Honesty In War.

Tho French marshal, Turcnne, was a
great general, and his character bears
examination for nobility. He was a
great man. Many incidents which are
related of him show his modesty, gener-
osity and honesty as well as his courage
and military ability. A little story of
one of his German campaigns illustrates
his rare scrupulousness even in time Of
war.
The authorities Of Frankfort believed,
from the movements of his army, that
he intended passing through their terri
tory. They sent deputation to him
which offered him q large sum of money
if he would alter the direction of his
march and leave Frankfort unmolested.
They We're surprised in more ways
than one by his answer. "Gentlemen, :"
he said, my conscience will not per-
NIT me to accept your money for have
never intended to lead my army through
your town. '-Youth's Companion.

ONLY A BUNCH OF WOLETS.


pie and Moisture to Many Eyes.
Seated in the corner of Broadway
car was frail, little crippled boy, evil
IDENTIFY an intense sufferer from spinal
disease. His head and the upper part of
his body were inclosed in network of
steel and leather, and an iron brace was
tightly strapped to the side of one of his
legs. Poverty, too, seemed to be his mis-
fortune. His clothing was of cheap ma
terial and bore the stamp of homemade,
and i'll every finger of the black cotton
gloves worn by his l5-year old sister,
who accompanied him, there was hole
Her dress was patched in several places,
and her hat was q thin straw affair,
trimmed with band of faded red rib
bon, but withal she was wondrous neat
and clean.
At Thirty-third street handsomely
dressed young woman boarded the car
and dropped into Il seat directly opposite
the pair. Tucked i'll the folds of her coat
was a big bunch Of fresh, double violets,
tied with long purple ribbon, and their
fragrant odCr at once pervaded the car.
The little boy caught the scent, and at
once his great brown eyes were thrown
upon the flowers Then he whispered
something to his sister, who blushed and
told him to wait awhile Turning his
attention again to the violets, the lad
gazed upon them until his eyes grew
bright and round, and every few mo-
ments he would draw an extra long
breath, as if to take in all of the sweet
perfume he could. Soon every one in
the forward part of the Car was watch
ing him. From the look of admiration
there grew III those brown eyes an ex-
preston of longing so earnest and deep
that it made the heart thrill with sym
pathy.
The young woman, with changing
emotions, glanced uneasily at the boy at
intervals, and soon the power of those
eyes and the soul they revealed over
came her. With a quick tug she drew
the violets from her coat, and with
tear springing to her eye handed them
to the boy, purple ribbon and all Be-
fore the child recovered from his great
joy she sought the platform and was
gone.
Nearly all the men sitting near by
suddenly resumed interest in their news
papers, and some of them coughed. The
women looked straight ahead through
the glass, beyond the sidewalk and
much farther than the obstructing show
windows and doorways. 1t was not an
earthly view that pictured itself to
them; their vision was turned toward
their hearts, into the tiny corner where
fondest of all hopes and sweetest of sad
memories were treasured
The boy? Well, do l need to tell you
of his happiness? And sister? Poor sis
ter. She felt so ashamed But what
could she do?-New York Herald.

To prevent the deterioration which
takes place i'll coal when stacked in an
ordinary manner it has been proposed in
the case Of large quantity having to be
stacked for a considerable period to try
the effect Of submerging it in a suf1i-
cient depth of water to give the neces-
sary pressure for combining thegas within
the pores. And it is further suggested
that to prevent loss of gas in transit coal
might be conveyed, while remaining
submerged, by the numerous canals and
navigable rivers which are now being
rehabilitated in the various countries Of
Europe. .-EXchange.

BEES AND BEEHlVES.
Old Fashioned Hives Scarce-Oueen Bees
Travelling by Mail.

