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

Doubtless the only members of the governments gigantic force of em- ployes who go to work before nine o'clock a. m. and continue toiling until sum 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 a number of open-air eating booths, to which the bees resort in large numbers to collect honey from various sweet dishes, particularly apricot, apples, peach, prune and huckleberry pie. The funny part of 1t all is that the commis- 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 1t.
 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, pineapples, 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 or bread pudding on hand. They it hap pens occasionally that some oyer-hasty government bee gets his feet scorched. Tn such cases they hover about the pies until they have cooled off, now and then alighting on the crust to test the tenn. perature of the tempting bait.

Paraguay Tea.

There comes from Paraguay to the Journal of Tropical Medicine news of an apparently harmless beverage which is the sole stay and stimulant of the working classes in Paraguay and the Argentine Republic. It is often known as Paraguay tea or mate, and an att tempt made to introduce it into this country some years ago failed because --as we may guess-there were more potent competitors in the field. It is usually drunk as a hot infusion, through a metal tube, but may be taken like tea, with milk and sugar. Workmen take it with them wherever they go and sip 1t occasionally. Wood cutters will work on it for five or six hours before break fast, and the writer declares that, taken at night, it makes nursing, study or what doctors call night work" real pleasure. Analysis does not explain these results, and lifelong and persistent use appears to have no evil consequences. This would be good substitute for the num- berless patent medicines which supply alcohol to women, or even, in at least one familiar case. cocaine.-London Chronicle.

NEGROES SANG AT WORK.
And Entertained French Opera Sing. CTS in the Streets of New
 Orleans.

The French opera singers were Specta- tors of a picturesque street scene night or two ago in the vicinity of the old French opera house, says the New Or leans Times Democrat Bourbon street was being paved with asphalt, and the work was being hastened so as to have that portion of the street near the opera house accessible for carriages by the time of the opening of the French op- era season.
 On this account an unusually large force of workmen were engaged, and in order to push the work to an early com pletion the men worked at night, huge torches being used. In one block, be- tween St. Louis and Toulouse streets, more than 100 men were working.
 Every one familiar with the negro knows that, in so far as he Is able, he sets his work to music. It Is fact often marveled at that the negro, when he is singing or chanting in a sort of rhythmic mood, works with more ardor than under different conditions. And if an extra de- mand is made on the negro workman he sings or chants the louder. ....ss..ssS sss
 The members of the French opera, or at least many of them, heard for the first time the real melody of the negro voice that night It was that swishful, poetic thing caricatured in the ragtime of the stage, a certain subtle, indefinable some thing which no composer has ever been able to fit to the well-measured octaves of musical arrangements. It was the tuneful, heaving call of the levee, the mellow sunset cry of the cotton fields The faring torch, the bustling hither and thither, the heavy fall of the implements of toil-all those things gave exquisite tone to the setting.

\ EFEI.LER MOVE.
Fight on Hill Said to BE Backed by
Oil Maguate


Boston, Aug. lit is learned def.
nitely that the Standard Oil interests
are back Of the fight being conducted
by E. H. Hartman against j. J. Hill
and the Great Northern for the control
Of the Northern Pacific. The Sta ndard
Oil people have Il gigantic scheme un-
der way, it is stated, to corral the
traffic of the state of Washington and
the Puget Sound traffic with the oil
fields of Alaska, which hold out lerge
promise, the oil fields of Wyoming,
with the coal. lumber, oil and other
resources of the entire Northwest
stretching over the Dakotas into Wy
oming, Montana, Washington and Or
egon.
The Union Pacific is now etfectually
shut out from Puget Sound and so long
as Hill holds the Northern Pacific, so
long will he control the commerce of
the Sound and the traffic through the
Northwest with the unrivalled lumber
business in Washington. The Rookie.
Teller Gould roads and the Standard
Oil company now pay tribute to Hill
roads and the combination is therefore
determined to wrest control of the
Northern Pacific from him. That is
the real aim of the suit to prevent the
distribution of Northern Securities
along the lines proposed by Hill.

Half Milton Tons Over the
Preceding Year.

Washington, Aug 2.-The geologic.
al surveys estimate of coal production
IN the United States for the calendar
year 1908 shows Washington far ahead
of all other states west of the Rocky
mountains. Its total production for
the past year reached 1896, 1903 short
tons, an increase of 5l5, O59 tons over
the preceding year.
oregon last year produced 81, 144

year. The survey values last years
coal production of Washington at So
3S4. 939; that of Oregon at 1921 OBI
and Idaho *13,25O
The forthcoming report of the geo.
logical survey will show that the Uni
ted States exceeded all previous records
in the production of coal in 1903. The
total amount of the output of the coal
mines of the country during that year
was 359, 42l ,3ll tons, an increase of
nearly $4,000, 900 tons, or 10 per cent
over the preceding year. The value of
the product is given at 1904, 100, 1873,
an increase in value of 3S per cent

Russia Will Present Bill to England
on Account of Contra band.
London, July Aug. Russia has
filed formal protest at the foreign
office against British shipments Of con.
traband to Japan. The Associated
Press learns that the Russian govern
ment since the beginning of the war
has carefully watched the manufac-
ture OF goods intended for the use of
the Japanese government, and as soon
as it was established that such goods
were about to be shipped to hostile
destination the facts were communi-
Gated to this government, with the re-
quest that measures be taken to put a
stop to it,
1t is further asserted that in many
cases the government has not taken
action, and it is understood that when
the war ends Russia proposes to pre-
sent bill for damages to the British
government which will offset the in
IDENTITIES claimed for seizure of Brit
ish steamers.
1t is also learned by the Associated
Press that Russia does not intend to
hasten the settlement Of the right of
the vessels of the Volunteer fleet to
pass the Dardanelles, since ii negotia-
lions on the subject were conducted at
this time, as desired by Great Britain,
Russia might he forced 10y the existing
situation to grant concessions she
would afterward regret.

and their employees. Later further
conference on the same subject was
held, at which the president, Attorney
General Moody and Secretaries Morton

were asked to call later, that the pres
ident might have opportunity to go

his official household. Mr.. Moody
discussed the strike from local stand
point, supplementing the report of Sec
rotary Metcalf on the operation of the

that the trust may jeopardize Republi.

that the beginning Of summer is not the
time to expect fashions to become sim

year. so by the time fall styles are set

The latest Of the summer stuffs TO get

earlier goods. and their softness and phi
ability are more than ever rema rk able.
Every possible attempt seems to have

as thin as possible. Checks in them
have become more conspicuous aud have
spread TO a larger share OF the current
fabrics. Powered fabrics are more inn

assertive than many women would adj

erings are to be reserved almost eXclu
sively for trimming. In such use their
striking effects are reduced. either by the
comparatively small quantity OF them
employed. or by masking with other EN-
bellishment. The more modest lowered
