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 Mingo’s 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.”’ 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! Dey’s 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 Mingo’s hand the noise ceased, and we all stood breath- less, watching till the last bee had settled into place. How we’ 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! aed’ 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- phia Times. {ts Reputation Redeemed. Apples are called brain food.
