Novor Broak tho Fruit, But Ropalr tho Dam ago Dono by Wot Woathor and Birds. EDITORS Know UK Cou KI KU : I want to say n word in defonso of tbo much-abused boney bee. Every summer wo hoar moro or ICHS com plaint about the bees eating np tho grapes, damaging peaches, otc. It is strange some people don't know their beat friends. That tho little honey beo is a great benefit to tho fruit grower is well known to everyone who lias taken tho trouble to inform himself on thc subject. It has been proven time and nguiu that thc bees never break the hull of tho grape. To prove this you may tnko a prefect bunch of grapes and plaeo it in a hivo of bees and it will remain thoro until it dries up, and will never bo disturbed by tho bees unless thc skin is broken. After tho sparrows break tho hulls, or wet weather bursts tho grapes open, thou thc bec comes in, take;; up tho juice that is going to waste, and right there is where the bees come in with their help? They take up tho juice before it ferme ats and runs down on tho other berries and spoils them, which it will do inside of forty-eight hours, if the bees do not clean up the cracked berries. So instead of doing harm they are a benefit to the grape. But this is not tho only place where tho little busy bees come in with their help. The first anti great purpose for which bees were created was for aiding in tho fertilization of flowers of different kinds. The honey, as food for man, comes in as secondary. To provo this wc only find honey or nectar secreted in such flowers that are incapable of self-fer tilization, while thoso capablo of be ing fertilized by the agency of the wind, etc., secrete no nectar. For example, we find no nectar in wheat, corn, oats, rye, etc., all these being capable of self-fertilization by tho rustling of their stalks in tho wind. Then thoro aro all the clovers, the squash and the vine family, none of which are capablo of being fertilized through tho process applici.'olo to the first. All the..3 last named secrete honey for thc sole purpose of entic ing bees, flies, otc, for fertilization, so that they may mature seed and perpetuate their kind. The same thing holds good with trees of all kinds. In fact, if it wore not for tho bees there would be very little perfect fruit in the country, because to make f'vit set and grow to perfection the po. on must be car ried from one bloom to another, and the honey bee is the main agency for this work, and should be welcomed in every orchatd and vineyard. It is claimed for the industry of bee-keep ing what can be claimed for no other, namely : It does not take from any other thing that which would make it moro valuable in returning tho Haine, but on the contrary adda to its value. 1\.

There is no hotter basis upon which to estimato thc civilization, or rather the material advancement, of a people than tho prevalence of good roads among them. They form the local arteries of trade, reaching out to fountain heads from which the waters of trade are gathered to form thc great streams and oceans of com merce. Good roads aro good tax payers, because they relieve the far mers and tradesmen of tho country of their heaviest burdon, for it is well-known that ono of tho most con stant, most 'roublcsome and most wearing of all the taxes they pay is the transportation of their pro ducts to market over bad roads. Prosperous communities, therefore, aro made by good roads, and, in turn, good roads are an index to the 1 prosperity of a community.-J. li.

