A Giant Bee Expedition.

The expedition which the Depart
ment of Agriculture contemplated
sending out some time ago to India
for the purpose Of collecting certain
giant bees, which are wild in that
country, has not as yet been dis
patched. These are the biggest spe-
cies known in the world, and they
build combs in the forests six or seven
feet in length, which are found hang
ing from the limbs Of lofty trees or
from protecting ledges Of rock at
high altituds. The combs yield enor-
nous quantities Of wax, which Is a
valuable commercial article, so that
many skilled men make business OF
limiting for them The hunters, hav-
ing a superstitiouS fear OF the insects,
attack them by stratagen. Having
smoked them out with a bunch OF
leaves on the end OF a long stick, they
cut away the combs, which, when re-
duced to wax, find their way evsntu-
ally TO warehouses in the cities, where
tons on tons OF this material may be
seen together.
Sooner or later some Of these great
bees will be fetched TO the United
States, where it i thought that they
could be made to supply large crops
of the finest and most valuable WAX
The fact that the drones are no larger
than the males Of ordinary species
has led enthusiasts to believe that
they could be crossed with the females
of stocks already acclimated here.
Nevertheless, the practicability OF ac-
complishing this result must be re-
garded a very doubtful, inaSmuch'as
they are probably distinct species.
These wonderful insects from India
have longer tongues than are pos
sesssd by other bees, and the belief is
entertained that they could secure
from many kinds Of flowers honey
that now goes to waste. No faith Is
placed in the remarkable stories told
Of their extraordinary ferocity and OF
attacks which they are alleged TO
have made upon whole villages Of
people with direful results. DR.. Frank
Benton, the bee expert employed by
the Depal tment of Agriculture, inves-
tigqted them in their native forests
not long ago and demonstrated that
expert beekeepsrs could easily handle
them.

Good Intentions.

1t is OF unspeakable advantage to
possess our minds with an habitual
good intention, and to aim all our
thoughts. words and actions at some
laudable end, whether it be to the
glory of our Maker, the good OF man
kind, or the benefit OF our souls. a
person who is possessed with such an
habitual good intention enters upon
no single circumstance OF life with
out considering it "a well-plessing to
the Author Of his being, comfortable
to the dictates Of his reason, suitable
to human nature in general, or TO

id ence has placed him. lie lives in a

Horse and Man.

The Creator has taken the greatest
care TO make the whole hoof as light
a. possible. Happy thought" says
man Let us hang pound or 30 on
each hoof aud make the horse waste
his strength in lifting it,"
lie has made the wall exceedingly
strong. Happy thought! Let US
weaken ii by cutting 1t away
He has made the wall nearly az
hard a. iron. Happy thought! Let
us soften it by 'stuffing. "
He has furnished the hoof with an
elastic pad called the frog" 70 a. to
prevent any jar when the horse steps.
Happy thought! Let us cut away
the pad and make the horses weight
come upon a ring Of iron"
Again, the sole Of the boof has
been formed archwise OF successive
layers OF exceedingly hard horn. 1t
bids defiance to hard and sharp ed ged
objects.
So the sole inspired us with another
happy thought. Let US pare IL so
thin that it not only cannot resist the
pressure Of the horses weight upon q
stone, but that it yields to the press
ure Of the human thumb"
The coronary ring, from which the
fOres Of tie wall are secreted, IL
guarded by penthouse OF hair,
which causes wet TO shoot of AS IL
does from the caves of house.
Happy thought! Let US snip away
the hair and let the water make its
way into the coronary ring
SO after working his sweet will upon
the hoof man wonders at its weakness
and lays down the stupid axiom that
"One horse can wear out four sets OF
legs" which Is equivalent TO saying
that the Creator did not know how
10 make a horse.

The Worlds Most Useful River.

