modern style of Assessing.

A lady residing on Geary str eet, San
Francisco, writes as follows to the Ex-
aminer:
Two men came to this house about
IL 80 a. m. today, and without ringing
the bell, knocking at the door or intro
ducing themselves in any way walked
blusteringly into the first room they
came to, coolly took chairs at the table.
and without any ceremony whatever de-
manded in the most abrupt and impu-
dent manner the name of the landlady.
was naturally surprised and frightened,
and wished to know who they were and
why they desired such information
The men replied that it didn't make any
difference whatever who they were or
what they wanted, as they had author
ity and must have things their own way,
otherwise they would make it hot for
her. But they didn't show any badge
or paper of authority whatever, as L
daresay they thought their word and ap-
pearance sufficient. They simply en-
tered TRADE of foul abuse, walked to
every door in the house, tried the locks
anu kuOCkSQ 11hO 1uAdb4CSs
ately there was nobody In the rooms at
the time who might have kicked them
out or called policeman to arrest them.
After they had given this exhibition of
cowardly rowdyism they then casually
dropped the remark that they were tax
assessors, and that they were in posi-
ton to, and would undoubtedly, wipe
tie landlady and the house off the face
of the earth. But they left nothing to
prove their great authority. For aught
I know they may have been burglars.
But, assuming that they are assessors
what right have they as public servants
to enter peoples houses and transact
business in such a manner? When
public servants become disreputable and
abusive hoodlums they should be
speedily replaced by decent and polite
men, of whom there are SO many here.
But whether they are burglars o.
deputy tax assessors, Z am an American
and demand protection.
The great daily has inquired into th'
case and will prosecute the assessor.

Breckinridge-Polla trial. The princi--
pal actor in the local affair, according to
the Rocky Mountain News, is II. E..
Sims, member of the Ninth general
assembly frow Arapahoe county. Sims
for some time has been engaged to a
daughter of a prominent Capitol Hill
family, and the date of the wedding
had been set for March 10. After
deceiving the girl, Sims induced her
to go to Pueblo on visit, and while
there he married Miss Harriet Landon,
teacher in one of the city public
schools and most estimable lady. The
couple are now in California on a bridal
tour. 1t is understood the wife was
unconscious of her husbands duplicity.
The betrayed girl knew nothing of the
secret marriage until her return home
to prepare for her own wedding. It
is feared the shock will be serious in it's
results.

already turned out over 500, 900 standard
silver dollars, using the same amount OF
silver and alloy as the government.
The place has been in operation for
some time, and it is said it is impossi-
BILE to detect the difference between the
money made by the counterfeiters and
the Igenuine turned out by the federal
mints. The profits of the gang are
made from the fact that the market
price of silver is 60 low, which is said to
give the makers rake-of of 81 cents on
each dollar made. The secret-service
men have secured clue which they be-
lieve will result in the entire gang being

The OLDEST LOCK.
1t Was Made of Wood and Its Key was
Remarkably Large.

1t WEB lu80e OF MOOQ ana IC8 Key was
Remarkably Large.
In the History of Nineveh and Its
Palaces by Joseph Bonomi, we find a
description of perhaps the Oldest lock
ever discovered, says Hardware. IT
was used in securing the gates in one
of the palaces of Khorsabad. In de-
dscribing this ancient piece of hard
ware, if such terms may be applied to
wooden locks, he says: AT the end of
the chamber. just behind the first bulls,
was formerly a strong gate of one leaf.
which was fastened by large wooden
lock, like those still used in the east,
of which the key is as much as man
can conveniently carry, and by bar
which moved into a square hole in the
wall.
1T is to a key of >this description
that the prophet probably alludes:
And the key of the house of David
will lay upon his shoulder and it is
remarkable that the word for key in
this passage of Scripture, .muftah,' is
the same in use all over the east at the
present time. The key of an ordinary
street door is commonly thirteen or
fourteen inches long and the key of
the gate of public building or-of a
street or OF quarter of town is two
feet or more in length.
''The iron pegs at one end of the
piece of wood correspond to SO many
holes in the wooden bar or bolt of the
lock, which when the door or gate is
shut cannot be opened until the key
has been inserted and the impediment
to the drawing back of the bolt re-
moved by raising up SO many iron pins
that fall down into holes in the
bar or bolt corresponding to the peg in
the key,
This description and others of cor
roboratory character prove that this
form of lock and key was IN use in
Egypt four or five thousand years, dur
ing which extended period of time it
does not appear to have undergone any
successful change.

