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 We do not cite these incidents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

very large proportion of the supply of
Virginia peanuts is obtained.

The best queens I ever owned were
Italians, evenly colored, very; bright
golden, and of good size. 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

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.

In the revolutionary war. Shepherd

POULTRY PARAGRAPHS.
Hens should be kept quiet and com
fortable. 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.

Washington before he was 25. 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

ened to find hundreds of men at work
on the streets. It was the advance
guard of "Boss" Shepherd's legions.

iiTitaliility or uneasiness or unre

those with whom the cunons of good
breeding are more potent thnn the

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

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

It is the purt of wiHdom for us to
guard that.
