," said he, as he stood leaning over the end of his boat, "you coin° here and. we will hist this boat into camp. dale say I am an old fool, but somehow I sorter feel that this lake shore isn't quite the spot to leave an honest man's boat on. I can remember when to have done it would have cost a man his boat and scalp, too, onless the Lord mercifule ly kept his eyes open by dreams." In a , moment the boat was placed where the old man wished it, and setting his back against its side for a support, he unlaced his moccasins, and thrust his smoking feet out toward the fire. Tak- ing a pipe from ity pocket, I filled it with a choice brand. of tobacco I had in my pouch, and proffered it to him. "Thank ye,thank ye, Henry," said he, as he made a motion of 'rejection of the offer with his band; "I thank thee for the kindness ye mean in your heart, but if itfbe all the same to ye, I won't take it. I know it is a comfort to ye, and I am glad to see ye enjoy it, but I never used the weed ; not for the reason that I had a conscience in the matter, but because the Lord gave mea nese like a hound's, and better, too, 1 dare say, for 1 doubt if a hound knows the sweet- ness of things, or cart take pleasure from the scent that goes into his nostrils. But He has been merciful to man—as it as proper He should be—and gave him tike power to know good and evil in the air ancl smellin' has always been one of ray gifts, and. I couldn't make you. - understand, I dare say, the pleasure I have had in the right exercise of it. - For , you know that natur'•is no more bright to the eye thaa it is sweet to the nose; • and I have never seen a root or shrub or leaf that hadn't its own scent. Even the .dry moss on t juiceless as it seems, and as for the arthl into a fresh sile as a le rocks, dead and has a smell to it, love to put my nose city woman loves the nozzle of her smellin' bottle. Man and many a time when alone here in th weeds have letaken my boat and gone up into the inlet when the wild roses wa in blossom, or down into srime bay wher the white lily cups wasoall open, and so in my boat and smelt them by the hour and wondered if heaven smelt so.- Yes; I have been sartinly gifted in. 'my nose, for I have always noted. that I smel • things that the men aid women I was guidin' than% and found things in the air that they never anspicioned of, and I feared that smokral might take awat my gift, and that if I got the strong smell of tobacco into my nose once 1 shonld never scent arey other smell thaf was leeser and finer thareit. So I have never used the weed, bens' sort of natertdly afeered of it; but what is medicine for _one man maeabe-pizep. :7.or another, , as I have noted ineanimile, for the .bark that fattens the beaver will kill the rat ;seed so you must tate DO I offence- at what I have said, but smoke as much. as you feel moved to, and I will scent the edges the smell as it comes over my side of t e -fire, and so well sort of 'jine works—as they say in the settlements-eydu do the smokin' and I will dp the smellin', and I think I've got the lightest end of the stick at that." And the old. man laughed in every line of his time -wrinkled face at the smartness of his saying. , Sweets by the Car Loptele Mr. J. S. Harbison, of San Diego coun- ty, California,- arri ved in this -city last week with ten car loads of honey, each car containing 20,000 .pounds. This vast 1 .Aggregation of bee labor - was taken from Mr. Herhison's six apiaries on the side of the coast range of mountains, as near to the Mexican line as they well can be, and, yet claim the pr tection of the Stars 1 and Stripes. Twent -five years ago Mr. Harbison niade a sti • in the bee world • by selling at one 'me two thousand • pounds of honey, the product of his s apiary, near New Castle, Pennsylvania. So much hdney had. never before been raised by a single producer, and the sale led bujadreds of staid farmers to embark in what loo -ked like ,a most profitable field of industry. The .result was not flattering. f Sheet seasons and limited bee pasturage forbade ,profitable bee cul- ture. Old fashioned lo4ves were then the • pnly kind known. Tie modern of rob- , Ibing bees without killing them- had not , then been thought of. , . Having invented e hive that euabied ; the. culturist to obtain successive crops .- of honey from the seine colony of bees, Me. Harbison began to look for a region that would supply the food for the bees. Hs searched for this in the equable cli- mate of the Pacific coast, and found it in a narrow strip of country in the ex- treme.southwestern corner of the Unit- ed States, DOW known as the bee belt- of California. Sheep raiseig was the only industry of the natives found by Mr.; • Harbison when he first visited the coun- try. The country inland was theueht good enough for sheep Pasturing, butno one dreamed that the soil could be made to produce grain. in •Paying quantity. Timber was confined- to the bottoms of running streams and to the canons, the valleys and hillsides being covered -with a growth of stunted brushwood, from which sprang a luxuriant growth of white sage, sumac and ocher flowering shrubs, which bloom there -nine months of the year. Mr. Harbison's first apiary was start- ed, on a mountain side, twenty miles - east of San Diego. Ile embarked for the West with seventy hives of bees, but these were reduced to sixty-two by casu- alties. From them he now has six apia- ries, and a total of ,000 hives. He em- ' pleyes fifteen !nen_ constantly, and is icapig rich profits from many thousands' of acres that must 'otherwise lime been a batten waste. He soon_ had. many imita- tors, and now - not less, than three-hun- drea persons are taking honey