The Beehive In Winter.

Maeterlinck "The Life of the Bee"
 Contrary to what is generally believed, the winter life of the bee Is not arrested, although 1t be slackened. By the con- creted beating of their wings-little sis- ters that have survived the flames of the sun--which go quickly or slowly in accordance as the temperature without may vary, they maintain in their sphere an unvarying warmth, equal to that of a day in spring. This secret spring comes from the beautiful honey itself but a ray of heat transformed that returns now to it's first condition. It circulates in the hive like generous blood. The bees at the full cells present it to their neighbors. who pass 1t on in their turn. Thus it goes from hand to hand and from mouth to mouth. till 1t attains the extremity of the group in whose thous- ands of hearts one destiny, one thought is scattered and united. It stands in lieu of the sun and the flowers, till its elder brother. the veritabe sun of the real, great spring, peering through the half open door, glides in his first sofented glances, wherein anemones, and violets are coming to life again; and gently awakens the workers. showing them that the sky once more is blue fin the world, and that the uninterrupted circle that joins death to life has turned and seSJa afresh.

 There will be seven departments to the programme without the slightest conflict, but embracing all of the features that have been demonstrated as entirely ac- ceptable to local theatregoers.
 With it's blending of comedy and music. a line of novelty, with a dressing of in terest, the bill should prove to be one Of the most successful that has been sean here. Principal among the comedy fea- lures will be the musical numbers of Al Leach and the Three Rosebuds. Leach is one of the cleverest character com edians known to the profession, and his assistants are pretty women who have disguised their attractiveness to suit the case, in portraying trio of country school girls. The scene is schoolroom and the comedy, singing and dancing that is introduced, Is wholesome and en- tertaining.
 Another of the features in this class will be the offering of Roberts. Hayes and Roberts, who will be seen in a comedy sketch that is quite amusing. Hayes is a neat dancer and the two Roberts are decidedly clever as char acter entertainers. Joe Roberts. Is one of the giants of the profession and in his impersonation of little boy he is very funny.
 will be the famous Rossow Midgetsa in- teresting little men. The midgets are natives of Germany and have appeared in every theatre of any consequence in Europe. Some years ago they came to America. and proved to be one of the greatest features in the novelty line the managers had offered in years, and since

beneath 1t narrow strip of tissue paper covering the fruit and, this removed, the strawberries were brought to view; three little bowls, or "cups," in a row, ten or twelve berries in each, the three little bowl just filling the box, which. indeed was made to hold just three.
 The berries were large and handsome but of q paler color than the red-ripe stra awberrles more familiar to most eyes they were pink, and of rather lightish pink, but they were perfectly ripe and pleasing to the eye and the fancy as they would doubtless prove to the taste
 These Florida berries" the dealer con- tnued, indicating some baskets of hand some strawberries standing on the coun- ter, have more character. more. as you might say. strength of taste. but the hothouse strawberries have the greater delicacy of flavor. And then the hothouse berries are absolutely fresh. The Florida berries. quickly as they are brought up in these times must take two or three days on the way: these berries which come from near the city, were picked this morning, and they will be eaten tonight
 "Of necessity, the Florida berries are picked before they are absolutely ripe; these hothouse berries. raised near at hand. are not picked till they are per- fectly ripe. They are like so many freshly cut, perfect flowers
 What makes them cost so much? and why doesn't everybody go to raising hot house strawberries if they can be sold at such prices? Well. the skill time. care and coal required in raising them make them expensive; and we don't all go to raising hothouse berries because. If we did, with so many such berries in the market. we'd soon get the price below the cost of production and all give 1t up again. Fine Florida wberrles re- ceived today we are selling at sl a quart, and the highest price for Florida straw berries this winter was Sl.50 quart. That was about the middle of December.
 Southern strawberries are less costly now than they were. say ten or fifteen years ago. Then they went sometimes to s3 a quart in midwinter, and commonly to g. The lower present day midwinter

LONG YEARS IN PUBLIC LIFE.
At Age of e4 Judge Reagan Retires From Office to Write His Memoirs.

