AvARICE is generally the last passion
of those lives in which the first part has
been squandered in pleasure, and the
second devoted to ambition. He that
sinks under the fatigue of getting wealth
lulls his age with the milder business OF
saving it.
To adorn nature is the right, the
privilege, and the duty of woman, but
to try to improve upon natures work by
changing her rules is hopeless and fool
ish. And there is no need. Tastes diff
fer widely enough to win admiration for
all varieties of loveliness.

Tho Severe Training or African Women
WARRIORS.
The famous women warriors of Da-
honey, who have fought so desperately
against the French troops, are trained
for service with u severity beside which
the discipline of our soldiers is luxuri-
u ease. They arc recruited from girls
of thirteen or fourteen years, and also
from the ranks of criminals and evil
doors, for any crime is pardoncd to the
woman who enlists among the ANA
IONS They are compelled to sleep out
doors in all kinds of weather, to suffer
blows and kicks without complaint, and
are often kept starving for days. For
the purpose of acquiring proficiency in
scaling walls, the scantily clothed war
riors are compelled to Chamber to the
top of walls thiclily covered with
thorny cacti, the ground beneath being
strewn with broken glass. Before 60
ing into battle liberal quantities of
run are given to them to give them the
daring rcclSlossncss which marks their
attacks. They fire rapidly for n little
time, then charge upon the enemy with
their knives, and even when shot down
will fight to the last breath, stabbing
blindly at their assailants and biting
and tearing ut their legs when they
can no longer stand.

BEES IN HER BEDROOM.

A Staten Island Girl Who Finds the In
scots Quiet Companions.
There is a girl in Staten Island who
has kept n hive of bees in her bedroom
during the winter. She said recently,
according to the New York Sun, that
they were the most unobjectionable of
companions. They are quiet, orderly
and attend strictly.to their own affairs.
When the warm weather comes they
will be sent out doors, where there are
beds of mignonette and other sweet
scented flowers, which the bees fully
understand are planted for their special
use. This hive of bees is the nucleus of
her contemplated bee farm. Last sum-
mel they supplied her weekly with
thirty-six pounds of honey. For each
pound of honey she received thirty
cents The profits of Bookkeeping are
great, the cost small. The labor of
houcy-raising has been materially
lcssencd for the bees by modern i'm
provenents, and they seem proportion
ately grateful. The bees no longer
make their own cells, which are pro-
dr-CI ny machinery out of wax. These
artificial cells arc placed in the hive and
IT," I&2s seem to be glad to get rid of
the labor of making them. Immediate
ly they get to honey making. This
business they conduct alone. When the
cells arc full the hive must be watched
from without, lest the bees begin seal
ing them up, which they do in order to
lay up their winters food. To guard
against this, additional cells arc put on
top of the hive, called supers. In these
the bees deposit their extra store, and
this is reserved for their winter outfit.
When the bees begin to seal the cells
the box is removed, a small machine is
put inside which is set vibrating, and
this empties the cells of their honey.
which is drawn off, and the cells, hav-
ing been drained, are put back to be re-
filled. This young woma says that
her bees know her, and are as tame to
her hand as doves. The occupation OF
honey making has proved pleasurable
and profitable.

Difficulties Which Confront the Russian

Difficulties Which Confront the Russian
Swain.
A pretty story comes from Russia by
way of compensation for the many ugly
stories starting thcre. During the last
Russian war with Turkey the soldiers
of IL regiment rejoicing in the name OF
the KeiIholmsky regiment found u
woman lying dead with n living child
in her arms. The child was adopted by
tho regiment and educated ut its cx-
pcnse. At the close of her school life
she took up her abode with her col
lectiye fathers.
The other day n young Russian officer
demanded the hand Of Marie Kekholms-
kaya, of the regiment. A meeting was
called, the parents considered the mat
ter, and when young Lieut.. Slemmer
gave proofs of his good character the
regimental consent to the marriage we
given. The lieutenant must be 81 brave
man to thus face a whole regiment of
fathers, when one father is usually con-
sidered rather formidable when that
particular question is to be asked.

