Prince Bismarck Is no elegant orator,
rather the contrary, but lie can Lead i
debate like no one else. Only few days
ago he spoke seven times il one after
noon. each time with more energy and
spirit. proving that his health Is indeed
restored. Several members had already
spoken and the house was still empty,
when suddenly members hled ia from all
the doors, and the benches began 70 fill.
A rumor had been circulated that Bis
marck would appear, and shortly after
ward narrow door near the presidents
chair opened, and the tall figure entered.
Suddenly soft bells are heard ii All parts
of the house. The electric bells In the
reading room, In the committee rooms
and nfh6 journalists rooms are sounded
TO announce the arrival Of the chancellor,
who has shown that he will speak pres
emily, for with one Of his pencils, more
than foot long, he has noted down
something On the loose quarto sheet be-
fore him, with letters not less than an
inch deep, and this is q safe sign that he
intends speaking.
The president bows to him and Prince
Bismarck rises to take the word He
Is certainly more than six feet high !;
over mis- powerful chest and broad Shout
ders rises strangely rounded, WELL
shaped head Of enormous dimensions
and with no hair upon it. SO that IL looks
like dome OF polished ivory. Thick
white br0ws hang over his eyes like two
lcicles. These brows give his face q
dark and frown1ng expression, and the
look which glistens in bis eyes is cold
and somewhat cruel at least in patlias
ment, His moustachei Is also thick and
gray, and eonceals the mouth entirely.
The whole face is covered with folds
and wrinkles, broad rings surround bis
eyes, and even his temples are covered
With small rings.
When he begins to speak the color Of
his face changes from pale to red, and
gradually assumes a light bronze shade,
which gives his powerful skull the ap-
pearanco Of polished metal. It Is sur
prise to hear Bismarck speak FOR the tirst
time. The soft, almost weak, voice ID
out OF all proportion with his gigantic
frame. il sometimes becomes so soft that
we fear It will die out altogether. and
when he has spoken for awhile IL grows
hoarse.
The chancellor sometimes speaks very
fast, sometimes very slowly, but never IN
9 loud tone. He has no pafhos Whatever.
Some Of his most remarkable words,
which in print look as il they had been
spoken with full force, As Il they must
have had the effect Of q sudden thunder
bolt on the audience. are ia reality emit
ted ID an ordinary tone Of weIl-bred con-
versakion.

A wonderful History.

Fifty years ago there was boy
in Africa who was taken prisoner
in one Of the fierce wars between
the tribes, and was carried of from
home TO be sold as a slave. First,
sold tor horse. Then the buyer
thought him bad exchange for q
horse, and compelled his master TO
TO take him back This was also
called a bad bargain by the man
who had bought him, and he was
returned, to be sold for tobacco,
with the same result. Nobody
wanted the poor, miserable slave
boy, who wac on the point OF COM
mitting suicide, when he was pur-
chased by Portuguese trader, and
carried away on q slave ship. How
little that wretched boy knew what
the future had in store for him, as
be lay chained in the hold Of the
crowded slave ship. But one OF
New England's war ships that was
clearing the high seas OF the slavers,
bore down upon the Portuguese
vessel, rescued the captives, and the
African boy was placed under Chris
tian influences and educated, and
to-day be is Bishop Crother, Eng
lands black bishop in Africa.

HiyfnS Bees

Some apiarists practice clipping
one wing Of each queen. Then
when q swarm issues from the hive,
she cannot follow. but crawls about
upon the ground in front of the hive.
The bse-keeper catches. cages, and
lays her aside in the shade, moves
the old hive 10 q new location, and
by the time the swarm has decided
to return, because it had 10 queen,
he has a new hive similar IN appear
ance to the old one, upon the old
stand, and the bees, taking it tor
their old home, enter 1t, and while
they are going in, the queen Is allow
ed to run in with them Thus the
bees hive themselves without being
allowed to ever cluster. An oblec-
ton to this method Is, that queens
are sometimes lost in the grass.
When a swarm Of bees returns, it
may enter the wrong hive, and if it
makes no mistake in this direction,
it occasionally clusters all over the
outside of the hive. and remains
there long time before entering.
If the queen Is allowed to enter the
hive too soon, she may come out
agaid, thinking, perhaps, that she
has not 'swsrmed, and the bees
follow. There are some indications
that clipped queens are regarded BY
the bees with dissatisfaction, and are
thus more liable TO be superseded.
A queen that is lost can often be
found by looking for the little knot
of bees that usually accompanies her
If a swarm attempts to enter the
wrong hive, a sheet can be thrown
over the hive. If queen Is not Civ
on to a swarm until the bees begin
70 show signs of uneasines, she Is
not apt 70 leave the hive. When the
queen is unelipped, a swarm will
usually soon cluster upon the branch
of some tree. As the cluster begins
to form, il should be noticed wheth-
er It i II a favorable location for re-
movaL IT 1t Il, where several
branches cross, some Of them
should be cut away with the knife
or pruning shears, leaves but one
branch for the bees to cluster upon.
If the bees are slow in clustering,
and more swarms are momeniarily
expected their movements can be
hastened BY sprinkling them with
water, using a fountain pump.

Advice TO swea<ers.

Nobody cares for the swearing of
an habitual swearer. His volleys
OF profanity have no terror in them.
They mean nothing. 1t Is the man
who never swears that seares you
out Of your boots if once in life
time be does swear. SO far as We
can learn, Washington only swore
once during the eight years OF the
the revolutionary war. But that
one time counted. 1t set back the
tide of retreat, changed defeat IN
to victory. and made things hum.
But the fellow who swears on all
occasions, and swears not and cold
with the same mouth, the intellect
ual pauper who ekes out his barren
supply of ideas with an abundant
crop of profanity, whose conversa-
ton is long chain OF mill priYi-
leges, and who talks ike beaver
works; his swearing Is weak, tire
some and disgusting. So, if you
want to swear with any effect, my
boy, be very seldom about it. Be
exclusive in your profanity. Ii you
can't get along without it, bring 1t

And-you won't be offended, my
man-but if you VIII observe more
closely you viii perceive that young
men, boys, hedglings Of about your
age, swear more than men-more
frequently, more swkwsrdly. with
less point and direction. A man
becomes ashamed Of it. Ii belongs
TO the cigarette and matinee period
Of life, my boy. 1t Is a habit that
hourishes in the bread-and-buttsr

You remember in the Book Of
Kings the Judgment of Solomon,
which has always been admired as
proof OF great legal wisdom among
the Jews | must confess that. not
having a legal mind, / never could
suppress q certain shudder when
reading the decision of Solomon.
" Divide the child in two. and give
half TO the one and half to the 9TH
er." Let me now tell you the same
story as it is told by the Buddhist,
whose sacred Canon Is full Of such
legends and parallels. In the Kan
jur, which Is the Tibetau translation
OF the Buddhist Tripitaka, We like
wise read Of two women who claim
ed to be each the mother Of the
same child. The King, after listen
ing to their quarrels for long time,
gave IT up as hopeless to settle who
was the real mother. Upon this
Visakha stepped forward and said:
: What Is the use of examining aud
eross-examining these women? Let
them take the boy and settle It
among themselves" Thereupen
both women fell on the child, and
when the tight became violent the
child was hurt and began to cry.
Then one Of them let him 60, be-
cause she could not bear to hear the
child cry. That settled the quees-
ton The King gave the child to
the true mother, and had the other
beaten with a rod. This seems to
me, if not the more primitive, yet
the more natural form of the story,
showing a deeper knowledge Of hu-
man nature and more wisdom than
even the wisdom of Solomon.-Hdr
