GOVERNMENT BEES.
Busy Insects Belonging to the Agri-
cultural Department Swarm
to Market.

Doubtless the only members Of the
governments gigantic force of en-
ployes who goto work before nine o'clock
a. m. and continue toiling until sun
down are the Italian bees kept by the de-
partment of agriculture. These, the
smallest of our domestic animals, are
kept by the department for experimental
purposes and for stocking its various
substations, says the Washington Post.
Some time ago these government bees
discovered that Center maket was a
far better pasture than the flower beds
and vegetable gardens of the depart
ment, and there they resort every day.
to no small discomfort and annoyance OF
commission dealers, hucksters, gard
ners and restaurant proprietors, whose
stock In trade the Industrious little in
sects prey upon.
In some cities the rats and mice are
troublesome, and in others crickets,
grain insects, and various other bugs
prey upon the perishables, but Center
market is the only market in the United
States where the most serious pest is the
insects which belong to the government.
They eat holes in the peaches, poach on
the grapes, gather honey from cante-
loupes, and are the first to find the soft
spots in pineapples and bananas. What
is more, there are about Center market
number Of open-air eating booths, to
which the bees resort in large numbe RS
to collect honey from various sweet
dishes, particularly apricot, apples,
peach, prune and huckleberry pie. The
funny part of it all is that the commits
sion dealers, fruit handlers and res
taurant keepers are afraid to offer any
opposition to their intrusion for fear
the plucky little insects will resent it.
Hardly a week passes that some one
does not get stung by the government
bees, who object to rough handling and
treatment With the juice and wax
which they collect from apples, melons
peaches, oranges, pineapplcs, grapes
bananas and pies in the market, they
lay up their store of winter honey. The
only time the restaurant keepers are
able to even up with these little pests is
when they have batch of hot pies OF
bread pudding on hand They it hap
pens occasionally that some over-hasty
government bee gets his feet scorched
until they have cooled of, now and then
alighting on the crust to test the tenn
perature of the tempting bait.

the final brandy-andsoda peg" had
been quaffed in the billiard room, that
he might deem himself at liberty to in
dulge his thoughts. Then, in the 81
lence and seclusion of his own cham
Der, he could face his trouble, and
realize that his fondest hopes were
smashed beyond repair.
Retribution in scarlet letters was
burned in indelible characters upon his
brain, and he, the envied OF all his
guests, was really the most miserable
and the most to be pitied. Yet he pre-
sented smiling front, and none amid
all the gay and careless throng
dreamed of the viper gnawing at his
vitals
What shall do? What can l do?"
he groaned to himself in anguish.
Confession, restitution. repentance-of
what avail would these be-?
Stella Dysart might forgive, but
could she forget? Never would she
take to her bosom her brothers slayer,
Of that he felt assured And, to do the
man justice, that innate sense of right
and wrong which is implanted in the
worst Of our race made him recoil with
horror from the consequences OF such
a union.
And yet he loved her-how deeply,
how sincerely, he began to realize now
that this bloody barrier was set be-
tween them. Could he give her up?
Never!
So he began to temporize Nothing
was known His crime could never
be discovered. Richard Dysart was
long ago food for the asvogels. Stella
need never learn the truth unless he
chose to tell it. Let her Rick be for

sinking out of sight in the maelstrom
Of life, merely another name added to
the long roll of the missing.
Tossed and torn by such conflicting
agonies of thought, the lurid hours
went by for Rossiter Kane until it
wanted but. two days to the climax of
the festivities. He had seen Stella but
once since his declaration, and then
she was not alone, but he knew that
she would think it strange if he did
not call.
Then arose another dilemma. She
would be sure to ask him about Rich

Portraits on Iombstones.

Philadelphia marble dealers are TAX
ing a keen interest in an enterprise,
which had its origin in Denmark, for
reproducing the pictures of dead per-
sons on their tombstones. They say
that it is very probable that the move.
ment will spread to America in short
time. The picture on the tombstone
craze started among the Danes ds a
result of the use of artificial marble.
A Danish master builder succeeded
in producing a stone of such delicate
tints that it was impossible to distin.
guish it from the natural product. The
imitation of the more expensive spe-
cies was found tp cos. far less than
the natural, and IL made in any form
