BEES AND FRUITS. The Facts in the Case. By Prof. A. J. Cook. As conductor of Farmers' Institutes for Southern California, I have a good opportunity to feel of the public pulse regarding bees, and I have been more than gratified at the general right-mindedness of all parties interested. As a region where all kinds and the most luscious fruits are raised, and where extensive fruit drying is carried on, it goes without saying that bees will of necessity be more or less of an annoyance at certain seasons in certain years. When we couple with the above facts that of the general presence of bees, and often in immense numbers, we readily see that the question of bees and fruits becomes one of great importance. The last week in March and the first week in April I held institutes in four regions where fruit growing is the leading industry and where bees are kept in great numbers. These meetings were attended by hardly less than 2000 people in the aggregate. In two of the places—Villa Park and Banning—lawsuits have been recently instituted between orchardists and apiarists. The fact that I was requested to give the true status of the relation of bees to fruit, shows clearly that the people for the most part wish to know the truth. I gave as below the facts as I see them, and was more than pleased to note that few took objection to my position; indeed, only one man called in question my statements, and he did so in private and not in hostile mien. I am sure that Southern California will very soon be in the same attitude as the people of France, Italy and England, and will wish the bees brought to the orchards, and not cry for their removal. Already the orchardists in most localities are converted to the right belief. The following is the position I took in the premises: It is a truth demonstrated beyond question, by Darwin, and by many other scientists, by our Department of Agriculture, and by my own experiments, that many flowers are sterile to their own pollen, or to that of the same variety of fruit. It is also true that pollenation is always necessary to seed production, and usually to the production of the pulp in case of our berries, pomes, drupaceous fruits, etc. There seems as little doubt but that some fruits usually or sometimes fertile to their own pollen, or that of the same variety, are under less favorable circumstances sterile to the same. in the region, and has a first, or at least an equal, right. The removal is for the fruitman, and he should be at the most, if not all, of the expense. But each should know all the facts, that bees are never harmful to flowers, but always necessary to the best success, and that they are only injurious to wounded fruit; that if they are to be temporarily removed it is for the good of the fruitman, and he should bear the expense. The harm is usually not great, and the annoyance usually almost nothing, so that if the beemen and fruitmen donate the one to the other their choicest products, and cultivate good feeling and not emnity, each may be a tremendous blessing to the other, and all the best of neighbors A MIGHTY HARD PROBLEM. The One of Inventing a Bottle That Can't Be Refilled. "I read a little interview not long ago," said a New Orleans grocer, "with a man who purported to give some particulars concerning the much talked of nonrefillable bottle problem. He said, among other things, that there was a standing reward of $10,000 for a practical solution, and I had to smile to note how a fable, once set adrift, is continually vitalized by repetition. I happen to know something about the bottle question, and I can state positively and authoritatively that there has never been a reward of $10,000 or any other amount for such a device. "The impression probably originated with a circular that was prepared years ago by a convention of northern distillers. It was designed for the information of inventors and stated briefly and clearly just what was essential to a practical nonrefillable bottle—what the working part should be made of, what tests it should be able to sustain, what it should cost in quantity, and so on. I doubt whether there is now a copy of that circular in existence, but it unquestionably gave rise to the story that the whisky man of the country were hot after a bottle that couldn't be filled and had offered an enormous reward for the same. "The Lord only knows how many lives have been wrecked by that yarn. Next to perpetual motion it has been the great asylum feeder of the mechanical world. The problem looks easy enough on the surface and upward of 50 patents have been taken out on different devices, but none of them works under all conditions. The favorite scheme is a ball valve which would be closed automatically by pressure from above, but it is readily worked by a wire or an air pump." EXPERIMENT STATIONS Fifty-Four of Them in the United States and Millions of Dollars Expended Annually Upon Them. WASHINGTON, June 24.