The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1900-01-30

Sir Edward Russell knew 3. A. Soth-
ern, the actor, intimately and In his
book, ''That Reminds Me-" tells many
stories Of him.
He was dining at Portsmouth or
somewhere at regimental mess to
which the officers had asked him with
every show of the highest admiration
and with no appearance of social SUI
periority. After dinner, as the party
sat at wine, one Of the officers asked
Sothern to give them a recitation. Now,
Sothern abominated that kind of thing.
He wouldn't tolerate being treated
as an entertainer when he was by way
of being treated as a gentleman. He
coldly declined. They pressed him.
He hotly declined. Still they pressed
him. He expressed his feelings. Per
haps the officers were little affected
by wine. At all events they persist
ed. They would take no denial
At last he said in manner which
showed that he was nettled, but yet
yielding: swell, If you won't let me
off 1 must. I'll give you the dinner
scene from David Garrick.'
He did. He had never acted it bet
ter. They were delighted until, spring
ing to his feet, he made his wild, tipsy
exit, just as he did on the stage, and
dragged the cloth off the table and
with It all the regiments priced des-
sert china and decanters and glasses,
etc. Great was the smash. The actor
did not wait to be applauded or to i'm
prove the occasion. The lesson was, in
deed, rough one. and probably only a
man with some roughness in his dar-
ing humor would have given it. but it
was quite deserved.

How Hard Bees work.

Darwin after close observation found
that a bee would often visit as many
as 81 flowers in the course of minute,
though with other plants in which the
honey was difficult to extract the aver
age would be as low as seven. Strik-
ing mean between these two figures,
one may say that an ordinary working
bee visits 10 flowers minute, or 9OO
an hour. Considering the late hours to
which q bee works, 1t Is probably no
exaggeration to say that it is busy for
eight hours a day, allowing for inter-
walls of rest. This would make it visit
1900 flowers day, or 64S,000 in a pc
Rod of six months.
Mr.. A. s. Wilson In recent paper
showed the enormous amount of labor
gone through by bees in making even
a small quantity of honey. He found
that approximately 125 heads of red
clover yield 10 grains of sugar. or 1885,
600 heads about two pounds. AS each
head contains some 60 florets, 1t fol-
lows that 100000 distinct flower
tubes must be sucked in order to OBJ
tain two pounds of sugar. Now. honey
contains, roughly speaking, Is per cent
of sugar; therefore the bees must make,
in round numbers. 100000 visits for
one pound Of honey

..rhe worstert Crime Ever,


A young negress in mourning asked
the magistrate for warrant In the
jefferson Market court.
"There is a negro who has committed
the worstest crime ever" she said. Its
so awful l can't hardly tell about 1t.
My mother died a week ago, and he
done took a pawn ticket from the
corpse. Now he's done took out dia-
mond ring on that ticket that was my
mothers, and now the ring should be
mine, but he won't give 1t to me-"
"Well, that's rather bad" admitted
the magistrate, signing a warrant for
the offender.
The young woman returned In the
afternoon in company with well
dressed negro with whom she seemed
to be on very friendly terms. He was
the defendant.
"What have you got to say to the
charger the magistrate demanded of
him.
"Why," the man replied smilingly,
''the dead woman was my wife,"
SIS he your stepfather?" asked the
magistrate, turning to the girl
"Course he is" she answered.
"And why didn't you tell me that be-
foreT
"'Cause l wanted that ring, your
honor"
~Step out" said the magistrate.
"Step out" echoed a half dozen po-
licemen, while the man and the girl
walked out together without sign OF
animosity.-New York Exchange.

what ONE Hears In the Telephone.

what One Hears In the Telephone.
SIT is very hard to realize that the
voice one hears over the telephone is
not the voice of the person who Is
talking" said an electrician, chatting
about the oddities of the business. 1T
seems exactly like the real tones,
drawn out thin and small and carried
from a long distance by some mechan-
| ical means, but it isn't. When one
speaks into the instrument, little
diaphragm, like drumhead, begins to
vfbrate, and each vibration sends
wave Of electricity over the wire. These
waves set up a mimic vibration In an
other diaphragm at the opposite end,
which jars the air and produces an
imitation of the original voice.
THAT'S not very scientific expiana-
ton, but it's accurate. The autograph
telegraph, which makes facsimile OF
handwriting, is fair parallel. You
write your message with pen, at
tached to special electric apparatus,
and little ink siphon at the other end
of the line exactly initiates every dot
and curve. The result seems like the
real thing, but is merely first class
counterfeit It's the same way exactly
with the voice in the phone. New OF

KtI1ea CIasaical Quotations.

In tracing the decline Of the use of
classical quotations in legislative bod
les the Boston Herald cites the case of
Edward Everett, who once concluded
a stately speech In congress with a
long, sonorous and superbly modulated
citation of passage from Tacitus and
then took his seat. No sooner was be
through than up sprang a burly mem
Der from what was then frontier
state of the west. He had once been
an Indian agent. and no sooner was he
on his legs than he began to pour out
a vehement harangue in Choctaw.
After awhile the speaker called him to
order.
81 don't see why my freedom of
speech should be abridgedP he cried.
"You let the gentleman from Massa-
chusetts run on, and didn't under
stand the first word Of his lingo any
better than he does NINE"
The scene was described as very
comical, but it struck the deathknell
of further classical quotations in q
congress that had not the ray Of an
idea what the unintelligible lingo OF
Cicero and Tacitus was driving at

A verv Foxy Fox.

A gentleman whose word cannot be
doubted and who is not easily deceived
tells the following:
Very early one morning he saw fox
eying most wistfully number OF wild
ducks feeding in the rushy end of q
highland lake. After awhile the fox,
going to windward of the ducks, put
afloat In the lake several punches OF
dead rushes or grass, which 1oated
down among the ducks without caus-
Ing the least alarm.
After watching the effect of his pre-
liminary feet for short time the fox,
taking a good sized mouthful OF grass
in his jaws, launched himself into the
water as quietly as possible, having
nothing but the tips Of his ears and
nose above water.
In this way he drifted down among
the ducks and caught fine mallard.
Though this story seems extraordi-
nary, it must be remembered that the
fox manages to capture wild ducks,
wood pigeons, hares and numberless
other animals, sufficient to keep him
self and family, and 1t is plain to be
seen that In doing so he must practice
many trick that would seem improb-
able If related and quite beyond the in
stinct Of animals.-Omaha WorldHer-

His Intimate Friends.

Father Darcy, an Irish wit, was once
invited by man who was known as
an ignorant braggart to visit new
and beautiful house which the person
who had become wealthy suddenly
had bought. With more than his usual
pomposity the host dragged the priest
over the place and expatiated on the
excellence Of everything that he own
ed. Finally they reached the immense
library, where there were thousands OF
volumes, all splendid In binding. The
host sank into one of the great leather
covered chairs with sigh of content
ment and exclaimed:
"But, after all. father, what is all
this luxury compared with my favor
ties here? The other rooms maybe give
pleasure to my wife and daughters,
but this is my place-right here among
these books. which are my friends
And these here on the desk" -pointing
to a score Of fine volumes-"are what
I may call my most intimate friends"
Father Darcy got up and examined
one of them. when a broad grin spread
over his good natured face.
"Well it's glad | am to see that you
never cut your intimate friends!' he
exclaimed

door. through which the old house

there. AS an example Of the rarity OF
