WoIseIey Attacks British system.

London, March 5.-In the house of
lords yesterday Lord Wolseley, for
merly commander-in-chie of the Brit
ish forces, for nearly three hours at
tackled the military system of Great
Britain in carefully written speech.
His complaint was that the com
mander-in-chief was robbed of his
chief usefulness. He had to hand
over the command and entire manage
ment of the army to a civilian secre-
tary of state assisted by subordinates.

Judge ElDIlUS6 f1du6Cy, I6pubuGdu
nominee for mayor of Chicago, was
born in the Wisconsin town of Tren-
ton, forty-nine years ago, and was
educated in the public schools and the
University of Wisconsin. He went to
Chicago in 1866 and was admitted to
the bar six years thereafter. He is
now g circuit Judge.
DR.. William NJ. w Dawson, former
~ president Of the National Medical
college in Chicago, died at the home
of his mother, Mrs. Andrew Dawson,
in Kenosha, late Saturday. His death
is attributed to blood poisoning, con-
tracted while performing a surgical
operation.
Dr. Dawson had been in Kenosha
for the last three weeks. Feb. 10 he
left his residence in Chicago, for the
purpose of going to drug store to
secure a postage stamp, and this was
the last seen of him until he appeared
at the home Of his mother Since that
time he was confined to his room, and
unable to give any account of him
self or the manner in which he
reached Kenosha. The police of Chi
cagO searched for him for several
days, and finally his wife managed to
locate him in that city. Dr. Dawson
was born in Kenosha Aug. %, 1849.
His bOyhood days were spent on the
farm, and when he was 20 years of
age he removed to Kenosha. In
1874 he went to work in the factories
of the city, and gave his spare time to
the study Of medicine with DR.. n A.
PennOyer, proprietor Of the Pennoyer
sanitarium. Later he entered the
HahDemann Medical college Of Chi
cagO, from which he graduated with
high honoTs in 1878 After his gradu-
alton he remained at Hahnemann col
lege for short tine as an instructor
in physiology. Dr. Dawson went to
TeXarkana, Ark, to begin the practice
Of medicine. While there he was mar
red to Mrs. Hattie Brown, who died
within year. After travelling through
the west DR.. Dawson returned to Chi
cago, and worked up a lucrative prac-
tice. Among the survivors are the
mother, Mrs. Andrew Dawson; a sis
ter, Miss Ida G. Dawson of Kenosha;
Mrs. Hannah Dawson of Chicago, and
Mrs. M. D. Bradford, who is one Of the
leading educators of Wisconsin.

WHAT IS A NUISANCE?

In New York they are try.
ing to decide what constitutes
a nuisance, whether or not a
dog, a parrot or the neighbours
chickens should be so termed.
In North Carolina we have
what is termed the "chicken
law and the town of Concord
is rejoicing over the first con.
viction under that law, it
having been decided that is
a misdemeanor to allow your
chickens to trespass on your
neighbours property.
In Southern Pines we have
no trouble to find a nuisance,
according to individual be-
liefs, but there seems to be
no remedy or relief from a
legal standpoint.
A friend, a citizen wanted
to know if the editor could
kick about stock running at
large and spelling his flowers,
eating up his potatoes, peas
and other garden truck. Of
course we can make a noise
about such things, but what
good does it do? We have on
the books a law forbidding
cattle running at large, but
it will require some time to
enforce it. and some of us
with less patience than others
begin to feel as if it will new.
er be enforced, therefore, we
shall have to fence in the
town as a remedy. Wouldn't
this be a good idea?
Many of us feel interested
in the solution of a nuisance
in New York, as the dog, the
pig, the COW, the chicken,
and all others except the par.
rot, sometimes worry people
who never lived in New York.

bushes house, and of one in the hear
 of Cincinnati, whose 40 colonies produce annually about 1000 pounds of honey
 These industrious little insects VII
 travel a distance of several miles ant
 gather honey all the day, not only from levery opening flower, but also from trees, shrubs and even weeds, which
 one would hardly associate with sc
 delicate a product. Golden-rod and
 asters often give large yield in the
 late fall, after all other honey plants fail. Any woman, therefore, who lives | within "bee line" of a park may start a tiny agricultural experiment station of ] her own, and, if she Is lucky, may pro- l vide honey for her family and no in- | considerable entertainment for herself. | To begin with, one needs a good book | about bees, then hive of good bees, a veil. gloves and smoker, all of which | may be obtained at any bee supply store. The rest is all experience The danger from stinging Is greatly exag- l gerated. An apiarist who understands his bees as a jockey does his horse has little to fear. In fine weather when
 gold is pouring into the coffers of the
 hive, the bees are usually in good tenn per, and may be approached with i'm punity. In wet weather, however when work is at standstill and the bees are forced to loaf about the hive, they are apt to be ill., tempered and quarrelsome,
 and it is the part of prudence to keep at distance till sunshine and the con- sequent wave of properity restores har- mony. When they aye angry the hum of the bees takes a high, omnous note,
 which an experienced bee-keeper recog- nizes at once and respects.
 Comb honey sells for 12 or 13 cents a pound wholesale, and five cents pound more at retail, while extracted honey is several cents a pound cheaper This is accounted for by the fact that it takes a great deal of honey to make very lit- tie comb. A bees makes wax by gorg- ing herself with honey and hanging her. self to the top of the hive until tiny scales of wax form on her body. The bee-keeper simply uncaps the honey combs. extracts the honey and returns the empty comb to the hive, leaving the bees free to store away honey in- stead of manufacturing comb.
 An entire bee outfit costs from $6 to $10, and if one were to have the worst possible luck the loss of all the bees, $2 or $3 would replace them, while an unusually good season might show enough surplus honey to pay the entire first cost. By beginning In very small way and making haste slowly one runs but little risk, and the venture may prove very profitable.
 A deaf and dumb woman in New York state, debarred from most other opportunities of earning living, bought a hive of bees some years ago | to try her fortune. She is now sue cessful bee-keeper, with large apiary | and a very snug income. Whether api- | culture is taken up for food or for fad, 1t has much to recommend it as an oc- | cupation or recreation for women.- Washington Star.

