Provide Food for Bees.

As soon as the time for occasional
warm days comes the bees will begin
flying, and to prevent them from flying
too far it is best TO provide food and
pollen for them near at hand. The best
food is sugar sirup, and this should be
carefully prepared, for it must not be
burned in making. We cannot furnish
pollen for the bees, but a good substi-
tute is rye -four, wheat shorts or oat-
meal. If they do not take kindly to this
food little extracted honey mixed with
1t will reconcile them and get them to

THIS DEVIOUS LANGUAGE.
Its Peculiar Twists as Interpreted by
Con Mental German

Its Peculiar Twists as Interpreted by
COnlNhentnl German.
An American in London had some
business to transact recently with a
German whom he had never seen. 1t
was agreed by letter, reports the New
York Sun, that the American should GO
10 the town in Germany where his cor
respondent lived, and that the Ger
man should meet him at the railroad
station. A telegram was sent by the
American notifying the Germon as to
the day and hour of his coming, and
the train, and telling the German how
to recognize the American.
The telegram was sent and received.
The German got out his German-Eng-
lish dictionary and carefully trans
lated the telegram, and then he grew
wild with despair. He rushed out
among his friends exclaiming: How
am ! to recognize a man who is tall,
end short, and fat, with money i'm his
hat?"
'Tall, and short, and fat, with money
in his hail" cried his friends. mo
one can identify such person"
So the German went from one to an
other asking the same question, until
the train was due.
"How shall l know him?" the Ger
man walled, as he made his way to the
station. Tall and short and" he
was repeating to another friend in the
station, when the friend interrupted
him. Let me see the telegram" he
said. The German produced it, and
the puzzling part read:
Look for man who is tall, little
stout. with a checked cap"
The friend translated it properly and
the German had no difficulty in picking
out the American among the incoming
passengers.

A card on the outside of office door
says: "Gone to lunch. Be back in ten
minutes" And, the man will be there
on time. That is, for some days, weeks
or even months, he will. Then he will
be at home occasionally for day.
He'll tell you he had headache-a
turn of cholera morbus, or maybe he'll
say he had lump in his stomach and
felt too miserable to move. The lump
was probably two or three ten-minute
lunches condensed.
The man who "bolts" his lunches
will find DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets

There is no case of biliousness, con-

One of the most shocking and mys-
terious cases ever chronicled in the an
mails of suicide in this city, came to
light yesterday when the authorities
were notified of the death of Mrs. Z.
+. Shaw, the aged wife of Mr.. Z. +.
Shaw, a shoemaker, living ON East
Patrick street, opposite Lipp's Bottling
Works, which is said to have occurred
between nine and ten o'clock. The de-
tails are most narrowing to narrate and
the whole affair is shrouded in the
deepest doubt and mystery.
The little nine-year-old daughter of
Mr.. Clarence Shaw happening in her
grandmother's room about ten O'Clock,
noticed her lying on the bed, and going
nearer saw blood upon the pillow.
She ran down and told her father, who
Immediately rushed upstairs and found
his mother as above described. with
her head frightfully bruised aud man
gied, as if with some heavy, blunt iu-
strument, her clothing spattered with
blood, and the last spark of life extinct.
He at once notified the authorities and
sent for DIR. f. b. Smith, who came at
once and made an examination.
The strange part of the case
is that the woman, if she com
mitted suicide, as is now the only
safe conclusion, did the deed in the up
per story or garnet of the house, where
was found every evidence to strength
Ell this fact.
In one part Of the room was found a
shoemaker's hammer with a large
round head and this was covered with
blood, whilst on the floor were pools
of blood where the unfortunate woman
had bled freely before she got down
stairs Into her bed. And here comes
the strange part of the affair, which
was the main reason for calling jury
ofinquest, which viewed the remains
about 80 O'clock a. III. How could
this woman, who was about 60 years of
age and somewhat weak and decrepit,
inflict such terrible wounds upon her
head, and then at the point of death
drag herself down the steps and get
into her own bed? None of the twelve
men on the jury coulu offer plausible
explanation and they will hear evil
dence In the case to-day friday at
10 O'Clock before acting coroner Turner
Even the physician is puzzled about
the case and does not understand this
part of il.
There is upon the head of the deceas-
ed at least twenty-five wounds any of
which seemed enough to produce
death and on the back part of the
head is round hole in the skull the
size of dollar that alone must have
been fatal.
No clue can be found to point to any
person as the murderer and no motive
can be shown why the taking of her
life would have been of benefit to
Others. Not few laugh at the theory
of suicide and it does seem impossi-
bic to believe that woman of her
age, after intiicting upon herself such
wounds, could have lhad the energy
left in her body to either fall or drag
herself downstairs aud get into her
own bed unassIsted. This is part of
the affair the jury will carefully look
into.

known as big 500 was given tram
of sixty large Baltimore and Ohio
coal scows, which weigh between 3d.
900 and 81, 600 pounds each and made
