la-come so far an invalid that his friends
deemed it nn.-afe for him to set oil' on
o h)i;g a journey ahnc. Alter many
family deliberations, it was arranged
that Flunk, and Eden, thei
M"'r' !
should .iceomiianv him, and run in one
winter, if not lonio.r, in the we-d.
A their means were limited, Frank
and Filer, began, soon after arriving in
Caiifor:.: !. to look about toe some way
to earn a iiviag. Kivcli, too, a? his
health improved, wished for something
to do; and at length they were, by
(Lance, h-d to buy thirteen hives of
bees of a lady who herself formerly an
invalid had been employing; her leisure
in .-ii K ul.i'.re, but now was about
re
turning to her ho
me in New York,
With these thirteen hi.
the voung
(oldens entered upon tiie honey-producing
bu-i ae-s early in lsSvl. For a
year they resided ia the vicinity of Los
Angeh.-, but lie.diag that the bees, us
the number of swarms increased, were
unpopular among their neighbors, they
were led to move from so thickly inhab
ited a district, and lived for a time near
Mo jave.
Thence, h wevcr, early the following
soring, they again moved to a tract of
unoccupied country farther back among
the. mou.itains, in a kind of long defile.
or crooked valley, inclosed by a wooded
range on cither hand, but which, from
the great abundanc; of wild tlowcrs,
affords good pasture for bees. Here
they are at present dwelling, and ii is
from a number of letters from them to
their tri -mis at home that the present
sketch is compiled.
The we.aher there is so favorable and
the climate so mild that bees require but
little feeling with artificial sweets,
though, of course, more honey can be
produced for market if, at certain times
of tho year, the swarms are thus pro
vided with food.
The hives are arranged so that
drawers, or boxes, when filled with
honey by the bees, can be withdrawn,
and empty ones substituted in their
places.
Swarms of bees vary in sizo and iu in
dustrv as honey-gatherers. Some swarms
produce in a year not, more than twenty
poun Is that can pni-F-nCy be with
drawn from them; some, indeed, from
ceit ii causes, will not even gather
enough honey for their own support.
Other swarms produce forty or fifty
pound, and stiil others much more.
The Hoidetis hive now between two
ki.'i three hundred hive, having made
11 ri.ie so far to keep all tho new
5 .v arms; which come out, though a few
have e-e;n,ed. The care of this nu
merous toiuiiy occupies all their time
and attention, and they hire two Indian
girls to assist them to watch the nu
merous stib-coionies which they have
-tab!i-h-.-d in dill' rent parts 0f the val
kv, generally within a mile 0f each
oiher. For it will not do to have all
the-- -.wo hundred swarms, or more
colie. t - ,,.;ar one spot, ou account of
the pa-iure supply of llovvera being over
led, and die bees having to go -o far
Ihe whole number of swarms is di
vided up ioto groups of ten or fifteen
hives, and these arc oiten shifted from j
place to plii'-e as the season passes.
For moving a ut -color, v to fresh i.as ,
turage, the hoy- have a plutfoim -' '
upon four wheels, and drawn by two
steady inuh-s. Then. ; ft r the he-s
have entered the hive at night, they are
closed in, and tic hives ate transferred
to the platform. V'-ty candidly then,
and slowly, o as not to jar the hive too i
mueh, the t r an-port at ion oi the colony
to the di-tanee of a mile or two is et
lccted. At the time of thi- story, some tiru
in March or Apiilof la-l year, -the
Holdens had ))a-turv.d out ten hives at a
joint higher uj the alley tlian any
they had previously occupied. Tn poir.t
of fact, the new pa-ture was in a hranch
of the main valley. 1 1 it her t hey had
come tip from their hec-sheds next he
low, two m les distant, with a load ol
hives, and built a "re-t" lor them near
two large oaks great tree with wide
spreading branches that nearly touched
the. ground on the north side of tic;
intervale, at the foot of the mountain.
It was a favorable location, for on the
south side the bees had the entire val
ley, well stocked with flowers and
flowering shrub, outspread before
them; and so sec.ude l did the
place
seem that tho young; apiarists judged it :
entirely safe to leave the bj s to gather .
honey here, unguarded, for a few days
at least.
Having seen to it. therefore, that the
hives were well placed, they returned
down the valley to their shanty-house,
where their sister and the India i girls
looked after the few simple domestic
alTairs of the household. In fact, h was
quite their custom tints to colonize a
new pasture, and thus they had met with
few losses. Honey m small quantity.
had been stolen from them on o.ieortwo i
occasions and once a number of deer, in
their lligiit acro-s the valley, had upet
three or four hives.
Hut on tliis occasion they met with, a
mishap: for o.i giung to the place two
or three days afterward, to see how their
; - wariov "ii an ins. were livostiering,
; Frank found o le hi o upsot, and
i another of the ten missing altogether.
From the latter circumstance, as also
; from certain marks and traces ia the
g aiss, resemb'.i-ag footprints, he at once
concluded that some thief had
"jumped"' the hive.
A few davs before thev had heard the
report of a gun several times, faint and
at a distance, and had conjectured that ,
th-re was a hunting party, either of j
whites or Indians, on the other side of j
the mountain. j
"Some of them hive probably been '
spying about and got th' ir eyes on that
row of hives," was Frank's thought.
Whether the rogues would r.st con
tent with the honey of one hive, or come
back after mote, was what no one could
guess. The brothers, however, deemed
it prudent to expect them again, and
would have gone up and drawn the re
maining hives down to camp, if the j
two Indian girls hid not been sent down j
to the postoihee a little setth-m .nt
twelve miles away with the mules, to
get the mail and a stock of groceries.
Roswell therefore proposed that, al
ter supper, they should take a little
shelter tent which they had, and go up !
to the new rest, in order to pass the
night where they could guard th" hive.
For by this time the older brother had
so far recovered his health as to be the
stronger of the two.
As KHen did not like to be left en
tirely alone site proposed to accompany
them. They accordingly set oft", tak-
ing along the tent, three blankets and
a Winchester caibiae.
Arriving at the rest just at dusk, they
pitched their little shelter tent no u- the
trunk of one of the oaks already re-
ferred to, and in such a manner that the j keep them shut.' To meet this ditlicuity

