1 i Honeycomb in a Tree for 50 Year. A remarkable discovery has just been made at the Cathay s Yard of the Taff Vale Railway Company. A large elm tree, grown Id Gloucestershire, was be ing cut up into timber, when, ri?bt in the very heart, a cavitv measuring S feet by 7 inches in diameter was dis covered almost completely filled with the comb of the honey bee, together with a squirrel's skull. No means of access to the hollow was discoverable, neither was decay anywhere apparent, and around the cavity itself no less than 50 "rings." each ring deuoting a year' growth, were counted, the outer bark being, too, without a flaw. The bellow was of uniform size throughout, and presented the appearance of having been bored with an augur, and, greal though its dimensions were, it was practically Oiled with the comb, proving that the bees must have been in posses sion for several years. Empty combs of the queen bee also showed that they bad swarmed. How the bees got there can only be guessed but it is surmis'd that a squirrel once occupied a decayed liole in the tree, cleared away the decay, occupied the cavity as its home, and tbere died. Then the bees entered into possession and filled the bole with comb, when by some means the en trance, which must have been small, became stopped, the large quantity of grub acd fly being taken as demonstra tive that the nest was n it voluntarily deserted. Then for ufty years the growth of the timber went on. The entrance being obliterated and the hole hermetically sealed, the comb was pre served from decay for half a century, to be found at last in the way described. About Mate renclls. In the north-western part of the town of Castleton, llutland county. Yer mont. is the only manufactory of slate pencils in the United States. Tte late rock as it comes from the quarry is first rawed into blocks as wide as the slate pencil is long. These blocks are eas:ly split into slabs a little thicker than the fioisbed pencil, which is about Oe- sixteenths of an inch. These are paMl through a planing machine and over aa emery belt, which makes them even and smooth. Next they are punhed Into a martins cald the 'crocodile." which cocaiKts of a pir of steel plates. in the un ler one of which are six rows cf rurvxl knives, each being set to cut a l.lt: u"errr than the preceding one. Ttirs plow out lara.V.1 grooves ha'.f way thnufh the slab, which is then turcr! aid 1 on a steel plate having riJrs which Jut i;l tne gr.wvtP. This slices Lack under the six rows of teetb ot another "croc lile." which cuts the grooves on the other side aud leaves the nnr pencils ld by side. They are then rounded aud pointed by holding them to an emery bait, anil on man can thus sharpen about 8,000 u d;ty. This factory makes 30,000 pencils daily, and employs twenty five bands. We might wonder where so many pen cils go, but when we consider that there are 1,000,000 or 2,000,000 school boys and girls, and many of them rather careless, and that slate-pencils are easily broken, we have no doubt lb- factory will have its "hands full" to supply the demand. Tin Coffee l'ots Healthful. "Tin coffee pots are as healthful to B3e as silver, and they will last just as long," said a workman in tin recently to a reporter for a New York paper. "How are these tin pots make ?," the reporter. "They put the tin on Kussia iron. The way it is done is to take a sheet of 1lD9sia Iron and dip it Into red hot tin. Upon this molten tin is a lot of tallow, which cleans the tin and gives its lus tre. If it were not for this tallo the tin would be all full of little bunches. ery often we find the tin sheets very greasy when we get them. This rotr.es from the tallow. lt:sa iru is the mm rsalerUl as is o.rd fwr ti e body of a fctorr. This is osna'ly trip, le coated. o:reti:t.e mere. The tent tin Is ini j ported.

In Japan the women have taken kiad'.y and quickly to the foreign meth ods of iuUodaction, aud prove them selves faithful and Intelligent student'. They show a great deal of ability in the hospitals and training school for burses, and much quickness in learn itg, s well as fondness for whatever they undertake to study. A Japanese wo man's education formerly consisted of a ataict and thorough drilling in all the rules of etiquette, in learning to play on the koto aud samiaen, and in ai ranging bequets; those ot tte upper and middle classes were also taught to read aud write the common language in hirakana or simple running charactors, instead of the cquare charactors of the classic language. All newspapers, nov els and plays are written in the hirak ana, and in Japan the women are great novel readers. I'leauing- Lace.

