Stricken
With Cholera.
Youngest Child Died.
The chief symptoms of cholera, are
vomiting, and purgiag occurs either
simultaneously or alternately, and are
usually =dam and very violent, and
tile matter ejected by the stomach has
a bilious appearance and nasty bitter
taste. On the fast symptom appearing
Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry
should be taken, and the trouble cured.
Mrs. E. Slade, 376 Logan Ave.,
Toronto, Ont., writes: "When I first
arrived in Canada, nearly four years ago,
my eatire family was stricken with
cholera, from which the youngest child
died, Soon after a friend recommended
Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry,
and acting on this advice I administered
it to all who were suffering, with the most
gratifying results. Since that first at-
tack my children have been subject
to stomach, troubles, but on the first
symptoms I resort to "Dr. Fowler's,"
and it always brings relief. I have
immense faith in this medicine, and
always keep a bottle on band. Also
X never fail to recommend it to anyone
who is similarly troubled."
When you ask for "Dr. Fowler's" see
that you get it. .
It has been on the market for the past
70 years.
There is nothing "just as good."

Roumania is the modern descendant
of Trajan's roman colony in Dacia,
and the explanation of the Rouman-
ians in the Bukowina and Transyl-

and was much. larger in extent than
the modern kingdom of Roumania.
When Catherine II. was at war with
Turkey the Russians occupied the

to the Turks when peace was made in
1774, Austria had been much per-
turbed by this occupation, and made
great show of her anxiety for its res-
titution to Turkey. • But this friendli-
ness was by no means disinterested,
for she promptly set up an intrigue
to secure it for herself, and in 1777
the Porte ceded it to her. Since then

NO DIE FOR VICTORIA CROSS.
Made Separately of Bronze From
Guns Captured in Crimea.
When an ordinary medal is made a
steel die is used, and the article can
be turned out complete with one blow
of the press. Thousands can thus be
made in a very short space of time.
But for the Victoria Cross there is
no die in existence. Each cross is
made separately, and this is as it
should be, for the cross .ranks far
higher than any other military de-
coration which it is in the power of
the country to bestow.
The bronze, as is known to most
people, is a part of some of the Rus-
sian guns captured in the Crimea. It
is of very hard quality, and it is
weighted out to the workmen as care-
fully as if it everalso much gold.
The first Cross was modelled in
hard wax, and ifter the design had
been. approved a model pattern was
cast. This is preserved with the great-
est care, and from it are made the
moulds from which every other Cross
is cast.
The moulds, as is usual in all cast-
ing, are made in two parts, and the
surfaces prepared with hlacklead, so
as to make them smooth.
Rosebery's Wit.
Quite in the foremost rank of cele-
brities who are aiding recruiting is
Lord Rosebery, wose popular
speeches have induced many young
men to join the colors. Lord Rose-
bery is a very great lover of ani-
mals, and the story goes that on one
occasion he went so far as to risk his
life for a favorite dog. His lordship
was on board a steamer when sudden-
ly his dog fell overboard, Much dis-
tressed, Lord Rasebery asked the cap-
tain to stop the boat, a request which
was refused. "If it was a man over-
board," said the captain, "why, then,
of course-" "Oh," said Lord Rose-
bery, "that can be easily managed,"
and, to the captain's astonishment,
he leapt overboard after the dog him-
self. Naturally the boat was prompt-
ly stepped, a boat was lowered with
all speed, and both dog and' master
were rescued, none the worse for
their experience.

Verse 1. Numbered the people -
The word for °number" here is differ-
ent froni the word "number" in 2 Sam.
24. 1. There the word means merely
"to collat." Here the primary mean-
ing is "to muster," "to inspect," "to
review." David did not want numbers
only." Like Gideon., he wanted picked
men.
Captains of thousands and captains
of hundreds -The usual disposition of
the army (see Num. 31. 14; 1 Sam. 8.
12; 22. 7), This military division cor-
responded to the civil . division insti-
tuted by Moses (Excel. 18. 25.)
2. A third part -As noted in pre-
vious lessons this is the way in which
the Hebrew commanders divided their
armies (Juclg. 7. 16; 9 43; 1 Sam. 11.
11; 2 Kings 11. 5, 6). The Philistines,
at least on one occasion, followed the
practice of the Hebrevvs (1 Sam. 13.
17). The K).ng intended to take the
field as chief commander over these
divisions. He realized what hisain-
fluence would. be down in the fighting
line with his men.
3. Thou art worth ten thousand of
Us -The Hebrew literally reads,
"There are ten thousand like us." The
implication is, "But there is not one
like you," Doubtless David was quite
ready to stay in the camp, as he did
not want to go personally against his

