Losing Silver to Find Gold.

She was old and feeble and the con-
ductor had almost to lift her into the
car. She hobbled to a seat and depos-
iting her bundle on the floor, proceeded
to tumble in her pocket for her fare.
After much searching she produced a
quarter, which she handed to the con-
ductor. He returned the change to
her trembling fingers, but before she
could put it in her pocket, piece
probably dime-fell to the floor and
was lost between the Stats at her feet.
In vain did she try to find it. 1t pain
ed her to bend so low, and, with look
of resignation, she gave it up. A tall
man dressed in black, sat facing her,
and watched her intently as she leaned
back in her seat. His hand went to
his pocket, then, STOPPING forward, he
appeared to be looking for the lost
coin, and with an "Ah, here it is,
madam" he stretched his hand to the
floor and raising it deposited the
money in her lap. He rose and imme-
diately left the car. The old woman
beckoned to the conductor and, show
ing him a five dollar gold piece,
asked if he had not given it to her by
mistake He assured her he had given
her two dimes. She could not under
stand how she came by it, but few
of the passengers could, and as she put
her hand to her face to hide the tears
of Joy that dimmed her eyes, some one
whispered the strangers name. He is
one of the best known philanthropists
in New York, a member of family
noted for many years far and wide fol
its countless good deeds. -Neao Yorh

The Husbands Opportunity.

It is doubtful whether the male head
of a family often appreciates the oppor-
tunity he has for diffusing sunshine
at home, or comprehends how much
gloom he can bring with him in a
troubled face and moody temper from
the Office or the street. The house
mother is within four walls from
morning till dinner time, with a few
exceptions, and must bear the worri-
ments of fretful children, inefficient
servants, weak nerves and unexpected
callers. And she must do this day af-
ter day, with monotonous regularity.
The husband goes out from the petty
details of home care. He meets friends.
He feels the excitement of business
competition. He has the bracing infu-
ence of the outdoor walk or ride. If
he will come home cheerful and buoy
ant his presence is like a refreshing
breeze He has it in his power to

A Tall Rabbit.

Excepting the Irishman's hare,
which was no hare at all, but a dom
key, the polar hare is the largest of
the long-eared tribe. 1t equals the fox
in size, and will sometimes reach the
hight of a mans knee.
The golden eagle and the snowy owl
are both particularly fond of the pretty
creature, but it is a fondness which
the hare has no desire to encourage.
and therefore, when it spies one of
these great birds sailing through the
air, with its sharp eyes searching abou
for something to devour, it instantly
sinks upon the snow as motionless as
if dead, and thanks to the whiteness
of its fur, it can hardly be distinguished
from the material it rests upon.-St

wrestling Camels,

Wrestling matches between camels
is an amusement in Wlieh the Turks
take great delight, although they some
times get fine animal manned in the
sport. The camels are trained to
wrestle when quite young, and take
much pleasure in the fray. A CORES
pondent writes: We had young one
on board, only month old, and as he
was born under the flag he was chris
tened "Uncle SAM" One of the Turks
amused himself on the voyage making
a ''pehlevan" of him, and W, en- he was
six weeks old he was NOR than a
match for his master, using his legs,
meek and mouth with such deXJerity,
and displaying such wonderful
strength in so young thing, that he
became very rough playmate, and
often hurt the men by throwing them
down. This feature seems to be nat
ural to the camel, for when two
strange ones come together where
there are any females they have a
wrestling match for the supremacy,
and the conquered one ever after ac-
knowledges his inferiCrity by not so
much as daring to glance at a female.
Well-trained animals seldom injure
each other, being taught to throw
their antagonist by getting his neck
under their fore leg-the right one
and then throwing the whole weight
of their body on him and bringing him
to the ground.

Nautical Eloquence.

