HE SENTENCED HOLMES.

Philadelphia Press.

-
Holmes. the multi-murderer. was the
most sensational case that Judge Arnold
has tried. 1t was world-famous and he
Will go down in history as the man who
sentenced the fiend of the evil eye. BY the
way, the Judge was the third man closely
connected with that trial who met with an
accident after Holmes was hanged. Every
one must remember how the story got
around that Holmes had 1.-The evil eye"
Sheriff, juryman and priest who had been
parties to his hanging died Immediately
after. so Judge Arnold was taken violently
i'll, and the superstitious vowed he would
die because of the curse given by the man
who had a mania for poisoning.
did the rumor and the belief attached
to 1t in some quarters have any effect on
you when you were so il?' 1 asked.
None whatever he answered. 81 never
gave 1t a second thought, though 1 read
the glaring suggestions in the newspapers
that L would be the next to die"
Holmes convicted himself by asking too
many questions" he added. THAT might
be an interesting fact to those who are in
murderer. Had he held his tongue he
might AVE got of.
"Fiendishly clever as he was. he was a
trihe too smart. He hanged himself with
his knowledge.
HE conducted his own case, you know,
and every question he put discovered to
the other side something it didn't know.
His queries on drugs and their effects and
certain conditions of bodies put the other
side on the scent.
H was only indicted on a charge of
attempt to defraud an insurance company,
Then he hanged himself with questions.
IAN odd incident about that trial was
that Holmes, in challenging the jurors, dis
carded any one who wasn't neat and well
put up in clothes.
1.-THE result was that it will become a
piece of court history that Holmes had the
best-dressed jury that ever tried a case In
Philadelphia.
That case brought out dozens of inter
esting letters from all over the country,
from Socialists. criminologfsts. alienists and
whatnots. but one of the unique ones was
from a woman who wrote me tina the
Methodist Church was responsible fol
Holiness downfall. They had trained hin
for a missionary and taught him the use
OF drugs. The fascination of the latter
aided by his knowledge, had tempted him
to commit these crimes"

tain time, but bees are not mentioned until
many years later. Their origin is a mystery
and many conflicting tales have been told
about IL. Another strange thing in connec-
ton with bees is that l have noticed that a
certain novelist who, while attempting TO
describe a picturesque Southern home or
very long ago, probably an imaginary one,
put bees in a garden near this home, a con-
siderable time before a single swarm had
appeared in the South. OF course, this writ
er was not familiar with the history OF
how bees were imported from the old world
to the northern portion of this country and
of how long it took for them to spread TO
the South and West. / have in mind an ex-
ceedingly interesting story about a bee, but
this is a true story, and one which my ex-
perience of twenty-four years as a bee
keeper has made me believe. 1t was never
told TO me; / know it from observations l
made among my own bees. In the autumn
Of 1897 / discovered that one of my hives
was queenless. A swarm dwindles in winter,
and If it remains without a queen during a
whole winter the whole colony will die
away, as there is no egg producer. If the
hive happens to lose its queen in autumn 1t
Is too late in the year to rear a queen, and
the swarm is lost, unless it has some brood.
If il has, the bees will rear a queen them
selves and the swarm will be safe. for the
workers will draw out the cell of a COM
mon bee, and, by feeding the worm with a
| certain kind of food, will develop it into a
fertile bee or queen. Blu this hive con-
tanned no brood, and / concluded that the
swarm was doomed: / forgot to say that
these bees were black bees. There are three
kinds of bees-the Italian, the black and
the hybrid. Some time afterward | opened
the hive to see how the bees had been
dwindling away, when l found that they
had a beautiful Italian queen and that they
had increased very much in number. Half
of them were Italians. At first / could
scarcely believe the evidence of my eyes,
but finally l solved the mystery. One of the
black bees had entered an Italian hive and
had stolen an egg to save the colony. That
is the only solution possible. But the in
genuity of this robber cannot be surpassed,
as it had to pass the guards at the en-
trance of the Italian hive. And how ii man.
aged to come out with the egg is indeed a
great mystery. for a swarm will not. allow
strangers to come among ii. The bravery of
this little black bee is wonderful"

TOWN AND COUNTRY BOYS.
Why the Latter Succeed in Life
Oftener than the Former.

John Gilmer Speed, in Brandur Magazine
A country boys lack of opportunity is
his best equipment for the serious struggle
of life. This sounds paradoxical, but it
is true. 1t is just as true as the opposite
proposition, that the greatest ~hindrances
a city boy has to contend with are the
opportunities which beset him when young
and pursue him till he begins the real
business of life-a business which each In
dividual must carry on for himself. For
the city boy everything is made as easy
as possible. Even pleasure becomes to
him an old story before he is out of his
teens. Brought up in the feverish rush of
a place where great things are happening
day by day, he sees the world with a
cynic's eyes and despises the small things
which, like the bricks in a house, go to
the upbuilding of characters and careers.
He believes in using large markers in the
game of life; for pennies and small units
of value he has little taste and scant re-
gard.
The conditions surrounding the country
boy are as different as possible. There Is
a deal of regular work that every country
boy must do. and this regularity of en-
ployment, mostly out Of doors, inculcates
industrious habits. while il contributes to
a physical development which in after
years is just as valuable as any athletic
training that can be had. He cannot run
as fast, perhaps. as those trained by a
system; he my not be able to jump so high
or so far. or excel in any of the sports
upon which we bestow so much time and
from which We get so much of pleasure.
but his development enables him to buckle
down to the hard work in which hours
are consumed and from which very little
or no immediate pleasure Is extracted. His
strength may be something like that of
the cart horse, but the cart horse is TO be
preferred where a long and steady pull Is
required. The thoroughbred race horse
has a fine fight of speed and canters with

THE HONEY BEE.
Useful Insects About which Countless
Lies Have Been Told.

More false stories are told about the
honey bee than any other creature l know
Of" said an apiarist, and this fact Is
rather curious, for the bee is the most USE
full and remarkable insect of ancient or
modern times. Though il is not so simple in
its details. the life of the bee is very easy
to understand, yet l have heard all sorts of
untrue tales about il. A most common story
about bees Is that each swarm has a king.
a large bee which governs the swarm. This
king is only an imaginary one. There is a
queen, however. and she lays all the eggs
that produce bees. All the other bees are
simply workers, except the drones. These
drones are always idle, and the majority
Of them are worthless. They are very large
and / suppose they are what some people
take for kings. / have heard peculiar tales
Of how these kings live on wax thrones in
obscure parts of the hives, and some of
these tales are quite entertaining. but they