A Section Where (tie Moat Wanderfal I reaku ef Nature Are Maa-et. In any other country than our own the opportunities of finding such a sec tion of land, where all the most won derful attractions of nature are massed, would have been impossible. The first real information of Wonder land, with its geysers, its rolcanic for mations, its rushing waters, its cany ons, came in 181. Defore that, sa-e the vague stories of the trappers, there was nothing known of the Yellowstone region. Thess adventurous hunters had told the truth, but they were not believed. Captain Da Lacy's report, written by a competent officer, at ence attracted attention. In 1S71 Dr. Ilay deu went to the Yellowstone region, studied it iu detail, and presented a careful summary of Lib explorations to Congress. Above all. Dr. II ay den urged that the whole section should be set apart by CoDgress "for the benefit and enjoyment of the people," and this wise measure waa carried out in 1S72. The Y'ellowstone National Park lies in the northwestern corner of Wyom ing, with email portions of it extend ing into Idaho and Montana. Its length is 5." miles, width GT. It con tains 3575 square miles, or 2,228,000 acres. Toe lowest level, at Gardiner's river, is 5,100 feet, the highest. Electric Peak, in the Gallatin range, being 11,-15- feet above the sea. The average elevation of the platen is from 7500 to 8500 fet. The summer days are hot, the nights alwajs cool. In the winter the climate is arctic. Here the past changes of this planet, its present dis turbances, are visible. The forces within this globe of ours never are at rest. If through the funnels of volcan oes Nature finds her safety-valves, in the Yellowstone Park the geysers are her lesser escape pipes. Around what is called the Upper P.Asin is the I See hive, with its cluster of geysers. One, known as the Grand, throws a jet of water 25 feet in diame ter to a height of 250 feet, aud thi superb water epoul Las a duration of not Irss than twenty minutes. There is auc'.her famous geyser called Old Faithful. Geysers are in ore or less ca pricious as to their eruptions, and are disappointing to those who expect that Nature carries a stop watch in her px-ket. Old Faithful is. however, the most methodical of geysers. Out of the cavern beneath him he draws up the water and shoots it into the air at reg ular intervals of every fifty-seven min utes. Paint Pots are small basins about three feet wide, where the escaping Steam finds an exit, and tbev hold in agitation compounds of siliceous c'.ays, which are pink, brown, blue, and gray. TLo pu!p;t Ivr races arc a series ;r singularly beautiful stalscite basins, containing water charged with carbolic acid, which holds iu solution carbonate of lime. As the surplus water trickles ovpt thtm lime is deposited by evapor ation as a solid crust. Liberty Cap owes it peculiar shape to tte well kDown action of one of nature's sol vents. There are mar.y extinct geysers, but when ceased to spout no ote can tell. There is nothing normal about the Yellowstone Park, because St is a cen ter of volcanic activity. It is Wonder land, acd in Wonderland, aa far as the etaid rcatter-of fact con'ours of the earth go. there can be nothing which is rigid. Mount Evarts owes its name to a Mr. Evarts who was are of the exploration party that visited the geysr basins in lr.O. Mr. Evarts, when near the head of the lake, was lost, and only joined his party after suffering great hard ships. Not far from Mount Evarts are the Mammoth Hot Springs, which cover an area of thrte fxjuare miles. Here are terraces glittering in all colors. Cer tain portions of the Y'ellowstone country are known as "bad lands." Wherever volcacic action cf a recent date has de stroyed the fertility of the soil, thla name is given. With its superb lakes, rushing rivers, water falls. Its csnyors and geysers, this Y'ei:owstone National Prk is one of the wonders of the world. Itanaoa Puddtfi-. This is recipe for banana, pud din : Three bananas, if large ; four, if small ; four tabiespoonsfuls of grans uUted tapioca ; three of sugar ; a pinch of salt ; a pint and a half of water. It it cook until it looks clear (like boiled starch). Have ready your pudding dish. I use a crystal sauce dish, as the pudding looks so pretty in it. Wet it in cold water, so aa not to break the dish with the hot tapioca. Tut a layer of the tapioca an inch thick over the bottom of the pudding dish ; thn slice thin a layer of the ba nanas, then another of tapioca and so on ; have the tapioca for the top of the dish, or last layer ; serve with cream, or if one likes to be at the trouble ar d time, whip aome of the cream and put on the top of the pudding. I think any one will aay it is a delicious pudding. The Soap Tree. Puring the past year, for the first time in any we3tern country, a begin ning has been made in England in the cultivation of the Cninese "soap tree.'' This tree Is very useful to the Chinese ; the soft substance inside the pod, ac cording to the naturalists, is used for washing the face by Chinese women. They do not tell us what the Chinese trs? tt'Vi? re of frr this prrt-o9 ; per haps fbpy rise nothing at all. The seeds of the tree are strung to gether and made Into a sort of "chain-, armor undershirt" for wearing next the skin in summer by the cooliep. To a sample of pods at the Kew Museum near London the following recipe for making the soap is affixed : "They are beaten with a mallet and uaed as soap. Sold at about 1G to 20 a peiiny."

