Horses in Battle.
From Pearson's Magazine.

One of the most curious sights to be seen
in a cavalry charge is the various rtderless
horses galloping in the line in perfect order.
At the charge of Balaclava the front rank
of one regiment was composed to great
extent of riderless animals, their masters
having dropped one by one. 1t would seem
that in the excitement of the moment the
horses lose all conception of what is hap
pening around them, and probably fail TO
notice the fall of their riders The return
Of riderless horses to camp is an almost
certain sign of defeat When a cavalry
charge is successful the horses will. L
have said, all keep up together, even
though they have lost their riders: but
when force is routed the first news OF i'll
omen to those in the rear will be the re-
turn of the horses with empty saddles and
stirrups dangling free. No more sorry sight
feeling these animals have under fire.
case which happened at Ladysmith during
the siege may be cited. A farrfer sergeant
was engaged in shoeing an officers horse in
the open ground behind the stables OF
hotel, and had already put one OF two nails
into the shoe when a shell came scream
ing through the air. The next moment the
missile burst five or six yards away from
where the sergeant and the horse were
standing. and the splinters few around
both, but failed to touch either When the
smoke had cleared the horse was to be
seen with its foot still In the mans apron,
quite undisturbed by the incident.

THE WILD HONEY CROP.
Texas Bees Are Busy and the Flower,
Are Lu&uriaht.

S1Assc DSes HEC DuPy ana the Flowers
Are Lu4uriant.
Correspondence Of the Chicago Rseord.
The wild honey crop in Texas this year
will exceed all previous Yields in the mem.
ory of those who are interested in that in
dustry. The bountiful spring rains caused
the broad prairies Of west and southwest
Texas to become carpeted with fragrant
wild flowers. and the bees reveled in their
honeyed sweetness for protracted period
There are large number of professional
bee hunters in this part of Texas. and
they are looking forward to a season of
unusual prosperity from the sale of wild
money Ihere are scores Of rivers and small
streams in the country west of here Small
caves and dark recesseS formed by shely-
Ing rock abound along these WATERWAYS
They are the natural hives of the wild
bees, and take the place of the hollow tree
trunks of the forest regions of the north
ern country. These caverns are used year
after year by bees, and in many instances
they have been found to be literally filled
with honey. Capt. L. P. SEEKER of Austin,
quartermaster of the Texas Rangers spent
many years roaming over west Texas as
an officer Of a ranger company He is one
of the most expert bee hunters in the state
There are many bee caves along the
Pecos and Devils rivers" he said my
ranger company was never without honey.
We were scouting expeditions almost
constantly, but were never too busy to rob
how much honey these bees will store In
some Of these caves l have taken out as
much as seven barrels of pure honey from
one cave. 1t is a comparatively easy mat
ter to discover a bee cave My usual meth
cd is to go to spring or water hole which
is frequented by bees and place a small
quantity of sugar and molasses in pan.
This sweetness soon attracts the visi.i~r
bees. and after they have loaded up
rise straight into the air to a heis
probably ten feet and then make bee...e
for their hive On bright, clear day the
black form Of the bee can be followed for
quite distance l then take up the pan
of sweetness and follow the direction taken
by the bee until | reach point where | de-
sire to make another test. l then set the
pan down again. and in a short time it is
visited by the Industrious little insect. When
it again takes its flight | follow its course,
and keep this up until l track the bees
into their hive. 1t is a comparatively easy
thing to rob bee cave. The honey COM
Inands good price in the markets of the
country and immense quantities of 1t are
