A Soldier who Carried n Hive Full
of Bees without Receive
Ing n sting.

Among the various experts of an in
fantry regiment was one individual
who had been bee hunter. For some
reason which he declined to state, bees
would never sting him. So one Sun
day morning-at Centerville-in the
presence of Gen. Sherman, he captured
a large old-fashioned beehive like
those we see in the pictures. This was
made of twisted straw. and was liter
ally crammed with honeycomb. He
bore the hive triumphantly on his head.
"Let him CO." said Gen. Sherman. who
had just issued an order against all ma
rauding, "he has taken his punishment
into his own hands!" And sure
enough, the bees followed in angry
swarm, but such was the magic of our
bee tanner that the hive arrived in safe
ty, and it's contents were divided among
the company, while not sting bore out
the prophecy of the general.

South mountain bevy OF quail were

A CIVIL WAR STORY.
1t Is Recalled by the Finding of n
knife Secreted During
the War.

officials of the Columbus CO., peni
tentiary lately found a knife that was
probably secreted by Thomas w. Bull
lett, of Louisville, Ky, who was one
of the Morgan raiders, who was i'm
prisoned with the famous confederate
in the prison during the civil war, and
who was one of the number to escape
from the prison. Mr. Bullett recently
told how and where he had secreted the
knife and expressed the belief that it
was still in the place where he put it
years ago. 1t was said that the knife
was one of IA which the prisoners of
war had made, which were hidden
when the fact of their possession was
exposed. The place Of concealment
was said to have been in an air shaft
used as a ventilator, and after persist
ent search it was found at the bot
tom, where it had dropped at some
time since the raiders left the prison.
1t was rust-eaten and the handles of
wood had nearly rotted away A sec
ond knife was also found in the tun-
mel. The discovery is of interest, since
1t settled a much-mooted point-the
means of escape of the prisoners. The
most of the prison officials believe that
the first knife is the one described by
Mr.. Bullet and if that be trueit proves
beyond question that the Morgan raid
ers made their escape, as has always
been claimed, by the tunnel route and
not by the aid or connivance of any
of the prison officials. This point is
given emphasis, too, by the fact, as
stated by Mr.. Bullet, that the raid
ers took no stock in Warden Marion;
in fact, disliked him, but he was anx-
ious that the truth should be known
for the truth of history, and in order
TO relieve the warden's memory of any
odium that might have attached to it
by reason of the escape of Gen. Nor
gan and his six companions.-St. Louis
Republic.

NOT ALWAYS EASY.

It isn't always easy, when the day is cold
and bright
And you're very fond Of coasting and can
skate,
To be sitting on a school-bench, with the
hill and pond in sight,
And adding rows of fractions on your
slate.
1t isn't always easy, when the brook is full
of trout,
And your fishing-rods behind the closet
door,
To have to fill the wood-box, and go pot
tering about
At things which never seemed so hard
before.
It isn't always easy, when the sky is
softly blue,
And the other girls are romping in the
yard,
and one and two"
And plod through scales ridiculously
hard.
1t isn't always easy, when there's any
thing on hand,
Which is pleasanter than study or than
work,
To pull yourself together, and take plucly
stand,
And to tell yourself there's no such word
as shirk.
1t isn't always easy; but 1t certainly is
right,
And it won't be long before results will
show
That work and study give us all we have
that's good and bright
What little boys and girls can't always
know.

WHAT A DAY MEANS.
1t Is the Interval Between Two Sue
cessive Passages of the Sun
Across the Meridian.

Nine persons out of ten-yes, nine
hundred and ninety-nine out of every
thousand-if asked how long It takes
the earth to turn once on its axis would
answer "a hours; ard to the question:
How many times does it turn on its axis
in the course of the year, the answer
would be 365A times.
Both answers are wrong. 1t requires
but 20 hours and So minutes for the
earth to make one complete turn, and it
makes 366A turns during the year.
The error springs from wrong idea
of what is meant by day. The day is
not, as is commonly supposed, the time
required by the earth to make one turn
on its axis, but the interval between the
two successive passages OF the sun
across the meridian; that is to say, the
time which elapses after the sun is seen
exactly south, in its diurnal course
through the heavens, before it is again
seen in that position.
Now, in consequence of the earth's
revolution in its orbit, or path round
the sun, the sun has the appearance OF
moving very slowly in the heavens in
direction from east to west. AT noon
tomorrow the sun will be short dis
tance to the east of the point in the
heavens at which it is seen at noon to-
day, so that when the earth has made
one complete turn it will still have to
turn four minutes longer before the sun
can again be seen exactly South.--Gold-
en- Days.

NEAT DOG KENNEL.
How Any Bright Boy Can House His
Canine Pets Comfortably
and Easily.

