Always SumrthlBK t Lrars, Scientific concliisions arc not al ways infallible. A scientific commls- lion announced the day before the eruption of Mount Pelee that the location of St. Pierre was such that its security was com plete. T.ien something happened. About 20 years ago, recalls Koswell Field, in the C'hluago Post, a learned man of sci -iice wrote a beautifully profound -'.vutlse' to prove that Huch was the T 'culldr location of Kansas City that any tornado cloud formed i:t the vicinity would be diverted bv ! he air currents' and carried along i the course of two rivers. This, right in the middle of the tornado season, allayed the fears of the citizens until two or three days later, when a tor nado came bowling along from south east Kansas and toppled over some of the most distinguished religious and cimmercial institutions in Kansas City. We do not cite these incidents in derision of science, or in order to scoff at truly wise men. We merely rise to remark that we live to learn. The tragedy that has occured hi the Kurd family suggests to me, writes a lawyer to the New Y'ork Sun, that many parents make a fatal mistake in ignoring the rights of certain of their children in their wills. No matter how much the conduct of a child may dis please the parent, that child should not be cut out of the will entirely and left with the proverbial shilling. Such s will, in most cases, creates a terrible family feud, and the result is generally that the disinherited one becomes a vagabond or a drunkard. No matter how wayward a child may be. a decent sense of parental feeling ought to in spire the parent to remember him fairly in the making of the will. In the city of Hot Spring., Ark., run ning is a misdemeanor. Any person going faster than a walk is arrt.-tcd and fined. This law Is in the interest of invalids who throng the streets and suffer relapse, from the excitement caused by the undue haste of a stran ger. One who runs is supposed to be a thief, murderer or csenped luixitic. Peanuts were first grown to any ex tent in (rginia. hyice the name Vir ginia peanuts.

Beware of the waspish, tapering queen that shows one or two golden bands and the rest of the body very dark. They ure not so prolific aa solid' golden queens and were not ao good workers in my apiary. Moreover, they were ready to fight at every opportunity. I prefer even color first, build next, and the more golden the better. Some beekeepers make a great ado if anything is mentioned about a different sized hive or section from the one they are using. Such ideas would keep us all in the ruts to gether. A difference in the alze of hives is very necessary to suit the great variations of climate. A shal low frame that would allow a large top surplus and winter the bees well in the sunny south, where 'they are confined in the hives only a few days at a time, would be very risky where the bees are confined from 00 to 90 days. It would not allow the bees to form in a cluster deep enough for safe wintering. 1-arge sections are easily disposed of among farmers, lumbermen and those who labor in shops, but city people who do light work like small sections the best. I have often thought a section thot could be re tailed for a dime would meet with much favor in the cities. Odd size sections insure fresh made ones, which are less liable to break than standard make, which are sometimes several years old and very brittle. Square sections do not look well. Alt the odd sizes I ever used were a lit tle longer than wide. Those who intend to purchase a site for an apiary should make a thorough investigation to learn what wild flowers or cultivated crops will produce honey for several years within a mile of the apiary. The ex perience of 40 years in bee keeping has caused me ft. believe there is but very little honey gathered outside of a radius of one mile from an apiary if there is a fair amount of flora within that distance. Of the several hundred lines of bees that I have fol lowed to a termination not half a dozen went the distance of a mile. A. H. Johns, in Farm and Home. HIS SINS F0EGIVEN.

He is 07 years of age, and enjoys the distinction of being the best loved and best hated man that the capital city ever knew. Alexander U. Shepherd's name will live in hiatory as the originator of the new Washington. After all is aid and done, the work of the ex perts who have planned the future Washington as a city of delight bad the basis of "Boss" Shepherd's work to go upon. That is how he derived bl sobriquet of "boss." For three years he was the absolute ruler of Washington, and in that time spent $ lO.OUO.OUO in making1 it what it is to (luy. Alexander II. Shepherd, says the Philadelphia Press, is a native of Washington, lie was born in the flats" January 13, 1835. His parents were in ordinary circumstances. His ancestors for 150 years had lived in this country; some of them fought In the revolutionary war. Shepherd himself was for a time a soldier in the late war. His father became well-to-do before his death, which enabled the boy to obtain a pretty fair education. He entered Colum bian university. But the execu.or of the estate, it is said, stole the money and young Alexander started to learn a trade to help support the family. Then he became a shoe salesman, and later learned to be a plumber and gas fitter. Within eight years of en tering, his apprenticeship he was a pa-tner. Within the next 12 years he had built more than 400 houses In Washington. His prominence in business led him Into politics. He was a member of AN EXCELLENT COOP.

