Daniel ". Working, secretary of
the Colorado beekeepers' association
is enthusiastic over the probable i'm
portation from the east of the long
tongue honey bee. The majority of
the honey gathered in Colorado is
taken from the blossoms on the alfal-
ia. The bees are unable to secure the
honey found in the petals of the red
clover, because their tongues are not
long enough. The long-tongued bee,
which is bred in the east, can secure
that honey, which is considered of
sweeter and finer quality than that
gathered from the alfalfa.

friend In Detroit: AT present the
general topic of the day is, 'Wnat is
Uncle Sam going to do with the new
white elephant-the 700 school teach
ers recently sent here-he so philan-
throDically or unknowingly saddled
upon himself Without the commits
sary privileges, their salary of SIS a
month doesn't even keep them In
food. They cannot speak Spanish
and never will learn to understand
Tagalog. The general impression is
that it would be cheaper for Uncle
Sam to transport all the Filipinos to
the United States to learn the Ian
guage there, than to attempt the
schoolma'am scheme. They have
only been here two weeks and have
raised more pow-wow and disturb
ance than the whole army did during
the palmy days of the insurrection.
Since leaving the United States about
100 of them have been married, and
the remaining 600 are busying them
selves day and night to get into the
matrimonial band wagon, the wheels
of which never cease turning, even in
the Philippines.
