Dividing Bees. The following is a good method of di viding bees, and one that is both practi cal and easily performed by the experi enced : After providing antra hive with empty frames ; or better, frames filled with comb, proceed to open the hive to be divided, after hubduing the bees with smoke or otb <! rvyig(> ) lift out the brood combs wit^ a u adhering bees, until two thirds r jC a jj b roo d is removed placing l h° <ame in the new hive and being care ful not to remove the queen. Fill all »unoccupied space in both hives with 'Comb frames. Locate the new hive some distance from the old. All the old bees will return to the parent hive, but enough young bees will remain to care (or the brood. A fertile queen may be given the new calony after forty-eight hours, or about sunset on the second day, by quietly setting her on one of the broed combs. The bess, being all young, will accept her and the work done. We introduced many queens to new colonies, last season, as here given, without the loss of a single queen. The new colony will not work much for a time, but is generally equal if not supe rior to the parent stock, in a few days. The Hog Cholera, One of the items in the general appro priation bill passsd by Congress is $15. 000 for investigating diseases of swine and infectious and contagious diseases to which all other domesticated animals are subject. The chief object is to find out what are the causes of and what is the remedy for hog cholera, the Texas cattle lever and the pleuropneumonia—these l)eingthe diseases whose ravages are a subject of the greatest concern to farm«* ers. The murrain, known as pleuro pneumonia, has been confined almost ex clusively to the Atlantic States, while the hog cholera and the Texas fever pre^ vail chiefly in the West. Very little has been done to discover the causes of the last-named diseases, although one of them, the hog cholera, as it is generally and improperly called—causes an esti* mated loss of $2,000,000 a year to the farmers of Missouri and Illinois alone. T he legislature of Missouri offered a re^ ward of $10,000 for the discovery of a specific remedy for the hog cholera, but such a remedy has not been discovered, and probably never will be. The true policy is to ascertain the nature and causes of the disease and how to prevent it, and that is what the act of Congress proposes by careful examination and ex periments made by scientific men. If they teach farmers how to protect their herds by feeding and pasturing, the $15, 000 will have been well expended. Boys on the Farm. S. Q. Lent writes as follows to the De troit Free Press : "Why do you take your son from school and put him on the farm at work this year ? Why not let him finish his course of study first, then go to farming if he likes?" I asked of a well-to-do farmer to-day. "I have two reasons," he replied, "first and least in importance, I want to develop his physical self alone with his mind—the former was getting a good ways behind, and no matter what he will do he will want a good body. Secondly and primarily in importance, I wnnted him to learn the worth of a dollar." "But he will learn that soon enough when he has to earn the dollar to sup port himself. Why not give him all the schooling he is to have, then let him use his wits to earn his living, he will know the worth of a dollar?" "No, no," was th6 reply, "it is not safe to do that, the knowledge must come gradually, and the best way to get it is expend muscle for it. I want my boy to understand that workingmen in this world earn their dollar slowly and at a severe cost. I want him to have Buch a fellow feeling for these workers that he will be very careful how he spends his hard-earned dollars. There are so many failures now in which poor hard working people are cheated out of their earnings all because the men who fail never knew the real cost of a dollar, that I am determined this year of ex perience that my boy will get, now that he is budding into manhood, shall be in his favor, and I calculate the money he earns by the sweat of his brow will con vey an everlasting lesson to his mind. He will know what it is to earn money by a «low, honest process, and whatever he may do hereafter the lesson will go with him, and I am satisfied that there is no school in which he can acquire this knowledge so thoroughly as the school of the f&rm." I have been pondering over this con versation a good deal, and can see that there is a goodly amount of sound sense in the old gentelman's views, only I should want to make the labor as pleas ant as possibly ror the boy for the sake Of keeping in him a love fer the farm and its operations. The lesson will be lost if the boy conceives a hatred for farm work, because to will speedly seek an occasion where he thinks the money will come easier, not calculating the chances his experience may become a very bitter one. We cannot be too thoughtful of our irethods in teaching life less«ns. Useful Information. Foe the Sick Canary Bird.— Change of diet ; bread moistened with cream, cured my bird.

