What Our Simplicity Stands For.

Not long ago I read in French
newspaper that Emperor William,
while studying in detail the conduct
of the Spanish-American war, had
been particularly impressed by the ex-
cellence of the citizen soidiery of the
United States and by the efficient aid
which they rendered the regular troops.
This, however, was no surprise to me,
for I have long been of the opinion
that, even in the art of war, the thou
sand and one complications with which
the old world is saddled are in no wise
indispensable, and that, although it
may not be possible to improvise sol
diers, there should be little difficulty
in making good soldiers out of free cit
izens. In short, we see that through
Europe, through all phases of national
existence, has remained complicated,
America has retained its original SIM
plicity, which, indeed, is the chief char
acteristic OF transatlantic civilization,
and gives it just that Elasticity, that
possibility of progress, that rapidity
of realiza ton, which make it Il civil
ization superior in many points to ours.

SUMNER LOVE.

Love that loves for summer day,
When the world is young and the sky is
blue,
When winter comes, and the world is gray.
Summer~lover, what will you do?
Love that loves for the lovings sake
A face that is fair with the bloom of
youth, .
Meath :Beautys guise. there's a heart to
break,
trusting heart full of love and truth.
Summer-lover, the winters wait,
And faces as the years grow old,
Is yours love that can challenge fate,
A lifelong love that will ne'er grow cold?
Love, the love that will last life,
That will weather trouble, sorrow, or
shame,
In winter or summer-joy or strife,
Is the only love that is worth the name.
The love that loves for a summers day
Is not the love that will do for me,
But the love that loves when the sky is
gray,
Is the love that will last for eternity.

Apothecary Sick, of Bergkirchen, in
Westphalia, entertained the kaiser
against his will at the time of the army
maneuvers in September. The apothe-
cary owns house in the outskirts with
Il piazza running along the first story.
He had been obliged to quarter num-
her of officers and men during their
stay in the town, and had turned over
to them every spare room and bed. He
kept the room opening on the piazza
for himself and his wife. and one night
went to bed leaving the house door on
the latch for the convenience OF his
guests. At four o'clock in the morn
ing Kaiser Wilhelm, with his staff, en-
tered the town. The kaiser noticed the
riazza and thought it a good place from
which to observe the country. An Off
GER was sent ahead to clear the way,

duke of Mecklenburg, came to the door

getting no answer, pushed it open and
walked into the room, where he found
the worthy apothecary in bed with
Frau Sick. The clatter of his sword
woke up the apothecary. who was nat
urally indignant, and cried out: This
is too much. Are you crazy?"

knocked, but no one answered. May we
not go out on your balcony? At any

BEES AS WEAPONS IN WAR.

History records two instances, ac-
cording to Whitley Stokes, in which
bees have been used in warfare az
weapons against besieging forces. The
first is related by Appian OF the Siege
of Themiscyra, in Pontus, by Lucullus
in his war against Mithridates. Tur-
rets were brought up, mounds were
built, and huge mines were made by
the Romans The people Of Themis-
cyra dug open these mines above, ana
through the holes cast down upon the
wOrkmen bears and other wild AMI
mails and hives or swarms of bees.
The second instance is recorded in
an Irish manuscript in the Bfblio-
theque Royale at Brussels, and tells
how the Danes and the Norwegians at
tackled Chester which was defended by
the SaXons and some Gallo auxiliar-
les The Danes were worgted by strate-
gem; but the Norwegians, sheltered by
hurdles tried to pierce the walls OF the
town. when what the Saxons and the
Gaedhil, who were among them, did
was to throw down the hurdles over
their heads. What the others did to
check this was to place largo posts un-

which the LOcheans applied TO this
was to throw down all the beehives In
