An Extraordinary Rattle.

A remarkable instance q correspond
emit writes) of the ferocity of bees under
certain conditions has Just been af-
forded. A couple of days since the
Topsham Horticultural and Cottage
Garden Society held.its annual exhibit
ton ut the Retreat, near Exeter. One
of the tents was occupied BY the Devon
and Exeter Beekeepers' Association,
and among its exhibits was one which
excited great deal of interest. This
was case containing several
thousand dead drones, which had lost
their lives in a sanguinary battle a
couple of days previously. A we'll
known apiarian was visiting a friends
house day or two previously, and on
coming to one of the bee. hives it was
found that there was great uproar in
side. Closer inspection showed the
ground below the hive to be covered
with several hundred dead drones, and
hosts of them were still being brought
to the entrance and bundled out bv the
workers, generally by being seized be-
hind the head, dragged along to the ex-
it, where as kind of farewell sting
was given to them. Examination Of
the slain revealed the fact that they had
been severely handled-many were
headless, others had lost legs or wings
or both, and all bore evidence of rough
usage. That the bees were very much
the superior force was shown by the
fact that only about fifty of them had
fallen in the fray-a remarkable dispro-
portion to the number slain of the enc
my. The battle had ragged from about
seven in the morning to the same hour
in the evening, and seemed then to end
only with the utter humiliation of the
drones. -PaU Mall Gazette.

WHAT NIGHT HAVE BEEN.

So many things there might have been
Had our dear child not died.
We count them up and call them DER,
We weigh the less against the more,
The joy she never knew or shared,
The bitter woes forever spared,
The dangers turned aside
Heavens full security-and then,
Perplexed, We sigh-all might have been.
We might have seen her sweet cheeks glow
With loves own happy bloom.
Her eyes with maiden gladness full,
Finding the whole world beautiful:
We might have seen the jOyance fail,
The dear face sadden and grow pale,
The smiles fade into gloom,
Loves sun grow dim and sink again
Either of these it might have been.
We might have seen her with the crown
or wifehOOd on her head,
A queen of homes fair sOvereigntieS
With little children at her knees;
Or, brOken-hearted and alone.
Bereft and widowed of her own,
Mourning beside her dead
This thing or that, beyond our ken,
1t might have been, it might have been.
There is no need of questions now,
No doubts. or risks, or fears;
Safe folded In the Eternal care,
Grown fairer each day and still more fair,
With radiance i'm the clear young eyes
Which in cool depths of Paradise
Look without stain of tears,
Reading the Lord's intent. and then
Smiling to think what might have been.
We. too, will smile. oh dearest child;
Our dull souls may not know
The deep things hidden from mortal sense
Which find their Heavenly confidence;
On this one sure thought can we rest.
That God has chosen for thee the best,
Or else il were not so:
He called thee back to Heaven again
because He knew what might have been.

Foreigners IN Paris.

From the "Annuaire de Ia Vile de
Paris for 1881, recently issued, we
learn how comparatively few residents
in Paris are Partisan born and bred.
Indeed, out of every 1000 inhabitants
only 322 are born in the metropolis,
while 80 come from the other communes
of the department., $50 from the vari-
GUS departments or colonies, and Is
from foreign countries. Other CONT
mental capitals do not contain so many
foreigners as Paris, Berlin only pos
sessing Is out of 200 and Pesth but IA.
At the time of the census of 1881 there
were in Paris 45, 281 Belgians, 31,19O
Germans, 21,577 Italians, 2O,81O Swiss,
1879 English, $3.50 Dutch, 1927
Americans, 1886 Russians, 1882
Austrians and 1916 Spaniards. The
German element has very largely in
creased since 1876, at which period they
only numbered 19,O24. It is most
abundant in the outer ACCOMPLISHMENTS of
the city, and particularly in the Nine
teenth. The Dutch and the Belgians
(the latter numbering but 81, 1872 in
1870 are found Unfortunately
throughout Paris; the Swiss are power
full in the commercial localities; the
Italians, who have almost doubled
since 1876, in the Eleventh and neigh

glish chiefly inhabit the Eighth, Six

as whole, increased from 119, $40 in

whisky that is to blame !; that there is
more to be done than depriving man
of the means of drinking. IF it were
practicable to abolish strong drink
from the face of the earth mankind
would be the better for it-but not as
much better as people commonly be-
lieve. 1t would simply deprive weak
and bad men of one means of infict-
ing injury on themselves and the
race, without curing them of the dis
position to do whatever will infict
such injury. 1t is important that we
should take an axe away from an in
sane person ; but to gather up all the
axes only while leaving him to roam
about in a world full of clubs and
stones would not be to get rid of the
danger. AS it is impracticable to
gather up all the possible instruments
OF danger, we undertake to cure the
lunatic of the desire to hurt others by
strengthening him where he is weak
and correcting his moral deformities.
The same principle should be appli-
ed IN the treatment Of inebriety and
the weaknesses which lead to it. We
should not alLoW men to think when
they become drunkards they are the
unfortunate victims of whisky and
whisky dealers, but the victanas OF
their oa0n moral IN capacity which may
or may not be corrected, according to
the degree of incompleteness. Parents
should recognize the fact that the
saloons are a danger to their children
only when there is lack of proper
moral training or an inherited defect
iveness of mental organization in the
children. A boy with a healthy body
and healthy mind, properly trained,
will never be injured by the saloon.
Of course there are thousands who
are morally defective and it is i'm
portant that we should keep whisky
from them. So far as this is parctic-
able society should be a unit in the
endeavor. Citizens leagues should
be organized everywhere to do what
ever can be done to limit the dangers
Of whisky. But it should be kept in
view at the same time that the entire
abolition of these dangers rests in the
moral education of the race-in the
better training of children.
