A Cats Experience with Bees.

tFIAlIllA tr'tFsJ IsuLel pltatsI
Charles Kaiser, who has the only hiTe
of bees in town, says that when he first
got his colony, his old CATS curiosity
was much excited in regard to the do
-ings of the little insects, the like of
which she had never before seen. At
first she watched their comings and 60
ings from distance. She then flattened
herself upon the ground and crept along
toward the hive, with tail horizontal
and quivering. 1t was clearly evident
that She thought the bees were some
new kind of game. Finally, she took up
a position at the entrance to the hive,
and when bee came in or started out,
made dab at it with her paws. This
went on for a time without attracting
the attention Of the inhabitants of the
hive
Presently, however, old Tabby struck
and crushed bee on the edge of the
opening of the hive. The smell Of the
crushed bee alarmed and enragedi the
whole colony. Bees by the score poured
forth and darted into the fur Of the
astonished cat. Tabby rolled in the
grass, splitting, spluttering, biting, claT-
AllA aAlto HI llfAAAlAl do a OEso 1tNNGA p uAA u
before. She appeared mere ball Of far
and bees. She was at length hauled
away from the hive with garden rake,
at a cost of several stings to her rescudr.
Even after she had been taken to q dis
tant part of the grounds the bees stuck
to Tabby's fur, and about once In two
minutes she would utter an unearthly
"yowl,p and bounce a full yard into the
air. Two or three days after the adyen-
ture Tabby was caught by her owner,
who took her by the neck and threw her
down by the bee-hiye. No sooner did
she strike the ground than she gave a
squaIl, and at a single bound reached
the top of the fence, full six feet in
height. There she elung for a moment,
with tail as big as a rolling pins when,
with another bound and squat, she was
out of sight and did not again put in an
appearance for more than week.

How toWrite Greenback Editorial.


The editor of the Troy (Kan.)
Chief, a Republican paper, thinks he
could run a Greenback journal. Hear
him:
The easiest thing in the world is to
write an average Greenback editori-
al. 1t doesn't require any sense or
argument. Ali that is needed is as.
scrtion and rant. Sling these togeth-
err, with plenty of exclamation and
interrogation points and liberal use
of capital letters, in style of para
graphs and sentences originated by
George Lippard, in literature, and in,
troduced by Brick Pomeroy into 2olit-
ical writing, and you have the whole
thing. We can write Greenback.
Just see.

ED. REPUBLICAN: -
The past woek has
been crowded with work and play. The
evenings afforded well selected line
of amusements, amateur and profess
ional, while on Capitol hill our Solons
daily toiled in the interests Of this
great Commonwealth. The State Tenn
perance Convention was we'll atten-
ded. They held mass meetings in the
Senate Chamber Monday evening, and
il the House of Representatives Tues
day afternoon and evening. Able and
stirring addresses we're made, and the
friends Of local option feel hopeful
about passing the local option law.
Many petitions numerously signed
are pouring in favoring its passage.
In the House, the bill abolishing
Jury commissioners passed second
reading Feb. 9th. 1t abOlishes the
Office and provides for the perform
ance of the duties by the Sheriff and
County Commissioners.
The Columbia Dam question is
finally settled. Friday the Agricultur-
al committee reported it with a neg
ative recommendation AS it will
take 1O1 votes to put it on the calen-
dar, we will probably hear no more of
it this session. The bill provides for
the removal of the Columbia dam. and
an appropriation of $SOO.OOO therefor.
The ostensible object was to allow
the shad, on their .habitual annual
trip from the ocean in search Of fresh
water streams in which TO spawn, to
come up the Susquehanna and supply
the inhabitants along the route with
fine fresh fish; The real object was tc
create an extensive job of removing
dam about Ii miles in length across
the Susquehanna at Columbia. As th'

would necessitate the purchase OF TIT

coal shute of the company for whlcl
nothing was provided. Then, unles
the canal were abandoned anothe
dam must be built three miles abov
to enable the canal boats to cross tn
river, and the query arose how the lis
would get over the second dam an
better than the first. 1t was though
to be but the entering wedge for I'll
expenditure of a large amount
public money, and the nembe
broathed easier when the bill WI
negatived.

AN INTERESTING PUZzLE.-Perbaps some
Of our readers are not familiar with the fol-
lowing puzzle : A young man asked an old
man for his daughter in marriage. The an
swer was SEQ into the orchard and bring in
a parcel of apples. Give me one-half of the
whole number, and the mother one-half the
balance and one half an apple over, and the
daughter half of the remainder aud half
an apple over and have one left for yourself,
without cutting the apple, and then if she is
willing you can have her." He solved the
question, and how many did he bring? Four
teen, as you may easily prove. The old man
had half which was seven The old wo-
man was to have one-half of the balance,
which would be three and half, and half an
apple over, which would make four apples for
her. There would be three apples left, of
which the daughter was to have one-half and
half an apple over, which would give her two,
and leave the lover his one, without cutting
the apple"
