After Wild Honey.

The senses Of the bees are very acute.
By the aid Of smell they find the sweet
est flowers, and thus the delicate clean
illness Of the hive is preserved. While
certain odOrs are very attractive to them.
others are excessively repugnant. This
fondness for certain perfumes is used by
bee-hunters in discovering the nests Of
wild bees. When wild bees are seen
lettering around, an upright stake, to the
upper end of which is attached small
horizontal platform, is planted some
where near; on this platform is placed a
bit of full comb, and in front of it is sus-
pended an open vial of annis, an odor
they particularly love. To expedite
matters, one of the strange bees is fire.
quently captured by inyerting over the
flower from which it is sucking a
small cylinder with glass over the
end. The bee flies up to the lighted
end; the lower part is covered by the
hand, and the cylinder placed over the
honey-comb on the platform. AS soon
as the cylinder is darkened, by putting
something over the top, the bee goes
down to the honey and fills his honey
sac. When fully gorged, it is released;
bee, with it's honey-sack filed, always
makes Decline " for the hive.
When the load Of stolen sweets is de-
posted, the little pilferer comes back
usually with companion-guided by
the scent of annis; both alight on the
platform, and are held in mild captivity
till they are filed. One is then re-
leased, the direction it takes is noted;
the stake is then carried to some dis
lance to the right or left of It's former
position, and the second bee released.
The point at which the two "bee-lines
cut each other is the position of the
nest.-Mgs. S. B. Hear5ck, IN Scribner

The DesOlafiOns of War.

War has made the once beautiful Vale
of Roses, and neighboring valleys south
of the Schipka pass, a desert filed with
horrors. A correspondent of the Lon
don Times writes: "All the way from
Schipka to Yeni Saghra, at which place
we took the rail, the air is polluted with
the remains of the killed. The bodies
of men, women and children are to be
met with in all stages of decomposition
at the roadsides, in cornfelds and gar
dens, on the banks of streams and in the
beds of rivulets. Some hundreds were
choking the shallow river within a quar-
ter of a mile from where we camped at
Yeni Saghra. Desolation and ruin APP
peared along the whole way. The re-
mains Of formerly prosperous villages,
which it was impossible to pitch tent
even near, ripping mountain streams in
which our horses refused to drink, the
bowling wolves around us at night.
brought down from the mountains earlier
than usual by the horrid feasts prepared
for them (the largest I have ever seen
lay dead, evidently recently shot by the
side of the road) not far from Yeni
Saghra, and, worse, the occasional
shrieks from human beings, followed by
solitary rife reports, which made one
shudder more than damp night air-all
these sights and sounds went to form
one great horrible phantasmagoria. which
none of us are hkelyto live long enough
to remember without pain. T"

Sow. MOrt0n'S First Attack of Paral.
VSiS.


1t was in the fall of 1865 that the late
Gov. Morton was first prestrated by the
insidious disease that finally proved
fatal
His attack is thus described by him
self: During the latter part of the
summer and first part of the fall of 1866,
[ felt an lndisposition to read or study
[ didn't care to read so much as a news
paper. My mind felt dull and clouded,
and | found many little things escaping
my memory. I was confused easily.
and took little orno interest in what was
going on about me. Even the duties of
the State no longer engaged my close at
tentlon. These feelings continued until
the 10th of October. I never shall for
get the day. 1t was o beautiful one; the
air was crisp, and [ walked very long
distance. In the evening I retired some
what fatigued, but in other respects APP
parently in my usual health. The next
morning woke early, but as I attempted
to get out of bed I discovered I was un-
able to lift my limbs. Again and again
[ made the effort, when it suddenly
flashed through my mind that I was paral-
yzed. I felt little pain, but from my
hips downward I was unable to move
myself. But the strangest part of the
story is to come. His mental activity
had returned. "My head seemed as
clear as a bell, and involuntarily I re-
called to mind incidents which I had for
gotten, although previously I had
charged my memory with them" So
sudden and complete was the work of
this subtle disease for five years the
powers of his mind and body had been
taxed to their utmost, and it is not
strange, perhaps, that a person of his
build should be thus attacked. It is said
that his father suffered as a paralytic in
his later years, and that an aunt was
stricken. Tt is probable, there
fore, that the disease was latent, but in
considering the powerful, muscular
frame which he inherited from his
mother, whom he greatly favors, it is
doubtful if he would ever have been
FRUSTRATED had his labors been less severe
and protracted.

