Napoleon's symbol of the bees.

The notion has always very gener-
ally prevailed that the queen Of the
bees is an absolute ruler and issues
her royal orders to willing subjects.
Hence Napoleon sprinkled the SYM
bolic bees over the imperial mantle
that bore the arms of his dynasty,
and in the country of the pharaohs
the bee was used as the emblem of n
people sweetly submissive to, the or
ders of the king But the fact ia, a
swarm of bees is an absolute democ-
racy, and kings and despots can find
no warrant in their example. The
power and authority are entirely
vested in the great mass, the work
ers. They furnish all the brains and
foresight of the colony and admin
lister it's affairs. Their word is law,
and both king and queen must obey.
They regulate the swarming and
give the signal for the swarm to is
sue from the hive. They select and
make ready the tree in the woods
and conduct the queen to it.-John
Burroughs.

One of the most disastrous fires
this village has seen for many years
broke out about midnight Saturday
night in the brick store owned by
Don c. Pollard and occupied by
Pollard Bros. The inside OF the
store was ablaze when fire was dis
covered. In n short time, however,
there were three streams OF water on
the fire, but il was three hours before
it was under control. The books OF
the firm. and the storehouse back OF
the store, containing go barrels OF
-four. were saved, nearly everything
else being destroyed. The cold was
intense. but the men stood to their
posts and saved the surrounding
buildings. The loss on the building
and stock is about $4,000, which is
partly covered by insurance.
Pollard Bros. opened up near the
post office ON Tuesday morning.

The Classics in a Banquet Hall

At the dinner Of the Dartmouth
Alumni Association at Dclmonico'S
the other night DR.. Charles l.. Dana,
the president of the association
made a brief address i'll Latin. 1t
was reported in the newspapers the
next day that nearly all Of the alumni
present appeared to understand per-
fectlv what he said. The Boston
Herald doubts this. expressing the
suspicion "that the claim set up III
behalf of the familiarity of the Dart
mouth graduates with the Latin
tongue is exaggerated" The alum
nj of the college who were present
at the dinner when asked about the
matter declare positively that, wheth-
or he descended to playful canlnity
in his Latin. or rose to classic nc
ton. the diners appeared to follow
the remarks of the President with
perfect ease, full understanding, and
frequent apprcciativc applause. es-
pccially the passage in which the
doctor adapted to the occasion the
college motto. ''NoN cianiahTT -