The Nile is probably the most use
full river in the world. 1t has turned
an arid wilderness iGto the richest
land in the world 1t has provided
at the same time an admirable com
mercial highway, and made easy the
transportation of building materials
The ancient Egyptians were thus Gu
abled to utilize the granite of Assuau
for the splendid structures OF hun
ed-gated Thebos and Of Memphis,
and even for those of Tunis, on the
Mediterranean coast. At time when
the people OF the British Isles were
clad in the skins OF wild beasts and
offered human sacrifices upon the
stone atars Of the Druids, Egypt was
the centre of rich and refined civil
zatiou. Most of this development of
only watered and fortified the soil
annually, but was and is one OF the
greatest and best natural highways in
the word. From the beginning OF
the winter to the end OF spring that
is while the Nile is navigabls the
north winds blows steadily up stream
with sufficient force to drive sailing
boats against the current at fair
pace; while, on the other hand, the
current is strong enough TO carry
boats without sails down against the
wind, except when it blows a gale.
That is why ancient Egypt did not
need steam power nor electric motors
for the immense commerce that coy
cred the Nile. nor for the barges car
rying building material for hundreds
and hundreds OF miles.

Gleanings.

The bad thing about little sins is
that they won't stay little.
Everybody has more or less cause
to be unhappy. Happy is the man
who is too busy to be miserable.
The tendency to persevere, to per
sist in spite Of hindrances, discourage
ments and impossibilities-it is this
that in all things distinguishes the
strong soul from the weak.
All politensss is owing to liberty.
We polish one another and rub off
our corners and rough sides by a sort
Of amicable collision. To restrain this
Is inevitably TO bring II rust upon
mems understandings.
a great deal of talent is lost in the
world for want Of little courage
| Every day sends to their graves Il
number Of obscure men who have on
~ remained in obscurity because their
timidity has prevented them from
making a first effort.
Duty is Il power which rises with us
in the morning and goes to rest with
US at night. 1t is cOeXtSnsive with
the action OF our Intelligence. 1t is
the shadow which cleavss to us, 20
where we will, and only leaves us
when we leave the light of lifo.
To appreciate a difficulty is an i'm
portant step toward overcoming it;
and that is far more hopeful condi-
tion Of mind which admits the duty
and fathoms tho difficulty, than that
which rushes in unprepared and una
ware of the need OF preparation.
Scratch the green rind of Il sapling
or wantonly twist it in the soil, and q
Scared or crooked oak will tell the
act for years to come. How :orcibly
does this figure show the necessity Of
giving right tendencies to the minds
and hearts of the young.
Only by the supernatural is n man
strong, only by coniiding in the divin-
ity which stirs within us Nothing is
so weak as an egoist, nothing is might
ier than we, when we are vehicles Of
a truth before which the state and the
individual are alike ephemeral.
There are some people who think
they make the most OF life whom they
make it rs wretched as possible Lut
trell was once asked if an acquaint
ance of his was not very disagreeabIe.
"WeI, was the reply, "he is always

He who cultivates happiness in him

banisheS needless fears and avoids
needless pain, and who never invents
artificial difficulties or distress, will
be in the best condition to endure
real trouble when it comes to him,
and to sympathize with and aid 9th
ers in time OF need.
1t is not only that God does not let
one sparrow fall to the ground with
out Him, but not one good thought,

our prayers, our hopes, our efforts are
all numbered, as well as the hairs Of
our heads. The grass for tomorrow 5

CHICAGO, March 20.-The silver statue OF
Ada Rehan was cast successfully. Sixteen
hundred pounds of sterling silver were
melted in crucible, and the molten mass
was poured into huge mould for Monta-
mas silver statue of Justice. After an hour
the mold was removed and the statue re-
vealed. 1t was pronounced beauty. The
total cost of the statue is $4,000. Not only
is the statue an exact reproduction of the
figure of Miss Rehan, but the features are
hers though the expression has been made
rather more severe than Miss Rehan usual
ly has. This was done to carry out the idea

attached to that old clock. Along about

Thomas Duncombe, afterward Sir Thomas
Duncombe and lord mayor of London, had
to wait for his master on the bridge, and
time and time again he was puzzled to
know the time. 1t was while waiting there
one bitter cold night that he made reso
luton that if he was ever able he would
put clock in that steeple, so that other
people would not have to worry as he did
He prospered in life and kept his word,

now for nearly 1s0 years, and it is keeping
time yet for the whole neighborhood Of