Succor us out of the city -To send
reinforcements or to command the ie -
treat if retreat were necessary.
4. The king stood -To encourage
the soldiers by this personal interest
as they moved out to battle.
II. The Fight In the Forest of Eph-
raim (Verses 5-8).
5. The king commanded -David did
not merely request his generals not
to hurt Absalom, he "commanded"
them. "And all the people heard when
the king gave all the captains charge
concerning Absalom."
6. • The forest of Ephraim -As the
battle was fought east of the Jordan,
this forest could not have been in the
central part of Palestine where the
tribe of Ephraim settled. - It must
have been in some part of the great
forest of Gilead, east of the Jordan,
which, in fact, is a continuation of the
great forest of Ephraim in the west
side of the Jordan.
8. The forest devoured -The retreat
of Absalom's army through the for-
est was necessarily hampered by the
trees and undergrowth. More men
were slain in the retreat through the
forest, therefore, than in the actual
battle.
III. The Fate of Absalom (Verses
9-15).
9. Absalom chanced to meet -In
the rout Absalom fotind himself in
the midst of David's men. So he took
to the densest forest, hoping, of
course, to escape.
His Mule -The mule was the mark
of royalty (see 1 Kings 1. 33, 38).
Doubtless it was David's own mule.
A Great oak -The Hebrew reads,
"The great terebinth." The definite
article indicates that the tree was well
known. The terebinth is a turpentine
tree, something like the oak. • In the
forest on the east of Jordan there
were far more oaks than terebinths,
hence a terebinth would be more
easily marked, especially if, as in this
case, it was unusually large.
His head caught hold -Doubtless in
the low forks of the tree. He was
stunned by the impact, as his mule
was galloping in wild fear. Although
his hair also became entangled, he did
not hang by his hair alone.
10. A certain man -One of God's
unnamed andennsung noblemen.

well known. This man would not
have taken a promise from him. Had
he dealt with him at all, it would not
have been, on the basis of actual cash.
13. Thou thyself wouldest have set
thyself against me -In no sense was
Joab to be trusted. He was a great'
general. On this account David used
him. As politics makes strange bed-
fellows, so does war break down per-
sonal ethical standards,
14. Took three darts-Absaloin was
not killed outright, Joab brutally
struck at him with "rods" or
"staves" (as the Hebrew word indi-
cates) -that is, anything that first
came to hand. His arinorbearers ac-
tually killed the unfortunate youth
(verse 15).

thought the quickest way to end the
rebellion was to kill the rebel.

The Beekeeper's Worst Enemy
European Foul Brood Has Destroyed Hundreds
Of Colonies in Ontario.
"Mkt
rm4a
Physicians tell us that among the
human race there are some nationali-
ties more resistant to certain diseases
than others. Experiments with differ-
ent races of honey bees have proved
conclusively that purely mated Italian
stock is on the whole, strongly re,
sistant to the ravages of European
foul brood. This resistance is so well
marked in some colonies that they are
apparently almost immuno from its
effects.
Writing in The Canadian Country-
man, F. Eric Miller, B.S.A,, State In-
spector of Apiaries, Michigan, says:
Among beekeepers who have kept
the German or Black bees, European
foul brood has proved, to bthe most
dreaded of all the bee diseases in
North America, In the affected dis-
tricts of Ontario and • certain •of the
States, many thousands. of dollars'
worth of damage has already been
done. Where Black bees were kept
exclusively the disease cleaned out all
before it. Whole apiaries of more
than a hundred colonies have been
rendered worthless in one season, and
have been entirely destroyed in less
than two years. Those beekeepers
who heeded the warnings sent out by
Government authorities and requeened
with purely mated Italian queens are
still keeping bees, while those who
neglected these warnings are no long-
er beekeepers.
A colony of Black bees suffering
from European foul brood will dwin-
dle and die out very quickly. To the
to dispose of the disease. Since that
time beekeepers have found that be-
cause a queen is pure Italian it does
not always necessarily follow that she
is certain to resist European foul
brood every time. A Holstein cattle
breeder knows that it is not every
pure-bred calf that will turn out a
winner: the same holds true with
bees, and it is this fact that beekeep-
ers often lose sight of. To fight Euro-
pean foul brood successfully one must
be prepared to requeen each colony
more than once if this is necessary.
Whenever a colony shows the symp-
toms of the disease after having been
treated, and is losing ground, that is,
fewer bees are hatching than are dy-
ing, then it is high time to kill the
queen and introduce another.
Many of the beekeepers who have
fought European foul brood most suc-
cessfully are those who requeened
each colony affected as often as was
needed. Only those colonies .tbat are
headed by vigorous prolific queens
will resist European foul brood.
Some may not be able to determine
what qualities make up a good queen.
The appearance of the queen herself,
that is, her size, shape and color will
not always guide us. We can tell a
good queen's qualities by results, and
these results show in the power to re-
sist the disease, the ability to store a
good surplus of honey, and the
strength of the colony. When we ex-
amine a hive we can judge the quality
of the queen by the compactness of
The colony to the left has been nearly destroyed by foul brood. The
Italians on the right are strong and healthy.
uninitiated it does not seem possible
that the disease can. work se rapidly,
but when we understand its nature it
is no loriger a mystery. In a normal,
healthy colony of bees, from spring
till fall, the hatching bees replace
these which are constantly dying from
old age, so that the colony keeps up
in numbers and with a vigorous queen
is most thickly populated in early
summer. When European foul brood
attacks a colony, we find that from 50
to 95 per cent. of the young bees in
the larval or worm stage die. The
fully developed bees naturally live
but a short while during a heavy
honey flow, and as these are not re-
placed by the younger generations,
except in small numbers, the colony
soon dies out.
Italian Bees Resistant.
There is no race of honey bees on
this continent that has been given the
same amount of attention that the
Italian variety has received. For
many years queens have been import-
ed from Italy, and with these queens
as a nucleus the North American
Queen Breeders have practised selec-
tive breeding. While it may not be
due entirely to the efforts of thse men
to improve the Italian stock, the gen-
eral opinion is that colony for colony
the Italian surpasses any other var-
iety..
Apart from the ability of most
strains of Italians to resist European
foul brood, these bees have been found
to be excellent workers, gentle to
handle, and generally adapted to the
climate of this country.
During the early days of European
foul brood in this country, when bee-
keepers were told to fight the disease
by requeening with pure Italian
queens, it was believed that this one
treatment was all that was necessary
the brood and the absence of drone
'eggs 'until the' colony is strong in
worker bees, or 'near the. point' Of
swarming.
The Time to Requeen.
The best time to requeen a colony
of bees is when there is a good flow of
nectar coming in. The bees •are more
easily handled at such a time, and
they will not be liable to kill the new
queen. If one follows the directions
of the breeder from whom the queens
are purchased there will be no diffi-
culty in getting the queen in. One
point should be remembered, however,
and that is, not to disturb the colony
at all for a week or ten days after
putting in the queen. If your bees
are Blacks or dark hybrids you will
be sorely tempted to take a peep at
the new queen to see how she is do-
ing. This will often cause the bees
to kill the queen: wait and all will be
well.
Do not wait until European foul
brood visits your neighborhood before
you requeen every colony with Italian
stock. A good colony of pure Italians
are more profitable than the Common
bees in any case, and by keeping only
the best you will carry the safest kind
of insurance against a raid of Euro-
pean foul brood. "One ounce of pre-
vention is worth a pound of cure."
If you have not received a bulletin
from the Provincial Apiarist, Guelph,
Ontario, on "Bee Diseases," you
should write for one. When you have
carefully studied the symptoms of
European foul brood you should act
as your own. inspector and keep your
apiary free from this disease.
In conclusion: Keep your queens
young and your colonies strong, and
if your bees are pure Italians, Euro-
pean foul brood will be robbed of all
its terrors.

