the following lines:
"Recollect ions come to nie of when
I was a child. I could almost hear
;my mother's voice singing: ;
Hush, my child, Ho still and slumber,
Holy angels guard they bed,
Heavenly blessings without number,
Gently falling on thy head,
What tended memories reach far
tack through tho yeurs and cluster
about tho songs and words of our In-
I fancy. If there Is one thing In all
this world It is tho soothing songs
and words of our dear mother that
help us over the rough places In our
lives and brings to us tho fairy land of
an unforgotten home. Perhaps we
can not vromcinler all the words of
the simple hymn that our mother
sang to us when a child, but tho gentle
tune Is In our heart Indelible and all
enduring. Our mother's song was
low and sweet, and well remembered.
I suppose I have heard more cultivat
ed voices, but t!' sound Is not so
soothing and sweet.

the owner of a desirable farm In thn
Springwater district, close up to the
mountain, ami has earned tho till"?
of tho honey bee king of that sec
tion, lie has the business reduced to
a practical science, and what tin don't
know about bees wouldn't make ft

His output of honey will overage
three ton or more annually, and ti

bond of $:i.75 per case 21 onopound
boxes. He usually keeps from 100 to
125 stands of bees each year, the num
