From the London Telegraph.
An English apiculturist has commenced
training bees for letter carrying purposes
After few preliminary trials he says he
took hive of them to the house of friend
four miles distant. After some days, when
the bees had become familiar with their new
surroundings, some of them were liberated
in a room, where they soon settled on a
plate of honey which had been specially
prepared for them. While they were busy
eating it their trainer placed on their backs
the tiniest of dispatches, fastened with the
leave the head and wings absolutely free
They were then thrown into the air, and
soon arrived at their own home with the
letters on their backs. The writing was
Iaagnifed and quite legible. Here is an
opening for new industry. In time of war
bees would have the advantage over pigeons
of invisibility, and might go through the
enemy's lines with mpunty.

From Blackwoods Magazine.
What made you leave the army at so
early an age, and with such fair record
behind you, and SO promising a career in
front Of you?" l once asked an officer,
whose chief defect was a proneness to act
on hot-headed impulse. The purport of his
reply was: "At my last inspection 1 was
questioned by the general concerning the
prices OF the soldiers socks and shirts l
gave him to understand that l neither
knew nor cared, and of course 1 was pretty
sharply reprimanded. l became so dis
gusted with this and similar absurdities of
regimental pedantry that 1 sent in my
papers,"
Once, as president of n board to report on
an accident to horse, simply stated that
the leg was broken" and received a
rather sharp reprimand for embodying an
opinion in such trivial language. There
upon l amended the defect by suggesting
that the tibia was fractured" and was
complimented for the satisfactory lucidity
OF my report Tradition declares that in
india a similar board recorded an opinion
that the elephant is dead and smells bad ~
The general. in towering passion sent
back the proceedings for revision. where
upon the board amended its report. "'rhe

He Hid His Stocking Feet.

Paris Letter in Pittsburs Dispatch.
The presence of mind of American minis
tiers in delicate situations is shown by this
story told of Washburne when he was In
France. While present at grand banquet
in the Tuilleries. new pair of shoes trou-
bled him to such a degree that he quietly
pushed off one after the other. and was in
his stocking feet, free from pain. Sudden
ly. at the close of the banquet, the emperor
and empress rose to depart, whereupon Gus
tom required the diplomats to rise and step
b ok whist the imperial pair passed down
before them and down the banquet room
1t was not until Mr.. Washburne found him
self in line with his colleagues that he
realized that his shoes were under the
table. but without the least embarrassment
he dropped his napkin that his stocking
feet were hidden from view during this try
Ing ordeal.
