WONDERFUL INDEED.
The Queen Bee Is the Most Marvellous
of All Insects.

The Queen Bee Is the Most Marvellous
of All Insects.
The study of bee life is always an in
teresting matter to the beginner and of
oil bees the queen is the most wonder
full product in insect life. In the first
place she is the product of the bees
themselves. A common worker egg Is
taken and fed certain kind of food and
fully developed female is produced
from nm egg that in the natural course
would have been imperfect.
As soon as she has become fully
grown tho queen bee sets out to find
mate, md after her return from this
wedding trip never leaves her home
again unless it is to seek another and
more commodious one, for it is always
the old queen that leaves with the
swarm instead of a younger one.
The queen bee lives four or five years
and is capable of laying from 1900 to
1000 eggs day during all this time. AS
the ordinary worker lives less than six
weeks in the working season ard only
six or seven months under the most
favorable circumstances, the queen sees
many generations of her children come
and go. No queen ever had more loyal
subjects than those of the queen bee,
and they will die in defense of her and
their home at any time. If strange
queen is introduced into u colony, the
members of it pounce upon her at once
unless their old queen is removed, in
which case the stranger is usually given
q warm welcome.
If q surplus of queens is Matched In
hive, the extra ones are killed at once,
and after the old queen becomes use
less for the purpose of laying more
eggs to keep up the strength of COL
oDy, her children kill her and cast her
out and raise up new one to succeed

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

The wine-bearing palm of western
Africa Yields sap which is sweet when
first drawn, ferments in few hours,
and is a quick intoXicant.
-Firelightcrs arc made in Germany
by twisting wood wool into a rope, cut
ting it into short lengths, and dipping
the end of the pieces into melted resin.
The hairspring of watch is a
strip of the finest steel, about 9h inches
long, 1-1OOth inch wide and 27-10,000ths
inch thick. 1t is coiled up in spiral form
and finely tempered.
Before the introduction of firearms,
the wood of the yew was in so great n
demand for bows that n law was enacted
in Venice that every ship trading in the
port should bring ten bow slaves with
every butt of Malmsey wine.
"A recipe for preserving wire ropes
that are to be carried under water or
under the earth's surface consists of
a mixture of IS parts Of Stacked lime
and from so to 60 parts of tar. The
compound is boiled and applied hot.
The thickcst known coal seam in the
world is the Wyoming, near Twin Creek,
in the Green river coal basin, Wyoming.
It is so feet thick, with only one thin
parting of shale near the roof, and up
wards of 800 feet of solid coal underlie
the property of 1000 acres.
The tunnels of the world are esti-
mated to number about 1,142, with a
total length of 514 miles. There are
about 1000 railroad tunnels, ~ SUBJ
aqueous tunnels, 90 canal tunnels and
40 conduit tunnels, with aggregate
lengths of about $50 miles, 0 miles,
70 miles and IS miles respectively.
Tar may be instantaneously re-
moved from hands and fingers by rub
bing with the outside of fresh orange
or lemon peel, and wiping dry imme-
diatcly after. 1t is surprising what a
large surface of skin small piece will
clean. The volatile oils in the skins dis
solve the tar, and soft may be wiped off.
The citizens of Dion, France, re-
Gently voted tax for putting railing
around a tree which stands within the
city limits. The tree bears label which
informs the sightseer that it is the
oldest poplar in France. The town
council has record tracing history OF
the tree since the year 722 A. D. 1t is
1872 feet in height and As feet in circum-
ference at the base.

One OF the best ways Of unitiry col
onies is to set one hive over the other
and let the bees mix at will.
1t is best to contract the entrances to
the hives in early spring until the
weather becomes warm and settled.
After the honey season fairly opens,
the bees will get water enough from
the thin nectar gathered from the flow
ers.
In case the queen is dead take franc
of brood from another hive and the
bees will soon rear queen for them
selves.
In all feeding care must be taken not
to spill the feed about the hives. 1t
may, and generally will, induce rob-
bling.
To introduce a strange queen into
n hive put her into queen cage, cover
her with sugar paste and lay Oh top of
the frames.
Cutting off edges of the comb or cut
ting holes in the same where there are
eggs or larvae just Matched will almost
always insure the starting of queen
cells.
Better queens can be secured If we
wait for the queen cells to be started
naturally by the bees under the swarm
ing impulse. by early feeding and add
ing brood this period can be fastened.

woRsAIPED A FALSE GOD.

Debating Society Enshrincs Web
stcr's Image Instead of Clny's.
The members of the Henry Clay De-
batting society of Oakland, an organiza-
ton of enthusiastic young students OF
history, oratory and debate, have made
+. discovery which has shocked them.
For year they have been admirlng a
picture of Daniel Webster, thinking it
was likeness of the immortal man
for whom they named the club. 1t
hung upon the wall in the main room
of the suite occupied by the club ana
in the year waVscen and admired by
hundreds. 1t was steel engraving
incased in large oaken frame, and
made very attractive picture. Some
of those who looked upon it may have
recognized In it the likeness of Clay's
rival, but no one ever mentioned the
fact. and In the list of art works be-
longing to the club it was set down as
q picture of Clay. During the debates
which have aroused the echoes of the
club rooms in the last year the PIC
turre was pointed to with pride every
time one of the young orators referred
to Clay in any way.
Two weeks ago some one broke the
horrible news to the members OF the
board of directors. There was spe-
cial meeting, and it was decided at
once to take the picture down. There
was an effort to fix the blame for the
error, and some Of the members Of the
committee who had purchased the pic
ture were called before the directors.
It was agreed, however, that the wisest
plan would be to let the matter drop.
All those who were in the secret were

PoTTED VEAL AND TONGUE.

