WASHINGTON NOTES.

A sensational speech was made In the
House of Representatives last Friday,
by Charles T. Wheeler Of Paducah, KY,
one Of the brightest young men on the
Democratic side 81 the chamber. He
intended isremarks as protest against
the toadyism, tuft-huntiDg and funkey-
ism that are being exhibited en- account
OF the special embassy TO the corona
tion, laying special stress upon the
Paunceforte episode as disclosed by
Germany. During the course Of his
remarks he called Secretary Hay a
'pitiable little funkey," who ought to
be put ont Of .he State Department for
bringing about the present condition
He referred TO Prince Henry as ~
little Dutchman' (be IN over feet
tall. and said that II what was given
out by the Berlin Foreign Office az 10
Great Britain's attitude before the
Cuban war is true, this man Paunce-
forte ought to be ordered TO take the first
ship TO cross the waters"
lie said that the determination Of the
President to send his daughter to the
coronation was most unfortunate cir.
cumstance. He sneered at what he
called our trucking TO England for
permission to become a world power.
His words were 10 bitter that several
Republicans badgered him with ques-
tiona.
President Roosevelt stands firm in
the position taken In his message 10
Congress that there should be "a sub
stantial reduction In the tariff duties on
Cuban imports into the United States
and that this country ~ bound by ey.
cry consideration Of honor and expedien.
cy TO pass commercial measures in the
interest of Cuba's well being"

By the time we get what we want in
life we want something else a great
deal more.-Saturday Evening Post.
The Public GaIlovs n Century Ago.
Even if the bicycle had been invented
hundred years ago touring could
hardly have become very popular-at
all events, for solitary cyclists. The
old guidebooks were by no means
cheerful reading. A run from London
to East Grinstead, distance of five or
six and twenty miles, would have tax
en- the wheelman past three gibbets,
and it was just as likely as not that
from one or the other of them body
would be swinging in the wind.
Up till the beginning of the nine
teenth century the gallows was almost
as frequent landmark as finger posts
or public houses have become now.
The traveller approaching York is di-
rected by the guidebooks to turn
round by the gallows and three wind
mills" and the road out of Durham is
between the gallows and Crokehill." p"
Going out Of Wells you 'cross the
brook and pass by the gallows."
Any number Of such directions can
be CLEANED from the old books for the
guidance Of travellers a hundred years
ago and as these interesting objects
were put up and the dead bodies of
malefactors left upon them for the
special edification Of footpads and
highwaymen there was suggestive
ness about them that must have giveT
n special piquancy to cycle touring If II
had been in vogue at that time.-Lon-

HONEYCOMB BUILDING.
The Use of Foundation and Iethod
of Attaching CoHib StarfcFs.

The Use of Foundation and Efethods
of Attaching Conib startcFs.
In a recent bulletin G. p. Gillette Of
the Colorado station calls attention to
the fact that experiments have shown
that II requires about one pound Of
wax for every twenty-five pounds Of
honey that IS stored In the comb. The
food which is necessary for the forma-
ton and secretion OF wax in the body
OF bees Is for the most part honey, and
II probably requires several pounds OF
honey as food for worker bees to en-
able them to produce one pound Of
wax. The bees which are engaged in
the secretion Of wax are thereby pre-
vented from collecting honey and must
feed upon the honey collected by other
workers. Where comb honey Is being
produced for the market II becomes,
therefore, problem Of considerable
economic importance to determine to
what extent and In what form wax
should be furnished the bees for their
use IN building comb.
According 10 the present practice Of
bee raisers, wax ~ furnished TO bees
IN only one general way, and that Is in
the form Of artificial comb foundation.
There are, however, many types Of
foundation. some with a midrib only
and others with cell walls Of greater or
less length outlined for the bees. The
keeper has, therefore, the practical
problem Of determining the kind Of
foundation to uge, whether with or
without coll wallis ana or what weight.
Professor Gillette's Investigations in
dicatc that 1t ls n mistake 10 use deep
cells IN artificial foundation unless
their walls arc made Of the thinncss or
natural cell walls. Tie only cell walls
which were brought TO the tlTnness Of
natural comb were those built on foun.
dations with a liGht base and with little
wax IN the cell walls.

raj comb and comb built on artificial

The Editors New Year Dona-
tiOn.

