A Fox Hunt i'm q Pantry.

Mrs T. P. Glover of Hartford, Ok
ford County, witnessed fox-h hunt re-
Gently which ended in very novel
way. While standing at the rear door
of her house. she heard the baying of
hounds in the woods, but as the sound
is common one in that neighbor-
hood she thought little of it. She left
the door open, and as she walked
about the kitchen, the sounds became
more distinct and appeared to be COM
ing nearer to the house. Soon Mrs.
Glover heard noise IN the pantry,
and going there she found fox jump
ing about tipping over pans OF milk
and making a mess of everything
there. She closed the door and let
the fox thrash about as much as he
wished. Soon the hounds came along
on the trail and dashed against the
pantry door, and then the hunters ap-
peared. They were informed of the
condition of affairs and one of them
went into the pantry and dispatched

Arrested by a Dog.

Bill, a shepherd dog belonging to
Sheriff Sherry, of Muncie, Ind, exc
cuted feat recently that was wonder
full. A couple of vagrants in jail broke
away rs a crowd was being taken to
the work house. Sherry ran after one
of the men, using his revolver, but
without effect, and the man escaped.
The officer was surprised when po-
liceman marched the other one back
soon afterward. The dog had seen
his master chase one of the men, and
he took after the other, who ran in an
opposise direction. In the court house
yard the dog jumped at the mans
throat, firmly setting his teeth in the
prisoners coat and vest collar, pulling
him down and holding him. A crowd
ran to the mans rescue, thinking a
mad dog had him, but policeman

The Habits of Bees.

1t is said that under favorable cir
cumstances colony of thirty thou
sand bees may store about two pounds
of honey in a day. OF thirty thousand
bees in a hive which is moderate
sized colony, half of them stay at
home keeping house, tending the
babies, feeding the queen and guard
ing the stores. In fine, clear weather,
worker may gather three or four
grains of honey day. AS large col
onies contain as many as fifty thou
sand bees, it may be seen that possibly
twenty i've thousand individuals are
out seeking honey. The amount each
one brings in is infinitely small but
there is strength in numbers, and one
can readily imagine by watching the
little workers pouring into hive, that
even the few grains at time will fill
up the cells quite rapidly. But a
single bee would make slow work of
it, and would if continuously occupied
require some years to gather pound
of honey. New York Ledger.

THE FORMOsAN REPUBLIC.
1t Fell as Soon as the japanese Troops
Landed.

Washington City, July 1s--The state de-
partment has received from Minister Dem
by, at Picking. a dispatch dated June 13
concerning the late republic OF Formosa.
He gave translation of the official dec
laration of Independence of Formosa, and
says:
The republic will go into history as
the most short-lived government that ever
existed. The Japanese have taken Ke-
lung which Is only eighteen miles from
the capital Taipefu. and order there will
soon be restored. Ex-Gov Tang was in
augurated on the 18th of May. and he and
his cabinet have already left the island,
and il is questionable whether the people
are at all concerned at the change OF the
government OF the island. The movement
for independence was organized by the
officials. There were 5000 Chinese troops
in Formosa. They are ali armed. but will
not fight. Many of these braves are now
in Annoy fighting foreigners. The forts at
kelung were, as is usual with Chinese
forts, indefensble in the rear, but they
were very strong on the sea side, and were
provided with Armstrong. Krupp and ma
chine guns.
The Formosan declaration of independ-
ence recites that the Japanese have az
fronted China by annexing Formosa; that
the people are resolved to die before they
will serve the enemy, and have determined
in council to convert Formosa into a re-
publican state. 1t is said that frequent
conferences have been held with foreign
powers. who hold that the people of For
mosa must establish their independence
before the powers will assist them.
