4 BEE STGN.

This has been a very open Fall, and a more beautiful open one is seldom seen. Now the talk is that we are go- ing to have an open Winter. People who have been watching Connecticut wild bees say that they have been stor- ing their honey in exposed places. Bee hunters have been finding honeycombs in nests hanging to the limbs of trees. This is taken to mean that the bees know that it is going to be an open winter, and so they are not careful to put their honey in sheltered places.
 Perhaps it would not be wise to bet heavily on the bees in this case, but owing to the high price of coal and some other things an open Winter will be quite welcome in Connecticut if it happens along. If 1t doesn't some of us will live through whatever Winter comes, soothed and sustained by the hope of Spring. The hope of Spring! What support in all the Winters that weigh on human bodies, minds and sOuIsi

MUCH MURDER IN MAINE,

Maine is troubled by the growth with in her borders of the crime of murder. During the past few months cases of murder or nanslaughter have occurred at West Athens, Falmouth, Milbridge, Rockland, Millinocket, Readfield, Ban gor, Windsor, Old Town and Buxton. The Bangor Commercial thus com ments: It fairly makes one shudder to think of this terrible list of murders having been committed in the quiet, happy, simple communities of our peaceful State in few months. Down to the last of August it was semi-offi- cially announced that since Attorney General Hamlin took his oath of office in January last seven murder cases had taken place, while since then the number has been increased to ten. Do our people realize the surprising condi- ton of society and of morals where ten murders take place in State like our own in as many months? But there is another sad feature connected with the commitment of these dastardly crimes. It is the apparent callousness or hard ening of the public sentiment or moral sense to their prevalence and the ineffi- ciency of the local authorities to deal with them or ferret out their perpetra- tors and bring them to justice.
 The death penalty has been abolished in Maine, but evidently murder hasn't There will be the usual discussion of the question whether the abolition of the death penalty encourages murder and, as usual, the discussion wont set. tie anything. But no wonder a good State like Maine is disturbed by such a condition of things as there is there.

SLEEPING WITH SNAKES.

My present boa always sleeps in my bed round my feet. He is perfectly clean, lies still and very seldom dis turbs me; occasionally he crawls to my face to lick it. I frequently take a python to bed, but at present she is timid, and if she cannot find my feet craWls out of the bed and curls her self on the floor.
 do not myself believe that any py- thon or boa is savage, but they are dreadfully timid, especially from the ill-treatment they receive when first caught and the isery and terror they endure on the voyage. There is anoth- CT thing. They have no eyelids, and on being suddenly uncovered and dragged forth to the light suffer from the glare very acutely. It is best, therefore, tc hide their heads in your hand or un- der your coat. Handle them often and give them water, pressing their heads gently into it.-From Letter by Dr. Mann in My Strange Pets," by Rich ard Bell.

in the woods, something jumped from the ground and seized him violently by the leg. He had stepped Into bear trap. If you ale not a woodsman. this statement may have no special slgnn- canoe to you, but the man in the trap knew that he had met with an appall- ing accident. At the first fierce grip of the devilish jaws, which drove steel spikes into the flesh of his leg to the very bone, he inyoIuntarily screamed out with the pain. The cry echoed through the hills and then there was silence. and with it the realization that no sound he could make would be heard by any human being. In mo- ment of panic he struggled violently, but he only intensified the pain by tearing his flesh. The trap had been made to resist the struggles of bear, and seemed to mock the comparatively feeble efforts of a man. Then, in spite of the torture he suffered, he carefully examined the trap to see if there was not some way in which he could open the jaws. But it was the l work of two men to set that trap, and then 1t could only be done with the aid of an instrument made on purpose. He tried to move it bodily, but it weighed several hundred pounds without count ing the chain and the heavy log to which it was stapled. In spite of the low temperature the precipitation burst from his pores, and in his agony he clenched his fists and dug his nails \ and even his teeth, into the earth and the bark of the nearby trees, Night was l coming on, and a cold wind sprang up, l driving before it a furry of snow which hissed among the fallen leaves 1 By and by he felt easier-the pres sure of the steel jaws upon his leg had stopped the circulation and the limt was becoming numb. Presently the pain ceased altogether. but there was little comfort in the fact, for he knew that the leg was gradually freezing solid. Then he gathered his remain ing strength, and shouted over ant over again, and the despairing erie! echoed back and forth from hill to hill But the only answer was the hoot 0. an owl, and as he realized his probable fate, he broke down and groaned When he left camp that morning h. was a strong man, but hunger expos
 ure, and the mental and physical suf
 fering to which he had been subjected had made him as weak as child Fortunately Nature had mercy on him
 and he tainted, and knew nothing more of the snow which was slowl! shutting off his last chance of rescu
 by hiding him from those who migh
 possibly go out to search for him.

