Was Looking for u Queen.

\ son of the marquis of Salisbury is
much interested in bee farming, and
this very mild hobby resulted in the
widest kind of excitement in the neigh
borhood of Hatfield recently. 1t all
came about in this manner; Young
Cecil, finding one of his hives queen
less, sent an order to Welwyn, the
nearest town to Hatfield, for a Carni-
olan queen-a famous Italian bae-and
asked to be informed of the probable
time of its arrival. The bee dealer sent
off the bee by the next train and wired:
'The queen will arrive by 81 40 this aft
ernoon." When Lord Cecil reached the
station to take possession of his bee
he found the place thronged. The tele-
graph clerk had interpreted the tele-
gram that her majesty was paying a
sudden visit to Hatfield, and, being un-
able to keep such interesting news to
himself, the information spread like
wildfire.

Serving Men Disappearing.

Parisians are giving up keeping men
servants. For the sake of economy
male domestics are everywhere being
replaced by female. It was the clubs
that first set the example by dismissing
their men cooks and engaging women
cordons bleus. Now the tendency is
gaining ground in all directions. Peo-
pie are banishing their buffers, keeping
parlor maids where they used to keep
footmen, and paying off their Wallets.
The last straw has come to break
the camels back. The financial pro-
posals of the new government include a
tax on man servants. The cruelest cut
of all III the new law, lackeys are to be
scheduled along with carriage horses,
as if they were kind of cattle. The
domestic servants syndicate is agitat-
ing against the threatened legislation.

SPOILED THE SPEECHES.
Disastrous Effect of Foolish Questions
Upon Congressional Oratory.

Upon Congressional OratOry.
There are times when the question or
remark of a persistent interrupter will
destroy the effect of a speech and dis
courage the orator almost to the point
of breaking down, says the Troy Times.
When Bryan, of Nebraska, in the Fifty
third congress, was in the midst of a
rhetorical climax and with arms up
lifted was gushing very familiar line,
the house was convulsed by the ques-
ton of Walker, of Massachusetts:
'NNho wrote that?" The whole thing
was so ridiculous that it was five min
utes before Bryan could go on. Here is
another: Thomas Bartlett, of Vermont,
was renowned for his flights of elab-
crate rhetorical oratory, and seat in
congress was the special goal of his
ambition. When he was elected n story
of how he had been silenced by an audi
ence Of college boys got around. and on
the occasion of the new members first
appearance the house was prepared to
receive him in anything but a serious
spirit. Rising to indorse proposition
which had just been vigorously at
tackled he began to declaim impressive
": "Sir. were il not for the rules Of the
house would pour upon the opponents
Of this measure the vials Of my wrath"
He got no farther. Mr.. Polk, of Ten
nessee, was upon his feet in moment,
moving, with every appearance of eager
interest, that the rules be suspended
and the gentleman allowed to pour!"
Such a disconcerting burst of laughter
followed that the unfortunate orator
could only subside wrathfully into ST.
lence and his seat.

IN MINE EXPLOSIONS.
Many Men Lose Their Lives Through
Ignorance OF What to Do.

Scientific inquiry is being directed to
the saving of human life in mine eX-
plosions. DR.. Haldane has established
the fact that the loss of life in colliery
accidents is far greater than it need
be when those who work in the mines
and those who manage them have
clearer knowledge of the right thing
TO do in the face of the calamity. In a
recent mine explosion, where 81 men
and 30 horses were killed, the cause of
death in every case was proved to be
not the want of oxygen in the air of the
pit after the explosion, but to COM
paratively slow poisoning by carbon
monoNide. Sufficient oxygen to sup
port life was left in tie airways all
along the track of the explosion. 1t
appears that men from want Of knowl-
edge now go straight to their death
in endeayoring to escape. DR.. Haldane
is convinced that hundreds of men have
lost their lives by hurrying blindly to-
ward the shaft, or by not retiring to-
ward the face when they met the after
damp. In many parts of the mine there
will be, beyond the limits of the ex-
plosion, abundance of air to effect 6ilu-
ton of the poisonous carbon-monoxide,
on breathing which the men suddenly
lose the use of their limbs and finally
consciousness. So that a man who
waits for the rescuers, or long enough
for the after-damp to disperse, will be
able to escope either by the intake, or,
If this is blocked, by the return air.

MARBlEHEAD BOYS.
Marvellous Depravity with Which Th
Have Been CHARGED.

