A POUND OF BEES.

This question is answered in a
recent number of the American
Agriculturist. Careful weighing
shows that an ordinary bee, not
loaded, weighs the one five-thou-
sandth part of a pound, so that it
takes Eve Thousand bees, not loaded
to make pound. But the loaded
bee, when he comes in fresh from
the fields and flowers loaded with
honey or bee bread, weighs nearly
three times more, that is to say, he
carries nearly twice his own weight.
OF loaded bees there are only about
1900 in the pound.
An ordinary hive of bees contains
from four to five pounds of bees. or
between twenty thousands and
twenty-five thousand individuals;
but some 'swarms have double this
weight and number of bees.

THE TRUE PHYSICIAN.

The money-making idea is one
that lie dominant in the majority of
humanity, and every occupation is
looked upon as a trade. Philanth-
ropic motives. pure and simple, are
either sneered at as visionary, un-
charitably branded as a trick of
trade, or considered as a mere ad-
vertising dodge. True medicine,
however, porclaims that the true
physician 10 most happy when the
patients are most healthy; this idea
the common mind rejects as an alb
surd and impracticable doctrine.
There il belief very generally
spread that the physician has no
interest in the preservation of health,
but rather rejoices when there is
the most sickness This may be
true in rare cases. but as a rule it
is untrue. The physician who
practices his profession for mere
mercenary motives has certainly
very low character and decidedly
80 did spirit. Some one has most
truthfully said that the sanitary
engineering and preventive skill
which make our homes sweet and
comfortable tend to check disease
and impoverish those who dare to
bring down medical art to the level
OF a trade. No tradesman would
get up in the middle of a cold win
ter's night, and ride ten miles with
out the prospect OF pay, and vet
the physician does this often. The
true physician, therefore, becomes
teacher of benevolence.-Med.

DELINQUENT TAXES.

Next Monday state, county,
school and municipal taxes be-
come delinquent and thereafter
certain penalties will be added.
The law is as follows: "On the
second Monday in December of
each year all unpaid taxes are
delinquent and thereafter the tax
collector must collect thereon, for
the use of the county. an addition
of ten per cent" What that ten
per cent is need for does not seem
quite clear, but it is in the nature Of
a penalty and designed to encour-
age people to pay taxes promptly.
Considering hard times, it does
seem that the penalty might for
this year be remitted, at least to
al those who tender their taxes
before publication Of the delinquent
list. The law provides that no
taxes shall be received from the
second to the third Monday, inclu-
sive. This provision is to enable
the assessor to make up his roll
and delinquent list. However,
considering hard times, the assessor
might overlook that provision of
law ana 60 on receiving taxes up
to the fourth Monday in December.
This would give tax payers two
weeks grace which might be Of
considerable advantage. We think
enforcement Of the law could be
modified in some other respects to
the advantage of tax payers and
will call attention to the matter
later.

APOSTLE VS.. EDITOR.

Mayor elect of Logan, Utah,
George w. Thatcher, who is also
one of the Twelve Apostles of the
Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints, recently undertook to
slug the editor of the Logan

can and the trouble grew out of
unpleasantness connected with the
late election. The 6gh, was inter-

