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

Many persons are deterred from
keeping bees from the fear of being

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. Do not invest in fancy
varieties with a view of getting sud

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

layers of snow boooma detached.

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

and with the rescued men started

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

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

A good deal lias been told and written

thing for a peon to h? murdered by some
cruel taskmaster, in plain sight of 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

TO OBTAIN PATENTS.
The I -aw la ICelatlon to th Films; of Pe
titions anil Spreiflcations.
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. It is quite important that the
-peefdeations should be well and care
lul'y prepared, as patents have often
been refused, and indeed have been
declared invalid aft r granting, be
cause, of defective hpecifieations. If
on ejaminntio!i of specifications nnd

are called, are sanl to him on payment
of the money fees. A fee of $15 is re

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
