a novel point of international Interest

The American wartship Chicago hat

at S o'clock one morning a member Of
her crew was found unconscious in 4
boat lying alongside. He was lifted or

board, with the result that, so far al
those on the vessel were concerned, tn,
cause Of death was satisfactorily made
out.
An officer went ashore, and arranged
for a funeral, with full naval honors, il
Southampton Cemetery. A handsom,
coffin was ordered, and florists wers
commissioned to prepare some lovely
wreaths. Vixen the registrar of death'
was called upon a difficulty arose. HI
felt that he could not accept the certi6
cate of death, which was signed by tn.
ships doctor, not only because, said thu
registrar, it wa not made out by a reg
istered medical practitioner, but also be
cause death was not the result of natura
causes. He therefore, referred the Am
erican officer to the coroner.
The as then seen, and he sale
that as soon as the body was landed i

would be his duty to hold an inquest. II

was answered with quotations from tn

per, but neither side woGild give way
and the position was the more compli

have been established, and thousands
Of persons in various parts Oh the
country are devoting their entire time
to the scientific fostering Of honey pro-
duction. Something of the scope Of
the operations now being carried on
may be imagined from the fact that
there are now in the United States
considerably oven 100 aparian societies,
eight periodicals published solely in
the interests Of the industry, and if
teen steam factories for the manufac-
tury of bee hives and apiarian imple-
ments.
It is estimated that there are fully
100000 persons engaged in the culture
Of bees In this country at the present
time. Prominent bee keepers who un-
dertook. a year o two ago, to form
some idea Of how much honey is pro-
duced in the country, came to the con-
clusion that at least $4,000 pounds Is
stored in sections every year, while
they assumed that 100, 900 pounds of
extracted honey is produced-an aggre-
gate OF 100000 pounds. The bee keep
ers, however, were probably too mod

Rabbit Had a Peculiar Gait.

There is a sportsman's club on one O.
the lakes of Sullivan County, and thithes
came q new member last month for hi,
first shooting. The old members talkei
enthusiastically of the excellent sport t.
be had shooting rabbits by moonlight
The new one wa very anxious to try It
After dinner the old-timers offered tt
take him out. One volunteered to stay
by the new man so that he should not b.
lost. and two took their places on a lot
where they could overlook the edge O.
a marsh. After awhile there was a stil
in the bushes and some gray thing nlovet
across the open space. The new mar
saw it first.
"H's yours" said the old-timer. "Yo,
saw it, and we make it a rule here tx
never interfere with another mani
game"
So the new member fired a shot from
his repeating gun. The object kept OF
moving. Bang, bang, bang" roared thu
u until its magazine was empty.
Now there was a rushing of feet ant
the other hunters came on the scene
Their questions were numerous. The
new mans answers were indefinite. HI
had seen something and had emptied hi:
gun at it. It had looked like a rabbit
abut." he added, "it had a blamed quee,
gait"
The old members went with the new
man to look for his game. They wer,
present when he picked up an old sho
bag stuffed with cotton and fastened t.

EDUCATION IN ENGLAND.
Great Progress Has Been Made In tho
Last Fifty Years.

But what of the rnass of the people?
What is education or what passes for
such, doing for them? 1t is more than
fifty years since in England the first
~taint-hearted steps were taken by the
state toward the instruction of its citi-
zens-a duty up to that time aban-
doned to private enterprise and the strife
OF religious parties. 1t is nearly thirty
years since the nation, in the education
act Of 1874 for the first time set it's hand
to manage Its own schools and inaugu-
rated q partially national system Of edu-
cation The s~choolnaster has since
been abroad throughout che land, with
the result that almost every m can
read and write, and the entry "his" or
"her mark In q marriage register, once
almost the rule, Is now q rare exception.
By slow degrees, through many fail
ures and mistakes, in spite of political
and theological obstruction, Our educa-
ton authorities have evolved q system
OF elementary instruction which on pa
per leaves little to be desired. We have,
in fact, the raw material for a .frst-rate
system of national education, and all
that 10 wanted, in the words of a re-
cent writer on the subject is to make
Il national and TO make 1t educational.
How this 10 to be done we do not now
inquire. But 1t 10 worth while to ask
what has been o. lie being done-what is
the effect Of all this educational sactiv-
ity upon the intellectual tastes and rec
reations Of the people?'
Our hborer or artisan is not yet a
literary or ever a cultivated person, o
is it either likely that he will be, or nee
essary that he should be. But education
is slowly widening his intellectual hori-
zon and giving him a few sips of the
Pierian spring. The machinery for Civ
ing him such mental cultivation as he is
capable of is all there, and only needs te
be more intelligently applied, and for
a longer period. When a more enlight-
ened public opinion, and the influence
and example of his employers and So
cial superiors point the way, he may be-
gin to see that it In worth his while tc
continue learning after he is twelve OF
thirteen years old He is now the dom
inant factor in politics. His vote can
make and unmake ministries. States
men of whatever political party must
give or profess to give him what he
wants.-Literature.

est in their claims, for their calcula-
tons showed the annual honey crop
of the country to be worth $1O,0 200,
whereas the officials of the United
States Department of Agriculture, who
have made an especial study Of the
subject, place the valuation at fully
double that figure.
This record Of the great wealth
represented in a comparatively obscure
food product is all the more remark
able when it is remembered that the
apiarian industry in the United States
is practically a development Of the
last forty years, although Isolated indi-
viduals were engaged in that work
long prior to that time. In the score
Of years from 1869 to 1889 the Amer
lean production of honey was quadru-
pied, increasing from less than 15,000.-
600 pounds annually to nearly, 64,000,-
600 pounds annually; and the closing
decade of the century witnessed a
growth proYortionately greater, since
the estimated output Of the closing
year VA LAC SSS4Cs dS given oNUfSs 40
very much more than double that re-
corded ten years ago. The bee keep
ing industry, however, far from having
reached the acme Of possible develop
ment, would appear to be only just
entering upon an era Of even more re-
markable growth.
The progressive, present day apiarist
does not look for the production of wax
in so great a proportion compared with
his honey yield as did the old time
bee hive beekeeper. The latter OBJ
tanned much of his honey for the mar
ket by crushing the combs and strain
ing it out, leaving the crushed combs
to be melted up for their wax. Ere

The weeds on the highways are I'M.
usually prolific this year on account of
the continued rains and favorable
weather for their growth. The people
Of the state have evidently forgotten
that state law exists requiring them to
be cut down, for it is complied with only
III few places. The high weeds in the
country roads are great nuisance and
this fact was recognized by the trainers
of the law but the people do not recog-
nize it, This evil is certain to be mend
ed, however, by the Anderson road
law passed by the last general assembly.
AS yet it has not been enforced to any
great extent, for the people do not
understand it and the county auditors
have not sent out the information regard
ing it TO many parts OF the state. IL
does away with the working of the
roads by the farmers however, except
in the case of the poll tax, and provides
that all other road taxes must be paid
in cash. This money will be used to
hire men to work the roads and they
are likely to be worked if this course is
Systematically pursued. The difficulty,
however, will be to secure men for this
purpose in some sections. This difficult
ty can be obvlated by paying good
wages and hiring good men, and in
