CASTOR F A.
A Battle of the Bees.

From the Ladies' Home Journal.
 One colony of wild honey bees less than a mile away had survived the famine of the previous summer and in July, made desperate by lack of forage, certain of their wanderers discovered by hire, and succeeded in sneaking by the sentries and in getting away again with honey bags filled with plumber undetected. Return ing later withothers of their tribe they were discovered and driven off. But the whole colony of forest dwellers were now eager for booty and came in overpowering force. I narrowed the entrance to the hive and my bees defended 1t valiantly; the fighting was fierce until long after dark. and iii the morning it was again renewed, and finally the defendants were defeated with heavy losses. The survi- vors were compelled to go into bondage and assist their victors to carry away the captured honey to the woods, and be- fore the midsummer sun was half way up the sky the hive stood silent and deserted, save for few loitering pilferers crawling about the torn and empty combs, search ing among the dead for last drop of honey. The queen, I presume. must have been killed, for she certainly would never have consented to accompany the enemy with the other prisoners. Yet I was una ble to find her among the dead, and be- lieve that she died fighting in the open and dropped into the grass.

WOULDN'T SELL IT. Her Pure and Clear Complexion No,
 For Sale.

A Cornell girl was put on Grape-Nuts diet and discovered some facts. She says: While student at Cornell I suffered from improper diet The ban quets and other social functions-with their rich refreshments-served to com pletely upset a stomach already weak from rich pastry, highly seasoned meats, and confections furnished by loving par ents at home.
 T became irritable, nervous and my ap- petite became more and more capricious Only rich, highly seasoned food suited me, and this further wrecked my health was sallow, having lost my pink and white. complexion. I became dull eyed and dull brained, the victim of agonizing dyspepsia and intestinal trouble.
 'I was finally forced to leave school and come home an irritable. wretchedly sick girl. The plainest food disagreed with me, and I bade fair to starve to death, when a physician advised my physician to put me on Grape-Nuts Food diet Tc to put me on Grape-Nuts Food diet. To make long story short. the transformation from wretched i'll health to good health was marvellous. liked the new food so well. and 1t agreed with my tortured stomach perfectly, regulated my bowels my headaches left. and the color of the skin gradually grew better. In eight months I found myself rosy. plump and strong.
 'T would not sell my clear complexion, bright eyes and general good feeling for the costliest, richest mess of Delmonican pottage.
 'I returned to Cornell, finished my course, and can now study, think and live. The food that enabled me to re- gain my health shall never forget" Name furnished by Postum Cereal Co.,, Ltd, at Battle Creek, Mich.

sINesoNe TONGUE OF CHINA.
Words Acquire Different significatlons
 From Varying Pitch.
From the Musical Record.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA.

From the Musical Record
 MT. Bison. writing of Chinese vocal music. says that the voice in China is trained to much flexibility by the exig- encies Of the language. The Chinese is in one sense the most musical of lan- guages, as word acquires half a dozen different significations according to the pitch or infection with which it is pro- nounced.
 A spoken word in the Chinese language has different meaning according to the infection with which 1t is pronounced. The number of words Is small, the ideas that may be conveyed by them are many. Thus foreigners are led into endless com plications and misunderstanding; for example, the word tchu, pronounced means master" but by extending the vowel a trif1e it signifies 'fhog'; 1t also means column and cookery
 The syllable "po" has eleven different meanings = glass boil Captive" prepare" and so forth, each of which must be pronounced with a different pitch and infection.
 Among the original words are some which decidedly are tken from nature, such as ''tchung' ''bell;'' "miau." "cat:" but these are very few.
 Some authors have endeavored to show from these facts that the Chinese Is in all respects a musical language; but this can hardly be conceded. for the infections spoken of are so slight as to escape the European ear, which surely would not be the case of they were really musical notes. It Is well known that Father Periere, in the last century, was able to note down at first hearing and initiate any Chinese.

