The Bee as a patch Bearer.

An experiment has been made In England
which has resulted in proving that bees fly
faster than carrier pigeons; in fact, that the
little, insignificant looking, hot-footed bee can
beat the handsomest pigeon home in five
cases out of six. This being the case, the
future must witness the supplanting of car
rier pigeons by carrier bees. The latter have
much to recommend them for this purpose
A carrier bee will be hard to hit. A marks
man that would bring down carrier pigeon
would utterly fail TO hit bee. Aud then
there is nothing In pigeons tail to inspire
the respect of fne. There is In bees. The
rude hand of The trifler that would try to stop
the carrier bee in bis errand would be with
drawn suddenly, and rubbed vehemently.
With the aid of micro photography, the car.
rying of long messages by a bee would be
matter presenting no obstacles. A column
of reading matter could be fastened to its
thighs and long dispatch affixed to one of
its feet Clearly the bee has an important
place to gil in the wars of the future.

sed, was not the first newspaper published

posed, was not the first newspaper published
in Hartford county, but that Daniel p. Ruff
published the Patriot in Abingdon about
twelve years before the Bond Of Union was
started.
DIR. Archer read a number of interesting
extracts from these newspapers, which to.
gether with the newspapers themselves, will
be preserved in the archives of the society.
One OF these extracts says that the bridge
at Port Deposit was burned on January Sd,
1929, the portion destroyed being on the Har.
ford side the river.
The new Abingdon Academy was opened
on the first Monday in May, 1880. AT that
time there were 10 postofiices in Hartford
comfy.
DIR. Archer also presented two copies of
the pennsylvania Packet" 1777 and 1776,
with interesting extracts therefrom.
The President presented several pamph-
lets and old newspapers. One of thelatter,
the gilt OF Mrs. Samuel s. James, was the
Hartford Visitor, Sept. 4th, 1858, published in
Havre de Grace by George Keatinge. 1t
contains tue levy list for that year, by which
1t appears that the assessable basis of Hartford
county was $7,137,342, and the county tax N
cents on the 800.

A Duke and Not Big Enough.

The late Duke of Buckingham told very
amusing story against himself once In the
House Of Lords apropos to railway matters.
When he joined the London and Northwest
ern board, on the day of the first meeting
after his electioD,he went 10 Euston square to
attend it. He was too early, and on asking
porter who was hanging about where the d.
rectors' room was, lie was told that he had
come too soon, and went away. On return
ing some time later he again found the same
man, who gave him the same information.
After a long interval the duke again came
whether the directors were not sitting. The
man, very much irrtsted at being so often
accosted, looked at him and said there's
no use you coming about place here; you
ar'n't big enough" The duke enjoyed the
joke thoroughly and often spoke Of the incl
dent with great glee.

You will come when my face Is as pale as the

You will come at the close of the long lonely
hours
And show how you loved me-when am not

When the long watch is over and life is no
But why not before, friend Oh, why not be-

You will bring of those flowers the best and the
rRrest
To wave DER my casket In beauty and bloom !:
You will whisper my name mid the proudest
and fairest,
And tell how my going has left you in gloom !;
When nothing can comfort the heart that
Then why not before, friend; oh, why not

You will come to my grave with heart almost
And think of the kind words you oft might
have said
You will wish, oh how keenly. the words could
be spoken
That now cannot Nil the dull ear OF the dead |;
when your voice cannot reach me on Lethe's
Then why not BEFORE friend: oh, why not be-

You will sing OF my songs, you will tell of my

my name;
You will crown my cold brow with the laurel of

When vain is the glory and useless the fame !;
When the poor heart is still and the longing

Her Art.

A lady who had been compelled, through
the loss of her fortune, to give up her beauti-
full home in exchange for a single room in
the fourth story of a house in an unfashion-
able street, was asked why she called her
room her Studio" since she was not an

Because, "she replied, at is up SO high, and
it is where practise my art"
what art :" asked the friend.
1.-THE art of finding great happiness in very

A DAYTON ROMANCE.
the Widow of the Late President of Col
umbia College Once a Flower Girl.

