A Stingless Honey Gee


It may not be generally known to those
who have been stung by the common black
honey bee or the still more dangerous ''im-
proved italian bee'' that in the State of Yu-
catan and some other of the Central Ameri-
can States there is a honey gathering bee
that has no sting, and that such bees will
secure for their owner as large an amount of
honey as do the stinging bees. The follow
ing extract from that very intelligent lady,
Mrs. Hester P Walker, the daughter of DR..
Henry Perrince, who was murdered by the
Indians in 1910 on Indian Key, (Florida),
will give some important knowledge of these
wonderful bees, that may be cultivated in
Florida, she says:
'About the year 1885, think, my father
sent me to Key West and Indian Key some
hives of stingless bees. They were sent to
Indian Key, and when we were in 1889 and
1910 one hive still remained the other two in
swarming had steered for the mainland, and
were lost. Those at Key West had also dis
appeared. Their hives were simple hollow
logs. Their cells were entirely unlike The
common bees, being an ectagon about as
large as an ordinary marble and holding
about a teaspoonful of pure, clear honey.
This is as I remember them. At one time
when flag of truce was flying, the Indians
reported to the officers at Fort Dallas that
they had found new bee that did not sting.
1t is possible that some of our pioneers may
have found trees of such honey, AID yet been
afraid to make of them from the entire
ly different appearance of the comb and
honey. They are worth seeking for, and if
found will but add another to the strange
and wonderful list of Florida's produc-
tions.
"Father sent at the same time of sending
these to Florida a hive to old PEARLS museum
in New York. Beale kept them long time,
feeding them sweetened water and anus
ing himself with the CONSERVATION of his
visitors at finding bees flying round his
museum. These succumbed to the cold"
If any of these bees yet remain in Florida,
as another monument to that illustrious man
who did and sacrificed SO much for the good
of Florida they should be carefully cultivated
and increased i'll numbers If net others
should be introduced from their original
habitat.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The California Assembly has passed bill
in sections of $40 acres without actual settle
ment. This is paving the way for another
land grabbing scheme . scale like the
Humboldt county redwood syndicate. About
CO. 000, 900 acres of land in the Pacific coast
and territories are owned in large areas main
ly by titled foreigners. The school-land bill
leads the San Francisco Bulletin to say:
'Landlordism in this country is assuming
gigantic proportions on the part of foreign
ers who have not the least intention of ever
becoming citizens
The cost of tho railroad from Suakim to
Bsrbers with equipment, will be $35, 900 q

$50 miles. This charge.will fall either on
the Egyptian bondholders or the British tax
payers, but the latter must pay for it in the
first instance, and to get the money from the
bondholders, backed as they are by all the
powers of Europe, will be like getting butter
out Of dogs mouth And when made
whose property will it be, England's or
Egypt's! Since it is made on Egyptian soil
ment,it is legally Egypt's. The cost of main
tenance will be nearly $500, 900 year.
DR.. Hyades, who lately returned to France
from Terra Del Fuego, says the Fuegians are
the lowest human beings in the scale of sx-
istenee. Their language contains no word for
any number above three; they are unable to
distinguish one color from another; they
have no religion and no funeral rites, and
they possess neither chiefs nor slaves Their
only weapons are bone-pointed spears, and
they grow neither fruits nor vegetables
and their country is naturally barren, they
are obliged to live entirely on animal food.
Even these savages possess, however, some
social virtues. They are not cannibals, they
ill-treat neither women nor the old, and they
are homogeneous.

WHERE STYLES COME FROM.
Interview With a Man who Gets Vi
Mems Fashion Plates.
From the American Tailor.l

From the American Tailor.
We always on the lookout for some
thing new. Sometimes we get suggestion
or hint from a tailor or some other person.
and will work on it till we produce something
acceptable. After getting suggestions from
tailors and others, and considering them,
perhaps getting the view of a lady, we go off
and do as many newspaper men do, act as
we please. It is well enough to get the idea
of others, but when we come down to work
we have to boss the job and use our own
ideas. 1t is one of those businesses in which
there is no well defined method as to origina-
ting styles. Observation and study is re-
quired Formerly changes were made in
February for spring and summer styles, and
in August for fall and winter, and the great
est changes are still made at these periods
The trade for the past ten years, at least, has,
however, not been content with but two
plates per year, and must now have them
quarterly, many of the foremost demanding
them monthly. The great changes are in the
spring and fall, however, and the others are
notifications Or Improvements on them, Lot
radical changes.
The business of making style has increased
| greatly within the past few years, and there
are number at it, but the bulk of it was
done by two or three houses. Ot course
| there is not SO much change in style demand
ed by gentlemen as by ladies. No, we do
not get up any styles for particular sections
of the country. When we publish the plates
| they are sent to every portion of the country,
and sometimes it is found that style will
become popular in one section and another
in another section, but, a rule, the tastes
are as much different in one section as an
other There are about twenty thousand
merchant tailors Of standing in the country
those who keep stock and are fully up to
the times, having the best goods-and with
them the fashion magazines have come to be
as essential as the newspaper. Suoh prog
ress have we made that even Europeans are
adopting our patterns.
Formerly the representative merchant tail
or might be said to be of poor parents,
receiving pattern plates twice year and be-
ing fully satisfied. Now, however, the mer-
chant tailor is not content with even the
quarterly plates issued, and it is SURPRISING
those of other countries They are now ever
alive for something new, and have not only
the latest patterns for their customers, but
the latest improvements of tools and conven-
fences for their business. Some were con-
tent few years ago with modest, unassum-
ing places of business, but now the merchant
tailor has as ine an establishment as any
tradesman.

could afford to do every

We want to do in
this department five

We want to do some

dy in New Haven think
of our store the moment

cheap for a while.

much. You will never
have to pay more for
anything in our store
than you can buy it for

good, honest, well-hn-

against ready-made gar

the fact that the makers
have hitherto aimed

we can offer garments
SO -solidly made and so
neatly finished that any

THE GOULD ROADS.
Wherever, in the Southwest, the Syste
Reaches, the Men 60 Out.

