There's business which ought to be
suppressed" remarked an eminent
professor of chemistry to a reporter, as
the couple passed stand where lem
onade" was being dispensed from an
ice-cooler which had evidently seen its
best days.
"Why so?" asked the scribe.
Lemonade" replied the professor
in his most impressive manner, even
when made from lemons, in q tin yes
sci with soldered joints, or in galvan-
lied iron vessel, will take up the lead
from the one or the zinc from the
other. A salt is then formed which is
very unwholesome, and when taken
continually or in large quantities is alb
solutely poisonous. This injurious &C
ton is considerably increased if citric
and tartaric acids are used instead Of
lemons in making the, lemonade.
Consequently, the use of such vessels
for lemonade should be avoided, es-
peciallv if the contents are allowed to
stand for any length of time. An
overdose of any of these acids is bad,
and they are worse when taken in the
form OF lemonade. Nothing would be
likely TO give you the cholera quicker
than a SUI ccession of those drinks. -

Honey Dew in Georgia.
Columbus (Ga.) Times

Mr.. John Kee, of Talbot County is
responsible tor the following: "It was
early Sunday morning. My daughter
was engaged in sweeping off the front
porch, when her attention was attract
ed by the plaintive cries of young
chickens and the distressed clucking of
hen. The sound came from pile OF
leaves under some poplar trees in the
yard, and hurrying to the spot she
found the little chicks all stuck up with
leaves, rolling about struggling to free
themselves, and two of the little suffer
ers were stuck together. She picked
these two up, and coming to the house
called me. On examination we found
them covered with a sticky substance,
which seem to have come off the leaves.
| went out into the yard and found it
on all the leaves, and, tasting, was sur
prised to find it honey. Looking around
| could see it glistening in the sunshine
like diamonds on every leafiet, and on
the porch for two or three feet were
splotches of it. Several neighbors
dropped in during the day whom |
told OF the honey shower, supposiDg il
had been general, but they were in
credulous until shown evidences of it.
In the evening of the same day
| noticed mist between me
and the sun, and a closer examination
disclosed the fact that we were having
a repetition of tn phenomenon, which
was witnessed by a dozen people
While it did not run off the house
either morning or evening, it covered
the leaves of the trees and shrubs, and
was, without doubt, honey dew, and
that, too, from a cloudless sky.

PATCHES OF RED SNOW.
A curious summer sight i'm the Holy
Cross Region. Colorado

Prospectors returning from the Holy
Cross country, and especially from the
head of Cross Greek, report that the
ground is covered with red snow. In
the almost inaccessible defiles of Mount
Shasta, in California, is the only other
known place in the United States
where it is seen. In Polar regions it
is familiar sight, and no extensive
traveller there returns without de-
scription of it. The broad fields of
everlasting snow that flank the north
ern coast of Greenland are faxed with
the strange blood red, and further to-
ward the poles miles of it stretch as far
as the eye can reach. The phenomena
is due to the presence of a minute red
anamalcule in the snow. A microscope
detects its presence, but how it got there
is a difficult question and one that has
never been quite satisfactorily answer
ed The snow in this region is first
seen at the head of Cross Creek, where
it may be observed in patches of in
| tense carmine, yaryin: In area from as
large as a mans hat to twenty feet in
diameter. Taken in the hand and
examined, nothing can be detected that
gives it its color, and it melts into clear
red water, leaving no stain. Further
on, in some of the steep gulches with
which the country abounds, the bot
toms are entirely covered with the
strange substance. In some places the
color is vivid in the extreme, while in
others it fades to faint pink, produc-
ing an effect not readily described in
words. Old prospectors, who pene-
trated this region two years ago, say
that there was no snow of this descrip-
ton there, and its fall can scarcely have
antedated this year. Still higher, and
at the very foot of the mountain, the
red snow disappears and nothing save
the pure white coverlet greets the eye.
How the tiny insects that sent the Boreal
can find their way to the inaccessible
Holy Cross, is thing beyond human
kin and will be problem for the
scientists of the flture to pOnder over.

