Working The picturesque and traditional straw hive Is nowadays used only in those in nil communities! where the people clini to ttio ways of their fathers. The hive of the past was a chamber in which tho bees weralcft to their own devices a prey to their natural ene mies and unnatural His. and from w hich their honey product was onl obtained by a ruthless slaughter of tht boney-makers themselves, who were smothored in the fume of sulphur and brimstone. The hive of the present is a structure any part of which can at any time be reached or removed by thti bee-keeper, who may thus practically exerc'so a control over the work of the bees, and study their singular habits. In our slu.ly of the sul jict, let us tart with an empty hire, modern, of course. It may bo one of fifty different kinds, or shapes, but li will hare cer ' foirei . common to all There will be some teii shelves, or frame, fir.ed one above another, or hong downwards in a row. with a suQcient pace between each, and around each, to allow the free passage of the bees. The spaces must not bo larger than this, or the be. 'S will fill them with comb and honey, and thus render it impossible for ns to have ace-iss to the Taiioiis framea without cutting away lb.9 deposit. into this empty hire we pnt a swarm of bees. If we revisit it in two or three d:tvs, we shall find that a marvel ous change has taken plaeo' in tho in terior. The frames are all fi'.led with blocks of hoieycomb, tiny .waxen cells, hexagonal in shape, and built with all the nicety and precision of skilled engineering. This is the first of the many wonders which character izes the work of ths bee-hive. Here is a miniature city,"constrnct?d ont of a delicate and yot strong fabric, and bnilt according to the most exact peoroetrical principles. It has been the wonder of naturalists and rnathe mat'eianafor ages, not merely the fact of a building, bat the manner of build ing. In the struct urw of these hexagonal cells, the bae has solved for itself an intricate mathematical prob lem. It has chosen the. form which the science of geometry has proved is the only one suitable to the varions purposes for which the honc3-co:nb is designed, and it uted this form ages before men knaw a ;y thing of gvom- eti v. - Having built their city, the bee next proceed to pnt if in order and furnish their dwellings. We will assume that the season is spring, as we should by no means have put the swarm into a new hive after the honey se.-tson. leav ing it unstocked f.r the winter. The principal membsr of the colony Is the queen, whom you can eaily distinguish from all the rest, because her body Is longer than the others, and becanse he entries herself in a royal fashion, urronnded by a reiinue of loyal attendants. The q-ieen is. properly speaking, the mother-bee. E ich bee in the hive is her own child -There are thousands of these children. A pros perous and well-stocked hive will con tain from twenty to fifty thousand and even s'xty thousand bees. They are divided into two classes workers and drones. The workers aro females, but they have no . offspring. The drones are males, and, as their name im plies, do not work. They seldom form more thai a fiftieth part of the population of the hive. The mother-bee, or qneen, to use the " name by which she is best known, has, p.trently, some weather -signal serv ice of her own, for she seems -to know whether or not the season will be pro ductive of honey, and to lay her 'ergs accordingly. If the season is forward ehe begins her work early in the spring; if it is backward she defers it for a few weeks or a month. She pro duces from two to three thousand eggs every twenty-four hours, depositing each one in a sep irate cell, which she 1 - 1 . . f ..,.nn. L..,!.... .... no it is in proper order. The larvae which issue from these eggs in the course f three or four days are assiduously attended by bees who act the part of nurses, and event ually close the monihs of the cells with a waxen cover. In twenty-one days from the time the egs were laid the inmates of the cells Lrenk throngh the waxen lids and issue forth in the shape of perfect worker bees. They are then taken in charge by the nurses, who evidently explain to them the .ife of the hive, and in another day or two they venture out upon the world nd begin then work in the fields and meadows. The birth of a drone is at tended by similar processes, some what longer, however, in duration. Toung queens come into being in a much shorter time. Each ot these three clasess of bees is born, or hatched, in a cell belonging to its own kind, and constructed fo: this special bnrpose. The royal cells are not only larger than the others, but they are oval, jnstead of hexagon al, in shape; and, while the other in fants are fed by their nurses with bo-e-bread, which is a preparation of po len and honey, the yonng princesses, and they only, are regaled with a spe cial food, which is called "royal jally." It often happens that, if a mishap befalls the qneen. and she has left no royal egg from which a successor may be hatched, the bees will take a worker egg from its proper receptacle, place it in a royal cell, feed the larva npon royal jily, and, in the course of time a full-fledged queen will issue