CARRYING POWER OF BEES.
The Insects Transport Twice Their Own
VTa5OIt IN the Wine

The Insects Transport Twice Their Own
Weight on the Wing.
An interesting note about the weight
of bees appears in an American jour
nal devoted to agriculture. 1t seems
that an ordinary bee. not carrying any
load of pollen, weighs the one five
thousandth part of pound. Five
thousand bees thus make a pound
weight. When, however, the bee is
carrying his load of pollen or honey,
as he returns from foraging amid the
flowers. his weight is increased nearly
three times. He carries thus about
twice his own weight, result not sur
prising to those who have studied the
muscular powers and ways of insects
at large. When bees are loaded it re-
quires only eighteen hundred of them
to make up the pound. Details are
also given regarding the number of
bees which may exist in q hive. From
four to five pounds weight of bees are
found in an ordinary colony. This
means in figures of population. some
twenty to twenty-five thousand
indiyiduals. A big swarm, it is said.
will often double this estimate. Talk
ing of bees, if any of my readers wish
to indulge in a very curious and fas-
cinating bit of geological study, they
should read the story of what is called
'parthenogenesis'' in bees and other
insect, such as the aphides or green
flies of the roses and other plants. For
such eggs of the queen bee as are fer
tilted when laid turn out workers Tor
neuters) or queens, while those which
are not fertilized at all develop into
males or drones. This is very singular,
because fertilization of an egg or seed
is regarded ordinarily as necessary for
its due development.

THE RULER OF ALL RUSSIA.

Many Ways in Which the Autocrat's Gem

-Cz,'' it says, lis against the usage of
all Slavonic languages. The word was
so spelled by Herberstein in Rerum
Muscovit Commentarii, 1549, the chief
early source of information as to Rus

passed into the western languages gem

WASHINGTON, March 20.-Cross-ex-
animation of the plaintiff in the Pollard
Breckinridge case was continued this
morning. It began with the identifca-
tion and reading of letters written by
Miss Pollard to her protector, Rhodes,
in November, 1884, in which she asks
him to make a special effort to get
money to pay her board, suggesting that
he borrow it, and adding an invitation
to come at certain hour to see her,
saving they would be alone and have a
pleasant time.
At the end of 1884 she wrote to him
from Bridgeport, KY. She wrote him
asking for money, and signing "Yours
with love-" In FEBRUARY, 1885, just be-
fore she was going away for the birth OF
her first child, she reproached him for
not sending her money and told him il
he did not bring it he need not come tc
see her.
Among the letters were two dated
New Orleans, postmarked Tooles
borough, Ky. Witness admitted she
never was in New Orleans. There were
various others asking for money. She
went on to say these demands fol

Legends OF Race Color.

The color OF the skin in the various
races of man has never as yet been
scientifically accounted for, although
numerous psychological stories have
been told and senseless theories adj
vnnced as reasons for the remarkable
variations in hue. Nor have we any
certain data concerning the color OF
the cuticle OF the primeval man, the
original ''lord OF creation" A pretty
African legend is that he was as black
as the proverbial ace of spades and
that the present pale color Of the eau
cusian race is the result of the scare
God gave Adam at the time of the fall.
Ii Is proper to state here that the
same legend says that the present
black race are descendants of one of
Adams sons that was born and left
Eden before the great change in color

nesc believe that the original man was

that his color came about as result
