Mr.. Beecher on Amusements.

II love color, and think it is one
of the misfortunes of our sex that we
can't wear anything but black, or gray,
perhaps, in summer. Now, in nature
the male is always the most gorgeous,
but, except in the time of the cavaliers,
the dress of men has been somber. The
cavalier was magnificent. I wish the
day might come when we might dress
so again. l should like to flame out
myself llaughtcr], but it is too late, too
late. When I was in college q man
found playing cards would have been
expelled. If they now expelled all
who played there would be few left.
A gentleman visiting Yale, and being
shown the gymnasium, with its billiard
tables and bowling alleys, remarked
to the professor who was escorting
him: 'Forty-tive years ago I was ex-
PEELED from this college because roll
ed nine-pins.' Now, I would not ad-
wise young men to 90 into billiard sa-
looms, from practical, common-sense
reasons. Not that / have any objec-
ton to billiards. have table in my
house at Peekskill, and every Christian
family ought to have one. 1 don't
know how to play cards, but / have no
objection to my children playing. 1
don't think there is any harm in horse
racing, to the horse in the first place;
but to the men great deal. The news
papers say: You ought not to stand
in the way of men who are develop
ing the speed of the horse but 1 say
it is q very. poor economy to feed the
horses with young men. When ! look
at the effect of the race-course / can
not afford to waste whole generation
of young men for the sake Of getting
one second down in the record of q
trotter; and the very reason that makes
it proper to open public schools, or to
establish churches, makes it proper to
put down gambling-dens and this pool
selling, which is the worst kind Of
gambling. Abstractly there is no harm
in running one horse against another,
any more than there is in running one
boy against another; but you have no
right to improve the breed Of horses
by spelling the breed of men. - /, T.

Ginco.e Honey.

A Wayne county farmer. says the
Detroit Free PreSs, has succeeded In
earning place In history along with
the Connecticut man who invented
wooden nutmegs. He lives between
Detroit and Dearborn on Michigan ay-
enue in vine-coyered cottage back q
little way from the road. On the front
fence appears the sigp. white clover
honey" Back Of the house is an apia-
~ with all the modern inventions for
the care of bees and nearly fifty hives
sound with the cheerful humming of
the busy honey-makers.
A representative of the Free Press
quite by accident called at the house
yesterday and found no one at home
and while sitting by an old well curb
refreshing himself with cool water
from an old oaken bucket his attention
was called to the action of the bees.
The cottage is surrounded with luxu-
RANT roses in full bloom, but these bees
did not, as bees used to do,
.I Gather honey all the day .s
-r From every opening flower, .r
Instead were swarming around a large
tray which stood near by, and were
flying back and forth to hives. In this
tray was half an inch of asticky mass
that looked like syrup. Little sticks
were strewn over this substance, and
on these the bees were alighting, and
after taking some Of the syrup flew
back to the hives. .,..s..4a-g--a....aaas..a-Ss.--
"What do you want o. them beesp"
The intruder started up and found
barefooted lad standing before him.
What is this the bees are takingp",
asked the visitor. a 80
"What do you want to know forp
Dad said we wasn't to tell any one
anything about it."
"I'll give you quarter If you will,"
said the reporter, now thoroughly in
terested.
"Well, I dunno what it is. Dad gets
it from town in bar'l. Here's what
he gifts it in," pointing to large cask.
On the end Of the barrel was the
stencil mark: 1900 lbs grape sugar
from Michigan Grape Sugar Manufac-
tory" ...-,.'. ..
.'Is that glucose that the bees are
gettingp"
'.It's something that dad gets out of
that bar'l, that's all know about it."
The inquiring visitor tasted it. There
was an unmistakable gumdrop flavor
to it. Il vi y 5 la-a5.s " lsF.
1--WE had hard work to get the bees
used to it. Dad put in a lot of syrup
at first, but the bees take it straight
now"
"How long does it take to fill a
hiveP" ,.E ..... ..r
''Not near so long as it does when
they have to get the honey from how-
ers. We've taken out a lot this year
already" .... ..,.r IT,, '.,
The boy brought out of the house
box of glucose honey which looked as
clear and inviting as though the
sweets had been distilled from the pur-
est flowers. ras. in. a.s
"Do you eat it?" the boy was asked.
Sometimes. 1t amt so good as the
other, but it's just as good to sell. Say,
don't you never give me away to dad,
or he'd skin me" N,'T7.

One Thing She Forgot.

A good story is told Of d prominent
member of society who had a habit Of
tying a knot in her pocket-handker-
chief when she wished to fix some-
thing in her mind that must be attend
ed to. She was engaged in desper-
ate Irritation on certain occasion,
and in her abstraction dropped the
handkerchief on the floor. This was
noticed by her hostess, who endeavor-
ed to break up the Irritation by invit-
ing her guest into another part Of the
house. As the latter rose from the
chair she stopped and picked up her
handkerchief, noticing as she did SO
the knot in the corner. "What have I
forgotten to-dayp" she asked audibly.
THAT you have a husband" replied
her hostess. The story was repeated,
and the, lady, who is a prominent
member Of the diplomatic circle, al

knots now Washington Hdtchets

THE JURY sTnL OUT.
No Result Yet Reached in the Case Of Mr.. ]
w. Drew

When the criminal court reached its closing
hour yesterday nothing had been heard from
the Jury in the case Of MIR. John w. Drew, who
retired last saturday at 1890 p. m, and have
been out ever since that time. 1t was thong hit
by many that when the Monday morning SEES.
sion opened that the Judge would send for the
jury, and this belief had the effect Of crowd
| ing the chamber with persons DESTROYS Of wit
Messing the proceedings, but when the judge
| came on the bench he took no notice OF their
absence, and no reference was made to them
| during the day.
At o'clock the judge excused the jury in
| the Dempsey. Kirkwoud case, and, turning to
| the Crer, said, Toll that jury when they get
| ready they can send for me; am going home,
aud the crlcr departed to deliver the message
| District Attorney Worthington inquired II
| he would return that night, and the judge
1 said that he would not unless they agreed
upon verdict, and in that case not after 10
| o'clock.
"Did you deliver my message" inquired the
Judge of the crier, who had returned into
| court.
III told them, sir" he replied. Every well,
we will take another recess" and soon aftcl
LEFT the room.
There Is considerable guessing going on rs
to the status of the jury, but those who think
they know say that they stand six each way
II that is so then there is not much prospect
Of O verdict.
