Residents of certain part of Spruce
street have often seen two charming
old ladies, twin sisters who look SO
much alike that no one ever bothers to
distinguish between them. coming out
from one of the houses. The fact that
they both dress almost alike makes 1t
still harder to tell them apart Some
one who knows the old ladies very we'll
relates that Ann, while making a hur-
ried departure for one of the big de-
partment stores last week, put on su-
Sans bonnet by mistake. In walking
Through the store she came suddenly
in front of full length mirror and

ambition for work or play. After pro-
longed illness, about year ago felt
unable TO regain my health, but four
bottles of Peruna made wonderful
change and restored me to perfect health.

QUEEN BEES.


WOnderfuf sroNisfon OF nature By
which They Are Made.
A marvellous phase of bee life is the
power which they possess to raise
queens. or mother bees, from eggs or
very young brood that would in the
ordinary course produce workers
which are neuters. or undeveloped fe-
males.
III by any chance a queen is killed OF
lost the whole colony would perish
were it not for this wonderful pro
vision of nature. Much perturbed al
first Mt their loss, the bees after some
hours settle down and deliberately
build pear shaped structure known
as queen cell. This Is much larger
than an ordinary cell. rough. irregu.
lar and strong.
In this the selected eggs. or Larvae
are lavishly supplied with royal jel

In which the baby queen literally floats
during her period Of growth. The re
suit Is that certain organs and ova
ries which remain dormant In a work
er bee are perfected. and the new
queen matches out in about fifteer
days, or six days sooner than the
workers--London Answers.

An Educated Echo.

An ordinary echo is a curious thing;
but. according to the statements of a
Frenchman at watering place in the
Pyrenees, one echo on the Franco
Spanish frontier is so far from ordi-
nary that it must have started in Amer
lea. .As soon as you have spoken,
said the Frenchman. who had secured
an audience of wide eyed tourists, You
hear distinctly the voice leap from
rock to rock. from precipice to preci-
pice, and as soon as it has passed the
frontier it assumes the Spanish tongue.
But, yes; have heard it oftenr'

Japan must possess herself OF
Fort Arthur. Apart from con-
-sderations founded upon the
.1a.ainest maxims of war there are
either and more cogent reasons
why she must reduce this strong
Tue!d. So long as it is held by
Russia, or for that matter by any
aggressive power, Manchuria and
oSea will be territory hostile to
Taspan, serving as a base from
vuahich her peace and prosperity

tire contest as involving. not sim

sd, II heir statesmen and diplomats
Ssee that the possession of Port
Arthur will enable them to
z1chieve and to secure through di-
rp1omacy everything they regard
AS necessary to their peace and
security.
These considerations explain
the fierce and persistent assaults

ready these assaults have cost
stfseen quite 1000 men, and may
vet cost as many more. This
.xuiehty sacrifice of human life is
fseroicly made and must stand

Assaults on a fortified and re-
.solute enemy are always bloody
affairs for the assailants and are
not always successful. Our own
civil war presents numerous ex'
szazr,ples of bloody and fruitless as
;saults on fortified positions.
Burnside's repeated assaults on
tire stone-wall protected conted'
crates at Fredericksburg in Dec.
1862 cost him $1,000 men and
defeat. Grants assaults on Vicks-
burg were bloodlly repulsed.
Lee sacrificed the flower of his
army in a fruitless assault on
.1Eeade's position which had but
the scant protection Of hastily
soxvned and slight breasworks.
Grant lost 10, 900 men in twenty
minutes by assault on the confed-
crate works at Cold Harbor.
Persistent aud quickly repeated
