colonies. The bet plan is to_place a
large block or botird leaning against the
hire for a few days after moving.. When •
the bees come mit they at once notice
that something is wrong, and they mark
the location.
Hives should front east, southeast or
south, east being always preferred on
account of the morning sun warming.
Later in the day the atmosphere becomes
warm, and hives facing the west, which
is the worst direetion of all, get the
burning rays of the sun when it is a
damage rather than a benefit. If one
has but a small plot of ground, and the
hives are crowded, then it ia best to
vary the frontage, as the bees are
thrown too much together, and are
hindered somewhat in working. It is
hard work for laden bees to enter the
hive with the wind, and hives should be
set somewhat to conform with this par-
ticular. Bees enter a hive best head
against the wing, as' they are not so
liable to take a tumble and mix up in
heaps as they wonld in entering with
the wind. • When heavily laden they
cannot control themselves. As in most
localities the prevailing winds are from
orthwest,then a front-
• east will be all that is
the southwest to
age from south to
required.
For smoker fthe
1, the fungus excres-
cences growing on decaying logs and
trees in the woods, well dried and cut
in pieces the size of a hickory nut, burn
well and last a long time. If, however,
bees are at all inclined to be vicious,
-cheap smoking tobacco should be used,
perhaps the refuse sterns would answer,
but care should be taken not to .smoke
them too much„ as it soon puts:a quietus
on the bees, and too much smoke might
make the honey' taste, especially if
• wanted for use in a few days.

certainly; but why do you make such
a strange request "-Well, I wish to
learn to cook like your mother-"
-.—" For a while after I was married
my dinner used to be aye five or ten
minutes late," said an experienced
husband, "but I soon sorted that."
"How did you accomplish it?" asked
another husband anxiously. " I'm hav-
ing the same trouble." "Oh, easy
enough. When the wife would come in
and say,- "I'm. sorry yer dinner is a
little late Willie," I would reply, "Dinna
put yersel' about. I'll just hae fine time
to step roon' the corner for a half pint o'

that. It Succeeded wi' me."
—The late James T. Fields, the great
American publisher, enjoyed. telling a
good joke at his own expense. Once he
was on his way in the cars from Boston
to his summer cottage at Manchester -by -
the -sea. Two men sat in front of him,
discussing places and persona who lived
in them. Mr. Fields caught his own
name, and bent forward to listen.
"Let's see," said one. "Fields, the
publisher, lives round here somewhere,
don't he ?" Yes, he's got a house on
the hill just beyond here." " Lectures,
don't he ?" " Oh, yea'he lectures a
lot." " Well, how is he, any way?"
Well, he ain't Gough by a big Sight ?"
Bee Notes.
The moving of bees in hives even h,
short distance needs proper attention.
In a recent number of the Bee Journal,
several contributors gave their views on
tide subject. One says he would move
the strongest colonies end let the weak
ones be strengthened by the returning
bees from those moved. Prof. Cook
would move each colony a little, say two
or three feet, each day. Another writer
, intimates that if some of the colonies
I are atronger than others, he would move
away the stronger ones and allow the
returning bees to join the weak ones.
lf this. is not advisable, wait until a
storm or cool weather has kept them in
a few days, then move them, and set a
slanting boerd in front of each hive. If
the distance is very short the hives can
Le moved a few inches each day.
When moVin„o• bees, let it be done in
the evening and keep them closed up
until nearly sunset. Place sone boards
before the entrance of the hives, and
disguise their old location by spreading
sheets over the hives, near the old
stand. If the hives were close to other
hives, the sheets should be kept drip-
• ping wet. After two,or three days the
trouble will be over. Dr. Tinker re-
marks that bees may be removed a
short distance, say a rod or two, by
ravoing the hive five br six feet every
day. The least disturbance and the
least doss from moving the colony is
found by making the change at once, be
it one rod or a h7indred, then standing a
bc•ard up in front of the hive, or dis-
guise it in any other way. The bees
should be turned to one side and the
entrance made dark. They will then
mark the new location. They will- ge
at first to the old but will return to the
new. Mr. Dadant says there will be
some bee a lost anyway it -am moving
. A Naturial-Detective.
Says the Detroit Free Press: A col-
ored man canie out of an alley off Mich-
igan Avenue yesterday and inquired of
the grocer on the corner;
" Say, boss, has you had a water-
mellyon stole away to -day 1"
"Why, I declare, if some one hasn't
stolen a big one which lay on the end of
this shelf !' exclaimed the .grocer.
"Did you see a white man an' a cull'd
feller hangin"round yere ?"
" Come to think of it, I did."
"Dem ar' the chaps who stole dat
mellyon."
"Did you see them ?" asked the
grocer.
" Nebber did, sah."
"Then how do you know ?"
The colored man took him down the
alley and showed him two heaps of
melon rinds, and exclaimed :
"If de rnellyon wasn't dun stole no-
body would come in heah to eat it: Dat
pile of rinds haintt half gnawed. Dat's
jist de way white folks eat 'em. De
oder pile am gnawed right down to de
bark. Dat's de Iwork of a sull'd man,
an' doan you foreit it. Down dar am a
rind all alone. tbe chaps got scar't an'
run'd away afore dey was dun."
"Say, maybe you are sharp enough to
catch 'em," said the grocer.
"Wall, I dunno," was the reply; but
in the course of half an hour the man
brought in a hang -dog looking African
and turned him over with the rernark
" Heah's one of 'em, but de odder has
sk upped . "
"How do you know that this 'felfow
is guilty?" t
" Kase I dun looked for a darkey -wid
a mellyon seed On his shirt -bosom, an'
heah he am. He's dun guilty, an' has
got 35 cents to settle wid ye.'
The grocer says he'll have that man

