A WeaseIs Sagacity.

The Santa Barbara (Cal.) Press relates
the following story of a weasel's sagacity.
A gentleman of this place has been greatly
annoyed by rats. OF late they have been
disappearing. While in his barn one
morning. the gentleman saw weasel bat
Ting with an enormous rat. The latter
proved too much for his adversary, and
finally chased his weaselship out of the
barn. A few mornings latter the gentle
man again found the same animals en-
gagged in similar battle. The weazel at
last ran away as before, and the rat fol-
lowed In hot pursuit. This time. how

burrowed through pile of hardened
compost. This hole was quite large at
the entrance. but the outlet was scarcely
large enough 10 admit the passage of the
weasel's body. The weasel darted into
the hole, with the rat ut his heels 4
moment later the weasel emerged from
the other side. ran quickly around the
compost pile, and again entered the hole,
this time in the enemy's rear. The gen.

that only the weasel came out. Digging
into the compost pile. he found the rat
quite dead and partly eaten. The weasel
had arranged his trap so that the rat could
enter. but. becoming closely wcdged in
the narrow portion of the hole. could be
attacked ut disadvantage and easily
killed.

A STORY ABOUT BEES AND BEE-TREEs
KH a HUNTER OF EXPERIENCE.

Il will soon be time for those who love
to make business Of hunting bee-trees to
start ont on their expeditions. Once this
kind Of business was quite lucrative. Bee
trees could be found after little work al
most anywhere in the woods. They are
usually well filled, and If man could
manage to discover one tree a week he
would consi3er himself earning good
wages. Now and then, while following a
trail or bee-line. two trees have been
traced out, but this is very rare 4 gen.
tleman last night. an old bee-hunter, told
= story how he once took some honey out
in the woods, warmed it on stones, then
lett 1t there az sort Of feeding place for
the bees, and a day or two afterward noted
the direction in which they went after
loading themselves, and by following them
some distance found there were two lines
Of bees running parallel to each other. In
about three hours he found one tree.

honey, In short time he took the other
line Tor the other tree. lie hunted and
hunted for long time without success.
Finally reaching a cliff Of rocks, while
trying 10 pick his way down. he aeciden-
tally slipped and slid TO the bottom. Some
what stunned he lay few minutes, and
looking up to see how FAR he had come. 10
and behold his experienced eye saw bees
going in and out of q hole in a tree within
few feet Of him. From those two trees
lie took eighty or ninety pounds Of honey.
with considerable quantity of beeswax,
and considered it one of the most success
fnl hunts he had ever had. Besides hon
ey, there Is used In bee-hunting strong
flavor Of young clover, as it is called. of
which the bees, seemingly, are fondcr
than honey itself The proper way TO
trace bees Is TO heat a stone, drop honey
on It, have the comb near by, and the
heated honey will Immediately draw the
bees, who will then find the comb and
proceed TO load themselves with it and re-
turn to their homes. II requires a sharp
eye TO follow the line, but the term a bee
line Is we'll known to be line straight as
an arrow. and all the bee hunter has to do
Is TO get the course Of the bee and follow
IL straight until he has reached the vicin-
ity Of the tree. as near as he can Judge.
after which he will try his honey again.
and so tell whether he has not yet reached
or gone by. Some hunters select good
lively bee. throw flour over him. and then
by noting the time il requires tor that bee
TO unload himself and return, get good
idea Of the distance. There are a number
Of old bee hunters living up town who can
reciie bec-tree yarns by the week.-From

They neither undervalus nor depre-

but refer simply to the merits of their
own products, which justify the claim
of equality with the best, az least.
This is great point and is worthy of
universal imitation.
They comprehend the Intelligence,

judgment of that pubhc with whom
they desire to communicate and n
