There were Jews, Levites and Syrians
assembled in front of No. 13O West Twen-
ty-fourth street long before o'clock last
evening in answer to the call for the as
sembly of the "rabble'' to assist in Salmi
Morse's Passion Play. There we're some
500 good-looking young and middle aged
men, quite different from the ordinary
supers, anxious to take part in tho pro-
posed performance. There is to
be no no captain of supernumera-
ries in the coming show, but
Stage Manager Graves marshaled his
forces much as an adjutant would form
the line of = regiment, and when he had
them in good shape he selected forty guards,
who were to do duty in every scene, those
who were to be Jews and Levites in the first
act, and, those who were to be Syrians in
the last act. Then he harangued them.
Gentlemen" he said, ''we will pay you
each 81 week for six performances and a
Saturday matinee. Those who do not ap-
pear at the matinees will receive So week.
You will have no captain, and we do not
look upon you as supers. We intend to
treat you as gentlemen, and expect that
you will act as such. Those who are not
satisfied with this arrangement will pl ease
retire now.'
Four or five young men cast a side
glance at the Ark of the Covenant that
stands in corner of the room, and drifted
out into the cold night air. Meantime

gentleman tells the Washington Go-
sette of his experience in taking Northern
honey bees into the South. He took a
colony down to Florida. The first year
they worked the season through as indus
triously as they ever could at the North.
But the second year few of the more re-
hectlve bees evidently turned the thing
over in their minds thus: "This country
has no winter to provide against; what is
the use of laying up honey where the flow
ers blossom all the year round ?'
These bees exerted enough influence among
their friends to keep a good many bees
from laying by any sweet merchan-
disc the second year of their exile. But the
prudential instinct so strong in the little
insect, prevailed with the majority They
evidently said to themselves: "Perhaps
this has been an exceptional year. Next
season may bring cold and snow and
dearth of flowers" So there was quite
stock of honey laid by on the second year
IN spite of few strikers. But by the
third year the conviction had evidently
thoroughly penetrated the bee mind that
it was foolish to lay up in land of etern-
al blossom. They made just enough to
last from day to day, abandoned themselves
to living from hand to mouth as recklessly
as does any tropic born butterfly. This is
very readable story. Wonder if it is
true!

with the earnings: :

In the four months first named the roads
transported eastward 1,OO6.SO4 tons of
freight, and in the other four months
1,Os5,97S tons, larger quantity. But in
the first four months the earnings were
1926, ,791, and in the second series of
months $2,41O,916. If we assume that the
bare cost of transportation and mainte-
nance of property without any interest or
or dividends for capital, is only 81 per ton
from Chicago to New York-an sestimate
which all will admit is too low, for it is
only 10 cents per hundred pounds-even
then the roads earned for interest on capi-
tai invested only $23S,96O in the second
period of four months,and So, 213, 1873 in the
| first period. If the estimateof bare cost is
placed higher, it appears that the roads not
| only transported freight during the second
without profits for capital, but at an actual
loss, while the difference between the prof
table and Improbable months remains
the same-about $5,OOO,OOO.
What right have railroad managers to
play tricks with the property intrusted to
| their charge, after such fashion as this ?
Judged by its earnings, this vast property
was rendered valueless for eleven months
| out OF the forty-seven, and yet the same
| managers proved that they had power to
earn, and actually did earn. with the same
property, from $5,OOO,OOO to $1O,OOO.OOO
for capital, in excess of all costs of trans
portation, in one of these years. The
charge that speculation by railroad man
| ayers is at the bottom of nearly all trou-
bles in transportation seems to have some
| foundation. Stockholders and bondhold-
ers have the right to ask whether railroad
wars made for the purpose of rendering
stocks comparatively valueless are not
contrary to public policy. The public has
reason to inquire, too, whether the violent
fluctuations in rates, which railroad man
ayers find excuse::for making when they
want to buy or sell stocks, cannot be pre-
vented

these companies earned $4,000 daily in

We will now try to solve the apple problem
presented by Laurette, although we do not
wish to expose our ignorance, yet we are will
ing to do the best we can. If Jim sells two
apples for one cent he sells one apple for one
half cent, and if Joe sells three apples for
one cent he sells one apple for one-third of a
cent, which if we add together would make
two apples sold for e-sixths of a cent or one
apple for fve-twelfths of cent. Now if Joe
has sixty apples to sell at five for two cents he
only receives two-ffths of q cent for one APP
pie, and five twelfths of cent minus two-tifths
of a cent would leave one-sixtieth of cent,
which Joe according to his reasoning is losing
on one sale but does not apparently know
it; and sixty times one-sixtieth Of a cent is
equal to one whole cent, lost on his lot of ap-
plies the dealer gave him the last time. Or
let us reason thus, if Jim sells two apples for
one cent he will be enabled with his thirty
apples to make fifteen one cent sales, equal to
fifteen cents While joe in the same manner
makes out of his thirty apples ten one cent
sales, equal to ten cents, which foots up the
sum of twenty-five cents. But Joe with his
sixty apples can only make by his reasoning
twelve two cent sales, or twenty four one cent
sales, hence he can only return twenty-four
cents.

in his yard, as he supposed. But some un-
known party visited his apiary, extracting
all the honey and writing on the hive, II have
the honey and you have the bees" From the
looks and appearance of some parties it seems
as if the bees had given the thief a warm re-
ception, one he richly deserved, and the pity
or only thing to be regretted is that their ter
minal facilities were not only about four
inches longer in the place of their present
length. Nevertheless we must credit the bees
