HONEY LOVING BIRDS.
They Sometimes Have Battles With Bees
For the Street. Booty.

The love for sweet things is a craving
of nature in all living creatures, and
birds will sometimes run great risks to
satisfy it, Bears in their eagerness to
get at the honey III a hollow tree will
sometimes wedge themselves into so
! small hole as to endanger their lives,
and many forest birds, such as wood
peckers, blue jays and thrushes, will
run the danger of being stung to death
in their endeavors to obtain the sweet
honey that the bees store in the hollow
trunks Of trees. Sometimes they will
attack bees on the wing and snap them
up for the tiny speck of nectar contained
position near beehives and fish all day
for honey. Every returning bee is
caught, but not devoured, for birds will
kill the bee only that they may sip up
the honey. Unless driven away few
such bird robbers would soon depopu-
late hive.
Occasionally the bees organize and
fight the birds. They issue in body
from the hive and make bold attack
upon the assassins. In the quick, sharp
conflict that follows the birds invaria-
bly, get defeated. Indeed they do not at
tempt to resist the onslaught, but seek
>efety in flight. If the bees surround
one of the birds quickly enough, there
is little hope for the robber. They settle
down upon him and sting him to death.
He may fly away, but the bees cling to
his back and sides tenaCiously. His
flight soon becomes less energetic and
more and more uncertain until at last
he drops to the earth and gasps out his
life among the leaves and bushes, while
the bees return triumphantly to their
home.
In the wild forests the honey loving
birds sometimes make an organized at
tempt to drive the bees away from their
home in the hollow trunk of a tree.
They first discover the place of the hid
den treasure by following the bees on a
warm, sunny day, and if there be an
opening in the tree large enough to adj
nit them they plunge down the hole in
body.
Then there follows a sharp conflict
inside the tree, the birds swapping at the
bees and cutting them in two at each
snap. The only chance for the bees is to
light on the backs and sides of the
birds. If they fail to do this, they are
soon routed, and the rich treasures of
sweets are captured by the enemies.
These battles terminate i'll various ways,
sometimes the bees and sometimes the
birds coming out victorious. Our Ami

The Way of Long Twilight.

On first thought it seems to. be q
rather paradoxical statement that the
nearer we approach to the equator the
shorter is that intermediate stage or
transition from day to night and from
night to day, which we call twilight. "
This being the case, however, the period
of duration of 1.-THE dim, uncertain
light" in all tropical countries is very
short when compared with that of coun-
tries of high northern or southern latl-
tude. The explanation is this: On the
equator the suns path is at exact right
angles with the horizon. The last beam
of light fades from view when the sun
is at IS degrees below the horizon
This IS degree mark is g.4ickly reached
at the equator for reasc-.s given IN the
first sentence of this explanation. The
farther from the equator we get the less
become the angles which the sun s
course makes with the horizon, and the
longer the time required for hlm &c
reach the Is degree mark; hence the
longer the period If twilight. Louis

THE FIRST Strike ON RECORD.
1t Occurred In Rome and Took Place In
the Year 500 Is. c.

Livy, in his famous book, '"The An
mails" 8, 30, relates in the following
suggestive words the story of singular
strike which occurred in Rome in the
year 800 B. G. and was probably the
first strike ever known:
That year occurred an event little
worthy Of being related, and which l
would pass in silence had it mot appeared
as involving religion. The flute players,
dissatisfied because the latest censors
had forbidden them to take part in the
banquet in Jupiter's temple, according
to the ancient custom, withdrew, every
one of them, to Thur, so that nobody
was left at Rome to play during the sac
rifices This incident shocked the reli-
gious sentiment of the senate, and the
senator's sent messengers to invite the in
habitants of Thur to make every effort
in order that the players should be re-
stored to the Romans The Tiburtines
having promised not to neglect any
thing necessary for that purpose, caused
the flute players to come to the place
where the senate met and exhorted them
to go back to Rome. Seeing that they
could not prevail upon them to do SO,
they employed a strategem in keeping
with their character.
On day of festival, under pretext
that music would increase the joy of the
feast, every citizen invited the flute
players individually to his house, and
wine, of which people of that profession
are usually fond, was given to them in
such quantities that they fell into a
deep sleep They were then thrown into
wagons and transported to Rome They
only became aware of what had hap
pened on the day after, when dawn
surprised them lying on the carts,
which had been left in the forum. A
large crowd had assembled, and they
were induced to promise that they would
remain at Rome The right of attend
ing the banquets was restored to these
flute players. New York Tribune.

