A MINE OF HONEY.
Blasting with Giant Powder and secur-
Ing Several Hundred Pounds.

Down at Temescal, San Bernardino
county, Cal, near the famous San
Jacinto tin mine, there is veritable
mine o: honey. There is a large force
of men employed at the tin mine and
they put in their idle time in prospect
ing in the hills in the vicinity. One
Sunday half dozen of the miners ap-
piled to Col. Robinson. the superinten-
dent for the privilege of using some
giant powder and few tools. He
asked what they wanted to do and
they replied that they had found a
honey mine and proposed to tap it
Laughing, he gave his consent and an
order on che storekeeper for the de-
sired articles, and with a supply OF
pals and tubs the men set out on their
expedition.
They were gone all day and along
toward shutdown sorry-looking pro-
cession came over the hill and made
its way to the employees headquarters.
They had tapped the mine. there could
be no question about that Their clothes
were literally plastered with mixture
of honey and mud; there was honey
everywhere. But the tubs and buck
cts were full of honey as well, for
rich lead had indeed been struck.
The men, it appeared, had found
crevice in the rocks whence issued a
constant stream of bees. and from this
they judged that there must be large
quantity of honey in the recesses of
the cliff. The opening used by the
bees was too small to admit OF the
passage Of human being, and after
carefully examining the place tun-
mel was commenced little way from
the entrance, and after this had been
run the right distance an upraise was
put in, which by good luck struck the
ledge Of honey in its center. After a
not contest with the bees several hun
dred pounds Of comb honey were TAX
en- out and the tunnel was then closed
up. Several times since additional
supplies of the sweet material have
been taken from the cave. Chicago

THE vAssAR HAMMER.
Women MAY Use II op Lodges Worth
Exam In alton.


One Of the most famous mineralogi-
cal cabinets In the country is that Of
Mrs. Erminie Smith, Of Jersey City,
and there is the collection in Brooklyn
that Miss Anna Meeker has made for
herself and by herself, to show what
women can do in that direction. Tie
excursions of the New York Mineral
ogical Club and the meteorological de-
partment Of the Brooklyn institute to
localities of interest in the neighbor-
hood Of the metropolis are always ac-
| companied by wives, sisters, daugh-
tiers, cousins and aunts OF the mem
bers who not unfrequently form ma
jority Of the party; and they climb the
lodges as quickly and go at them with
hammers as vigorously as the men.
The pursuit OF minerals, II it is fair
to talk Of pursuing things that have
not the remotest notion Of running
away, has every bit the fascination of
botanical research and the surprises
are even livelier. 1t Is. OF course, de-
lightful to run to earth and then to
pull out OF 1t the flower or weed or fern

Of the pleasure there is in tapping a

crack and splinter--there is dusty
fall. a hasty gathering up Of skirts and
a stepping aside to avoid the descend

posed face of stone, is pocket OF
glittering crystals, shining in the sun
like diamonds or stained by metallic
oxides with beautiful reds, browns and
yellows. Next to finding money or
continents there is no pleasure of dis
covery that is keener.
The common objection raised by
most Of those who would like to en-
gage in this employment is that they
know nothing about minerals" But
that is the way to learn--to take a
basket and hammer and break miner
ala and look at them. An hour OF
that practice is better than a week
with teAt books. The outfit is slight
enough--a basket or sstchel, several
squares of paper or smsll grocery bags
for wrapping the specimens, note

To s,rnighten the shoulders.

A contemporary says that those who
have round shoulders may make them
selves shapely and healthy If they will
but bestow a little trouble and perse-
verance on the process. This consists
in going through the simple and easily
performed process OF raising ones self
upon the toes leisurely I'M perpendic-
ular position several times day. A
perfectly upright position must be
taken, with the heels together and
the toes at an angle of forty five de-
grees. The arms must be dropped
lifelessly by the side perfectly relaxed;
the chest must be raised to its full
muscular capacity, and the chin will
be drawn in. The :'urther instructions
are TO slowly rise up on the balls Of
the feet to the greatest possible height,
thereby exercising all the muscles of
tho legs and the body; then to come
into standing position without sway
ing the body backward out of the per-
feet line. Repeat this exercise per-
sistently, and good effects will soon be
noticed. Courier Journal.

the Spaniards speak of them as giants
and their strength and endurance were
SO great that they were conquered by
strategem, but not force. They ran as
fast as horses and could leap over a
pole held between two men five or six
feet high; they could climb the highest
mountains and jump the deepest re-
vines.
Their endurance as swimmers was

conquest before rapine and murder
had done their vile work, the
Guanches are spoken OF as being must

Though SO strong physically, the
Guanches were nevertheless a very
gentle race; they rarely made war on
one another, and when the Europeans
fell into their hands they did not kill
them, but sent them to tend sheep In
the mountains. So tame were the birds

was allowed TO approach the shambles,
and in such horror was killing held by
these gentle giants that no man could
be ennobled until he had publicly de-
clared that he had not been guilty OF
killing any animal, not ever a goat.
Their standard Of morality was high;
they were monogamists, and adultery
was punished by Imprisonment and
death; robbery was almost unknown
among them. and drunkenness not
yet invented. The Guanches were
bound by law TO treat women with the
greatest respect and man was
obliged to make way for every woman

and deferentially to escort her home

celebrated as having been beautiful
but they were almost as agile and
strong as the men. Even in war the
women and children were protected,
and pillage was forbidden.

DOMESTIC DISCIPLINE.
How q Was hington Husband Gave his
Wife q Lesson.

A certain woman of fashion con
spicuous in Washington society, whose
infirmity of temper has given rise tc
very interesting gossip occasionally
says the Phila Press, figures in {
quaint little story.
A short time ago she was entertain.
ing at supper lady OF her acquaint.
ance, when it CHANGED that there was
placed upon the table small pot OF
chocolate. The hostess OF the occa-
sion is very fond of the beverage in
question, partaking Of it every evening
of her life. Unfortunately, the SER
want had neglected to make more than
the usual quantity which was just
about sufficient for q single cup. Ac-
cordingly, when the guest was asked
II she would have some she hesitated
moment and said no. Whereupon
her entertainer flushed with anger at
the contretemps, and, rising from her
seat deliberately poured the contents
of the chocolate pot out Of the window.
This was embarrassing for the lady
entertained, to say the least of it
or course, however, she pretend
ed to take no notice, merely glancing
slyly at her host, who made the third
person at the repast to see IL he
evinced any consciousness respecting
the proceeding. But he only smiled
beneath his mustache and made no
remark.
Presently he asked her IL she would
have some chicken salad OF which "a
big dishful made the principal feature
among the viands. ...r
II thank you, no." she replied,
merely because she had a preference
for something else.
Immediately, as il it were matter
Of course, the host picked up the
salad and threw it dish and all, out
through the window into the garden.
'It's way we have here" he re-
marked calmly. ....
Nobody said anything for quite
five minutes afterward. but the ex-
IRENE amiability exhibited by the
hostess for the rest of the evening, led
the visitor to imagine that the lesson
thus given was not without a certain
domestic usefulness.
