lone day in October, 1877, | was

Thomas NJ Spencer to a st. Louis
Globe Democrat man. There were
six of us in the coach. We were talk
ing about stage robbers. Suddenly
there was halt and one of the party
said: Speak of the devil and he will
appear. Well, we all got up and stood
in line and gave up our purses and
watches. The driver had thrown off
the mail bag and the Wells-F Fargo safe.
There were two robbers, neither Of
them masked. They were not polite
like the knights Of the road Of ro-
nance, but swore continuously The
job was done in about five minutes, and
the robbers told the driver to go ahead.
We did so for half mile or so, when one
of the passengers, silent man whom
] had taken for commercial man,
said to the driver Go slowly and
wait for me at the ford. He tlSen pro

the coach and started back over the
road alone Who is hep we asked the
driver. 'Wells-Fargo man, guess;

he will have got them; if he don't,
they'll have got him
Twenty minutes later we heard
some rapid firing We stopped at the
ford. Nearly an hour passed, and then
the man who had gone back appeared
on the trail. He walked slowly, as if
in pain, and bloody handkerchief
was tied about his head. Drive bac.s

How Some of the Weak Stands May BE
Put to Good Use.
In almost every apiary there are al
ways a few stands that seem to be
weak when compared with others.
These stands are of little value so far
as the production of any surplus honey
Is concerned, but they can be put to
good use in starting nuclei and queen
rearing. / find have three or four of
these poor colonies. They were good,
strong ones last season and were
seemingly as strong and healthy this
spring as some of the rest But now
that the honey season is here ! find
they are away behind, and will be of
little value for field work.
The trouble with these colonies IS,
the queen has lost her vigor and is in a
manner worthless After awhile the
bees will kill her, or she may die and
they will rear another; but they don't
seem TO know when to do this, nor
does the beelxeeper until it is too late
for the best results. And when they do
rear q new queen IL Is ALWAYS from the
ola STOCK, and Is not likely to be a first
class one. The value Of a colony
largely depends on the queen. If we
expect to get any surplus we must have

CURIOUS MICROBES.
One of the strangest of Modern Medica
Discoveries.


One of the strangest of Modern Medical
Discoveries.
Among all the painful diseases to
which human flesh is heir the most
agonizing are, without doubt. those
which arise from the formation of
gravel and stone the origin and proper
treatment of which have been hereto
fore matter of mere conjecture. Dur
ing yesterdays sitting of the academy
of sciences a most interesting report
was sent in by DIR. Galippe which
throws considerable light on the sub
iect. This savant has devoted over
eight years to continuous investiga-
tions, the results of which may be
briefly summarized as follows:
All stones found in the human body
contain microbes of peculiar kind.
These microbes are the authors of that
chemical decomposition which results
in calcareous deposits. Our organs.
even when in a perfectly healthy con-
dition, frequently contain large num-
bers of such parasites, which, however,
produce no deleterious effects so long
as the humors of the body are in nor
NAL state; but once we are attacked by
disease the microbian manifestations,
as he calls them, set to work to pro-
duce the deposit which develops into
gravel and stone.
The most curious portion of DR.. Ga
lippe's report is his account of how he
proved his theory by experiment, and
having set microbes the task of produc-
ing little stones had the grim satisfac-
ton to see i. successfully accom-
plished. For this purpose he employed
human saliva, from which, after an ex-
pertinent lasting over Ave years, he OBJ
tanned hundreds of little stones. These
artificial productions are in all re-
spects absolutely identical with the
stones found in various organs of the
human body. The microbes which
produce them can be isol&ted and Gull
tivated. Tuberculous diseases cap be
successfully treated by inducing pro-
cess by which the tubercles become
hard and graveHy. The opinion ex-
pressed at. the sitting of the academy
was that DIR. Galipp's Investigations
and discoveries had thrown power
ful light upon the origin, prevention
and cure of the most agonixing dis
eases known to modern medicine
