HustIing California Bees.

"Talk about honey" said the man from
California, "why, you people in Louisiana
don't know what honey is. Out in my
state we go out and plug dead tree and
the honey flows like water from barrel.
All a man needs to start hive is to go out
and play the accordion and he'll have ten
swarms buzzing about him in less than O
minute.
GA funny thing happened to me last
spring when was down on my orchard
near Pasadena. l was wearing fine silk
hat at the time, and one day when the sun
was shining brightly and the birds were
singing and the air was filed with the
hum of insects l went into the field to see
about setting out lot of budded peach
trees. AS was walking among the trees
/ managed to snng my hat against tree
limb and prod u small round hole in the
crown, and fearing l would completely
ruin 1t placed it on "a tree stump and con-
tinued my Investigations with handker-
chief tied over my hair. / guess l must
have been out in the field for about three
hours, and when went to get my hat
saw bee go into the hole in the top. This
kinder surprised me, and 1 halted. Then
another bee went in, and one came out,
and while looked III be hanged If there
wasn't a continual stream of bees going in
and coming out of the hole. Well. didn't
exactly like to pick up the hat and risk be-
ing stung to death, so l concluded to get a
stick and scare them off. Nary scare,
though, for the bees kept on coming and
going in a steady stream. Finally called
one of my men and explained the situa-
ton. He went off and shortly returned
with n wad of cotton batting, which he
fastened on the end of stick. This he set
fire to and soon smoked the bees out of the
country. Then went for my hat.
"Well, sir, you may believe me or not,
as you wish, but those COMPOUNDED bees
had actually opened a hive inside of the
beaver and the thing was half filled with
honey. / knew California was strong on
bees, but that just beat my time and say
again If you want to see bees come to Cali

The Reasoning of Dogs.

When living few miles from Hull,
was one day accompanied in an expedition
to the town by my own small dog half
black poodle, half terrier, and "a neighbours
collie, who sometimes came to spend the
day with us. On our way the dogs missed
the vehicle in which / was seated, and
saw neither of them again for many hours.
AT last, when resting at a pastry cooks, L
occasionally frequented, my own little ami
NAL suddenly rushed in, greeting me rap
turously. The shop ASSISTANT said: "Oh,
ma'am, is that yoursp He has been here
before today with a large dog. They staid
about 20 minutes, then got up and went
out together" Our natural way of return
was--at some distance from the shop-past
Wilberforce's column, at the foot of which
we found our visitor dog stationed, not
recumbent, but sharply on the lookout He
must have remained there, on my accus-
toned route, ut the suggestion of Nudge,
while he ran back to look for me once
more at tho pastry cooks. Why else tenn
porary separation? Both dogs knew their
way home perfectly we'll, but they prefer
red spending very long morning search
ing for Inc. In their way of doing so
think they showed not only affection, but

D fange Differences In the Eyes and other
Parts of the Body.

