WBrn You <iel Home.
Au amiwlng experience recently be
fell a well known down town hardware
man WlM>- resides 011 one of the pretty
side streets in Brooklyn.
Having arrived home from business a
little earlier than usual, he found that
his wife had gone out. presumably
calling, while the children were in the
basement noisily playing. He de
tided to improve the opportunity by do
ing some writing and Quietly let him
self into the house with a latchkey. He
was soon busily engaged at his desk
in an up stairs room. Occasionally he
would arise and walk across the floor
or go into another room for some pur
pose or other.
By and by the children in the base
ment, having quieted down in their
play, heard footsteps up stairs and,
knowing their mother to be absent and
not having seen their father enter,
promptly decided that burglars were in
the house.
In a flash tlio.v were speeding toward
a nearby police station, where they
breathlessly informed the sergeant that
burglars were surely at work at their
home.
Five sturdy bluecoats responded I <
the call at a double quick. Arriving at
the residence of the hardware man. the
house was surrounded while the big
gest ami bravest policeman iu I lie lot
entered. He tiptoed sofll \ up the stairs
and beheld the head of the house seat
ed at a desk quietly writing.
The surprise, the explanation and the
laugh that followed can better be
imagined than described.—Cleveland

STRENGTH OF GIBRALTAR.
II m Overwhelming KfFeef 1 |#on nn
American Tourixt.
"There is no doubt that Gibraltar is,
from the nature of its location, the
strongest fort I tied spot ou earth," said
a recently returned tourist, but the
English officers who are 011 duty there
seem impressed with the idea that
there is some weak spot about the
place and that some American may
discover it. They have very nonsensi
cal rules and regulations governing the
fortilication, and one of them is that
no American can he admitted to the
fortified places, though they are al
lowed to wander all around the outside
as long as they care to.
"1 do not think tin combined guns of
tiie rest of the world, all working to
gether and for 12 hours each day, Sun
days and public holidays Included, for
one year, could seriously interfere with
Gibraltar beyond cutting off the mail
communication. The walls are solid
rock a quarter of a mile thick, and
such a thing as doing any damage in
a military sense would be simply non
sense. Gibraltar could resist any at
tack, and the conditions there are such
tiiat the attacking party would neces
sarily have to lie exposed iu making
its attack. This exposure would have
to be within range of the guns of the
fort, even if they are 50 years out of
date. Consequently they would be
nearly as effective as modern guns,
for with all that is claimed for modern
warfare there probably never will be
any lighting done when the opposing
parties are out of sight of each other.
"While all this is admitted by mili
tary men of all countries, it seems
funny that there should be anything
of a secret or hidden character about
Gibraltar that Americans should not
be allowed to Inspect as freely as the
people of other countries are. ling
land may be whipped sorue time in the
history of the world, but the defeat
will not take place at Gibraltar, I as
sure you."—Washington Star.
SCENERY FOR A NEW PLAY.
ltd I'rcpnriitlon In Modern Theater*
fin Interesting PruoeMN.
The preparation for a new play, as
far as the scenery is concerned, is most
interesting. A complete model in min
iature Is made, about the size of one
of the Germun toy theaters seen in the
shops. The picture is carefully painted;
the rocks, if there be any, and the
foliage are cut out, and all the details
are followed with no less thought than
when the real affair Is attacked.
The work is done in water color,
mounted on pasteboard, and If the
scheme be an interior there are real
curtains in miniature, (lights of steps,
and the hangings, all seriously worked
out. It Is something that would de
light the heart of a boy and furnish
him with endless amusement. These
models are kept until after the piece
is produced, and are then put away
on shelves, alas! only to warp and be
come covered with dust.
Hut the master painter's work does
not end here by any means, for there
are lights to be arranged, since they
play an important part In the per
formance and must be regulated by
the scheme of color; so there are long
conferences with electricians and many
discussions with the makers of glass
shades whereby the exact tints may bo
obtained.
When every detail lias been settled,
then the great acres of canvas are
spread on the paint frames, nnd the
drawing is begun. Large china pots
are used for the colors. These are tilled
with paints, which are mixed with
water and a size, ami enormous
brushes put the pigment on the can
vas. It is wonderful to watch the
artist, who dashes on the paint with
no apparent care and who has to work
fast to cover the surface before the
color dries, which it does quickly.—

