3Iurl'cliii: Honey.
One might infer by the haste with
which some of our friends rush into the
market with their hone' that it was a
perishable article, or that it was a mat
ter of life or death that their honey be
disposed of at once. Many, arain, have
an idea that b getting in a little ahad
of their neighbor they will secure bet
ter prccs and quicker sales. The
facts in the case are directly the reverse,
lint very little honey is consumed until
the cool weather comes. Customers
will buy a taste of new honey and there
they stop, and arc satistied, until tho
berry, fruit and vegetable crops are out
-of they way- Then we may expect a
good sale for our honey.
For the most satisfactory results in
disposing -of -our honey crop, the home
market should lirst be taken into con
sideration, especially where the crop to
lie disponed of is not very large.
Honey, like all other commodities,
loses in price to the producer the farther
from home it goes to lind a consumer.
.Large crops, -of course, must seek large
markets. At the present we are con
sidering only those who have n few
hundred pounds to dispose of. Th -re
is scarcely a family in the land but can
be induced to purchase a few pounds of
honey, if oilbrcd to them in the right
manner.
Our people .are large consumers o
sweets The adulteration of sirup has
been carried to such an extent they have
become disgusted, nauseated with them,
-and are in .search of something to Hllthc
-want, and now is the time for bee
keepers to -lake action and eiler to the
people the products of our apiaries.

but all being soreue, he continued.
"One evenin's jest afore dark, mv
wife looked outen the window an'
said: 'John. I believe that calf.-i stiuk

told her I guess not, an' we didn't give

that calf into a steer in
a single night.
It beats the hull world!"
He munched at his quid of tobacco a
few moments and went on:
"We never think o' settin' hens on eggs

mine, is makin' oceans o1 money rais

wooden tooth-picks in the ground and
gives the soil a lick at 'em, an' when
they're big enough for poles he pull
'em up. He shipped a car-load to lar

was discovered by accident from the
incorrect poin'ing or variation of the
needle, first noticed by Robert Norman
in loSO, who found the variation to be

In 1657 there was no variation there.

Aihice to Old Men.
Don't presume on your age.
Don't be vain of your handsome gray
hair and whi-kers.
Don't set your.-elf up as models of
propriety in public and get full of boo.e
in private.
Don't think because voung men are
young they are fools. They probablv
are. but you were young once vourself.
Don't say vulgar things before ladies,
and excuse yourself on the ground that
you are old enough to be their fathers.
Don't forget that age must re.-pect
itself before it can command it from
others.
Don't sour the world on von by sour
ing v ourselves on the world".
Don't fool with temptation.
Don't be too wise.
Don't try to make love. The old
fools are the bigge-st fool.-.
Dont let your love of the world make
you forget that a man never gets too old
to die.
Don't try to be a boy. Your grand
sons will attend to that part of the busi

A singular fatality was the death of
Louis Mevers, a Long Island butcher,
who was found a few days since locked
up in his ice-box and literallv frozen to
death. It i.s suppo-ed that he entered
the ice-box for the purpose of cooling
off, and the door closing upon him with
1 a spring lock, his cries for assistance
werj unheard, lius is certainly an
anomalous kind of death to occur in this
climato and in the torrid weather we
have been enduring; but it is not with
out precedent. A few years since a
Third avenue lager beer seller came to
