TIRED OF MOTHER.

One of the Saddest Scenes Portrayed on
the Screen of Time.
A visitor inspecting the charities of a
manufacturing town in England came
at last to the home for old ladies. Be

If he were to build such an inn for tired
souls while they waited the coming Of

Of quiet woods or gay and friendly
flowers. This home looked out on dusty
streets and brick-yards.
Within the managers had fulfilled
their duty. Each inmate had half of a
clean, bare chamber bed. a chest of
drawers and a chair. She was given so
| many ounces of meat and bread for
breakfast, of meat and potatoes for din
ner, of bread and apple-sauce for tea.
The food never varied throughout the
year. The house was kept spotlessly
clean, yet there was in it a flavor of de-
cay and hopeless sadness. The with

Riots.

The Ubiquitous Tariff the Cause OF Labor
Riots.
In 1883 the republicans were able to
concentrate their forces in New York
and Indiana and leave the other states
to take care of themselves
New York and Indiana are still es-
sential, but besides they will have to
fight vigorously to hold their own in
Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Mich
igan, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and
New Hampshire.
These facts, taken in connection with
recent political occurrences, pnt new
spirit into the democratic party all over
the country and give more than rea-
sonable assurance of success.
Four years ago the country was not
ready for the tariff issue. Thousands
hesitated, and the republicans insisted
that it was wise to "let well enough
alone"
Given power they reconstructed the
tariff on new basis; increased the tax
es of the poor and the bounties of the
rich, plundered the farmer, paid a bonus
for the formation of trusts, squandered

flowers are required to supply one pound
of honey?" said naturalist About
two and half millions is a fair esti-
mate Think what vast amount Of
sentsi However. there are other Great
ures besides bees that gather honey.
For example, there is the 'honey~wasp'
Of tropical America and the honey
ing ant of Texas and New Mexico.
The latter is very abundant in the
neighborhood Of Santa Fe, and the
sweets It collects are highly esteemed
by the Mexicans, not only as q food,
but for medicinal purposes There Is
an insect called the 'tazma' in Ethiopia
which deposits its stores of honey with
out wax. 1t looks like giant mosquito,
and its product, which IL hides away in
holes under the ground, is eagerly
sought by the natives as remedy for
diseases of the throat.
There are giant bees in India which
suspend combs as big as house doors
from the branches of trees in the forest
In the Koono province of Lithuania bees
are reared in excavated tree trunks in
the woods, and the famous Koono honey
derives its peculiar and delicious flavor
from the blossoms of the linden trees
which are SO abundantoin that region.
One tribe of people in the province
devotes its attention exclusively to bee
keeping. Beckeeping is taught in Swift
erland by paid lecturers, who go from
town to town and from canton to cam
ton. In that country honey Is a<staple
article of food even among the poorest
classes, bread and honey being the most
common breakfast One gets nothing
else for, the, mornipg meal at the big
hotels. Consequently nearly all of the
Swiss product is required for home con-
sumption and very little Of 1t is inn
ported.
"All over continental Europe apicult-
ure is a very important industry. The
German government compels all school
masters to pass an examination in bee
keeping. European Russia produces
zoo, 900 pounds of honey annually. The
| ancient Greeks were famous for honey
| making, but the business Is neglected
by their modern descendants. Corsi-
| can honey is rendered so bitter by the
arbutus blossoms from which much Of
| 1t IS obtained as to be unpalatable.
The greatest beekeepers in the world
are in the United States. Single indi'
viduals in California each own from