A speaker who attempts to use maui
tical metaphors should be thoroughly
familiar with the sea and the working
of ship, or he will strand his speech.
A clergyman was once supplying a
pulpit by the seaside. Thinking to
impress the truth more distinctly upon
the congregation, many of whom were
seamen, he drew the figure of a ship
trying to enter harbor against high
wind.
Unfortunately for the success of his
metaphor, he knew little of seaman
ship. After putting the ship into sew
eral singular positions, he cried out in
a tone intended to be emphatic:
"What shall we do next2''
''The Lord only knows" exclaimed
Disguised old tar, "unless you let her
drift stern foremost"
The prince of sailor-preachers,
Father Taylor, was once silenced by a
compliment to his eloquence. He had
depicted the impenitent sinner under
the figure of storm-tossed ship, with
her sails split, and driven by the gale
toward the rock-bound coast of Cape
Ann.
go, how" he exclaimed, in tones Of
despair, shall this sin-tossed sinner bt
saved?"
Instantly an old salt in the gallery
who had listened with open mouth anG
straining eyes to the preacher, jumped
to his feet, and in a voice that would
have sounded above a hurricane, shout
ed:
s.Let him put bis helm hard down

A Talk About Bees.
Nicholas.

Every one who has been in the
spring time has seen bees. TWO kinds
are seen, the small brown and yellow
ones, which are called honey bees, and
the larger black and yellow ones called
humble bees. Honey bees are so called
because making honey is the Occupa-
ton of their life; they all follow the
trade preseveringly. In this busy
occupation they have always kept up
reputation for industry, and SO 'as
busy as bee" became long, long ago,
proverbial expression.
How bees carry on their work ha
occasioned no small amount of study
They usually live in hives. and there
they build their comb, which is COM
posed of countless small cells, or little
siX-sided rooms, built of wax. When
we look at a piece of honey-comb as
it lies on our plate at the table, we
wonder what marvellous method the
bee could possess by which he builds
so regularly and SO beautifully; he
must surely be natural architect
The waxy building material is secreted
in the form of scales under six little
flaps situated on the under side of the
insect. 1t is then pulled out by the
bee and nodded with other scales, unit
a tough piece of wax is formed. How
/ the bee manages to build these cells
with such mathematical accuracy is
not known Six sided is the best pos
! sible shape for strength and space
combined. The edges of the cells are
strengthened with a substance called
prop0lis, kind of gum procured from
j the buds of various trees. The pro-
polls is also used to stop up crevices
After the bees have built their store
houses they begin to manufacture
honey. They 60 out in every direc-
ton, over field and forest, over mea-
dow and garden, in search of the
flowers.
They do not gather the honey as
birds gather fragments for their nests,
but they have pockets which they fill
up before returning to the hive. In
this gathering of honey from near and
far, the bees distinguish themselves as
hard workers. For instance, each
head of clover contains about sixty
distinct flower tubes, each of which
contains portion of honey not ex-
ceeding the five hundpedth part of a
grain. The proboscis of the bee must
therefore, be inserted into 500 clover
tubes before one grain of honey can be
. obtained. Each pound of honey re
, presents 100000 clover tubes sucked
by bees. Isn't that a tremendous
amount of labor Tor insects to per
| form9
/ The manner in which the bees gov
ern themselves is very curious. Thei
political system is to have a queen bee
who rules the household and lays al
the eggs from which the inhabitant
] of the hive are produced. She depc
sits from two to three thousand egg
daily for weeks in succession. TIL
workers build combs and gather hone,
o. The males are drones and gather n
i honey, and are for this reason kille
g off yearly by the workers in August.

SuperStitiOus Mormon Women.

A CHASTITY burial ceremony that is
practised by the Mormons rivets the
hold polygamy has on the superstition
of these creatures Every wife that is
buried has black cloth laid on her
face, and the Mormon women are
taught to believe that on the resurrec-

into the joys of their Lord, no hand
but that of husband can remove the
cloth. and that unless the cloth is lift
