In my last article I promised more’ ~ ondhe subjeet of artificial swarming. ~ 1 shall now proceed to give the mode ' adopted and most highly recommended by our best apiarians, and which we “have found from our own experience " to be the most successful, it being the - - most simple,—for the more perfect a- ~ thing or:procesy is, the more simple | itis—eflicient and approximating most { mearly to natural swarming. = - ' The first point to be observed in this moaus operandi 1S to. ascertain wnen -ihe fullness of the time has come to effect artificial swarming, which can ‘ only be ascertained by theapiariad in *understanding the peculiar language | ~of thie queens on this occagion, and \}}llig] the experienced bee keepercan . réadjly mlderétand. This is & popping souyd, but rather shrill or sharp, and = _ which ‘some -writérs on apiacultuve " ‘call the bark of ‘the queens. ~Now, it _is'a well-aseertained fact, as given by ~our authors and experienced h\ our- - self, that at this peculiar stage of the . development of the colony 2 'voung > queen is pr_ovi(l_ed, as a genéral thing, .. and is about being born: or’ hatehed, “:ind that the two, the old queen ind ~the’young one, corréspond together in “the peculiar language described above, - and ‘that, - too, frequently 'l_i(-t‘.:‘i}r(- the S yimng queeﬁ is out of:the cell. .

hole.” But this is not always the case, and people without tools and in an emergency, have to fix the thing at once. Generally leather is used, but .this is so hard that it does not hold well. - The best of all things is to cut narrow :strips of cork and fill the hole ‘completely. Then force the serew in. This will make as tighit a job as if driven inteo an entirely new hole. Another hint of a similar. 'char‘actér may -be useful. One cften desires to put a staple into a block of stone. The hole is made, the staple inserted, and .lead melted and run.in. But unless the hole’is made with the bottom larger ‘than the topX»the lead will ‘in time work out, if there is much jar or side strain on the'iron: - Besides, the lead ig liable to some compression, which admits of looseness, especially after being subjected to very ‘hot fires:- A much better article. is sulphur. If this be melted and poured in around the staple instead of lead, it makes a much more durable ‘job, besides, it is often more eusy to procure sulphur than lead, as every store keeps it that déals in general varviety.-—dumerican Builder. . i ;|

ALDERNEY CoWs.—Alderney is well known for the bréed of cows which bears its name. . These are so called probably because the first ones exported were frony that-island, although very few that are sold as Alderney cows are directly frowh there.. Those of that breed :ictually exported from these islands -are generally from Jersey, where’ the cattle are much the same as those of Alderney, small with tapering heads, and of a delicate fawn color. The Guernsey cow is esteemed Ly scme even niore _highiy than the Alderney ;. it is rather larger, and more of red, or brindled in coloi. The cows ave mitked three times daily, wird the milk bs churned without skimiing; one -pound Uf‘izﬂ‘“i(‘l‘ per day is by no means anun¢onimon yield for agood cow. The- cow eabbage is mude to reach aosize so Jarge. that the leaves arve used to Mpap the:butter im. for market, while the stalks nre varnished and armed with ferrules: and ‘extensively used -at St Helier's for eanes. The cows are, very caretgl!ly coddied. The grass tiey feed ‘onis highly enriched LY the. vraic, « species-of sehweed gathiered from the reefs-at low tide. / There are two vraies harvests appointed Lyithe government, onein the spring, the other in Xugust, although it is gathered at other times in small quantities. -~ All hands turn out in the season with boats and carts, frequently at night, and it.is a very lively, picturesque occupation, though often attended with risk of loss of life from the overloading of boats or sud“den riging of the tide. The cows are always tethiered ewhen feeding; they ‘eat leéss in this way, really giving more milk than if glutted with food, and while they are cropping the grass on one'side of the field, it has time to spring up on the other side. When they have. done eating, they. are at once removed from the sun into the shade. = The breed is preserved from intermixtur¢ with -other breeds by strong and arbitrdary laws very carefully enforced! No cattle are allowed’ to enter the island, except for slaughter, within a eertrin number of days, with-the exception.of oxen for- draft. —S. 6. W. Benjamin, in Harper's Maygazine. " - L .

