Bees in the Branch.

The Saturday Review.
The part played by bees on a
ceetain occasion was, if the Able
della Roca is to be believed
equally effective. "Amurath, the
Turkish Emperor" says our
authority, during one of his sieges,
had made a bre5ch in the wall,
and was about 50 storm the town,
when be found that about the
breach the inhabitants had placed
numerous hives of bees. The
Janissaries, brave as they were,
dared rot face the insects, and re-
fused to advance"
There is also a story which we
cannot bring ourselves to believe,
of privateer's crew Of forty, to
fifty men capturing a Turkish GAL
ley with five hundred seamen and
soldiers on board by means of a
swarm of bees judiciously thrown
among the unspeakable ones.
However this may be, there are
enough authentic instance of
strange methods of attack to pro-
vide amply sufficient material for
the casuist in deciding what is
fair and What is unfair in war.
Burning naphtha boiling lead,
birds, carcesses of men and horses
Chinese stinkpots, besides the inn
plements, already mentioned, have
all been used for offensive or de-
fensive purposes in actual warfare.
And what with our modern systems
of dazzling by electric light, sub
marine attacks, flying machines,
and elaborate tethal apparatus, it
seems not improbable that we are
on the eve of resorting 10 some of
the more fanciful methods Of

The Serpent's Powers.

Ihe power OF cOnClnulhS mollon-
less, with the lifted head projec-
ting forward, for an indefinite time
is one of the most wonderful of
the serpent's muscular feats, and
is of the highest Importance to the
animal both when fascinating its
victim and when mimicking some
inanimate object, as, for instance
the stem and bud of an aquatic
plant; here it is only referred to on
account of the effect, it produces
on the human mind, as enhancing
the serpent's strangeness. In this
attitude, with tie round, unwink-
ing eyes fixed on the beholder's
face, the effect may be very curious
and uncanny.
Ernest Glanville, South
Afric an writer, thus describes his
own experience. When boy he
frequently went out in the bush a
in quest Of game, and on one of
these solitary excursions he sat
the shade pf q vii
lon OH the bank 3 ska, low owf
stream SITTING there, with chez
resting On his hand, he fell into a
boyish reverie. After some time
be became aware in a vague way
that on the white sandy bottom of
the stream there was stretched a
l,ng black line which had not
been there at first. He continued
for some time regarding it without
recognizing what it was; but all at
once, with an inward shock be-
came fully conscious that he was
looking at a large snake.
"Presently, without apparent
motion, so softly and silently was
it done, the snake reared its head
above the surface and held it there
erect and still with cleaning eyes
fixed on me in question of what [
was. 1t flashed upon me then that
it would be good opportunity to
test the power of the humel eye
on a snake, and I set myself the
task of looking it down. 1t was a
foolish effort. The bronze head
and sinewy neck, about which the
water flowed without a ripple,
were as if carved in stont and the
cruel unwinking eyes, with the
light coming aid going in them
appeared to glow the brighter the
longer I looked. Gradually there
came over me a sensation of
sickening fear, which, if I had
yielded to it, would have left me
powerless to move; but with q cry
I leapt up, and seizing fallen
willow branch, attacked the reptile
with a species of fury. i n
Probably the idea of the Icanti
originated in similar experience
of some native"
The Icanti, it must be explained
is powerful and malignant being
that takes the form of a great SER
pent and lies at night in some deep
dark pool; and should a man in
cautiously approach and look down
into the water he would be held
there by the power of the great
cleaning eyes, and finally drawn
down against his will, powerless
and speechless, to disappear fore
ever in the black depths.

