Detective Jennings, the Wells Fargo guard who killed Ed Cullen, the ban dit, at Stein's Pass last Thursday night, was living in Phoenix until within less than a year ago. He was employed on the Hotel Adams until it was completed, and after that was janitor at the free library. He is an old resident of the territory and lived in Tucson for many years. A propensity to fight without regard to consequences was characteristic which brought him to the notice of Detective Thacker of Wells Fargo, when the express com pany began taking precautions against the Black Jack gang last spring.

A HONEY BEES RESTLESS LIFE. It Begins When Three Dnys Old and

 G. W. Reynolds, of Los Angeles, Cal. one of the oldest travelling men in the United States, is T years of age. Mir. Reynolds has a ranch, of which he en- joys telling even more than he does ot the experiences through which he has passed during his half century upon the road. The ranch is near San Diego, Cal. The chief product is honey. This product is gained from two apiaries, which Mir Reynolds visits every time his business permits him 10 go to south ern California.
 In my apiarieS, which are cared for by my son." said he, @there are 10 stands of bees. The honey season lasts from April to July. This season my bees yielded 10000 pounds of honey, which sells in that couEtIy in bulk lots at four cents a pound. Two of the hives gave over 500 pounds each. For ten years have been interested in bees in small way, and 1 take greater interest in them every year. A hive or stand of bees is worth s2.50. In it are the queen, the drones and the workers, total population of from 10000 to 25,OoO bees.
 ''This very good-sized colony" he con tinued, resides in hive or wooden box. In the hive are a dozen frames B by inches. In these the bees make or deposit the honey, a 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 sea son. 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 removing the honey from the hives wears a straw hat, from the brim of which is hung a silk veil, like they have to do up in the Klondilze country to ward off the summer mosquitoes.
 '1The queen is an absolute monarch within her dominions. She is the un- disputed boss of the job. An ordinary OCN 4ANCS duA4AS tnC NCA ALLIE SCdSOA only 45 days. Young ones are being hatchsd out all the time. A bee goes to work at the tender age of three days, and hustles like veteran for 42 days. Then 1t is just naturally all tired out, l suppose. for it dies. The queen lives longer. and when young queen comes into existence in the hive she drives the old queen out. Her loyal subjects follow her in her banishment, 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-iive car loads of the article are shipped out of San Diego county in good years. ."-Denver Republican.

Posson Hunrer.

More than the hunger after bread, more than the frenzy of love or hatred, the poison-hunger overpowers every ether instinct, and even the fear of death. In Mexico, the surgeon of the Second zouaves was one night awak cred by the growing of his spaniel. and thought he saw man crawling out of his tent. The next day the captain inforped the company that some fellow had entered the hospital camp with bprglarious intent, and that he had in structed the sentries to arrest or shoot all nocturnal trespassers. About a week after the doctor was again awak- ened by his dog, and, lighting a match, he distinguished the figure of large man crawling from under his table car rying large book. He called for him to stop, cooking his pistol at the same time, but the fellow made rush for the door, and at the same moment was foored by ball that penetrated his skull. He lived long enough to confess his desperate enterprise. His regiment had been stationed at Algiers. where he learned to smoke opium, and having exhausted lis supply and his financial resources, he felt that life was no long

Many trees that formerly Aourished in the north of France are no longer found except in the extreme south, and large number of species have entirely disappeared, The lemon no longer grows in Languedoc, and an orange tree cannot be found in Roussillon. The Italian poplar, so common and picturesque in ancient Freuch etchiEgs. is to-day rarely found on French soil. These facts of nature go to prove the changes of temperature in France, the old fruit garden of Europe.

The recent night attacks on Brit- ish army posts in India have led to the suggestion that all such exposed mili- tary camps be provided with power ful electric search lights, like those used by war-ships. With bright beams playing over the surrounding coun- try, it is argued, the danger of night at tacks would be greatly diminished, and sentries and outlying pickets could be protected from the assassin, who, if is asserted, not infrequently stalk them like game and murder them in the dark ness.-Youth's Companion.
