SENATOR HILLS LECTURE FAIL
URE.

Senator Hill has abandoned his lecture
tour in the Northwest and has returned
to New York with his essay on Liberty"
In his grip The reason his manager as
signs for the senator throwing up his en-.
gagement is that he has a bad cold The
real reason is that he did not have ap-
preclative or paying audiences The peo-
pie took no more interest In him than in
Coin Fool 10 to l Harvey and both left
the Northwest in disgust.
Men will go to hear a good lecture, no
matter who delivers 1t. They will often
go to hear a poor one II the lecturer Is q
celebrity whom they are curious to see or
a public man for whom they have lik-
ing. 1t is evident, then, that Senator
Hlll's lecture was not interesting, and
that neither the Republicans nor Demo-
Gratis of Wisconsin or Minnesota are at
tracted by his personality. Probably
they all look upon him as a played-out
boss and take no further interest in him
whatever.
Senator Hill has made mistake about
himself. He fancled he was so great q
man that people would pay dollar or q
half a dollar to hear anything he might
say-called lecture-just as they would
go to see Colonel Ingersoll. Consequently
he got up a tiresome essay and went
forth to make money, and incidentally to
do little canvassing as presidential
candidate.
What he should have done was to take
a subject he knew something about ana
which the people cared for. II he had
spoken ON machine politics from the in
side OF 1t he would have had hearers He
understands that subject and could have
Illustrated his talk with his own expert
ences. He could have told how to steal
legislature and q United States senator
ana explained Just how It was done In
New York In 1892.
People go TO hear the reformed gambler
ana the reformed inebrlate when they re-
late their misdeeds and their experiences,
They would pay to hear Senator Hin If
instead of talking about liberty" he
would tell what he knows about ,prac-
tical politics."

THE BEES WORKSHOP.

Properly considered a beehive is a
wonderful shop, and each individual in
sect is a curiosity. The inhabitants of a
hive are classed as drones, workers and
queens The queen is the mother OF
every insect in the hive, unless she has
been installed instead of queen who has
died and left the hive without a mistress.
This queen bee is the wonder of the
whole insect tribe, as far as egg-laying is
concerned, often depositing 1900 eggs a
day for days in succession during the
most productive season The chief Won
der connected with the worker bee Is the
admirable manner in which his body is
shaped and fitted with instruments for
honey gathering. These natural instru-
ments consist Of cups, combs, brushes
knives, tunnels, scrapers, etc, each Of
which is worthy of a week of careful
study under a high-grade microscope.
