nhE TIDE OF nUSlSEsS ptoS
PEsfFE SriIL HI>ING.

The tide of business prosperity and
good times. with increased wages and
new enterprises, asserts the Pjttsburr
Post, continues to rise in all parts of
the country. bnt especially IN the
manufacturing and mining districts.
North and South. 1t is approaching
the boom stage. The other day the
New York Times presented list OF in
creased wages granted since the latter
part OF March, bringing it down to
the 9th OF June. The Times of Tues
day last prints additions to the list.
which show that 343 companies or
firms had increased wages of about
323, 600 employees. The revised list
shows total OF 3l5. 900 employees. and
not less than 40 employing concerns.
The most gratifying thing connected
with these increases of wages, aside
from the increases themselves, lies in
the fact that all but ak OF the 43O In
oreases by that number of EMPLOYING
concerns were granted Voluntarily.
The siI which were the result of strikes
affected less than s per cent. of the
whole number of employees benefited.
That 10, of the 430, 600 workmen who
had their wages increased, in the case
of only rs. 500 were the increases the
result OF strikes. The others were en-.
iirely voluntary. This exhibition of
good feeling and desire to do justice

pioyers can but have good effect on

THE QUEEN BEE.
She Is the Foundation. the Life and Soul
OF Hive Colony.

She Is the Foundation. the Life and Soul
OF = Hive Colony.
A queen bee is essential to the colony.
She is readily picked out, but by close
observer by her great length. She lives
generally for about five years, but her
term of life varies in different individ
uals from two to five or six and in rare
instances even to seven years A queen
is fed with the daintiest and best all
through her embryo stage. and when
Matched comes out full queen. If any
other queen is hatched--and sometimes
one or two more are, pretty soon after
the rightful ruler assails the rival claim
ant in a life and death battle, the
''stinger" being piled vigorously like a
death dealing sword by both contestants,
while the hive looks on in mute interest
to see the issue of the battle. This is al
most decided in favor OF the assailant.
She is then the undisputed queen and
is SO regarded Yet the great company
of workers" are In some senses the real
governors, and the hive is great social
democracy. If by any mischance the
queen is killed, then the workers -
who are undeveloped females-go to
work to produce new one. The egg
they select for the trial is attended to
with the same care, and the embryo bee
is fed with the same selected food. as in
the case of the egg that had produced
the legitimate queen. 1t makes queen,
and she serves in that capacity.
Except in swarming time. the queen
never leaves the hive. only on the one
occasion of her bridal tour Selecting
some one for her husband, she invites
him out to 60 with her-and their con-
nubial relations are carried on entirely
while on the wing in the air--like the
chimney swallows The bridegroom
never returns. He drops dead, and the
queen returns from her one and only
aerial excursion fully formulated bee,
ready to begin her great life work OF
egg laying Some days she will lay as
many as 2. 900 eggs: In all, about 90. 600
eggs
In s'swarming" large part of the
whole crowd goes out They leave be-
hind the remains Of the old colony,
which had grown too numerous, thus
compelling the 'swarming" or seeking
new home by great part Of the hive.
The queen goes with the swarmers. and
here they follow closely II she alights
on branch or other place, they all set
tie there. olinging closely together in a
great mass, by much the same method
as a mass Of burdock burs will stick TO
gether, and the farmer wife and "all
hands used to bang away on tin pans
to govern the movements of the swarm
by fright If possible.
So close does the swarm follow the
queen that when once in flying over a
lake the queen became weary and drop
ped into the water every bee went down
with her to death By drowning. Now

STABBED A TAMMANY CHIEFTAIN.
Clerk of the Supreme Court in Dam
gerOus Condition.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-John 3. McGold-
rick clerk of the supreme court and secre-
tary of Tammany hall, is lying in danger
Gus condition at his home, the result of a
stab wound received in an election wrangle
yesterday. Although the affair is said to
have occurred at o'clock, no report was
made of it, and the first intimation Of it
was when William Dowling, a bartender, was
arraigned in jefferson Market police court
today, charged with having stabbed McGold-
rick. The patrolman who had Dowling in
charge would say little about the case and
even tried to belittle it to the magistrate,
but the latter told him to tell all the facts.
The officer said yesterday afternoon McGold-
rick came up to him on the street and asked
him to arrest Bowling, who, he said had hit
him on the head with a glass. That is
all there is to it," concluded the officer.
DR.. Schenck, police surgeon, who examined
| McGoldrick, made the following report:
"This is to certify that John B. McGoldrick
is suffering from a punctured wound which
has penetrated the right thoracic cavity and
which may have wounded the lung. His
condition is very critical and fatal complica-
tions may arise"