The Deacon Answered.

" Up in New Hampshire, where I
lived when boy" says Coy. Noyes,
" there was an old deacon who was q
great deal more pious than honest. He
was an old hypocrite, and when he had
done any particularly mean thing, he
eased his conscience by going out into a
field alongside of which was stone-wall,
and, kneeling beside it, praying the
Lord to topple it over on him if he had
done anything offensive to Him or Of
fensive in His sight. Well, we boys
found it out, and one day when we saw
the Deacon making for the wall we got
on the other side and waited. He knelt
down, according to his usual custom, and
went through his usual formula, closing
with the petition to have the wall topple
over if he had done anything wrong
And we toppled it. Jumping out from
under the stones the old man cried in
tones of mingled disgust and alarm,
Good gracious Can't you tell when a
man is iOkino p"

A FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
Two Sisters Horribly 1Tangled in Mill.

Two Sisters Horribly HIangled in Mill.
[From the Jessamine (Ky.] Journal.l
Never have we been called upon to
chronicle more heartrending accident,
nor one which has enlisted more
general and genuine sympathy with
the afflicted family than that which
occurred at Union Mills on last Friday
afternoon. Misses Blackford, Misses
Bourne and Charley Bourne composed
party at Mr. Claiborne Rutherford's
on that day. In the morning some of
the party attended the protracted meet
ing in progress at East Hickman, but
they all met at the dinner table, when
one of the young ladies proposed to go
to the Touring mill, stating that she had
never yet seen one working. Conse-
quently the party named above, with
Miss Julia and Miss Annie Rutherford,
went down to Steele & Bronaugh's mill,
and Captain Steele, with his usual urban
ity, was showing them around. They
had been looking at the boiling cloths,
and passed over some ship stuff Miss
Annie Rutherford shook her skirt to rid
it of the dust which had adhered to it,
when it caught in inter cog-wheel,
about one foot from the floor, which drew
it into the machinery, and there was a
similar wheel about three feet higher, in
which her left arm was taken clean off,
together with the flesh and bone off her
breast. Clinging to the shaft, her skirt
fastin the bottom wheels, she was whirled
round at the rate of thirty-four revolu-
tons per minute.
Frantic with excitement Miss Julia
Rutherford rushed to her sisters assist
ance. Charlie Bourne did his best to
keep her from the danger she was ex-
posing herselfto, and was at the same time
doing his utmost to extricate Annie, but
Julia persisted that she could not stand
to see her sister in such q place, and, put
ting her arms around her, she had her
right arm cut off by the same wheel.
Annies clothes were SO twisted that it
was impossible to pull her away until
the engine was stopped by Captain
Steele, which took about one minute to
do, and Mr.. Samuel Gosney, perceiving
there was something wrong, Immediately
lowered the stones. The scene now
baff1ed description. There were the
cogs filed with flesh and bones. An
arm lying on the floor, the glove still on
the hand, two lovely girls Frustrated in
their blood, and Charlie Bourne with his
left thumb cut off, from which he has
suffered intensely and was threatened
with lockjaw, but he is now probably
out of danger. Mr.. James Bronaugh,
Jr., took Julia home in buggy, and Mr..
Steele fixed Annie on board and pre-
sented her to her distressed parents
Thus the company who, a few minutes
before, were happy and joyous, were
plunged into inexpressible grief by
shocking and deplorable accident. Drs.
Jaeger, WEIGH and Skillman have been
indefatigable in their attendance on the
sufferers, and at last accounts they were
improving.
Miss Annie did not rally from the eff
fects of the shock for forty-eight hours,
but since reaction has taken place fully
she bids as fair to recover as Miss Julia,
whose arm was amputated on Saturday.

