One colony ot wild Money bees, less
than Z mils away. had survived the
famine of the previous summer, and
in July, made desperate by lack Of
forage. certain OF their wanderers dis
covered my hive. and succeeded in
sneaking by the sentries and getting
away with honey bags filed with
plumber nndetected, writes William
Everett Cram. of Ny FIRST Celony
of Bees" in Ladies'. Home journal.
Returning later vita others Of their
tribe they were discovered and driven
on. But the whole eaiouy Of for~st
dwelers was now eAsvr for booty and
came in oyerpoweriny force mar
rowed Mt entrance to the hive, and
my bees defended it valiantly; the
fighting was fierce until long after
dark, and in the morning il was again
renewed. and finally tfe defendants
were defeated with heavy losses. The
survivors were compelled to go into
bondage and assist theif yiesors to
carry away the captu1sd honey TO the
woods, and before the nids su.nmcr
sun was half way up the sky the hive
, stood silent and Deserted. save for
few lettering pilterers crawling
about the torn and empty combs,
searching among the dead for last
drop of honey. The queen. I presume.
must have been killed. for she GER
tainly would never have conssnted to
accompany the enemy With the other

her among the dead, and believe she

JAPANESE PILGRIMS.
Odd Features Of Their Attire anA
Disting uishinx badges Of
Their Different Parties.

The japanese peasants, when they
get themselves up for the business of
pilgrimage, are the quaintest fig
ures imaginable, says Good Words.
The women generally tuck up their
petticoats well above their knees,
either leaving the legs bare, or else
'wathing them with white bandages,
which form kind of leggins. Their
hair is done in the usual elaborate
Japanese style, and generally an afti-
icial flower is stuck In at the top. 1t
does look so comic to see the wiz
ened face of an old woman with a
large red rose bobbing over it. And
this floral decoration is not confined
to the women; when you meet q par
ty of pilgrims you often see the old
men also with flower stuck coquet-
tishly above the ear, found out
the reason of this rather inappro.
pirate ornamentation when l was at
Nagano. 1t appears that many of the
poor old deans from the country get
so bewildered by the magnificence of
the places they 90 to, and the dis
fractions Of shopping, that they
quite lose their heads. and conse-
quently their way. So the ever
thoughtful Japanese police have in
sisted that every party of pilgrims
is to have Distinguishing badge. At
Nagano il was the commonest thing
possible to see some ancient dame
rushing about wai!ing: "Where is my
party? Where is the purple iris par
ty?" or 'Where is the yelllow-towel-
round-the-neck party2". And then she
would be told that the ,tyellow=towel-
round-the-neck party. was Or it, way

MAYA INDIANS IN EXILI.

frooD&

The former residents OF BacAlar.
state of Yucatan, are rejoicing over
the occupation of that town by the
government troops under command Of
Gen. Vega, says recent report. Many
of these people still! hold title to valua-
BILE property In the Bacalar district,
although they were driven from their
homes by the Maya Indians many
years ago. A large number of these
persons are now residents of British
Honduras and they are already look
ing up their deeds and title prelimi-
nary to reclaiming their properties.
The villa of Bacalar, which was
founded by the Spaniards, has been
besieged various times by the Mayas,
and 1t was only after desperate re-
sistance on the part of Jose Dolores
Zetent that it finally fell into their
hands.
There are still ruins of the ancient
fort and rusty cannon employed in the
last defense against the Indians. The
latter, after taking it, did all in their
power to obstruct navigation. Telling
trees and casting huge powders into
the streams. The waterways have
beqn cleared during the present cam
pafga and there is now communica-
tion between the port Of Zecalak Que
breado, on the coast, and Bacalar. by
means of the bay of Asunscios. the

AN UNUSUAL EXHIBITION.
Extraordinary Partia1 Takes Place
Between Two Aen at . Rail-
way Station. ~>

