Alfred Tennyson Dickens, the eldest surviving sou of Charles DickenB, has strongly protested against the published reports of his father s 111 feeling toward Thackeray. He recalls the fact that his father was the chief mourner at Thack funeral in Kensal Green and also immense: number of laws and eray s . wrote a biographical sketch which did full justice to the genius and merits of the author of 'Vanity Fair' and Ten dennis.'" Mr. Dickens adds that many a time he has heard his father speak in the most glowing terms of Thackeray's wonderful versatility. A familiar figure in Toronto is Cold win Smith. Every fine day he takes his carriage drive, and one sees a shrunken old man, as thin as he Is tall, silent and grave of demeanor, preoccupied, it would seem, with his own thoughts. "One might make the mistake of supposing," said an observer, "that the aged citizen —he has celebrated his eightieth birth day—was a dyspeptic pessimist, uat life had lost Its charm for him and that time had forgottrti him In Its merciless march toward a future that is never overtaken. Such is one picture of the old professor—a mental snap shot taken Irom a curbstone." Slaw X] iC, M\o, e's Tv HANDLING COMB HONEY. Well-Known Aplnrl.t Tell. About .Method Frnctlcerl by Him with Considerable Sucre... All strong colonics, when run for comb honey, will generally cast a swarm. The parent colony should be set aside and the swarm hived on the old stand In order to catch all the held bees, and will strengthen the swarm considerably. Id four or five days after the swarm has been hived, the bees will have some comb built in the brood nest and the queen will begin laying in it. The super, which Is now probably partly filled with honey, can be taken from the parent colony and put on the swarm, and they will soon have SHW8B \\ COMB HONEY IN SECTIONS, it filled. ThiB should, however, not be done too soon, for the comb in the sec tions will induce the queen to commence laying in them and spoil a lot of nice white sections, as bees in variably start at the top and work downward, if the queen should lay in the sections, which sometimes happens to most careful apiarists. The honey can be extracted from them and the combs melted into wax. When the bees commence to cap the middle sections, the upper should be lifted and an empty one put under it, and when the top one is completed the under one will probably be half filled. They should then be lifted and a third put under the other two and a bee es cape should be slipped under the top super. In a day or two the bees will have all made their exit through the bee escape in the board and the super will then be ready to come off. It is not advisable to leave comb honey on the hive after it is all capped. Care should be taken about keeping the honey when off the hives. It should be kept in a warm, dry room. Capped honey, when taken from the hive, Is thoroughly ripened and there Is noth ing in it to ferment, unless it is put in a damp place, where it will absorb moisture, which will cause it to sour and burst the cappings. Any place where salt will keep dry is a good place to keep honey. When selling honey to grocers there is nothing neater to pack it in than 24-pound shipping cases, made of nice white basswood, as shown in the picture. They are easily han dled and the honey is well protected, for the sections fit in the case neatly and snugly. When selling honey from the house by the section, we use a nicely printed cardboard cartoon, with a tape hffndle. which is neatly folded together with the ends tucked in, and j ist in cases a pound box of honey.—G. Her man, in Orange Judd Farmer POULTRY IN WINTER. Green fnt Bone I. the Best Fond. Pro Tided It Is Given Proportions. In Proper The season of green cut bone Is now upon us. We all know that there is no better food. That is a fact. But many a breeder has caused himself and fowls no end of trouble by the improper feed ing of this excellent ration, remarks an Iowa poultryman in Poultry Herald. It is the easiest thing in the world to throw fowls oft their feed by improper ly feeding green cut bone. When the birds are in this condition—off their feed—they are in an unnatural condi tion, and cannot gain in flesh or egg production. It would be impossible here to state the exact amount of food. No two men feed alike, exactly. I have given this matter careful attention. Like every other breeder who ever pur chased a bone mill, overfed for a time. As a result that greatly Increased egg yield diu not follow the feeding of green cut bone. Nor would the fowls partake of food as they should. Expe rience has taught me that the breeds of fowls I handle should receive about four ounces each of the bone a week. Instead of feeding the green cut bone by itself, as is usually done, it should be mixed with soft feed. As stated, no definite rule can be laid down as to just how much of this ration should be fed. Some breeds will stand up under these rich foods better than others. I am satisfied, however, that to get the best results green cut bone and blood meal, and so forth, should be fed spar ingly. Such materials should not be made to take the place of regular foods. Flax Feed (or Cattle. Prof. Henry, who has made such ex tensive experiments in feeding, says: "Stockmen who have fed flax seed to horses and cattle report satisfactory re sults from its use. Frequently some flax seed is left In the straw, which In creases Its value. There seems no foun dation for the statement that the fiber of flax straw forms balls of indigestible matter In the stomach of farm animals. '' We would suppose that in order to secure the most nutriment In the straw it should be cut about the time the podsare of full size, but before they commence to ripen.—Rural World. Goad Shelter (or Stock. Good shelter for the stock la abso lute economy. With warmth there musl tie an ample supply of pure, fresh air. The time may come when we shall find coal cheaper than the extra food needed to sustain vital heat under extreme cold, and use fire heat for our animals. At present we must keep our stables aa warm and dry as we can. But pure air, with severe cold, and plenty of food, is preferable to warm, impure stables, with food saved.—Farm Journal. NATURE IS WONDERFUL. There In Heaaun for f he Special Shape i ad Tenure for Every Leaf In Kalsteace. Even the most cursory observer of vegetable life must have been struck with the various forms of leaves. Why they should be so variously formed does not, however,often suggest Itself, though there Is a reason for the special shape and texture of almost every leaf In exist ence. Plants, such as grasses, daffodils and others which usually grow In clus ters, have generally narrow leaves grow ing upright, so as not to overshade one another. Other plants of Isolated habits have arrangement of foliage which se cures to themselves the space of ground necessary for their development. The daisy, dandelion, shepherds purse— which may mostly be seen in pastures —are examples of this. A circle of broad leaves pressed against the ground, form ing what Is known as the rosette growth, effectually bars the approach of any oth er plant, and keeps clear from all other roots the space of ground necessary to Its own nutriment. Floating leaves and leaves of marsh plants are usually of sim ple outline, for, having no competitors, they are not liable to get in one another's light. Submerged plants have mostly leaves of narrow segment—the reason for which Is not very well understood, although it Is assumed by naturalists that it Is for the purpose of exposing sb large a surface as possible, in order to extract the minute proportion of car bonic acid dissolved In a vast bulk ol water. Leaves on the boughs of trees are often much divided, so as to fold easily, to prevent their bding rent and torn by the wind, while the glossy sur face of evergreens is intended to throw off the rain and dew, which might freeze on them, and so cause injury to the tis sues. Wonderful are the ways of Na ture, and the study of her strange se crets unending.—Agricultural Epitom 1st. HOME-SMOKED MEATS.