A Swarm of Bees in the Strand.

Seated quietly at wrltlng-table IN
the office of the Field on Tuesday af-
ternoon, / was presented with the card
of well-known zoologist, who wished
to see me Immediately. He had kind
ly come in to inform me that there was
a swarm of bees in the street. On go
ing OFT / found two swarms-one of
bees, the other of boys and miscellan-
eous personages, that assemble so rap.
idly when any thing unusual is to be
seen in the streets of London. The
bees We're then settling over the VIM
dows Of the office of the Alnty and Ma
~ Gazette, Wellington street, close to
the Gaiety Theater. The crowd gath
cred rapidly, and the street was becom-
ing impossible. Policemen appeared
on the scene, but failed in their duty,
and showed no inclination to remove
the cause of the obstruction. The
stage manager of Gaiety made a gal
liant sortie from the stage door of the
theater, and in pathetic tones implored
me to remove these unwelcome visit
ors, which were within a few feet ofthe
entrance. sFor, if you don't, shall
never be able to get the ladies on to
the stage" The situation was critical;
the street-boys began to pelt the settled
swarm; one idiotic car-man was going
to cut at the bees with his whip, which
would probably have brought them on
the heads of the people, and as they
might have stung, not only the persons
in the crowd, but also the horses, and
caused serious accidents, | felt as
though it was desirable to remove
them. Asking the police to prevent
further molestation, while l obtained
materials, l sent for a ladder, obtained
cylindrical American cheese-box. a
cloth, and a short banister broom. The
ladder being placed against the wall, l

with the cloth. then placed the hive ON
the balcony, and had the pleasure OF
seeing the outlying, or rather outlying,

their queen Victoria. / do not suppose
swarm Of bees was ever hived in the
presence of such distinguished group
of spectators. No street Snowman ever
had such an audience.-L0ndOn Field.

Only a Joke.

A tailor not far from Petticoat lane
got hold of a red-hot idea the other
day. He heated up his goose to the
bhstering point and placed it on a
bench at his door with sign reading,
"Onlv sixpence." In few minutes
along came an ancient-looking Isralite,
with an eye out for bargains, and, as
he saw the goose and read the sign, he
made up his mind that he struck it
rich. He naturally reached out to
heft his bargain, and that was where
he gave himself away. The tailor al
most fell down with his merriment,
but it did not last over sixty seconds.
AT the end of that time the victim en-
tered the shop and began sort of
gymnastic performance which did not
end until the tailor was a sadly mashed
man and his shop in the greatest con-
fusion. The two were fighting in front
when an officer came along ana nabbed
both, and both were brought before his
honor together. The tailor appeared
with black eye and finger tied up
in red rag, and the Israelite had a
scratched nose and was minus two
front teeth.
"Well?' queried the court as the pair
stood gazing at him.
"Vhell, | shall speak first" replied
the tailor, 81 like to have a shoke

"Yaw-it vhas only a shoke."

'Were you very tickled ?' he queried
of the tailor
"Vhell l was tickled until he pitch

"You were the only one who had any

"Vhell, 'spose so"

Tie Alaska Natives.

Commander Henry Glass, command
ing the United States steamer James
town, at Sitka, Alaska, has forwarded
to the Navy Department at Washing
ton the long and interesting report up
on the condition and affairs in that ter
ritory. He says: "Indians are every
where quiet. An industrial school for
boys has been established at Sitka, I'M
der the auspices of the Presbyterian
Board of Missions of New York. TWEEN
ty Indian boys, selected for their intell-
igence and good conduct, are in attend
ance. The number will be increased
from time to time by boys from other
tribes in Alaska. 1t is intended to teach
the boys trades, that they may in turn
become teachers in the different
tribes" Lieutenant Glass says: "The
establishment of this school in 4Sitka,
where Indians can be taught trades and
at the same time receive instruct
ion in English branches, will, in my
opinion, be of more service TO the tribes
at large than if even greater number
of boys were sent out of the territory
for the same instruction, as here their
improvement from day to day will be
seen and appreciated by those older
than themselves, and will more imme-
diately affect the habits and customs !
the Indians" Commander Glass fined
and imprisoned one of the Indian
chiefs, to stop, if possible, the burning
of Indians denounced as witches, and
prevented what might have been pro
tracted feud between two tribes.

