Russen Harrfron;s Debf.

It is claimed that the chief debt
Of Russell B. Harrison to his father,
all Of which was RENTED in the will,
consisted of the amoun expended in
fitting HIM out for service during the
Spanish-American war. General Har-
rison wished to present his son with
equipment, hut Russell would not ac-
oopt It save as a loan. That loan was
never repaid and that is the debt
which was RENTED in the will.
The bequest Of General Harrison of
his sash and sword to any posthumous
sor that might be born is said by this
friend Of the former president to be
due to his desire to have these en-
blems of his military service descend
to a member of the family bearing his
full name. 1t appears that when Rus
sell B. Harrison's son was born he
and his father disagreed as to the
name the boy should nave. The for
mer president wished and urged that
he be given the name of Benjamin.
Russell would not agree to this, but
gave the boy the name Of William
Henry Harrison, the name Of his dis
tinguished great-grandfather. The
sash and sword will in all probability,
descend under the provisions Of the

There is nothing new in the recent

Paris showing that lower grades Of
living creatures If alcoholized are more
sensitive to disease than others Of
temperate habits. Alcoholized animals
are unable to resist infection with the

proved so weak that they live but a
short time or are born dead.

oroubIe sOifb VenezueIa.

Venezuela has been Independent for
eighty years. During that period it
has nominally been a republic. The
different constitutions it has had have
recognized the principles of free, dem
ocratic government as completely as
does that of the United States, which
was taken as a model. Nevertheless,
Venezuela is not yet a genuine repub-
lie. 1t has not yet free institutions.
except on paper. 1t is not ruled by
laws, but by a despot. While the ac-
count Of the existing condition of at
fairs in Venezuela printed in the New
York Tribune last week may not be
correct in all it's details, it is correct
as to the main points. Eighteen
months ago Cipriano Castro headed a
revolutionary movement, drove out
President Andrade. and installed him
self as dictator. There is a congress.
but it is made up of men chosen by
the dictator. There are judges, but if
their decisions do not suit him, he
throws them into prison and keeps
them there until they admit they were
quite mistaken as to the law. All Of
ficials hold their places only so long
as the dictator does not distrust them,
Those whom he suspects he removes,
and sometimes imprisons. During his
first month of power the dictator had
a number Of wealthy bankers and
merchants brought before him and as
sessed them from $2O,O to $50, 900
apiece for the support of his govern
ment.

To Confound the Wise Men.

To Compound - WfEe Men.
On April J., 1851, an April Fool party
was given at Newburg, N. Y. Among
the guests were Edward Watkins and
a young woman whom he had known
for a year or two. It happened also
that 1t was Mr.. Watkins t%wenty-frst
birthday. AS he finished a dance with
the young woman in question some
friends began to banter him and pro-
posed that the couple should get mar
ried then and there as a sort Of April
Fool Joke on themselves and the rest
of the world. They were willing, a
minister was sent for, and the marriage
ceremony was performed. MI. Wat
kins took his bride home, and all the
village gossips predicted that they
would be unhappy and would loon
separate. BY way OF ~confounding their
critics, almost all of whom are dead,
Mr.. and Mrs. Watkins celebrated the
iftieth anniversary of their wedding
on April 1, 1901, at their home in
Williamsport, Pa. Their four children
and a number Of grandchildren met
with them to help in the celebration.
Mr.. and Mrs. Watkins joined the Bap-
list church seven years after they were
married.

Wells and Mr.. Francis have known
each other almost from boyhood, and
have similar opinions as to what con-

Wells is taken as having a national
significance, the more so when 1t Is

new mayor is the head of a steel foun-

due. not alone to his strong backing,

According to the law. al alien who
goes from this country to Europe and
returns must be inspected and passed
upon as rigidly as a new immigrant.
When the Germanic arrived at New
York the other day it had on board a
w%eii-to-do Philadelphia merchant, AL
bert Priestman. who had been abroad
to buy goods. Though Mr.. Priestman
has lived in Philadelphia fifteen years,
has married an American wife and IS
the father of several children born in
this country, he has not taken advan-
tage of the opportunity to become a
citizen of the United States, not car
ing to relieve himself of allegiance to
the British crown. Accordingly ne
was inspected to see whether he was
liable to become a public charge and
hence should not be allowed to enter
the country. The official of the ma
rine hospital service who examined
him discovered that he had an arti-
fetal left arm, and though Mr.. Priest
man brought proof of his business
standing and showed the officials 4 GER
titled check for $40, 900, they insisted
that he must be detained on Ellis is
land for examination and investiga-
ton. In vain did Mr.. Prlestman pro-
test that he had been across the ocean
a dozen times before with this same
artificial arm, Oh that he would fur
nish bonds for his appearance. Finally
he was paroled over night in custody
Of the superintendent of the steamship
line. and the next morning he was
compelled to undergo an examination.

.sweatinc" Bees.

The process known as sweating" Is
applied to bees by some up to date
keepers.
The natural tendency of the bee to
work and its great dislike to idleness
are made use of to the fullest extent.
Honey is a product that yields good
flowers as near as may be to the hive
and induces his insect gatherers to
work hard to collect the honey from
them.
An expert beekeeper gives the fol-
lowing idea of what they will do. Sew
enty-five acres of land planted with
white clover or sanfoin will keep 100
hives busy during the three summer
months. The yield of honey for each
fine day is ten pounds per acre. and as
the plant flowers twice and remains In
bloom for week very often the total
yield is 10000 pounds.
Combmaking is lighter and less dan
gerous work than gathering honey. so
the young bees usually perform this
task. But the keeper wants them all
to work and work hard. so he provides
the base of the comb in natural size
and pure wax. That leaves less work
to be done at home. and the bees so
out Immediately there is nothing more
for them to do inside. The keeper also
takes care to constantly empty the
combs, so that the bees shall always
be laboring to fill it.-London Stand

much toll for him to make living. He
declared that he would rather be buried

they were doing so. On being told that

The start of the whole matter was
the lodging of complaint at Scotland
Yard by a well known jeweler doing
business on the Strand. He had miss
ed two diamond rings from tray he
had been exhibiting to several lady GUS
toners. but unfortunately for him the
gems had been gone an hour perhaps
before he knew that deft fingers had
purloined them under his very eyes.
He could recall the names of four or
five ladies. and he headed the list with
the name of marquis wife, but the
inspector on duty might well smile and
turn away at that. Had the jeweler
not been in such perturbed state Of
mind he would never have included
that name. Indeed. before he left the
place he apologized. partly to himself,
for having given any names at all, as
1t was utterly absurd to suspect any Of
