HAD A cyclone swept ever ihe great
"American bottom" of Illinois, or had
a wave of tljme swept over it, greater
devastation could hardly have been the
result than that caused by the destruc

million* of dollars, and many people
have been utterly imiwivc-i-hed.
EGYPT, SO receutly aiH.ctc with war,
is now the victim of cholera in its most
virulent form, and it is spreading rap
idly. There ie danger that the fleeing
refugee" who crowd all the outgoing
steamers will carry the pestilence into
Asia and Europe, and that to all the
other calamities of this disastrous year
will be added a world-wide prevalence
of the cholera.
IF the merchants of St.
Louis intend
to secure the Mexican trade, they had
better keep their eyes open and act
aaickly. The Mexican government
seems to be trying to establish direct
relations between Philadelpnia and
Vera Cruz, and in order to further the
project, by more efficient direction, the
Mexican consul at Pniladelphia is made
the equal of the consul general in New
York. If the Mexican trade does slip
away out of the hands of St. Louis men
they will have only themselves to blame
for it. The early bird proverb applies
iu trade as well a* in natural history.

After the Harvard College Trustee*
had agreed not to confer the degree of
LL. D. upon the General, a compli
ment that it has usually bestowed upon
the Governors of Massachusetts, he felt
more anxious than ever to attend its
Commencement exercise
1
Wednesday,
and was present in all his glory. The
report is that Senator Hoar refused to
sit at the dinner-table with Butler,
which, if true, would make the valiant
Governor enjoy the meal all the more.
In that case the Governor showed more

Heiyr^f Elmore, Peruvian minister at
W^Liiington, says thai late advices con
firm «he report that no treaty hae ye»
Ceen signed. Chili, he says, doea no1
want peace, but on the contrary is glad
of any pretext to continue tne occupa
tion of Peru. To this end she is tryiti,?
to set up Iglesias, in the hope of setting
the Peruvians at loggerheads amonjt
themselves. Animated by the sam
desire, bhe is seeking to make an ar
rangement with Brazil and the Argen
tine Republic, which will prevent these
two governments from interfering with
her pl&nB. The Peruvians are still firm
in their recognition of the C-jlderon and
Mentero government—Frelinghuysen's
proposition, E more thinks, would have
been acceptable to Peru, but Chili
would none of it. He has faith, how.
ever, that the good offices of the United
States, combined with the force of pub
lic opinion, will finally be bticcessful.
RKPOKIH of fresh disasters keep
coming from the regions of the Missis
sippi deluge. Oa Sunday night the St.
Mary's levee broke, and 20,000 acres of
wheat in this bottom alone are said to
be under water. Other levees axe
breaking in various places. Thousands
of acres are covered to depth of
from ten to twenty feet, and thousands
of families have been rendered desti
tute and forced to flee for their lives.
Hopes are entertained that the Hoods
will aiion bejjin to subsido, but as yet
there seem to be few indications of it
—indeed, in many places, the water is
still rising. Already there is great suf
fering among the poorer classes, and
appeals for aid are being sent out. Ihe
resultant poverty and destitution that
will be left as th* legacy of the deluge
is sad to contemplate and charitable
':itizeas, who responded so generously
to the appeals for the aid of the Rhine
suuerers last winter, will now have a
nearer and more uifcent duty to per
form. The losses range from a hun
dred to thousands of dollars and un
fortunately, it i3 those whose losses are
only hundreds who, ill Ihe majority of
cases, lose the most.

Ttiat while we extend our f-arnest
sympathy to the people of all countries

opposition to oppressive law* and sys

side of the homes of our own people

people at a special, non-partiyan election
an opportunity to vote on a proposition

the administration of the laws we favor
such amendments to the criminal code

crime and at the same time lessen the
burdens imposed upon the tax-payers
b\ the numerous and vexatious deUya
now too often attendant upon the ad

THE MIMES.
11. That in view of the rapid develop
ment of the mining industry of Iowa,
the large numbers of workingmen em

Mr. Cooper wx$ always a careful aud
prudent business man. He was always
opposed to the methods of many mer
chants who launched out in xtrava
gaut enterprises on borrowed money,
lor which they paid exorbitant rates of
interest. Once, while talking about
pn ject with an acquaintance, the lat
ter said he would Have to borrow the
money for six months, paying interest
at three per cent per month. Why
do you borrow for so short u lime?"
Mr. Cooper asked. Because the bro
kers will not negotiate bills for longer."
Well, il you wish," said Mr. Cooler,
"I will discount your note at that rate
for three years." "Are you in earnest?"
a*kcd the would-be borrower. Cer
tainly I am. I will discount your note
for $10 000 for three years at that
»ate." "Will you do it?" "Of course
I will," said the merchant. Very
well," said Mr. Cooper "just sign this
note for tKMHX), payable in three yeara
and give me your check for $SU0, and
the transaction is complete." "But
where is the money for me'! asked
the astonished merchant. "You don't
get any money," was the reply. Your
interest for thirty-six months, at three
per centum per month, amounts to 108
per centum, or $10,800 therefore your
check for $800 makes us even." ^The
force of this practical illustration of the
folly of paying Much an exorbitant price
for the use of money waastich that the
merchant determined never to borrow
at such ruinous rates, and he frequent
ly used to say that nothing could have
su fully convinced him as this rather