—A. C. True director of the office of experiment stations, was before the Industrial committee today. He directed his remarks especially to the subject of the technical education for agriculturists, giving much information concerning the experimental stations, the agricultural colleges, the secondary-agricultural schools, farmers' institutes, etc. Referring to the last-named institutions he said there was an increasing demand for experts at these meetings, and he recommended that travelling professors be employed for their benefit. He said that in the United States a large there were forty-six land-grant colleges, with resources amounting to $53,500,000, which afforded an education along agrificultural lines, and which were attended last year by more than 31,000 students, 4000 of whom had taken agricultural courses. In the matter of experiment stations he said that $10,000,000 had been expended upon them in the past ten years but as this amounted to only one dollar to every $3000 of farm products, he did not consider the sum excessive. In this time 500 annual reports and 3000 bullets had been issued by the stations 500,000 being distributed annually. There are fifty-four stations in the United States, and they are engaged in investigating all the subjects pertaining to agriculture, horticulture and stock breeding. At the afternoon session George Holmes was heard. He furnished statistics showing that the average per capita earnings of farm laborers in the United States amount to $225 per annum, without board, compared to $225 paid to persons engaged in domestic service; $420 paid to miners; and $444 paid to those engaged in the mechanical arts. He also submitted figures showing the per capita production of the agriculturists of the United States. From his figures he deduced the conclusion that the condition of the farm laborer was wretchedly poor, while that of the farm owner was little better. He estimated that after all expenses were paid the farmer received only $2261 per month, counting nothing for interest. For the past five years there has been a constant decline in the price of farm products except meat, dairy and poultry products. Referring to the probability of recommendations by the commission bearing upon the subject of trusts, he asks that the agricultural trusts be remembered. Among the farmers' organizations there were trusts of fruits an The following is the position I took in the premises: It is a truth demonstrated beyond question, by Darwin, and by many other scientists, by our Department of Agriculture, and by my own experiments, that many flowers are sterile to their own pollen, or to that of the same variety of fruit. It is also true that pollination is always necessary to seed production, and usually to the production of the pulp in case of our berries, pomes, drupaceous fruits, etc. There seems as little doubt but that some fruits usually or sometimes fertile to their own pollen, or that of the same variety, are under less favorable circumstances sterile to the same. Thus, the Bartlett pear is generally sterile to Bartlett pollen, though occasionally under favorable circumstances it fruits well through no other pears are in the vicinity. Yet in these exceptional cases no one knows when the tide will turn, and the Bartlett fail to produce unless other pears are hardy to insure cross-pollination. We are sure, then, that mixing of fruits so as to secure cross-pollination is absolutely essential in almost all cases, to the best success, and in a large proportion of cases to any success at all. Again, the cross-pollinating requires insects to carry the pollen grains from the anther of one bloom to the stigma of another. Before the orchards were planted the fruits were less numerous, and the solitary scant insects were sufficient to do the work, but as we massed the fruits in great orchards, the native solitary insects were all too few, and fortunately the social bees were brought along with the fruits. Even the social native insects, like social wasps and bumblebees, are very few in spring when the fruits bloom, and so are absolutely inadequate to pollenate our orchard trees. The non-seeding of red clover for the early first crop is because the bumblebees are too few to cross-pollenate the bloom. It is possible that in this case the flowers are fertile to the pollen of other red clover blossoms but not to their own. To drive them away would be to kill the goose that lays the golden egg. Again, bees never attack sound fruit. They only come when bird, wasp, or sultry weather combined with overripeness break the rind and cause the juice to exude. Possibly bees could bite open the skin of the fruit, but positively they never do. Yet let the juice once ooze, and then the bees quickly hit to the tree or drying tray and leave little behind to show once what was there. When we remember that nearly 90 per cent of the ripe fruit is juice, and that the bees take this, we see that little would be left. The juice often oozes from very ripe fruit, and so bees are often in the vineyard, to the great annoyance of those who would gather in the vintage. Fruit on the trays in the drying yard has the skin removed, or is cutopen, and so the bees may take the most of it unless repelled by sulphururing, which is now generally done. We see, then, that bees are a disturbance at times, and annoy the ords greatly. Then must the apiarist be driven off? Not so, say the European pomologists. They want bees, and there is no quarrel between the two industries. Not so, say the most intelligent fruitmen of our State and country, for we must have the bees to aid us in time of bloom. It may be wise to move the bees temporarily on rare occasions when the annoyance is most severe. If so, who should pay the expense? Surely, not the bee keeper, for he was the pioneer **Air Castles.** Living in the future is living in an air castle.

