How Some Animals and Birds Manage to
Emicrate


The Donald Currie liner Tintagei Castle
lett Cape Town on May g. 1901. The ship
had covered over / 900 miles, when sud
denly from beneath the forward ventila-
tor rose a dense swarm of bees. They
settled on the ventilator and covered it,
The sailors constructed a rough hive,
and there the insects remained happily
enough for seven days. On May 20 the
ship drew near the Cape Verde islands,
passing the mat a distance of about nine
miles, Early that morning the bees left
the ship, presumably for the islands,
though how they knew the land was near
is mystery. This is probably the only
instance on record of insects voluntarily
taking passage by steamship to new
lands.
But other and less desirable stowaways
are common enough. Mr.. Bartlett, of the
London geological gardens, had call one
day from sailor, who wanted to know

Bartlett said Yes"

this case the creature had probably been
brought aboard in timber or in a package
of fruit. Vipers, deadly spiders and other
undesirable immigrants are constantly
found in the holds of ships which have

The crew of the steamer Navinshne

The creature had only been on board a
very brief time when it smashed it's way
out of it's box and took refuge among
a quantity of cargo under the forecastle
deck. There it remained during the whole
of the rest of the voyage, no one being
able to go near the savage beast. It
was not until the vessel had berthed in
the Victoria dock. and expert assistance
obtained, that it could be caught. Then
the place was gradually cleared of cargo

The Rest Cure.

After work comes rest. When they
alternate perfectly man may prepare
to enjoy real happiness. When they
alternate perfectly man will enjoy
both the work and the rest that fol-
lows it.
Nature is a just old lady. She sell
dom gives a man more than he needs
If he elects to live a lazy life she lets
his muscles get flabby and his brain
go sleepy. She never permits him to
long possess faculty or nerve or a
muscle or a sinew that he does not
use. says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The proper way to keep your mus
cles or your brains is to use 'em up
and let nature provide you with fresh
supply. Nature is assisted in this work
by rest. One may rest sometimes by
seeking a change in labor. Labor thus
becomes recreation-re- creation. To
live happily in this world it is not
enough to know how to work; a man
must also know how to rest The man
who knows only how to work will soon
wear out. If he doesn't wear out i'm
mediately his work will sufftN in some
way. No man can do. his best work
unless he alternates it with little play
or a little rest. A man who can't drop
his work from his mind as readily as
he can drop his tools from his hands
had better take a few weeks off to
study the rest question. His nerves are
not what they should be. If man
wishes to keep his nerve let him avoid
nerves

BOUND TO PURIFY MAIN STREET
East Minneapolis Citizens Hold a Mass


$50 Meeting and so Resolve.
The citizens of East Minneapolis are
determined that the disreputable resorts
located on Main street shall be removed
in order to avail themselves of the offer
of M. w. Savage to have the land be-
tween the river and the exposition build
ing transferred into a public park.
A mass meeting of East side people
was held last evening at Second street
and Eighth avenue northeast, and the
proposition was discussed by a number
of representative citizens. There seemed
to be no division of opinion, all being
empha ticaly in favor of clearing Main
street of the Objectionable sights which
have infested the section for. many years.
There was some fear expressed by
Northeast citizens that an attempt might
be made to clear only the Southeast por-
ton of Main street. leaving the one on
the Northeast side to operate in its pres
ent condition. This place is said to be
more Objectionable than any other for the
reason that more men, women and chill
dren are compelled to go by there as a
matter of convenience than by the houses
situated on the Southeast side.
Notice was served by several. persons
that if there were not a united effort on
the part of all East siders to remove all
disreputable resorts from Main street
they would not support d movement 10