 These made the total movement for the 266 days of thesea son from September 1 to May 24, inclusive. 9.616,s29 against B. 770,37 last year; 1076S, 460 year before last, and 10,S11,26S same time in 1898.
 The movement since September shows receipts at all United States ports 7,053.- 366 against (, 032 last year; 8, ,197, ,066 year before last and s475, ,419 same time in 1898; overland across the Mississippi, Ohio and Potomac rivers to Northern mills and Canada 1,015, ,7S3, against 1.122,618 last year: 1.226.213 year before last and 1,166367 same Al. l-. t~A l.. q those held at the close of the commercial year 355,O49 against 71,3N decrease under September 1 last year; an increase of 255, ,126 over year before last and of 165 549 same time in 1898; Southern mill takings 1,192,631 against 1,250055 last year, 1.09O055 year before last and 1,003, ,033 same time in 1898.

again exceeded the 100000 cases mark. and the total for the season is now nearly 5000 cases ahead Of last year.
 Leather finds ready purchasers among manufacturers east and west, and stocks do not accumulate. Sole leather prices are at full quotations, which show a sub stantial advance over some time ago. while upper leather is firm. Hides are steady at the west, but easier in eastern markets.
 Such unanimity as to good crop re- ports has rarely been seen at this period of the year. Much was made in specula- tive grain circles of dry weather at the northwest, but recent rains have placed that section in very favorable condi- ton as regards the spring wheat. From the winter wheat belt reports continue very optimistic, especially favorable ad- vices being received from Kansas, which promises yield of 1o0,0OO,OO0 bushels, and the only anxiety experienced is for a sufficient supply of labor to harvest the enormous crop. Recent rains. while re- tarding retail trade, have helped the corn and cotton crops.
 The feature of the week in textiles is a perceptible improvement in the tone of most cotton goods which are in rather better demand at large in eastern markets. Some coarse textures, of course, do not apply to the finer grade situation, but they, too, show improvement.
 Export shipments of cotton goods are heavy, although new business is lighter. Raw cotton goods are heavy and frac- tion higher on the week, but outside in- terest is still small and the fear of a corner In July deters operations in that and other old crop months There is more doing in new wool at all markets and manufacturers remain hopeful, al- though new demand for goods is still dis appointing Especially good advices come from wholesalers and jobbers in silks and the raw silk market tends high CT on better demand
 Wheat. including flour shipments for the week aggregated 4.796,0s4 bushels against 3,9S4968 bushels in the correspond ing week of 1900; 3,19S,319 in 1899, and A. 309, 133 bushels in 1S9S
 From July to date this season wheat exports are 190, 04s 662 bushels against 178.- 393. 766 bushels last season. and 209 ,S93, 175 bushels in 1S9S-99.
 Corn exports for the week aggregate 2.204,902 bushels. against 2.704.594 bushels last week, 4.374 145 bushels in this week a year ago, 3,S45, ,,S1S bushels in 1899 and G. 164, ,451 in 1898.
 From July l to date this season corn exports are 163,574,733 bushels against 1885, 653,354 bushels last season.

BRADsTREET's REVIEW.

NeW Iork May A.-BradStreetS to- morrow will say:
 The general situation is still largely a favorable one, the primary encouraging feature being the fine outlook for the country's crop. General distribution. re- tarded hitherto by the backward spring, has been stimulated by warm sunny weather Industrial conditions head The list of distributing features but confidence in conservatism and good council is wide- spread and the effect upon general busi- ness exerted by the largest number of men idle for several years past has been apparently minimized.
 Reports as to quiet trade in iron and steel come from the East where demand for pig iron Is of a hand to mouth char acter. No special activity Is looked for, however, In this branch because large consumers are well supplied. Indeed, Pittsburg furnaces are booked we'll for July. The demand for finished products Is as heavy as ever, structural materials, bars and plates being in especially good demand with premiums paid for quick de- livery and large new business not ac- cepted because of the inability of manu- lecturers to promise immediate shipment. The only accumulation noted in pig Iron Is in the lower foundry grades and this is especially notable as regards the South ern product Good reports come from the Western hardware trade. the demand in building lines for barbed wire fencing being especially active with prices we'll held. Anthracite coal notes much strength and demand Is good, lower prices in the future being apparently out of the ques- ton.
