An Exciting Adventure.

Mr. j. b. Martin, while rambling in
the mountains Of Colorado recently,
met with an exciting adventure. He
was climbing mountain, and happen
ing to look up met the eyes of Wild
cat crouching for spring. The ami
nal made leap, and, Mr. Martin in
stinctively dodging his head, the beast
fell upon his right shoulder, fastening
his sharp claws in his overcoat. Mr.
Martin shook it off suddenly, when
it rolled down the steep side of the
mountain for some ten feet. Gather
ing itself up, furious with rage, it pre-
pared for another leap. Mr. Martin,
in the meantime, started on run up
the mountain, but was soon obliged to
stop for want of breath, when he dis
covered the wildcat close to his heels.
For the first time he thought of re.
yolvcr in his pocket, and lodged a bul-
let in one of its forelcgs, but the ami
nal continued to approach. The next
shot lodged in ore of the creatures
eyes, and he continued firing till the
pistol was empty. when he had the
satisfaction of seeing the beast dror
dead at his feet.

Bees do not usually want more than
one queen. In fact, they will not have
more than one unless the swarm has
grown 50 large as to crowd the hive
and they are going to found colony
or SWARM" as it is called; in which
case each family will need sovereign.
As soon as it is clear to the wiseacres
that it will be necessary to send oil
swarm the bees 90 to work to make a
queen. A worker maggot, or If there
happens to be none in the hive, work
er egg is selected near the edge of the
comb. Two cells next door to the one
in which this maggot isare cleared out
and the dividing walls are cut down,
50 that three ordinary cells are turned
into one The food which the worker
worm las been feeding on is removed,
and the little creature is supplied with
new kind of food--a royal jelly
Change of food, a larger room, and a
different position-the queens cell
hangs down insteal of being horizon
tal-these three changes of treatment
turn the bee that is developing from a
worker into queen. She is different
in her outer shape, different in almost
all her organs, and different in every
ingle instinct. There is nothing else
in all nature that seems to me NOR
wonderful than this
For fear that one queen may not
come out all right, the provident little
creatures usually start two or three
oueen-cells at once. 1t is curious to
watch the first queen as she comes out.
She moves up and down the comb,
looking for other quten-cells, and il
she finds one she falls upon it in the
greatest excitement, and stings her
rival to death. Sometimes, by acci-
dent, two new queens como out at the
same time; then it is wonderful to see
the bees They clear space and bring
The two rivals together. and stand
back to wal ch the fight. And it is a
royal fight indeed; a fight to the death
for they never give up till one or the
other is fatally stung. The victor |
then accepted as sovereign. St Nc"

Laughter and Death.

There is no laughter in the natural world
OIbcnst, or fish, or bird, though no sad doubt
Ol their iuturily to them unlurled
Has dared to check the mirth-compclling
shout.
The lion roarS his solemn thunder out
To the sleeping woods. The eagle screams
her rcry.
Even the lark must strain serious throat
To hur his bcst defiance ut the sky.
Fear, Anger Jealousy, have found voice;
Loves pain or rapture the brute bosoms
swell;
Nature has symbols for her noble joys,
Her nobltr SORROWS. Who had dared iOretell
That only man, by some sad mockery,
Should learn to laugh who learns that he
must die?

Sarah Bernharht.

Lucy Hooper writes OF sarah Bern
hardt, the great French actress, as fol-
lows: really think that this wonder
full oman has screw loose somewhere
in her mental organization. She is not
mad nor even cracked, but she is what
the French call "t0q,tee," convenient
word for which the English language
affords no equivalent, Her reckless
ness in money matters is something
phenomenal. When she was about to
start for America she wrote to a bril-
liant French author: "All my expenses
and those of my maid, including car
riage hire, are to he paid by the mana
ger. Do you think | can get along
with $4,000 per month as pocket
money!" Her friend wrote back in
answer: "Since you ask me the ques-
ton, do not think that you can" She
will give her steward hundred dollars
at time. Two days later he will
come to her for money "Why, did |
not give you some the other day. she
will say, vaguely. "All gone, is it?
Well, here is $50: Only take care of it."
Her cook never knows how many peo-
pie are to be pres mt at breakfast or at
dinner, for Sarah thinks nothing OF
inviting an extra dozen or 50 of
guests. She wilt put on pair of new
boots, go out to walk, get caught in a
shower, and toss her desecrated JottjReS
as present to her maid as soon as she
pulls them off. She never pays a bill
without legal pressure, is layshly gen.
erous to her servants and to the poor,
his no idea of order or punctuaity,
and is as eccentric in private life as
she is great upon the stage. She has
made and squandercd three fortunes,
is always dying aad never dies, is as
fragile as a reed, yet tires out the
strongest men in her troupe when she
goes upon a professional tour. This
latter popularity is owing to her 'ex-
ceptional power of sleeping whenever
she chooses. She always travels in a
Sleeping car, and, once ensconced there
in, she will draw down the blinds and
betake herself to Slumber Arrived
at her destination, she will walk upon

