Bees Outf1y Pigeons.

An apiculturist of Westphalia made a bet
that twelve bees, released at a distance of
three miles from the hives at the same time
as twelve pigeons, would travel over the
ground as quickly the birds. The first bee
entered the hive one-quarter of a minute
before the first pigeon reached its columbsry.
Three other bees arrived before the second
pigeon and the remainder of the competitors
reached home almost simultaneously.-Phila

Jackson Jordan, for some time the valet
Of Charles Dickens, celebrated his Seth birth
day on Jan. s. Dickens picked him up in
New Orleans, and he was in the service OF
the author when the American Notes"
were written, later accompanying him home
to England. At present he is steward of the
steamship Coptic, running between San Fran
cisco and China, and he expects to sail for
many day yet, though he can remember
when there were only two stores In San
Francisco and when gold mining had not
been begun.

MINNEAPOLIS MARKET

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi. Feb 19.-The easv
FEELING which has been brewing in the but
ter market assumed shape today Creamery
extras and frsts are 1a@%c lower There
was good inquiry at the decline. Seconds and
thirds hold at unchanged prices and are
steady. In spite Of the fact that dairy re-
ceipts are increasing, prices are well upheld
and all extras are eagerly snapped up. Firsts
are not quite as strong. Seconds are easv
and go largely into packing stock channels.
Roll and print is Ac lower. Packing stock
is very firm.
Eggs nc lower and sold largely at
14Ac on change. The jobbing demand at
the decline is good. Retailers are not how
ever, buying so freely, and receipts are be-
coming excessive.
Turkeys and chickens are nc lower. Cur
rent receipts are a tri1e heavier than the
trade can readily absorb, hence the easier
feeling. Ducks are strong and geese firm.
Veal Is moving well at 6ia@7c. Mutton and
lamb are steady, and dressed hogs In good
inquiry.
