objects to the charge of $30 for em-

undertaker is unwilling to cut it at all.

In New Hampshire farmers
wives turn many aa honest dollar
by taking boarders from the city.
This is done alsoin New York,
Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wis-
consin. Up therethey run their
farms by strict system; and it is
quite a luxury to the city families
to get a change in the open couh-
try air. Tho mik and butter and
other products from ~he farms
come easy to the housewife, and
the pay for board being pretty
good, the good country dames
who engage ia it find at the end

SWARMING THE BEES.
How Brass and Cymbal Are Used to Arrest
Their Eager Flight.
When I was a child living ona
southern plantation long before the
war, there was among the negroes
a little, old African named Mingo.
Among other duties he took care of
the bees. Just under a long trellis:
of honeysuckle and multiflora roses
stood a leng bench, and upon this
were the hives. Trellis, bench and
hives were all MingoTs handiwork.
Occasionally he would bring from
the swamp a section of a hollow
gum log and make of ita hive. Hs
called all of his hives ~~beegums.�T
In the early spring, before the
time for swarming, Mingo, always
provided several new hives for prob-
able swarms. Then came the time
for pleasurable waiting for him and
the children, white and black, with
all of whom he was in firm friend-
ship. e
Some bright day there would come
from the yard a quick and loud tat-
too, Mingo beating an old brass ket-
tle that he kept for the purpose. It
was a signal to the children that the
bees were swarming. EBooks were
dashed aside, and there was a wild
scram bie for tin pans, shovels, wait-
ers, pokers, tongs, anything in the
world that would make a noise.
The brown cloud of bees hovered
overhead, Mingo kept close watch,
and at each detour it made toward
the wood he called to his willing co-
horts: ~~Louder! DeyTs makin for
de woods.�
Close at his heels we followed,
beating with all our might. At last
the cloud grew Genser and smaller
about the limb of a sweet locust
tree, with which the yard was thick.
The queen had settled, and soon a
thick brown mass of quivering bees
|hung in a long pendant from the
limb.
Ata wave of MingoTs hand the
noise ceased, and we all stood breath-
less, watching till the last bee had
settled into place. How weT pitied
the inside bees and wondered how
they breathed.
Then came the supreme moment ;
with Mingo. Having captured the
bees, he had to imprison them. He
worked like a magician at his incan.
tations. Telling us to be silent and
watch the bees, for sometimes they
swarmed ugain after settling, he
went to the little spring branch out-
CW heures! aedT gvedsni Nom
brought back handfuls of mint.
Selecting a new hive, he rubbed it
thoroughly inside with the mint.
Then, with the top removed, he
placed it on a table imimediately be-
low the clustered bees. Taking in
hand a small soft brush, he climbed
the tree, while hig assistants pru-
dently withdrew to a safe distance.
lf the limb were small and low,
he cut it off, and bending over,
shook the bees from it into the open
hive. If it were large, he shook it
till the bees were dislodged, brush-
ing off with his broom any that con-
tinued to cling. The bees never
stung him, to our unbounded amaze-
ment and admiration.
Having twined the willow twigs
about the hive to keep away the
bugs, worms and other foragers, he
left :it standing upon the table until
the little colony was wellestablished
in jts new home. Then he removed
it to a place beside the old hives on
the bench under the honeysuckles
and the multiflora roses,"Philadel-
