THE HIGHEST WATERFALL.
The silver Thread. Leap Into the
Grand Canyon of the YeIiowstone.

yon of the Yellowstone river, is one Of
the highest, if not the highest. water
falls in this country. 1t is called the
Silver Thread, and falls, as near as can
be calculated, 1,sO0 feet. The descent
is not perpendicular. but it is so near
it that it is hard not to believe that
the water does not fall straight down,
when viewed from across the canyon.
The water comes from a mountain
stream which has no name. 1t flows in
northerly direction towards the can
yon from the foot hills of the Absaroka
range of mountains. Its entire route
is through dense forests until it reaches
the very edge of the canyon. Then it
plunges downward with a roar in keep
ing with its size, and keeps dropping
and dropping until the Yellowstone river
below is reached, l,sOO feet from the
brink.
As stated before, the descent is not
perpendicular, but it is very near it,
The walls of the canyon at that par
ticular place are very rugged, and this
little stream has worn almost a straight
channel down through the rocks. The
angle, practically turning neither to
the right nor the left. In several places
rock, not as yet worn away, breaks
the steady fall of water, forming a
slight cascade. These cascades do not
cause a real break in the descent of the
water, so practically the falls of the
Silver Thread are the highest in the
world.
The name given these falls is very
appropriate. They cannot be seen but
from the brink of the south side of
the canyon, which is almost mile wide
there. Although this waterfall is Is
feet wide from top to bottom, it does
not appear to be more than a couple of
inches wide from the point of observa-
ton. The walls of the canyon where
these falls occur are below the vivid
colorations, and are of dark brown.
The water looks like a silver thread or
ribbon stretched from the brink of the
canyon to the water below. hence the
name, Silver Thread.-Hartford tConn.)

A HONEY BEES RESTLESS LIFE.
II Begins when Three Day. Old and
Dies AT Eurty-EINe

G. W. Reynolds, of Los Angeles, Cal,
one of the oldest travelling men in the
United States, is II years of age. Mr..
Reynolds has a ranch, of which he en-
joys telling even more than he does of
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 l. gained from two apiaries,
which Mir. Reynolds visits every time
his business permits him to go to south
eru California.
In my aparies, which are cared for
10y my SON. said he, there are 14O
stands OF bees. The honey season lasts
from April To July. This season my
bees welded 10000 pounds of honey,
which sells in that country in bulk
lots at four cents pound. Two of
the hives gave over 500 pounds each.
For ten years have been Interested in
bees in a small way and | take greater
interest in them every year. y hive or
stand Of bees is worth $3.50. In it are
the que-u, the druues and the workers,
total population of from 10000 to
$4,000 bees.
This very good-sized colony" he con-
tiuued. resides in a hive or wooden
box. In the hive are a dozen frames
10 by inches. In these the bees make
or deposit the honey, foundation OF
wax having been first placed in each
frame by the betkeeper, 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. Tie 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 straw hat, from the brim of
which is hung a silk veiI, like they have
to do up in the klondilie country to
ward oil the summer mosquitoes.
The queen is an absolute monarch
within her dominions. She is the un-
disputed boss OF the job. An ordinary
bee lives during the working season
only IS days. Young ones are being
hatchod out all the time. \ bee goes
to work at the tender age of three
days, and hustles like veteran for
AZ days Then it is just naturally all
tired out, suppose, for it dies. The
queen lives longer, and when a 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

make no honey. Seventy five car loads

Blind Girl n successfuIF.rme

There lives 20 miles from Oak Hill,
Tex, a blind girl, Mary Ashby. who
has from few acres Of land cultivated
by herself, cleared about $500 each sea-
son for several years by the growing and
bale Of vegetables. She began with no

Its Glory Hns Dennrted.

In the days of its prosperity Bath,
Me, had almost five miles of busy ship
yards. The town had never done any
thing else for living than to build and
sail ships, but it prospered in that.
Thirty or more years ago its harbor was
always filled with shipping, and its
streets were busy with trade. But
there has been a steady decline since the
end of the war, and n vivid exemplifica-
tion of the decay in American shipping.
At present not one wooden vessel is
being built in the town, and there is
not vessel intended for the merchant
marine on the way. Old ship owners
are selling their vessel property as fast
as they are able to do so, and putting
their money into other things that pay
better interest, and unless some change
is quickly made in the economic con
ditions Of the country affecting ship
ping, it is evident that Bath and great
many other towns of the same character
will be compelled to go out of the bust
ness of building ships.-N. Y. Post.

1t is said that 95 out of every 100
persons who 90 to sea suffer more

though their own prey ious experience

suffer. As with some other states of

There would be little profit in review
ing the many conflicting theories as to
the nature Of seasickness, but il is of in
terest to learn that physicians who have

CONVERSATIONAL PARESiS.

"a Travesty on Justice"

Mr.. EDITOR: Why in the world
did you allow that Gaines-Yeldell
apologist to signf"Justice" to his
article in defence of the notorious
ly shabby conduct of those noto-
rious Greenwood gentlemen?" Of
course the writer knows that nei-
ther Gaines or Ysldell, of Green
wood county, have any right, legal
or moral, to hold an Edgefeld Of
fice-an Office, to hold which.
Gaines himself says "does not at
all accord with my own ideas OF
propriety." Avaunt, Mr.. "Justice,"
for your man Gaines pleads gull
ty-admitting that his sense of
decency, his sense of right, his
sense of justice, his 'ideas of pro-
priety," does not admit of his re-
siding in Greenwood county and
claiming to be the State Senator
for Edgefeld county. Justice

pleading in behalf of an alien
when that alien is alreS lady self
condemned by his ow % admis-
sions! "Justice" in this instance,
in his efforts to bolster lup these
"doldfast and Holdtight}" gentle
man, makes a vain argulment-a
mere travesty on "Justicef" as 1t
were. And "Justice's" frieEnd Yel-
dell, in running for clerk 'pf court
of Greenwood county, and trying
to get the appointment of State
Liquor Commissioner, virtually
admitted that he too, resid ent OF
Greenwood county, had no wight
to be swinging on to an Edgeheld
office. And had be been eleeted
to either of the above meLtioiaed
offices, he was seeking 80 assidzl-
ously, he would have kicked h{s

quotes, and totally regardless of

"Justice," telling how some of
those representative men" talk
in reference to some of your COR
respondents, says: "Some says:
If Yeldell and Gaines would throw
few bones to those fellows, they
would quit barking at Them"
Doubtless that is good scheme,
as that is the way rumor has it
that the Greenwood boys fondled
Brother Yeldell, by giving him
good "tlp"-and who knows but
that Brother Y, acting perhaps
from practical experience, cast a
"bone" to "Justice" as prompt
er of that article for the defence?

Washington Lafayette, and also by his

fruits Of the most abundant harvest Of
welcome which Lafayette was to receive

Lafayette was 81 years old when be
visited America as the nations guest
and carried his years lightly. His head
was shaped like that Of Burns He had
q high forehead, long, aquiline nose
and rather thin face. His hair was
sandy and quite plentiful. His eyes
were dark gray, restless and twinkling,
his eyebrows light in color, but heavily
marked. His mouth was firm, and hii
lips smiled courteously at the holiday
crowd assembled to do him honor. The
general was not very tall, but well
made. Hts face was distinctly pleasant,
and its expression was an odd mixture
Of shrewdness, decision and gay good
humor. His costume was swallow

so often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times duringl the night to
urlnate. The mild and the extraordi-
nary effect of Swamp Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most Distress
ing cases. If you need a medicine ycu