Canning Fruit Cold .—A lady in Springfield, Mass, according to the Union, has been making some interesting experiments in putting up canned goods without cooking. Heating the fruit tends more or less to the injury of the flavor, and the lady referred to has found that by filling the cans with fruit and then with pure cold water, and allowing them to stand uatil ail the con fined air has escaped, the fruit will, if then sealed perfectly, keep indefinitely without change or loss of original flavor. Chocolate Custard .—-?ut one and one-half pints of milk, with a cup of sugar in it, into a tin pail and set into a kettle of boiling water ; then put one half pint of milk into a saucepan and add a heaping tablespoonfnl of Baker's chocolate, shaved fine ; boil this slowly a few minutes; wet a tablespoonful of Maizena or corn-starch in |two of cold milk, and when smooth stir into the boiling milk in the pail ; add also the chocolate after straining it, and lastly the b?aten yolks of three eggs ; stir till smooth, flavor with vanilla. Use [more chocolate and sugar if you want it richer; pour into a dish or glass cups. Before serving beat three whites stiff with a spoonful of sugar ard lay on the top. How to Make Coffee .—In the first place, take care to get the best coffee, equal parts of Mocha and Java, already roasted. This kept in a tightly covered jar, and grind it fresh every morning. For three grown people take six table spoonfuls of coffee, put it in a bowl, and break a fresh egg into it, shell and all. Mix till the coffee is wet throughout, then put into a hot tin coffee-pot, turn on two quarts of boiling water, set it on the stove, and let it boil .briskly for ten minutes ; then pour in one-half cup ful of cold water, set it on the table a minute or two to settle, ami then pour through a little wire strainer into the coffee-pot intended for the table. By boiling a jug of milk, to use with the coffee, it can always be good. There is no possible excuse for bad coffee, and yet how seldom do we see it good. Currant Jelly .—Put the currants in a stone jar and set in a kettle of hot water over the fire till the currants are thoroughly heated ; squeeze the currants through a cloth or one of the machines for squeezing fruit ; measure the juice, and to every pint allow a pound of sugar ; put the juice into the preserving kettle, and spread the sugar on pans and set it in the oven; it must be stirred occasionally to prevent it from burning ; let the sugar get very hot, and when the juice has boiled five minutes, stir in the Bugar, and as soon as it comes to a boil again, take it off the fire and put it in the jars ; lay thin paper dipped in brandy over the jelly when it is cold and paste thick paper over the jars. ,?#l] y ma de in this way is clear, firm and keeps very well. Any kind of jelly may be made in the same way. To KiLL.BED-BuG8.-The oaly certain cure for bed-bugs is a solution of corro sive sublimate, which may be obtained at the druggist's. The bedstead* should be taken apart and well washed with cold water and hard soap ; then, with a small, flat brush, the poison should be a^piied to every crack and crevice where a bug may harbor. The poison should be used once or twice a week, as may ta» neces sary. It is a work of time and patience, but if persevered in, this remedy will a effectually destroy the bugs. Corrosive sublimate is a deadly poison, and should be kept out of the way of children and servants. Cement for Iron and Leather.— The metal is warmed and then washed with a hot solution of gelatine or glue, and the leather previously steeped in a hot solution of gall nuts; pressed upon the surface and allowed to cool. Per haps, where Russia or other fancy leather are used, it would be better to apply the infusion of gall nuts to the flesh or rough side of the leather, by means of a sponge, until thoroughly wetted, ft is impor tant that all the articles be wsrmed and kept about as hot as the hand will bear, but no hotter, during the operation, the work done in a warm place, the metal and leather firmly pressed together, nnd the pressure sustained for several hours, cooling gradually. 