KEEP A FEW BEES. Why a Umltrd Dmlr of Swarm Should 11 Kept on Kvery I mrtu. There are, it is computed, over 400.- 000 persons in the United States who kcepibees. It seems but a small num ber out of a population of 60, COO, 000 people, abont one-half of whom are living on farms, large and small. There is bnt little care necessary in the management of two or three hives of bees but what may be attended to by the feminine portion of the family in the absence of the men folks. Many persons are deterred from keeping bees from the fear of being ctlm rr I it n ia ra.ur littln - - t-, rrnr- i-. f this, unless bees are roughly handled. A bee never stings if it can be avoided. If pinched, or if in handling they are canght between the skin and "clothes and frightened, they will sting. There is, however, no necessity for this. neither is it necessary that boys be allowed to rile up the bees. The same discipline that restrains in other mis chief should hold here. Bees are more often made uglv bv the mischief of boys than by any other cause. There ' Is no reason why every farmer should not care for a few swarms of bees. The failures come from attempting too much at once. Begin with a single swarm, learn the habits and manage ment of bees, go slowly, stop if you choose at five or six swarms as the ulti mate number.

One can plel np aliuo-tt auy book of travel and llnd In it a description of an avalanche in Switzerland, but I've, never seen any satisfactory attempt to picture the terrible grandeur of a Colo-( rado snow-slide. The two are th same thing, but the snow-slide is more awful and destructive thin th ava lanche. It has a better citation to show what it ran d by reason of tho num ber of mines which are worked in the pathway of the slidi-s. and ths care lessness of tho miners in exposing themselves to danger and disregarding the warning signs thi s'.ty and the snow always give before the slides begin. Tho most fearful slides occur during the winter, aftfr a succession of (night, warm days. Tho mountains are heavily loaded with snow, which has fallen in layers, and frozen until it lies solidly in a mass from five to twenty feet deep all over the range, and in can yons and gulches fifty teet sometimes. The sun melts these layers, they lose their hold on those below, and start down the mountain, often with 14.00J feet to travel before they reach the bottom. . As they go down other layers of snow boooma detached. and the slide increases in weight and velocity as it falls. A slide aeon from a distance is only a whttj cloud, but it is a cloud weighing hundreds of tons. Trees are bent aid snapped in pieces. huge rocks are uprooted and carried ong, and a bonne in the way of the slide is burled and carried away like a leaf. Nothing but a mountain will stop a slide before it hurls itself against the level ground and losses its momentum. Last winter the death list in oonseqnenee of snow-slides was light in Colorado. I believe the miners are learning to bo cautious. The most destructive slide I remember was one that came down upon the Sheridan and Mendota mines near the top of the range that rises almve Ouray. It car ried away the kitchen and bunk-hotift of the men, and covered fifteen miners, Some who escaped came down to Ouray on snow-shoes ever a perilous frail, running nearly all the way along precipices, aim overhung with cliffs. bearing trembling masses ol snow threatening other slides. They begged us for help to dig out their imprisoned comrades. We sent a party up on snow-shoes immediately, eisrht of the nerviest men in the camp. They got up to the mines safly and duir out the bodies and two live men. Then they put seven of tho dead men into sleds. and with the rescued men started back to Ouray, a " party of fifteen. They were half wav down when another slide came down n the trail and sw-pt away sleds, corpses and rescuers. There was a space fifty feet wide from the trail to the brink of canyon, over eighty feet de -iv Some of the men were released by thp snow before they were carried to ihe edge of the gulf, hot most of them, with all the sled-lx-.-in-rs, went ovw and down upon the oeep snow at the bottom. ot one of that party was killed, alrhoughthey were somewhat bruised, and thev nil sinrly or in small parties, made their their way "back to Ouray within the next three days.

