kt Begins Work When Three Days 0rA
 and Dies at Forty-ave.
 G. W. Reynolds of Los Angelee, one of tho oldest travelling men ill the United States, has ranch of which he enjoys telling even more than he does of the experiences through which hc 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 to go to south ern California.
 'tIn my apiaries, which are cared fer by my son, said he, "there are 40 stand of bees. The honey season lasts from April to July. Last season my bees yielded 40, GOO pounds of honey. which sells in that country in bulk lots at cents g pound. Two of the hives gave over 300 pounds each. For ten years I have been interested in bees in a small way, and take greater interest in them every year. A hive or stand oY bees is worth $2. 90. In 1t are tho queen, the drones and the workers, total population of from 20,000 to 25, 900 bees.
 fsThis very good sized colony" hs continued, "resides in hive or wooden box. In the hive arc a dozen frames IS by inches. In these the bees make or deposit the honey, foundation of wax having been first placed i'll 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 season While doing so there is little need o6 protecting the hands The bees seem to be most inclined to sting ono in the face. So, as q precaution, tho man who is removing the honey from tho hives wears a straw hat, from tho brim of which is hong q silk veil, like they have to do up in the Klondike country t1 ward off the summer mosquitoes
 ssThe queen is an absolute monarch within her dominions Sho is the un- disputed boss of the job An ordinary bee lives during the working season on- Iy 45 days. Young ones are being hatch ed out all the time A bee goes to work at tho tender age of 3 days and hustles like veteran for 42 days. Then it is just naturally all tired out, I suppose, for it dies. The queen lives longer, and when d young queen comes into exist 4nce in the hive she drives the old queen out Her loyal subjects follow ger ill her punishment, and that iswhai makes tho swarm.
 ..In southern California the bees make water white honey when tho black sags is in blossom. When the wbito sage fl towering, the honey nas an amber tinge. h winter the bees make no hop ey. Seventy five carloads of the artic{s are shipped out of San Diego county if good years ''---D Denver Republican.

Versatile pr. BedIoe.

Among the accomplishments of Dr.
 Edward Bedloe of Philadelphia, the American consul at Canton, China, is remarkable skill in mimicry. He can initiate with his voice tho accent and mannerisms of speech of all the leading actors and orators as we'll as a number of musical instruments. His limitations of tlfe twanging of a banjo are exceed ingly accurate. Some years ago Dr.
 Bedloe was i'll a room at the Press club when several guests were being enter tained i'll an adjoining apartment. He had been with the party, but had ex- cused himself on the plea that he want ed to get his banjo. He proceeded to play medley and did the imitation so we'll that the guests would not be- lieye he had not actually performed on an instrument until he repeated the imitation in their presence. He is, moreover, q witty and brilliant eonver- sationalist and q most entertaining ra- contour He has wonderful memory and has never been known to tell the same story twice. e.-Philadelphia Press

The young husband no. ticed the change, but attributed it to Fatigue from the recent travels. But his bride grew more nervous and took on { such troubled expression that he said to her

 At first she tried to persuade him Chat he was mistaken, that nothing worried her.
 ''You are wrong, Charley, dear. che would say. Really, am not wor- tying over anything. I am just as happy as can bo {"
 The day following, however, the young wife wore such a troubled look that her husband said to her:
 Lucille, you must tell mo what ia troubling you. I will not be put off any longer As your husband I have right to know
 Seeing that further concealment was impossible, she broke down and sobbed bitterly:

 In Human Affairs.
 The rowels of natures most powerful spur, hunger, are continually reckoning ehe Hanks of tho primitive community The apostles scathing arraignment of tha Cretans, "whose god is their belly, ;" would literally apply to every savage tribe and many n civilized one. Hunger is one of the mainsprings of progress. At it's im- perative command tho flint was clipped Into the arrowhead, tho dart, the spear. In it's honor tho net was woven, the hos was mado and tho soil broken. To appeasa it's cravings the wild bull is broken to tho yoke, tho forests are felled, the ditch fS dug through the marsh,
 On it's errands the ship is launched on the perilous deep and tho band sent out upon tho warpath. Into it's service have been impressed the winds of heaven, the steam wreaths of the caldron and the gilt tering shafts of the lightning. 1t Is the real Aladdin's lamp of civilization. Int ceaseless westward flow of tho human stream and the march of tho star of eln- pire,, have been at the behest of its genii. Whether it be born of q barren soil and 2 cruel sky or of the pressure of oyerpopuia tion. 1t has played lending part in mold fnp the destinies of the nations.

OFFICIAL CIRCLES AGlTATED.

Dupuy do LONE, the spanish Minister at
Washington, suspected OF Having Written
an Offensive Letter.
Associated Press Dlspat;n Nv special Wires
Washington, Feb. 0.-Tbe publica-
tion of letter bearing the signature OF
tho Spanish Minister, Dupuy de LONE,
addressed to Senior Caualeias and maxi
ing sewers structures on President Nc
Kinley has created profound impress
sion in official circles. and is expected
to bring about important results in tho
immediate future. The authenticity
of the letter cannot be established from
any official source, nor is any denial of
it given frpm any quarter. A strong
impression prevails among those most
intimately acquainted with the general
subject that the letter ia genuine in it's
substantial features. with some mac
curacias of translation, possibly through
design, by which the structures on the
President are made to appear more
offensive than a strictly literal transa
tion would show. 1t Is equally plain
that tho letter was OF personal and
confidential character, and, for that
reason. it 10 said to come under diff
erent head than a public communion
tion or one of diplomatic character.
Notwithstanding these reservations, the
fact that the letter, as whole, has
reached this public, and that, in the
main, it is as written lends to the belief
that it will receive official attention.
Little doubt exists in official quarters
that, ii the genuineness OF the letter is
fully established. it will result in
the retirement of Minister Dupuy de
LONE and his replacement by another
minister. .M
At tho Spanish Legation every avenue
of inquiry as to tine letter is closed.
The minister positively declines to be
seen concerning the subject.
Washington, Feb. 9.-The Sena to
committee on forsign relations, to-day,
decided to make an adverse report upon
| the proposition advanced yesterday by
Senator Allen, to amend the Consular
and Diplomatic Appropriation bill so
"a to recognize the belligerency OF the
Cuban insurgents. Tho action Of the
committee was the result OF motion
made 10y Senator Morgan, who said thai
appropriation bills are not proper
vehicles for legislation bearing upon
foreign questions. The vote Of the com.
mittee was unanimous.
Washington. Feb. 9.-Orders have
been sent to Capt. Sampson, in command
OF the North Atlantic squadron off Key
West, to send the torpedoboat Gushing
to Havana, with stores for the use of thu
Maine. She will leave In day or two