2. Another method, and one which may be used where the articles are exposed to the weather ; gum shellac and India rubber, in equal pro portions by weight, dissolve in rectified naphtha or coal tar benzole. Dissolve by placing the vessel containing the above articles in another vessel containing hot or boiling water, and as the water cools, replace with more hot water. It must be kept away from the fire or light, as the gases arising from either benzole or naphtha are explosive. Keep everything warm and proceed to unite *s in the first method.—-Keciprocacio. 3. Equal parts of gutta percha and gum shellac melted together will cement iron and leather or iron and wood. Tlic Miller of the Good Ohl Tunes. Ex-Governor Hendricks, who made the opening address at the recent millers' convention at Indianapolis, dwelt affec tionately upon the miller of olden times, as he recalled him. Said he : " As a boy I wa3 acquainted with the miller, and I thought him a great man. When he raised the gate with such confidence and composure, and the tumbling waters drove the machinery ahead, I admired his power. And then he talked strongly xipon all questions. He was very posi tive upon politics, religion, law and mechanics. And any one bold enough to dispute a point was very likely to have a personal argument thrown in his face, for he knew all the gossip among his customers. He was chetrful. I thought it was because he was always in the music of the running water and the whirling wheels. He was kind and clever—indeed, so much so that he would promise the grists before they could be ready, and so the boys ha:l to go two or three times. He was chancellor, and prescribed the law. Every one in his turn. The miller, standing in the door of his mill, all white with the dust, is a picture ever upon the memory of even this genera tion. It is a picture of a manly figure. I wonder if you, gentlemen, the lords of many runs and bolts, are ashamed to own him as your predecessor ? It was a small mill, sometimes upon " a willowy brook," and sometimes upon the larger river, but it stood on the advanced line of the settlement, with its one wheel to grind the Indjgn corn and one for wheat and in the fall and winter season one day in the week set apart for grinding buck wheat. It did the work of the neigh borhood. Plain and unpretentious, as compared with your stately structures, I would not say it contributed less toward the development of the country and the permanent establishment of society. So great a favor it was, and so important to the public welfare, that the authorities that day invoked in its favor the highest power of the state—eminent domain. The mill and miller had to go before you and yours, and I am happy to revive the memory of the miller at the custom mills, who with equal care adjusted the sack upon the horse for the boy to ride upon, and his logic in support of his theory in politics or his dogmas in religion." Undue Familiarity. The late Dr. Sprague, of Albany, was a gentleman of the old school type, of remarkable courteousness of manner and of corresponding reverence of feeling. He never trifled with the names of promi nent men, and it is hardly probable that he could suppose anyone would use his name with undue familiarity. The fol lowing anecdote illustrative of this char acteristic of the grand old man was re lated to us by one of his sons, and subse quently acknowledged, with a hearty laugh, by the older son of whom it was told : One day, at. the tea-table, this son, then in business in Albany, but living at bis father's house, spoke of "Charley Bridg man." The name arrested his father's attention, and he said : " My son, of whom are you speaking ?" " Of Mr. Bridgman, father," was the reply. " Not of Kev. Dr. Bridgman, surely, William ?" " Why yes, father; why not ? " " Why not ? my son, because such fa miliarity in connection with a prominent preacher is unbecoming. I am quite surprised and shocked at your freedom ; and I hope he has no knowledge of it. " Why yes, he has, father. I have call ed him ' Charley ' to his face ! " ' Charley ' to his face ; and does he call you William ? " " Well, no, father, no; I can't say that he does." " Well, what does he call you then ?" " Generally he calls me ' Bill.' " This was too much for the good Doctor, and with ill-suppressed sympathy with the mirth that rang round the tea-table, he made good his retreat.—[Chicago Standard. ..

