Abroad the farmer, both tenant and owner of the soil, lias been ptosperoub for a long time. He has sold his products at a good price, he has stood at the foundation of things, and according to his success have the countries of the world prospered.

Beginning of the Custom—Obliged by Law to Wear Woollen Cap. Charles Vli. on his triumphant entry into Rouen in the year 1449, we are told, astonished the whole city by appearing In a hut lined with red silk and surmounted by a plume of feathers. It was the first time the citizens had ever seen a bat. From this entry of Charles's into Rouen the beginning of the custom of wearing hats In Europe is dated It was all very well for the rich citizen to follow the example of royalty, but when the clergy began to sigh for similar splendor it was regarded as a failing away from grace. Priests or religious persons were at last forbid ien to appear abroad in anything ex ept "chaperons, made of black cloth with decent coronets." A still more striking development took place in the sixteenth century. By the statute of 1J Elizabeth every person above the age of 7 years, and under a certain degree, was obliged on Sundays and holidays to "wear a woollen cap made in England and finished by some of the fraternity cap pers,” under the penalty of three -hillings fourpence for every day's neglect. They understood how to support native Industries in those

days.

AUTOMOBILE FUNERALS. Everybody Including the Corpse, Can Travel that Way In Chicago. A Chicago undertaker lias a com plete motor outtlt for funerals a black hearse, a white hearse for children and tiiree special cars for car tying mourners. The three mourn •is' cars- will carry twenty four per

sons.

Chicago's cemeteries are nearly all located more liiau ten miles from the central sections of the city and to irive to them in carriages, especially when tlie weather is cold, is a long and wearisome Journey. According to Popular Mechanics, the motor funeral cortege lias travelled over city pave ments and muddy roads to a cemetery eleven miles distant in one hour, the return journey being made in about forty-live minutes.

time.

It’s a strange thing,” he told the members present, "but 1 was shaved tills morning by a man who really Is. I suppose, a little above the ordinary barber. 1 know, for instance, that he teok a double first da 4 at Oxford, that lie studied at Heidelberg afterward, and spent several years in other foreign educational centers. He has also contributed scientific articles to our best magazines, and lias numbered among bis intimate friends men of the highest soda! standing And yet." exclaimed the savant, "he can’t shave a man decently!” "By Jove!" exclaimed the younger members, in astonishment. "But. with all those accomplishments, what is he a barber for?" "Oh lie isn't a barber!” said the bookworm, smiling "I shaved myself tills morning!"

BEE KEEPING

V

FOR BEGINNERS WITH BEES. Suggestions Which May Make His First Year Successful. A few suggestions may be helpful to the beginner In bee keeping and enable him to make his first year's work a marked success I Shade your hives if possible with trees carrying heavy foliage. Swarms should be shaded from nine a m. to five p. m. dm.ug the hottest season of the year. 2. Get a super of honey from the hive wintered over by putting a super containing sections with full sheets of foundation or a super containing extracting frames on the btve as soon as there is a good working force. 3 When the swarm issues remove the super from the old and place it upon the new stand. Your new swarm will not leave their hive and will be tiuile likely to continue working in the super. 4 Arrange a wind break to prevent loaded bees from being dashed against the hive fronts by the prevailing stmug winds. 5. Provide supports for the hives which w'ill lift them a foot or more from the ground. Ants and insecteating animals may give trouble if the hives are on tlie ground. 6. Get your extra hives and supers set up for use several weeks before any swarms are expected or the honey (low may he half over before you art ready to take care of It. 7. Keep all comb honey in moth proof cases and examine frequently. 8. Set the hive with the front of tit" bottom board a half-inch lower than tite back but It should be level sidewise or combs will be built at an angle with the frames or sections. !>. Do not attempt to handle bees on cold damp days but while they are working in the field. 10. !f bees are found bunging in ■bains In a super do not smoke them town, thinking they are Idlers, for hey are probably secreting wax II Prevent much swarming by re noUlig extra queen cells and by giving plenty of space at the bottom Strong swarms produce surplus honey. 12. Grow with your business by reading a bee Journal, a bee book, ot both.

Syrup for Bees. The best food at all times if it could be given is certainly honey, but in Its place tlie only substitute admissible is pure sugar in tlie form of syrup. Syrup is best used when a supply must be given quickly as In the case of a colony on tlie verge of starvation. or at tlie end of the season when making up the necessary quantity of fond for wintering There must, however, be a difference in the consistency in the spring and autumn syrups in fact, the latter should be about twice that of the former. The reason for this is that In the spring the bees leave the hive for water with which to thin the food they, iu their capacity of nurse bees, prepare for the queen and grubs; and when syrup is given with a good proportion of water, these Journeys to the pump or drains are rendered unnecessary, while in the autumn unless syrup about the consistency of honey is supplied tbt 1 bees will have considerable trouble in getting rid of Hie superfluous moisture tn order to seal It over; and if they could not do this the syrup remaining exposed might, and probably would, ferment and cause dysentery.- F. G. Herman.

