ming, they must complete the system.
They are to turn the road over to the
construction company as fast as COM
pleted in twenty-fve-mile sections.
The materials for equipment will
probably be purchased in Europe. The
labor will be native, with none of the
modern appliances for railway build
ing, for the reason that the primitive
methods can be adopted on the ground
much less extensively than improved
machinery can be sent in. There are
no great physical difficulties to be
overcome, the contractors say. All
the Americans who will go to engage
in the work of construction are George
NJ. Huss, one of the Townsends and A.
7. Wilcox, who will act as general su-
perintendent. The contract calls for
an expenditure of $5,76O,0OO.

Damascus stands upon a site of sim

THE BUSY BEE.

LIVE queen bees are shipped from
this country to Japan.
HONEY, kept in the light, graduates.
Therefore, the bees always store it in
the dark.
MANY years ago beekeeper named
Wildman surprised all Europe with the
ease with which he handled bees, COM
polling swarm to settle where he
pleased. His secret was to get pos
session of the queen bee, when the
others would follow wherever she was
placed.
SOME of the beekeepers in Skagit
county, Wash, will take one hundred
pounds from each of quite a number of
their colonies this season. This
means twenty dollars per swarm,
gross, which is regarded as better than
one hundred per cent. interest on the
Investment.
For some time past the congrega-
ton of church near Oakland, Ill,
has been bothered with honey bees.
Recently they decided to investigate,
and in removing part of the wall on
one side found a large bed of honey.
Over seven tubs of honey were taken
out and the bees successfully hived.

See How Unconsidered Trifles Are Made
Useful.
When Bishop Berkeley wrote his IA
nous treatise on tar water, claiming
it as universal medicine, curing all
diseases, he little dreamed that the
time would arrive when many
medicinal preparations would be made
out of it. Important narcotics and
febrifuges have forced their way into
medicine from this source, and are
much valued by physicians, says the
North American Review.
The most curious of the useful prod
ucts of coal tar is saccharin, a sub
stance so sweet that the sensation on
the palate is disagreeable from its
cloying persistency. A grain or two
grains give the sweetness of one or
two Jumps of sugar, and it can be
taken in food without producing the
dyspeptic and equity results that real
sugar produces on some persons.
Of all living things rats seem to be
among the most repulsive, and when
dead what can be their use? But even
they are the subjects of production in
the industrial arts. The fur is valuable
and finds ready sale. The skins
make superior glove, the CANT de rat
and are especially used for the thumbs
of kid gloves, because the skin of the
rat is strong and elastic. The thigh
bones were formerly valued as tooth
picks for clubs, but are now out Of
fashion; while the tendons and bones
are boiled up to make the gelatin
wrappers for oonbons.
Chemistry, like a thrifty housewife,
economies every scrap. The horse
shoe nails dropped in the streets are
carefully collected, and reappear as
swords and guns. The main ingredi-
ent of the ink with which 1 now write
was probably once the broken hoop Of
an old beer barrel. The clippings of
the travelling tinker are mixed with
the parings of horses hoofs and the
worst kinds of WOODEN rags and these
are worked up into an exquisite blue
dye, which graces the dress of courtly
danes.
The dregs of port wine, carefully de-
canted by the topper, are taken in the
morning as sedlitz powder, to re-
move the effect of the debauch. The
offal of the streets and the wastings
of coal gas reappear carefully pre-
served in the lady's smelling bottle, or
used by her to flavor blanc manages for
her friends. All this thrift is an imi-
tation of the economy of nature, which
allows no waste.

A WONDERFUL BIRD-WEAVER.
How the Baltimore Oriole Builds His
COZy Swinging Nest.

How the Baltimore Oriole Builds His
Cozy Swinging Nest.
The Baltimore oriole is prince in
house of princes, says writer in
Scribner's Magazine. The family to
which he belongs is composed of birds
remarkable either for plumage, note,
nest, eggs orrhabit. Each can claim some
thing curious and original; but the
Baltimore shines in every one of these
particulars, for in plumage, song and
nest alike he is an especially remark
able bird. When the earl of Baltimore
became the lord of Maryland his fol-
lowers quickly noticed the correspond
ence between his heraldic livery of
orange and black and the orange and
black of the splendid bird that so
abounded in the new estates, so that,
very naturally, the name Baltimore
bird was suggested and has been
borne ever since.
His nest is one of the most wonder
full examples of bird-weaving in exist
ence. 1t is made of separate threads,
strings, horsehair or strips of bark,
and SO firmly knit together that it will
bear weight of twenty or thirty
pounds. IL the southern parts of this
birds range the nest is suspended from
two or three terminal twigs for pro-
lection from numerous enemies, such
as snakes, opossums and the like; it
| is also made six or seven inches in
depth to prevent the eggs being thrown
out by the high winds. But in the
colder north, where tree-climbing foes
are rare, it is hung, not at the eztrem-
ity of the branches, but in cluster of
twigs that affords shelter. 1t is much
shallower than when exposed to the
wind, but is very thickly woven and
lined with soft, warm materials. The
orioles loud, ffe-lilke notes ringing
from the high tree-tops in the morning
are an ample refutation of the old
theory that melody and bright plum
age have never been bestowed on the
same bird.

