A singular battle was witnessed
recently in an English apiary. A hive
of bees was besieged by a large swarm
of wasps. The bees made valiant sor-
Ties to tryto drive away the besieg-
ers, and the wasps made furious as
saults to drive out the bees. The
battle ragged for two days, at the end
of which time the bees evacuated
the hive and the wasps took posses
sion. They are now the undisputed
masters of the hive, and are reveling
in the store of twenty pounds of
honey which the bees had gathered
there.

There is a market for spiders. The
insects are sold by the hundreds the
prices ranging from so cents to rs
cents, and the buyers are small firms
of wine merchants. These merchants
stock their cellars with new, freshly
labeled wine, sprinkle dust upon the
bins and admit the spiders, who
weave their wei" from cork to cork.
The cobwebs naturally lead the aus
toners to believe that the wine has
been stored for years, and higher
prices are obtained.

The average income of a physician in

three New York physicians are said to

higher than in Chicago or in other Amer

the city perhaps 81, 200 and in the country
certainly not more than $500 yearly.

The naval stores marked is at present

fact that prices are yielding at a rapid

cines unless the downward tendency is

There was no change in the cotton mar
ket. The fact that spot prices in New
Orleans are higher than in Savannah at
present, and also higher there than at
New York, is attracting some cotton to
that market, which is said to be used
in covering contracts. The official bust
ness reported was light. 1t is not under
stood that exporters are yet in position
to meet the prices asked by holders of
interior cotton, and for that reason I. o.
h. business is also light. The wholesale
markets were steady. with no changes of
consequence reported. The following re-
sumo of the different markets will show
the tone and quotations at the close to-

To Fight Orange Pests.

An orange growers convention has been
called to meet at Clearwater on Thurs
day. 1t is for the purpose of forming an
association in the county of Hillsboro and
making a determined and organized fight
on the pests which are now appearing in
certain sections. These insects and all
ments are doing some damage, and it is
feared that if something is not done the
results will be disastrous. 1t has been
deemed wise to call this convention so
that all growers can get together and state
their experience Some of the leading
residents of the west coast have Joined
in signing the call, and there is every in
dication that there will be a large num-
her present. The scales have appeared on
the west coast more than in any other
section of the county but it is feared
that they will be in every grove after a
time, unless some organized method is
taken up whereby they may be stamped
out effectualiy.

Colored Voters of Dodge.

Eastman Times-Journal: The indica-
tons now are that the colored voters of
Dodge county will have very little TO do
with the local option election 20 be held
on the first of August. 1t seems they are
offended with the white people on account
of the primary elections for state and
county officers, and for that reason. do
not intend TO vote in the local option cleo
ton. AT first, their idea seemed TO spite
the white prohibitionists by voting for the
sale of whiskey, but finding that the white
prohibitionists are no more responsible
for getting up the primary election than
she white anti-prohibitionists it seems
that the colored voters have concluded
to hands off, and give the local option
election the cold shoulder by not voting
a all, either for or against the sale, and
to thus spite the white voters on both
sides In that election.

Sugar in the Human system

From the Catholic World.
Sugar is substance that dissoves east

When in solution IL easily passes tbrouob
an animal membrance by osmosis, and so
the question Of its absorption seemed sim
pie enough. The disease diabetes showed
however. that sugar might exist very
plentifully in the blood and yet the nutri
ton of an individual suffer very much
for the lack of it. Something else beside
its mere presence in the system was ne
cessary to secure its consumption by the
tissues. Bernard thought that the liver
was active in the consumption of sugar,
and that disease of this organ caused dia-
bctes. He therefore secured some of the
blood going TO the liver of living ami
mai and some of the blood thar was lust
leaving II. To his surprise. the blood leav-
ing the liver contained more sugar than
THAI entering II. After assuring himself
that his observations were correct. he
tried his experiments in different WAYS
He found that even in the blood leaving

only on substances containing no sugar.
sugar could be demonstrated Even I'm a
fasting animal the liver itself and the
blood leaving il showed the presence Of
a form of sugar. The only possible con-
cluslon from this was that the liver was
capable of manufacturing this form of
sugar out Of non-sugar-containing mater

animal

Columbus Enquirer Sun: The Columbus
cotton mills are not directly affected by
the disturbances in China, but indirectly
they are interested in conditions in the an
cient empire. The cotton mills already in
operation do not make brown goods, the
kind exported to China, their products be-
ing confined TO colored goods The new
mills OF the Columbus Manufacturing Com
pany will make brown goods however,
and thus that enterprise would be affected.
The brown goods trade with China now
amounts to ten or twelve millions annually
and while it is yet in its infancy, quite a
snug little sum is already derived from it,
In view of the disturbed conditions in Chi
ma some of the brown goods mills are
thinking of changing TO colored goods. and
