Repu1sed by Bees.

A striking incident of the relief of
Cawnpore was the rout of the Ninth
lancers by swarm of bees. A village
in the line of march was found to be
defended by a hastily improvised
stockade, on the top of which, a num-
Der of hives were stuck. Into one of
these young officer jabbed his sword.
with a result that in far less time than
1t takes to tell it the, whole advance
guard was racing for dear life to the
rear, and Sir Hope Grant hastily
formed line of battle, believing it re-
pulsed by the mutineers in force.

PRIMITIVE PUMPS,
The Mechanism Used In Ancient
Egypt and In China.

Egypt and In China.
A representative piece of mechanism
occurs frequently on the sculptures of
early Egypt. It has the appearance of
and is generally believed to be that of
a portable pump. The hydraulic screw
is also attributed to this people, but
their main reliance seems always to
have been the shadoof, seen every
where along the banks of the Nile. an
invention so simple and so we'll adapt
ed to their needs that it remains today
substantially the same at it has been
through all the centuries since history
began.
The same may be said regarding the
chain pump in China, an invention the
origin Of which antedates the Christian
era. This simple machine, which seems
never to have been improved upon, is
In such common use that every agricul-
tural laborer is in possession Of one
Where irrigation is conducted on q lar
ger scale the chain pump is made pro-
portionately larger and moved by a
very simple tread wheel. and still lar
ger ones are operated by yoking buff
falo or other animal to suitable driv-
ing machine.
The application of steam to raising
water is of uncertain origin. Long be-
fore the Christian era certain applica-
tions of fire to vessels containing wa
ter, by which effects were produced
calculated to astonish ignorant wor-
shippers, were practiced by the priests

Lust IN HOTELS.

Queer Things That Absentminded
Guests Forget to Take Away.
Every hotel in New York has store
room for articles left behind by guests.
1t is one of the important departments
of the establishment and often earns
the gratitude of travellers whose I'M
fortunate habit Of forgetting leads
them to look for things that are miss
ing. In hotels a book is kept in which
are jotted down descriptions of arti-
cles forgotten. When q hotel does a
large transient business, it is frequent
~ with difficulty that lost articles are
arranged for ident ification.
The integrity of servants must be
relied upon to large extent. The
chambermaid takes immediate possess
sion Of a room upon the guests de-
parture. She picks up anything that
appears to have been left unintention-
ally. A note describing the article and
giving the name of the guest, the room
number and the time of departure is
taken to the clerk. The property is
turned over to the housekeeper and by
her to the lost department.
Said the clerk of one fashionable ho-
tel: 81 remember singular case of a
man who didn't respond at once to
the hall boys call for an early train.
The result was that when he did get
up he had to run. From the station
we got call on the telephone:
"'Hurry to my room,' he shouted,
and on the table you'll find very val
liable package. It's my eyes. Send
them to the station -,' =
Sure enough. we found two glass
eyes on the dressing table In a plush
case. One was for daily use and the
other for an emergency. Guests often
forget their false teeth, but that was
the only case l ever knew of man
leaving his eyes,"
Rings and pins are often found on
the washstand Valuable pins are
found everywhere, the window cur
tains being favorite depository.
Watches and revolvers bob out from
under pillows. OF course when the
owners address is known and any
thing valuable is left he is notified
and the article sent to him. If not
called for in few months, the forgot
ten article usually becomes the per-
quisite Of employees. = New York

Happy New Year.
A Christmas tree festival was held
at the church last Saturday evening.
Miss Mary Carlson of Princeton, was
the guest of Miss Mamie Yotte IN last
Sunday.
Miss Emily Nelson came up from
Minneapolis to spend the holidays with
her folks.
We are sorry, Johnny. The weather
was so bad or we would have helped
scare you.
Swedish services were conducted at
the school house Monday evening by
Rev. Bolin from Foreston.
Mr.. Rebe, has been kept quite busy
with his power saw cutting up heating
material for his neighbors.
Miss Christine Berglund of Minneapo-
lis, came home Christmas eve to visit
with her parents during the holidays.
Up near our north boundary where
the country is more prairie like, the
snow had drifted so badly that the
whole population was out shoveling
snow Monday to open up roads. That's
right, boys.
Theodore Simple's house and about
200 bushels of potatoes was totally de-
stroyed by fire on Christmas eve.
Some defect in the chimney was the
cause of the fire. Mr.. Simple carried
no insurance. So the loss was no doubt
keenly felt.

Berlin, Dee. S.-The growth Of the
population in 1902, regarding which
statistics have just been tahulated, was
the greatest ever known, amounting to
902,312, or 1851 per 1000, compared
with 1900 in 1901 and 1463, the aver
age for the last ten years The number
Of births during the decade increased
only slightly, remaining just above
100000 yearly The gain therefore is
due exclusively to the diminished death
rate, which was 20.56 in 1902 compared
with 22,69 for the previous decade