lie had attempted to walk out TO tbe
home during the storm of Sunday night
and had fallen off the embankment ~,
the rocks below. Deceased was a oradn-
ate Of Yale College, and had formerly
held a prominent place in the home Of
Augusta, Me.
The other day the brewery of Get
tlemann & Co., near Milwaukee, was
partially destroyed by fire, which orig
mated in the malt-house. Steamers
were sent from the city, and saved
large ice-house and the residence of
Mr.. Sweigert. Losses are estimated at
$50, 900, Of which $15, 900 are covered by
insurance in home companies. Twenty
thousand bushels of barley were ruined.
The beer was partially saved, but that
IN the vaults is probably injured by
heating.
"A serious accident occurred at Mr.
Bullock's, about two miles north of Mid
dleton recently. George Bullock, boy
about 10 years of age, and an other boy
were playing in barn, and in some
manner were taking down a shotgun
which proved to be loaded, which went
off, the charge hitting young Bullock in
the forehead, the ball passing through
the brain and coming out at the back of
his head. Medical aid was instantly
summoned, but death ensued in short
time. He was the only remaining son
of large family.
There was considerable excitement
at Oshkosh one night last week. by
three fires in different parts of the city
almost simultaneously. the burning of
dwelling-house near the city limits
drew the engines in that direction, when
a fire broke out in Mr.. r. J. Weis.
brode's furniture and undertaking es-
tablishment, Main street, a three-story
brick building contents totally de-
stroyed. The fire communicated to
Weston's building next, causing damage
to the grocery stock of Holmes & Van
doren, and the clothing stock of William
Lizard. While this fire was raging, a
third fire broke out in a row of wooden
buildings up Main street, next to the
Methodist Church block, demoishing
Bowen's shoe store James Coles furni-
ture and secondhand store, saw-filing
shop, and clearinghouse. By the
prompt action of the fremen in trans
ferring the hose and steamers from the
first fires, the Methodist Church block on
one side and the Phoenix steam fre-en-
CINE house on the other were saved. The
last two fires were the work of an in
cendiary. The principal losses are as
follows: R. J. Weisbrode, $4,000; in
surance, $4,000; Holmes & Vandoren,
damage, 81, 600; insured fully; James
Cole, $4,000; insured for So, 900. The
other losses ranged from 5000 to $500
each, mostly insured. R. B. Ferris
loss is 81, 800 insurance, 81, 200.

The POstOffCe Estimates,

Third Assistant Postmaster General
Hazen has completed the estimates of
appropriations required for his office
during the next fiscal year. They aggre-
gate 1906, 900 against 81, $50, 900 appro-
priated for the present fiscal year, being
a decrease of $246, 600, although there
will be an estimated increase of 10 per
cent. in the issue of adhesive stamps,
IL per cent. in the issue of envel-
opes, and 20 per cent. in the issue
of postal cards. This favorable show
ing has sbeen rendered possible by adj
vantageous contracts for the manufacture
of postage stamps and postal cards.
The principal items of the estimates are
1856, 900 for stamps, $4,000 for postal
cards, and $547, 900 for stamped envel-
opes. These estimates, with those for
the otherIbranches of the department al
ready published, make a total of $780,
427, I'll, as the amount required to de-
fray all expenses of the postal service
during the next fiscal year. OF this
amount the department. estimates it can
provide from it's own revenues the sum
Of 1929, 036, 098.28. This latter amount
will come from the following sources:
Ordinary revenue (sale of stamps, etc. J,
$27, 1893, 098.28; money-order receipts,
$4,000 official postage, 81, 036, 900,
leaving deficiency in the revenues of
the Postofice Department to be provid-
ed for OUT of the general treasury of
81, 1893, 672.72 In the event Of Congress
abolishing official postage stamps, the
sum above estimated as one source OF
revenue will necessarily have to be
omitted, and the deficiency appropria-
ton increased by that amount.

