Lord. from far-severed chimes we come
10 meet at last in Thee, our home.
Ihou who hast been our guide and guard
Be still our hope, our rich reward.
Defend us. Lord. from every i'll;
strengthen our hearts TO do Thy will;
In all we plan and all we do
Still keep US to Thy service true.
On, let US hear the inspiring word
Which they of cid at Horeb heard
Breathe to our hearts the high command:
10 onward and possess the land"
Thou who art light. shine on each soul,
Ihou who art truth, each mind control,
open our eyes and make us see
The path which leads to heaven and Thee

FavOrs Pooling.

Trunk line officials are somewhat sur
prised over the publishing of pamphlet
on railroad pooling, written by Martin
Knapp. of the Interstate-commerce Com
mission, in which he strongly advocates
railways pooling their business. Mr.
Knapp holds that competition cannot exist
without discrimination and all its attend
ant evils. Mr.. Knapp says: "As / look at
the matter. the State has as much right to
farm out the business of collecting it's rev.
enues and allow the persons performing
that service to varv the rate of taxation
according to their own interest as it has
TO permit the price of public carriage to
be the subject of special contract or secret
dicker-to be made unequal by favoritism
or oppressive by extortion." State owner
ship and universal consolidation are alike
out of the question. and the only remedy
is the polling of rival interests under proper
regulations

Pythians May BE Ignored.

The Western roads and the knights of
Pythias are at loggerheads over the rates
for the national convlave of the knights.
1t was the original plan of the knights to
have the conclave at Minneapolis, but when
the roads granted a one-fare rate for the
G. A. r. annual encampment. the knights,
who had not received a rate as low as that,
made complaint, and asked for the same
tariff as had been granted for the encamp-
ment. The roads said they had allowed the
knights longer limits on their tickets than
had been granted to the G.. A. r.. and they
thought the knights should rest content
with that. The knights were not content
however. and decided TO hold their conclave
i'm Cleveland. Then they asked the roads
for reduced rates to that city. and the roads
refused 70 grant them Now they have
submitted proposition to the roads pro-
vidng for a one-fare rate, with rather mar
row limitations to the final return limit
and the roads are considering the PROPOSE
ton. with every chance that they will final
ly decide against il. There is strong feel
ing among many of the roads against
granting the knights any reduced rates at
all. and it is not at all unlikely that the
knights will be ignored entirely.

Bees-Statistics of Their Work.

The following calculations have
been made in regard to the work done
by the honey bee: When the weather
is fine, a worker can visit from 40 to
80 flowers in six or ten trips and col
lect a grain of nectar. If it visits 200
or 400 flowers, it will gather 5 grains,
Under favorable circumstances, it will
take fortnight to obtain Is grains.
1t would, therefore, take it several
years to manufacture a pound of honey,
which will fill about 5000 cells. A hive
contains from 10000 to $4,000 bees, half
of which prepare the honey, the other
half attending to the wants of the hive
and the family. On fine day, 10000
to 20, 900 individuals, will, in six or ten
trips, be able to explore from 10000 to
1000, 900 flowers, say several hundred
thousand plants. Again, the locality
must be favorable for the preparation
of the honey, and the plants that pro-
duce the most nectar must flourish
near the hive. A hive inhabited by
$4,000 bees may, therefore, under ia
vorable conditions, receive about two
pounds of honey day.