i ;A!J"r{«m:u;y»d ENERAL,BUSKIRK has recently promulgated another “opinion” which will be of intercst.to persons engaged in the sale of intoxicating beverages. It is in answer to a Rockport saloon-keeper, who inquires whether the, corportion has a right to levy a license fee'of $lOO upon parties selling wine and Dbeer only. Mr. Buskirk answers the question in the affirmative and explains that “the liquor law approved March: 17th, 1875, provides for a State license of one_ hundred dollars for the sale of spiritous, vinous, and malt liquors; ‘\and,for_n Staté license of fifty ddllars for sales of vinous and malt liguors only. *"The act thus. provides for two classes of State licél,ises.,: Section six of s;yi'd act pi.-ov‘ides thatincorporated ‘cities and towns may impose licenses of one hundred dollars or less on sales made within their corporate limits, under State licenses: This. section does not distinguish between the. two: classes of State licenses. | It does not. compel towns ‘and cities to make any such distinction, Of the power of a legiglature ‘to- pass an_ act in this form thére can.be no question. Tts propriety was a question solely for the Legiglature, .info 'which the courts have no-right to inquire” - -5 -0

Mr. Brown was a Freemason, and the fact of not being able to share the secrets of the order with him made Mrs. Brown very unliappy. She was pouring out her griet to Mrs. White, and saying for the thousandth time: “I wonder what they do in the lodgeroom?” 7 _ ' ~“I have no deubt but it’s dreadful,” replied Mrs. White. “But if my husband was a Mason, I'll betl’d find out what he did.” . : “But how? They dare not tell.” “Ah! but I'd wake him tell.” | “How? oh, how?” = asked Mrs. Brown anxiously. , K “Hush! I'll tell youw; but .don’t breathe it for the world, because it is a dead seerét.” - o CeNo,no; Iwon't.” ) o SWell-dp you know “that tickling a verson’™ ear when they are asleep will make them talk ?” o : . ~ “Noj will’t though?” o L ~ “Yes. Now you wait till Brown comes nome-irom the lodge next. time, and have a broom straw in the bed with you. When he gets, asleep you tickle his ear with it gently, and he will begin to tulk about what he has been. doing at the lodge, and in this way you can get the whole business out of him.” [ : “Graecious me! You don't say so, Mrs. White!” e S - “To be sure I'do. I always get my: husband’s secrets out of him in this way.” . . ‘ : ““P’ll do it; I'll do it.” : ; “And you’ll tell me all about it, won't yw ?.‘y - i “Certainly, but you must never say anything about it.” - e “Oh, of corse'not. I'm very closemouthed,” replied Mrs. White edrnestly. - o it was agreed upon and they separated. But unfortunately Mr. White had overheard the conspiracy and lost no time in informing Mr. Brown, who laughed heartily over it. ~ A few nights afterward Brown attended a meeting of his lodge, and his wife was-all anxiety regarding it. On retiring she armed herself with a spray from her broom and wakefully waited for her lord and master to return. At last she had almost broken down. the veil of secrecy which had troubled Ler so long, and her heart beat wildly when she heard him open the front door and come in. - .

Of course she pretended to be asleep and did not see the comical smile on her husband’s face as he turned up the gas and began’'disrobing for bed. But he said nothing, and in a few- moments he was comfortably tucked in-and giving out premonitory indications of approaching sleep. 3 a v Then Mrs. Brown opened her eyes cautiously and convinced herself that he had gope to that land -from which sleepy husbands nevér return until some time the next day. Cautiously she reached under the pillow and took the broom-straw from its hiding place. Then she reached over carefully and began to tickle her husband’s ear, and he was all the while doing his best to keep from exploding with laughter.., Finally he began to talk alittle and her ears .were keenly alive to every syllable. = - o i “Yes, he must die,” said he. .“He betrayed our secrets to his wife. I've got to kill him—the lot fell on me.” Mrs.. Brown screamed and leaped from the bed, while her husband, unable to control himself, gave vent to his langhter and disturbed the neighbors for the next ten minutes. But they never came to any understanding about tlie strange affair. She never asked what hie was laughing at and he never inquired what it was that made her scream and leap out of bed so quickly. , @ ] Mrs. Brown and Mrs. White don’t speak now. She thinks Mrs. White played a joke on her,and she seems to have lost much of hér anxiety regarding the secrets of Freemasonry.—Detroit. I'ree Press. hd .

