CLAY IN WASHINGTON.
CRosBYS DRul

Jack Cohen writes to the Atlans
ia Journal:
Senator Elect Clay was a con-
spicuous figure on the floor OF the
Senate this morning. Under the
chaperonage of Senator Bacon, he
was init oduced to all his soon to-be
Democratic colleagues, and met
many of the Republicans.
The new Senator took Ger.
GOrdon's seat and was an inter-
esting listener to the exciting
Cuban debate. He will remain in
Washington until the close of the
extra session of the senate, and
perhaps of Congress.
The reception Of Senator Clay by
the Georgians here was cordial in
the extreme, and must have been
very gratifying to him.

Dog HerOisnl.

One afternoon fire occurred in a
tenement house. In half an hour the
fremen had the flames quenched. AS
the men burst into one of the smoky
rooms after putting out the fire they
found a poodle dog carrying some
thing in his mouth from the hotter
rooms to the front. One of the men
caught him and took from his mouth
live kitten. A basket containing
seven small kittens had been left in
the kitchen, nearer the burning stair
ways than the other rooms, and the
poodle, with more than usual dog
So had carried every kitten to the
{. rooms.
As an illustration of the extraordi-
nary fidelity Of dogs to men this story
is told: Muhy, a poodle, started on a
jour- ey with his master, French
merchant. Before beginning their
journey Muhy noticed that his master
received large sum of money in gold
and that he counted it carefully and
placed it in a bag, attached to the back
part Of his saddle. On the way, Othe
weather being sultry, and the distance
long, the master stopped in a shady
place to rest. He placed the bag Of
gold near him in the bushes. After
satisfying himself with a sandwich he
fell asleep. In an hour or so he re-
sumcd his journey, forgetting all about
his gold. Not so with the dog. lie
tried his best to seize and carry the
bag. but it was too heavy. Dropping
it, he ran to his master and tried every
way to make him understand his loss.
He pulled his coat, he ran ahead,
swapping at the horses nose, trying to
stop him. His behavior was such
that his master became convinced that
he was mad. So thinking, he drew
his pistol and shot him. In a little
while he remembered his gold, and
then the whole meaning of the poodle's S
madness flashed upon him. Hasten
ing back, he found trail of blood
from the place where he shot the dog
to the place where he rested, and there
he found the faithful animal guarding
with dying breath his master s gold.

Honey Bees Restless Life.

G. W. Reynolds. of Los Angeles,
CAL, one OF the Oldest travelling mea
in the United States, is II years Of
age. Mr.. Reynolds has ranch, of
which he enjoys telling even more
than he does of the experiences through
which he has passed during his half
century upon the road. The ranch is
near San Diego, Cal. The chief pro-
duct is honey This product is gained
from two apiaries, which Mr.. Reynolds
visits every time his business permits
him to 60 to Southern California.
In my apiarics, which are cared
for by my son. said he, "thcre arc
140 stand of bees The honey season
lasts from April to July. This season
my bees yielded 10000 pounds Of
honey, which sells in that county in
bulk lots at 4 cents pound. Two Of
the hives gave over 500 pounds each.
For ten years I have been interested
in bees in small way, and I take
greater interest in them every year.
A hive or stand of bees is worth $3.50.
In it are the queen, the drones, and
the workers, a total population Of from
10000 to $4,000 bees.
"This very good-sized colony" he
continued, resides in hive or wood
en- box. In the hive are dozen
frames 1877 inches. In these the
bees make or deposit the honey,
foundation of wax having been first
placed in each frame by the beekeeper,
so that the bees may have something
to build upon The honey is taken
out of the frames every other week
during the honey season. While doing
so there is little need of protecting
the hands. The bees seem to be most
inclined to sting one in the face. So,
as precaution, the man who is re-
moving the honey from the hives
wears a straw hat, from the brim Of
which is hung silk veil, like they
have to do up in the Klondike county
to ward off the summer mosquitoes.
''Thc queen is an absolute monarch

season only forty-Gve days. Young
ones arc being hatchcd out all the
time. \ bee goes to work at the ten
der age Of three days, and hustlcs like
a veteran for forty-two days. Then
it is just naturally tired out, sup
pose, for it dies. The queen lives
longer, and when young queen comes
into existence in the hive she drives
the old queen out. Her lo7al sub
jects follow her in her banlshment,
and that is what makes the swarm,
"In Southern California the bees
make water-white honey when the
black sage is in blossom. When the
white sage is towering the honey has
an amber tinge. In winter the bees
make no honey. Seventy-fve carloads
OF the article are shipped out of San
Diego County in good years. ."-Dcn-