business. The material of the nest
is made of seaweed, crushed by
the bird in it's crop and drawn out
in fbers with which the nest is
woven and fastened to the side of
a cliff. These nests are seldom
larger than three inches in diane
ter. 1t is big job to clean them,
and they are cooked with pigeons
eggs and spices into a soup. When
cooked they look like isinglass, and
it takes an artist to prepare them
for the table: Among the other
curious things consumed by the
Chinese are shark fins and salted
ducks. Ducks are salted and dried
as we dry beef, and you will find
salted ducks and geese everywhere.
The Chinese are very fond of
pumpkin seed and watermelon
seed, and at their big dinners they
often have these beside each plate
for their guests to nibble at be-
tween the courses. Col. DENLY,
our minister to China, described a
dinner to me at which there were
sixty courses, and dinners of one
hundred courses are not unknown.
In looking over a Chinese bill of
fare I see many appetizing tid-bits.
Here, for instance, is course of
ducks livers, one of the fried roofs
of tbs mouths of pigs, another Of
the cooked webbed-fret of ducks,
a third of fish fins, and fourth
of pigeon eggs. The bread of d.
ferent Asiatic nations is worthy of
mention. In China, Indie, Japan,
and Korea, by 10 means all the
people live upon rice. In North
China much wheat is used, and
Northern India is one of the great.
est wheat growing districts of the
world. The Chinese boil all their
bread instead of baking it, or, if
baked al all, it is Drowned after
boiling. In North India and North
China millet is largely used. Both
Chinese and japanese are fond of
sweet cake, and in Japan one of
the most popular cakes IS almost
exactly like our aponge cake. 1t is
said to lave been brought over
from Holland by the Dutch Chris
tians when they came to Japan
years ago, aid you Will now find

Some Of the best candy I have
ever eaten I bought of pig-tailed
merchant in the Chinese city of
Peking. He had nut candy of all
kinds, and he told me he imported
son1e of his nuts from Mongolia
for his shop. The Smyrna fig paste
is noted the world over, and you
will find it in every confectioner' S
store in the country.
A large part of the 2SO,00O,O0O
inhabitants of India eat with their
fingers. The Burmese do not know
the use of chop-sticks, and the
Siamese have the same table uten-
sils as were used by Adam and
Eve. The 4Oo,000,0OO Cinnamon
use in the neighborhood of 1,OOO,-
100000 chop-sticks every morning,
noon, and night, and The Korean
carries his chop-sticks with him
wherever he goes. The chop-stick
is about as big around as a slate
pencil, and not much longer. They
are made of wood, ivory, or metal,
and the emperor is said to use chop
sticks of gold. 1t is customary ct
a first-class hotel in Japan to give
each guest fresh pair of unused
chop-sticks at every meal, and the
sticks are so cheap that they cost
practically nothing.

ityto be present 4 paper was
read BY Professor Shield MI choison
on the fall in the general level of
prices in relation to the apprecia-
tion of gold aud the divergence in
the relative value fgold and silver
and general discussion of the
subject followed. The conference
was presided over by Lord Mayor
Tyler.
Cablegrams were road from
United States Senators Sherman,
Voorhees,. Aldrich. Murphy,
Brice, Platt, Davis, Carey, and
Cullom wishing success to the con-
ference in the cause of bimetallism
in England.
A. J. Balfour, IN the course of
the discussion, said he did not
believe the government regulation
of coinage, if it were done in the
direction of making it more stable
and fairer measure of value, could
be justifably opposed. The nations
of the world were now, he said,
standing face to face with a great
danger which could only be aver
ted by the rehabilitation of silver
to its proper commercial function.
In order to do this International
action was absolutely necessary.
Balfour said that there were three
questions with which. bimetallism
had to cope. They were these:
Was a double standard possible?
Was it just? Was it expedlent?
Scientists and economists answer
these questions with an overwhelm-
ing EYES," He would not say
whether the closing of the Indian
mints was a wise step, but he did
not doubt that it was the most
striking attempt that a civilized
government had ever made to solve
monetary difficulty that was
directly due to monometallism.
Mr.. Balfour said he saw signs
of a change in English opinion.
The leading commercial men had
abandoned their form of hostility
to bimetallism and come to the
conclusion that the only way to
meet the grave danger was to res
tore silver to its former place as
circulating medium.
Mr.. Balfour also said it was a
m ere dream to suppose that each
state was able to regulate its own
currency Independently. 1t was
absurd to talk of taking an
isolated view of British currency
when then action of the United
States. which had not been taken
in concert with or from any
friendly feellny toward Great
Britain, had forced upon England
and India the adoption of the
astounding system which now pre-
vailed in India. England's pre-
sent isolation was selfish and

The Bishop Caper's Incident.