At What Aftcdo flees Gather Honey.

read of them, and strive to odv..uce ill*
science of bec-culture. A very acute
and painstaking apiarist, Mr. G. Bf.
Doolittle, of N. Y., givn ussomevejy
interesting ov«ervations in an article
below, which we ake from the Ameri
can Bee Journal and which wiii be ot
great importance to all beekeepers:
The above heading may bi thought
by some to be of little interest, but aa
it han much to do with the surplua
honey we get, I thought a few words
on the subject would r.ot be amiss.
Many seem to suppose that the flee ia
capable oi going to the liel 1 to gather
honey as soon as hatched, or in three
or four days at least, but some fac!w
proves that they do not do so. Bees
may be forced to go to the fields for
pollen anil honey at the age of o or
days old, but when the colony is in a
normal condition, as it always should
be to store hone to the best a-van
tage, tbe bee i« 10 days old before il
gathers honey. If we take comlw
of
bees just hatching, and place them inft
hive witheut any i»ees, as is frequently
dotie to introduce a valuablequ-en, we
will see young bees not over or odaya
|ild go to the lields, being compelled to
do so for water, pollen, etc., because
there is none of older age to go but
tins does not prove the bees of that age
usually do so any more than the experi
ment of feeding 2.) pounds of honey to
bee* confined to the hive before one
pound of wax was produced, proves
that it always takes -0 pounds of honey
to produce one pound of comb. 1 have
conducted two experiment since I kept
been, to ascertain the age at which beea
gather the first honey, and as each
proved the same, I believe 16 days to
be t'-.-.e time when the bees brines her
first load of honey, when «he colony is
in a uor^»«l condition.,
The experiment which I tried was
this: A black queen was removed
from a colony, and an Italian queen
introduced in her place about the mid
dle of June. The date was marked on
the hive, and as the 'J 1st day there
after arrived, a careful watch was kept
to nee when tne lir*t Italian bee
hatched. When the first Italian had
emerged from the cell, a careful watch
was again kept of the hive to see when
the first Italian took its (light. Tnis
happened about 2 p. m., on the eighth
day after the first Italian was found
hatched, when a few came out for a
play spell, but in an hour all had re
turned, and none but black bees were
seen going to and from the hive. As
the days passed on th- numbers in
creased at each play spell (*imut
o'clock), but none having the Italian
markings were seen, except at these
play spells, till the 10:h day after the
first Italian hatched. At ttiid time a
few came in with pollen and honey,
commencing to work at about 10 a. m.
After this, the number of Italian
honey gatherers increased while the
number of blacks decreased, unul on
ihe 45th day after the last black bee
liaicbtil, wiieu nut a black bee wim
to be found in or about the hive. If
the above is correct, and I believe it is,
it will be seen that the eggs, for our
honey gatherers, must* be iaid by the
queen '67 days before our main honey
narvest, if we would get the beat re
sults from our bees AS it tak'.s l!l days
from tne time the eggs is laid to the
time the bee emerges from the cell,
and this i*i.ded ,ta the b: 0
37 days. The aboYe &
any portion of the country, a
certain il ra produces the larger por
tion of the honey crop. To be sur^
the beea from the time they are three
days old, help to perform tbe labors in
tbe hive, such aa budding comb, feed
ing the larvte, evaporating nectar, etc.,
hence are of much value toward secur
ing the crop of honey, if we have
plenty of bees besides, over 1 daya
old, but otherwise all hatching aftor
the middle of the honey harvest are Of
little use.
Another thing I ascertained by these
experiments, which was that the beea
which gather the honey are not the
.mes which deposit it in the cells. I
was reading in a bee paper, not loug
ago, hosv the loaded bees from the
fields carried their honey easily to tQe
top of a four-itory hive. This waa
used as au argument iu favor of plao
ing the empty jmbs on top of the
lull ones, instead of raising un thei-eo»
ond or third story and placing them
between full combs, on the tiering-up
plan. As far as the loaded bees are
concerned, it makes no difference, aa
will be seen when I at&te that on th«
fifteenth day after the first Italian
hatched, when nono but black
beta
wrr. going iu and out at the entrance,
I found by taking otl the cover aiie
examining 'he n^t'ona that scarce a
black bee wa* in them, rnt all wece
Italians', which were at work there,
building comb and depositing honey.
After this 1 used an obstrvatory hive
containing but one comb. In this
a
I
also hail black bees aa field bees, and
young Italians for the inaide work.
By
watching the entrance through the
glass, I could see the loaded bees come
in, and when one came on the ncxl
side to me I could eauily nee what it did
with the load of honey. The bet would
pass along on the comb till it came to
a yt-uug bee, when it would put out
tongu-j toward the young bee.
bee had no load it would tj
honey, but if it had our field b€
try again till one was found that could
take the load, when it was given up to
it. The field bee then rested a liul^
while, when it would go for another
load. Thus it will be »'ee« that any en
trance leading cUp?cri6 the surplus ar
rangement, as 'was formerly made in
the Langstroth ktve, is of no use, unl,
on the contrary,
