INTRODUCING QUEENS.
Description of a Method which Has
Been Tried Successfully by
Skilled Beekeeper.

Some wears ago | sent to a Massachu-
setts queen-breeder for six queens, and
they were to be introduced according to
his plans and if any failed to become
safely introduced the dead would be re-
placed by living queens. His instruc-
tions were to remove the old queen from
the hives that were to receive the new
stock; and bare of the candy, at once
lay the cage over the frames and close
the hive for five days-a thing which l
did and found only one queen that had
been accepted. Two or three years later,
saws a writer in the American Bee Jour
nal, l received an albino queen from
an Iowa breeder, but this time | made
the colony queenless that was to receive
the queen AS hours before introducing,

SELFISH MAN PUNISHED.
Justice-Loving Passengers
Much joy.

Passengers on an Atlantic City train a
few evenings ago were treated to spectacle
of retributIve justice that tickled them IA

dust was flying pretty thickly, all the pas
sengers save one had their windows down.

weedy-looking whiskers, and these he al
lowed to sway in and out of the window with
the gusty zephyrs. OF course, he got none
of the dust and cinders, for these always
blow in the seat directly behind. Two nicely
dressed women occupied these unfortunate
quarters, and, after suffering martyrdom for
about 20 minutes, one of them asked the
'open-window fiend" if he would mind put
ting the window down. Mo- he replied

In front of the man sat a travelling man,
who took in the situation at glance. Quick
as a flash he raised his window, and instant

behind began to perform most fearful Sc

and the wind twisted them. Their owner,
after few moments of such violence, got
red in the face and then put his window
down. A few moments later he leaned over
and asked the other passengers TO shut of

KISSING THE MAJORS SHOES.

Finally the opportunity came, and his
deadly purpose was accomplished"
Charlie Cooper, for years confidential
private secretary to Gov. Foraker and
Gov. Mckinley of Ohio, was an atten-
tive listener to the above narrative.
He said: "Since coming to Washing
ton | have been surprised to note the
carelessness or laxity of discipline about
the president | don't know whether
anyone is to blame or not. But it seems
to me that access to the president is en-
tirely too easy. The governors were
looked after more carefully. During
the presidential campaign Maj. McKin-
lev was guarded all the time, although
there was no ostentation of police pres
ence and protection. Cranks are al
ways likely to appear about executive
mansions, and precautions cannot be
too complete to cope with them, when
ever an emergency may arise.
For example, while Mckinley was
governor | told the colored doorkeeper
that if | ever asked him to admit my
friend he must go at once for the cap
tain of the capitol police. That was a
good precaution, as you will see. One
morning. while | was sitting back of
screen writing private letters, | heard
a heavy voice ask if the governor was
in. / didn't like the voice, and stepped
from behind my screen, just as the
clerk near the door. who was reading
paper. said that the governor was in,
and that the stranger could see him.
stepping before the stranger. a pow
erful fellow he was, | closed the door
and informed him that the governor
was busy for few moments, and could
not see him Immediately. He was
angry. and intimated that he would go
in anyway. but | smiled at him pleas
antly. and soothingly asked him to sit
down and read the morning paper un-
til the governor could find time 10 see
him. Finally he complied with my re-
quest. and as he sat down ] heard some
thing in his coat pocket strike the
chair. quickly turned my face away.
so that he could not catch my eye to see
whether or not / had heard that sound.
Very quietly | called the colored man.
and told him to admit my friend. The
big crank before me never looked up.
Inside of five minutes he was in the
grasp of two policemen. 1t required
also the aid of two more men to control
him while he was searched. In his
coat pocket was a 42-caliherreyolver He
was an escaped lunatic from an asylum
in western state, and was returned to
that institution. So. you see. one can
not be too careful and too watchful in
observing cranks and peculiarities
of voice and manner. That fellow never
told what he wanted to see the gov
ernor for. and we kept the matter quiet.
I called in all the newspaper men and
told them the story so that no one of
them could get scoop on the Others,

ELECTRICITY UNDERGROUND.
Trolley Roads and Bright Lights
Are Now to BE Seen in ILL
nois Coal Mines.