her foot before, and the exits and en-

Shall we paint our statues? Yes.
SAYS Professor Treu, the director Of
the Dresden collections of antiquities.
lie has recently published a pamphlet,
in which he expresses the opinion that
the attempt should be made to supply
marble, bronze and ivory statuary
with colored costume \ white mar
bic Goethe in Wcrthcr attire, for
instance, he would furnish with
dark-blue coat, and give to his waist
coat the orthodox canary color The
other side of the question IS taken up
by the writer in the Dcutyche Rant
schau, who maintains that the more
sculptor has mastered his art the
more he will value the natural white
ness of the marble. The spirit of the
artist gives life alike to the pure
marble, the dark bronze, and the pale
ivory. Where that viyifying spirit IS
wanting, no color can give life to the
statue. The paint pot, in short, would
be the death of the sculptor5 art.

Dogs and cats rank among the low
er animals, in strong distinction from
the higher animal man; yet the advan-
sage of the nobler being is not without
ONE drawbacks. The lower animals
can bear operations with impunity
under which man would quickly sue
cumb, as has recently been shown by
actual experiment. In Italy one en-
tire lung was removed from fifty-seven
animals, such as sheep, dogs and cats
and thi.ty-fve of these recovered.
The right lung was removed from
thirty-thrce, with twelve successes.
and the left from thirty-four, with
eighteen. There were also five sue
cessful results after removal fportiOns
of the lungs. In this country the
spleen was recently renewed from Il
black poodle one year old, and the
dogs disposition remained unchanged.
A horse in Switzerland has been
running a strange race. A short timo
ago, when the passenger train from
Berne to Luccrne left the station
Vohlhausen, a four-yearold horse es-
capcd from its master and ran upon
the track close in front of the engine,
galloping ahead of the train as far as
the next station. Here, while the
train stopped for two minutes, the
horse got ahead. BY the time the
next station was reached the train had
nearly oyertaken the horse Soon af-
ter the beast stumbled and lost a shoe;
nevertheless Re managed to pick him
self up, and continued to run in front
of the train, arriving as victor at
Lucerne, bathed in sweat. but quite
uniniured There he was caught and
tended by the station authorities. He
had run tho twelve and two-hfth miles
in thirty-four minutes, besides travers-
ing two dark tunnels with perfect
safety.

We are becoming a great cheese and
butter eating nation. The home con-
sumption of these two articles of diet
has increased in a greater ratio than
any other food. Cheese, like meat, Is
muscle-producing, and is very nutrl-
tious to people who have stomachs to
digest it. People in southern Europe
can live on cheese with an onion and
q little macaroni. Time was when
our butter and cheese were very poor
compared to those in certain parts of
Europe. But our creamerles and
cheese factories now turn out an arti-
Gle far better than the average OF that
produced in Europe.

NJ LEAP YEAR.
Uuriou. Error OF n popaIar NoveIi.t.

Curious Error OF n Popular Novelist.
Julian Hawthorne's novel Archibald
Mllmaison" through a singular and yet
excusable error of the Gregorian calendar
on the part of the author. makes it hero
to be born on February 80, 1900. But the
year 1900 was not leap year, and consC-
quently there was no Goth of February.
The Nation first called attention to the
mistake, and was taken TO task at once by
some of the Eastern newspapers which
wanted to know how it happened that
1896 and 1904 were not leap years and 1900
was not. A correspondent OF the
New York EUsning Post then took
the matter up ard explained that
according TO the Gregorian calendar
it was decreed, that all years divsble by
four without remainder should be leap
years, except centennial years. That ar
Tangement was made said the correspond
ent, sin order to perfect as nearly
as possible, the method of intCrcala
tion, and under this system the civil year
exceeds the astronomical year in length by
twenty.six seconds, which will amount to
one day in 3,323 years. so that even the
rule laid down by the Gregorian calendar
is not perfect as the year 3,324, which,
according to the rule will bc leap year,
should in fact be common year. But, as
the continuance Of the present rule will
not throw the seasons out of place for
some time to come, it is scarcely worth
worrying about" The rule applied to
centennial years is those which are di.
visible by 400 without a remainder only
are leap years. The years 1900, 1900,
1000, 24OO are leap years while the inter
vening centennial years are not.