Marvellous Depravity with Which They
Have Been Charged.
Speaking of boys reminds me, says 4
writer in the Boston Gazette, of a story
which Polly told the other day, when
she came up from Marblehead Neck to
cheer my malarial gloom. 1t seems
Marblehead boys have the reputation cf
being the worst in the state, and a
worthy minister who went there TO fiji
vacant pulpit one Sunday had occa-
sion to verify the truth of this. for on
his way to church he was numerically
hooted and stoned. Filled with right
eous Indignation, the worthy divine re-
marked from the pulpit in mournful
tones upon the deprayity manifested
by the old towns boys. Some time later
he again visited the place, and this time
he met with no insults and did not even
see single h0odlum on his churchward
walk. Being Il just man he desired to
praise as we'll as blame, and SO he said
that he was truly rejoiced to see that
the youth had seen the error of their
ways and had turned aside from the
path of the eyildoers. ThereupOn arose
small boy in the gallery, who shriekrd
forth in gleeful malignity: Don't you
believe it. They've just gone down to
Barnegat to stone Il funeral, and when
they come back won't you catch i'll"

FORGOT HIS NECKTIE.
Embarrassing Situation of n Young Man
Out West.

Out West.
In these days of cheap neckWear a
man is poor indeed who cannot afford a
large collection of ties. There is one
young man in this city, however, says
the Denver Times, who would have
willingly paid five times the cost of a
cravat, if necessary, few days ago.
He is a genius in his way, and, like most
of his tribe, requires a guardian. 1t
was on a bright, warm morning, not
long since, that he sauntered from his
home, just about shopping time, and
in his absent-minded way wandered
downtown. As he walked along Siy-
teenth street people gazed at'him Curl
ously, and some were ill-bred enough
TO laugh. Their curiosity was lost upon
him, however, for he was far away in
reyeries of the bright, happy times
when editors accept everything that is
offered without even asking ambitious
young authors to ruthlessly cut manu-
script Ito satisfy our readers" He
wandered into q crowded drug store,
and, elbowing his way through the
throngs of well-dressed women, asked
for his favorite phosphate, and then
continued his stroll until he reached
the Office of the Times. Then some one
asked him why he did not dress before
coming on the street. He looked up in
mild amazement, sought mirror, and
then made a rush for the nearest hab-
erdashery Since then he has become
possessor of 4 complete collection of
ties, and when he sees his sister wearing
the choicest specimens, his hand IN
variably seeks his collar band to see if
he has again been neglectful.

LIS OPPOSITION 70 WAR.
China's Greatest General Is Presmiuent

ly Man of Peace.
Ex-Secretary John W. Foster con-
tributes a sketch OF The Nicerov Ii
Hung Chang" TO the Century. Mr.. Fos-
Ter says:
Although the greatest general his
country has produced in this century,
he is prominently man of peace. Con-
fucius, whose disciple he is proud to call
himself, taught the folly of war, and the
practice of the government and Chinese
society in this respect is inspired by
his teachings. While Japan has exalted
the warlike spirit, and there the soldier
is the idol of the people, in China the
soldier is lightly esteemed, and always
takes rank below the literary class. But
notwithstanding this peaceful spirit,
there is often war party in China, and
on two or three memorable occasions
il has fallen to the lot of Niceroy Ii to
be placed in antagonism to it.
The kuldja question. about 1850,
brought the country to the brink of war
with Russia, and it was only by his most
Gctive resistance to the war party at
fekIng that a peaceful settlement was
reached. 1t is now we'll known that he
opposed the late hostilities with Japan.
The government of the latter during the
progress of the war obtained possession
of and published certain memorials to
the throne, dated in 1882, and forwarded
by the viceroy, which looked to the ul-
innate invasion of Japan; but at best
1t was merely an inchoate scheme and

knowledge of the military strength Of
Japan and of the. weakness of China
than any other of the emperor's ad-
Nisers, and he feared the consequences

CITY SOLDIERS ARE BEST.
Modern Warfare Is Easiest Learned
by Them.

The old saying of the recruiting SER
geants that 'the best soldiers come
from the plow-tail" is hardly correct
when looked at in the light of modern
military experience. 1t is quite true
that in the past regiments recruited
from the country districts have again
and again made themselves conspicuous
for gallantry and endurance, but the
changed conditions Of modern warfare
appear to have enabled the town-bred
soldier to rather more than catch up
with his country-bred comrade. Sta
tistics show that he is more rapidly
promoted, that he is more fertile in re-
source, more adaptable to circun-
stances and quicker in learning the de-
tails of his business, while the improved
conditions OF town life seem to have
placed him nearly on q par with regard
to stamina. In France there are no
two opinions on the subject-the best
soldiers come from Paris; and when it
IS remembered that after the practical
destruction of the regular French army
at Metz and Sedan the victorious vet
Grams Of Germany were held at bay for
five months by the raw levies mostly
drawn from the French towns, there
seems but little doubt that the French
opinion is correct.

Eliot's Indian Bible.

Miss Frances H. Tribou, daughter Of
Chaplain Tribou, takes exception to the
oft-repeated statement that no man
now living can read Eliot's Indian
Bible. She writes ZiCn's Herald that at
the Mohonk Indian conference of 1891
she heard Bishop Whipple say that it is
a mistake TO say it cannot be read. be-
cause the Ojibways of Minnesota can
read it. AS. the bishops remarks are
published in the proceedings of the con-
ference, and as he is an authority on
such matters, Miss Tribou's exception
seems to be well taken.
