Hon. John d. Long, Secretary OF the
Navy, is the author OF a very notable
contribution to the forthcoming Ounce
number OF Frank Leslie's Popular

from the torpedo boats and d~estroyers to
the most formidable first-class battle

HONEY BEES FROM THE PHILIP.
PINES.

The Department of Agriculture will
introduce into the United States the
great honey bees found in the Philip
pines. These bees are twice as large as
those of this country, and produce FIVE
or six times as much honey. The Phil
ippine bees have extra long tongues,
and can reach the nectar in many flow
ers that our own variety cannot reach.
While this move will be of material bene-
fit. it will not be any more so than
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
reaches and cures many ailments that
other remedies fall short Of Among
them may be mentioned dyspepsia, indi-
gestion, biliousness, constipation, ma
laria. wasting diseases, and affections of
the kidneys and blood. We especially
recommend the Bitters to men and wo-
men whose nervous systems are shatter-
ed, and who are unable to sleep well.
They will find it tonic of the utmost
value, and strength-maker of peculiar
excellence.

GuartlA the Cznr,s Life.

The man who is the most important
in the whole domain OF Russia, from
the point of view of its ruler, is the
outrider. The czar never travels by
rail without the gendarme, who is
supposed to have the keenest scent for
nihilist weapons of any one in his
empire, going ahead of the train on
his peculiar railway bicycle. Travel
ing slowly, with eyes and ears alert
for the presence of the enemies of his
master and their terrible weapons, this
outrider carries his own life in his
hands and the life of him who is con-
sidered Of much more importance, the
ruler of the Russian empire.
Incidentally, the outrider is on the
lookout for defects in the railroad that
might play havoc with the royal train,
but this is not the primary object Of
his preceding the imperial party. He
is an inconspicuous object on his curl
GUS wheel, and it is not likely that his
swift progress along the road will be
observed until lie is too near a would-
be assassin for the latter to accom-
plish his purpose.
A long experience with the nihilist
gang of Russia has taught the police
of that country that the bomb is the
favorite weapon with the killer OF
kings. Should one of these be left on
the track in such position that the
wheels of the imperial train would ex-
plode it; it must surely be discovered
by the outrider. or, if he were unfor-
tunate enough to overlook it, the czar's
life at least would be saved, for the
railway bicycle would cause the bomb
to blow mp, the riders life alone being
sacrificed. Hence the importance OF
the outrider. He is continually in the
proud position OF offering his life for
his master. London Chronicle

who say that women's figures have
not been improved by wearing these

over fitted Innings that close in centre

included in right shoulder seam and
sewed permanently to lining, hooking
over on left. The fronts are uniquely
shaped in squares at the top and are
arranged in two forward turning
plaits at the lower edge, the trimming
being gracefully brought down on the
edge of each plait. The back Innings
are covered to yoke depth with the
contrasting material, the shaping and
trimming being arranged on the whole