By the arrival at San Francisco of the
last steamer fron Yokohama we get the
following news from Japan:
" Peace is completely restored at the
South, and the troops are returning
home. The Prince Arionyana, Com
mander-in-C Chief, reached Toxic, Oct. s,
accompanied by leading Generals and
Admirals, and was received with high
honors. A policy of Cancellation and
forbearance was proclaimed, and severe
punishments only for those whose crimes
were other than political. Thus, Ava
ma, the former Governor of KagOshima,
was executed for betraying his trust and
converting public moneys to rebel use,
and others for participation in wanton
massacres. Those who merely fought
in insurrection under misleading guild
ance were to be leniently dealt with.
Saigo's body and head were found, but
under circumstances which still leave
doubt as to the exact position which was
held by him in the rebel movement It
is probable cow that it will never be
known to what extent he is responsible
for the outbreak, or whether he insti-
gated it at all. His active participation
at the end, however, is placed beyond
doubt.
''The imperial infant Prince received
the name Of Yuki Hato, with the GUS
tomary ceremonies, Sept. 90. He will
be popularity known as Take-No-Miva.

Japan occurred Oct. 6. By the coils

CARLYLE on Job.

I call the Book Of Job, apart from all
theories about it, one of the grandest
things ever written with a pen. One
feels, indeed, as if it were not Hebrew
such noble universally, different from
noble patriotism or sectarianisrn, reigns
in it, A noble book All mems book
It is our first, Oldest statement of the
never ending problem, mans destiny,
and Gods ways with him here on this
earth. And all in such free, flowing out
lines grand in its simplicity, and it's
epic melody, and repose of reconcile
ment. There is the seeing eye, the
mildly understanding heart. So true
every way; true eye-sight, and vision for
all things, material things no less than
spiritual; the horse" hast thou clothed
his neck with thunder ?"-he laughs at
the shaking of the spear Such living
ikenesses were never since drawn. Sub
lime sorrow, sublime reconciliation; old
est choral melody as of the heart of man
kind; SO soft and great; as the summer
night, as the world with it's seas and
stars There is nothing written, I
think, in the Bible or out OF it, of equal
literary merit.

Improved Thief and Robber Tran.

The object of this invention is to pro-
vide for use in banks, stores, etc., a thief
or robber trap, so constructed that it
may be tripped by the cashier, proprie-
tor, clerk, or other person stationed be-
hind the counter, or in any other con-
venient place, and thereby preeil itate
the thief or burglar into the collar or
apartment below The fitting sections
constitute that part Of a banking room
which is In front Of the counter. On re-
moving the support of levers from the tilt
ing sections they will tilt and precipitate
anyone standing thereon into the cellar

CleOpatra,s Needle Held in Pawn.

It appears that the sea-going obelisk,
abandoned off Finisterre, was not towed
into an English harbor, sss was once pre-
sumed. 1t has found anchorage in the
port of Ferreol, and Spanish court of
maritime law must now determine the
amount Of salvage due thereon. The
question of salvage is a serious one for
the contractors. They have offered to
settle with the crew of the saving craft,
bat their offer is rejected with scorn.
The amount of salvage is largely deter
mined by the value of the rescued prop
erty. We must first decide what Cleo
patra's Needle is worth. The adjudica-
ZION of all other questions is easy
enough. AS obelisks have no market
value, or are quoted at fancy prices, the
settlement is surrounded with numerous
embarrassments. Consequently, the
obelisk of Thothmes Ill will pass the
winterin an admiralty court at Ferreol. -
