THE J1GGER'S JOURNEY.

The very small species of the flea, COM
monty known as the jigger. whose native
home is the tropical and sub-tropical
American world. has now half completed
its journey. His arrival in India and
Madagascar is almost simultaneously re-
ported. On his conquering way he has
badly frightened many barbarous tribes
by his propensity to bore through the
skin and find Judgement under it. and
many villages and sometimes whole dis
tricts We're abandoned by the natives
during his journey across Africa.
In September. 1872, a sailing vessel from
Brazil dumped a quantity of sane bal
last on the beach at Ambriz, a little
south of the Congo. This event has his
toric importance from the fact that the
jigger crossed the ocean in this sand n
1t is believed to have been his first intro
duction to foreign territory. His rate of
advance across Africa depended upon the
means of transportation at hand. for the
jigger will not hop when he may ride. 1t
was 10 years before he struck the cara
van route to Stanley Pool, and then he
journeyed quickly and comfortably with

FAMOUS TOr

Biblical and other histories say that
Palestine was famous for it's honey in
ancient times. The natives still raise a
great deal of honey, but their methods
lave been crude, they having secured the
honey only by destroying the bees n
therefore their business has not been
profitable. OF late years, however, their
methods have been improving and the
industry is now developing with the use
of modern appliances. This great inn
provement is wholly due to a Jewish
family named Baldensperger that went
from switzerland in 1s49 and settled near
the famous pools of Solomon, seven miles
south of Jerusalem. 1t was not until 1880
that this family made their real start in
the bee business. and now, according to
Consul Merrill, at Jerusalem, they are
famous In their line Of industry.
In 1888 they carried out the novel idea
Of transporting their bees from one To-
cality to another to give them fresh pas
tuTage among the blossoms. The first
experiment was to transport the hives
to Yafa, a distance Of II miles, to give
the bees the benefit of the orange bios
SONS there. Women carry the hives on
their heads all the way, each woman
carrying a hive. During April, the bees
gathered for those thrifty Jews a rich
harvest of orange blossom honey. Then
the hives were removed to two other
places, where crops of honey from cactus
and acacia blossoms were also obtained.
TIL, Baldensperger boys, pleased with
their success, started aplaries in other To-
calities Inc began to gather a great deal
of honey from other blossoms also, such
as the lemon and wild thyme. Their bees
were very Industrious and so of their
hives at Yafa have sometimes yielded g.
900 pounds of honey in less than a month.
OF course the Turks officials soon
heard of this prosperous industry and
onerous taxes were imposed on the Bal
denspergers. There have been other an
%noyances also which have interfered with
their business, but they have persevered
and now find a good market for all the
honey produced. Their product goes to
Germany. switzerland, England and a
little to France. The average yield pei
the product is taken from the hives only
during the four working months begin
ming in April.
Awhile 6 an American named How
ari heard the story of these prosperous
bee raisers of Palestine while he was in
that country He visited the family anG
purchased from them a number of queer
bees. - of which were still alive when he
reached home. and he sold them here fol
SIS apiece. In this way. the bees of Pal.
estine have been introduced into Ameri
ca.
The Baldenspergers extract the honey
without killing the bees and have laugh,
their methods TO a good many of the ma
tives and also to Jewish %colonists, who
have gone to Palestine. Through the eff
forts of this family it is likely tina Pal.
estine will again become famous for its
honey.-New York Sun.

THE. GRAND MATRoN HERE.
Edna Chapter o. E. S., Entertains in
Honor of Mrs. Bishop.

Another pleasant event i'll the his
tory of Edna chapter, Order of the
Eastern Star, occurred Tuesday night at
Masonic hall. The occasion was the
visit of the grand matron, Mrs. Jennie
Bishop, of Dillon. The early hours
of the evening We're devoted to a bust
ness session and the inspection of the
work by the grand matron. She found
the chapter in good condition and
paid a deserving compliment to the
officers in charge. After the close of
the business session the meeting was
open to all Masonic families, and the
hall was crowded to its utmost capac-
ity with Masonic people who were
present to greet the grand matron and
witness the Floral Addenda which
was given at the request Of the grand
matron. This work is beautiful as
we'll as impressive, and was almost
perfectly rendered. The marching
and countermarching being done with
military precision. Those in charge
were: Mrs. Francis Spear, worthy
matron; Mrs. Bell Clement, associate
matron; Mrs. Lucy Railsback, con-
d%uctress; Mrs. Edith Chapple, asso-
ciate conductress; Mrs. Sara Morse,
Adah; Miss Ella Hayden, Ruth; Miss
Bessie Platt, Esther; Mrs. Clara Sum-
mers, Martha; Mrs. Jennie Selbrede,
Electra. This emblematic degree was
conferred on Past Worthy Matron
Mrs. Ollie Donovan. The ladies we're
attired in white Grecian robes, and
wore their hair in Grecian style and
carried torches. These with candles
at either end of the hall furnished the
only light and the effect was beautiful.
Mrs. Minnie Tompkins presided at
the piano during the ceremony, and
contributed much toward the success
of the affair. Mrs. S. r. Morse, Miss
Martha Tompkins, Chas. Spear and
W. H. Morse, also assisted by singing
appropriate selections. Mrs. Bishop
gave an interesting talk that was
much appreciated by her attentive
listeners. She is a talented woman
and is very enthusiastic in the East
ern Star work and will materially
strengthen the work in this state the
coming year.
At the close Of the ceremonies the
guests were seated at small tables and
served with sandwiches, olives, cakes
and coffee.

FOUND. o MAN.

About ! O'Clock Tuesday morning
word was received in this city that q
suspicious character, supposed to be
the Springdale murderer, was located
in the hills on Canyon creek. A
posse was at ono organized consisting
OF John Collins, Jack HEREFORD, w. d.
Smith and Forest Young, who depart
ed about 2 o'clock for the place indi-
Gated. At Hesper farm they were
joined by Claude Parker and Charles
Unger, the young men who had locat-
ed the suspect. The party then pro-
ceeded up Canyon creek until they
came to the 'dugout" in which the
suspect was located. This was just
as daylight was breaking. A dim light
shown from the one small window and
the posse surrounded the "dugout.' -
No II of the party cared to approach,
open the door and demand the occu-
pants surrender so a parley was held.
Jack HEREFORD volunteered to scale the
wall and smoke the desperate from
his den if Billy Smith would lend
him his %overcoat to place over the
chimney. Now Billy had a new over
coat and consequently refused the
proposition. Jack, who never weak
ems on IN undertaking, however,
mounted to the root and dropped some
cartridges or other combustibles, more
likely some fred fire. left over from
the late independent democratic CAM
paign, down the chimney and at the
same time called upon the inmate to
come forth with hands up.
The effect was all that the posse
desired, in a moment there appeared
at the door a man-long bearded,
ragged and tattered-with the re-
mark: "Your a hi of a set to shoot
a mans leg off while he's eating his
breakfast" On examination however
it was found that the man was not
hurt but was a poor old half-crazy
tramp who preferred travelling
through the hills to pursuing his
course along the highways. The boys
took pity upon him and offered to
make up a purse with which to pur-
chase him clothes, but this he de-
clined, saying that he had money of
his own.
The boys, however. showed the
proper spirit and had the occupant of
the "dugout" been the real criminal
he would have been captured dead or
alive.