A BEE TALK.
I'P to tlalr Huotri and Hive* That
Are Every Man'* Privilege.
There are many advantages in keep
ing bees in a house. While there are
many apiarists who use beehouses ex
clusively. the majority do not There
are also many different kinds and va
rieties of houses used. A beehouse
need not be an expensive one, and al
most any kind of house will answer
the purpose. None is better than an
old dwelling house, and two or more
rooms are the more convenient, provid
ed they have an outside face of one
end or side, or both.
Perhaps a two room house with one
partition is the best. Such a house
with two ordinary sized rooms, say 14
feet square, will give 112 feet of out
side surface, but take off 12 feet for
doors, etc., and the 100 feet left will
accommodate 50 colonies of bees by
setting the hives two feet apart from
center to center, which will give ample
working room. The entrances are cut
through to the outside and made to cor
respond to the entrance to the hives.
The hives may be set directly ou the
floor, but 1 would prefer them set on
the usual bottom boards, nailed to
cleats at each end. that would raise
the hive some four inches from the
floor, this for the purpose of chaff
packing in winter. Bees thus kept in
a house are very easily prepared for
winter, and the extra protection thus
afforded brings them through the win
ter in prime order.
A very cheap beehouse and a very
convenient one that I have used and
which I make exclusively for bees is a
small house 10 feet long. 0 feet wide
and t> feet high. This building accom
modates 11 colonies, and the expense
does not exceed $1 per colony. This
is no more than chaff hives will cost
for each colony outside. Floor space

LATEST ITIVES COMPLETE,
for the hives to rest on only Is used, as
a ground floor in the center is prefer
red. The objection to a much longer
house ou the same plan is that ii is not
convenient to move, and also that bees
become more or less confused where
so many entrances are close together
and all have the same appearance.
This has always been the objection to
beehouses, but small buildings such as
these, located around at different
places, overcome this objection.
In addition to the foregoing para
graphs by A. 11. Duff of Kansas, The
Farm. Field and Fireside illustrates
the latest style of hives, with the state
ment that they are no man's private
property, but about every beekeeper's
furniture, set! now almost exclusive
ly by all specialists. No. 1 is a hive
arranged for comb honey with two
supers, each containing 24 one pound
section boxes, thus saving a surplus
capacity of 48 pounds. The brood
chamber contains eight of the stand
ard frames. Hive No. 2is simply two
brood chambers, the upper set of
frames used for extracting honey.
A Hum!)- Device.
In making a husking horse an Ohio
Farmer correspondent employs a pair
of old wheels of convenient size, an
FOU HTTSKIXO AND FODDER CARTING,
axle of gas pipe the desired length and
two pieces 1 by 3 and 10 feet long for
sides. These are made up like a wheel
barrow. Then lie puts uprights in a
slant over the wheels. You can husk
on one end and pile the fodder on the
other end. He uses it for carting fod
der from one shock to the other and
has hauled live shocks at once 011 it. It
is very handy in winter, when feeding
when the ground is frozen, to wheel
fodder or straw on.
N!tr»Krn For Grnaa,
The Ithode Island experiment sta
tion atiirms that two points are well
illustrated by its receut experiments
as to the effect of nitrogen ou grass
and clover:
1. 111 order to secure large crops of
grass, considerable quantities of Im
mediately 'issimilnble nitrogen, prefer
ably in the form of nitrate, must be at
hand early iu the season. The earll
ucss of the application is an Important
feature iu a dry season like that dur
ing a part of May and June in the year
1890.
2. Good crops of clover can be grown
upon limed land without an artltlcial
supply of nitrogen. This was also dem
onstrated here in a former experiment.
