A CHINAMAN’S BABY GOD This was told in the council room of the Chong Wah Kung Saw, when the incense sticks of the Slieang-tai were smoldering and the sacred fire of t’aan- heung was burning before the shrine. -l^oi Hing. who married a ch’an white woman, had become a father. He had left his t’ong-yan wife in Kwiing-tnng anu said he would never go back to the land of his emperor. He married a Ger- man girl when he kept a laundry in Brooklyn,.and so great was the wrath of her parents that he had to run away to New York with her and leave his laun dry in the care of his conisin, Moi Hank. He rented one room np near the roof of a four story tenement in Park street, within the throw of a stone by a child from Mott street. It was not a fine place for p, white man to live, and white men had not lived there for years. Chi namen do not mind dark rooms, and the German girl who married Moi Hing made the best of her bargain by not complaining. Around the yat bunlows and in the fan tan shops they call Moi Hing paan- tim-ke-yat, the Freckled One, because when the disease which the English call ■mallpox raged in the Kwang-tung dis trict be came back to life like one whom the gods desire to reserve for a different fate. But his skin was no longer smooth. It showed the claw marks of the monster represented in the pictnro books as having eyesof fire and claws of steel. ", ‘ ’ • -The men in the fan tan shops always liked to see the Freckled One come aronnd, for they knew he would not go away until he left them all his money to keep nntil he won It back. And he •never staid very long. They talked of these things because it came before the story told with excited S iture to the forty in the ebony chairs. e Freckled One had, wheu his face 1 was smooth as that of a Peking belle, learned how to carve curious things out- of wood from a master of the art. He had learned so well that he used to carve the goda of the sea and of earth and of heaven for tin) shrines in the Joss houses. Bnt the ch’unt-tan monster who left marks upon the faces of his victims when he did not Jjdll, had stricken Moi Hing down while he was at labor, and when he was well again he conld not bear to look upon the work done with sharp knives and skillful hands. The baby'which was born to him had bine eyes and hair like the fine threads of gold with which the people of Yat- poon-kwok made wonderful embroidery. “The American God has smiled upon it," said Moi Hing when he first saw it. “A-little god has been sent to me to atone for the work of the Chinese mon ster,” and he passed one hand over his pitted face, and taking off his sandals, salaamed three times before the bed and poured wine upon the floor. He went ont and bought woods that were hard, and when he brought them to the room, which was lighted only by one window, be began to carve as hs used to do in £wang-tnng nnder the master. But he found new subjects for his work, and instead of reproducing on the block of wood the deities of the imperial dy nasty or the sea gods with eyes like fishes And scales on their breasts, he carved ont tbe images of children, with round eyes like the bine ones his baby had, and he put .wreaths aronnd their heads. It was a wonderful piece of work, and he kept at it by the yellow light of his tang at night and by the gray light which came through the window daring the day. When it was finished he set it on the floor against the wall, and he built a p’aang, or platform, in front of it, and upon this he made the baby’s bed. At each corner were bnrning Joss sticks, and as the incense went np in a straight line he belie veil the God of the white people were satisfied. All of his money he spent for incense offerings for the blue eyed one, and he placed gifts before the platform—little tooi-liaai, made of bine satin, which should be put on the little feet some day —and made garments of brocaded silk and a cap with a red button of the third degree npon it. The cousin in the laundry in Brooklyn proved nnfaithfa]. and said there was no money there, and the hand of the evil one was laid npon the brain of Moi Hing. Hing saw strange things, and when he walked on the street he talked to him self and cursed the men of his own race. Be went into the fan tan shops and de manded the money he hud lost weeks before. In order to get rid of him they gave him a few pieces of silver. After the first visit, when they saw him com ing, the keepers would say: “Here emues the crazy Freckled One. Give him some cash or he will bring us hud Inck." IgaB [pf T if* M The story of the' Freckled One’s bine eyed baity soon became common report, bnt no Cbinainan ever saw the face of tbe child, so zealously was that one little room guarded. From want, the little German mother grew thin and pale. They had their bowl of .rioe three times a d.iy, and sometimes the Freckled One would bring from the restaurant some chan che gett, the feet of a sow, pickled. But he hiul no eyes for the suffering of -■to aaauir- ftft •- • ■ . — - r\ l his wife, nor would he listen to her just I complaints. He spent most of his time iu the worship of his tittle white god, as even now hia spirit iv.ta seeking release from a worn out body. ' He told how Moi Hing had worshiped all one nigat before the platform, and called the blue eyed baby a white god, destined by heaven to grow up into a fine woman and deliver the Chinese from the control of the imperial dynasty, iu fulfillment of tho prophecy made more than a thousand Tears ago. Wearied with his devotions, Moi Hing had at last fallen asleep. Tho tittle German wife had wanted to take the. baby to her bed, but he had said no. So, when he was asleep, she who had been waiting crept out of bed toward the shrine and took the baby in her arms. It was cold and still, and sho nestled it alose to her breast, as mothers always do, aud swiiiug at her treasure, fell asleep. Two hoars had passed by when she woke np again. The baby had not moved. Its legs and arms were cold and rigid, and the eyes were half open. It was dead. She lifted'the wee bit of clay and kissed it as though she would give it some of her own life. She colled it ho yeung, and her tears fell upon the wisps of golden hair. The sounds of her -grief came to the ears of her sleeping r lmsb;md. He . crawled to hi3 knees and made an obei sance before theffiirine.—The Joss sticks- had burned down to the wood and had gone out. .He jumped to his feet with a cry like an animal at the fatal shot, and began to tight new sticks. Then, for the first time, he saw the child was gone. He saw it in its mother’s arms. He snatched it from her and felt its cold cheek. Like a lamp of lead he went down on the bare floor with the baby still in his arms. When he straggled to his Teet like a man ui>on whom the yen yen is strong, his wife was gone—she had fled in terror. With a hatchet he chopped the shrine to bits and laid waste the furniture. The ones who hod been told this strange story by the German wife found him j n the room with the baby. After the funeral she went to Brooklyn. He .will go back to China, but will remember nothing. They call him the Idiot.— Fred A. Wilson, in New York Evening Sun. • ~ , TeUm»chm la tbe HetropolU.

The beehonse is'8 by 10 feet and 7 feet high in the clear. It is lined, and the 4-inch spaoe between the inner .and outer wadis is filled with dry sawdust.

The hives are placed two inches from the wall, and the openings of the chutes are covered with wirecloth. Keeping: Seed Corn. , The most important point in keeping seed corn is getting and keeping it dry. Onder ordinary conditions it will dry if o m suspended from the rafters of some aijy i building. The Farm Journal says: “One of our readers makes assurance doubly sure by banging his seed corn in the I p e called the baby. The Chinese society smokehouse and smoking it for several j would have helped him had he made days. If quite dry, seed corn may be | known his wants, but he scorned all who subjected to a very low temperature without injury: but if there is moisture about the germ—and tbe cob will con tain moisture when tbe outside of the ear is quite dry—a temperature not very- rare north of Mason ami Dixon’s line will injnre enough of the genus to make ths A**d unfit tot bmw m spoke the language.

In summer time, when it is hot, I nso nothing but bnrlap on top of the hives, and 1 have no bees hanging out—they stay in the hives.

I never lose any bees in my beehonse, as they can have a flight at any time during the winter, when it is warm enongh, or I can close them np at any time.