An elderly man and his strapping son
stood in railway station qpe' day late
ly awaiting a train. fke son was an
athtetio-l2oking chap, who attracted
general attention by his magnificent
proportions, says the Baltimore News.
Apparently he was going west. AT all
events. when his train was called the
lookers-on fairly held their breaths
with surprise, for the younger man put
his arms around the elder one snd
kissed him fairly and s9Nafsly on his
mustached mouth, 1ken he scurried
through the gate, and the last view of
him showed him waving a farewell
from the back PlatfoEM Of the sleep
ing car.
The remarkable thing about this lit
tie scene was that both participants in
II were Americans. One wouldn't have
been surprised at such show of af-
fection if they had been Germans or
Frenchmen or Italians; but it was an
unusual exhibition for practical, un-
sentimental young America to make.
The average native of the United
States, should he return from Darkest
Africa after an absence of ten years,
would shake hands with his fa ther just
as he would with the strange guest
within his gate, and he would ask both
affably to have 9 ciigAr- On the other
hand, his massaiine relatives would
eyMee their interest and affection by
asking him if his boat were on time.
Kissing in American families seems
to be looked upon as foolish cere-
mony performed to propitiate the fem
inine members, and too undignified to
take place between the lords Of ere
alton. There are times. Of course,
when men do not consider osculation
either undignified or foolish : but
that's another story.

vent the spread of the disease or In
some way determine whether or not
the real plague exists, Texas will take
steps to force California to action
Texas does not seem to be alone In
this matter and will be assisted py a
number of western states that are ike
ly to be affected by the existence OF
the plague.
1t is said on good authority that Ut.
Blunt and Governor Sayers will soon
demand the governor and health poard
of California to take some action IN
the matter or put on granite wall
quarantine against that state. The po-
litical differences in California are re-
garded as an unfortunate thing by the
Texas authorities and so far TINS state
has respected the opinions of the two
factions and accepted a compromise
suggested by Texas authorities as the
hest method of treating the case. Now,
however, since the plague has appeared
outside of San Francisco a more de-
termined stand is to be taken by IeXas
and something of complication Is
likely to result.
Whether or not the disease Is pu-
bonic plague, it is thought to be such
by the authorities of Texas, Louisiana,
and Colorado, and they are threatening
to be governed accordingly. 1t Is en-
tirely probable that every train from
California. whether from San Francis
co or any other part of the state, Will
be held up at Ell Paso and neither
freight or passengers be allowed TO en-
ter the state, if the California author
tiles do not Immediately cooperate
with Texas and the other states in pre-
venting the spread of the disease. IL
is still a question whether the disease
is bubonic plague or not but the ma
rine officials state that it is and the
authorities of the other states take
their report as true. Against this the
state of California has fought strongly,
but the disease, whatever 1t may De-
is spreading and the Texas authorities
are now preparing to move.
FL Paso is bound to suffer more than
any other city in the country and
should urge that something be done
Immediately. If all passenger and
freight into this city from the west
is stopped it will be more serious than
can be imagined and it is more than
probable that this will be done in
few DAYS If the governor of California
does not give up the fight and endeavor
to stamp out the disease with the for
eign authorities.

ARE UNCHECKED
British fortresses Are Man.
ned BY Civilians But the
tnemy Has no intention
of Attacking Them

CAPE TOWN Jan. 25.-Despite Lord
Kitchener's scheme to drive all the
Beers out of Cape Colony by deploying
his forces across the country in a
great semi-circle and closing in on the
enemy by concentrated advances, the
Bocr commanders are making progress
in their invasion.
The forces under the Boer leaders
are now spreading throughout the
south of the Colony and coming near
er to Cape Town.
At present they are branching out
through the district to the west of
Kritzinger and are menacing Oudit-
shorn.
All the British forts are well de-
Tended at present and civilians, loyal
to the British cause, are aiding to man
the fortifica6ons, but thus far this has
been only wasted energy. The Boer
commandos have no intention of un-
dertaking the hopeless task of attack
ing these defeGses.
