A successful sculptor gets much
amusement out Of the sitters whose
busts he molds-especially those of
strong originality.
Carlyle, after much persuasion, was
persuaded to sit for his bust to Sir
Edgar Boehm, the sculptor-royal to
the English court.
"I'll give you twenty-five minutes
to make what you can OF me-" said he
one day, storming in at the door Of
Boehm's studio.
He stood there, watch IN hand,
while Sir Edgar manipulated the
damp clay. Scarcely had the minute
band pointed to the appointed mo-
ment for the sitter's departure when
the sculptor pushed his clay aside,
But Carlyle had been drawn on to talk
and to forget; so he insisted upon
yiving the sculptor another two-and-
twenty minutes He returned to the
studio on another day to be studied
at the artists leisure.
Lord Strattord de Redcliffe, who so
long ruled at Constantinople as the
British Minister, had passionate
temper. After sitting to Sir Edgar
for his bust, he visited the studio to
inspect it. He did not like it, ana
knitting his overhanging brows into a
rreat frown, he shouted cut, "Why,

Lady Rent-Collectors.

Probably no city of the world has
in its poor so much as London to be
ashamed of, and in its dealings with
them so much of which to boast. As
the need has been very urgent, She
response in organized charity has been
astonishingly great.
London's model tenement-houses
are models worth copying in every
large city. The success of some OF
them is due in no mean measure to
the plan by which the rents Z. . COZ
lected.
Miss Octavia Hill in 1864 began the
system by which women took the
place of men az rent collectors
Ladies in no need of remuneration
offered their aid at once. But Miss
Hill saw the wisdom of putting the
plan upon purely business basis, and
insisted that the collectors should re-
reiye commission Of per cent.
She took as her field the very low
est grade OF tenenIcnt-hOuscs Be
sides the mere duties OF collector, she
undertook to better the condition of
tenants. First inducing them to
tI'C up III CCll1is = anu ltlLpN-
ing other evils, she has gradually edu-
Gated her tenants up to wanting the
best possible quarters. Through her
agency many model tenementS have
been built The builders are always
guaranteed Il good per centaCe on
their investments, and now it is said
that million and quartz dollars
worth of property is under her man
agement.
Many other ladies are engaged in
the work, AMI though their achieve
ments may not be told IN large Gg-
ureS, it Is very easy to see what good
they can bring about They must
come into constant contact with the
poorest classes. and full of the spirit
OF charity, must see countless ways to
help the tenants wives and children.
The men, too, come to look upon
the rent-collectOr not as heart!eSS
agent to be Stunned and put off, bat
as Il friend with ready sympathy and
real power to aid.
Modern charity follows more and
more the gool Samaritan example.
American workers who copy from En-
gland this form of it need never fear
ridicnle as AngiOmaniacs

Idaho's Precious Stones.

unusual opportunity for studying the
geological and mineral production. The
exhibit for Custer Couuty contains a
beautiful specimen of onyx. Indications
are that an agate field exists in the
county. Sapphires have also been found
there, one lot of which sold for S1lO0.
But recent efforts have failed to produce
one for the expedition.
A sample of rock has been received
from Lewiston, the exact character of
which has not been determined, but
which appears to be a variety of jaspar.
This specimen cuts glass more really
than the diamond, and is so hard that
ten minutes grinding on an emery wheel
has scarcely any effect Oh it. 1t is varie-
gated In color, with pink and green
t,nts. 1t is quite small, and efforts are
being made to secure larger one. The
value of the rock is not known.
The variety of opals will be very large.
There two mines in Latah and one about
forty miles from Boise City. They are the
genuine fire opals, and are said to be of
very superior quality.

HONEY MADE BY INSECTS,
Sot by Bees Alone, but by wssps, Ants
and Other Bugs.

Washington Star: "Did you eve,
consider how many flowers are re-
quired to supply one pound of honey?"
said a naturalist. About two and a
half millions is a fair estimate. Think
what vast amount of toll by hard
working bees that represents! How
ever, there are other creatures besides
bees that gather honey. For example,
there is the 'honey-wasp' of tropical
America and the honey-making ant of
Texas and New Mexico. The latter
Is very abundant in the neighborhood
OF Santa Fe, and the sweets il collects
are highly esteemed by the Mexicans,
not only as food, but for medicinal
purposes. There is an insect called
the 'tazma' in Ethiopia which depos-
its its stores of honey without wax.
1t looks like a giant mosquito and its
product, which it hides away in holes
underground, is eagerly sought by the
natives as remedy for diseases of the
throat.
There are giant Lees in India
which suspend combs as big as house
doors from the branches of trees in the
forests. In the KoOno province of
Lithuania bees are reared in eXcavated
tree trunks in the woods, and the
famous KoOnO honey derives its pecu-
liar and delicious flavor from the BIOS
SONS of the linden trees which are so
abundant in that region. One tribe
Of people in the province devoteS it's
attention exclusively to bee-keeping
Bee keeping is taught in Switzerland
by paid lecturers, who go from town
to town and from canton to canton.
In that country honey is staple ar
t'clc of food even among the poorest
classes, brs.d and honey being the
most common breakfast. Ono gets
nothing else for the morning meal at
the big hotels. Consequent y nearly
all of the Swiss product is required
for home consumption, and very little
Of it is imported.
"All over continental Europe apicul-
ture is a very important industry.
The German government cJlpels all