The editor sat in his broken backed
chair,
His classical features distorted by care,
While even his whiskers were quiyering
with pain,
Such sad thoughts were stirring his
masterful brain
The boys were off for holiday rout,
The devil az well as the fire had gone
out.
The bills on his desk we're 20 long over
due,
Though grey was the morning they
turned IL quite blue.
But suddenly sweeping the bills ont Of
With hands in his pockets he rat bolt
upright,
The sad spell was broken the silence
was DER
For twenty rough countrymen rushed
in the door.
The editors hand an old jack knife was
clincbing,
He shivercd with terror, quite sure of a
lynching.
Delinquent subscribers composed the
rough crowd,
They mnttered and whispered and one
spoke aloud.
I'VE are owing You yet. no use lying
about it,,
Your paper we mnst have. we can't do
without It.;
Bnt moneys 40 scarce ii just beats ali
creation,
SO we have brought you in new year 3
donation.
The editor rose, the room seemed filled
with light,
The world seemed NO large and the fu.
turc 80 bright,
And speechless with joy as tho crowd
moved away
Examined the riffs that had 30 changed
his day.
There were three COW pumpkins and six
nov tin cups,
A second hand washboard and two yel.
low pups,
A saw and saw bnck, paper of pins,
An old flint lock inusIet and two rabbit
skins,
a good last years almanac, one rubber
| boot.
An old patent office report and flute
a half peck Of turnips, n cellnloid col
lar,
And shades Of Columbus, real silver
dollar.
The editors heart was ~ light as n
feather,
He didn't care now for the world or the
weather,
He ate raw turnip he played with the
pups,
And grinned ~ himself in the shiny tin
cups.
The patent report was TOO deep and TOO
solemn.
But almanac jokes in the original col
umn.
Will starile the town 10 he tries hil
new finite
With one Lex encassd IN his big rubber
boot.
The washboard and pins nc will give tc
his wife,
And saw and saw buck to lengthen hen
life;
He smiles ~ he fastens his new standnt
collar,
And thinks what he'll do with his biz
silver dollar
II will not pay bill. IL would not buJ
much provision,
And 40 not 10 waste 1t he makes deci
sion;
He'll not tell hig wife. IL might be- to hi

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

Saturday will be Washipgtons bilth
day. Following we print comments
on him by great newspaper man.
A few years ago / made a study ot
George Washington. especially of hii
early life, and was surprised, though il
seemed to me that l. knew as much al
the average American citizen of the frs
of our presidents, to realize that / had
not understood the breadth, excellence
and usefulness Of his civil and military
life. He grows as we know him.
He was great general, organized tbs
army at Boston, saved it at Brooklyn,
fought two battles for Philadelphia,
made the brilliant stroke at Trenton
and Princeton, struck the British hard
at Manmouth, and rebuked Charles Lee
on the eld-disappeared from the north
to 20 to Yorktown, capture Cornwallii
and win the Independence declared; and
took the command In person Of an army
Of 10000 men to put down disorder in
Western Pennsylvania that would have
destroyed the union il he had not made
rebellion hopeless by the mass Of troops
he led to the field to crush the one Of
his time.
George Washington knew better thar
any other man who lived in his day the
greatness Of the west He was at Pitts
burg ON his way TO Fort lie Boeuf, in
Erie county. Pennsylvania, and at that
time Pittsburg was The Fork" and not
a stick had been cut where your city
stands.
The next year he was sent with an
insufficient force to fortify THE Fork,
but the French were ahead and they
overwhelmed him at Fort Necessity,
where he was made a prisoner Of war.
and was a prisoner July 4, 22 years be
fore the declaration. Later he was with
Braddock, az the world well knows, and
returned again and again to look after
his land investments In the west.

I,ittsburg and Allegheny.

Tuesdays election in Pittsburg was
perhaps the most exciting in the history
Of the city; there was trouble and tur-
mol at nearly every polling place; about
$1,000 votes were polled; and Mr.. Lar
kin, the "Citizens" candidate for Con
troller (the accounting officer of the
city was elected by majority Of about
5000; while of the Select Councilmen
elected, the local Ring" got but five OF
the nineteen elected, and Of Common
Counclmen, II Of the 81 elected.
1t was revolt, and very emphatic
one, against the rule Of Finn and his
crowd; and viii not only affect state
politics but those of every county in
Western end of the State.
In Allegheny the Republican candi-
date for Controller was elected by the
usual majority; and in the Fifth ward,
Miss Mcknight was elected to the
