The Leaf Cutter Bee.

A writer in knowledge describes the
interesting operations of the bee called
the "leaf cutter" This insect drills in
a sand bank hole 10 inches deep and
half an inch in diameter and divides it
into about q dozen compartments or
cells. Each cell is composed of pieces OF
leaf, cut into proper shapes and care
fully fitted together. Rose leaves and
sweet pea leaves are among the favorites
of the bees.
The cutting is done with the jaws,
while the six legs hold the leaf in posi-
ton anu enable the insect to turn itself
about with the precision Of a pair OF
compasses. Some of the cut pieces arc
perfect circles Others are oblong figur
of varying proportions. Having cut GU.
the segment of leaf, an operation re
curing about 90 seconds, tho bee car.
ries it 20 the sand bank and then re-
tulns for more materials. When a piece
has been nearly cut off, the bee, in or
der to prevent tearing, poises itself IL
the air with it's wings and completes
the operation with clean cut.

amer lcan Copperheads

Inter Ocean: No one can read the
story OF the time, in the Philippines
without the conviction that had 1T
not been for the American copper
heads the Tagals would have been
the first to adopt the present course
OF the Visayans and the Negroes.
1t is not putting the case too strong
ly to say that the outbreaks IN the
island of Luzon have been melted by
men like Hoar, Hale, German,
Schurz, and Carnegie. The respon-
sibility for rebellion and arson ia
lie vicinity OF Manila rests with the
Senatorial pettiiogger and the mug
wump sentimentalists, who worked
on the vanity and egotism OF the
half-breed mercenary, Agulnaldo.
The blood OF American troops spilled
near Manila, and the loss OF proper
ty in that city, must be charged up
against the obstructionists IN the
nited States Senate and their sup
porters on the public platforms OF
the country.

give tonics the go by and to try instead

cold water and take a thorough dous-

done, take brisk rub down with a

1t gives one sense of exhilaration. But

FATE OF A BRUTE.
A Mississippi Mob Takes Revenge
on N Negro Criminal by Burn
ing Him at the stake.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 21.-A special
to the Scimitar from Canton, Miss,
says: The little town of st. Anne, 20
miles east of Canton, in Leake county,
was Thursday night the scene of hor-
rible tragedy sequel to the burning
of the Gambrel family the night be-
fore. Joe Leflore, a negro, who was
captured by posse, confessed that he,
in company with other negroes, had tied
Mrs. Gambrel and her four children
to the floor of the house, saturated the
Surroundings with kerosene, and
burned the unfortunate people alive.
The negro, after the confession of the
awful crime, was promptly roped to a
stake and burned to a crisp, while the
citizens looked on in grim silence.
Canton, Miss, Oct. N3.-John GRAY
(colored), implicated in the murder of
the Gambrell family at st. Anne, was
hanged there by a mob.

FOUND HIM DEAD.
Sudden Close of the Life of One of
the Oldest Conductors on
Michigan Railroad.

Grand Rapids, Oct. 21.-It was a
grewsome find which brakeman upon
the Muskegon, Grand Rapids d Indi-
ana railroad made Thursday afternoon
when he entered the caboose of the
through freight and found the body
of Conductor Edward w. Johnston, of
this city, lying upon the floor beside
his chair. Johnston left home in the
morning on his run, apparently as well
as he had been for several months, his
health having been poor of late, and
he was undoubtedly stricken with heart
failure. He was one of the oldest con-
ductors on the NJ, G. r. & L., and had
the. northern run TO Mackinaw for
many years until he was laid off with
a number of the old men. He was taken
back and assigned to duty upon the
freight line. He was a member of the
Knights Templar and Elks.
