Great Finds of Honey i'm Roofs of
 Buildings.

From the London Standard.l
 Two extraordinary takes of honey have just been mads Tn West Surrey. For the last sixteen or eighteen years colony of bees has taken possession of a niche between the walls of the Hauthoy and Fiddle public house at Ockham, near Ripley. The outer walls of the building are about three feet in thickness, and the bees made choice of their storehouse at the very top of the building, which is three stories high.
 The landlord and landladv, with their daughters, resolved this year upon finding out the exact whereabouts of the colony. A diligent search was made one morning under the roof of the house, and piece of comb was found immediately below the states, but in such a position that it could not be
 reached. MT. Smith, the landlord, then de-
 scended to the bedroom, and with chisel and hammer removed number of bricks from the wall, where the whole stock of bees was found.
 More than two feet square of the wall had to be removed, when wonderful sight pre- scented itself. A large mass of comb, about two feet in thickness, filled with honey, was exposed The bees were fumigated, after which large pieces of honey were cut out, until dish after dish was filled with a total quantity of about one hundred and twenty pounds. The bricks have not been put into i the wall again. but glass door has been in serted, so that anyone interested in bee cul- ture may have an opportunity of seeing them. Another and still more extraordinary take Of honey has been secured at Winters Hall, | Bromley, the seat of iir. George Barrett. Some men were sent to take some bees which | had got between the ceiling of the coach | house and the grsnary. They succeeded in taking three hundred pounds of honey. The | bees had been engaged in their novel hiding place several years. It was very interest | ing sight to see the way in which they had worked

An Impressive Appearance.

 The other day Judge Heacock purchased new and stylish suit of clothes, and when he put it on and blacked his boots and spruced himself up he was about as fine looking specimen of manhood as was ever exhibited in state of captivity. The judge had some business to attend to at a private residence near the outskirts of the city on the high lands, and went out there dressed up in his most magnificent style. When he rang the bell the lady of the house sent her sweet lit tie four-year-old daughter to the door, and the little one soon returned with look of the deepest awe on her pretty face.
 ''Did you go to the door, daughtera' the mother asked.
 "Yes, mamma, and oh! oh! oh! Oh-h-h!"
 "Why, daughter, what's the matter? Is there someone thereY
 ''Yes, mamma, there is"
 'EAnd who is it, dear2"
 'sI don't know, mamma, but I think it's Godl''
 The judge heard the conversation, and when the lady got to the door she just caught glimpse of him as he flew across the railroad track.

THE OHIO ELECTION.


 Tomorrow is election day in Ohio and much interest is felt in the result. The campaign has not bean very warm one nn- til lately, but it has been notable in some re- spects. For instance, the Republican voters have not responded with much enthusiasm to the waving of the bloody shirt. It is con- fessed by one who has closely observed the canvass and who sympathizes with the con- demnation of Democratic practices in the South that the voters of Ohio have ceased to regard it practical issue. They have seen year after year pass with nothing either done or attempted by Republican Presidents or Congresses to prevent or to punish these offences, while the relations of the two races and political freedom at the South have steadily improved. They have likewise sought and secured profitable business con- nections with the people of the South, and, while not disposed to subordinate their principles to their gains, they do not see the use of stirring up sectional bit terness, as this agitation necessarily does, with Democratic administration in power for four years, and nothing practical to be gained by it. For these reasons. the campaign, which began on high key of de- nunciation of the administration for appoint ing ''ex -rebels' to office and with the threat of reducing the basis of southern representa- tion, has gradually toned down until now these issues are largely subordinated to the tariff question and to more timely matters of State concern.
 The Republicans have thoroughly exposed the extravaganza, incompetency and corrup- tion of the present State administration, and in other ways have made good fight. They ought to win, and will if the prohibitionists do not defeat them. The prohibitionists were in the field :n 1883 and boiled S,362 votes. or 1.16 per cent. of the total vote. In that year, however, Governor Hoadley re- ceived 5O.O9 per cent. of the vote, having thus an absolute majority. His most san- guine friends do not claim this for him now, but only hope that the prohibitionists may succeed in drawing enough votes from the Republicans to give him 8 plurality. We shall soon know what they do.