Iarts OF the Body.
Some curious features are noted in the
inequality in size and influence of CORE
spending parts of the human body. The
ears on the same head are probably moro
alike than any other of the twin organs Of
the body Nevertheless they vary as re-
CARDS thickness, length, shape and posi-
tion most remarkably in different indivi-
duals II the ear, however, on one side is
delicate In size and contour, the other will
be the same, while II the one looks like
dried fig the other duplicates 1t in form
and color. But with the eye it is differ
ent. To say nothing of the fact that one
eye is generally more open than the other,
all oculists agree that the cases where tho
seeing powers of the two are equal In the
same head are very rare. Usually men
use the right eye the most. Watchmakers,
engravers, microscopists and mariners
using the telescope apply their right eye to
the instrument, and generally overwork
that organ. There is no good reason why
both eyes should not be equally strong, but
they are not. Tailors agree that the right
shoulder is almost always lower than the
left This they account for by the uni
versal habit men have of resting the left
elbow on the desk while writing, and to
the equally prevalent practice of those who
carry heavy burdens resting them on the
right shoulder.
AS regards the arms and legs, there Is
generally but slight difference. In the size
of the hands and feet there is commonly a
great variation, and, curiously enough,
while it is the right hand that is generally
bigger, it is the left foot that often re-
quires larger sized boot or shoe. Glove
makers give the proportion of large right
hands as 900 to 1000, which, by the way,
approximates to the proportion of right
handed persons in the community. The
size of the hand is generally increased by
labor. If ladies are to be trusted as to the
size of the gloves they wear, the human
hand has grown smaller within the last 30
or 30 years. But glovers tell q different
story. They confess to making all ladies'
gloves half size smaller than they really
are. This, they say, is because ladies al
most invariably ask for a size smaller
glove than they should wear
There is nearly always difference in
the size Of the hands. This is so marked
that the glove that fits the right hand Will
wrinkle on the left, looking, in fact, too
large. Tho left foot, as a rule, is the
larger. While the right hand and arm are
generally better developed and stronger,
the opposite leg corresponds in those par
ticulars. 1t lie found that in athletic, per-
sons the advantage of strength is often
with the left foot. That Is the foot we
habitually stand upon, and it is the left
foot that leads off in the walking. A man
uses the left foot most on the bicycle, and
even more SO in mounting q horse. While
the constant use of the right hand is a
matter of training (monkeys use both
equally, the more frequent use of the left
foot would seem to DO a general habit,
hence that foot is in many cases the stron-
ger.-Exchange.

JULIAN GOES ON THE STAND.
Testiies to the Alleged Plot tn Rob Fitx-
simmons-Dr. Lustlg's Statement.


San Francisco. Dec. 15.-Tom Shar-
key, looking little the worse for his
drubbing, was in court yesterday when
the controversy for the possession of
the $4,000 purse was renewed. Fitz-
simmons and Julian attempted to ex-
pose the alleged conspiracy against
Fitzsimmons, but when Julian was
asked for positive personal knowledge
he could not give it, He was not a
party to the alleged plot. Julian related
his efforts to have Lynch join him in
selecting referee, stating that Lynch
purposly placed the choice of referee in
the hands Of the National club, which
named carp. Julian said Police Com
missioner Gunst and Riley Grammar
had come to him before the fight to tell
him carp had been fixed" He quoted
Riley Grammar as having overheard a
conversation between carp and Joe
Harvey, a bookmaker, in the course Of
which Harvey said: Then it's all right
is TT" to which carp had replied: You
can depend on me-"
DR.. ID. d. Lustig's testimony was not
much relished by Sharkey. He said
he was the medical examiner of the
National club, and had examined Shar-
key before the fight. After Sharkey had
been taken to his room Lustig, with
four other doctors, hearing Sharkey
had been hurt, offered their services,
but they were refused admittance to
Sharkey's dressing room. On the fol-
lowing afternoon DR.. Lustig and five
other physicians examined Sharkey' s
injuries in the groin, and witness pro-
nounced the injury superficial. He said
1t was insignificant, not disabling or
producing much pain. The injuries to
the groin might have been caused by
artificial means, such as the injection
of calculated water.
Dan Hickey, one Of Fftzsimmons'
seconds; w. w. Naughton, sporting
reporter, and others present at the
fight all testified that they had seen no
foul blow struck by FitZsimmons.

Conservation of Water.

The conservation of water is rapidly
becoming great problem in our arid
states. The farmers want to know the
actual amount of water needed for the
various crops, so that they can avoid
waste and make present supplies ilri-
gate as much land as necessary. Here
is work for our experiment stations.
We are glad to see that the Montana
station is about to tackle this problem,
not alone on small experimental plots,
but on whole farms, quarter sections,
sections and larger. That's the way to
get at something to benefit the rancher
as we'll as the horticulturist, according
to The Orange Judd Farmer.