Far bounteous feast the board la spread. With costly plate, with fruitage rare ; A hundred lamps their luster shed ^ To gild the odor-laden air. From distant nooks low music steals, Preluding, with faint notes at tirst, Such golden melody as outpeals In one long, sweet, melodious hurst. The haughty master sees with pride How royally his chamber sweeps To where its imaged grandeurs hide In either mirror's crystal deeps, But prouder as the smile he wears To think what nabobs, tine and grim, Shall mount his mansion's marble stairs And gravely sit and sup with him. Now, ere the smile has left his lips. All unannounced, a shape of gloom Fleet through the massive portal slips And stand« within the lordly roo*. Black-vestured, sombre-browed it stands, Marring the fplendor like a blot, With solemn face, with folded hands, A gueat that was expected not. Full well the master knows that guest. And cowers before his calm, grave eyes ; Then pointing, while he Beats his breast, Where bright the untasted banquet lies. He wildly moans, with gasping hreatn, " Oh, spare the doom a single day !" The stranger answers : "I am Death, I summon, and you must obey." Ah, hetter when this guest appears, That he. with unrelenting tread, Should never drag us forth in tears, But find us willing to be led. Yea, better on that fated day.

"Yea, it shall be ai an instant suddenly."— Isaiah xxix 5. "The Lord sent out a great wind into the sea."— •lonah i. 4. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon of Lord's day, March 24, the inhabitants of London were startled by a sudden hurri cane which all at once brought with it darkened clouds of dust, and for a short season raged furiously. Sitting in our study in quiet meditation we were aroused and alarmed by the noise of doors and windows, and the terrible howling of the blast as it swept upon its headlong course. Unhappy were trav elers across heath and moor who were overtaken by such an overwhelming gust, for it gave no warning, and allowed no time to seek shelter. It was soon over, but it was followed by cold and dreary weather, and it would seem to have been a token that winter meant to make another struggle to assume his ancient throne. His Partian arrow was driven forward with intense force and left its mark in ruin and death. Just at this moment when landsmen were terrified by the threatening storm, her majesty's training ship "Eurydice," which had returned from a cruise to the West Indies, was rounding Dunnose headland, off the Isle of Wight, with all plain sails and also her studding sails set. Those on board were all naturally anxious to reach their homes, and having only to round the coast and anchor off Spithead, they were making the best of the wind. The noble frigate was plainly seen from the lovely village of Shanklin ; but one who was watching the fine vessel sud denly missed it and wondered why. She was hastening along with all sails set ex cept her royals, and her ports open, when in a moment the fierce wind pounced up on her. It was in vain that the captain ordered sail to be shortened ; the ship lurched till her keel was visible, and in less time than it takes us to write it the ship capsized, and more than 300 brave seamen perished. Well might her ma jesty's telegram speak of " the terrible calamity of the 'Eurydice.'" What mourning and lamentation had that one cruel blast scattered over the land ! How swift is the swoop of death ! How stealthy its step ! How terrible its leap ! In the midst of life we are on the verge of the sepulchre. This lesson is preached to us by those three hundred men who lie enshrouded in the all-devouring sea, with a gallant ship as their mausoleum. Toll for the brave ! Tae brsve that are no more ! All sunk beneath the wave : Fast by their na tive shore ! Great is the peril of the ocean, but there are also dangers on the land, and at any moment we also may be sum moned to appear before our God. Since this cannot be questioned, let each pru dent man foresee the evil and prepare himself for it. Another lesson which lies upon the surface of this sad event is this—never feel perfectly sale till you are in port. Many awakened souls are almost within the haven of peace and are at this time rounding the headland of thoughtful ness, with the sails of earnest inquiry all displayed to the breeze. Their con dition is very hopeful, but it is not satisfactory to those who are anxious about their eternal welfare, nor should it be satisfactory to themselves. They are steering for the harbor, they enjoy favoring winds, they have all sails set, but still they have not quite believed in Jesus, nor surrendered themselves to His grace. We who watch them can see that their ports are open, and we dread lest they should be overtaken by a sudden temptation and should sud denly be overturned at the very mo ment when our hopes are at their best. Is the reader in such case? T'hen let us beseech him not to be content till he has found Christ and so by faith has anchored in the harbor of " eternal sal vation." Do not be happy, dear friend, till you are moored on the