How to Convert Left Over Meats Into
Fresh Dish.
Cold veal left from roast or potpie
may be minced, pounded to paste and
mixed with equal parts of cold boiled
and smoked tongue or ham for potted
meat. The root and tough parts of
boiled tongue left after slicng the rest
for tea may be used up in this way. To
a pint measure eaesl Of tongue and of
lean veal, both chopped and pounded to
paste, take two tablespoonfuls of but
ter, one teaspoonful of salt, little pep
per and pinch of mace. Mix table
spoonful of butter with the tongue and
add n pinch of cayenne to it. Add the
other ingredients to the paste of veal,
mixing them in thoroughly. Put first
layer of seasoned veal in q jar of earth
enware, then layer of tongue, until the
jar is full. Pack the meat as tightly as
possible in the jar, leaving no air spaces.
Set the jar of meat in the oven in pan
of cold water, and letit bake in this way
for holf an hour. Pour little melted
butter over 1t, and let 1t become cold,
then set it away. Cut it into thin slices
for tea, using a very sharp knife and
having the roll Of potted meat very cold
in order to make it firm enough to slice.
The Jar in which the meat is potted
should be buttered before the meat is
put in it. The jar must be set in hot
water moment to slip out the roll of
meat, which must then be chilled again
to make It firm for slicing.-N. Y. Trib-
une.

Figures Show That the United Slater
Arc at the Head.
There are actually more employees
of manufactures, male, female and
child labor included, in Germany. Great
Britain and France than there are in
the United States, though the popula-
ton of the United States is 22,C0o,O00
greater than the population OF Ger
many, and 100000 greater than the
population of Great Britain or the pop
ulation of France. There were re-
turned by the last national census 81
091,0OO persons as in manufacturing
and mechanical industries" in the
United States, but included in this num-
Der were 10000 seamstresses, $4,000
tailors, 10000 milliners, 2Ss,000 dress
makers and 10000 butchers, and with
these and sundry other similar deduc-
tons from the number of those en-
gagged in manufacturing and mechan.
ical industries it is found by the last
report of the commissioner OF labor
that the actual number of persons en-
gagged in manufactures in this country
is 3,S37,OOO. But though the number OF
employees is less than in other manufac-
turing countries, the United States
stands at the head of them all in their
products of manufactures, the product
by hand, the volume Of steam power
used and the annual wages paid.
These figures show the total product
of American manufactures to be In en-
cess of $1,000, OOo,0 q year, whereas the
total value of the combined manufac-
lures of Great Britain in q year amount
to only S4,1OO,OO0,000. Germany follows
with 81, 015, 100000. France comes third
with S2,245,0oO 900, Russia fourth with

follows: Austria-Hungary, S1,2e5,ooo,-
900, Italy $eo5,OoO,ooO, Belgium $780,
100000, Spain $425, 100000 and Switzer-
land S16o,OoO,0Oo. In respect to the
product of manufactures by hand the
United States is far in excess OF all
other countries. The average here is
$1,sss, in Great Britain $3.50, in France,
in Belgium and Germany the same,
$545; in Switzerland $493, in Russia

the amount Of steam power used, the
United States stands at the head all
manufacturing countries, with q total
Of $4,000, oOo-horse power. Great Brit

Must Serve Ten Years "on the Force
to Inherit Il Fortune.

Must serve zen cars ''Oh INC roASS
to Inherit Il Fortune.
The strangcst of oil the many re-
quests that have been made of Mr.. Ham
ma since he took up his leadership in
politics came to him when Baron Won
Mucgge, young German, solicited his
influence to obtain an appointment as
deputy United States marshal, at any
place where the surroundings are
agreeable, at any salary, or any amount
of fees that might be offered.
The applicant, who is we'll vouched
for and is undoubtedly all that he pre-
tends to be, told strange story of the
will of his mother, n wealthy, but &C.
centric, German, who stipulated that
he should serve ten years as policeman
before he should come into his fortune,
her idea being to teach him sclf-con-
troll, develop bis character and convince
him of the dignity of labor.
As he did not wish to serve in such
M humble capacity among his former
and future associates, Won Muegge
came to the United States to serve his
time. He has been on the force in sew
eral cities, and is now employed as n
Waterman by q railroad company in
Cleveland.
The man is personally known to Mr..
Hanna through rather curious episode
that occurred while he was member
of the Cleveland city police. A few
nights after the election some of Mr..
IIanna's friends and admirers rendered
him o banquet at the Union club in
that city, and during the dinner two OF
the walters got into trouble, III which
one of them bit off portion of the ear
OF the other.
The fight was so fierce that police
man was sent for to take charge of the
combatants, and that duty happened to
be assigned TO Won Muegge. Mr.. Han
ma recollects seeing him at the Union
club on that occasion.
His term of servitude expires in No
ve1nber next, and the baron is anxious
to spend the remainder of the period
in surroundings which will be moro
agreeable than those in which he has
been situated for the last nine years.
He would like to be deputy 10 the
United States marshal of the District of
Columbia for the next six months, and
has asked Mr.. Hanna's influence to Sc
cure that position.-Chicago Record.

Ordinary prudence, therefore, to say
nothing of higher motives, should
prompt n president to pay more at

sonal clamor.
Public sentiment makes allowance
for errors of Judgment, and the Difficult

not expect ideal selections everywhere;
hut it will judge an administration by
the general character of its appoint

that the standard of the public service
