THE HONEY BEE BUSINESS XT HAS BECOME A GREAT INDUS TRY Of THIS CJOUNTBY. California the Heaviest Distributing Point—Difference in Honey—Curi ous Ways of Bees. 1 To learn all about honey, honey bees, and the honey industry of the world has been the life work of a Brooklyn man, Mr. W. M. Hoge, who returned from Paris not long after showing Parisians what kind of honey America can pro duce. To a reporter of the New York Sun Mr. Hoge said: "I have thoroughly canvassed every large city in Europe and America in sell ing honey, and it is true that more honey is bought for table use in and near New York city than in any other spot in the world. There are in New York and Brooklyn eight concerns which deal ex clusively in honey and keep twenty-six wagons carrying on business with the re tail grocers. In this way about a ton of honey a day is sold, or considerably over 312 tons a year. This, of course, does not include the large quantity distributed to outside towns by wholesale dealers. However, while local consumption of honey is greater in New York and vicin ity than any whero else on earth, the largest general distribution is from Cali fornia. Wo shipped from Southern California last year, mostly to Eastern States, 900,000 pounds of extracted honey, while 1,000,000 pounds were sent out in 1888, 950,000 pounds in 1887, 2,000,000 pounds in 1886, and 1,270,000 pounds in 1885. To Europe from San Francisco last yenr 1745 cases of extracted honey were sent. In the past seven years an average of 7500 cases per year was sent by sailing vessels to foreign ports, mostly to England. AVe send honey to Australia, the Sandwich Islands, British Columbia, and even to India. This foreign demand was aroused by the 100 tons of American honey which I took to England in 1877. "To most persons honey is honey, and nothing else," continued Mr. Hoge, "but there is a great diversity in the flavor and color, caused by the different plants from which it is gathered. It varies as the flowers vary in the various districts where the honey is gathered, and, by a little practice, a blindfolded man can distinguish the different flavors in wines. Bee culture has so far pro gressed of late that beekeepers,by a little intelligent management, can keep the various flavors of honey separate. To those who persist in the habit of eating honey and hot biscuits for supper, a slow educational process has been of ad vantage in learning the different flavors of honey, and there has come to be a scale of value in the market according to the flavor. The favorite flavors arc white clover, basswood, white sage, Spanish needle, golden rod, eucalyptus and orange blossom. The medicinal principle of plants, furthermore, is contained in the honey in greater purity than the pharmacists have yet discovered- A tea spoonful of honey gathered from smart weed causes profuse perspiration. You remember that Xenophon noticed that soldiers of the Ten Thousand, on tlieir march througa Colchis, who ate honey gathered from the poppy flower, 'lost their senses.' They fell asleep through opium eating, that was all. Honey gathered from blossoms of the fig tree is a laxative, while honey from the hore hound flower is,with many,a specific for Doughs and sore throats. It has been discovered also that bee stings made into 1 lotion are a specific for rheumatism, gout and lumbago. I have made some liniment myself by pulling out the bee stings. The operation is naturally a de licate one. I take up the bee—alive, of course—with a pair of jeweler's tweezers, and by squeezing it the bee thrusts out the sting. This is grasped with another pair of tweezers and the sting and little poison sack pulled out. I have made, as I believe, several cures of rheumatism by the aid of the lotion. "It is a curious fact," continued Mr. Hoge, "that a bee will return time after time to the same flower, although its hive may be a mile or more distant. How did I discover it? By sitting down be side a flower blossom, and when a bee alighted sprinkling a little flour on him. While sitting and watching for the bee to return, another strange thing I ob served. The nectar from which the bee distils his honey gathers slowly on the petals of the flower and forms a very tiny drop at the bottom Of the cup. If a bee happens to alight at that instant on the blossom he sucks