The Ministers Were Shocked.

Charles Goerner, the reputed owner
Of a "cafe" at % Third avenue, was
held for trial yesterday in the Essex
Market Court charged with keeping a
disorderly house.
His arrest was brought about by
the experience Of two ministers who
wandered into his place few nights
ago in search Of lunch. One Of the
ministers is attached to Grace Church,
and the other to st. Georges.
When they entered the place, ac-
cording to the police, pretty waitress
es swarmed around them. Suspect
ing nothing they sat down and called
for a bill Of fare.
The girls giggled and snuggled
down by their sides and pretty soon
said things that made the ministers
fee. They reported these facts to the
police Of the Fifth street station. and
Detectives Reich and Heinatz visited
7. the restaurant and obtained the eyi-
dence upon which the arrest w"s
made.-NeO York Sun.

Keeping the Log.

When the good ship Petrel was on
her last voyage, the mate was aP-
pointed to keep the log. One day,
however, he INDUCED too freely in the
forbidden cup and was unable to at
tend to his duties
The next day, quite late, after his
head was once more able to hold his
cap, he decided to write up the log.
Turning to the page of the day before,
he was surprised to find this entry:
Mate drunk all day.
Here, he said to the captain, Il
-Iw-wouldn't put that in, would
you? Itisn't necessary.
why not ?" replied the captain.
"It's true, isn't it?"
"Yes, its true, suppose.
well, then, guess it had better
stand"
So the mate resumed the log and
began writing it up for that day.
When night came, the captain, as
usual, glanced over the record. Itwas
his turn to be surprised, for standing
out in large, black letters, were the
words, Captain sober all day.
Here, Nh Mate, he called out,
"come here. What do you mean by
this, you fool? Why anybody would
think it quite unusual for me to be
sober. What do you mean, sir?
Cant help that, responded the
mate. Its true, isn't it? p
"Yes, it's true, I suppose
"Well, then, guess it had better
stand.

a Widow School Girl.

\ letter from Comorn, King George
county, Va, says; Recently a pretty
little King George girl of Is summers
and pupilin one of the public schools
of the county, went to Washington to
remain indefinitely with prominent
family Of that city Soon the lady of
the house died, and this King George
lassie assumed charge Of the bereaved
husbands housekeeping and domestic
affairs. As time healed the wounded
heart the old gentlemans affections
centerei upon the girl, and finally the
60-yeaI-old widower and the l5-year-
old girl became man and wife, The
"happy pair occupied that cosey city
home, obIIyious of the hard times
and pinching poverty which fall to
the lot of so many mortals here below,
until death again entered, this time
claiming the husband and leaving the
King Georgian a widow in her teens.
Thus alone in the world, and un-
willingly freed from the cares and re-
sponsbilities of a family, her mind
wandered back to her native heath,
and her Young heart yearned to re-
sumo her childhood JOYS and school
days in the country. Making par
tial settlement of her deceased hus-
bands estate as speedily as possible,
she returned to tins county, collected
together her school books, &c, and re-
entered school The possessor of
handsome competency in the shape of
an cnviable bank account and city
property, this little girl widow is in
daily attendance upon Public School,
No., and the pretty little lassie who
attended that school SO short a time
ago Is one aud the same individual
but now the school girl Of all school
girls the most observed Thus an
other most interesting romance has
passed to the credit of old King
George, and it may be added that but
few incidents IN recent years ever
awakened a deeper interest or elected
more general comment.

How Bees Gather Honey.

Bees gather honey by the aid of
their trunk, lower lip or tongue,
which is used ms an instrument for ex-
tracing the nectar from flowers. The
tongue of bee is not, as was once
thought to be the case. tube through
which the Juice is sucked, but is built
more after the fashion of fine broom.
With this broom the bee brushes or
laps the honey or honey material from
the flowers, leaves etc, and passes 1t
down a grove in the upper surface of
the tongue to the mouth proper.
From that point the Juice Is conveyed
through minute oriGce into the first
stomach, yulgarly called the honey
bag" The honey bag is real
chemical laboratory, where, by some
mysterious process which has not yet
been explained by science, the Juices
are converted into pure honey. When
the chemical process Of transforming
their nectar into yiscll honey has been
completed, the bee diegorges it into
one Of the cells made for the purpose
Of receptacle.
For years the microscopists and the
entomologists have been studying the
bees laboratory, but It's workings are
at present among the unexplained
mysteries.