There are undoubtedly great many
boys who own dogs but perhaps have
no kennel in which to keep them. A
large box with a hole in it large enough
for a dog to crawl through is better
than nothing; but kennel of neat ap-
pearance and simple construction can
easily be made that when completed
will appear like the illustration.
For a dog of medium size, kennel
should measure SO inches long, "a
inches wide, and from bottom to peak
it can stand "a inches high. The hole
at the front will have to be cut large
enough so the dog may pass in and out

DOG WITH WOODEN LEG.
He Lives in Los Angeles, CAL, and
Makes Parachute Jumps for
His Masters Benefit.

There is just one dog in the world
that has a wooden leg, and he lives in
Los Angeles, Cal. He is owned by Will
liam Hawkins, an aeronaut, and, be-
sides being the wearer of an artificial
limb, is quite a parachute jumper. Mr..
Hawkins has on several occasions taken
Jack up with him in his balloon, and,
when at considerable distance from
the earth, cut the dog loose, still at
tached to the parachute, of course, and
he has gently descended to mother
earth.
All of Jacks aerial adventures have
proved successful, as he has landed in
every instance without accident, and
seems to have enjoyed himself i'm
mensely. He is a little brown, curly
dog, resembling a water spaniel more
than anything else. The man who made
Jacks wooden leg is George r. E. Milli7
story about it:
Jack was run over by street car,
which cut off one of his front legs. His
master was passing by my place of busi-
ness, saw wooden legs displayed in the
window and Immediately thought OF
jack. He asked if it was possible for
me to fit Jack up with a new limb. I
told him that making artificial limbs
for the lower animals had never occu-
pied my attention before, but that If
he would give Jack over to my care
would do the best I could for him.
Jacks measure was taken, and in the
course of time the limb was finished
and Jack requested to come and try on
| the new member.
ITO say the dog was pleased is put
ting it mildly, for he seemed to know
what we were trying to do for him. He
| jumped around and barked in a manner
that seemed to say: 4 am satisfied.
At first Jack did not know how to use
his new limb, but by degrees he learned
to use it quite well, and attracted the
wonder and admiration of all who came
in contact with him. IN. Y. Herald.

the nippers against the wound, one on
each side, and then gives the bug a
squeeze. The indignant insect natural
ly snaps his nippers together, piercing
the flesh and bringing the lacerated
parts close together. The Brazilian at
that moment gives the ants body a
jerk, and away it flies, leaving the nip
pers imbedded in the flesh. To be sure,
that kills the ant, but, as he has served
his most useful purpose in life, it is
well. The operation is repeated un-
TIL the wound is sewed up neatly and
thoroughly.

to pieces. Col, Kennicott, however, ar
ranged the advance SO skillfully that
the shells continually went beyond his
men. The confederates set their bat
teries for a certain distance, but by the
time the fire was delivered the skir-
mishers had got out of range by NOV
ing closer in. The confederates in the
pits were captured and the way cleared
in few minutes. 1t was just at sun
down. The whole federal force of 1s
regiments or more advanced, cheering
and swinging their hats, and Mobile
was captured. During the charge OF
the skirmishers Col. Kennicott WAS the
target toward which the sharpsho ooters
aimed good many of their bullets. At
one time for an instant he seemed to be
sheltered behind a tree. A man from
an Iowa regiment, crawling along in
the open, shouted:
Cant l get over there with you
colonel?"
Certainly" said Col. Kennicott.
The man had not been there a second
before he said: "My, but they are
shooting at you, colonel" and in a mo-
ment he said; "Golly. colonel. they're
after you" A little later the Iowan
gave yell and dashed from the peril
Gus shelter. "My goodness. colonel
they're shooting cannon at you'll" he
roared.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

line. Many were caught, and several
of the birds flew for refuge to the
breasts of the soldiers, hiding under the
blouse. l trembled for the future, but
so strong is the petting instinct in the
young soldier that these quails were all
tanned and kept as household pension
ers in the rude huts which were to be
our winter quarters. l was greatly
shStked, however, to learn that the
cock birds were often pitted against
each other in fight, following a we'll
known (Chinese) custom, which pre-
fers quail to game cocks.
One of the most extraordinary Incl
dents that l remember of pet life in
camp was the infatuation which our
big California major inspired in the
fluffy bosom of a young rooster (or
cockerel, as they called him in Virgina).
This ungainly bird, with waddling gait
and ragged plumage, would follow the
object of his devotion with an assiduity
as absurd as it seems incredible, One
night, an alarm of pickets having swak-
ened the camp-we were in bivouac and
Gen. Early was in front of us-this
young rooster was discovered sitting
on the toe of the majors boot, head
under his wing, fast asleep. 1t was the
famous attack by Gordan's division at
Cedar creek, when Sheridan was "2O
miles away" All who were aware of
the chaos and confusion of that day,
which made Sheridan famous, can re-
alize how that little cockerel was los:
in the fray and doubtless fell into the
ruthless hands of the confederates--