the nectar into his honey sack and flies off to the hive with it, but if the bee does not come just at that minute then the drop of nectar is evaporated by the sun and wind. Per haps this happens a score of times in a bee district before a bee visits a blossom. Taking into consideration all the flowers that bloom in this big country, and the nectar that is evaporated only to perfume the air, there is as much wealth lost every summer from failure to gather the honey as there is gold dug out of the mines in California. I can remember the time when in Southern California the natural luxuriance of plants was not checked by grazing of cattle, and from Washington Territory to Lower California and fiom the Sierras to the Pacific Ocean was one vast bee garden. For, at that time, there was not a bee hive in the State. Now it is the chief honey producing State in the Union. ' 'There were no honey bees in California until C. A. Sheldon arrived in San Fran cisco overland from New York city in 1853 with twelve swarms, of which but one survived. He was followed in 1857 by J. 8. Harbison, who reached Sacra mento City with sixty-two colonies. Now we estimate the crop of honey in California for 1889 at 2,000,000 pounds of extracted honey and 200,000 pounds of comb honey, and it was a poor year for honey, too. More honey is wasted now than there is gathered, for want of bees to collect it." "How long docs it taketfor bees to gather a pound of,honey?" "That depends (entirely on - the nature ef the Maßon f " s relied Mr. Hoge, "but it ia usually the fact that one bee with all its industry will not,in it* i entire lifetime, gather more than a teas poo nful of fhoney. Reckoning eight, teas pooni'uls in an ounce the sixteen ounces in a pound of hone; would require the Jifeworlc of 128 bees." "Does it pay to.keerp baes?" "There are now about* 3D0,000/ bee keepers in the United states-whose tranks are rapidly being re-enfonced hymen and women who go into beekeeping as a hob by or for experiment, and who find, the pursuit so fascinating that theyaoan make it their solevoccupation. There is no danger of the ' country being? over stocked, for, on aniaverage,every fecre of land will support a hive of bees. I know a man, C. F. Greeiiyag, of / Grand Meadow, Minn., who hod three swarms that multiplied ' in one j year to nineteen swarms,whilevDtr. C. Mj. Joslin, of Saginaw, Mich., hadUwo swurms mul tiply in one summer to l;hirty-four swarms, nnd J. 8. Marble, of* Chanute, Kan., increased one swaim.tonhirteonin one season. The business oftenipays 100 percent., and.not infrequently »500 per cent, proflt. Professor* C'ook.s of the Michigan Agricultural College a); Lans sing,says ho netted a profit* of-§ 24 a hive in one summer. Mrs. Barker, *>f Lans sing, estimatesvher proflt at- §l)9 a hive, while J. M. Stevenson, of 'Crawford. County, Pennsylvania, realized $35 a hive. Mr. J. E. Pleasants,, of Los Angeles County,\ California,. who had forty-five swarms one suinmfer, tells mo he saw them multiply to lOCVw warms and got 10,000 pounds; of extracte d honey in one year. A. A. Baldwin, of Sandusky, N. Y. .reports 175 pounds of)comb honey per hive." "All the important improvements in bee-keeping aro of oompai sitively recent invention," continued Mr;. Hoge. "A minister of theiGospel, tlio Rev. L. L. Langstroth.ilias done the* honey-loving world the greatest, benefit.' by inventing movable comb hiv«es, by means of whicli both bees anwouldlbe awful mis erable. Great haste can never overtake a golden opportunity that has been suffered to escape. Unless a man has a character that won't show dirt he hadtbetter keep out of polities. People who stand on a haystack and try to look over a mountain won't see very much. A fool is his own worst enemy. He builds a house without windows, and lives in the dark. It sometimes takae a long while to build a fort, but it isia splendid thing to have in time of war. When you come to dio will there bo anything you have done that will make you glad you have lived? The boy who is pulling the sled up hill doesn't mind it. because ho is thinking of what a nice time he will have riding back. Some people will work harder than going a fishing simply for the purpose of having their own way about some thing. The man who achieves is the one who has an idea and believes in it.