articles appearing in the Keystone.
The unhappy gentleman has mixed
his ideas and confounds legal liabil-
ity with moral obligation. Re-
sponsibillty never attaches to hys-
terra and obligation ceases with
imbecility. The article in the Key
stone, the only part of which bears
trace of genuineness being the
signature, says that the TRIBUNE
has mistaken it's GEORGE. That is
simply, then, q misnomer. The
characteristics may be applied to
the person who merits them, call
him by whatever name. If the
Keystone is ambitious of distinc.
ton, it might substitute IKE with
out doing violence to the character.
But, in view of the fact that only a
few weeks ago, the keystone in its
own columns, acknowledged itself
an uncomfortable prevaricator. its
statements must be accepted with
charitable allowances and there is
nothing in its present state of mind
to restore confidence in it's veracity.
However, as identity is a matter Of
utter indifference, we are quite
willing te believe, in the face of the
Keystone's denial, that the G GORGE
we had in mind is not the GEORGE
who furnishes editorial rot for
our contemporary. The glory Of
that performance belongs not to a
name but a person; and while, at
the Keystone's instigation, we
might cheerfully change the appel
lation, we can not deny the char
acter without insulting the facts.
Nevertheless, we owe the keystone
an apology. 1t has been driven to
pitiable extremities. In a desper-
ate moment, it has shifted a pain
full responsibility on to the should
ers of an innocent man. 1t was a
reckless and heartless subterfuge.
The nominal editors worst friends
never accused him of being the
author of the villainous billings
gate which besmirch the Keystone's
columns from time to time. He
has always been regarded as an
easy, plastic soul whose highest
hope was the enjoyment Of a lam
guild serenity, undisturbed by men,
tai activity or physical exertlon-
the prey of every rogue and the
victim of every fraud. Mr.. Bow.

EXTENSION BEGUN.
People VIII Soon Find the LaEeside RaII-
Way a Reality

PEOPLE VIII Soon Find the Lakeside RaII-
way a Reality.
In accordance with the announcement in
Saturdays HERALD Contractor Egan put a
force of men at work yesterday on the line
of the Lakeside Electric Railway. Owing to
some delay in connection with the SURVEYS
the work was not begun until the afternoon,
but when once started the force of twenty
men soon made up for lost time.
The ground breakers started on the en-
bankment to the right of the public road and
opposite Indian Ridge breaker. By six
o'clock they had the line graded almost 10
the fork of Yatesville and Ellengowan turn
pixies.
Meanwhile Mark Bowman and his assis-
tants, Walter Dillman, Horace Hagenbuch.
Frank Snyder and Philip Mcintyre, pushed
the surveying eastward and by quitting time
reached point near the starting place of the
Beaver Meadow Compahy's work.
The surveys for the Lakeside Company are
now complete from Main street east to within
few yards of the borough limits.
The line will be run on Centre street to a
point about one hundred feet east of the
Oreeden hotel and will then run up on the
embankment south of the road, continuing
along the embankment to a point about two
hundred yards southeast of the Indian Ridge
breaker, where it will cross to the north side
of the road and follow the dirt bank until it
strikes the Yatesville turnpike at a point
about fifty yards east of the forks of said
turnpike and the Ellengowan road. The road
will then continue eastward on the north side
of the Yatesville turnpike to the borough
line. The direction it will take from there
has not been determined.
These serious steps towards the construc-
tion of the electric line has renewed the
discussion on the advisability Of changing
the course of the public road at the east end
of Centre street. If turned off and run
along the embankment south of the electric
line it would have a much easier grade than
the present one and join the Yatesville and
Ellengowan roads at the forks, thus avoiding
close proximity to the breaker; and by this
change the electric cans would not cross the
public road after passing the Creeden house.

pressions from the party workers, better
results may be expected.
The bone of contention seemed to be the
rule governing represent alton at the county
and district conventions. majority favored
a change. The old rule is that district
having less than 35 voters holds one vote; 35
and. less than 90, two votes; $50 and less
than $50, four votes all over $50, six votes.
The change proposed is that the delegate
from each district shall cast the vote polled
for the lowest candidate on the ticket
The next question considered was when
and how to elect delegates to the state and
national conventions. The members of the
committee seemed more greatly divided upon
this question that the rule governing repre-
sentation TO the county conventions, each
member having plan of his own.
Besides the two referred to five changes in
the rules are contemplated Under the
existing rules governing the party, only a
member of the Standing committee iseligible
as County Chairman. One of the changes
suggested is allowing the candidates nomi-
mated to select the chairman, whether the
latter be a member of the Standing committee
or not.
1t is also proposed to reduce the member
ship of the standing committee. At present
each district is allowed two members Of that
committee, and the proposed change is that
each district be allowed only one member