KEEPING BEES IN THE CITY.
Modern Progress Exhibited in (

Modern Progress / Exhibited in an
 Apiary on Top of Business House. | The scriptures assure us at divers 1 times and In sundry places that honey | Is wholesome and pleasant food, and
 an ancient dietetic dogmatist who lived
 in the wise old days of Plato and So-
 crates went further and declared that
 olive oil for the exterior and honey
 for the interior decoration of the hu-
 man form divine covered the whole philosophy of physical well being. The tiny insects, scarcely bigger than flies, who make this deectable sweet have from time immemorial af- forded a most fascinating study to all
 nature lovers. In the guise of linn
 ited monarchy they maintain an ideal
 republic, and conduct their affairs with marvellous method, which. even in these
 days of patent hives and manufactur- ed comb, awkens as much awe and ad- mira tion as when in the patriarchal times they conducted law-abiding col onies in the carcass of lion
 The new woman should find especial pleasure in keeping bees, for in their communities petticoat government Is supreme. Not only is the highest office filled by one of the gentler sex, but on the approach of winter a sufficiently populous hive will kill off all the unfor- tunate fathers of their country who have dawdled idly through the summer, leaving the colony entirely manless
 For this supremacy in matter of state, however, these Amazons pay the high price of life of unremitting toll. Even the queen has no sinecure, for during the working season she lays daily from 2, 900 to 4,000 eggs It is curious to note moreover, that in spite of the dominat- ing sex, bee affairs are conducted with singular lack of sentimentality, not to say an almost ruthless ma terialism Not only do the workers kill the mas culine droncs 10 safeguard the winter st ores but the queen as well makes wholesale slaughter of all rival queens.
 No less an authority than the United States department of agriculture Is re- sponsible for the statement that bees may be kept profitably even in great crowded cities. One large apiarist an nually moves his bees from the country to Washington, a distance of ten miles, in order to gather in the rich harvest of honey furnished by the linden trees and the shrubs of the city's parks and lawns Indeed, one of the largest yields of honey on record, 43 pounds in three days was obtained entirely from linden trees.

EXTENSIVE KITCHENS.

Royal kitchens invariably are ex- | pensive. The present Czar of Russia
 soon after his accession spent eighty
 thousand pounds in remodeling and | refurnishing the royal Kitchens at the
 winter palace, St Petersburg. All the ! cooking utensils are of solid silver, and include forty stewing pans, none of
 which could be purchased under as l many pounds. The spice boxes are of I arms, and the ranges and ovens are
 edged with silver. The actual cost of i rebuilding the kitchens was thirty ] thousand pounds, the purest black
 marble being used throughout, and the decorations were responsible for an
 outlay of five thousand pounds. Among the cooking utensils should be
 mentioned three thousand silver spoon
 and gold gridiron that belonged to the
 great Catharine. The chief cook draws
 a salary of eight thousand pounds a
 year, and he has six subordinates in re-
 ceipt of salaries ranging between one
 thousand and fifteen hundred pounds,
 to say nothing of hundreds of supernu-
 meraries. Altogether the Czar's kitch-
 en expenses amount to one hundred
 and twenty thousand pounds per an- mum.
 The next most costly kitchen belongs to the Spanish court the cooking uten- sils alone having a face value of nearly fifteen thousand pounds They are of great age. The Shah of Persias kitch- en in Teheran is however, the most valuable kitchen in the world. Even the cooking pots are lined with gold and the plates and dishes used at the royal table are of solid gold, incrusted with precious stones. If it were possi- ble for the contents of the Shah's kitch- en to be put up for auction they would realize more than one million pounds.
 King Edward VII.'s kitchen in Wind- sor contains nearly two thousand pounds worth of silver and silverpla- ted utensils. George II. expended ten thousand pounds upon the fittings, which are mostly of black oak, and, apart from their historical interest, have greatly increased in value.

The copper utensils alone are valued at one thousand pounds, while silverplated stewpans at twenty pounds each, spice boxes and other culinary implements account for three thousand pounds.
 Lord Shrewbury's kitchen cost three thousand pounds in fittings alone, eve rything, even to the ranges, being cov- cred with silver plate.

order of things provides for such dis
 tribution of course. However great the number of natives admitted to a share of responsibility in governing the islands, it Is certain that for many years to come their doings will have to be watched and their work superin- tended by high priced and expensive American officials. There is to-day in- deed, not single Filipino in position which would permit him to yield to a temptation of exploiting his office finan- cially or to indulge predatory habits acquired by association with Spanish officials. But all this has to be paid A.c, and it is a serious question wheth- CT the native is willing to do It. In the long run, no doubt, he may become rec onciled to a system of the merits of which he Is now not altogether con- vinced in his own mind. It is prob- ably true, also, that actual experience is the only school in which he can be made to learn. If you wish to acquire a knowledge of the game of poker am told, there Is nothing like paying for it. But even then the result is some- times uncertain. So my friends at least inform me. Similar uncertainties surround the present experiment of in- ducing the native into the mysteries of self government. Let us hope 1t may succeed. In the meantime 1t will do no harm constantly to bear In mind what Ramon Reyes Lala says of his coun- trymen: "They are easily awed by demonstration of superior force, and ruled best by mild and firm coercion, based upon justice.