They all started up and listened in

Roswell, starting up, took the Win
chester and peeped out amongst the oak
branches. What looked like a tall,
"slouching"' man was iu the very act of
taking one of the hives in his arms,
despite the loudly buzzing bees. As

about, both here and hi St. Petersburg,
! for tea drinkers, both lich and poor,
'fhe trulv Russian restaurant is verydi?-
j f( rent from the European ones. The
j waiters are all attired in white from
j head to foot, with a large black j urse
at the wai-t, mid are always nil men.
There i generally a large barrel organ,
which gives out the latest airs. It is
wonderful how mudi tea a Russian will
drink. Tho writer entered one morn
ing one of these restaurants with ..
young Pus-dan. Tea was ordered, ami
one glass followed another with the
of ; li-i-sian until he hid drank seven. He
said lie had often dr.nk eleven, and
that tifteen were not too many for an old
hand. The tea is drunk alone or with
lemon, and the sugar eaten from the
hand. A peculiar kind of bread or roll
is eaten with it. - Albany Journal.
A Wonderful tirapeviue.
Mr. A. F. Tift has upon his place in
Key West, Fla., a wonderful grapevine
covering a great trellis. This vine bears
four crops every year. The grapes
grow in exceedingly compact clu-.ters,
many of them weighing as much as
eight pound-; and the vine is literally
- loaded with bunches. It is
a native
- of the West India island-,
ooa b. v
I of Jamaica. As an illustration of the
dense nature of the bunches, the
j grapes grow so thick upon them that
' the center grapes frequently cannot
