In America it has been observed that bees often bore tubular corollas in order to get at the nectar of flowers instead of entering by the mouth, as humblebees do in Europe. In essays on the crossfertllization of flowers this supposed anomaly has been the sub ject of much comment It now appears that the humblebees of Europe and America have identical habits in re- gard to the manner in which the visits 10 flowers are made, and that it is the class of insects known as the carpenter bee, or the borer, which works in the outside manner indicated

YOUNG MEN IN THE SENATE.

Moro Numerous Now Than In the Days of
 Zach Chandler.
 At the time Zach Chandler was first 8 member of the senate he was one of the youngest members of that body. Besides having youthful appearance, ali the other men seemed quite old to hin. On the last day of the first term of Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, Chandler and he sat in the barber shop and ehatted about events of the session, and finally Chandler began talking about his earlier career, says the Wash inRton Star.
 When l went to Detroit, he said ''tberc were not more than fifty houses in the place. Now it has become one of the leading cities in the west Michigan was territory, and we had some pretty hard times there, but stuck to it, and have been rather sue cessful. Why" he added, rather proud ly, "I was elected to the senate when 1 was fOrty-four years old
 That's nothing,' aswered Senator Mitchell, laconically.
 "Nothingl' exclaimed Chandler. Well, consider it great deal to have been elected to the United States senate at forty-four."
 Wen, replied Mitchell, quietly, "I have served six years in the senate and nm not forty-fOur yet
 'I give it up," responded Chandler. You have the best of me The further west we go the more push we have
 Senator Mitchell is still a young looking man, yet there is only one man in the senate who was senator when he w0s first sworn in who has served continuously. That is Senator Merrill, of Vermont Sherman, of Ohio, and Stewart, of Nevada, were members of the senate at the time Senator Mitchell was elected, but both have been out, Senator Sherman as secretary of the treasury for four years, and Senator Stewart six years, while another man represented Nevada. Senator Mitchell's first term began in 1873. After serving six years he was defeated, a democratic legislature having been chosen. Six years later he was again elected, and has since been reelected.

Kitchens In thc rroplcs.

The kitchens of tropical countries, such as are to be found in our Spanish American lands, are like cells, from the thickness of the stone walls-often two or three feet deep-and the projecting omnipresent veranda, which gives q grateful shade, and which looks out on a court The cell resemblance is en- hanced by the iron bars at the windows and the heavy double doors, which look as if they could resist a siege. The walls are whitewashed and the floors are of tiles. The dining-room is often separated from this room by long staircase; outside the kitchen, in the court, will stand table and closets, to supplement- the scant furniture of the small, hot apartment with furnace like fire.

WHY THE NEGRO LOVES REST.
Historic Explanation That It Is Part O
 His RAra Heritazc.


 His Race Heritage.
 "There are some things about the negro character, said southern man as reported by the Chicago Tribune, which you folks can never understand because you don't see that peculiar character as closely as we do First and foremost, it is next to impossible to get good continuous service out of the negro. Whether as river rousta- bout, furm hand, or general workman in business employment in the cities he's naturally a restless creature. One Atlanta man, who had gone into this branch thoroughly and compared notes for many years with people in different southern states, claimed that about three holidays a week was the usual quota of the co!ored hand, and he traces this propensity centuries back to the heart of Africa, where the savage the ology for unknown ages has taught, and in some interior tribes still teaches, the doctrine of work and rest alternat- ing by successive days Hence this propensity is all legitimate race heri- tage. His father had a negro from in- terior Africa, big man of his tribe, and he caused a small panic on the plantation by inaugurating revolt against six days of labor a week on religious grounds. No matter what his own necessities or those of his family may be the average colored man to- day in Dixie, so he says, is good for two or three days rest in week No mat ter what the exigencies of harvest it's well-nigh impossible to hold him in line on continuous labor With the south practically dependent on this class of help it leaves that region under big industrial cloud, which nothing but the introduction of white blood will remove n

Coal in ,h. rnIted states.

The production of coal in the United States during the ten years from 1888 to 1893 increased G2 per cent, accord ing to statistics recently compiled. In England the supply is stationary, while in other principal European countries it has increased during the same time from 20.to S5 per cent. It is stated that the utilization of coal represents a greater surplus of wealth than the ex- portation of the same amount IL is iu- teresting, therefore, to note that the United States uses practically all the coal mined within it's limits.

The city council has done its share to-
ward settling the tide lands controversy.
II has vacated a plat which represented
streets in water, and the work Of the
land commission will no longer be retard-
ed by the city's failure to act. 1t takes
the vote of the entire council TO pass an

ing. the entire council may be held re-
spcnsible. IL should be said, however.
that although the board Of aldermen had
taken considerable time TO discuss the
matter. they did finally pass the orein-
ance some weeks ago. and the later delay
was due TO the caution OF the house OF
delegates.
1t VIII be conceded that the council has
acted in perfect good faith. and with
thorough desire TO do what was for the
best interests OF the city. but the trouble
was that the time was slipping by and
something had to be done.

The people Of North Seattle are said 10
be dissatisfied with the new plat,

should have a hearing. The passage
of the vacating ordinance IN no way
jeopardizes their interests. but they feared
that the adoption of the first proposed or

have seriously hampered them in secur-
ing what they believe TO be due them.
Whatever public opinion can DO in sup
port of a modification of the plat, so as
10 avoid unnecessary injury to property
rights, should be heartily given when the
question comes up for settlement before
the land commission.

THE CHANGE IN LOUISIANA.

in the South has made some inroads in

Louisiana and some OF the industrial dis

tial or permanent breaking away to Re-
publicanism. The South is getting out
of the old rut and separating itself from
the old ideas which have prevailed for so
long "A time, and. with its new develop
rSent has followed a slight breaking down
81 narrow party lines and an expression
OF political sentiments which some years
ago would have been regarded as rank
hcresies.
One OF tho noticeable changes OF late
years has been the rise among the Demo-
Gratis OF Louisiana OF feeling that the
interests OF the state and Of themselves
would be better suhserved by the presence
OF a Republican administration at Wash

they propose 70 support the party which
does the most for them. This. Of course.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Although the country has been through
terrible times during the last two years
and half. few people realize how mar
row an escape there has been from even
greater distress and disaster more wide
spread. Had the Wilson bill passed In its
original form. and rs the administration
vainiy sought to have 1t passed, there