forth to occupy the throne of the deceased monarch. This is a most singular and wise provision of nature, and one which naturalists have not yet been able clearly to explain. When the young bee first ventures Into the npen air it flies in a cirele aronnd the hive, the circle constantly expanding until the youngster has .Ukyj its eh.srratjoas at every altf.st in the vicinity, familiarizing itself with every prominent landmark, that may servo to guide it in its future flights. After this reconnoitring expedition, the tee always wings its way in a straight line to its destination, never losing iU beat ings; and even though there may bo a hundred hives together, and a million bees flying in and out of them, it hastens with unerring certainty to its own home. . Mistress Bao has three objects in making these excursions, as she does a hundred times a daw She seeks to collect honey and pollen the fine fer tilizing dust of tho flowers and popo- lis, a sticky substance gathered from the hud or bark of such tree as the fir. the poplar or tho chestnut. Tht pollen is stored away as food for tho little ones, and the propolis comes into uso as cement in the delicate, hiswnry of tho hive. While some of the bees are hnnring in the fields others remain at home to nurse the infants, store away the honey and the pollen as it is brought in, and attend to the thousand and one duties incident to a well-regulated com munity. When Mistress Bm out In pastures. alights upon a flower, she finds, deep in its sweet embrace, a precious liquid. rapidly deposited by the blossom in warm and sunny weather. This she proceeds to cither. It is the honey. which, being swallowed and digested hy her, is suuJocUra to some peculiar process before it is placed i the hiro in the form familiar to us all. The honey obtained, she proceeds to freight h'Tself with pollen, litis she rolls into tiny pellets, and stows it away in pouches in her posterior legs. She will even completely cover herself with this dust, and upon roaohlng home her sister will caret ully brush her - on. gathering up the previous material. that nothin? may be los and place it in the storehouse cells. Perhaps the mat remarkable thing in connection with thesj honey and pol len gathet-ing excursions of the bee is tho fact that she confine hor search to a single species of flower on eaoh jour ney. This is most important. As it is one of the bee's function to fer tile undeveloped plants with the pol len proper to its species, the effect of any mistake on her part would sadly confuse onr bo anical studies. Oj a very warm day you will oe several bees standing at the door of the hive, with their feet firmly fast ened to tho fl or, and flapping thir wings with a 1 their might, ihey are ventilating the frre, and, by this contmueil exertion, their wings, op erating as fans, propel a current of cool air into their dwelling, and pre vent the inmates from suffering by the intense heat. As this operation must be very fatifniinsr. the fanners are relieved at regular interval by others who continue the exercise. The bee's scent is keen, and nothlnw annoys her more than an offensive smelL S ie is particularly averse to the odr of p.'rsoiratl.m. either upon man or beat. Neither will she sub mit to be breathed upon, and great care has thus to ba exercised by the bee-keeper in handling his swarms. When more than one princes Is born, the rivals engage in an Immedi ate and deadly duel, and the survivor claims the throne from the mother queen, who, with such loyal subject as choose to fallow her. goes forth into the world in search of a new home, which the bee-keeper has care fully prepared meanwhile, and the young queen remains behind to carry on the work of her roval mother. Bee-keeping is a pleasant and profit able industry. It is practice I to a greater extent In '.he United S.ates than in any other part of the world, anil the bees add millions of dollars a year to onr N ational wealth. Any reader of the Companion, who lives in tho coun ;ry, can keep b-e if he will first seek the ;.diiee of an authoritative book up on the sn! j -ct; but he mn-t remember that bees require as mnch car as choice sheep, or cattle, or blooded norsea, and that the true b3e-keeper is even more assiduous in guarding hi swarms than is the farmer in looking to his flocks and herds. Properly hived ard watched, bees will obey the behest of man, and labor for him as well for themselves. Arthur Warren, tn Youth's Companion. PERSONAL AND IMPERSONAL. Mrs. James T.

Cambridge University, England, has conferred an honorary degree upon Prof. Asa Gray, the botanist, of Har vard College. It is said that the late Colonel Sam P.

Millionaire Flood has recently en- closed his ban rrancisco palace with a bronze fence which cost 130,000. and he is now adding two large bronze gates, each weighing 4,000 pounds. which will cost $15,000 more. Those two celebrated preachers. Rev. Dr. Bacon and Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, were once disputing on some religious subject, when the former accused the latter of using wit m. hi sermons. "Well, said Mr. Beecher, "suppose it had pleased God to give you wit, what would you have done?' The Epoch. King David's treasure amounted to $3,000,000,000.