FARM CONVENIENCES. Their Cost SstihI In Short Time 1T m It' tlnction of I-Jilir. Too many farmers fail to appreciate the worth of having things as con venient as they might, with a trilling expense. Iasiead of ready latches on their dixrs and gates, they are too ofi en tied with a rope. The harness is often fastened on the horse in the same bungling way. Instead of a pump at the wt 11. a p ill and rope of tho most primitive order are used to draw up the water. The extra time consumed in the work when such is the rule on the farm, is by far more in the course ol the year than would be required, in value, to remedy all, such deficiences. If a gate or door is held in place by a pin, this very important little articl should bo fastened wi:h a strong cord. so that it will always b;? at hand." If better fastening can In secured, it is. of course, desirable. We wish to urge, however, that conveniences on a farm are not, 'as a rule, in themselves any more expensive than their undesirabl substitutes. Tho fanner who will set his mind on improvements in this line will be sur prised at the results he may accom p'l.sh. On this account alone some farmers need to go awav from home and pay a visit to some of the neat am' tidy farms, and ftbscrve carefully thei conveniences for every thing. Go tho and make vours likewise. Xatioua Live Slock Journa7.. SLAVES IN MEXICO. Bonrtase in Which the rutin Are Held ty Cruel Takmutrn. A good deal lias been told and written of the cruelties in subterranean Siberia, but I very much doubt if the situation of any convict chained in an under ground gallery is nearly as appalling as that of hundreds and hundreds of the Mexican peon slaves toiling within day's journey of the land of the free. do not say that this is true of all mines at many of them, and particularly thos owned bv American or English com panies, the management is humane and admirable in every particular, but it i true of sorre. In these it is no unusual thing for a peon to h? murdered by some cruel taskmaster, in plain sight of hi wife, who works by his side, hears hi dying shriek and is powerless to raise her band to save. I his is no fancy picture, but a dreadful and repeated reality. It is surprising how little of this is known, but it is surprising how little is known in general of interior Mexico. There are thousands of square miles where peonage is a sacred institution and a "white man is as great a curi osity as a hippografF or a unicorn would be. There whole families arc wearily grinding away at debts they had no more to do with than witn the deluge Some ancestor thev never saw or heard tell of, drank too much mescal one day or lost a lew tionars at monte, or was empted to buy a gilded sombrero on credit, and the .mischief was done. That they live in the darkest sort of ignorance and misery goes without saying, else some fine morning they would simply quit being peons and all the powers that be, at least in Mexico, could not re-establish the old regime.

The applicant' for a patent is require first to tile in the Patent Ollice a pcti lion on oath or atlirmation that the in ventor believes himslf to be the first to frame the invention, and does not believe that it has been known or used before, and this must be accompanied by a full description tif the invention, wiih drawings and a model where it is possible. It is not at all necessary that llie invented article shall be sent to the Patent Olliee, but if a model in min iature can be made of it that is essen tial. The application must be in writ ing, addressed to the Commissioner of Patents, and if the inventor is living his signature must accompany it, no matter who makes the applica tion. The description of the inven tion must specify the manner of con structing anil using it so clearly and fully that any person familiar with the art or science to which it pertains can make ami use it These specifications niut-l b followed by tho claim, in which the inventor shows very plainly the part, improvement or combination which he claims as purely his own dis covery.

