REASONING POWER OF BEES.
In q, Rainstorrn They Select the Shelter of
Heavy Foiis&sed Trees.


a few years ago the person who
might give utterance to the idea that
any but human beings possessed rea-
sonihg powers would have been con-
sidered guilty of rank heresy, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. But with adj
vanced enlightenment there are thou
sands who have been driven to the be-
lief that the divine light has not been
bestowed upon man alone, but upon
animals as well. even insects coming in
for share of that force which is a
grade higher than instinct. Close OBJ
servers are continually making public
examples which show that that class of
animal life which has been designated
.is ''the lower orders" when compared
with human kind accomplish results
the working out of which can scarcely
be ascribed to instinct alone. This
reasoning faculty is especially notice
able among dogs, while many other
animals evince a power of thought of
ability"to reason, really remarkable
In g communication to the academy of
natural sciences some time ago, Prof
Mehan related an incident that came
under his own observation which,
while not conclusive evidence of rea-
sonipg power in insects, yet is strongly
indicative of it. During light spring
shower the professor took shelter IN
der large linden tree in full bloom
While there he noticed an unusual
number of bees busily at work among
the flowers of the linden, while a tree
of another species, close at hand, also
in bloom, had no bees about it. The
reason was quickly apparent to him.
The deserted tree was light of foliage
and the rain poured through freely.
while the linden had heavy foliage and
in such ABUNDANCE that the rain was
shed almost as perfectly as from an
umbrella. The bees were evidently
aware of this, for they came and went
directly to and from the linden, ignor-
ing the other tree entirely He as
sumed. and seemingly correctly, that
this could not be purely instinct, but
was the result of reasoning. of a low
order perhaps, but still line above an
inward impulse, unconscious and in
voluntary, which guides to the per-
Torrance of an action without thought
of improvement in the method"

Meat Comes Down.

CHICAGO, April 1.-The gre at
provision deal on the board OF
trade, which for twelve months
has kept the price of pork, lard
and ribs under the domination OF
two firms, was loosened up to-day
Cudahb and Fairbanks. who have
since March, 1892, been in COM
mand of the provision market,
have abdicated. They are satisfied
seemingly, with the 100000
which they are said to have cleared
upon their twelve months manipu-
1ation.
The markets for provisions to-
day, without the support which
those firms have been in the habit
of giving them, were extremely
weak. There was a drop of 81 pei
barrel in pork and 81 per loC
pounds in lard. When the crowd
saw that hog meats were aban-
doned by their late supporters
there was general rush to unload
resulting in the heavy decline
referred 10. The big drop in the
price of provisions was the prin-
c;pal feature in the markets to-day.
Everything else was similarly
affected, but at a less depressing
extent than the provision. deal.

. RALEIGH. N. c., March 10
News reached here to-day OF a
remarkable fight in Cleveland
county, near the South Carolina
line. Two men, named Trout and
Hutchins, were removing a
a beehive, about which they had
wrapped a cloth. Two men named
Mcdaniel met them, ,and a quarrel
and fight followed. Hutchins
stripped the cloth from the hive,
and placing it over his head held
the hive in front as he advanced
toword the McDaniels. Bees poured
out and savagely attacked the
latter who had to retreat. One OF
them shot Hutchins in the
shoulder, but he advanced with his
novel Gatling gun, and sided by
the bees drove the McDaniels over
the line into South Carolina.

regard to the prospects of cholera

Their statements were full of
bloomy fofebodings. They believe
the appearance of the cholera is
almost inevitable, and for various
reasons they fear that it will be
widespread and disastrous in its
results so that every human effort
that can be put forth by the gov
ernment and the people to prevent
its spread or lessen ITS destructive

Azure for Hog. Disease.

Joel Smith, farmer who lives
about ten miles from Waycross,
Ga, has discovered simple and
successful remedy for diseases OF
all kinds among hogs. Previous to
the discovery of this remedy Mr.,
Smith lost large number of hog;
from the cholera. The farmers will
appreciate the remedy. -,
The remedy is ball potash. The i
food is put in trough and the
potash is mixed thoroughly with !:
the food. One ball of potash is
sufficient for fifty hogs. The dose
is repeated about once every two
months. The hogs are slow to ea'
the mixture at first, but they sooI
learn to eat it.
Since Mr.. Smith has been
treating his hogs with the above
named remedy there has been nc
sickness among .. them. The hog'
belonging to his neighbors have
died from cholera and; his hogs
remained in healthy ii .t,iSandition
Several farmers have tfisd mf
Smiths remedy and found TIM
result gratifying.

Rupture of Intestines Caused BY
a Tapew0fm.

In a recent. number of the New
York Medical Journal, DR.. Fayotte
Dunlap describes a case OF resec-
ton of the small intestine for rup-
ture caused by a tapaworm. When
he saw the patient be believed that
there was an ectopic CESSATION with
ruptursd sac. On the abdomen
being opened the pelvis was seen
to be filed with recent blood-clot,
and a tapeworm was found pro-
truding from a large ragged rup-
turs in the small intestine. About
two-thirds of the lumen OF the
intestine was gone, the edges were
ragged and gangrenous, but it wss
quite evident that there had been
no previous liberation. The dam
aged part was resected and the
ends united by the continuous
suture after the manner of Lem
bert. Vomiting was continuous
for thirty hours after the opera
ton and only ceased after a large
enema of an ounce each OF glycer-
inc and sulpbs:e of magnesium
and q quart of hot water. From
The abdomen there was removed
about eight feet of live tapeworm,
and with the enema there came
away seventeen feet more. DR..
Dunlap thinks the worm had be-
come entangled, and in the effort
to fres itself 80 eroded the wall as
to cause rupture. No antiseptics
were used.- The patient made a
good recovery.
