Self Denial Neei4.

The Salvation Army self denial week
seems to be now Incorporated amongs,
our national undertakings. 1t seems
almost superiiuous to explain the OBJ
.jcct Of this annual movement, but fol
the sake of our readers who may not
be intimately acquainted with the pro
ject, we might explain that for one
week each year all salyationists agree
to do not only without all luNuries, bat
even some of the necessaries Of life, in
order to help swell the general fund in
aid of home and foreign utissionary
work of the organization.
This year the date has been fixed
from April l6 to April 23.
Not only members OF the Salvation
Army, but almost the innumberable
friends of this movement, are interest
ed in the effort on account OF its being
the first to be held under the new com
mander, Miss Eva Booth. Miss Booths
magnificent work in Canada, Great
Britain and elsewhere is III itself a
pledge that all money derived from the
work will be expended to the utmost
advantage, in behalf of the poor in this
country and the missionary work
abroad.

BELLS nr,d Bees.

1t is a foolish notion to suppose that
the ringing OF bells or 'tanging" of tin
pans will cause Il swarm of bees to set
tle The real origin of this custom
dated back to the reign of Alfred the
Great, who, in order to prevent dis
putes regarding the ownership of a
swarm, ordered that the owner should
always ring bell when his bees
swarmed, and ever since then the good
farmers wife has been rushing out
with ringing bells whenever the bees
swarmed, and the fact that they set
tlei verified, in her own mind, the be
lief that the bell did it.

At Los Angeles the writer saw Mrs.

Hot Springs, but more recently of

Mr.. Ream, the painter who was once
a resident of Hot Springs, is doing we'll

earlier residents here.
Mrs. II. ID. Clark and the children
are happily located at Monrovia,
quiet but beautiful little suburb of
Los Angeles, where they have rented a
neat little "bungalc" with orange
groves all about. The writer picked
some elegant oranges s-the first time
he ever got hold of real live orange
on a tree-from tree within six feet
OF the door of Mrs. Clark's abode. She
and the children are in good health,
and since Mr.. Clark is visiting them
we imagine they are supremely happy
n. Eisey was among the first we
found at Los Angeles and he had so
familiarized himself with the attrac-
tions and surroundings that he was
able to show us d pretty good time at
the various resorts about the city and
the beach points. He got us into &
bathing outfit that would make Hot
Springs bathing suit look like winter
costume and then he stood on the
beach and laughed at our awlwardness
in salt water, where the waves and the
water are SO big that the land looks
mighty small. But we think we got
more fun out Of it than he did and are
satisfied with our experience. We have
promised not to tell how some of the
ladies of the party tried to gather
shells from the sea shore. The ocean
seems to heave more than most pud-

While the messenger was gone for
magistrate Captain Harris got in to
an alteration with the mate of the
Bessie Jones on the wharf, and at
one time drew a knife on him, but
that incident passed off without con-
sequence. Later on Captain Harris
became impatient and said he was
tired of feoling and waiting around
there and that he was going. He
went on board his boat and ordered
his crew to weigh auchor aud get
under sail, and they began to do so.
The mate of the Bessie Jones. who
had also gone on his boat, ordered

nothing. 81 have reduced the cost
OF living to a science," SAYS Seaman.
"Seven cents day is my limit, and

3 cents for hearty meal in the
middle of the day. For breakfast I
have coffee and crackers; for dinner

supper, bread, butter and tea. I

NORFOLK AND THE RAP.
PAHANNOCK TRADE.
CFrom Norfolk Landmarks }

That was timely and important
letter which We published yesterday
from Dunnsville, Essex County, over
the signature of Essex" Our cor
respondent is greatly interested in
the trade situation in the counties
tributary to the Rsppahannock river.
He says, as all Intelligent persons
must admit, that it is a shame for
Baltimore to be monopolizing this
magnificent business when Virginia
port is nearer and ought TO be more
convenient. s
Essex" believes that the failure
of Norfolk and Portsmouth mer-
chants to build up a creditable trade
with the Rappahannock district is
not due entirely to their own slug.
gishness in seeking orders. he be-
lieves that the schedule afforded by
the Weems Line, with it's occasional
boat to Norfolk, hasa great deal to
do with the trouble. Yhis schedule.
inconvenient as itis anyhow, accord
lng to our correspondent, is sub
ject to frequent and demoraIizing
changes.
Norfolk, to break Baltimore's
monopoly of Northern Neck river
trade, must do as "Essex" saws.
whether the result is accomplished
by pressure on transportation lines
already In existence or by the estab.
lishment Of new ones. That is, the
facilities of water transportation be-
tween Norfolk and the Rappahan-
mock must be as good as those from
the Rappahannock to Baltimore; the
boat must be up-to. date, the schedule
must be practical, the trips must be
frequent, and the rates must be reas
enable. "No little half-tug or half
canal boat" will do, as the writer
from Dunnsville puts it. The peo-
pie of the Northern Neck will not
prefer the second-rate boat to the
first-rate one.
tits noted in this convincing letter
that our port had as great a pre-
ponderance of the Northern Neck
trade in the days of sailing ships as
Baltimore has in the days of steamers.
The prize is an immense one. Every
day fine boat touches at the Rap
pahannock wharves on its way to
Baltimore, and some days there are
two or three such boats. We
have not the slightest doubt that
Norfolk and Portsmouth can get
their fair proportion of this valuable
Northern Neck business if they will
go after it with the proper sigor and
liberality.

for child of his age. For one
month he has had no coffee and his
heart action has been reduced to 100

For two years the child has been
drinking from nine to twelve cups Of
strong coffee every day. He began to
complain of pains as if needles were
sticking in his heart, and for a year
has slept scarcely three hours a night.

the coffee he desired, until a physi.
clan saw him and advised that he be
sent to Hospital.

A Thrilling Exp~rIe,c.-

A young civil engineer named Fox
had thrilling experience not long ago
while experimenting part of the con.
struction OF the great bridge over the
Zambezi river at Victoria falls, Afri-
ca. He had descended to the waters
edge, and to assist him to ascend a
rope was thrown TO him. As he was
being drawn upward the rope was
dragged through a huge. greasy fun
gus. Both the rope and the young on
gineer's hands became fabricated. He
began 10 slip and then lost his grip en-
urely. He slid rapidly down the entire
length Of the rope. eighty feet, and
then twenty feet through the air be-
yond- He would have been dashed TO
pieces az the bottom OF the precipice
had the fork OF tree not caught him
and held him. Here he was rescued
with much difficulty. No bones were
broken Even this experience did not
cause Engineer Fox to lose his nerve.
for he holds the distinction OF being
the first man to be carried across the
river on the first cable slung, making
the trip In a basket.
