Drunken Bees,

T. L. Williams, in note in the Jour-
nal of Botany, points out certain facts
about bumblebees which will be of
interest to some humans. He says that
these insects often get drunk. Their
intoxicating tipple is the honey pro-
duced by the crowded flowers Of the
capitulate heads of certain compositae
and dipsasaetae. When the stage of in.
toxication Is reached it is indicated by
rolling on the back, striking the legs
wildly in the air and general helpless
ness.
The bees rapidly recovered from the
effects, and in most cases were eager
to repeat the debauch; but one individ,

A Trumpeter's Courage.

During a French campaign in Africa

Golfers rescue of his captain.
The Arabs were pressing the cavalry
of Captain De Colt, and everything
was in confusion, when De Colts horse
was killed under him and the capture
of the officer and the whole company
seemed inevitable.
At that moment the trumpeter of the
company leaped from his horse and
gave it to De Colt, saying, ''Take him.
Your life is necessary; mine is useless.
You can rally the men. It loes lot

De Colt mounted the horse, rallied
the company and continued the fight.
Trumpeter Escoffier was taken prison
er, but the Arabs, who adore coura ge,
had witnessed the scene, and appreci-
ating the nobility Of the man, treated
him with generosity. His trumpet was
a source of great entertainment to his
captors, who used often to make him
give the signals of the various military
movements. One day Escoffier gave
the whole repertoire with great gusto,
finishing up by blowing the summons
for a charge with an extended flourish.

everybody knows they have a sure cure for

Be on Time.

Punctuality in keeping engagements

who remembers this will not despise
the comforting of small qualifications
and the delivering from small annoy

Shipping Fruit Abroad.

Secretary Filcher of the State Board
of Trade has received letters from many
handlers of California dried fruits, in
dicating decided improvement in ship
ments to Europe. Orders from Ger
many are reported to be three times as
large as last year with promise of
continuous demand. Great Britain's
purchases are also far in excess of last
year.
From San Jose comes the information
thatwhile only seventy-six carloads were
shipped to the Old World in 1896, it is
estimated that at least 800 cars of dried
fruit and from 100 to $50 cars of canned
fruit will be sent from the Santa Clara
valley to Europe this year.
AS result of the Hamburg exposition
Los Angeles claims that eight carloads
of fruit were shipped from that point
this year.

JONES' STRATEGY.
He Got His New Suit at Half Price by a
Great Scheme.

UrcaC Scnemes
Jones' new suit fits beautifully, but
he was $40 shy on the price. He needed
the suit badly, but his tailor was de
cidedly disinclined to part with it till
it was paid for. After lying awake all
night revolving in his mind various
schemes old and new to get possession
of the coveted attire Jones evolved a
brilliant idea. He put on high collar
two sizes too large for him, went to his
taller and tried on the coat again. Of
course it did not fit aronnd the collar
and would have to be let out. The next
day he put on collar half size too
small and tried it on again. The collar
of the coat bulged out i'll the back as if
it had beer constructed for the neck OF
pugilist.

Tie Between Mother and Daughter.

Tie Between Mother and Daughter.
1.-THE careful shelter Of the girls Of the
stately Colonial days in American his
tory Is as possible with US to-day as 1t
was in the olden times,"s writes Edward
w. Box, deprecating, In the LADIES
Home Journal, the too great liberty
young girls by their parents. NOT IN
the letter, perhaps, but in the spirit.
But before we can bring back those
ideal influences it Is necessary that we
should return to one or two Of the con-
ditions which existed and made those
influences possible. Our mothers should
should be more familiar with their
daughters than they are. The multi
farious outside duties into which wo-
men of this latter day have gone have
not served to strengthen the tie be-
tween mother and daughter. If any
thing, they have loosened the relation.
The Colonial mother lived in her home;
the mother Of to-day lives too much
outside of it. The daughter in the
Knickerbocker home was the first
thought of the mother; the daughter Of
to-day is all too often the last thought
of her mother. Such changes in home
affairs are not marks Of progress. In
fact, it requires reading of old books
sometimes to see how little actual
progress we have really made. More
often, the wisest progress would be for
us to go back bit, and see whence we
started. There are potent lessons for
us in the past. Our grandmothers

Stop! Women,

And consider that in addressing Mrs.

Ills to woman-a woman whose ex-
perience in treating woman's diseases
is greater than that of any living ply
stefan, male or female.
You can talk freely to a woman when
it is revolving to relate your private

communicate with Mrs. Pinkham. at

ceived, opened, read, and answered by
women only. A woman can freely
talk of her private illness to q woman.
Thus has been established the eternal
confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and
the women of America which has never
been broken. Out of the vast volume
of experience which she has to draw
from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that
will help y1ur case. She asks nothing
In return except your good will, and
her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very

and of an intensely partisan nature.
Not only will this be true of the house,
but in the senate. Senator Tillman
may take occasion to use his pitchfork
upon home material. At any rate
some bitter scenes are quite possible.
If the house, with its overwhelming
Republican majority, should sustain
the petition, and the senate with its
narrow, uncertain majority, should
take the opposite course, deadlock in
the electoral count, similar to that
which precipitated the famous elector-
al commission, would follow. It should
be remembered that South Carolina
was one of the states then in dispute,
playing q conspicuous part in that
thrilling page of political history.
Whatever the immediate result of
this attempt to discredit South Caro-
lina's vote may be, there is no doubt
that the programme, which is to be
thus dramatically insugurated, is
part of gigantic scheme on the part
of southern Republicans to overthrow
the registration and election laws in
various southern states, where the
Negro predominates, but where his
vote is not factor. This programme
was talked over at the st. Louis con-
vention, was discussed with Mark
Hanna when he was in Washington,
and has been outlined to President
elect Mckinley at Canton by the
delegation of southern Republicans
who were at that city yesterday. It
is proposed by the promoters of this
big political scheme to secure either
the Republican domination in these
southern states, or reduce the Demo-
cratic representation in congress.
