ORIGINAL A3 BEEKEEPER.
Davtil Norton, of 1 liiir.lleld, Conn., Tells
of III* l!ip«rlenoes.
One of the most, original beekeepers
In Connecticut is David Norton of
I'lainfield, says a coi respondent of th«
Hartford Courant. Mr. Norton is over
70 years old and is in the b->e business
with liis son. At a recent meeting of
the Connecticut beekeepers' associa-
tion, Mr. Norton spoke at length of his
bees and of his method of working
over them. In the summer this enthu-
siastic apiarist sits out among his bee-
hives under a large yellow umbrella,
nnd often naps there, lulled to sleep by
the humming, lie handles the beca
fearlessly, and is never stung by them.
This year the honey produced by hia
bees exceeded largely the amount o£
neighboring beekeepers. In his apiary,
he says, the bees enter each other's
hives indiscriminately if they find their
own hive crowded, and deposit the r
honey burdens, and they are like one
happy family. He observes none of the
usual precautions in regard to putting
a new queen in a hive—simply aft
the colony has been queenless awhile
he puts the new queen in, and the be< .1
never fail to give her a kind reception.
This is contrary to most apiarists' ex-
perience, as a new queen is usually
placed in a wire-screened little box
that is plugged with sugar. The bees-
observe th«ir new queen through tha
wire and thus become accustomed to
her; then they let out tlxe sugar plug
and free her and she walks quietly on
to the combs in the hive, if a new
queen, ordinarily, is put unprotected
into a colony of strange bees they kill
her. Mr. Norton approves of a very
large hive, so constructed that it can
be enlarged or contracted. In the heat
of the day the hives in this unique
apiary are sheltered under umbrellas.
In regard to moving hives of hees, Mr,
Norton says he experiences no incon-
venience from losing bees, as in most
eases where the bees return to the old
location; but he says his bees after
flying out immediately note the new
spot, and invariably return to it. A
suggestion offered by Ma Norton
whereby bees would always know theii
own hive, which he had tried experi-
mentally, was to- paint each hive a dif-
ferent color. The bees remembered the
color of their own hive easily, just as
they do the tints of the blossoms. Mr.
Norton thinks that the bees have be-
come so accustomed to himself and his
son that their working among them
does not in the least disturb them,
therefore these beekeepers can open a
hive and examine the combs at leisure
while the bees fly about and do not
get into an uproar. That there is a
great future for the beekeeper and
large profits in the bee business wherr
properly conducted, Mr. Norton does
Aot doubt, but says that his only re-
gret is that he did not begin at bee-
keeping earlier in life.—Chicago News*.
Behind the Scenes.
"It didn't seem to feaze our ne\
tragedian being pelted with eggo am
vegetables in the second act,'" remark-
ed the stage manager.
"Well, hardly," chuckled the man-
ager complacently. "I hired him be-
cause he used to stand against a plank
in a sideshow and have knives and
hatchets thrown all around him."
Toys for Poor Children.
The prefect of the Seine distributed
25,000 francs ($5,000) in the arrondis-
sements of Paris to buy toys for poor
children 011 Jan. 1. The sum was be-
queathed to M. Vincent, a friend oj
Victor Hugo, who made an annual dis-
tribution after the poet's death and
continued the benefaction in his will,
Hardy Germans.
The German empire has 778 centena-
rians, France 213, England 146, Scot-
land 40. Denmark has 2 only and
Switzerland umuo at all.
The "Alice linostivclt" Hose,
One of the popular roses of the sea-
son In Washington is the "Alice Roose-
velt," a delicately tinted flower with
heavy leaves, which was grown first
in the White House conservatory, and
: :r >d for the President's daughter.
HE CR TART?
Don't Say, "Uoth, if Ysu IMense"—
I.t-nrn to Distinguish.
"Do you know the difference between
a pie and a tart?" How often have
you heard this asked at a dinner ta-
ble when the conversation languishes,
and how fruitful of argument the ques-
tion invariably is! Half a dozen "cor-
rect" answers are given in as many
minutes. The fact is, the- point is not
capable of such an easy explanation as
might be supposed.
"A pie contains meat, a tart fruit,"
says some one. Quite so, but who
ever would deny the existence of ap-
ple pie? The famous Lord Dudley was
heard to remark at a sumptuous din-
ner given by Prince Esterhazy, "God
bless my soul! No apple pie."" And
he should certainly have known what
he was talking about, for this was his
favorite dish. Further, there exists a
volume (dated 1863) entitled "The
Compleat Cook," wherein are to be
found descriptions of how to make a
"partridge tart" and an "olive pye."
History may thus be said to veto the
"meat-and-fruit" theory. Mrs. Beeton,
by the way, who should be the su-
preme court of appeal in a matter of
this kind, ingloriously describes her
recipe as an "apple tart or pie." Next
comes an even more plausible explana-
tion. "A pie is closed; a tart is open";
thus pronounce by far the majority of
the oracles on this momentous sub-
ject. There is admittedly much to be
said in support of this argument. The
aforementioned Lord Dudley, who was
once questioned as to his correctness
in speaking of apple "pie," held to the
"closed-and-open" theory, while Lord
Alvanley's apricot "tart" was an up-
rooted structure, although sometimes
ornamented with a grille of cross-
pieces. But the word "pie" as any au-
thority will tell you, ia, in its origin,
an abbreviation of the word "pastry."
And we have yet to meet a self-respect-
ing tart whose basis was other than
(more or less indigestible) "pastry."
Wherefore any tart may be correctly
called a pie, though not every pie, as
we shall now demonstrate, can be de-
scribed as tart. The whole thing turns
on the origin of the word tart. The
French tourte gives the clue. It leada
us to the Latin torta—English "twist-
ed." A "pie" is that which is made
of pastry, whatever its form or con-
tents. A "tart" is that which is made
of pastry twisted. The merest twig-
gle of culinary art on the summit of
an otherwise unornamented pork pie
confers upon it the proud right to the
title of tart. On the other 1" nd, con-
ceive, if possible, a totally p'ain dish
of fruit supported on a slab of bald
farinaceous pastry, and, desp'te all
reconeeived ideas to the contrary, you
may unhesitatingly label it "pie."—