Jean Jacques Rousseau, with all the power of his genius and all the warmth of the interest which he took in youth. exposod the lamentable corruption of tuste which assorts that the figure is excellent in proportion to the waist. The philosopher of Gonova exercised more social Influence, perhaps, m Lis time than any writer in Europe, and for a while stays wont out of fashion In France Stiff oorsots were still worn by the ladles of the old court; but sen sible mothers came to a common agree ment that their daughters should sub ject themselves to this voluntary pun- ; isnmmit at as lato a period as possible, and not until their wedding day were they allowed to wear stays. The revolution swept away the corset altogether, as well as hoop petticoats. but stays again made their appenr ance toward the end of the First Em pire. A very harmless affair, scarcely broader than the "fasclm mamillares" ot the Romans, was the imperial bodice; for waists were then worn ex cessively short, aiid the stays were without, busks, stiff pieces of whale bone or steel plates. Modi Hod. how ever, as they were, the strong common sense of Napoleon revolted against the reir.troduction of the garment. "Cor visart," said the ruler, whose business it was to know every thing, to bis physician, "the corset is coquetry of the worst taste; it tortures women and maltreats their progeny; it means friv olity; it heralds decadence." On the authority ot the most eminent physicians and surgeons of the last two generations it mny be stated that in the head tight lacing pntdnce gidd - ness, headache, pain In the eyes, ring ing in the ears, and bleeding at the nose. Habitual tight lacing will pro voke that most undesirable addition to the female complexion a red nose. Tight lacing is quite as mischlevou In the region of the thorax, to which It gives s f;ilse support. Impeding tho ile velo;meftt of the natural support It displaces the bones, deranges the cir culation. Induces scirrbus in the mam mary glands, and ultimately cancer; and it is a tolerably sure provocation of lung disease, palpitation of the heart, and water In the chest In the abdominal region tight lacing may be reckoned upon with tolerable con fidence to bring about loss of appetite, squearaishness. indigestion. Induration of the liver, melan cholia, dropsy, and rupture, dm pin closely associated tight-lacing with squinting; Bonnaud said that it led to polypus; Plainer maintained that to tight-lawng mothers unhealthy chil dren were born; J;sephl warned the lovers of stiff corsets that their chil dren would be nglv;Wormes remarked that one ot the trifling inconveniences of tizht-lacing was swollen feet; and Winslow showed that there was an in timate connection between tight-lac ing, curvature of the spine, and hunch back. Every scholar is aware that stays are articles of attire of the very high est antiquity, and that eestnsof Agale was practically a corset Some an tiquarians have ever contended that the grid I j whieh Juno wore when she wished to appear her loveliest In the eyes of Jupiter was a pair of st-iys. Hie Empress Messalina was wont to have her body cravat adjusted very tightly before she -reeeeded to pass a happy evening in the suburra, while m the reig I of Augustus an Im proved corset was introduced called a castula;" it fitted closely to the form, and had the agreeable addition of a dress improver. The ladies' stays of the Middle A-es were known as justaueorpV and subsequently as "cotteshardies;" but Isabeaii de Baviere, the consort of Charles VL tf France, totally repudiat ed stays, aud. beeides, laid it down as a sumptuary canon that there should be as iittle"drapiry as possible between the necklace and the lace. When the Italian Catherine brought In the execrab'e busk, which was first of woed or of ivory, the cors:t successively d ve'qod in rigidity and obduracy. It lecame a cage, it became a cuirnss, and it had to be so tightly laced that, the muscular power if the ordinary femme de chambre" being inadequate to the pulley-hauling required, the court ladies used to send for the strongest of the F.irts de la Ilalle to tug at their stay-laces, and even these athletic creatures could not accomplish their task to the entire satisfac'.lorr of I heir fnshionable employers without pressing one foot firmly against the bedpost in order te obtain the neces sary pnrchase of leverage. The cor sets of the present day, whether they be machine-made or hand-fashioned from the acr urate measurement of the customer, invariably present the same general characteristics of fastening in front aud profusely boned at the sides; whilo at the back thero is that disas trous interstice with its permanent criss-cross lacing, which can bo pulled and hauled at until the vain and silly wearer commits constructive suicide. -London TcUgrnp lMmel Fratt "the Great American Traveler," who recently died at the Boston City Hospital, was a curious character.