THE SPIDER AND THE Fly.
The Heal which a spider Made While
Impaled ON Pen.

From Truthful Washington Correspondent.
"Guiteau is cold-blooded devil"
| said man who had seen something
of him since his confinement to- day.
HE is not hot-blooded, impetuous,
impulsive maniac. He is cool and cal
culating. He rejoices in the affiiction
of others, is intensely selfish and
egotistical and cares nothing for the
pain and sorrow Of the world so that
he does not share in them" This is
borne out by an incident related by the
district attorney, who had another four
hours talk with the assassin to-day.
Said he: As / was writing down the
words flowing from his lips he suddenly
grasped a pen as though it were dag
ger and, brandishing it in the air, he
brought it down just in front of my
nose. / was startled | thought he
intended to stab me in the face and
jumped back suddenly Then | saw
that he had no intention ofhurting me.
He had speared on .the point of the
pen spider, who had spun a web
around little fly | said: What are
you doing? He said: i saw the spider
entangling the fly and | wanted to
watch him eat it up. So he held them
up before his face till the spider COM
menced tie eat the fly. Then said:
1T win take him twenty minutes to
swallow it; have no time to wait for
you. Put it down and go on with your
story. Very reluctantly he put it down
on the floor by his feet. He never lifted
his eyes from the net until the fly had
disappeared down the spiders throat
and the spider had bobbed up serenely.
He fairly gloated over the little tradge-
dy. There is something miasmatic about
the wretch" he ran on. "He is SO
sanguinary, so low-toned, so deoased
in his nature that he has facilitating
effect upon you. have been with him
four hours and half to-day. Before |

sociation with him. Were to be shut

out of committing crime as heinous
as that attempted by him.

The American railway system Is ac-
knowledged in the ascendant by the
English press. Appropos of the late
murder on the Brighton line the Lon
don Standard says: The murder of Mr..
Gould will again arouse the controversy
between passengers and guard which
the murder of Mr.. Briggs, in 1864 first
started. The bell and telegraph cord
are ali but useless, A determined rob
Der or murderer will take care that
these Interruptions to his task are not
available before he begins work. AT pre-
sent they are merely put in requisition
by nervous women and timid men. In
express trains, which often do not stop
more than once in an hour or an hour
and a half, ruffan, rogue, fool or mad
man may safely murder, rob, drug, as
sault, or insult before the guard could
make his appearance. The American
system of gangway throughout the
whole length of the train, or the Conti-
mental plan of an outside platform,
along which the conductor is always
passing examining tickets, are obnox-
ious TO Briton's taste for privacy. But
murders like those of Mr.. Briggs and
Mr. Gould, and outrages less vile,
which must be still fresh in the public
memory, will, in time, reconcile us to
some sacrifice of seclusion in return for
reasonable safety during a railway jour
ney.

In meeting eyes Of two that now are one,
Impatient II the tears that rise to mine,

There dawns a look upon some stranger face;
I think " How like and yet how far less fair
And look and look again to seek to trace
A moment more your fancied likeness there

As wise it were what time June roses blow,
To weep because the first blue violet
We found in spring has faded long ago

By flower scent, by some sad s)ets rhymes
Ny heart, that fain would be at peace, is stirred
Am | to blame that still sigh sometimes
Sometimes
And sometimes know pang Of Jealous pain
That, while | walk all lonely other eyes
May happy smile to yours that smile again
Beneath the sun and stars Of southern skies

Who will not grieve, yet cannot quite forget
Still send a thought to you and wish you well

When every cloud Is swept from azure skies
And frozen pool and lighted hearth are gay
With laughing lips and vet more laughing eyes,
