I'm a New York saloon, where some
patent mead is dispensed, beehive con-
tanning $4,000 bees, who so the sign says,
produce the honey from which the mead is
made, decorate the windows. The bees
are let out every morning for a short time
and are fed on molasses and sugar.
AT Atlanta, Ga, last autumn a negro
built coop six feet by seven, into which
he put dozen cartridges, the ground be-
ing first covered with grass. During the
winter they thrived, in the spring they
mated, laid eggs and Matched out several
broods of young, and the negro now has
about sixty young cartridges, all doing
we'll. They are tame, healthy and seem
to be contented.
The folly of counting chickens before
they are Matched is nowhere compared
with the credulity of the folks in Nash
vile. They have decided that year
from next spring they will have shad at
two cents per pound, and they base their
calculations on the fact that large num-
Der of young shad have been put in the
| Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers The
expectation is that the young fish will
seek the gulf by the Mississippi River,
and reappear in due course of time full
grown fish. 1t were contamination de-
| voutly to be fished.
"A Chinese proyerb says: "Woman's
tongue is sharper than two edged
sword;" and being furnished by Provi-
dence with such formidable weapon it IS
but natural that she should resort to it in
preference to any other, both for offensive
and defensive purposes. Still, instances
where members of the gentler sex emulate
and punch each others heads are neither
SO far nor so few between as angels visits.
But as a rule the tongue, supplemented in
extreme cases by the broom-handle or the
domestic poker, has been found sufficient
to decide the most serious family and

"A widow who went to Paris to edu-
cate her children deposited all her money
with Duncan, Sherman & Co., and took
their letters of credit. She had not $40 in
her possession when notice of their fail
ure was received, and there were rent and
school bills due. Her excitement and
alarm were so great that her friends appre-
hendcd insanity. There are many teach
ers, students and others in exactly the
same condition, and they are not only in
Paris, but all over the Continent. Atleast
! four Americans, who heard of the failure
before the news reached the Rothschilds'
agency, secured their money and retired
from Paris to avoid trouble One Of the
! four was visited by the cashier of the
agency, who demanded a return of the
| money, which was refused. A policeman
subsequently escorted the gentleman to the
American Embassy, where Minister Wash
burne told the cashier he could not make
an arrest. "YOu can only seize his bag
gage and advise you not to do that"
The cashier concluded he would wait,
apologized and departed.
| "A recent incident on the Ogdensburg
Road is thus described by the St. Adams
(Vt) Messenger: "a cage of tigers which
was on its way to mcnagerie now exhib-
iting south of here was placed in one end
of the car and zebra was tied in the
other end. The Waterman lay down on a
box and fell asleep; when he awoke he
discovered that one of the tigers had bent
the iron bars of its cage, forced its way
out, and was crouching in the opposite
corner. The regular keeper of the ami
mails was in the sleeping car, at the rear
end of the train, and there was no chance
to communicate with him or with anyone
outside. The poor Waterman was fright
ened into motionless silence, and in that
awful suspense he made the long and
weary journey to St. Adams. After the
train came to a halt here one of the train
men, in passing the car, saw large, cat.
like nose thrust out through an opening,
and not knowing that anyone's life was
endangered in the car, but fearing lest
the animal should escape, ran to the
sleeping-car and aroused the keeper, who
soon appeared, rawhide in hand, and
dashed the beast back into his den, to the
Unreasonable relief of the poor fellow
who had been curled up for hours on the
box"
