SITUATION IN CUBA.

If there is any reliance to be placed
upon the alleged advance reports of the
inquiries pursued in Cuba by Mr.. Cal
houn, the agent of the United States
Government, then General Weyler is so
far from being a truth teller that he
may we'll be denominated a falsifier.
The advance reports are that SO far
from Cuba being pacified the insur-
gents are to-day more aggressive than
ever and dominate in the larger sec
tions of the island, though not in the
more populous, since the Havana prov
ince is the most densely settled.
More than that it is said that Mr..
Calhoun discovers that there is nota
BILE absence of the flower of the young
manhood of Cuba from the cities and
towns, and that this is due not to their
being on visits in Europe or the United
States, but because they are with the
insurgents. One of the chief clubs of
Havana, having a membership of sew
eral hundred, now shows up but forty
younger men are notable by their alb
sence from the city, and very few of
them, we are assured, are with the
Spanish troops.
In drive in the environs of Havana
Mr. Calhoun was struck by the evil
dences of the destruction of property,
apparently without purpose, unless
there had been pretty close approach
to Havana of enemies of the Spanish
Government. The fact is considered
very significant that no guarantee of
protection is given for more than thir
teen miles from Havana In short
from statements made to Mr.. Calhoun
by men of standing, large business in
terestS and social prominence, the war
| is no nearer an end than it was two
years ago. and these statements are
verified by those made by the country
people, the ruralists near large towns,
and by the physical evidences on every
hand.

Already city officials are talking
about buying more pumps for the water
works Keep it up, gentlemen, but
give never a thought to a clear water
supply that would insure longer leases
of life to water works pumps. 1t takes
but a short time, comparatively speak
ing, for the grit in Sacramento straight
to cut the best of pumps to the quick.
But pump buying is one of the exercises
of power, one of the prerogatives of Sac
ramento legislators that is too ardent
ly cherished to be given over easily.
Like the appetite for strong drink it
has a grip that it is exceeding difficult
to free oneself from. We have a good
deal of sympathy therefore for the
average city official when he contracts
this appetite, for it is Unsuitable and
craving, and really may be considered
a disease. The only effectual treat
ment that can be suggested for it is
clear water supply in large doses, fire.

The decision of the Supreme Court of
this State is that the tax on inherit
ahces by way of County Clerks fees is
unconstitutional. That the Supreme
Court is correct in it's view no one can
doubt who gives the matter a moments
study The Legislature should have
known how to go about to reach inher-
itances as subjects of taxation. 1t did
not take the proper method. but by
fee tax created an inequality that is
obvious, and hence in contravention of
constitutional guarantees. In addition,
there was gross error in emitting the
Act, and lastly the Legislature attempt
ed to do that which the Constitution
expressly prohibits, namely, to levy
tax for a county purpose. There was
objection also to the fee charge, be-
cause while the service of the clerk in
filing papers is the same, no matter
what the value of the estate, the charge
is necessarily greater in some cases
than in others. Some day, let us hope,
we will rustic together a Legislature
that will not stumble at every step and
blunder as not even a cross roads JUS
tice of the Peace would do.

THE BUMBLEBEE.

In early spring, when the meadows first take on tinge of green, and the apple trees put forth their rosy buds, we may often see 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 commence housekeeping and found colony; for these insects, like their cousin, the Honey-bees, live in colonies consisting of three classes, or castes-"drones," or males, "queens,' or females, and workers" When our big queen has | at last discovered satisfactory build | ing site, usually a 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
 pollen, eat into it in all directions. At
 last, when fully grown and their crav-
 ing for food is satisfied, they spin CO., coons of silk in the remains of the pol
 len, and change to pupae. While her | family is thus sleeping quietly within | their silken cells, the old queen is con-
 stantly at work, building up and
 strengthening the cocoons with wax. 1 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. l The first brood consists entirely of
 workers, who immediately fall to and relieve their tired mother-queen of all work and duties, with the exception of l laying eggs. They fly hither and thi-
 ther, always busy and industrious, now plunging into the center of a gorgeous holly hook or a sunny dandelion, or buzzing about among the modest daisi-
 es, 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 work
 CTS issued; and the next brood, com-
 posed of drones and young queens, feed upon this store of nectar.-A. H. Yer Till in St Nicholas.