In 1806 there were thirty-five transla tions of the Scriptures in existence. A very large proportion of the fish sold as sardines are in reality Cornish pil chards. There is a spring in Georgia which has the reputed quality of curing the taste for strong drinks. The largest fresh water lake completely within the boundary of a single State of the United States is Lake Okeechobee, in Florida. A statistical crank computes that 37,- 000.000 babies are born every year, and that their cradles placed in line would reach round the globe. A Danbury (Conn.) lady has a dress, worn by a bride ia the year 1700, that weighs only three ounces. It is white, cut low in the neck, sleeveless and well preserved. A newspaper in Florida tells about a flower that is a mottled yellow, with a rough leaf, and in appearance and smell resembles a frog very much. It is called the "frog cactus." Among tho Romans there were two different palms; one corresponding to the breadth, and the other to the length of the hand. Tho former was 2912, the latter 8737 English inches. The culinary art even owes that favor ite potage, ox tail soup, to the thrifty Huguenots, who were accustomed to pur chase at peppercorn prices the caudal ap pendages of bovine origin, which had hitherto been thrown away as offal by the Wliitechapel butchers. A "lion tamer" tells a New York keeper that after a lion has been in cap tivity for a year he is no more dangerous than tho average dog, and that the trainer who enters a cage runs less risfc than the tramp who enters a yard where a Newfoundland keeps guard. Throughout France gardening is prac tically taught in the primary and ele mentary schools. There are about 28,000 of these schools, each of which has a garden attached to it, and is under the care of a master capable of imparting a knowledge of the Crst principles of hor ticulture. The other day a Minnesota clergyman traveled thirty miles, made six calls, vis ited two schools, gave an afternoon lec ture and shot seven jack rabbits, all be tween sunrise and sunset, and he said it wasn't a good day for pastoral work either. The "gopher" clergymen are hustlers. Eugene Mercadier, of Missouri, suc ceeded in swimming from the Brooklyn (N. Y.) Navy Yard to Old Slip, New York city, with his arms and legs tightly bound and, carrying a two-pound iron dumb-bcit in each hand. He suffered greatly, as the water was very rough and the rope and strap with which ho bound, not having been soaked, shrank and cut into the flesh. At a late meeting of the Royal Botanic Society, London, an interesting sweet scented fern from the society's garden was exhibited. The perfume closely re sembles that of fresh hay, and, like it, is retained after the frond is dry, and lasts for many months, if not years, imparting its fragrance to anything in contact with it. The secretary thought it might be grown as a source of perfume by ama teurs, if not commercially. The Dangerous "Sea-Poose." A writer in Scribner , on "Surf and Surf-Bathing," says: It may be well to speak here of another phenomenon not infrequently observed. Ido not recall ever seeing the name by which it is known in print, and as the word is ig nored by Webster, I shall invent my own spelling and write it "sea-poose." This term is loosely used on different parts of the coast, but the true significance of it is briefly this: There will sometimes come at every bathiug-ground, days when the ocean seems to lose its head and to act in a very capricious way. On such occasions it often happens that the beach is cut away at some oue point, presuma bly where the sand happens to be softer and less capable of resisting the action of Hie water. There will then be found a little bay indenting the shore, perhaps ten feet, perhaps ten yards. The waves rolling into such a cove are deflected somewhat, and "set" together at its head, so that two wings of a breaker, so to speak, meet, and, running straight out from the point of junction, form a sort of double "under-tow," which will, if the conditions that cause it continue, cut out along its course a depression or trench of varying depth and length. It can be readily understood that such a trench tends to strengthen the current that causes it, and these two factors, act ing and reacting upon each other, occa sion what might be called an artificial "under-tow" which is sometimes strong enough to carry an unwary bather some distance out, in a fashion that will cause him either to be glad he is, or to wish he were,within the rectangle of the life lines. I have sometimes heard old surfmen speaft of what they call a "false poose," but I have never been able to find out just what was meant by the expression, much less its causes and character. I shall therefore leave the question for those who delight to delvo into the myeteriea of local nomenclature- Get The Best 1, » good motto to follow In buying a raedlotne, as well as In everything else.

The Russian sculptor and Socialist, Kamcnski, who, for sixteen years, has found a refuge in the United States, at tracts attention by the depth of a scar over his right eyebrow. The scar is not connected with some romantic talo of Siberian horror. It is the result of a kick of a Kansas mule. No little sur prise was created at the time that it did not cause instant death. It came, how ever, very noar doing so. The sculptor was taken up unconscious, and when his reason returned he was told he was about to die. In a semi-comatose state he made his last will and awaited the end. Mean while over the wires flnshed the hews of the a3sassinatiou of Guar Alexander. A friend who knew Kamenski's principles vowed he should not die without hearing the news, and, evading the doctor in at tendance, she cautiously stole to his bed side and whispered in his ear the fate of the autocrat. The fnst-chilling blood became warmed and pulsed gleefully through the feeble heart, life was re newed and Kamcnski recovered.— The Epoch. Nature's Hotel. The most remarkable hotel Id the world is in California, on the road be tween Santa Cruz and San Jose. It is a well-known fact that California possesses the largest trees in the world, and a shrewd hotel builder has conceived the idea of using a group of these mammoth?) thus saving himself the cost of building or rent. The hollow trunk of one tree, whose circumference is about twenty two yards, is arranged as a reception room, and the surrouuding garden, sheltered by a thick roof of spreading branches, serves as dining-room and smoking-room. A number of other smaller hollow trunks make comfortable bed-rooms, furnished in the most ap proved style, and some trees at a little distance are occupied by the hotel staff. —jS'ew York Ditpatch.