A mutely bull will make dehorning a comparatively easy task. Iiuttermilk poured over the barks of the bogs will clean off the scruff. At least an acre of land can be de voted to small fruits and the garden to a good prodr. breeding stock of all kinds should have laxative foods for a few days at least before the young are born. Cooked roots of all kiods are espec ially good feed for growing pigs, when they cen be readily secured. In fattening hogs it is good economy to have to have a dry, comfortable sleep ing place and a light, diy feeding floor. Every day that the stock is fed adds to the cost. See to it that a gain is seenred all the time to make this up. Chopped oats and batley is a good feed for breeding sows aud growing pigs. It is a good muscle and bone fook. A mound of earth built up at the foot of the trees will be found a good preventive against mice koawing the bark. Wheat bran is one of the very best materials used to feed the milch cows Keep a good supply on hand so as to feed regularly. Don't let the hogs get lousy. One way to prevent this is to be sure to pro vide good clean bedding and then change at least every ten days. Shade-trees add much to the appear ances as wll as the value of the farm, but in making a selection of varieties hardiness should always be preferred to rapid growth. If the work in the winter will per mit and the days are not tooeold, Cx up the fences good for spriny. Dis pense with all unnecessary fenctsg, but what you do have effective. Dry dirt isao excellent absorbent in the stables, the pig peDB, and the poultry-house, but a sufficient quaatity must be supplied to keep dry. It rarely i pays to allow stock to stand or lie down ! on wet bedding of any kind. It pays to have-jood tools, and then j when secured it is good economy to take good care of them. The loss of farming tools by needles exposure is an anormous sum, much of whic'a cou'd' aasily be saved with proper care iu ulor ing away. The fruit of the peaeb is borne on last ! year'r growth of wood' on account of the freezing of this new growth during the l winter. Defer pruning until Bpring ! Mn.l after that cuttiogut of the frozen ! wood will be all the pruning that will j be necessary. I Sometimes the trees- are severely in- I jured by freezing so Sard as to split Daaiy. mis can often be cured by heat- ing ZTafting Wax and pouring OVtT a i . - . piece or strip of rnueiin sufficiently large to cover the entire wound and j then tie with a string of the same ma ' terial. j. Necessary repairing oE-the farm tool a ! needed in the spring cau 3lways be done I to a sooJ advantage during the winter, i and often considerable valuable time be ! Baved tuan :r delayed until time to comraence work in the spring, while in manv asecs the cost will be much less. Tbe hen i9 literally aa egg machine, her chief purpose beiLg the pro.luclion of eggs.

Dense fogs are a perpetual nightmare to London railway managers. Tbe er ratic character of the fogs Is what makes the chief trouble. No orje knows whither the fog comes or whence it goes, and it gives no notice of its ap pearance or departure. Tbe sun may be shining In Hyde Park and Cannon street may be wrapped in palpable gloom, On the first appearance of the fog men are stationed near every rail way algaal, to place explosive waifers on the line, and so convey to tho ears of the drivers the warning whicn they cannot -ee with their eyes.
