FLOODED WITH HONEY.
The Curious Experience of a California
Congregation.

Congregation.
San Francisco Chronicle
Whoever heard of church being flooded
with honey? The very idea sounds ridiculous
and in any other place than California would
excite only smile of incredulity. We have
all heard about places that flowed with milk
and honey" and metaphorcal reference to
the 'droppngs of the sanctuary" are familiar,
but it has remained for swarm of bees to
Z make literal facts Of these familiar metaphors.
1t appears that a lot Of vagrant bees, while
In search of a suitable home, found an admir-
able location in the loft of an Episcopalian
church in Tulare County Here, having an
abundance of space, they multiplied and IN
creased and at the same time laid in a large
store of honey. Great white combs were at
tached to the rafters overhead and were built
downward and added TO until hundreds of
pounds of sweetness were hidden away in the
delicate white waxen cells.
One contingency, however, was not provided
against, and indeed was not expected. The
normal temperature in the contracted pro-
portions of the loft was of character admir-
ably suited for the best advantage of the bees
and had that temperature continued this story
would never have been written.
1t is almost unnecessary to remind the reader
that a week or two ago California was visited
with something bearing a remarkable likeness
to sirocco In word it was hot-deucedly
hot.
In the loft of the church where the bees were
holding high carnival the temperature rose
and rose until it reached the melting point.
Wax gave way beneath the torrid heat, and,
now, down the rafter, along the scantlings,
over the laths and down the joists began to
flow streams of liquid sweetness. They found
~crevices here and there, and soon altar, pulpit,
chancel, furniture, prayer books, and all the
belongings OF the interior of the sacred edifice
were treated 10 such deluge as the world had
never seen. Efforts were made to stay the
sticky tide, but these were only partially sue
cessful, and before anything could be done the
interior of the church was sight to behold,
and damage had been done that required ex-
pense and hard work to remedy.

1t Lives ON Money.

Macon, Ga Telegraph.
DR.. L. B. Clifton, the scientist, told his
friends the other day something that aston
ished them. BY means OF a microscope of
high magnifying power he has detected pc
culiar parasite that infects paper money. 1t
is found nowhere else, and though It is in
visible to the unessisted eye, the small crea-
ture multiplies at surprising rate, and is
very numerous. DR.. Clifton counted 5000 Of
them on an old $5 bill.
He said the money parasite is an acarus,

clumsy legs and a sharp bill. 1t is never
known to leave the paper on which it lives,

No Doubt About 1t.

San Francisco Argonaut.
A gentleman spending few days in Wash
ington called on his Congressman, who is also
his townsman. The conversation turning upon
home matters and home people, the constituent
asked if it was true that MIR, department
clerk from their county, was going to marry
an heiress. The Congressman said the en-
gagement had been announced. SIS it love
match ?'' asked the constituent, "or is he go
ing to marry her for money?n "Going to
marry her for money, of course,'' answered the
Congressman, ''and he makes no secret of it,
either. l heard him speak of her as his
financee, right out in a crowd the other day."

The Cow Got Drunk.

Los Angeles PTogress,
Some days ago one of our countrymen, who
lives at Pasadena, was astonished to see one
of his best cows lying apparently dying in
front of the barn The animal lay inert, with
open eyes, obliVious of everything. The man
called veterinary surgeon, who could dag
nose the case, and a butcher was sent for to
bleedthe animal. He was some time in arriving,
and when he did come the COW was found
eating at haystaek, but with legs little un-
certain. An investigation followed, and 1t was
found that the cow had eaten copiously of the
refuse at neighboring winery. This stuff,
composed Of grape skins and stems, had fer
mented and induced a state of intoxication.

THE determination OF the Rock

will be an event Of great commercial
Importance to this state. That road
is the rival of the other great trunk
lines now traversing this state, and
is too important in itself ever to be-.
come a mere feeder of the others
This is the road that it was expected
would come into San Antonio four
years ago when an effort was made
for northwest extension into the
Panhandle; and, had that ex.
tension been built at that time
there would be direct COM
munication today between this city
and the grain fields of northwest
Texas, the road would have made its
gulf connection in the west end of the
gulf and San Antonio would be now
city of $4,000 population. 1t is not
stated where the gulf terminus of the
road will now be made, but in all
probability at the mouth of the
BrazOs river as the Rock Island is
looking for an outlet to deep water.

THE democratic free trade journals
not long since We're making moons of
their faces, so broadly were they
smiling over the reciprocity policy of
Mr.. Blaine, which they declared was
only free trade in another form. The
reciprocity idea grows and the free
trade tendency of it is invisible. AS
consequence the jubilation is re-
strained and the real animus of the
free trade organs to reciprocity be-
comes apparent. Commenting on
this phase of the question the New
York Sun remarks:
when the reciprocity pan and
programme were put forth by Mr..
Blaine, the Free-Traders very gener.
ally hailed the new policy with
shouts Of triumph. They pretended to
find in it evidence that the Secretary
OF State was coming over to their
ground and was already about half
way to Free-Trade. Why is 1t. then.
that every apparently successful
movement in the direction pointed.
out by Mr.. Blaine is misrepresented
and ridiculed by the Free-Trade or
gans, while every seeming rebuff or
difficulty in the way of extending
American trade is magnified and
dwelt upon with evident joy by these
same enemies of the Protective Tar
