Queer Place for a Beehive.

Honey dripping down a lightning rod Is the latest novelty reported from Independence, Mo. The rod is on the spire of the courthouse and passes through a big brass ball into which bees have made their way and where they have hived. Quinine is made from Peruvian bark —the outer part of a medicinal plant called cinchona. It was so named from the wife of Count Cinchon of Peru, in the seventh century, who, by its use, was cured of Intermittent fever.