! Ivwa Conscience. . ‘A conscientious public ofiicer has been discovered in lowa. A railway wwas to be sold at sheriff’s sale, and an agreement was made with the sheériff by which he was to receive three hundred and fifty dollars for his services, the sale qccupying probably an hour of his time. After the sale the sheriff thought he would examine the statute, and he found, to his surprise, that he had violated the law whigh forbade him, under severe penalties, to ‘receive any fees.excepting those legally prescribed for him. He therefore refused the “three hundred and fifty dollars, and said his claim would be limited to the legal fees. The railway people. urged him to adhere to his ‘original bargain, but his respect for the Jaw was too strong, and referring the matter to the courts, the bench upheld him, so that the conscientious sheriff for selling a railroad, did not take three hundred and fifty dollars, but received only his lawful’ fees—-eleven thousand dollars. :

Harper’s Bazar pértinently suggests that there could not be a better time than the present for young folks to fix in their minds the important dates and details of our country’s history. Schools might well throw aside for a while the regular histories of the United States, and arrange a popular series of lessons based on the centennials that will eceur all along during the coming eight or' ten years. The natural interest awakened in the young mind to obtain a clear and-con-nected idea of an event whose hundredths anniversary is about being celebrated “should be improved by teachers. It would -be worth more than all the didatic precepts ever uttered to pupils about the importance of studying history. The occurrences’ of these centennials gives a reality to past events which the mere record of; them does not, and thus the facts are impressed upon the young. - s

It is certainly, acurious coincidence, that not one of the Departments of the National Government, which have been overhauled, but corruption and fraud crops out, The Postoffice, the Treasury, the Navy, the Interior, and Justice have so far shown an amount of maladministration without a parallel. - It would not be astonishing if in the end it should prove that the government had been defrauded to an extent that would, if the money had: been honestly a{;plied. have paid half the national debt. : e

Ringing for the Water Boy. A good story is told of a verdant one who was passenger in a railroad express train and became thirsty. - . “Where 's that ’ere boy with the water can?” he queried of his next 'neighbor. , - - “He has gone forward to the bag-gage-car, I suppose,” was the reply. " “Wall, d’ ye s’'pose I kin git him back here agin?” : ' ¢ : “Certainly,” said the other; “you have only.to ring for him;” “and he nodded toward the bell-line that ran above their heads. i : No sooner said than done. Before any one could prevent it, Rusticus had seized the line and given it a tremendous tug. The consequences were at once obvious; three shrill whistles were heard, half a dozen brakemen ran to their posts, and the train came to a standsstill with a suddenness that startled half the passengers. with astonishment,. . and caused every man next a window to hoist it and look out to see what was the matter. -In a few minutes the conductor, red and excited, came foaming into the car to know who pulled that bell-rope. “Here, mister, this way; I’'m the man,” shouted the offender, drawing all eves mpon hitg, < 7oty el “You!” said the conductor; “and what did you do it for?” : “’Cos T wanted some water.” : © ¥Wanted some water ?” ' “Sartin; I wanted the water boy, .and my pardner-here in the seat said I’d better ring for him, as we do at the hotel; an’ so T. yanked the bell. Will he be along soon? . An’, by the by, what in thunder be you stoppin’ ford? i . The shout of laughter that greeted this honest confession was too much for the conductor, and he had to wait till he got his train under way agam hefore he explained the mysteries of the bell-rope to his verdant eustomer.

On the down hill side of life, which an old medical writer quaintly terms “the wrong| side of the meridian,” when the functions decay and the frame gradually bends under the weight of years, the system requires to be sustained under the burden im--posed upon [it. Innumeérable physical: ailments and infirrcities then press upon it to which it had been in earher life a stranger. The surest and pleasantest suppprt and solace of declining years is found in Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, long. recoguized as the most wholesome jand agreeable of diffusible stimulants, the most potent of tonics and alteratives. The aged and infirm may place|implicit confidence in this invigorating elixir, which not only checks those maliadies to which elderly personsjare peculiarlysubject, but in a measure retards the eficroachment of time upon the constitution. 10 st. ‘ T ———ilr & SO—— , ¢ An ancient darkey leaned over a Clay streef gate yesterday, and called to the dusky proprietor of the czlbi(?': #see heah,Henry, isn’t yon 'bout redy to.pa® me|two-bit 2" “laven’t nuflin to pay wid,” was the reply. *Youborrowed dat money a whole year ago iHem'y,” continued the old man. “I can’t help [dat—can’t pay.” “Henry, 1 believes you don’t want to pay; I believes you is dishonest; I'll leave de ‘Lord to collect it.” “Shoo!” exclaimed ‘Henry, greatly interested,You hasn’t enny more money to lend on dose terms, haz ye?”. The German for “cup” or “goblet” is becher. Hence, of course, when.parties indulge-in the flowing cup they are becheiting. A German exchange tells of a [pic-nic party, and says that a greater| majority left the grounds about midnight, while the others remained bechering for two-hours. A typo, not/knowing the significance of the word, set it up “Beeclhering,” and the edit(i}' expects to have a libel suit on his hands.
