Queens may be reared in late exmmer and autunm by making queenless a hive that has the necessary young brood and okgs to produce queens. Drones may be in queenless colonies. Bees are a hard stock to fence, but rarely fuil to come home,. A grapevine trained to a trellis on the south side makes a good protection. It has never been definitely determined just how far bees will fly for honey, There nre three classes of worker bees in a colonyâ€"nurse bee, wax workers and honey mll?mrvrs. The life of bees during the working seaâ€" son is brief, and it requires n good laying queen to keep up the force in the hive.

When 1 was reading about the young fellows who did the long distance rupning in those Olympian games in Greece some years ago, it struck me that any one of Daye Kalaâ€" knua‘s ruoners could have made the whole bunch look like alumiaium dolâ€" inrs. " "The Kanaka headed the bunch a mile beyond the Half Way House, and it was a big romp for him the rest of the distance. He took a position for the remaining 17 miles of the Journey about a city block ahead of the writh ing and panting horses, and he jJust stuck to his lope like a man wound up. Me never let ‘em get nemrer than a block to him for the remaining three hours of the trip, looking back at them with a grin once in awhile. When only three miles yet remained before the Volcano House was to be reached, the Kanaka took mnother drink out of a spring and began to draw away. ~The Kanaka riders whipped and spurred their horses, but it was no good. The ‘ Kanaka runner disappeared out of their sight on the tortuous trail, and when six of the cayises pulled up at the botel veranda about threeâ€"quarters of an bour later the runner was sitting on the steps, fanuing bimsclf and drinking sakl. Two of the horses had dropped dead in their finnj effort. I used to be continually tired, now 1 Among the Phoeniciana, in ancient "Kalakaua didn‘t ask for any handiâ€" cap allowance for his man. The runâ€" mer toed the scratch with the horses, and they got off together at the erack of the gun. The horses distanced the ruuner from the jump, and he let them distance him. He was dressed in a G string, and he just took up a steady lope and let the cayuses get out of his sight. For ten miles theâ€"cayuses were so far above him on the trail that he couldn‘t even see them, but this Kanaâ€" ka knew bow to wait. The horses be gan to come back to the runner long before the Half Way House was reachâ€" ed, and the Kanaka was just galloping along at the beginning of the third lour with the same bigstride he hbad started In with, his arms up and shoot ing out in frout of him like soldiers on the double time drill. There wasn‘t a pant in him when be fetched up at the Half Way House. le stooped down there to a spring beside the road and took a couple meuthfuls of water. The cayuses were up ahend a bit, blowing their heads off, for they had been g£oâ€" ing at a clip that they bad never been pushed to before. "Now, 1 understand that that road from Hilo up to the burning lake of Kilauea has been improved since the time Em speaking of, but it surely was a bad trail then. It was only wide enough for one wagon, anud it was about & 45 degree aifair in the climb all the way up. The palins that lined the road used to get blown ancross the trail by the score in big windstorms, and the coach drivers counted it a part of their business to juimp from their seats every time they came to these obstructions and shoulder them out of the way. Mhis work had all been attended to carefully, however, 1 adâ€" vance of the race by order of Kailn kaua, and it loked like a pipe for the cayuses, all of which bad made the run up many a time. "‘The king picked out a buge, lithe, sinewy Kanaka, a man about 30 years old, who had been employed as a runâ€" ner on the island of Maul for a numâ€" ber of years, to try the trick for him. Eight Kanakas | made the â€" start aâ€"horseback, on native ponies, bred away back from western cayusesâ€" strong, sure footed, nippy tempored litâ€" tle demons, thoroughly used to the bad roads and the climbing. The king ard his party had gore up to the Volcano Iouse, at the top of Kilauea, in coachâ€" es the day before to be on hand to greet the winner. ? mile steepiechase for man and beast?" inquired oze of the Califoraia men in & party of turf followers when stories of queer bets and long shots were goâ€" ing around. "\Well, there was an afâ€" fair of that kind down in the Hawai lan bunch in the fail of 1883, when ‘ that genial chile concarne proposition, EKalaksas, was king of the islands. There were no telephones joining the islands then, and state messages and mandates were carried by the interâ€" island steamers and delivered by Kaâ€" uaka ruuners. ‘These ruuuers cou‘d gallop all day, like American Indians in retreat or on the trail, and they didn‘t know what getting winded or t%meflut. "Kalakaua thougbt a good deal of . these runners of his. He always mainâ€" tained that they could go fuster and farther than horses over the rough Hawailan country. 1:, this be was disâ€" puted by a sumber of the white atâ€" taches of his court. Kalakani wagerâ€" ed $5,000 in gobs of $1,000 with tive of them that he woul« pick out a runper from amoug bis Kavakas who‘d get from Illilo to the top of the burniug lake of Kilauen, a distance of 35 miles, quicker than any borse and any rider could do the t~p. ‘They suapped the king up at even money. It looked as If they bad the good end of it The king and a big party from Honolulu salled in one of the interisfand steamâ€" ers to Hilo, on tim main island of Haâ€" wail, to see the finish. + f it Was a Terrikc Test of Endurance, and the Sturdy Subject of Kalakaua Woen Enasily, Though Two of the MHorses Dropped Dead.
