The
Age of Drones.
It is somewhat difficult to ascertain
the age of the drones, because the
poor fellows are so often hustled out
of the way, for the simple reason
that they are no longer wanted. But
we may be safe in assuming It is
something less than the age of the
worker. If kept in a queenless hive
they might live for three or four
months, perhaps.
Age of the Queen.
As the queen does little or no out
door work, and is seldom killed by
violence, as are the drones, we might
expect her to live to a good old age,
and this she does, despite Jier ardu
ous aviparous duties. Some queens
die seemingly of old age the second
season, but generally they live
through the fourth year. They are
seldom profitable after the third year
and it is usually the case that the
Italians have a young queen “help
ing her mother’’ in egg laying du
ties, before she comes unprofitable.
If a very large amount of brood is
found in a hive, two queens will of
ten be found, busily employed, and
this point should he remembered
, while seeking to introduce valuable
queens.
Alfalfa 0P Lucerne.
There is a difference of opinion in
regard to this plant, especially to
itg adaptibility to the average soils
of the different States. In the great
deserts of the West,—California, Ari
zona, Idaho—and wherever irrigation
is depended upon to raise crops, al
falfa is a great honey plant—perhaps
one of the greatest in the world; cer
tainly the greatest for artificial pas
tures. The beekeeper is in need of
very little in the great American Des
ert. where the weather is favorable
for the flight of bees, and where al
falfa is grown in fields of thousands
of acres.
Some writers say that the rain wo
have here would be fatal to it during
the majority of s eas( ns. Others say
that the rain, provided the land is
underdrained, will do no harm.

Interesting safeguards 0 f Every Kind
Useq in Making xtragooD Suits.
Mothers are Just as interested to
know that their boys’ clothes are
made as carefully and under Just as
healthful conditions as their little
girls’ clothes are made at home.
It is for this reason, so that moth
ers can be sure of the conditions un
der which their boys’ clothes were
made, that Ederhelmer, Stein & Co.,
the large makers of XtragooD boqs’
clothes in Chicago, place their Xtra
gooD label on each suit.
This label guarantees that the ma
terials used are Just what they ap
pear to be and what is claimed for
them; that the garments are made
under the most healthful conditions,
because the model, modern tailoring
•hop* of Ederhelmer, Stein & Co. are
the finest of their kind in America.
They are new buildings, built with
windows on all sides, so that the
fresh air freely circulates, and the
sunshine penetrates even to the most
remote corners of the workrooms,
which are kept clean with the most
scrupulous care.

Sto/e in the Rodgers Jewelry

Shall They Have Thanksgiving?
Dr. Jacobs, of the Thornwell Or
phanage, Clinton, S. C., writes:
“A little child alone in the world,
its bright black eyes filled with tears,
came to me held by the hand of a
good woman. Only five years old,
fatherless, motherless, she finds her
self after a long ride on the cars, un-
| der the care of a friendly traveler,
| at the door of the Orphanage. But
j poor little thing, she knows nothing
1 of where she is, does not even know
| the place from which she came; she
i hag her name written on a slip of
paper as an introduction to the kind
friends who are hereafter to care for
her. She brings a little package un-
i dor her arms.—it is her all of woildly
i goods. So it was, only a few weeks
ago, but now how differf-nt. Tears
are dried. She is opening her bright
eyes to the lessons that come to her
daily. Falling into the routine of
chapel and school and dinner and
j play, siie is waking up, her young
: soul is speaking through lips and
fingers and p et and dimpled cheea.
“Someone now loves % the little girl.
Someone puts her to sleep at night
I after her lips have whispered “Our
I Father.” She is finding a home, she
is finding herself, she will some day
i find God.”
This little child was welcomed to
the loving care 0 f the Thornwell Or-
| phanage. Every one of the 250 chil
dren in the school of that institution
have had more or less of the same ex
perience. It is true that between
them and grim necessity, there is to
day a strong wall of defence. But
the people who love God and little
children are that wall. The Orphan
age is under Presbyterian control,
but It is for all orphans. It
none away because of its father's
faith. There are 158 orphans from
South Carolina under its care, 02
from Georgia. 23 from Florida and
the rest from ten other Southern
States. Not one has a living father.
Send gifts of provisions or money
to Thornwell Orphanage, Clinton,

Jacobs.
A Long Hunt
(San Francisco Chronicle.)
Alter more logs had been thrown
on the lire and pipes lighted, the
talk drifted around to thd middle fork
of the American river and country
round about
“The strongest remembrance I have
of that country is of the big grizzly
that chased me out,” said Bill Bailey.
“I was a-pickin’ wild strawberries
up on the side of the mountain, wneu
some pebbles, dirt, an’ one thing an’
attotbex came a clatterin’ down; you
all know how it is on a hill-side when
something heavy is movin' above you.
I looked up, and s’elp me if there
wasn’t a whoopin’ big grizzly a sneak
in’ me; yes, sir, doin’ the sneak act
right up on me.
“You ought to seen me go down
that mountain; I’ll bet my tracks was
a rod apart, and in some places I
didn’t leave no tracks—Jest nacher-
ally went through the air. But the
hear was hittln’ only the high places,
too, an’ the faster I went the faster
he came. I could hear his ‘woof’ right
behind me. an’ sometimes I believed
I felt his hot breath on the hack of
my neck. But I fooled him good an’
plenty."
“How?”
“I’d crossed the river on my way
up. an’ while the ice would bear me,
I knowed it wouldn’t hold no no fif
teen hundred pound grizzly, so I
headed for the river an’ out on the
ice. So did the hear, but not far out.
He went through, an’ I kep’ on; I
didn’t even stop to see if he got out.
I wag afeared he would.”
“Oh—you said you was pickin’
strawberries."
“So I was. so .1 was; but I didn’t
tell all the story, for it would be too
long. That bear chased me from Au
gust to January.’
