ste&dilysst work. No further arrests
hsve been reported to the coal snd iron
police headquarters in this city, though
the officers are working up every possible
clew, and expect 10 effect some captures
during the day. The difficulty Of iden,I-

embarrasses the efforts of the police.

only among the general public, bat also
among the more conservative and intell'-

The leaders'here evidently appreciate the
seriousness of the injury TO their cause,

A writer in the american Bee
Journal relates the following Incl
dent in the introduction OF queens,
which shows the filial instinct in
this wonderful little insect: "Last
fall, while putting my colonies in
order for wintering, they were car
ried, one by one, few yards from
the summer stands, and the frames
removed, boxes cleaned, etc., the
bees adhering to one hive were
poured on the ground with the scra-
pings from the bive and the queen
with them. Shortly after the colony
had been replaced upon it's stand
robbipg bcgan,thus indicating some
thing wrong with the queen. Her
hive was closed until sundown and
visited early the next morning.
light frost having fallen-when it
occurred to me that the queen might
be found where the bees had been
poured out the morning before
about twenty-four hours previous;
and there, to my amazement, was
cone-shaped cluster of bees as large
as q teacup, and in the center Of it
was the queen, cold and stiff Upon
taking her to fire, in few minutes
she was restored to activity, and, on
lifting the cushion over the bees and
presenting her, the first thing, even
before she lef. the finger, a bee gave
her to eat;" and tbereupon, almost
instantly, joyful hum passed thro'
the hive: and quicker than 1t can be
told, dead bees were carried ont, and
defensive warfare against robbers
began.
The fidelity exhibited IN protect
ing their mother on that frosty night
and the JOY manifested on her safe
return home, are worthy of our imi-
tation. ~

BOYS LEISURE HOURS.

A boy was employed in a lawyers
office, and he had the daily paper to
amuse himself with. He began to
study French, and at the little desk
became a fluent reader and writer Of
the French language.
A coachman was often obliged to
wait long hours while his mistress
made calls. He determined to i'm
prove his time. He found small
volume containing the Eclogues OF
Virgil, but could not read, it, so he
purchased a Latin grammar Day
by day he studied this, and finally
mastered it's intricacies. His mis-
tress came behind him one day as
he stood by the horses waiting fer
her, and asked him what he was so
intently reading "Only bit of
Virgil my lady," She mentioned
this to her husband, who insisted
that David should have teacher to
instruct him. In few years David
became learned man, and was for
many years a useful and beloved
minister Of Scotland.
A boy was told to open and shut
the gates to let the teams out of an
iron mine. He sat on log all day
by the side of the gate. Sometimes
an hour would pass before teams
came, and this he employed SO well
that there was scarcely fact in his
tory that escaped his attention. He
began with little book on English
History that he found on the read.
Having learned that thoroughly, he
borrowed Of a minister "Goldsmith's
History of Greece" This good man
became greatly interested in him,
and lent him books, and was often
seen sitting by him on the log, con.
versing with him about the people
of ancient times. Boys, it will pay
to use your leisure hours well.

nine relative that the feet which had
attracted his attention had been cov
cred by q shoe with q padded instep.
He was also told that all ladies lik-
ed to have high instep; that it is
considered almost q requisite Of
beauty.
In order to ascertain how such
fictitious amendments to the work
Of nature were accomplished, and
how generally the practice of pad
ding insteps was carried on, visit
of inquiry was paid to one of the big
shoe stores on Sixth avenue. A
philosophical lady floor-walker was
quite willing to tell all she knew
about it. "Of course, all ladies like
to have high instep," she said,
sand we can and do furnish them to
to the order of those to whom ma
ture has given fiat. ungainly foot.
How is it done Simply enough, !
assure you. When lady has her
feet measured for pair of shoes, al
lowance is made for a certain
amount of fullness across the instep
and high, upward and very stiff
curve is made between the heel and
the ball of the foot, the heel being
made high and set well forward. A
little pad of double thickness Of
sheepskin, between which is . stuff
ing of felt or cotton, is then placed
on the instep, the shoe is drawn on
over it, and when il is buttoned the
wearer has as high an instep as she
could wish for. A year or so ago
we had many calls for shoes made
in this way, but lately the rage for
them has considerably moderated.
sThe cleveland Oxford, made af-
ter model sent by Mrs. Cleveland
to Massachusetts manufacturer, is
one Of the summer styles. 1t has
patent leather foxing, with an mp
per of undressed calf. This has the
high heel and arch sole, which make
the instep high, but it is said not to
be an uncomfortable shoe by any
means, as the instep pad is not used
in them"

BRooDING OVER AILMENTS.

If you are sick or ailing, don't de-
pend too much on the medicine you
take or the remedies you take to ef-
feet cure. Tonics and alternatives
are of great use, but attention to the
rules of hygiene, mental as we'll as
physical. will make them more effi-
cacious. In the first place don't
give up too easily; have courage;
exert your will power; don't brood
over your aches and pains and symp-
toms, but try and forget them; and
the chances arc that you will forget
them so thoroughly that when by
accident you do remember them it
will only be to wonder where they
are. If the worst comes, and you
must give up, then do so gracefully
and thoroughly, keep hopeful, and
SO order all pertaining to your mind
as well as your body, that the best
results may be obtained from the
remedies used.
Halfthe sufferings of nervous peo-
pie come from brooding over their
ailments until imagination gets the
upper hand. Nine times out of ten
all their symptoms would disappear
if they would pay strict attention to
their diet; have it light and nutri-
tious, and avoid stimulants altogeth-
er-even tea and coffee; bathe daily,
using friction with a brush or tow
ell; take plenty of outdoor exercise,
whether the weather be pleasant or
not; and try to forget the nerves in
pleasant reading or pleasant com
panionship-not exciting company,
to irritate-or in congenial work;
and if work they must, and it be not
congenial, then let them do it ''by
Gods law" thoroughly and con-
scientiously; and you will be aston
ished to find how the sun will seem
brighter, the icy wind less cold, the
noises less irritating and their
friends much pleasanter, when in re-
atty it is all in themselves-they
are only taking brighter views Of
life, and not vauselessly irritating
themselves and others around them.

The story was finished and the pa

John: "Take these letters to the

letters safely, saw no reason for

game of marbles before returning to
his work. When he entered the
store again Mr.. Willis made no CON-
ment on his tardiness, but remarked,
"Well, John, I've almost learned my
lesson"
John stared. "What lesson, sir"
"Why, the one you've been teach
ing me lately"
John was more puzzled than ever,
and oil day long lie wondered what
lesson he could possibly teach Mr..
Willis. The next morning Johns
work was done as speedily. and no
better than the day before. Mr.. Will

corners that John thought nobody
