OF teaching the Chinese the worth of Chris

made some show of resistance against the

were shot for their presumption. Many

The White Adventures.
Not less rapacious than the Chinese loot
ers were scores of white adventures from
the foreign concession that had been so
long under fire. and whose lives and prop

tect. No sooner had the walled city fallen
than these white adventures flocked to the
scene. They went at the native shops like
madmen. battering down doors and search

shelves were ransacked by these white
civilians. and the goods piled i'm heaps on
the hoor-some of the heaps to be taken
and others to be abandoned Cash boxes
were broken open. and axes. knives. ham,

chests. Floors were pulled up where they
existed. and tiny back yards were gone
over industriously with spades.
These European adventurers came in

The Rec Tracker,
From the New Orleans Times Democrat.

Talk about your queer trades" said a
man from Texas. what do you think of
bee tracking as means of making a liy-
ing? l know several professional bee track
ers who have never done anything else in
their lives, and their skill is something al
most incredible. What is the work like do
you ask? Well I'll explain. Down in Bee
county, in my state. where some of the
greatest aDiarieS in the world are located
all honey is graded and marked according
to the bloom from which 1t was obtained
For example, you may have your choice
OF cotton blossom, wild clover, horse mint
and several other brands, each distinct in
flavor. This seems mysterious TO a stran-
ger, because the bees range wild over miles
Of countryside; but 1t was discovered long
ago that the colony from each hive or clus-
ter Of hives always draws its sweets from
some one particular flower and religiously
shuns the others. At the beginning of the
honey-making season the proprietor of a
bee farm wants to know, of course how
much of each flavor he Is going to have as
a basis for calculations: so he sets the
tracker to work. The tracker who Is al
ways native Mexican, mounts his tough
little bronco, rides over to a row Of hives,
waits until big, healthy looking bee
energies, and, when 1t flies away on its
daily quest. he gallops along in its wake.
Often the feeding ground Is miles distant
and the bee takes anything but a bee line.
On the contrary, Ii makes long detours,
frisks and frolics through gardens loafs in
shady groves and has good time gener-
ally; but 1t Is the rarest thing in the world
for 1t to shake of its shadow How the
Mexican manages to keep 1t In sight and
distinguish it from other bees 1t meets en-
route have never been able to understand.
The business seems actually to develop q
special faculty. When the bee finally
reaches its destination the tracker makes
a mental note of the variety of flower and
then returns home. Next day he verihes
his observation by following another honey
gatherer and then labels the hive and pro-
ceeds to the next one. When his task Is
done the apiary man knows exactly what
he can depend on in the several fiavors.
The crackers are well paid-enough to let
them loaf between seasons"

But few minutes later 1t was discovered

that for few hours every train on all

station to station. Those in charge Of

But to men who had eaten nothing in days
but bareback and bacon, and not always
enough of that, any kind of vegetables

shook his head and protested uneasily in

that case, they would take the vegetables
anyway. appraise them at a fair price and
offer the money to the yellow man. Out

From the Philadelphia Record.

Two sisters, who have not seen each
other for ffty-nine years, met in Potts

their reunion was marred by the strange
fact that neither could understand what
the other said Mrs. John Knapp. seventy
years Of age. of San Diego, CAL, was one
Of them, and when she left Berks county
in 1S41 she could master the German Ian
guage fairly well. But her long absence
caused her to forget all of it, and when her
sister, Mrs. Charles Hortz of Exeter, greet
ed her in Pennsylvania German it was like
80 much Greek to the California woman.
She tried her English on her sister, but
that did not help matters, as Mrs. Bortz
could speak only German. To get over the
difficulty the sisters are now accompanied
by their niece, Mrs. j. w. Gilbert Of Read

says that young Chinese lady there has
recently been married to a red flower vase.
the vase being a substitute for the son of
a wealthy mandarin to whom she had been
engaged. Her fiance died just before the
contemplated marriage. and as she vowed
she would never wed another, the flower
vase was substituted for the bridegroom,
and the marriage celebrated with all due
pomp. These impersonal marriages are not
uncommon in China, and IL is easy to be-
lieve that a happy pair so united would
easily dispense with other family jars.

Mr. Major the famous cement man OF New York
explains some very interesting facts about Majors
Cement.
The mutitudes who use this standard article
know that II is many hundred per cent better thar
other dement's for which similar claims are made
but great many do not know why. The simple
reason is that Mr.. Major uses the best materials
ever discovered and other manufacturers do not
use Them, because they too expensive and do
not allow large profits. Mr.. Major tells us that
one OF the elements OF his cement costs as a
pound and another costs s265 a gallon. while a
large share OF the so.called cements and LIQUID
teen-cent glue, dissolved in water or oitric acid,
and. In some eases, altered slightly in color and
oder BY the addition Of cheap and useless mate
rials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents and twen-
I'VE cents bottle and when dealer tries TO sell a
substitute you can depend upon II that his only
OBJECT Is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much as any
dealer ought TO make on any cement. And this is
douoly true In view OF the fact that each dealer
gets his share Of the benefit Of Mr. Majors adver-
using, which now amounts TO over $4,000 a month,
throughout the country. Established in 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept any Of