Among the wonderful things that
electricity has done, few seem more re-
markable, or more admirable, than it's
recent abolition, in a coal mine in Illi-
nois, of darkness underground, and it's
employment at the same time to re-
place hand or animal power in hauling
the coal to the shafts. Trolley roads
far below the surface, and electric
lights rather than the Pickering little
lamps on the miners heads or on the
walls of the rooms in which they
work, constitute indeed revolution in
mining processes.
This innovation has been made in
coal mine No. IL, at Mount Olive, in
southern illinois. An electrical plant,
set up on the surface above the mine,
successfully operates trolley lines,
lights and shaft elevators below. The
wires are strung overhead along the
entries, and penetrate to the farthest
depths of the mine.
The miners, working by bright cleo
trio light, load the cars in their re-
spective rooms; the cars are then con-
nected with the trolleys, and are
whisked away to the bottom of the
shaft, to be hoisted above.
At the trial IA cars were hauled in
a row with perfect ease. 1t would have
taken a great many mules-the motive
power formerly employed in the mine
to do this. The cage is kept hosting
continuously.
The quickpess of the transportation
astonishes the miners. A car contain
ing several men was pulled by the troll
ley distance of a mile in two minutes.
The men had to cling to the car to keep
from being blown off by the strong
current in the mine, and reported that
they lost their breath"
The use of electric lighting and trans
portation in mines is likely to amelio-
rate greatly the lot of miners. 1t di-
minishes the danger of explosion, accel-
crates the work, and saves much pollu-
ton of the air caused by the use of
lamps and animals.-Youth's Compan-

ORIGIN Of "Rubberneclx., ;,

The slang expression 'rubberneck"
was born in Vallejo, Cal, and it was
used all over the slope for a number of
years before it finally worked its way
east. The man from whom the express
sion was derived-or, rather, to whom
it was first applied-is constable in
Vallejo. In former years he Travelled
with a one-night-stand circus as man
with rubber skin. His looseness of
pelt is still remarkable. When the show
with which he travelled smashed up in
Vallejo this man, after hanging around
for while, got job as town constable.
He possessed a very inquisitive nature,
and, armed with his new authority, he
did lot of nosing around and prying.
A drunken marine from Mare Island,
who knew of the constable's man-with-
a-rubber-skin history, first applied the
title "rubberneck" to the constable,
and, although the marine got 'pinchedn
for it, the constable's new title stuck,
and he has to stand for it down to the
present time. The word worked its
way down to San Francisco in time.
and thence all over the coast, and some
travelling men took it east two or three
years ago.-San Francisco Bulletin.

ORDINARY CIvILITY.
The Advantages and Pleasures OF
1t as EIucidated by Mr..
Gobbleby.

81 should recommend as an investment
said Mr.. Gobbleby, "the practice of civility.
As a matter of fact, / don't suppose that a
very great number OF men have suddenly be-
come wealthy through this means; that is,
don't suppose that large number of very
rich people have left fortunes to men who
had been at one time or another polite to
them, but j don't doubt, either, that there
have been Just such cases, and | don t for a
moment doubt that substantial advantages
have often accrued to men through their
consistent eivihty.
But aside from any question of material
profit Though there is still always the
chance of that involved in it, / should say
that the exercise of eivility would pay for
another reason. There are lots of people
who like civil treatment, who are, in fact,
really pleased by it, and though we might
not get anything in dollars and cents out of
civility extended in this way toward people
in general, yet / should say it would pay, for
we should get from it, at least, the pleasure
that is always to be derived from affording
pleasure to others.
SO | should say that from whatever point
of view we look at it, civility is a good in
vestment we are sure to get something out
of it, anyway, and it doesn't cost us cent. "

ALL OF A TREMBLE.
Most Remarkable story of Seismic
Disturbances on One of the
Leeward Islands.

Montserrat, one of the lesser Lee
ward islands, which is blessed with
telegraphic isolation and commune
Gates with the outside world by mail
only twice month, has just sent forth
somewhat remarkable earthquake
story. For some time, a period appar-
emily coincident with the recent seis-
mic disturbances on the mainland,
extending from Argentine through
Brazil and the Guianas northward as
far as Salvador, Montserrat had felt
repeated shocks. But little attention
was paid to these. They were slight
and inoffensive and were regarded by
the natives with the contempt born of
familiarity.
But following this experience re-
markable thing happened. From one
a. IN. to six a. m. the little island was
fairly bombarded with shocks, some of
them lasting about two minutes, with
an occasional exceptionally heavy one
thrown in. Altogether during the five
hours there were AS shocks. After that
there was a lull of several hours, and
then came one or two more. During the
night there were others, and so on, at
intervals by day and night for week,
when the record stops.
What has happened in the island
since is not known. But the result of
the Seismic bombardment" was sim
guiar, to say the least. What may be
regarded as peculiar was the effect on

Frustrated in a uniform direction, as
though cyclonic blast had passed over

several landslides were precipitated,
which did some damage to the lines.

might have been expected, and the crop

excellent lime juice and essential oils,
which make it far better known COM