Wherever, in the Southwest, the System
Reaches, the Men go Out.
The railroad strike in the Southwest
has assumed formidable proportions,
and wherever the Gould system has a
foothold there the men are either out
or on the point of abandoning the
works. At .Sedalia the number out is
very great, and they are quiet and
orderly, but determined. The city has
appointed several hundred extra
policemen, and the strikers appointed
400 or 500 men to watch and guard
property. No freight trains are mov-
ing, and no engines are allowed to leave
the shops. The railroad manage
ment served notice upon the city
that they demand protection, and also
that they would hold the city re-
sponsible for all loss of property. On
the night of the 9th, the mayor of Sc
dalia called for troops, and about
midnight Gov. Marmaduke decided to
send the military to the scene and is-
sued an order for $50 men to proceed
there at once. The troops were taken
to Centertown, within fifty miles of
Sedalia, where they were quartered in
the cars. Late in the night, an armis-
tice was agreed upon until noon March
IA, at which time the strikers are to
have an answer. Gov. Marmaduke
and Gen. Jameson are to act as medi-
ators and see what, if any, compro-
mise can be made.

A Lost Continent.

(FrOm the San Francisco Chronicle.)
Capt. William Churchill delivered an
interesting lecture on "A Sunken Con-
tinent," last evening, before a large
audience in the Academy of Sciences.
He sought to show by the records of
deep sea soundings and from arch@o-
logical remains that the Pacific Islands
are only the remnants of q submerged
continent, whose mountain peaks and
lofty heights are all that remain above
the surface of the ocean. He dwelt at
length on the subject of a Po]ynesian
antecedent civilization as revealed
through ancient implements, statues,
and sculptured stone slabs found on a
few OF the groups, more notably the
Feejees. The studies of zoophytes and
coral formations taken from a. depth
OF 1000 fathoms and more also con-
firmed this belief of the subsistence OF
the prehistoric continent. On Pit
cairns Island, and also On Tahiti, and
Tonga-Tabu had been found remains
which showed the existence of long
forgotten tribe. At Tonga-Tabu a
monster trilithon is to be seen. It is
composed of a gray, volcanic stone.
with neatly dressed edges. It is 1Ox12
feet square, and stands twenty feet
out of the ground. It is surmounted
by a huge kava bowl. Capt. Churchill
considers this relic to be Of great arch
geological value. He described the i'm
plements and metals in use by the na-
tives of several of the groups before
the advent Of The white yoyagers, and
Mower County transcript. [volume] (Lansing, Minn.) 1868-1915, 1885-03-18

said that iron and steel were unknown
to them before their discovery by civ
ilized persons. Capt. Churchill gave a
minute description of monolithic stat
ues of stone and sculptured wood
found on Easter Island. The mono
iths were found standing in rows of
five or six, only afew. feet apart. They
were hewn from volcanic rock and were
either very crude in workmanship or
else they had suffered from the ravages
of time. One row of thesestatues was
quite we'll preserved. Each of them
was ten feet high and they represented
human heads and bodies, with a kind
of cap or other head covering on top.
These were the same statues seen and
described by Capt. Cook in his works
on travel and discovery. A finely
sculptured hand of dancing girl and
some polished wooden slabs, on which
were numerous hieroglyphical figures
in long rows, had been discovered in
an ancient and half-ruined stone house
on Easter Island. This was the only
relic of a native written language ever
found in the Pacific Islands.

Reforming Piecemeal.

Franklin tried to be virtuous by
making out g. list of the virtues, says
James Freeman Clarke, and when he
had become an expert in one he took
up the next. But he found it did not
answer. He discovered that character
was formed like the seed in the flower
by development and growth. Never
theless there is much merit in Frank
Inns plan. One with numerous defects
of character cannot overcome them all
at once, if at all. But if they are to
be conquered successfully, the Ma
poleonic tactics of attacking and an
initiating one at time promises the
best results. For instance, g. man
drinks, swears, smokes, gets mad, etc.,
he cannot overcome these vices all at
once The task is too great. The
strain on his will is too exhaustive.
Let him refrain from drinking, then
smoking, then temper, and then pro-
family. Probably bad temper is the
most difficult thing in the world to
conquer, because it usually forms g.
large part of mans inheritance from
birth. But it is so destructive of his
own happiness and others happiness
that it is worth his while to guard it
constantly and to conquer it if pos
sible, though the task seems as great
as changing the color Of ones eyes.
ONE of the curious things disclosed
by the publication of Thomas Jeder-
sons diary is that he paid in one year
500 for washing and 81 ,65s.o4 for
wine.
