frequently lay down in the sarcophagus,
and finding it to be too small for his body
he left another direction that if necessary
his breast bone should be sawed through,
so that it might be doubled up and the
corpse laid in the coffin which he had so
carefully preserved for its reception. The

1t is too often true of the unhappy chill

their classes that they are cQnceited all the
forenoon Of life and stupid all its after

poses Of the hard struggle for existence in
practical life have been washed out of
them by preCociOus mental debauchery-
by book gluttony and lesson bibbing.
Their faculties are worn out by the strain
put upon their callow brains, and they are
demoralized by worthless childish tri-
umphs before the real work of life be-
gins. have no compassion for sloth, but

DEATH IN ITS SECRET.
Awful Destructiveness of illuminate of
Mercury, the Powerful Explosive.

Awful Destructiveness of illuminate of
Mercury, the Powerful Explosive.
illuminate Of mercury, which is used by
European anarchists in the manufacture
of their bombs is one of the most treach-
erous and powerful explosives known to
science. Heretofore it has been employed
in percussion caps and rs a detonator for
nitroglycorin preparations. 1t explodes
when subjected to a slight shock or to
heat, and not u few expert chemists since
its English inventor, Howard, have been
seriously injured or killed while preparing
or experimenting with it.
In France some years ago the celebrated
chemist Barruel was manipulating this
dangerous product in heavy agate NOR
tar when his attention was suddenly dis
tracted and he let the pestle down with
little less care than ordinary. The explo-
sion which followed almost literally blew
the mortar to dust, and it tore Barruel's
hand from his wrist. Another distinguish
ed chemist, Bellot, was blinded and had
both hands torn off while experimenting
with illuminate of mercury. Justin Leroy,
a French expert in the manufacture of OK
plosivos, was one day engaged in expert
menting with this compound in damp
state in which condition it was supposed
to be harmless. 1t exploded with such
force, however, that nothing of NJ. Leroy
that was recognizable could afterward be
found.
An English chemist named Hennell

use, into the composition of which fulmi-
nate Of mercury entered, was also blown

HONEYBEES.
The Sweating Process What 1t Does and
What II May Do.

The Sweating Process What 1t Does and
What II May Do.
Glover and sanfoin produce ten pounds
of honey per acre each fine day, and as
they flower twice and remain in full bios
som for a week at a vine The 70 acres, if
properly worked by the bees are expected
to yield moro than 10000 pounds of hon
ey. The triumph of the sweaters" art
is in inducing the bees to fetch this enor-
nous quantity of honey without neglect
ing the arrangements for storing it in the
hives. The honey, being liquid, must be
bottled, and bees will only put it in comb
of the exact size and texture which in
stinct has taught them. Combmaking is
also much lighter and safer work than
honey gathering, with it's dangers from
storms, wasps and birds. Young bees are
generally told off for the purpose, while
their elders go afeld. But conscience will
not allow bee to stay at home if he is
not wanted to work.
The beekoepor therefore makes it his
business to provide ready made founda-
tions for the cells, stamped in real wax,
and of the natural size. He also removes
the combs full of honey spins them around
in tin churn, and replaces them in the
an invitation to refill them The ancient
taskmaster said, aye are idle, We shall
have no straw" The modern beemaster
says, aye are Industrious, here is the
straw ready chopped" The bees seem de-
lighted to make the most of the opportu-
mites so thoroughly provided for them.
BY using the mechanically stamped "foun-
dations" for their cells they make more
perfect and symmetrical comb than is of
ten constructed without help. The bottoms
being regular, no CROOKED comb" is ever
built upon it, The size stamped is also
uniformly that of worker cells. Thus there
is no room for drone cells, producing bees
which cannot be "sweated" or made prof
liable in any way.
The visible results of the system are a
vastly increased store of honey-nearly
1000 pounds were recently made by the
bees of Is hivcs-and so far no sign of
"overstrain" among the bees. When the
system has had another years of trial, it
may possibly show certain strains develop
ing tendency to forget how to construct
comb foundation, just as some breeds of
fowls are forgetting how to hatch their
oggs.-LOndOn Spectator.

Tragic Story OF a Young bride Who Spent
One Night There.

one Night There.
For several years l was an official
guide at the capitol in Washington" said
Colonel Brent Stacy Of Springfield, o.,
land during that time l saw some queer
things about the building. But was al
ways most interested in the wandering
ghost in the crypt. Report has it that a
soldier was left in the crypt one night and
was never heard of afterward, but his spir-

there yet looking for way out.
This ghost story has Crept into print
many times, but that crypt did come very
nearly causing tragedy once. Late one
afternoon a young lady, married to a new
congressman but short time, on her first
visit to Washington, was shown through
the crypt with some friends. Somehow the
bride became separated from her friends
and couldn't find her way out The CON
gresham looked for her everywhere, and
everybody Joined in the search No trace
of her could be found, so they won't home
thinking she might have gone out ahead
of them.
But sho was not there either. Another
search was made next morning, and at
last they found her way down in one of
the darkest passages of the crypt, where
she had been all night with the rats and
bugs They picked her up, but when she
got home she was u raving maniac. The
terrors of the night had been too much for
her. The congressman took her to their
Illinois home, and l never heard of her
afterward until on recent visit to Jack
