last night from his visit TO Scranton
in search of needed additions to the
band. He brought back with him F.
C. Gill, slide-trombone player. of the
Honesdale band. Three other good
musicians were ready to come, he says,
but the dread of typhoid fever, occa-
stoned by the two deaths In the regi-
ment. deferred them. There is a like
lihood. though, that they will change
their minds, he says, when the health
fulness OF the new camp is impressed
upon them. Sergeant Miles also
brought the news that ex-Sheriff Rob-
inson is coming to visit the regiment
with Bauer's band, car load of Elks
and another car loaded with provis-
ions.
Hereafter all the milk sold in the
camp must be submitted for inspec-
tion before 1t is delivered. The vend-
ers are required to report at the hos
pital of the division in which they
peddle. where an inspector will test
the milk and give them a certificate of
its quality.

WALES ABROAD.
Paris Always Welcomes Him with Open
Arms,

! The prince OF Wales is almost a bou-
| !evardier. His visits to Paris for some
years have been shorter and less fire.
| quent, says London Truth. lie is tho
| most popular prince OF his tina in
| France. They used 10 say that IL he
were pretcndor, We might expect n res
toration Of the monarchy. He must be
like the duchess al Kent, who had =
deal OF human nature OF a kindly.
| healthy sort. and was fond. almost 10
the degree of mania. OF making pres
cnts. The prince is always buying jew
clry to give away, and hardly ever
buys anything for Riaisels in Rue de
lie Paix shops. He is quite free from
self-consciousness, is naturally aifablc.
and let's nature lead him. r. has been
remarked in France that in public his
tact is never at fault. He never makes
one feel he is the prince of Wales, and
never let's one forget it. Yet he is UNI
yielding on points Of precedence. The
prince is ocardier without being jim
go. He stands by his colonies and
thinks the kingdom o. England as good
as no matter what empire. Al the cX-
hibtion ceremonies of 1878 he always
walked abreast with Marshal MacMn
hon, then head of the state How he
did exert himself To give lustnr 10 the
British section of that exhibition! The
English require of the prince a life o.
busy idleness, dinner-eating, philan-
thropy and publicity. He does what
he can to satisfy them. and always
with a good grace. One wonders how
he has kept so much freshness and
good humor. 4 less natural and ge-
NAL person must have long ago be
come morose, or an unsympathizing
stick" A society of selfish and mu-
tuaIly repulsive units needs linn to give
them cohesion. He is constantly 60
ing among them to render that service.
They are material as they can be.
What a misfortune 20 be their central
parsonage. Is 1t TO be wondered at ii
they never seek to catch his sociaole
qualities or his unaffected heartinesS?
But the CATERS, the patent-leathef
boots, the gardcnia in the button-hols
the red cravat are copied. What is as
tonishing is that the prince remains
amusablc. The child that, happily, has
survived in the man, comes out more
sreeIv in France and Germany than in
England.

tain fortune to a Filipino. In appca--
ance the giant bee il a smoky p,it-
tering, iridescent black of wasp-l!ka
inquire, with orange bands encircling it's
oooy' There have been reports that
'hls bee is most ferocious and on a.
count or its great size Is extremely
dangerous, but Prof. Frank Benton OF
the Department OF Agriculture one OF
the bee experts Of the world. has seen
ana handled them in their Jungle
haunts, and he tells a different story.
lhey are such busy and persevering
workers, according to Prof. Renton's
account, that they have less eexterity
with their singing apparatus. and
though they may light flHs of wrath
and with evil intent on human hand
or neck, they DO not handle their of
iensiVe weapon with skill. and it takes
them twenty or thirty seconds 20 get
their sting in working order. The
manufacture OF wax BY the bees is an
interesting commercial problem. Bees
secrete wax by eating honey, and as IL
takes about fifteen pounds of honey,
worth ten cents pound, to make one
pound Of wax. which will seldom
bring more than % cents a pound. bee
ralsers do not encourage the manu-
facture Of wax by their swarms. Pc
tltionS have been coming in TO the De-
partinent of Agriculture for years ask
ing that the government introduce
these giant bees into the United States.
Many years ago several individuals
tried to get the bees for themselves by
Sending 10 the United States consuis
IN the east and asking that queen bees
or the desired race be obtained and
forwarded to them. No attempt at
bringing them here has cver been sue
cessful, though Prof. Benton was pre-
vented only by illness that deprived
the bees Of the proper care. which ne
alone could give them, from bringing
TO the United States a swarm o! these
honeymakeTs which he captured in the
jungle. While Prof. Benton was sick
IN bed, en- route 10 the United States
with these bees. no one else on the
vessel would attend 10 them and they
ali died.