Make a hole in the ground under the front end of the box, so that the fire made on 1 piece of tin could be shoved under the box. A half head of a barrel can be crowded down by the end of the box, closing the fire hole. All crevices must be banked with dirt to keep the smoke in. Drive strong wire nails near the top of the barrel to hang the hams on. Place a strong paper or canvas over the top of the barrel and add enough bags or blankets to keep the smoke in.—Farm and Home. Dark Hone, Rendered Clesr. With regard to very dark or black honey, of which I have, along with many others, a good quantity on hand this season, it may interest you to know that I gave a bottle of quite black honey to a friend of mine to experiment with, with the object of removing the black ness. He subjected the bottle of honey for about three hours to ozone from an electric machine, and returned It to me perfectly clear and bright. I have not gone very fully into the matter, but if in your opinion it would be of importance to the craft I would do so. I am told that the cost per hundred weight ie trifling. It would appear that the ef fect of the ozone is to cause all the black matter to rise to the surface and then It is skimmed off.—British Bee Journal. New Fuel In California.

Holy Sprluu Which Kell&Ioaa Fervor Credit* with Many Miraculous Carer— Devout Invalids Flock Tkltlier. In this twentieth century we are apt to smile at the superstitutions which religious fervor may produce and fos ter. It seems almost incredible that there are thousands and thousands of poor invalids who believe that the wa ter from a certain holy spring will cure them of their complaints. There is something poetic and mediaeval about such unquestioning faith. The annual pilgrimage to Lourdes is a case in point. Lourdes, in the Hautes Pyre nees, in the south of France, which was once a little unknown village, has now a European reputation, having gained it solely through the numbers of pil grims who visit the place annually. This town, which is beautifully situ ated in a valley opening towards snow clad mountains, 12 miles southwest of Tarbes, dates its prosperity from the year 1858. In that year a young peas ant girl, named Bernadette Soubirons, 2 l"] If 3 itt ■ I a mar.; THE BASILICA OF NOTRE DAME. related that the Virgin had appeared to her. The apparition was repeated sev eral times, and at last a wonderful spring issued from a corner of the grot to where it had been seen. It was soon proclaimed that the spring possessed miraculous qualities, and it says much for the power of the Roman Catholic religion, that on the faith of Berna dette's story hundreds of thousands of persons have visited the cave annually; hospital anti convents, hotels and and a houses, have been built to meet the wants of the pilgrims. The girl's vis ion was declared to be authentic by the Bishop of Tarbes, and the place attracted such a multitude of pilgrims that a railway was built to bring them to the town. In 1876 35 archbishops and bishops, presided over by the Archbishop of Paris ana the Apostolic Nuncio, gave their seal t5 the story of Bernadette by assisting at the dedication of a handsome basilica, built in teenth century style, which was erect ed over the cave. This was only a short time before Bernadette, who had become a nun, died in a convent. The many chapels and corridors below the church are lined with votive offerings. Generals leave their orders and brides their veils. The walls of the upper church are also entirely covered with similar offerings. The first chapel on the left records the 18 appearances of the Virgin and the singular words which Bernadette described her to have spoken: "Go to the fountain, eat of the grass beside it, pray for mankind, tell the priests to build me a chapel; I am the Immaculate Conception." From the upper church paths lead through shrubberies to the grotto beneath, fac ing the river. Here the rock is covered with the crutches of cured cripples. On If! X, Vi sagr 'i . a i 1 BEFORE THE GROTTO. the one side is the fimous fountain, on the other a pulpit from which a priest directs the devotions of the pilgrims. Special trains bring countless invalids to Ixmrdes, and the sight of so much human suffering gatnered in one spot Is deeply pathetic. There are numer ous bands of volunteers at the town who skilfully undertake the organiza tion of the throngs of pilgrims, most of whom are of the poorer class, and who have spent what is to them a large sum on the journey. The majority of the Invalids, unfortunately, return as they came, but their faith Is unshaken; they have not had sufficient faith they say. Among the pilgrims one year was Zola, who went for the purpose of seeking material for his vividly writ ten book, "Lourdes." Apart from the rotlglous excitement which has made Lourdes one of the most prosperous towns In the south of France, it Is a picturesque and beauti ful place, with its old church and mod irnlzed.