ment at the Pantheon concerts in London. It was an immense figure for those days. When Catalini first came to London in 1906 she bargained for $1O,O00 for singing at the Kings Theater in the Haymarket for the season, which lasted from September 15, 1906, to August 1, 1907, together with $500 to pay her travelling expenses and one clear benefit. But she ended in receiving much more than that. The total amount got by her from the theater in 1907, including bene- fits, was $25, ,000, and her total profits with concerts was about $s6,O0O. Alboni had $1O, ,0OO and Sontag 0,000 for season at the opera in London. Here Patti had $5, ,000 for each night
 A certain wine company has got first class advertisement out of the Democratic at tempt to show that the Republican nominee for Governor of New York is not prohibi- tionist The result of a thorough investi- gation which has been made concerning MT. Davenport's connection with the company is very creditable to him. MT. 0. D. Champ lin, who was secretary and treasurer of the company, died in 1875, leaving widow and four children. His business affairs, other than the business of this company, were in confusion at the time of his death. He had asked Mir. Davenport to become his ex- eeutor, and MT. Davenport had refused; but after his death MT. Champlin's family again asked him to stclear up the estate," and he consented. The entanglement of MT. Champ lin's business had caused some concern in the minds of the stockholders and creditors of the company; and at the first meeting of the board of directors after Mir. Champlin's death his office and salary as secretary and treas urer were transferred to Mir. Davenport. This salary Mr. Davenport drew, but did not retain. He turned it over to the estate of which he was executor. This is proof that he regarded his connection with the company not as connection on his own ac- count, but solely on account of the estate of his kinsman. In 1876 the president of the company resigned and Mir. Davenport was elected to succeed him. In 1883, when a son of MT. Champlin came of age and was made director, MT. Davenport resigned the office of president and treasurer and has since had no connection wich the company and on his own account he never owned a share of it's stock. This doesn't show that MT. Davenport is a "rummy," but it does show that he was kind to the family of a dead friend

The Greatest Diamond in the World.
 From the Manufacturing Jeweler.l
 Our Amsterdam correspondent tells the story of the immense African diamond weighing four hundred and ffty-seven carats in the rough-which is in process of being cut by Mir. Jacques Metz, one of the largest diamond cutters of that city. The stone is said to have a somewhat curious history, and, though it's exact birthplace is only a matter of conjecture, it is known that it was found by somebody in one of the four mines of Kimberley, in the Cape Colony, South Africa
 It is said that in June or July of last year one of the surveillance officers of the Cen tral Mining company in the Kimberley mine found the stone, and, being exempt from search, carried it through the searching house unperceived and sold it to four irregular dealers for fifteen thousand dollars. Before leaving the province the new owners had a night of drinking and gambling, which end ed ill two of them becoming it's owners in- stead of four. The two owners escaped the street police and reached Cape Town, where they found dealer who readily paid them ninety-fve thousand dollars for the stone. There is an export duty on diamonds shipped from Cape Colony of one-quarter per cent, but it appears that this stone was smuggled out of the colony by passenger on the mail steamer and brought to London, where it's presentation at Hatton Garden created great sensation.
 A former resident at the Cape mines man. aged to form company of eight persons, who bought the stone between them for two hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars cash, on condition that the seller or sellers should receive Q ninth share of the eventual profits. The real value of the stone has been estimated at London at about one million dollars. According to the rules of valuation of the famous Tavernier diamond, its value would be $4,166,9S0 The correspondent says that the art of diamond polishing exist ing in Amsterdam for more than three centu- ries has been brought to such perfection that it is expected that this stone, weighing in the rough four hundred and ffty-seven carats and said to be winter and purer than any of it's historical predecessors, will lose ill work ing much less than other famous stones; that it will be more rapidly finished, and it has every chance of remaining the largest and finest diamond of the world

A medical paper complains of the rapid in- crease of absinthe drinking in America, espe- cially among theatrical people. The consu- mer after the habit has been established loses the ruddy hue of health, becomes careworn and emaciated, and lays the foundation of paralysis of the cerebral structure and the nerves arising or having place therein. The dipsomania resulting from the habit is of violent nature and terminates in many in- stances in idiocy and dementia. There is but little chance of cure being established. Alb sinthe is made from wormwood, angelica root, sweet fagroot and alcohol, but an infe- rior kind is manufactured from essential oils and is colored with indigo.
 Christine Nilsson has been writing in de- fense of the heavy payments made to singers in modern times. The sums thus paid have often attracted notice and great deal of envy on the part of those who forget that it is only the first in the profession to whom money making comes easy, and that hard work for little pay is the lot of almost all the rest. If few get much, great many get lit tie enough When Gabrielle visited Russia in 1768 and Catherine II wished to engage her services, she asked 1000 ducats as salary. "Far too much, said the Empress, amazed. s'Why, that is more than pay my field mar shals" "Then let your field marshals sing for you," replied Gabrielle.

 No wonder the French Canadians are dying with the small pox. A Bangor man visiting Canada stopped over night at the house of a French Canadian whose son was foolish.
