badly Used Up by Bees.

Mr.. George Murray, a teacher It the
Colliery board schools, Option, with the
assistance of one or two other gentle
men, was preparing to carry some half
dozen hives OF bees from the Colliery
farm to the fells at Waskerley. During
the process of packing them In a cart
the bottom fell off one of the hives, and,
as a natural consequence, the bees came
buzzing out and stung Mr.. Murray and
his companions, as well as singing the
horse attached to the cart. The animal
bolted away in fright. Hundreds of
bees found their way out of the remain
der of the hives, and not only stung the
occupants of the cart and the horse in a
dreadful manner, but the insects also
fastened themselves upon a number of
school children who were having n ride
through the village on a hay cart. Mr..
Murray and his companion CMr. ELLIOTT
were left lying on the ground in an ex-
hausted and almost unconscious state,
and the horse was so badly injured by
the insects stings that it fell down upon
the road and succumbed the same night.
Mr.. Murray was also confined to his bed
for some time, but ON Saturday he was
reported to be much better. The rest
appear to be veIy little worse.-Pal

The Cotton Worms.

That one drug house in Vicksburg
should receive orders for fifteen tons, or
10000 pounds, of paris green in one day
demonstrates the extent of the appre-
hension felt by cotton planters concern
ing the cotton worms in the large area
of country tributary to Or trading with
that city. With the cotton worms ap
parently so formidable in their second
generation, the third generation, which
forms q vast increase over its progeni-
tors, may do very serious damage. 1t is
extremely unfortunate, if it be true, that
the available supply of paris green has
been already exhausted. 1t is likely that
far more than the amount already used
will be needed. Where these pests are
unchecked by poison, in their third gen.
Grafton, they have been known to raw
age cotton fields and leave the stalks as
bare of foliage in the latter part of Au-
gust and September as they are in early
February before being pulled up and
burned, preparatory to the planting of a
new crop.-New Orleans Times-Demo-

There is about modern Mohammedan-
ism, at least of the military type, moth
ing of the uncertainty and shillyshally
with which modern Christianity is some
times r~eproached. The prophet under
stood the natural man of Asiatio and
African races perfectly we'll, and his
mode Of procedure is still fully justified
with them. He did not, like some un-
wise fanatics, promise universal victory,
invulnerableness, or anything of the
kind. The followers of the Khalifa are
quite aware that they may be collective
ly defeated and individually killed. But
that does not interfere either with their
certainty of the ultimate success of their
cause, with their sense of the duty of
offering conversion, tribute or the sword,
or with their enjoyment of the comfort
able prospects of the martyred believer.

dumas. Method or conaboratIon.

There is no doubt Dumas had a reg
ular system of collaboration, which
he never concealed. But whereas
Dumas could turn out books that live,
whoever his assistants were, could any
of his assistants write books that live
without Dumas2 Upon my word, n
might as well call any barrister in
good practice a thief and an impostor
because he has juniors to ''deviP for
him, as make charges of this kind
against Dumas. He once asked his
son to help him; the younger Alexan-
DIRE declined. 1T is worth a thousand
a year, and you have only to make
objections" the sire urged. But the
son was not to be tempted. Some ex-
cellent novelists of today would be
much better if they employed a friend
TO make objections. But, as a rule,
the collaboration did much more. Du-
mas method, apparently, was first to
talk the subject over with his aid-de-
camp. This is an excellent practice,
as ideas are knocked out like sparks

Mahlon D. Turk, of Obey, six miles
from this city, is the owner of five large
fish dams. OF late he has beer greatly
troubled by the depredations of fish
hawks, which have made frequent de-
scents upon his fish preserves, where
swim some 5000 or 1000 German carp of
various sizes. The other day, intending
to abate the nuisance somewhat if posi-
BILE, he took down his shotgun, and with
a supply of buckshot secreted himself in
the bushes beside one of the dams. Pres
emily an enormous bird scared overhead,
and after circling around slowly three
times made a rapid descent into tho
pond. Just as it emerged from the water
with a fish in its talons Mr.. Turk let
drive at it with n load Of buckshot and
killed it instantly. Instead of being a
fish hawk, as he supposed, it proved to
be a bald eagle, and measured 8 feet 6
inches from tip to tip of its wings

m. Indian Problem No, Yet solved.

The Indian Problem Not Yet Solved.
While we congratulate the people OF
the whole northwest, and especially the
citizens OF Dakota, on the consummation
OF their long desire, the opening of the
reservation by no means puts an end to
the Indian problem as far as the Sioux
are concerned On the contrary, 1t is
scarcely more than the beginning. Only
a part Of the reserve is acquired by the
government; and h same questions will
doubtless arise in future, as to hat part,
which have proved so vexatious in rela-
koa to the whole. No settlement can
ever be regarded as final which stops
short of the absolute allotment of lands
in seyeralty n the adding Of all that
remains to the public domain. Again.
it seems as If the government were mere
ly abandoning one posture of the guar
dian and ward" attitude in order to as
sumo another. The reservation system,
with its issue Of rations and consequent
tendencies toward idleness and vice, has
scarcely a friend remaining. Yet we
have only the same thing in another
form in the practice of accommodating inn
mense cash funds for the benefit of the
Indian, to be held in trust by the nation,
while interest is paid regularly to the
beneficiary. The purchase of these lands
by the nation means a permanent invest
ment in trust for the Indian. And it is
not according to nature that a quarterly
payment to him of so many dollars in
cash as interest will be any less democrat
izing than the issue of so many blankets
and so many pounds of flour, beef and
pork.-St. Paul Pioneer-Press.

A Snake voudous n Chicken.

A farmer in the upper portion of this
county was aroused one night not long
since by the squalling of u hen or her
roost in cluster OF vines near the house.
Going out, the hen was apparently trans
fixed with fright and helpless in her
movements. A large snake was found
near by with eyes evidently set upon his
prey. The hen continued her squalls
without moving, as if in n nightmare,
till the snake was killed, when she fell
from her perch, recovering and flying
away, but has since been in a droop.-

Jersey Mosquitoe. A.tray in Japan.

sonous butterfly. To touch one of them
causes the flesh to itch, and if scratched
to swell and remain swollen for a very
long time. In daylight, he says, they do
not make their appearance, but at twi-
light they swarm into the houses. With

now burned at the entrances of houses

stroy them.-Mainichi Shimbun.