Now Yoik and Philadelphia Contribute to the Advanoomont of tho South. Baltimore awl the South aro to bu jointly congratulated at tho com manding financial power which this city is now developing, because it means tho most forceful i?fl?etico for Southern upbuilding which has evor boon turned upon that scotion. New York and Philadelphia have con tributed largely to tho material ad vanoomont of the South ; in fact, it hus been estimated that New York investments in tho South aggregate as much ns a billion dollars; but neither Now York nor Philadelphia has over made tho dovolopmont of the South a loading foaturo of its financial operations. Baltimore, on tho contrary, is so pre-eminently Southern by virtuo of its location, its sentiment and its trade interests that it must look to tho expansion and upbuilding of that Hcotion ns ita chief field of operation. In tho South there is undeveloped wealth sufficient to profitably employ practically unlimited capital and to furnish a broad field for tho greatest business energy and ability of this remarkable g?n?ration. Tho natural resources and advantages of the South aro groat enough to croate industries and trade equaling in magnitude tho cntiro mining, manu facturing and commercial interests of tho country. Economic changes in finance and in thc world's general business interests brought about by the revolutionizing iniluonccs of modern inventions and methods changes beyond human control-aro now forcing tho world's manufactur ing interests to tho place of cheapest production ?- thu placo whore tho raw material is found in tho greatest Abundance and most cheaply turned into tho finished product. Thia means that tho South is to be tho greatest manufacturing country on the face of tho earth. What that means can bo faintly comprehended when it ia remembered that Eng land's wealth and power aro baaed DU her manufactures; that thc United States has $0,000,000,000 capital invested in factories whose annual product ia valued at ovoi M0,000,000,000, or three times thc Lotal annual value of all agricultural products of tho country, and thal the 5,000,000 banda now employed in thc industrial interests of thu country receive about $2,500,000, OOO a year in wages. Of this vast industry-the foundation of om marvelous national progresa-tin basis on which Nev/ York, Philadel phia, Boston, Chicago, Pittsburg und the other great cities of th h country rest-tho South bas now less than one-tenth. The middle riged man of to-day may live to soi Ibo South's industrial interests cqua in capital, in production and ii wenlth-orcation tho entire buaincai now represented by these stupend aus figures for thc whole country Thirty years from now tho 25.000, 000 people of tho South, by natura increase alone, baaed on tho percent rigo of increase for a contury, wil have advanced to nearly or quit f)0,000,000, and it must bo rcmom bored that our entire country ha? but 51,000,000 inhabitants in 188 ?nd (52,000,000 in 1890. To attomp Lo picture tho future progress am prosperity of thia section would in vito thc criticism that thc write must bo a visionary enthusiast. Fact which cannot, however, bo dispute prove all that bus been said and poi ri to a future of material advaneemen perhaps never equaled. The construction of the Nican guan canal will revolutionise tb world's coin meroo in favor of th country and bring about a marve [>ua notivity and prosperity at all or South Atlantic and Gulf port rbis chango in tho world's ahippin interests, and tho development ( tho West Indies, which will inui to thc benefit of the South, wi make this section ns dominant i commercial affairs na in manufai Lures.

In viow of thcBo faota, it is moat opportune, that liait?inoro ia becom ing Buflioiontly strong financially to furnish tho unpitnl ncoded for tho dovolopmont of tho South. Some yoara ago tho Morcantilo Trust and Deposit Co. was organized, largoly for tho purpose of finanoing South ern railroad and municipal scouritics. Ita great auocoss onused others to soo tho opportunity, and thou canto tho Baltimore Trust Co. and thc Mary land Trust Co., both of which havo been activo factors in Southern af fairs. Tho Morcantilo Company has a capital of $2,000,000 and a surplus of $8,000,000 ; tho Baltimore Trust and Guarantco Co.'s capital is $1,000,000 and surplus $1,500,000; tho Maryland has a capital of $1, 000,000 and surplus of $f>00,000. A fow months ago tho Continental Trust Co. was organized with a capi tal and surplus of $4,000,000, largely ovor-Bubsoribcd ; thc Citi/.ons' Trust Co., with a capital and surplus of $2,500,000, and now thc Interna tional Trust Co, hnB boon organized with a capital and surplus of $8,000, 000, and, >ut $12,000,000 of bona fido subscriptions were received. In addition to theso wo have tho Mary land Casualty Co., probably the largest company of its kind in thc United States ; tho American Bond ipg and Trust Co., capital and sur plus $1,500,000; the Fidelity s and Deposit Co., capital and surplus $2,000,000 ; tho Guardian Trust Co., tho United StatoH Fidelity and Guaranty Co., and Hovcral other strong companies. The total actual cash capital roprcscntcd in those companies ?a over $25,000,000. Their success has been so great that tho selling valuo of their stock runs from 00 por cent abovo par to bH)0 per cont, and ovon theso prices aro not near ns high as for Bimilnr ?tocks in Now York. Tho organization of theso great financial enterprises is simply a new form of banking, with broader power? than national bank? possess, enabling them to finance great industrial and railroad under takings. With thi? vast aggregation of wealth concentrated upon 'be de velopment of the South tbeiu must como a moro rapid advancement of that Hcotion than wc have over seen. Thc South affords room for the pro fitable employment of all this capital, und the operation of these companies will bring Baltimore and tho South into tho closest trade relations. Thc Meld is broad enough for tho fullest development of all these strong finan ical companies. With their influence, backed by that of our private banker? and national bank?, Baltimore pro misos to take a loading position ns a groat financial center-a position coramon'jurate with its many advan tages. -Manufacturers' Record.