"At first the liquor men and makers of proprietary remedies that were largely counterfeited encouraged investors in the line, but after repeated failures they finally came to the conclusion that the thing couldn't be done and have given it up altogether. Nevertheless the cranks still persevere, and every now and then one reads of a new bottle that works like a charm.

I awoke last night with severe pains in my stomach. I never felt so badly in all my life. When I came down to work this morning I felt so weak I could hardly work. I went to Miller & McCurdy's drug store and they recommended Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It worked like magic and one dose fixed me all right. It certainly is the finest thing I ever used for stomach trouble. I shall not be without it in my home hereafter, for I should not care to endure the sufferings of last night again for fifty times its price.—G.H., WILSON, liveryman, Burgettstown, Washington Co., Pa. This Remedy is for sale by P.A. Derge. Too Well Imitated. It is no easy matter for a violin maker to rival the famous Stradivarius instruments, but this an American maker did and did so effectually that experts pronounced his violin a gennine Stradivarius. The successful man was the late George Gemunder, a famous violin maker of New York. His remarkable ability as a preparer of violins was known to many a distinguished player, such as Ole Bull, Remenyi and Wilhelmj. But he made so runs the story, his greatest success at the Paris exposition of Eiffel tower fame. To that exhibition he sent an imitation Stradivarius, and to test its merits had it placed on exhibition as the genuine article. A committee of experts carefully examined the instrument and pronounced it a Stradivarius. So far Mr.Gemunder's triumph was complete. But now came a difficulty. When he claimed that it was not an old violin, but a new one made by himself, the committee would not believe him. They declared he never made the instrument and pronounced him an imposter. He had done his work too well.—Youth's Companion. **How They Made Mummies.** A body might be mummified in three different ways, and the price varied accordingly. In the first and most expensive method the brain was extracted through the nose by means of an iron probe, and the intestines were removed entirely from the body through an Ethiopian stone. The intestines were cleansed and washed in palm wine, and after being covered with powdered amatic guns, were placed in Canopy jars. The body was then filled up with myrrh and cassia and other fragrances and astringent substances and was launched in natron for 70 days. It was then carefully washed and wrapped up in strips of fine linen smeared with gum. Cost of mummifying a body in this fashion was a talent of silver, or about £24. In the second method the brain was not removed at all, and the intestines were simply dissolved and removed in fluid state. The body was also laid salt or natron, which it is said, did solve everything except the skin a bones. The cost of mummifying in this manner was 32 mines, or nearly $90. The third method was employed in the poor only. It consisted simply of cleansing the body by injecting strong astringent and then salting it 70 days. The cost was very small.

Living in the future is living in an air castle. The man who says he will lead a newer and a better life tomorrow, who promises great things for the future and does nothing in the present to make that future possible, is living in an air castle. In his arrogance he is attempting to turn water into wine, to have harvest without seedtime, to have an end without a beginning. If we would make our lives grand and noble, solid and impregnable, we must forsake air castles of dreaming for strongholds of doing. Let us think little of the future except to determine our course and to prepare for that future by making each separate day the best and truest that we can. Let us live up to the fullness of our possibility each day. Man has only one day of life — today. He did live yesterday, he may live tomorrow, but he has —only today. Saturday Evening Post. He Supports the Proposition. Mrs. Blickens—the president of our club is going to lecture next Tuesday evening on "Conversation as a Lost Art." Mr. Blickens (yawning)—That so? Mrs. Blickens—Well, why don't you go on and make some sarcastic comment about the impossibility of conversation being a lost art while women remain on earth? Of course that is what you think. Mr. Blickens—No; I agree with your president. Conversation is a lost art. When only one side can be heard, it is merely talk. —Chicago News. Last fall I sprained my left hip while handling some heavy boxes. The doctor I called on first said it was a slight strain and would soon be well, but it grew worse and the doctor then said I had rheumatism. It continued to grow worse and I could hardly get around to work. I went to a drug store and the druggist recommended me to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I tried it and one-half of a 50-cent bottle cured me entirely. I now recommend it to all my friends. —F. A. Babcock, Erie, Pa. It is for sale by P. A.Derge. What a difference in the suffering at time of childbirth when Dr. R. V. Pierce's medicines used," writes Mrs. Edmon Jacobs, Bargersville, Johnson County, Ind. "I do not hear of Dr. Pierce's medicines this years ago when I was confined, so had to suction almost death. Before baby was born I could be on my feet without two persons holding me. The baby was boy weighing nine pounds and three quarter pounds and for six weeks after birth I suffer severe pain. Fall following advice of a neighbor, my husband bought me Doctor Pierce's Prescription which I took during the winter and in March 1908, I gave birth to a baby weighing ten three-quarter pounds. I only in labor two hours and five minutes before my baby was born. He is no three months old and weighs nineteen pounds. I know it was Dr. Pierce's medicine that saved me from suffering. I advise all women to take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, also "Pleasant Pellets" if necessary." Following the advice of a neighbor, what a weight of confirmatory evidence there is in those six words. The neighbor had tried the "Favorite Prescription" and recommended it. Mrs. Jacobs has also tried it and proved its wonderful property and now she recommends it. Beside testimony as this its maker's words are important. Mrs. Jacobs' experience is fact. Her neighbor's experience is a fact. The written experiences of 250,000 other women are facts. There is no theory about it. There can be no question about it: every neighborhood in this broad laurel there are women who have been cured the "Favorite Prescription." It has curved more cases of female complaint than other medicines for women combined.

