A Paris AnYpnture.

One of the most distinguished physi-
clans IN Paris met with a Startling ad
venture the other day. His servant
handed him, at z o'clock in he even
ing, letter signed by an unknown
person, asking the DOCTORS Immediate
attention for a relative of the person
whose signature appeared at the bot
tom of the letter. This relative did
not, however, live in Paris, bpt in st.
German, at the old pavilion built by
Henry ". The address given was
rather singular, but the letter contain
ed GOO francs In crisp, new notes of
the bank of France. The case was rep.
resented as urgent; the patient intend
ed leaving for the south of France in
the morning Gould the doctor come
at once}'
1t was furthermore suggested TO him
that the train that left Paris at mid
night for ST. Germain-the "theater
train would be the best one TO take.
They would expect him at the ''pavil-
ions" room had cen prepared, and
he could return to Paris the first thing
in the morning.
Lie COulutnb lOut vi lit ltbttf dbN
the snug sum inclosed decided the
doctor. He left home that right in
time to catch the midnight train.
That night dreadful storm burst
over St. German The doctor was
afraid he would lose his way in the
darkness, and secured the services OF
a Trustworthy railway porter as pilot.
w hen they arrived at the pavilion be
was informed that mo one o. that
name lived there, that mo do :toi
was expected" The door was slammed
in the doctors face and he spent q
portion of the night in the pelting
rain, running from house to house u

Was it a practical joke, a wager, Z
trap to waylay and murder him, o.
was there "a lady in the case3' No
body knows.
The doctor is a quiet married man
a model of the domestic virtues, anC
has no enemies SO far as he is aware
of.
1t wes reported that stranger call
ed at the pavilion the next day, ant
finding upon inquiry that the docto
had been there, SIMPLY remarked;
"Oh, it is all right; let him keep tn
money"
And so the doctor did.

Is Bee. Culture ProfltabIeg

The following was translated from
'Welt Bote' Pennsylvania paper,
by John Nobel, for the American Bee
Journal
This occasionly puzzles some per-
sons who live in favorable locality.
They derive nice profit from bees
that they kept during a good season.
The rumor of it is spread far and
wide, and encourage many others to
commence keeping bees. A few per-
sons in the country have succeeded
by their shrewdness to accumulate
considerable wealth. Usually have
they adopted with honey raising the
breeding and selling of imported bees,
and occasionally have sold a few hives
and implements to bee-keepers.
Experience teaches that most of
these persons engaged in the business
loose time and money. The cause
does not likely lay in the business IL
self as much as it does in the men that
manage it. Some are satisfied with
small profit; they want to accumulate
wealth by it, the same as they have
read that others have done. Many
commencing the business without
any knowledge and without learning
from books or from experienced per
sons. They have heard that bees are
intelligent and industrious insects,
and presumirg also that they can
with surety live there alone and gath
err honey and take care of themselves,
trusting to the it'll e creatures ability
and wisdom. When the weather is
warm the hives are molssted with
moths, and during the winter the
cold weather seriously injure the in
habitants Of those hives.
AT the close of the first year they
have harvested a large amount OF ex-
perience, but is not salable. There
are plenty of books written with sweet
matter from the blessed bees, and
they have done much 20 stimulate
the desire for practical experiments.
Those who want to save tho costly
learning of experience, will do better
if they first carefully consider the adj
vice of some practical bee keeper, and
then commence with small expert

SENATOR'S SOY AND DUDE.
How Freddie Gebhardt Paid the
Gambling Debts of n Rspudiator's
Son.

How Freddie Gebhardt Paid the
Gambling Debts of a Rspudiator,s
Son.
The senior Senator from Virginia
has a son named Butler Malone, SAYS
the Washington correspondent of the
Hartford Times Butler is a young
man about twenty fiva years old, and
is inclined to be what the bows call a
blood. Since his father became a
United States Senator, Butler has
been IN many Scrapes. His latest ad =
venture was In New York City. 1t
appears that Butler went to New York.
and while there he became acuuaint-
ed with Freddie Gebhardt, of Lang
try fame. Gebhardt is q member of
the most fashionable club in that city.
One evening he introduced Butler at
the club as his guest Gebhardt's as
Sociates received Butler cordially and
the latter sson felt himself quite at
home. During the evening a game
of poker was proposed. Butler ask d
permission to take hand. His re-
quest was granted, and he soon lost
all the change he had in his pockets
amounting to about $50. He PLAYED
along until he was about $500 out.
When the game concluded he drew
a notn upon MS father, and Gebhardt.
who had introduced him, indorsed the
note. Butler said the money should
be paid as soon as he returned to
Washington. This statement appear
ed satisfactory and Butler came to
Washington.
Gebnardt waited several weeks be-
fore writing to Batter to tell him that
the party who held the note claimed
that he (G sbhardt), as the in-
dorser, would be held responsible UNI
less the money was Immediately
forthcoming. Butler paid no atten
ton To- GebhardtS letters. so the latter
addressed a letter to the Senator stat
ing the facts in the case, and request
ing him to pay the debt contracted
by the son. The Senator replied that
he knew nothing about his sons CON
duct in New York, and, intimated
that Gebhardt was a bunko man or
three card monte player. endeavoring
to blackmail him out of $500. Gebhardt
showed the Senator's letter to several
members of the club, and a good
laugh was had at the expence of Geb-
hardt.
The party holding the note insisted
upon its payment; so Gebhardt final.
ly drew check for the amount and
took a receipt This he inclosed to
Senator Malone, with the statement
that instead of trying to swindle him
out of the money, he (GebhardD mad
been obliged to pay Buffers gamb-
ling debts. He denounced this Sena-
tor as a repudiator as well as read
juster. This story is from we'll
known New York club man, who says
it IS oUrrent gossip ia the New York
clubs.

Grating Wax.

A recipe for making a good graft
ing wax is asked for and we give the
following. If anyone knows better
way, send it 10 US.
Resin, beeswax, and tallow, are the
essentials. Some use equal parts by
weighing of these; others prefer, as
warm weather approaches, more
rosin and less tallow. a good recipe
is rosin 2 lbs, beeswax Il lbs, tai
low ~ ounces. These should be melt
ed well together over a gentle fire
and stirred as the mixture cools. 1t
is most conveniently used upon strips
of cloth. Any old calico or muslin
that will tear readily. may be torn
into strips 2 inches wide, made into
balls and soaked in the melted wax,
until thoroughly saturated. We pre-
fer to roll the cloth upon . shortstck,
to afford handle. If paper is to be
used, the warm wax is spread with a
brush upon one side of this Manila
paper. Some grafters prefer a wax
made with raw liuseed OIL, using a
pint of oil instead of pound OF tai
low.

The Medical Value OF Vegetables.

On the authority of the Medical
Record, asparagus is a strong diuretic,
and forms part of the cure for rheu-
matte patients at such health resorts
as Aixies Bains. Sorrel is cooling and
forms the staple of that soup duc
berbeS which a French lady will or
der for herself after a long and firing
journey. Carrots, as containing a
quantity of sugar, are avoided by
some people, while others complain of
them as indigestible. With regard to
latter accusation it may be remarked
in passing that it is the yellow core OF
the carrot that is difficult in diges-
tiou-the outer red layer. is tender
enough. In Savoy, the peasants have
recourse to an infusion of carrots as a
specific for iaundice. The large,
