The roofs of chaff hives should be painted regularly every year. Oilcloth makes the best covering to put, •over frames. Heavy canvas or clnek. may .also be used. When brood rearing is carried .on ex- tensively, more water is 'required, but some is needed at all times. To confine bees without loss during the winter it is essential to have a healthy -diet on which to confine them. Gentleness is requisite at all times in handling bees. If this is observed, little is to be dreaded in handling Italians. Bees should hem an alighting place of some kind. A good plau is to attach it to 'the hive at the end where the entrance is. The frames of comb that generally con- tain pure Fancy are mostly found in the outside combs, and the combs containiug pollen near the center. Bees should not be allowed access to cider., All stores from this and from de- cayed fruit are very unhealthy for them, especially as a winter food, The combs must not be so filled with honoy as to limit the queen for space. If 'the combs of honey take too mach room, they should be removed and empty ones put in their place to'be filled with brood. —St. Louis Republic.

Pork, hard breed and coffee -for dinner. And if there was plenty of hard bread you helped yourself from an open box. If there wasn't plenty, then the cook or somebody helping him, dealt it out as the men came up, so many crackers to a man. Then the cook gave you your slice of pork. You held out your crackers., and he laid it on the top one. Then you got your coffee atal started for your tent, walking down the company street, juggling the pork on top of the crackers in one hand and the old pint cup, filled with coffee iu the other.. You did it without dropping the one or spilling a drop of the other. There was skill born of long practice. "Scrumptious dinner? Well, like a good many other things, that depended a heap on circumstances, If we hadn't had any- thing to eat for a aweek,theil a porksand- wich with a cup of coffee was a great del- icacy.

The visitor twirled his hat and looked embarrassed. . . "May I have n word with you in pri- vate, sir?" he asked.diflidently. "No, sir," said the professor crossly. "If you have anything ' to say, speak out." . . "Well, sir," Said the young man. clear- ing his throat; "I went to ask your per- mission to mils a few 'lectures. 1 will try to catchup by extra study in between times." . ., The professor looked him over coldly.

The cap- tain is addressing Laura, who has com- mented on his tears. "Yes, I am crying," he says, "although I am a man. But has nota man eyes? Has not It man hands, limbs, senses, opinions, passions? Is he not fed 'with the same food, hurt by the same weapons. warmed and cooled by the :same minuet* mid winter as a wom- an is? If you prick vs, do we not bleed? ft you tickle es, do we not laugh?" And so forth. Remembering the tremendous forte which the 'game words. or nearly the Seine, heve as spoken by Shylock, we wonder that Strindberg borrowed them for the new situation, But perhaps he did not borrow them at all.—London Aeridenly.