MAI. BACON'S STRENGTH
OF THE DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATIVE
CANDIDATES so FAR NOMINATED
HE HAS a CLEAR LEAD.

%ot a Sectional Caadidate--Endorseme
and Pledges of support Come to Him
From All Sections of the: State
other Political Gossip.
From the Macn Telegraph.
Ir will take something out of the COM
mon to prevent Maj A. O. Bacon from
representing Georgia in the United
States senate for the term beginning
March 4, 1895. The newspaper extracts
which the Telegraph has printed from
time to time has shown that more of the
weekly newspapers of the state desire to
sac Mai Bacon succeed senator Walsh
than favor the candidacy of all the other
asp1rants combined, and the Telegraph
knows that the weekly newspapers come
pretty near rejecting the views of the
people of the state.
That this is the case, careful study of
the political situation in the stateproves.
of the 1877 counties in the state seventy
three, with ninetysix members of the
legislature, have made their nominations
so far as the democrats are concerned,
while thirty-four of the democratic can
,didaSes for the state senate have been
practically nominated.
A careful canvass of the gentlemen who
have been nominated shows that sixty
five, or just half Of them, are for Maj.
Bacon. Few of these sixty.i five will fail
of election.
This is the strength which is practi
cally certain for him, and among some
of the the other sixty-five men who may
90 to the legislature has friends who will
be more likely to vote for him than any
of the other men who are now in the
race.
There is every reason to believe that
this ratio will be fully kept up with the
eighty nine men who are yet to be nom
mated.
Among the counties which have abso-
Iutely instructed their representatives to
vote for Maj. Bacon are Floyd, Hancock,
Houston, Oglethorpe, Ebert, Terrell,
Twiggs and Washington.
These counties represent nearly every
section of the state and show the wide
spread strength and popularity of the
next United States senator.

THE FAMILY GOAT.
An Unappreciated Milk Producer Whose
Forage Is Cheap.

EOraSe rs Cheaps
The goat as a milk producer is hardly
appreciated in this country. But in the
old world the family goat is only less
esteemed than the family COW. The milk
is considered better than that from Jer-
sey COWS for culinary purposes.
There is, moreover, one great adyan-
tage in goat keeping over cows. It is
this-that COW usually provides a
much larger quantity Of milk than can
be utilized in its natural state in the
household, the consequence being that
either portion must be converted into
butter so many times week, necessitat-
ing labor which is not always profitable
and frequently unsatisfactory in its re-
suits, or some of the milk has to be sold,
entailing other inconvenience.
With a goat, on the contrary, this
difficulty can never arise. A good speci-
men will generally provide a small
household with enough milk for genera
use during eight months of the year.
Were the plan once started no doubt
many American village jewellers who
cannot afford to keep COW would find
that a milk goat would answer the pur-
pose fairly we'll.
Goats will consume leaves and rough
forage that COWS will not touch, and
they are sure to get good living SO
long as any digestible material is with
in their reach. &c. G. Hills in Massa-

The Laws Delay
In a recent lawsuit in Washington
the court was frequently compelled to
cut short the cross examination of wit
nesses by a certain lawyer who was said
to believe in 1.-THE quantity rather than
the quality Of questions. " His point
evidently was to make the case last as
long as possible, The following, which
is given as an illustration of the man
ner of his questioning, exemplifies the
remoteness from common sense OF some
of the methods of law practice:

Here are 10 questions, nine of which
are unnecessary. But if the lawyer had
succeeded somewhere in the question

witness he would have made small

his clients point of view his long wind