Rock of Ages, under the lee of the everlasting hills of divine mercy, through the atoning blood. It seem« very wonderful that a ship which had been to sea so many times and had juat completed a long winter's cruise in safety should at last go down just off the coast in a place where danger seemed out of the ques tion. It is doubly sad that so many men should be within sight of a shore up^ on which they must never set their foot. To perish in mid ocean seems not so hard a lot as to die with the white cliffs of Albion so near ; to die with the gospel ringing in our ears is still more sad. Never reckon the ship safe till it floats in the haven ; never reckon a soul safe tHl it is actually " in Christ." The "al most persuaded " are often the last to be fully persuaded. Aroused, im pressed, and moved to good résolu - tiens, to tears, and even to prayers, yet meu postpone decision, and by the force of Satan's arts are lost—lost when we all hoped to see them saved. O that seekers were wise enough to be distressed until they are thoroughly re newed. Any position short of regen eration is perilous in the extreme. The man slayer would have been cut down by the avenger had he lingered outside the walls of the refuge-city: it would have been all in vain lor him to have touched its stones or sheltered near its towers; he must be within the gates or die. Seekers after salvation, you are not safe till you actually close in with Jesus, place all your confidence in Him and become forever His. Shall it be so now, or will you abide in death ? Rest not an hour. Trifle not for another mo ment ; for death may seize you, or a spiritual lethargy may come over your soul from which you may never again be aroused. Give no sleep to your eyes nor slumber to your eyelids till your anchor has entered in that within the veil and you are saved in Christ Jesus A further lesson should be gleaned from the scant wreckage which as yet has floated up from the sunken vessel. Let us all take warning, and remember that we cannot tell when fierce tempta tion may assail us. An Accomplished Abroad. American I crossed the British channel with a party of about twenty who had crossed the Atlantic together, being Jrom New York and England. Among them was a New England sgap boiler, an exhibitor at the Paris exposition, I believe, who was much looked up to by his com panions, owing to a singular talent h e posssessed-—that of snoring. lie car ried about with him in his pocket book a clipping from an Iowa newspaper, de scriptive of the exploits of an inveterate snorer in a sleeping car, and this extract he was made to produce and read .in all companies with full sternutatory accom paniment, Mid very amusing it was. He had developed snoring into a fine art, and, indeed, there is no wonder that he had attained considerable per fection, since, as he confided to me, he had been made to go through the per formance at least six times a day on the voyage across. At Dieppe I lost sight of this accomplished artist, but not for long. About thirty minutes to eleven the same evening I had just gone to bed in my hotel. My room, along with about a dozen others, opened upon a covered balcony, I had just dropped ofi to sleep when a stentorian snore awoke the stillness of the night and me with it. Then came a burst of laughter, then another snore and more laughter. I at once recognized the mellifluous notes of my saponaceous friend. Getting out of bed, I slipped out on to the balcony, and, guided by the moring gamut, went along to a lighted window, through which were visible the nasal artist, his admiring and untiring audience, and sundry bottles which contained or had lately contained something stronger than vin ordinal. After listening for a few moments, I returned t ) my room, and as I passed along the gallery I noticed that almost every door was opened to admit of the protrusion of a more or less dis heveled head, from which proceeded tor rents of objurgation, either in the gut tural tones of the Gaul or the softer but not less expressive accents of the Anglo Saxon.—[Paris letter. Little Danny and His Dead Mother. I've just been down in the parlor to see mamma. She's in a long box, with flowers on her. I wish she'd come and bathe my head—it aches so.

That's cause I've got a sick head. Mamma used to take me in her arms and cry. When I asked her what's the matter she would say, "I'm only tired, darling." I guess Aunt Agnes made her tired, for when she came to stay all day mamma would take me up in the evening on her lap and cry awful hard. I aiD 't had any dinner to-day. Mamma always gave me my dinner and a little teenty pudding with "D," for " Danny," on the top. I have little puddings with D's on top. I like to sit in my little chair by the fire and eat 'em. I wish mamma wouldn't stay in the long box. I guess Aunt Agnes put her there, cause she put all the flower trimmings on and shows her to every body. There ain't no fire in the grate, but I guess I'll sit by it and make be lieve there is. I'll get my little dish and spoon and play I've got a pudding with D for Danny on it.