stateFrom the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 At the age of s4 Judge Reagan of Texas has retired from office ofter most sim gular career. Of his youthful contem- poraries Galusha A. Grow of this state alone survives, and he Is about to, lay down the cares of public life.
 The careers of the two men have little in common except longevity. Judge Rea- gan comes of Pennsylvania ancestry, but was born In Tennessee. As youth ne fought for the independence Of Texas and received promotion for his valor. It Is believed that no other soldier or the war of 1885 survives. or at least none who has since achieved eminence. Rea- gan held office In Texas while it was in- dependent, became judge while It was a state and was sent to congress. He was far from being A rabid advocate or secession, but when he had done all he could to prevent 1t. went with his state into the confederacy. was member of the provisional congress. and was at once appointed postmaster general. an office which he held throughout the career of the iil-starred government. He had served on the postal committee In the house. and through friends in the de- partment at Washingt on who had south ern sympathies he got blanks and in- formation which enabled him to establish his system without trouble except where military movements prevented
 After the war he was confined in Fort Warren. whence he issued his famous appeal to the people of Texas to accept the arbitrament of war and return to al- legianee The time was not ripe yet. and he was berated for his views, but later he was elected to the senate, where he served A portion of one term. He re- signed to become the head of the Tcxss railroad commission. which Is a notable

that time their tour of engagements has brought them regularly to this country Charlie Rossow, the cleverest of the duo is a man thirty-three years old, but he is hardly larger than the average 5-year- old boy though a perfect man in every other respect He is an acropat and as active as cat He is also a clever char acter impersonator, and will be seen here as John Phillup Sousa, directing the or chestra. @s4
 Johnson, Davenport and Lorrello &C., robatic comedians will, offer their Foot ball players and the Farmer speciality introducing many astonishing and inter- esting clever feats In acrobatic work.
 Herbert and Willing, opponents of modern minstrelry will offer a singing, talking and dancing number that has made good in all of the best vaudeville play houses.
 The act in which Phroso the mechani- cal doll is certainly one of the most talked of this season. Phroso was the special feature in the principal vaude- vile houses of New York at the close of the season last year, and then went to Europe where a sensation was created by the number. Phroso was then brought back to America under special contract, and will be seen here for the first time. The figure walks and talks. but sensation is created by argument as to whether it is man or figure, and the sides have cen about equally divided.

body because of the drastic nature of the legislation under which 1t operates. He left the congenial atmosphere of the senate by request. as tlere was feel ing that he alone would be able to carry out the expressed will of the people In the commission. After ten years service he has retired and Is writing his memoirs, whic ought to be a remarkable work. If he tells all he knows there will be in- formation concerning the early history Of Texas. and of the inside history of the Confederacy which will be of great value.
 Sixty-five years in public life Is long period-almost unexemplifed When he was an official in Texas there were in public office in this country men who had served in the revolutionary war; An drew Jackson was president. Clay and Webster were in the prime of life and John Quincy Adams was in the earlier part of his career in the house.

general. His senses were charmed with the eloquence and poetical presentation of the cause of agnosticism, but he was by no means convinced of the truth. The discussion made him deeply reflective and led him to make a careful and ex- haustive study of the life of the Nazar- enc. The result of this research and Gen eral Wallace's answer to Ingersoll was Ben Hur,' work which has been more widely read than any printed volume save the sacred book of Scriptures.

beautiful manner, It was inevitable that a book of such powerful dramatic and romantic interest should have attracted the attention of serious play-builders and from time to time vain efforts were mace to get the generals consent to transform the stage the outline of his thrilling story. He could not see how the scene of the Star of Bethlehem, the sinking of the Roman galley, the great chariot race or the representation of the miracle on the Mount of Olivet could be adequately pre- scented. To him there were 1nsurmounta- ble mechanical difficulties in the way of the first three incidents, and as for the last he was fixed in his decision to allow no representation of the personality of the Nazarene to be seen in dramatic spectacle made fFom his book.

upon plan which would be perfectly ef- fective and yet treat the subject with all possible respect. They conceived the idea of simply suggesting the presence of the Savior by a shaft of pure white light of remarkable brilliancy. This suggestion appealed to the general and led to the business arrangement which has been so substantially satisfactorily to both writer and manager.