Do not have the mash sloppy; it should be crumbly. I If laying hens are confined they should have meat or milk. Allow us much exercise as possible to all classes of poultry. Unless a fowl is very valuable it 1 does not pay to doctor it. J Sorghum and broom-corn seeds are excellent as a variety feed. i (iive your house plenty of fresh air every day, winter and summer. Milk may be profitably fed in any form sweet, sour or buttermilk. The poultry house should be white washed inside and out, roof and sides. 'Hie time of hatching is of more importance thnn the breed, if you want winter eggs. Young ducks should be sold as early ns possible, and to that end should be pushed to get their growth, Commercial Poultry. Feed I ok Mrat to Poeltrr. When feeding meat to hens do not use that portion which Is fat. The object in feeding meat to hens is to supply them with nitrogen and not fat, us the grain contains all the fat and starch required for them. If the, fat is fed 'it does not assist in any manner to provide material for eggs, but rather retards than assists lay ing. The cheap portions of beef, such as the neck, are better for fowls than the choicest fat and lean steaks. Blood is excellent for fowls, and can be easily fed to tbem by mixing it with their soft food. The ordinary ground meat contains both fat and lean, and sells for about three cents a pound; but as the meat is subject ed to heavy pressure at a nigh tem perature most of the fat Is removed.

Two years after, in 1862, he became presi dent of the body. He was a member of the levy court in 1867, and presi dent of the Citizens' Iteform associa tion in 1870. Then congress turned Washington and the District of Co liimhia into a territorial government. He was appointed governor of the district, and president of the board of public works. He hnd always borne the reputation of being a pro gressive, liberal, yel determined man. Washington at this time wns n drowsy, half-northern, half-southern city. It had been laid out on liberal lines but had sever conformed to them. It had no adequate building laws. Its streets were mud holes in winter and dust distributors in summer. Shepherd determined to niter this. He had the power nnd he proceeded to use it. One morn ing the people of the old town wak ened to find hundreds of men at work on the streets. It was the advance guard of "Boss" Shepherd's legions. Within the n.v.t Jkr; years, from June 1, 1S71, to June 24, Is74, "Boss" Shepherd ruled Washington with a rod of iron. Mcs wlis b.-un by praising him ended by cursing him As improvements grew taxes in creased. Many men wi-re financially ruined by the burdens imposed upon them. Newspapers in other citie.. were the only avenues for the male dictions of the citizens; the local papers were bound hand and foot bj the influence of the "boss" or si' lenced by a knowledge that he wns doing the right thing in improving Washington, although it was unpop ular at the time. Nothing halted his determination The city became a hive of municipal Industry. All streets of any impor tance underwent transformation They were graded, sewered and paved, and it is now admitted that the work was well and admirably done. Some idea of the improve ments that Shepherd made in Wash ington may be gleaned from these Interesting figures. He planted more than 10,000 trees' nnd paved 118 miles of streets, besides laying 207 miles of sidewalks. His army of men dug ond carted away 3,340,000 cubic yards of earth. He had con structed 317.1V4 fat of pipe sewers of 12 to 13 haehas la dJameler; four miles of sewara trwa It to 30 feet in diameter and ova f va sslles of sew ers from 3 to f Hat la diameter.

There are those with whom the cunons of good breeding are more potent thnn the laws of Chrlstiun conduct. But hap pily, remarks the Uoston JVntchman, both here are ut one. ltnth condemn displays of temper. Serenity is the requirement of the social law, and peace of mind is the sovereign grace of the (iospel. There lire, to be sure, times when both the soeiul and divine law wnrrnnt a display of passion. The inn n who does not kindle when he sees a brute torturing a child, or striking a woman, is unworthy of his manhood. Only the occasion must be commensurate with the display. The great trouble with most of us is that by reason of a false perspective we magnify trifles out of all relation tn their importance and keep our selves in a state of constant irritabil ity or disturbance. We spend so much emotion on broken crockery that we cxhaiiHt ourselves for any exercise of righteous anger and keep ourselves constantly unhappy. There are few wrongs that anyone can do us so se rious as breaking our peace of mind. It is the purt of wiHdom for us to guard that. Jn.t What He Needed.
