The Bees Sting Useful.

It will be surprise to many to learn that, after all, the most impor- tant function of the bees sting is not its stinging. have long been con- vinced that the bees put the finishing touches on their artistic cell work by the dexterous use of their stings, and during this final finishing stage of the process of honey-making the bees in- ject a minute portion of formic acId into the honey. This is in reality the poison of their sting. This formic acid gives to the honey its peculiar flavor, and also imparts to it it's keeping qualities. The sting is really an ex- quisitely-contrived little trowel, with which the bee finishes off and caps the cells when they are filled brimful with honey. While doing this the formic acid passes from the poison bag, ex- udes, drop by drop, from the point of the sting, and the beautiful work is finished. Horticultural Times.

On the Side of the United States and in the Interest of
 Humanity.

PARIS, May 3.-[Associated Press. l -J. c. Carter, one of the American counsel in the Behring Sea arbitration concluded his lengthy argument before the tribunal today. In the peroration Garter described the slaughter of fe- male seals, heavy with unborn young and other horrors of pelagic sealing. To prevent these horrors and protect the seal herds the United States has ta- ken the position at the risk ot war with Great Britain and has been ready to maintain the position and thus die. charge it's duties to humanity, even if it was obliged to face half the world in arms. History would recognize the rights and justice of the cause. The duty of the United States had not been extinguished by reference of the dis pute to tribunal, but had been merely transferred. The. United States had withdrawn and left to arbitrators the sacred duty of forbidding the distribution of pelagic seals and contining seal killing to the islands. If the tribunal should decline to assume the duty it would only leave to poster ity new source of contention. From the beginning Carter had spoken forty hours. As he sat down, Baron DeCour- eel, president of the court, said: "I cannot refrain from thanking you for your magnificent speach. which has been characterized by loftiness of view worthy of this high court"

Doors of a Lansing Financial Insti-
 tuition Needlessly Closed.
 LANsINa, Mich, May 3.--[Associated excited yesterday to find hanging upon the door of the Ingham County Savings Band the following placard: This bank is in the hands of the bank commits sioner." The institution was organized in 1885, and has capital stock of $50,- 900 and surplus of like amount. The last statement also showed undivided profits of $5,000. The savings and com mercial deposits amount to $250, ,000, al- though $70,000 has been withdrawn since the Lansing Lumber Company failure and the incipient run on the bank last week. The action today was precipitated by the refusal of the Penin- sular Savings Bank of Detroit to comply with it's promises to protect the Ing ham and keep it supplied with currency for daily demands. The credit of the Ingham with the Peninsular was only $40, ,000, but the cashier has promised $l00,000 if necessary. Forty-three drawn, and yesterday the Ingham is sued $7,000 in checks on the Hanover Bank of New York and requested the Peninsular to protect them, which It re- fused to do. A meeting of the directors was called and ii was decided to close the doors without even consulting the commissioner of the bank, who has been almost constantlyupon the ground to meet any financial emergency that might arise. He denounces the action of the bank officials as nasty in the ex- treme. He says the Peninsular had Sl32, 1000 in collaterals of the Ingham County Bark, and although the former had preferred to supply funds, other Lansing banks could have relieved the Ingham from temporary embarrass- nent. Other banks of the city have not yet been affected by the suspension, but an uneasy feeling prevails.

different. A typewriter letter is Of
no more value in Il business transaction

capital, and the integrity of old-time
merchant princes, as Lawrence, Apple

are not essential or apparent in modern
business methods.
Transactions of any magnitude. in
any line, can be carried on by the aid
of Il typewriter as in most eases the
operator can furnish brains enough for
the principal, with or without capital.
If all goes well and the prospects are
serene, typewriting counts; if other
wise, this merchant can diSclaim tho

sponSiblity for the machine.
This decadence Of simple honesty is
greatly to be lamentcd We have in

successful results. The plan was sub
