Many travellers in the Philippines, as

For mutton the pound price IS: Leg.

they're only nonplussed," said the man
of bees, reassuringly, as l was making
for a tree to hide behind.
Before long the tree, hollow inside,
though by no means either dead or
small, began to show the effects of the
blows, and slowly sank down, then tot
tered and fell with a crash to the
ground, down into the little valley.
A slow, smothered fire ws@ built OF
twigs, and the wooden cloth lighted
then blown out and permitted to mere
ly smolder and throw out volumes OF
suffocating smoke. This was the
dope" to put quietus on the bees
ambitions to raise trouble, and 1t did,
to some extent, for the smoking stuff
was placed directly beneath the hole
in the tree trunk, which was the only
egress and exit of the bees
Before long, things becoming some
what quiet in the bees affairs, the bee
man chopped two holes into the fallen
trunk, one above and one below the
mass of bees; one of these holes faced
the ground, the other upward, over
which was placed the bee gum"
The bee gum was braced by little
chips, so as to prevent the topping
over, and the crevices surrounded by
the aforesaid oilcloth.
The smoke beneath was supposed TO
drive the bees up into the bee gum
but it miscarried, at first, for some UNI
known reason.
Whereupon the bee man, SURPRISING
all belief, protruded his naked hand
and arm right into the hollow Of the
tree. even among the million insanely
mad bees, pushing them literally for
ward, to hasten their movement into
the bee gum, and he received not as
much as a single sting.
/ gaped with wild-eyed wonder, from
behind a tree, quite away.
"They don't sting much when they
have made no honey, and they haven't
had time yet to make nary a speck
1 see," said the wizard of the bees.
While the others calmly went about
entrapping the bees, ] lodged the bees
and paved at them nervously, and was
the only one stunR.
The bee man was literally covered
with bees, only stopping slowly to
take one off his eyes, now and then,
or dump a few out of his neck. In the
course of half hour longer the great
mass of bees were into the bee gum,
among which was the queen herself
the magnet that held all the rest in a
solid colony. She being procured all
was well.
Then the bee man dumped the box
over quickly, covered 1t tightly with
the oilcloth, and the wild bee hunt was
a success.
We slowly trudged with the pounds
of buzzing bees back to the farmhouse.
where they were again transferred into
a regular bee box and strips Of bees
wax formed by the hand of man into
comb, were artfully hung to give the
bees a start to begin their work for
someone else, and just as the many
other hives were doing there.

His speech was we'll received.
He urged upon the colored race the
Importance of industrial education and
particularly emphasized the need for
them to become skilled farmers. The
purpose of education, he declared. was
TO make them better for work as bar

they should not all seek to be doctors,

he besought that there should be the

if the negro practiced patience, self
control and courage.

Still Another Deal.

Tallahassee, Fla. Oct 30.-The Bias

Moultrie, Ca, has closed a deal with
the Jackson Bros. Lumber Company
of Alabama for the tract of timber
south of Tallahassee, consisting of 2S,-
900 acres recently purchased of the
Cook Lumber Company of North Car

mills on the tract at once, so as to
make the annual production not less

1t is probable that steel railway

10000 acres of timber, which they have
contrac ted out to a large mill.

Tense punishable by imprisonment for
one year. and must have led sober
and respectable life for the previous
five years His yearly income must
not exceed G52 or his net capital 62iO,
and he must not have deprived himself
of property or income to qualify for a
pension. The full amount of the PEN
sion is els per year, payable monthly,
but this amount is diminished 81 for
each additional pound of income ne
receives above G52, or for each ELS OF
capital he possesses in excess of E27O
The amount paid out since the law was
adopted has increased much more
rapidly than the increase of population
The payments have been as follows:
1899 go. 7,433 pensions 912S,0S2
1900 ....11,2S5 pensions 1878
1901 ....12.4O5 pensions 211,965
1902 .12776 pensions 1872
These figures would seem to indicate
that the people are each year learning
how to qualify for the receipt of pen
sion. II the possession of little prop
erty prevents receiving a pension, why
economic and save; or II one already
has property, why not seek to dispose Of
II In such a way as not to forfeit the
claim to a pension? Such a course is
no doubt opposed to the spirit of the
law but human nature being what 1t
Is, there are very few communities
where the people viii not assist needy
neighbor to get support out of the gov
eminent.
There is much theoretically to COM
mend the principle of old age pensions,
but will It be possible to work 1t out
in such way as not to destroy the in
centive for thrift and saving among
the wage-earning classes? The present
New Zealand plan is little better than
outdoor charity, and cannot fail to have
"A demoralizing effect upon the people.
One way to avoid this evil would be to
grant a moderate pension to every per-
son So years OF age without regard to
his income. This would at least avoid
offering a premium upon poverty. An
other plan would be to organize an in
surance fund, and to require a moder-
ate weekly or monthly payment from
those who wish to share in the pension.
There Is no doubt an urgent demand
for some better system of support for
those who have passed the age Of ef-
ficient work, and IL IS probable that the
New Zealand experience may contrib
ute to this result, but the system will
need lasge modification In order that its
evils ~esall not exceed its benefits.