SIi'tiicStoH SuH.
In appointing the commissioners
to represent South Carolina IN
locating the position of the South
Carolina troops at the battle of
Chicamauga, Governor Tillman
significantly overlooked Bishop
Capers, who took part in the battle.
This slight arises doubtless from
the advice alleged to- have been
given the Columbia Guards at the
time of the Darlington disturbance
not to obey the Governors orders.
Gen. Capers has not given any
public sign concerning the report
Of Lift action, but we have heard
it stated on good authority that
privately he has been heard to say
that his real attitude in the mat
ter has been misrepresented.
The Governors Guards, accord
ing to this version, were debating
the subject of marching out of the
armory obedience to the Governors
orders. The streets were filled and
blocked at the time with excited
citizens who were said to be deter
mined that the company shonld
not go to Darlington. The situa-
tion was believed to be critical.
So much so, that Gen. Farley
himself, who was il the armory at
the time, and who believed that
twenty-five of the members of the
company would most certainly
have loft the building if the order
had been given, did not advise the
movement to be made under the
circumstances as he felt that a
riot-with possible bloodshed-
would have been precipitated. In
the advice given by the soldier
bishop he was moved, it is said, by
the same considerations which
weighed with Gen. Farley, and if
such was the case, it is highly
unjust that his action should
continue to bear the accepted in
depreciation.

Queen was chosen in the morning
by her peers at the village school,
and by the same cabal she was de-
throned at night. 1t is explained
by Cuthbert Bede that "a parasol
was her sceptre, and her crown q
wreath of flowers. These she al
ways bore with grace and dignity,
arrayed in a white gown and a
white veil, and a bag that display
ed white pocket-handkerchief."
Preceded by her maids Of honor
with the garlands, and followed by
her other attendants of both sexes,
her majesty made right legal tour
from door to door, depositing in her
bag, and by the side of handker-
chief, all the substantial gifts made
by her loyal subjects, these tithes,
usually edible, being consumed at
the coronation banquet. After the
sovereign and her court had par
taken freely of the votive offerings,
they played 81 spy % "Thread-the,
needle," and "Blind-man's bluff"
and they were usually all i'll the
next day."
The young people in Cornwall
used to hail May-day as dipping
day." They were wont to gather
the Towering branches of the
white-thorn or the narrow-leaved
elm (called May boughs) which
had just put forth their leaves,
and which they distributed among
their friends. In the afternoon all
the boys of the village, armed with
buckets, cans, dippers, or 'squirts,"
sailed out and availed themselves
of a license which the season con-
ferred to "dip" or douse all persons,
Of whatever rank or age, who were
not fortunate enough to be protect
ed by the display of the sprigs of
the elm or hawthorn which were
passed about in the morning.

 The large business done in wool dur ing the past three weeks has resulted in hardening of values all along the line. and the market closes in a stronger position than it has been for a year past. The sales hold on well consider ing the fact that the recent business has been strain on offerings, the business reported since July 10, foot ing up in excess of 23,000,00O pounds, which is the largest cver known in this market for the same time. There is considerable wool held out of the mar kct, as the owners prefer to take their chances and wait, but dealers as rule are disposed to keep supplies moving as long as manufacturers show dis position to buy. Prices have advanced 1! to 2c, all along the line, and if the free wool'' measure is passed. present quotations will be full price for the material, although with no bill through at Washington. of course the present market is much too low
