Ingenious EnrIish shopkeeper.

An English shopkeeper carefully
watches the birth announcements in
the daily papers every morning. BY
this means he is able to know the birth
day of practically every child in the
country whose parents are likely to in
dulge in expensive birthday presents.
The date OF each child's birth, together
with the address of its parents, he care
fully writes down in a huge folio, which
be calls his birthday chart. By refer
ring to this chart he knows when his
youthful clients birthday is approach
ing. and a couple of days beforehand he
sends the parents carefully selected
specimens of gifts suitable TO the child's
age. IT hardly ever happens that his
stock is returned without a selection
being made, as the mothers are so de-
lighted with his thoughtfulness that
they haven't. the heart to rebuff him.

The Big Queen Searches for n Home
in the early spring.

The BiE Queen Searches for Home
in the early spring.
In early spring. when the meadows
first take on a tinge of green, and the
apple trees put forth their rosy buds, we
may often see a single large bumblebee
flying low and swiftly back and forth
across the lawns or pastures.
These great bees are the queens who
have just awakened from their long
winters sleep, and are now seeking
some favored spot wherein to com
mence housekeeping andsfoupd a col
ony; for these insects like their cousin,
the honeybees, live in colonies consist
ingof three classes, or 'drones,"
or "males," queens" or females" and
workers" When our big queen has
at last discovered a satisfactory build
ing site, usually deserted mouse hole,
she cleans it of all rubbish and litter,
and places within a ball of pollen, in
which she lays her eggs. The young
grubs hatch out possessed with enor-
nous appetites. and. feeding on the pol
len, eat into it in all directions. At last,
when fully grown and their craving for
food is satisfied, they spin cocoons of
silk in the remains of the pollen, and
change to pupa. While her family is
thus sleeping quietly within their silken
cells. the old queen is constantly at
work, building up and strengthening
the cocoons with wax.
Finally, their sleep being over, the
pupa cases burst, and the young bees
come forth in all their glory of black
and golden livery and gauzy wings.
The first brood consists entirely OF
workers, who Immediately fan TO and
relieve their tired mother queen of all
work and duties. with the exception of
! laying eggs They fly Mther and
thither, always busy and industrious,
now plunging into the center of a gor-
geous hollyhocl or a sunny dandelion,
or buzzing about among the modest
daisies, or diving head first into some
sweet-scented, aristocratic lily or rose,
always emerging from their quest for
honey covered with the golden dust OF
pollen. The honey and the pollen thus
gathered are stored away, and the eggs
laid in the waxen cells from which the
workers issued; and the next brood
composed Of drones and young queens
feed upon this store of nectar.-St

The Unexpected Place i'm which Two

sI never realized how widespread was
the interest in the cause of the Cuban
insurgents until last week." said
New York man recently. II was under
the impression that sympathy with
them was confined TO the large cities,
where the matter has been agitated by
the newspapers and the people are in
a position to know something about the
merits of the cause. But last week
while in Binghamton, n. Y, 1 had oc-
casion TO drive out TO a small summer
settlement known as Quaker Lake. 1t
is about IS miles from Binghamton,
and the road is through a desolate and
mountainous country. One doesn't
strike many houses on the way, and to
make the trip more cheerless the road
passes through the deserted village Of
Braelxney, once prosperous settlement,
whose inhabitants worked in the tam
neries. About a mile beyond Brack-
ney came across little mite of a
house, almost hidden among the trees
and about dozen yards from the road.

ing it at all, but for a small flag pole
which stood in front of IL, from which

ground in front Of the house, and, as
he didn't look particularly formidable,
I got out of my carriage and opened
conversation with him on the plea that

the talk around to the flag, and finally
asked him who put il there.
"'Me n my woman he answered.
"'Any interest in Cuba?' ventured.

Figures Show thc Financial RainbOv
TO he Difficult of Capture.
Those who have a passion for gam
bling and have found il improbable,
class nearly as numerous as those who
gamble at all, might well consider the
recent announcement that a dividend of
$4,000, 900 for last year has been declared
by the stock company running the gam
ing tables al Monte Carlo.
Thatamount, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, is the interest on S10o,OO0,-
300, and represents an extraordinary
profit.
There are about 100000 visitors a year
at Monte Carlo, and as, in addition to
the dividend named, they pay the ex-
penses of the gambling resort, with its
thousand attaches, they will not be dis
posed to deny that gambling is high
ly expensive amusement.
Though there is tradition that
somebody occasionally breaks the bank
at Monte Carlo, its dividends are never
seriously affected.
The visitors to Monte Carlo could
make at least s5,OOO,OOO a year by not
going there

the fact that smoking is a common
habit among many public men who use
the Congressional library, Librarian
John Russell Young has decided to es-
tablish two smoking rooms in connec-
ton with the new Congressional libra

ment, for the use of senators and rep
resentatives; the other will be for the
use of the general public. Arrange
ments will be made for taking books
from the library proper TO the smok-
ing rooms. In this way those addicted
to smoking can pursue their studies and
enjoy their smoke. while at the same

WEARS A MASK.
Mysterious Man who Works I'm
Maine Ouarry

Maine quarry.
A mysterious figure. with an inde-
scribable atmosphere of horror about
it. may be seen in a quarry at North
Jay. Me, says the New York Journal.
1t is that of a workman who wears
perpetually a black mask. He does his
work almost like any other man, but
never utters a word. The men move
nscut him and speak TO him, and behave
rs if he differed in no wise from one of
them.
But the stranger who sees this silent
man with a black mask in place of a
face, feels a cold chill run down his
back. The few visitors who have seen
him will never forget their experience.
The truth is that he has no face. His
name is John Mcdonald. Ten years ago,
when he was working at his present
trade, he fell victim 10 terrible blast
ing accident.
A shower of broken stone driven by
dynamite struck him. His face was lit
orally blown off. Eyes, nose, teeth and
large portion of both jaws were carried
away.
A mask Of light black material was
made for him. 1t extends from the
top of the forehead to the throat, and is
strapped on securely in two places,
above the ears and around the throat
1t serves both to spare the feelings OF
others and to protect the scar.
The mask follows roughly the out
lines of face, leaving depressions foi
the eyes, a nose and hole for the
mouth. He is able to masticate food
SLIGHTLY with the remains Of his Jaw.

A HARMLESS NARCOTIC.

Induces Sleep without Any bad Re-
suits Following.
In the insane asylum for women at
the City of Mexico it has been observed
for some time past that most of the
cases Of death were due to congestion
of the brain, superinduced by the large
quantity of the particular narcotic adj
ministered to the patients to overcome
the insomnia which is an almost in
variable accompaniment of mental
alteration, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. DR.. Lopez Hermosa, who
has charge of this asylum, communi-
Gated his experience in this respect to
DIR. Altamirano, principal of the Ma
tional Medical institute, with the re-
quest that, as the institute made a
specially of the study of Mexican flora,
it would take up the endeavor to dis
cover a narcotic not liable 10 produce
cerebral disturbances.
DIR. Altamirano was not long in an
swering that he knew of a substance
such as we desired. which was nothing
but an extract from the seed of the
white zapote. This narcotic has been
tried at the insane asylum for women,
with the result that it has been found
TO produce a tranquil sleep and does
not lead to cerebral congestion, for since
1t has been in use no case of death from
that disease has occurred. Moreover
it has been found that this extract
mixed with the bromides best suited
to each particular case of insanity, di
minishes the violence of attacks as wei
as their duration and frequency. Thi,
discovery is considered of great i'm
portance to medical science.