The account of the opening of Bar
nard College, which memorializes the
name of the late President of Columbia
College, recalls a pretty little romance
of long ago. Two score years ago, in
Dayton, Ohio, the custom prevailed of
holding market days several times a
week. There were extensive market
houses" the roofs of which projected tor
six or eight feet, and afforded Il shei or
beneath which the farmers and gar
deners displayed their produce or
sale. Along one end of the nl.sIi.et
house ran principal thoroUghtare
travelled daily by the business and pro-
fessional men of the town. One soft,
sunshiny Spring morning there ap-
peared at the market house flower
girl, selling bouquets. The girl was
young and charming, and spoke with a
pretty French accent The first young
man who passed that way bought a
bouquet. Every one who followed did
likewise. In an hour the first flower
sale that had ever taken place in Day
ton was ended, the stock sold out and
the fair vender disappeared.
Next market day the little maiden
appeared again. She charmed every
one she talked with, but she did not
reveal her identity to any one, and re-
piled to all curious queries with a gen.
tie dignity that was an insurmountable
! barrier
| For two seasons the flower girl lit up
the dingy market house by her bright
presence. One day she was gone.
From that time the place knew her nc
more. Years after one of the young
| ladies who had been a patron of the
fair flower seller was in New York
shopping in Denning's, or, as it was
known then, Stewards. A stranger ap
preached, and, greeting her by bel
maiden name, expressed much pleasure
at the meeting and inquired for Dayton
people.
doubtless you have forgotten me,
said the stranger, ''but you used to bu.
my flowers in the market house. Tha
was long ago. live here now. l an
married. Here is my card

lege.
A subsequent conversation explain
ed the mystery of the flower seller
The father of Mdlle. was exile,
from Paris for political reasons and hi
estates were confiscated. He came t
America and drifted to Dayton, where
in modest cottage in the Frenc
, quarter, he beguiled the term of hi
Punishment by cultivating flowers
, while his little daughter eked out thei
slender living by selling bouquets
After ten years a change in the govern
ment restored in a measure their falle
. fortunes.

The Pampero.

A strange natural phenomenon is the
pampero, a South American storm
wind, which is described by the anthor
of Hearts of Oak" who first made its
acquaintance during a stay at Monte
viedo. A light breeze had been blow
ing from the northeast, but had stead
ly increased in force, and brought with
it the heated air of the tropics, which,
passing over treeless pampa country,
exposed to the burning sun rays OF
clear sky, so warns up the atmosphere
on the shores of the Rio de la Plata
that its effect upon human beings is ex-
ceedinglo bad.
This state of thing generally lasts
for week or longer, until the sitting
heat becomes unbearable and the in
habitants are seen resting in grass
hammocks or lying on bare floors, in
capable of exertion. However, relief
is close at hand. A little cloud mo
bigger than a mans hand' is first seen
to rise above the waters, then the
heavens grow black with clouds, and
the battle of opposing winds begins.
The pampero advances with its artil-
lery well in front; forked flashes OF
vivid lightning, followed by peals OF
CnuuOeT, DedI uOWu upon IuO AoO, w NhC'
quite up to the moment of attack, is
fercely discharging it's fiery breath on
the surrounding regions. The inhab-
itants now climb on the azoteas, OF
fat roofs, to watch the struggle and tc
be the first to participate in the de,
licious relief brought by the pampero
to their fevered bodies.
Far out on the river curious sight
may be seen; the opposing waves
raised by the rival winds, meet like I
rush of cavalry in wild career; theil
white horses with foaming crests dasi
themselves against each other and senC
clouds of dazzling spray high in the air
this being backed by an inky sky rem
ders the scene most imposing.
Gradually the northeaster gives away
followed closely by its enemy, the pam
pero, which throws out skirmishin:
currents of ice-cold wind in advance O
its final onslaught. Then comes a roa
of the elements, and deluge such a
no one would willingly encounter, an
cooler weather is established for tn
time being.
