The fund now in the hands of the
treasurer to purchase the testimonial for
the battleship Missouri amounts almost to
5000, and it is expected that it will be in
creased fully one-half by the funds either
in the hands Of or promised to the sew
eral committees.
A few subscriptions have been received
from the State. and in every case the
amounts cent in reflect credit on those
that had the matter in charge. but the
towns that have contributed are few in
number. The question in the minds CT the
committee appointed by Mayor Wells and
sanctioned by Governor Dockery is: When
will the other towns follow the lead Of the
more energetic and raise their subscrip-
tons?
With the sum already collected not
much Of a testimonial could be bought,
certainly not one worthy the gift Of the

In working under the midway. great DIFF

As soon as the tunnel had reached the
south wall OF the station building proper
a hole was made through the granitoid
floor on the north pide Of the midway.
This admitted light and ventilation.

Changed Times.

Times have changed indeed from the
time when Sydney Smith complaeently
observed that the United States had
so much wilderness clearing to do that
it might well take It's literature. learn
ing and luxury in the bulk from Eng.
lish factories.
"Why." he had asked. SHOULD the
Americans write books when six
weeks passage brings them. in their
own tongue. our sense. science and gen.
ius in bales and hogsheads? Prairies.
steamboats,, gristmills, are their nat
ural objects for centuries to GOMEZ
We might almost reverse this and
ask. why should the English feel Ill
at ease when six days passage brings
them our sense. science and genius?"
For the time Mt least the Rev. Sgd
ney Smiths chief notoriety seems to
be that he was the author of certain
observations whose truthfulness has
proved as brief us it was bitter.--Har.

Baro,netxtc Bees.

Whoever observes these interesting
insects finds it easy enough to foretell
exactly the kind of weather to be ex-
pected. At least this is the opinion Of
many raisers of bees.
Generally the bee stays ut home
when rain is in the air. When the sky
Is simply dark and cloudy, these busy,
workers do not leave their dwelling all
at once. A few go out first, as though
the queen had sent out messengers to
study the state of the atmosphere. The
greater number remain on observation
until the clouds begin to dissipate. and
II is only then that the battalions en-
tire rush out in search of their nectar.
A bee never goes out in a fog, because
1t is we'll aware that dampness and
cold are two fearsome. redoubtable
enemies. We do not mean, however,
that the bee is a meteorologist in the
absolute sense Of the word. Its clever
ness consists in never being taken un.
awares. for 1t possesses untiring vigi-
lance. Often one may observe thesud-
den entrance of bees into the hive
when a dense cloud hides the sun and
even though the rain is not in evidence.