;
The i fe Of a Great Man.
BY MARY WAGNER-FISHER.
The story of a good and a large life
unquestionably encourages worthy ef-
fort on the part, of the young, and for
this reason I wish to _ allude to the life
of the late Louis Agassiz, the naturalist,
the story of whose life has been so elo-
quently presented by his wife, largely
in editing , his correspondence. To be-
gin, it appears tobe fairly evident that
the harmonious and joyous development
of the boy was due to the sympathy of
his parents. Almost from infancy he
had his collection of fishes and all sorts
of pets—" birds, field -mice, hares, rab-
bits, guinea pigs, etc., whoee families he
reared with the greatest care," and
these animals suggested questions,. to
answer which was the task of bis life.
He learned also to use his hands deftly
in various kinds of handicraft—" he
could cut andput together a well -fitting
pair of shoes for his sister's dolls, was no
bad tailor, and coald make a miniature
barrel that was perfectly water -tight."
He said, in later life, that he owed
much of his dexterity in manipulation
to the training of eye and hand gained
in these childish plays, I think it is a
significant fact in the history of most
great seientific men that as boys they
have learned to use their hands in ways
that are not common among boys whose
parents allow them to work off their
exuberance in boisterous plays, instead
of, directing their energies into some
avenues of occupation that will sharpen
their powers of observation and train
them in handicraft. Nearly all chil-
dren of positive temperament have a
liking for certain things, which, with
judicious fostering, will develop into a
source of 'intellectual and moral profit.
And in training them it is generally a
wise economy to provide for the 'exer-
cise of "budding genius," as for ,physi-
cal needs. Agassiz's boyhood although
not passed upon a farm, the cradle of
most successful; men, still possessed
some' of its advantages. It was in
Switzerland, overlooking the Jake; and
the grounds about the parsonage—his
father was a clergynian—contained quite
a vineyard. an orchard, a good vege-
table garden, and a delicious spring of
water'"flowing into a great stone basin,
which formed his first aquarium.
His ingenuity in providing expedients
was admirably illustrated when he was
seven years old. He slipped away from
the house in winter with a younger
brother, and went skating on the lake.
They came to a fissure in the ice, and
Louis laid himself down across it, for a
bridge, over which his little brother
could creep. He was taught by his
father until he. was ten, when he was
sent to sethool, where he had nine hours
of study,'And, like all the boys, he was
healthy and happy.
From the time Agassiz began t� go to
school, all his copy -books, note -books,
teachers' reports, etc., were carefully
preserved by his parents, showing how
intimately their interests were allied
with his development. The handwrit-
ing of the boy was "small," for econ-
omy of space, as his parenfe were ob-
liged to be 'very frugal of all expendi-
tures ; but the writing was clear and re-
markably neat. All his copy-bcioks,
containing exercises in Greek, Latin,
French a d German, With his "com-
positions," Were without scarcely a blot
or erasure. " From .the very beginning

been the epulchre of some personage o
no small distinction' and he inferred
from the quantity- ofbones found nea
the tomb, that Airswood Moss had been
the scene of a sanguinary battle. It i
said that —battle, which was fought be-
tween th Scots and Saxons, commence
at Eskdal emir and obstinately contest-
ed down he narrow vale of the Esk to
the Sherr Craigs, where the Southern
were tota ly defeated, after having los
their pri ce or king. This might hav
been tbe ,,occasion when the cairn. was
reared. here are places near by which
still retaiili the names Of " Glat Saxon'
and " Th King Pool."
The M e Team for _Farm Use
For fartn use the mule team of th
present isi a great improvement mit th
ox team 4f 20 years ago. As an illus
tration of this, it is related of one o
our good old farmers that he, in ante
bellum days, was harrowing corn groun
with,an ox team, which was then
general use, but the old man, being i
greater haste than his oxen'soon go
ahead of 'them and was leading the
around the land. He had not gone fa
when the* harrow • was broken loosi
• from the team, but the oxen kept o
at their visual rate. Hence the farme
never folund out hi S misfortune fo
nearlyha f an hour, and when he had le
his Oxen tear around the field, came u
to his ha row and cried out to his so
in amaze ent "John, whose harro
is this ?"
