The Pie Eaters.

Pie in New England is served in
many queer ways, especially the king
Of all pies, the royal mince. Not long
ago there appeared sign in the station
Of staid, crooked and correct Boston-a
sign bearing the strange device, "Hot
Mince Pie and Ice Cream"
This is mild combination compared
with one that was served In this city
at midnight supper. A Welsh rab-
bit was being made, and there were
some who did not care to eat it on
crackers; no toast in the house, for it
was the fires evening out. A mince
pie was found lurking in the ice chest
and pressed into service. The rabbit
was spread over the pie, and both van
ished in a short time. Those who ate
are still afraid in the dark, for they
can imagine that the same things are
coming for them again as came during
their dreams Of that wild, weird night.
A local minister tells a pie story on
himself that Is q ''corker." He is a
delicate man, and his wife was down
on pie for him and vetoed it for fami-
ly use. Once he went to a convention
In Pittsfield, and dinner was served
at which there were seven kinds of
pie. The minister. took a 'little Of
each, please" and never enjoyed him.

why Bees Work In Darkness.

Bees go out all day gathering honey
and work at night in the hive, building
their combs as perfectly as If an cleo
tric light shone there all the time.
Why do they prefer to work in the
dark? is often asked. Every one knows
that honey is a liquid with no solid
sugar in it. After standing it gradual
ly assumes crystalline appearance
or granulates and ultimately becomes
solid mass. ar-G .Sss :y''.. .,
4 Honey has been experimentally in
closed in well corked tasks, some of
which were kept in perfect darkness,
while the others were exposed to the
light. The result was that the portion
exposed to the light soon crystallized,
while that kept in the dark remained
unchanged. T, p s.., r.. q. ,~. - .
Hence we see why the bees are SO
careful to obscure the glass windows
which are placed in, their hives. The
existence Of the young depends on the
uquidity Of the saccharine food pre-
sented to them, and Ii light were allow
ed access to this it would In all prob
ability prove fatal to the inmates of
the hive-W Weekly Bouquet a7

FARGO CONSUMES ]

MUCH AND VARIED LIQUID RE
d FREsIHMBNT DURING THE FTRE
q FESTIVAL. /; Nv is35 l2.: , " vs. #. ,, ,. ~. "
WI jamestown Alert: Fire festival Wis
itors say that the amount of liquid re-
freshments consumed in Fargo during
the last few days was unprecedented.
Many have. wondered why Fargo fav-
ored the prohibition law. 1t is per-
fectly plain now. In Fargo hotels, all
can, get beer and liquors from Moor
head who call for it. The city is
growing at the expense of the western
towns of the state and owing to the
prohibition law, Certainly Fargo wants
the prohibition law enforced in the
central and western portions of the
state only, and this helps to bring
crowds to the city on special and other
times. The fire festival is a good deal
OF fake, helped out by reduced rates
on the railroads. This gets the crowds
together and, with the assistance Of
| Moorhead enables them to see all
sorts of things impossible to the anti
booze, towns west of the Red river. s,
There is not as much real prohibi
tion sentiment in Fargo as there is in
Jamestown, and the presence Of Moor
head saloons gives the Fargo prohibi-
Zionist a chance to say that nothing
can be done there to enforce the law
but it must be. enforced in the western
parts of the state .szs .-.. y.
4 Fargo is growing because people who
have money to spend can 60 there and
I spend it in their own way. OF course
Fargo is for the maintenance OF the
! prohibition law in this state as long
as Minnesota has license and Fargo
Grand Forks, Wahpeton and othel
North Dakota towns are so close tt
the license state of Minnesota. The
i law does a great injustice to othe1
towns in North Dakota, where it il
obeyed, and occasions like the one re
1 ferred to show the forcical character
4 Of the law, as far as its enforcement
| goes, in a most glaring way. II.

Jamestown, June 1O.-Miss Ethel
Harkness Of i, Minneawaukan was
brought to the asylum Friday evening
by Sheriff BeaVerstad. The unfor-
tunate young woman was accompanied
here by her mother. Miss Harkness
was indicted not long since by the
United States grand jury on a charge
OF having forged postofice money or
ders. The offense was committed
some months ago and at the time
many thought the young lady's mind
was, affected, as the forgery was of the
most crude order. - -.
Miss Hardness has been confined in
the jail at Devils Lake for a number
of weeks awaiting trial. 1t became
evident that she was demented and al
a hearing before the board of insanity
at Minnewaukan, she was adjudged te
be of unsound mind. =
She is said to be the oldest of a big
family who are in poor circumstances
She had been teaching school but a
the time the forgery was committed
was out of employment. Constan
brooding over the family's circum
stances is believed to have affected he
mind and caused her to commit tn,
forgery. Proceedings will probabl.
be dropped now =. ,

Washington, June 1O.-H. Clay
Evans, the commissioned of pensions,
has been making study of facts con-
nected with the pension system. He,
concludes that service in the army
promotes health and develops physi-
cal strength. He bases his conclu-
sions on the records of the low death
rate in the field service. He says: !.
There were about 2,7oO,oO0 enlist
4ments during the civil war on the
union side. OF this number the state
department has estimated that 6O00,o0O
were re-enlistments, reducing the mum
ber of individuals who actually saw
service in the war under the old flag
to be about 100000. We figure that
there are still 1,022,41S soldiers of the
war among the states alive, excluding
deserters.
'The estimated number of deaths
during the civil war from wounds, sick
ness or other causes is 359,52S men,
leaving something over 100000 alive
at the close of the war. Since the war,
thirty-ive years ago, but a trif1e over
40 per cent, or 5000 men. have died,
and today the average of the old SOL
diers is over sixty-five years. No
greater evidence of the tenacity of life
among old soldiers need be advanced"
The commissioner further explained
that camp life is always subjected to
the most exaeting regulations. The
soldiers duties are accurately defined
and his diet positively prescribed.
These regulations, as well as the diet.
are the result of years of experiment
and experience With regularity of
| life as to hours of diet, work and
sleep, the result cannot tail to be bene-
fetal.