The beehive everywhere represented
as the emblem of industry, as for in
stance i'll pictures Oh the covers of saw
ings bank books, is the old fashioned
round, sugarloaf structure made of twist
ed straw, but as a matter of fact there
are very few such hives now in use eX-
cept i'll Germany and Austria, and even
there the modern hive is taking their
places. The modern hive is made Of
boards and is square, with some modifi-
cations i'll shape and style. 1t is not
nearly so picturesque as the old fash
ioned hive.
A gentleman farmer in New Jersey,
desiring to get two Of the old fashioned
hives to set up on his place, commits
stoned Il New York dealer in beekocpers'
supplies to buy them. The dealer COM
municated with many bee farmers in his
search and finally found one hive on
Long Island The gentleman had mean
while found one himself, so that he had
his desire.
Dealers in beel1eepers' supplies sell
everything required, including bees in
the season. One can buy colony of bees
or any number of bees, just as he can
buy dry goods or shoes. Queen bees are
sent from here all over the country.
They are shipped by mail in little boxes
called queens cages There is in each
cage space for the queen bee and for q
number of worker lees. In one end Of
the cage is placed sufficient store Of
candy for food to last the bees on their
journey. Queen bees are frequently sent
from here to Australia in this manner,
and so per cent of them reach their des-
tination alive after journey of 45 days.

PAPA WAS TOO LATE.
How q Manufacturers Daughter Did Not
Become My Lady.


Become My Lady.
Some years ago was acting as curate
i'll large London parish. Two young
people in whom was greatly interested
were to be married ON u certain Wednes-
day i'll April Contrary to custom, the
bride arrived before the bridegroom
indeed the bridegroom never arrived at
all
1t subsequently transpired that the
bridegroom had disappeared the previous
evening and was nowhere to be found.
He has not been found to this day. No
cause for his disappearance was ever as
signed, nor has any clew to his where
abouts ever been discovered. The poor
young bride succumbed to the shock,
and it was my melancholy duty to Off
ciate at her burial some weeks later.
One more case, and have done. A
curate, in receipt of little moro than
G100 q year, proposed to the daughter of
wealthy north country manufacturer
and was accepted. Paterfamilias was ex-
tremely angry at this and forbade the
young fellow his house. Candor compels
me 10 state tlllI tno daughter OHeTeu
very little resistance to her fathers OBJ
jections, and the curate, who was genu-
inely fond of the girl, removed to a dis
tant parish
Two months after this event he fell
into a baronetcy and rather more than
$4,000 year. The manufacturer saw
that he had made Il mistake and opened
up negotiations in a letter. By return
he received a telegram with the laconic
information, "Too late" We may be
certain that the good manufacturer s
wife gave him large "piece Of her
mind" as the saying goes. London

Forest Counly's New Jail.

1t has at last been decided that, while
the old Jail building IS plenty large
enough to hold all the prisoners we ever
have in Forest county, it is not suf-
ficiently up-to-d date to keep pace with our
other county and borough institutions,
and the commissioners have let con-
tract to the Van Dorm Iron Works COM
pany of Cleveland, ohio, and as soon as
the weather will permit the excavating
will commence Tor the erection OF bang
up new Jail and sherill's residence that
is to cost Sl4, 500.
The building is to occupy ground
space of 46x57 feet, the Jail part to be two
stories high and the residence part three
stories, and will be built of brick, stone
and iron.
The ground floor Of the Jail will be
composed of six cells. or iron cages,
ska feet in size, with a corridor between,
ard each cell is TO he provided with a
water closet and wash stand. The Sec
ond story will be composed OF six rooms
suitable for women and children prison.
ers, and will be furnished with the latest
improved Jail furniture"
The entire building will be heated with
improved heating apparatus that is guar
anteed to keep every room in the build
ing heated at temperature of 20 during
the coldest weather. The contract calls
for the completion of the building by the
goth of August and when completed and
the old one removed, the county will
have buildings and grounds to be proud
of.
With the erection of this, and other
projected buildings, there ought to be
plenty of work for our mechanics during
the coming summer.