What It lit of a OnoH Vatnou aatt Power. fi nii-mati ctt. It Is somewhat of a relief to roach Syracuse after the crowd, and beg gars, ami smells, and dirt of the othet Sicilian towns; moreover, Syracuse Is onetd tho very few places of which the Ideal, formed perhaps in -years long past. Is realued. We look for quiet, and stagnation, and sunshine, and a hiellow air of antiquity, and wo find them. If we were to find Syractiso a busy, bustling port, or a wretched, hopelessly decayed place, we should be disappointed; we expect to find just enough animation to make it cheerful, and just enough quiet to remind us of Us ancient associations, and we are gratified. One fact, however, does amaze us. and that is to see how little Is left of a city which once consisted of five different towns, of which tho cireunifereneo was twenty-two miles, and which at its zenith could muster half a million of inhabi tants. Indued, all Syracuse, ancient and modern, can bo conveniently ex plored in the interval occupied by the Kubattino steamers in discharging anil taking cargo.although the conscientious antiquary coiwil spend a month in the country around, which is the site of the remainder of the ancient city. Immediately upon landing we are im pressed with the character of modern Syracuse. At any other Italian port we should almost be torn to pieces by natives eager to relieve us of onr bag gage or to il rive us anywhere. But at Syracuse we have actually to call for a porter, not from any lack of men for all along the quay, big enough lor a port with five times the commerce of Syracuse, there are sturdy fellows loung ing. Ijing. sleeping, and, of course, spit ting but because it is evident that labor is a verv secondary consideration in the lives of the Syraeusans, who, like the Sea ford boatmen, seem to get on tol erably well without any visible means of subsistence. Modern Syracuse need not occupy ns long. There i a pleasant esplanade along the water-side of the little liar bor. whither resort every afternoon the gallantry, the beauty and fashion of Syracuse, to lounge under the trees, to drive up nnd down in the most primi tive of vehicles, nnd this esplanade trr mutates at. the f un ins fountain of Are thusa, for many years ncrlcetod and emploved ts a laundry, now a neatly fenced-in pool iu which fish glide and ducks uestle under the bhade of the genuine papviu. In the town which clusters on the dills overlooking the bav, there is little of note. It is an ex traordinary Italian town, inasmuch as it is clean anil provided with a smaller modicum than usual of stenches, but otherwise unremarkable; It has a cathedral built on to the remains of it temple 'of Minerva, which was on famous for it. splendid decoration nnd it beautiful wit race, and more especial ly for a roof of gold which IiI.iZ'hI in the .mshi:ie like a beacon to the ma riner many leagues out at sea. Tb sturdy pillar still remain engrafted with the wall of the modern cathedral. but nothing more. We must take carriage to see the sights which lie in land, for the dust on the road is inches deep; tlure is absolutely no shade, and the Sicilian, sun beats down mercilessly from a sky of eternal blue. Happily, tho ruins of ancient Syracuse, after long years of neglect and vandalism. are cared for, as are all monument of tho mighty past, under the intelligent and sympathetic regime of King Hum liert. and a Government guide, iu . re turn for a franc fee, allows us to wan der where we will.

Boring for gas is exactly like boring for oil. in all it workings; but the after aperations of pumping and packing, a in the case ot some oil welts to raise the oil, are not necessary in gas-wells. If the gas is there, it will come up of Us own free will anil aeeord, and come with a ru..h, blowing .tools and every thing else out of the well before it In deed, gas men would often be as glad to keep their treasure down as oil men are to get their up. Iho great pre sure at which it is confined in the earth. and the corresponding force with which it escapes from the well, makes it some what hard to manage or control. Thi oressure is enormous as high as five hundreds pounds to the square inch in some cases where it has been guaged In the great M.-Gugin well, which was not guaged, the pressure is estimated to have reached eight hundred pound to the square inch. Any attempt to confine the gas in this well for the purpose of measuring would doubtless have resulted in send ingthe iron casing flying f rem the well, or iu producing other effects more start ing and cost 1 y t han satisfactory or agree-' able. Indeed, until recently, no plan had been devised by which tho How ol gas from a well could be stopped or re duccd. The quantity of gas that escapes from some wells is enormous, but probably no correct estimate of l has yet been made. Where tlie-g:us is 'piped" awav to mill and house'', nil that comes from the well may be used bnt if it is not all used, the ivmainde must be allowed to escape into the air, This is done at the regulator. i here it is burned. The regulator is an ar railgemeut of pipes and valves, placed between the gas-well and the town sup pliisl with the gas. It allows only ju.-T as much gas as is being burned in the tov. n to go on through the pipes, and so reduces to a proper and sate poin the dangerously high pressure of the gas as it comes rushing along from tho well. I he temperature of the gas as i comes from the wells is about fortv-tiv degrees I'nhrenhe't.- Sarnusl V.