along the 'Tee Bela" ' s 1 Samples of the honey and a hit -'e of bees, brought East - in one of Mr. B ar- bison's hives, are -. on exhibition in thi city. - The California bee seaton, Mr. Harbi- son says, begins by Feb. 1. In March or April the .bees sivarey and the bee culturist has lively times in saving the swarms. The science has become so systematized. mew that the apiculturist knows within a day or two when a given hive may be expected to swarm, and as the young bees always settle somewhere- • near the parent hive- at least once be- fore selecting etheir new quarters, a Swarm is seldom. lost. The flowers are in the 'height of their luxuriance in May and June, and the taking�f honey is be- gun usually about May 20th, and the bees are kept 'at work as long as the flowers last. . They -cease to bloom in: sufficient quantity to more than subsist be bees in the earlypart of August ; but he little workers are able to find enough to live on without consuming their stores as late as October. It will thus be seen that the harvest time is never longer than three moue* and s often much less. After Oetober begins, although the air is still Mild and spring-like, the be.ea cease to work, and retire into a semi -dormant Condition. Once every, 8 or 10 days a colony will turn oat at mid- day and fly around for; an honr or two in the suashine, bit' they never fly far from the hive, and are never seen at work. The food of the bees in the bee belt is -generally the flower of the white sago, a plant that closely 'resembles the garden sage. This is not to be confounded with the sage brush of Nevada aud :Utah, which is of the wormwood species, and has the family bitterness. Next to the sage in importance as ,bee food is the sumac, a shrub that grows in Califor- nia, without poisonous quality. In fact, there is no poisonous flooring plant in' the bee, range, and the honey has tone of the colicay qualities that make East- ern -grown honey objectionable. The honey is graded by the oulturist accord- ing to tbe plant frOm which it is derived, That made from sage flowers, being Clearest and most aromaticeis most valu, able. Mr. Harbison says that notwithstand- ing the great crop that he has biought to this market, he *ill probably not real- ize more than $1,000 after cleclacting expenses and interest on capital. He had to dig his bee tench out ,of the wild- erness. The roads thereto over rocky mountains ;ides and deep, canons, were bbilt at h a,vy cost. The continuous labor of fifteen men is ueeded in the care of propagation and harvesting. The hives, boxes of shipment, , and house- hold supplies have all to be transported from San Diego, forty miles from his most remote apiary. It costs aliout 4 cents, gold, to -freight a pound of honey by water to San Francisco and byrail to New York. Taking into consideration the commission and currency values real- ized. here there is no great. Margin left for profit --E., Y. Sun. .

Prince of Wales Hob -nob- , bing with a Sutherland Crof- ter The following story is told concerning the Prince of Wares :—On his way through the woods theother clay, on one or his deer -stalking .expeditions, His Royal Highness fou4d himself near a laborer's cottage.- The keepers, hailing the crofter, asked if he had seen any deer. Observing , the Prince, the old .Highlanclma,n • rushed, towards him, caught him by the habil, and addressing' His Royal _Highness :as "my darling Prince," insisted on the Heir -apparent entering the house and taking a drain. .As it would evidently have displeased the loyal peasant had he- refused, the Prince complied with the request, and the talisker was immediately produced. Putt*. the -grassto his lips, His „ Royal Highness- remarked that the whiskey _ wai strong. "Oh yes,- Atone replied Donald, "and she'll be good too. No like yon nasty trtuff'you'll-be gettin' in the Booth." The Prince, unable to wi:-,listand this tempting recommenda: tion, quaffed. thebumper of whiskey, and clrank‘ good. health to the good man, hiawife, and bairnies, all of .whom were prefient. Before leaving, His Royal Highness, by way i of courtesy,. handed to the husband a cigar. The unsophisti- cated. Highlandman, not knowing its use, ate part of the weed, and afterwards; in confidence to a friend, imparted the fact that "he did no like the French meats at Pictures. A room with pictuies in it and a rOom without pictures differ nearly as much as a room With or without windows. Noth- ing, we Wilk, is more melancholy, par- ticularly to a Person who has to , pass much time in his room, than blank walls; for pictures are loopholes of escape to the soul, leading it to other scenes and other spheres. It is such an inexpreseiblekre- lief to a person engaged in writing ot even reading, - on looking uit to find his soul escaping as it were through a • frame of an exquisite picture to other beautiful and perhaps idyll° scenes, where the fancy for a 'MO- ment may revel, refreshed and delighted.

For -apa' an who has a 'large ciey corres- pdndence sand has constitutiontl objec- tions to paying out his coin tcethe feder- al government the following branch of business is picayunishly profitable: Ad- vertise for a, clerk in some daily paper, state that the salary is $80 , per month, and wind up with " enclose:stamp." A benevolent looking old party with specs on the bridge of his nose, has adopted that method, and on the first , day se- cured one hundred and fifty stamps, and no (me knows how many more on the sec- ond -day. He thus receives good interest on his fifty cent investment, -and the poor clerks have to pay it. If there is a meatier man in the city let him show up• —San Francisco Chronicle. Apples for COWS.
