SOMETHING FROM JosEPHUs.

Professor Bratke, of Bonn, in the
ITheoloisches Litteraturblatt, of Leip-
sic, Nos 16 and IT, reports and dis
cusses literary find of considerabl
importance to Bible students-a new
testimony of the Jewish historian,
Josephus, concerning Christ. The new
testimony is found in certain acts re-
porting a religious discussion in Persia
in the fifth century between Greeks,
Jews and Christians, the question at
issue being the claims of Christ and of
Christianity. Just as Bratke was pre-
pairing these acts for Publication they
were issued almost simultaneously by
the German church historian Wirth,
Aus Orientalischen Chroniken," 1894,
and by the Russian savant, Vassiliev,
in his tAnecdota Graeco-ByZantina,"
l.. 1894 In the course of debate the
Christian disputant brings UP a long
list of Israelites, mostly taken from
the New Testament, such as John the
Baptist, Nicodemus, Joseph of Ara
mathea, Caiaphas, and others, and
closes the list with the remarkable
words: "Josephus, your historian, who
has spoken of Christ as a just and good
man. manifested from divine grace,
doing good to many through signs and
wonders" This testimony, which SEEM
ingly has never before been utilized by
Christian historians, is regarded by
Bratke as a testimony concerning
Christ entirely independent of the one
in the Antiquities; and by it's contents
and wording, very probably historically
correct, antedating even the other and
doubtful testimony.-Sunday School

THE PHILOSOPHY OF sTERNE.

Il. u.
OF all the classic English writers, there
is no other, perhaps, who fares SO badly
! in the present age as Sterne. 1t would
scarcely be an exaggeration to say that
his faults, both as man and author, are
the very faults for which this age has the
least charity, and that his virtues, both
as man and author, are those which at
present are least esteemed. Sterne is UNI
deniably loose, sometimes even indecent,
in his writings, and viewed in the light
of a parish priest, he falls infinitely be-
low what is now required OF person IN
that position. The Rev. Laurence Sterne
probably never in his life presided at a
mothers meeting, or held a weekday ser
vice, or tasted for the sake Of religion.
Moreover, Sterne'S reputation has re-
ceived some savage thrusts from writer's
who were competent to do it great IN
jury. Byron's epigrammic sentence tpar-
APPRAISED from Horace Walpole) that
Sterne preferred whining over dead
donkey to relieving the necessities OF
living mother" was as cruel as it was
unjust Its injustice is shown IN Fltz-
gerald's life of Sterne, and is particularly
established by some recently discovered
evidence. Thackerays estimate OF Sterne
in his English humorists, is not so fla
GRAVITY unfair as his estimate of Dean
Swift. but still it is very misleading, and
doubtless it has misled many people who
naturally but enormously thought that
Thackeray would treat real men as just
ly and discriminatory as he treats the
unique creations OF MS OWN Hlllu
Above all, Sterne failed to take either
himself or the world seriously; and that
from our present point of-view, is almost
an objectionable fault If Sterne had
formulated his paganism in a system.
writing two or three dull, serious volumes
about 1t; if. instead of flirting with every
pretty woman who came in his way, he
had simply broken two or three hearts
for his own edfication, after the manner
of Goethe-if such had been his course,
we should find it easier to appreciate
him. 2
For the same reason-that is, the serl-
BUSINESS of the age-even Sterne's style,
beautiful as it is hardly suffices to re-
deem him. We have had. to be sure,
within the past fifty years. some great
examples of styles in literature, such as
Cardinal Newman in England, and Haw-
thorne in this country; but, on the whole.
style is thing which writers have al
most ceased to cultivate, and which read
ers do not much enjoy. If one consid-
ers the magazine and review literature
of the present time, one is struck by the

BEE KEEPERS. ASSOCIATION.
Ar Interesting Session of the Terri
toriaI Organixa ton Yesterday

4
| The Utah Bee Keepers association
met yesterday according to adjourn
ment, with all the officers present ex-
cept the secretary.
George e. Dudley, of Provo, was
chosen secretary in place of Mr.. John
c. Swaner resigned.
The president addressed the meeting,
making interesting remarks upon the
shipping of Utah honey to distant mar
ketS, and also upon the best methods
of wintering bees and Strengthening
weak colonies SO as to have them strong
at the dawn of the honey flow.
On motion of Mr.. J. S. Scott, of
Springville, a committee Of three was
appointed by the president to confer
with the proper railroad officials of the
various roads. in regard to obtaining
| lower rates for the shipment of honey
from this territory to eastern markets
The following members were selected
for the aforesaid committee: Mr.. Scott,
MIR. Reese and Mr.. Dudley.
1t appeared, from the discussion that
followed, that railroad rates were con-
siderably greater from Utah to Chicago
and intermediate points than from Cali
fornia to those places. Such discrimina-
ton by the railroads met with the dis
approval of the members and steps
were taken to place the matter before
the proper authorities-in order to get
rates reduced.
A discussion followed relative to fix
ing the price of honey for the home
market, but nothing definite was ar
rived at.
The wintering OF bees next claimed
the attention Of the convention. AS
much loss has been sustained in winter
ing colonies of bees in Utah, Mr.. Scott,
OF Springville, was requested to give
his method of wintering, as he has been
unusually successful in his home apiary.
He said he used the eight frame Lang
stroth hives and set them side by side
and close together on 2x4 inch strips
of lumber. He packed the backs with
saw-dust, after having nailed boards
along the back ends of the hives, about
one inch from the hives TO receive it.
He placed an empty super upon each
hive and nearly filled it with leaves
and sawdust and put the fat board
hive cover (Which he uses) on the top
of the super. Over all these he places
a simple board roof that lies loosely
upon these covers. BY this means there
is a slight upward ventilation through
each hive that carries off the dampness
and keeps the bees dry and healthy
and prevents loss.
Interesting remarks were also made
by Mr.. George Hone, of BENJAMIN, and
others on the same subject. A paper
was received from Alex Nc. D. Frazier,
the bee inspector, of Tooele county,
which was ordered read and was placed
on file. This report stated the total
number of colonies in said county to
be 647, and the number of pounds of
honey produced to be about 1880
pounds.
President Lovesy, in a very able man.
ner, presented to the convention the
necessity of crowding the hives with
bees by the time the honey flow COM
mences, in order to accomplish the best
results.
The business of the convention being
satisfactorily accomplished, the meeting
adjourned to the usual time next
spring.

BY the middle of the week the fac
tory Of the Utah Sugar company will
have produced since the commencement
OF active operations this season half q
million pounds of sugar, the 400, 000

when a slump of 121ht cents occurred.
Everything at the factory is working
with the greatest smoothness, and the

than during any former run, one reason
being the improved character of the
beets being worked.
