A Bee Superstition.

Says an English exchange: The in.

Geeston, in Rutland, Of the supersti-
ton that bees will not remain after a,
death In the house Of their owner, es.
pecially of the owner himself, unless
an intimation be given to them Of the
fact, might be multiplied indefinitely.
for it prevails over a considerable nor.
ton of England. In the case men.
toned, the widow knocked at the bee.
hives n after the other. repeating
eachtimes the formula, eHe's gone. has
gone" and as the bees hummedsine re-
Iplyit was understood that they accept
ed the news and would stay. In Here
fordshire it Is considered suficient I'D.
tie 9 piece OF Grape to q stick set ia
front OF the hives, and IN tther
counties those y similar precautions
are always observed by persons who.
would not lose their bees. It Is DIM

A Puzzle with Letters.

Some time since students at the Bos-
ton Institute of Technology designed a
puzzle which is quite interesting. Civ
en- two words of an equal number OF
letters, the problem is to change one
to the other by altering one letter ut q
time of the first SO as to make a legiti.
mate English word continuing the al.
terations until the desired result is at
tanned. The conditions are that only
one letter shall be altered to form each
new word. and that none but words
which ear be found in the English
dictionaries shall be used. Here 9
some examples of the changes:
East to West.-East, vast, vest.
west.
Dog to cat.-Dog, dig, fig, fit, fat,
cat.
Soup to Fish.-Soup. soul, soil, foil,
fowl, foot. coo., cost. cast, fast, fist.

The Man on the Bridge.

"A gentleman recently established in
business in Paris. and formerly an Of
hcer in the United States Army dur
ing the civil war, told me the follow
ing story: He was with his regiment
on duty in (I think Tennessee, and
was informed n day that the newly
appointed commander of that division
OF the army was to arrive that day,
and would take possession of his com
mand the next morning. Early on the
following morning the officer CHANGED
to be standing on the bank of a stream
near where the forces were encamped.
When he saw on the other side Of the
water a sandy bearded man on horse
back, with a cigar between his teeth.
who was endeavoring to force his
morse to cross a narrow wooden bridge
that was thrown. across the stream.
The bridge had no ratings, and the
planks were slippery with frost, SO
that the passage presented a certain
amount of danger. The officer called
to the stranger not to cross. He still
persisted in trying to induce his horse
to go over the bridge, when the other
waxing wroth at his obstinacy shouted:
''Turn back, you-adjective-fool |
Do you want to ges ducked or get
drownedP Don't you see the bridge
is as slippery as glass? ?" The stranger.
who wore a common blue army over
coat, raised his cap, turned around
and galloped away. What was the
officers horror a few hours later, when,
at the review of the troops by their
new commander, he recognized in the
stranger General Grant. AT the close
of the review the General sent for him
and addressed him as follows: "You
are the person who prevented me from
%venturing on the bridge this morning,
Colonel X---, are you notY' An af-
frmative response was given with a
sinking heart. II wished to tell o
that I am very much obliged to you.
You saved me from committing a
very silly and foolhardy action, and
probably also from an unpleasant
drenching." "Apd that" concluded
the Colonel, twas my first introduction
to General Grant."-Phtzadezphia Tel