BE sPRANG AT THE ROBBERS THROAT.

at the parade time the next day. Grad
ually the musicians became attached to
this devoted listener. They named
him Parade, and one or another of them
always invited him to dinner. He &C
cepted the invitation, and was apleas-
ant guest. 1t was discovered that after
dinner he always attended the theater,
where he seated himself calmly IN the
corner of the orchestra and listened
critically to the music. If new piece
was played he noticed it instantly and
paid the strictest attention. If the
piece had fine melodious passages he
showed his joy to the best of his dog
gish ability; but if the piece was or
binary and uninteresting he yawned,
stared about the theater and unmis-
takably expressed his disapproval.
Another very curious story of canine
musical ear is told of London organ
grinders dog. The organ grinder was
blind and aged and the dog used to
lead him about. One night, after a
hard days work, the old man and his
faithful companion lay down to sleep,
with the organ beside them. They
slept soundly, and when they awoke
the organ was gone. They were in de-
spair. Their means of earning liv-
ing was gone. But the dog led the
old man through the streets where
he had been accustomed to play, and
persons who had given him aims be-
fore continued to befriend him, so
that the loss of the organ proved not
so bad after all. Weeks went by. One
day the old man heard a hand organ
played a few feet from him. 1t re-
minded him of his lost instrument, but
he paid no special attention to it.
Hand organs were common in London
and he heard them often. Not so the
dog He showed signs of great excite
ment, barked violently and led his
master in the direction of the organ.
He sprang at the robbers throat,
dragged him away from the stolen or
gan and led his master eagerly up to
it with expressions of recognition and
delight.

Early Treatment of SmallpOx.

1t was several years ago that Gala
vardin drew the attention of French
practitioners to the advantages OF
treating smallpox according to the
plan originally suggested and carried
out by John of Goddesden and Waters.
The treatment in question consisted
simply in keeping the patients abso-
lutely away from all solar light, and
this solar darkness had to be from first
to last complete and uninterrupted,
otherwise no beneficial results could
be looked for. The same authority has
recently published the results of his
experience with this method covering
a period of some sixteenlyears, show
ing that if this plan be carried out the
great advantage ensues of there being
no period of suppuration, and, in con-
sequence, the subsequent soaring is
infnitesimal.

Companion, Is d stlai.ge-Iou"ius croa-
ture, and in certain ways its appearance
recalls one of the most remarkable
monsters that in past geological ages
lived in the western part of America
the triceratops of Prof. Marsh.
This gigantic animal, whose name
means "three-horned face" had its
skull inclosed in bony helmet on the
upper part of which, over the nose,
were three stout horns. The head of
one of these monsters is no less than
eight feet long.
When a horned toad is laid upon the
head of the triceratops the resemblance
is quite striking, as if this little modern
inhabitant of some of the sandy plains
of the west were miniature reproduc-
ton, with variations, of the wonderful
beast that roamed there in ancient
times

A Street Agents New Method of Drawing
a Crowd.
An exchange says that well-dressed
man, leaning against a lamp post and
apparently sleeping the sleep of the
just, created great deal of interest in
a busy London street the other day
He sat on box which he had been car
rying.
Evidently being suddenly overcome
with drowsiness, he had placed the box
on the curbstone, and, sitting down
upon it, had fallen asleep. To those
who succeeded in getting close enough
to the man his gentle, restful snore
dispelled the fear that he might be
dead. The side of his face was ex-
posed and betrayed no sign of intoxica-
ton. It was the Judgment of every
one that he was sober, in good health
and simply taking quiet snooze.
When the crowd became SO deep as
to threaten a blockade, the supposed
sleeper suddenly jumped to his feet,
mounted his box and, fourishing a
couple of bottles over his head, ex-
claimed: @
''Now, gents, seem that you are all
here, I rise to question of privilege,
and after thankin' you for this most

my memory, wish to call your atten-
ton to my world-renowned corn and

The Importance of Agriculture.

Statistics show that the entire agri-
culture of the world furnishes employ
ment to 2S0,000,000 men and represents
an invested capital of 1924, O00, 900, 900.
The annual product is worth over $20,-
900, 1000, 900. That is an enormous
amount of money, more than the hui
man mind can conceive Of 1t is di-
vided into small portions, and general
ly the farmer can easily count what is
his part. Taken altogether the farm
ers have practical assurance of good
living, and close economy, without
meanness, will give them something to
live npon in old age. 1t is estimated
that the civilized nations pay annually
for food S13, 70O,OOO,OOO. That is the
farmers market, and but for him the
world would go hungry. The individ-
ual is but a small part, but he is an
important part, as the acts of every
one person improve or degrade the
conditions of the people of the world
to some extent.

There has been considerable discus

of squirting blood from their eyes when

the assertion that the little animals
really possess this power. According
to one observer, the blood, or the liquid
resembling blood, comes from little
orifces just above and behind the
eyes, and it appears to have stupefy-
