MUNICIPAL Fl4nfS.
The only question to be considered
10 the establishment Of a city plant
for lighting the streets and city build
ings is that Of cheapness to the CITY.
1t is contrary to human nature and
{" experience to expect that a super
intendent appointed by the mayor
or elected by the citizens will manage
the plant as economically as though
the expenses and profits were his ex-
penses and profits. Not for many
thousand years when politicians shall
have attained more sublimated

were his own business.

A few years ago newspapers we're

Of the tameness of the bees, their in
dustry and honey-making propen-
sities have already Influenced a large
number OF people TO engage in the
industry. 1t appears that there are
bees Of wild, blood-thirsty tempera-
ment, who can not be tanned. The
'CarniOlans" are gentle, unsuspicious,
and do not sting unless very roughly
handled or imposed upon. They were
introduced into this country years
ago from Carniola, Austria, and their
popularity is growing induced by
their amiable disposition, fecundity.

that they may be handled with the

Here end the acts of st. Patrick
These are the words Of JoceliD. the
Cistercian monk OF Furnes, who fIour.
ished in the early part of the twelfth
century. They are from the transla-
tion Of his life Of the patron saint Of
Ireland. which was published in Duh
lin one hundred years ago.
According to Jocelin, st. Patrick was
the son nf good Briton named Cal
phurnius. who lived near the Irish
sea. Before the boy was well on in
his teens he had built a bonfire Of
cakes Of Ice, had healed a blind man
and had raised his nurses husband
from the dead. At the age Of sixteen
Patrick was carried of to Ireland by
pirates and sold to the pagan Prince
Milcho. He was released through the
agency Of an angel, who revealed to
him where he might find gold for
ransom. Therefore" says Jocelin.
being by the aid Of Mammon released
from his seryitude, he started home.
ward" The saint was not yet out Of
the woods, however. He tell into the
hands Of an evil man who sold him
into slavery for kettle. "How small
purchase for 90 precious a merchan.
disc" comments the devOut monk.
But the Kettle proved obstreperous.
Water froze in it instead Of boiling,
so the new owner traded back, and
Patrick finally reached home He
had not been there long before he
heard in a vision the voice Of gener-
ations of Irish yet unborn calling:
''Oh, holy youth Patrick, We beSeech
thee come unto US" In obedience to
this vision the young man went to
France TO be trained in theology, and
thence to Rome. whence Pope Cees-
tine sent him to Ireland.
The conversion Of the Irish was 40
holiday task. and the saint went at it
in earnest. If the people treated him
courteously and accepted his teach
ings. all well and good. But he al
lowed no trifling. Soon after he land.
ed, some pagan fishermen refused him
fish which they had caught il river.
"Whereat.' cries Jocelin, "the saint
being displeased, pronounced on them
this sentence. even his maledictiOns.
that the river should no longer pro
duce fishes from the abundance Of
which idolaters might send empty
away the worshippers Of the true
God"
The monk describes with much
pleasure the visit of the saint to the
"Infidel Murinus" of Castle Cnoc.
When the missionary tried to convert
him the ungrateful man pretended to
be asleep. Let him sleep, let him
Sleep" quoth st. Patrick, ''nOr until
the Day of Judgment let him awaken

man sunk into the sleep Of death.
Therefore, even to this day, it IS
among the Irish frequent impreca-
tion on a feigned sleeper, 'maTe>t

An interesting story is going con-
cerning the new West Virginia. coal
road, the West Virginia Short Line. 1t
will be remembered that this line was
recently opened from Clarksburg up to
New Martinsville. where it connects
with the Ohio River Railroad. The B.
G. o. opposed this property for long
time, when hostilities suddenly ceased.
1t is believed in many quarters that the
new line is really, by recent acquisi-
ton, Baltimore & Ohio property, and
that the intention is to run the coal
up to Moundsville or Wheeling over
the Ohio River Railroad. where event
ually connection will be made with
the Wheeling, Alliance & Lake Erie.
This would give the Baltimore & Ohio
two coal lines in the West Virginia
fields, 'one of which would be develop
ing new territory altogether This
report is not generally credited, al
though it has footing in well-inform-
ed circles Another report had it that
the new line was in reality Wheeling
& Lake Erie project, and has some
thing to do with the intention of that
line to build the Adena Railroad down
to Bellaire. This report lacks sub
stantiation.-Scioto Gazette.