It is true that many women are compelled to look forward to times when they are unable to attend to social or business duties. Their appearance plainly indicates their condition and they are reluctant to be seen, even by their friends. Read what a business woman says to such sufferers: Mrs. C. W. Mansfield, 58 Farrar Street, Detroit, Mich., says: "A complication of female alliances kept me awake nights and wore me out. I could get no relief from medicine and hope was slipping away from me. A young lady in my employ gave me a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I took them and was able to rest at night for the first time in months. I bought more and they cured me as they also cured several other people to my knowledge. I think that if you should ask any of the druggists of Detroit, who are the best buyers of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills they would say the young women. These pills certainly build up the nervous system and many a young woman owes her life to them. "As a business woman I am pleased to recommend them as they did more for me than any physician and I can give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People credit for my general good health today."

It may also be a good idea to buy up stock from the small producers and get stocks in the hands of those who afford to hold the fruit. It is also necessary to establish brands which the trade may depend on and then see that buyers can always supplied with stocks under such brand. When these brands are established stick to them and advertise them same as other business enterprises. Another most important factor in the matter of increasing our trade products, is to teach the multitude to use them. Not one family in twenty know how to eat our fruits, much how to cook them. Let the fruit growers of California combine and establish free cooking exhibitions in all the principal cities in the East and in Europe for the education of the people, and home formulate rules and regulations for growing fruit; place an insurer or in every fruit growing district in State to see that these rules are carried out; pack and brand as suggested; range for the proper disposal of same, and California will have no faulty in disposing of her produce prepared fruits. To illustrate how expense of such a feature can be rieled out and not be made a burden, the prune industry of this State mill a pound; a fund of $150,000 can created. The same amount could raised on the peach and apricot owe This fund will more than cover ee feature that I mention, and the advice in price, as a result of this, will do pay the tax. As a result of California's exhibit work, I think we can safely say that per cent of the increase in the tracer products can be attributed to attractive displays she has made at various expositions in the last 15 yr.

The famous monasteries of Meteora crown the summits of vast rock pinnacles rising from the plain of Thessaly. By what strange means the first cunning architects of these airy perches succeeded in reaching the scene of their labors is a matter wreathed in mystery. The cliffs are far too smooth and perpendicular for any man to climb by hand and foot, and history guards jealously the secret of the monasteries. All that is known about them is that the monks and wandering friars of the middle ages found sanctuary when first the crescent and scimitar ran red with Christian blood. Visitors to the monks' abode announce their presence by shouting until some one far above looks out and lets the net, which is worked by a windlass, come down. The sensation of the ascent is distinctly novel. Seated on the ground in the center of the net, the meshes are one by one looped on to a large iron hood. As the rope becomes taut the cords press uncomfortably hard upon various points of one's body, and with a strong wind blowing it swings to and fro and bumps its human load against the cliff. The rope, as it slowly winds on the drum up in the monastery, kinks occasionally, and the jerk gives one the impression that the rickety concern is giving way. The journey, however, ends safely 170 feet above the ground, where the monks promptly extricate the visitor and give him a pleasant welcome. The Caroline Islanders. As a rule the Caroline islander is fairly honest. Once lay his suspicions to rest and win his confidence, and he will prove himself a faithful friend and an excellent host, courteous and just in all his dealings, as I have very good cause to know. On the other hand, when dealing with his enemies, he calls into play a talent for intrigue, lying and chicanery that would delight a Machiavellii. In his private life he is unselfish, frugal and economical, a man of careful, small habits. Like all folk of Melanesian admixture, he is liable to fit of dangerous sullenness when he considers himself slighted in any way. He is inclined to be revengeful and will bide his time patiently until his opportunity comes. Yet he is not implacable and counts reconciliation a noble and princely thing. There is a form of etiquette to be observed on these occasions—a present (katom) is made, an apology offered, a piece of sugar cane accepted by the aggrieved party, honor is satisfied, and the matter ends.

The Michigan Tradesman suggests, in the course of an anecdote, the reason why a certain old fashioned tradesman came to fail. When one of his creditors reached the place, after this catastrophe, he found the merchant working hard to figure it all out. "Land, but I don't see why I should fail!" he kept on saying. "Mebbe though, I didn't collect sharp enough." "You have a heap of goods round here," said the other, looking about him. "Yes, more or less." "When did you take the last inventory?" "Inventory? Take everything down?" "Yea." "And make out a list?" "Yea." "And dust off the shelves and mop the floor?" "That's it." "And clean the windows and paint the front of the store?" "Yea." "I never went into that. I was going to one day about 15 years ago, but they had a wrestling match in town, and I forgot the inventory. Meroy on me, but I can't understand why I should fail!"