Water for the Bees. Give tlie bees plenty of water. They need it great deal and will fly a long distance to get it. If there is no running stream or lake of pure water near it is well to place a pail of fresh water near the apiary every day. Bees use water to dilute the heavy, thick honey left over from winter to make it suitable for the young larvae (ltd also to make the cell wax pliable. Bees should be protected from the wind on tlie north and west by a closeset hedge or high fence. All the weeds should be kept down in front of the hives low a plot 6 feet wide and then cut the weeds and grass close to the ground with a hoe An hour once a week spent on the care of the bees will bring larger returns for the effort than any other labor on tite farm. A nowspaper man in Chicago, who lives a few miles out in the country, last year sold $226 worth of honey to three big hotels. He says he did not spend more than an hour a week looking after his bees during the sea sou.—F. and D. Journal.

Feed Judiciously. Food given judiciously is of immense advantage, for without it many bee keepers would, undoubtedly, have empty instead of full supers. Food in some form may be required in the spring to help on a colony to Its full strength In readiness for the honey flow; it is none the less needful during the summer, when through a continuance of unfavorable weath or loss by death is otherwise inevita hie; but it is often of supreme importance at the end of the season, so that there shall be surrounding the bees food enough to serve not only for the daily wants, but also through tlie early part of the year, when the new honey is not being gathered the stores are drawn upon largely tor blood rearing.

MONEY IN CUTTING OFF HEADS Blocdy Guillotine Job Hat Paid th« Dieblers Richly. Anatolo Diebler, the executioner, ot "Monsieur de Paris," of French ro manee, has expressed himself strongly In favor of capital punishment not on account of the sums received from Wie Government for his work he is rich —but for the good of society. Anatoie is the son of the former executioner, ■who died a few years ago, and whose father was In the same business before him, the bloody Job being handed down in the Diebler family from generation to generation He has owned two guillotines, both built in the year of 1871, one of the previous machines being burned by the Communists. Each of these guillotines cost $600. The knife, which weighs about fifteen pounds, is worth $10. The total weight when it falls with its cast-iron back is ninety pounds and It drops from a height of eight and a half feet. Anatoie seemingly looks upon tlie business as a mere "surgical operation." He has, however, u deep sense of his usefulness to society. Out of the hundred and twelve criminals whom Anatoie Diebler has executed only one had reached his fortieth year. All the others were from eighteen to twenty-six years of age. And he asks "How many more crimes would they have committed had I not put them out of the world?" Diebler is a mild little man, with light blue eyes. He has been in the execution business for more than twenty years, having acted as assistant to his father. His salary is $1,200 per aunum, plus $1,600 for expenses.

Calling the Deaf. "To waken a deaf person who wishes to be called at a certain time in the morning is about the hardest proposition u hotel clerk runs up against,” said a member of that fraternity. ‘To ring the telephone is useless, because the man can't hear. Knocking, for the same reason, is fit tile. Now and then a guest who has lost his hearing suggests that he leave his door open so we can walk right in aud shake him, but even if he does appear to be dead game there are so many chances of somebody less guileless than ourselves walking in ahead of us that we cau't consent to that simple expedient. "It seems to me the man who can patent a device for waking the deaf is sure of fame and fortune, uot to mention the gratitude of the brotherhood of hotel clerks.” Ne&ts of the Golden Eagle. Every pair of eagles whose habits I have had an opportunity of watching over a period of a few years would seem to have invariably at least two .ilteinative sites for their nests. Some have three, aud I know of one with tour sites. In fact, 1 only know of one pair out of many which habitually resort to but one place and only one. The reason for this is, however, apparent, for owing to its situation it has never been disturbed. The nest is in a small cavern on tlie face of an ab-oiute wall of limestone rock some 800 feet high, at about 400 feet from the intininlL Above the cliff Is a talus of loose stone at an angle of fortylive dgrees or so, above which again rise other precipices. To reach the nearest point above this nest would be i long day’s work.—London Saturday Review. The Date of Christ's Birth. It Is known that the Christian era, based on the birth of the Saviour, is older by several years than the time ■ ssigned in the calendar; but tlie precise year In which Christ was born lias never been finally determined. Liout.-Col. G. Mackinlay has recently investigated the question anew, aud has stated his conclusions in a book, for which Sir W. M. Ramsay has written a preface. The date on which he fixes for the Natl ity is 8 B. C., according to our present chronology. He bases his reasoning on tlie assumed association of John the Baptist with periodical "bright shillings” of the planet Venus, the suggestion being that these special apparations of Venus are the groundwork of the story of the "Star of Be'hlehem.” Ball Beariig Motors. British enginee-s anticipate that one of the most interesting features in tlie manufacture of electrical machinery during tlie present year will be a great Increase in the use of ball bearings. Several types of motors have already been placed on the market which have bull bearings. Among the advantages of such bearings is the relatively small amount of lubrication required for motors fitted with them. It is considered also that such motors should furnish a better output than those having ordinary bearings. Experiments have been made in Europe on the application of hall bearings to traction motors, but in this case the conditions are not so favorable as in that of motors for use in factories.

Not Afraid of a Ghost. In a village in England, a month or so ago, a man came running into an Inn at nine o’clock at night and cried out that there was a ghost in his back yard. There were 14 men in the inn, and not one of them dared to go home with the man and Investigate. There was a per~on who dared, however. and that as the landlord's daughter, a girl * 14. Some of the men followed be • at a dis’ance, and she went into the yard and up to the ghost Hupping Its rrms about, and dls covered what? That It was no more nor less than a man's white shirt flap ping on the clothes line in a strong breeze. That’s shout the way, all (hosts turn out