We had the pleasure of examin-
ing Richard Graham's new photo
graph gallery this morning. MIR.
Graham is situated in the rooms
formerly occupied by the B. & L
Association and has seven elegantly
furnished rooms. They are a
double reception parlor, a dressing
room, which has every modern con-
venience, a large operating room, a
dark room and two finishing rooms.
The finishing and dark rooms have
every appliance for photography
and Nh. Graham says he can turn
out better photos than were ever
shown in Mexico. The apparatus
is the finest and best that money
can buy and the operating room il
draped to give the most delicate
and artistic effects. The windows
of the finishing rooms are ground
glass, which will diffuse soft Iight
and give the best tone possible to &
photo. MIR. Graham will take
pleasure in showing any one owe
his establishment and it will pay am
person to call and see what a moderI
photograph gallery should be.

"Paradise" Wrongly Defined.

~ the Editor OF theLedger.
MEXICO, No., Nov. Elm a re-
port OF a sermon last week by Rev.
MIR. Sneed upon the words of the
Savior to the thief; 'sThis day thou
shalt meet me in paradise" st.
Luke % :43, the word paradise"
was defined to mean "literally the
highest heaven" AS the argument
OF the discourse assumed that the
thief, because he was promised that
he should meet the Savior in para
disc, therefore went to heaven,
some such meaning must be put
upon that word. But if that be the
literal meaning of the word paradise
it is strangely contradictory of the
Savior's declaration to the wo-
men three days after, when
He exclaimed: Touch me
not, for l am not yet assembled un-
to my father, but go to my brethren
and say unto them l ascend unto my
father and your father and to my
God and your God" St.John 20:17.
In truth the word paradise has no
such derivation. 1t is from the Latin,
paradesies, Greek, paradeisers, and
Sanscrit, paradica, lit. foreign coun-
try, para distant, deca country. The
sense is new country, lit. far coun-
try. The sermon certainly was most
excellent and convincing because of
its clearness, but the assumption in
the text can not be maintained in
the estimate of very many. Certain
ly that day the Savior never met the
thief in the ''highest heaven" to
which he had not yet assembled.

Judge Buckner Very Ill.

Hon. A. H. Buckner was taken
seriously i'll at his residence in this
city Sunday morning and is suffer
ing with something like paralysis.
While his physician does not say
that heis without hope, Judge Buck
ner's family consider him to be in a
most dangerous condition. Judge
Buckner is one of the pioneer citi-
zens of Missouri, and has been very
prominent in politics, having repre-
scented this district in Congress hon.
estly and ably for twelve years. He
always considered a public Office a
public trust, and as a public man
and as a private citizen, his career
is without a blemish, and no man
stands higher among the people who
know him.
Aylett Halves Buckner, of Mexico,
was born at Fredericksburg, Va. was
educated at Georgetown College and
at University of Virginia; taught
school and studied law; emigrated
to Missouri in 1887; was elected in
1S41 Clerk of the County Probate
Court of Pike County; in 1850 re-
moved to St. Louis to practice law;
was elected Attorney for the bank of
the State of Missouri in 1852; in
1854 vas appointed Commissioner
of Public Works by Governor Ster-
ling Price in 1857 was elected Judge
of the Third Judicial Circuit in 1861
was elected by the General Assem-
bly, of the State as one of the dele
gates to the Peace Congress; was
elected to the Forty-third Congress
in this district and served for twelve
years. 1t is hoped that Judge Buck
ner's illness will only be temporary
and that he will shortly be himself
again.

GROVER AMI TARIFF.
The President and His Next Message
to Congress-The Protection Fea.
lures to be Entirely Eliminated.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. g.
President Cleveland has decided to
spend most of the time between now
and the opening of Congress, next
month, at Woodley, where he will
be free from care and intrusion,
and be able to prepare his forth
coming message without Interrupt
ton.
The leading feature of the mes
sage, il is said, will be the tariff, a
complete, though not radical revis-
ion of which he will recommend.
He will declare against all pro-
lection but enlarge particularly up
on the free raw material feature of
tariff reform.