How A Faithful Canine Recovered
Some Hidden Money..
Monsieur Dumont, a tradesma of
the Rue St. Denis, Paris, says Owen
Jones in the Badminton Magazine,
offered to lay a wager with a friend
with whom he was walking on the
Boulevard St. Antoine that if he were
to hide a six-livre piece in the dust,
his dog would discover it and bring
it to him. The wager was accepted,
and the piece of money secreted, af-
ter being carefully marked. When
they were some distance from the
spot, Monsieur Dumont called to his
dog that he had lost something, and
ordered him to seek it. The dog, by
name Caniche,
immediately turned
back, while his master and his com-
panion continued their walk.
Meanwhile a traveller, who happen -
era to be just then returning in a
chaise from Vincennes, perceived the
piece of money, which his horse had
kicked from its hiding place. The
traveller alighted, picked up the mo-
ney, and was driving off to his inn, in
the Rue Pont-aux-Choux, just as Ca.
niche reached the spot where the mo-
ney had been hidden. Caniche at onee
followed the chaise, entered the inn,
and stuck close to the traveller, leap-
ing up incessantly- about him. The
traveller,
supposing him to be some
dog thathad been lost or left behind
by his master, thought the dog was
trying to make friends with him, and
as the animal was handsome, deter-
mined to keep him. He gave him a
good supper, and on retiring to bed,
took him with him to his chamber.
But no sooner had the traveller re-
moved his breeches than the dog
seised them. The owner, of course, s
took them away. Then Caniche -be- eer
gan to bark at the door, which the
kindly traveller opened, thinking that
the dog wished to go out. Caniche
instantly snatched up the breeches,
and away , he flew. The traveller
posted after him in his nightcap, anx-
ious for his purse ,which was full of
double napoleons of forty francs each.
Caniche ran full speed to his master's
house, which he reached a moment be-
fore his pursuer, who was naturally
but of breath and furiously enraged.
"Sir," .said Caniche's master, "my
dog is a faithful creature, and if he
has run away with your breeches, it
is because you have in them money
that does not belong to you."
The traveller became still more in-
furiated.
"Compose yourself, sir!" rejoined
the other, smiling. 'Without doubt
there is in your purse a six-livre piece
with such and such marks, which you
picked up in the Boulevard St. An-
toine, and which I threw down there
with a firm conviction that my dog
would bring it back again."
The stranger had to admit that
that was the case, and when he had
returned the coin to Caniche's mas-
ter, the dog permitted him to' take up
his breeches and go back in them to
the inn.