SHALL SHE BE LIMITED ?

There is a queer little trouble in Buff falo. A man tIlere has sued pretty and vivacious actress for $50,O0O dam- ages from an alleged breach of an al- legged promise of marriage. The suit is peculiar in that the complainant claims that the defendant proposed marriage to him, taking advantage of a Heap year" privilege, that he promptly ac- cepted the proffer, and that she now refuses to make good" in fact, per- sists in treating the whole affair, in cluding the suit, as a joke.
 Some men who have tried to treat their promise to marry as joke have found it very serious matter, and 1t will be interesting to notice how the pretty and vivacious actress finds hers. When a woman asks a, man to marry her and then changes her mind, should her change of mind be considered in the courts as a mans change of mind would be? Does 1t make any real dif- ference in law, manners or morals what a woman does about such a mat ter? Can her free spirit be confined or limited by anything? If it can be, is she having one of her very import ant rights?

The rich can ride in chaises. Not content with one private car, which at the time 1t was turned out was said to be the finest ever constructed, c. M. Schwab, of the Steel trust, has con- tracted with the Pullman company for three private cars to cost $6O,O00 each. Two of the cars will be for sleeping purposes and each will contain eight bedrooms, with open brass beds, bath tubs and washstands. The third car will contain the dining room, with a capacity for thirty people, a library, buffet and observation compartment. One end of the cars will be set apart for baggage. These cars will be used in addition to MT. Schwab's present car, making four rolling palaces for his special train. It is estimated that each trip of this special train between New York and Pittsburg will cost MT. Schwab $500 and between New York and Chicago s1,00O.

Farewell, PObie, we shall miss you With those SDectacles you wear, But we'll not weep much because vol Have back seat over there. GOOdby, SObie, leave the precincts Where your word was law before, And get back among the has-beens, You possess a pull no more. From the pomp and frNm the glitter That were dear to you retire; Put your heels upon the fender,
 Toast your shins before the fire. And be glad when shouting people Their unhindered ways pursue That they are not wildly bringing Bombs and things to throw at you. In the long and chilly evenings
 When you sit back there alone, You can have sweet recOlleetions
 Of the graft that was your own! May the ghOstly forms of martyrs Never haunt your dreams at night May remOrse come not to plague you Or destroy your appetite. Farewell, Pobie, we shall miss you, The tongue-twisting name you bear Will henceforth subject the cables
 To but little wear and tear! Goodby, PObie, take your sayings
 And get out, skedaddle, shoo! You are numbered with the has-beens, They've attached a can to you.

PLAIN TALK BY 4 RUSSIAN.

There is some pretty free speech in Russia now. For instance, General Kireyef, a soldier of high repute in St. Petersburg, points out that Russia has been driven back from the Pacific Ocean for many years if not forever. Her place has been taken by Japan. In this the general perceives temporary humiliation, but nothing to tmperil the real future interests of Russia. He goes on to argue that the doctrine that Russia must strive to reach an ice free port is "one of the most danger ous delusions for our foreign policy" Open ports in the Pacific and elsewhere are necessary for Germany, France and England, because these countries have really important commercial interests in the Pacific, and because they have to struggle with each other for con- tinuous and quick export Of products and population: but the position of Russia, he says, is very different. He then proceeds to ask: What have we to transport by the Trans-Siberian railroad to the ice-free port on the Yel- low sea, for the Japanese, the Chinese, the Americans or the Australians? Where in, our country do we find Over production and density of population? Is not Siberia still empty? And who is there to prevent our subjects from settling in China, Japan, Oceania, Aus tralia, and America? For that there is no necessity for an ice-free port. If our products should be unexpectedly found by the Japanese, Chinese, or Poly nesians better and cheaper than the products of other countries they will

be readily purchased, no matter from what port they come. Switzerland sells her watches and Belgium her ma chimes without having any ports or fleets. Russia's true field of activity, he concludes, is in southeastern Eu- rope, and all her energies should be concentrated in that direction"
 Perhaps a country az big as. Russia does need an ice-free port on the Pa- cific, but General Kireyef's assertion that she does not is interesting.

 Bishop Joseph Winner of Louisiana, and Bishop Richard Wilmer, of Ala bama, are cousins and intimate friends. In their travels in Italy one summer the Bishop of Alabama was pointing out with enthusiasm certain architec- tural beauties. The Bishop Of Louisi- ana was bored. He said: "It's all very fine, Cousin Dick, but, nevertheless, a rich field fragrant with the odor of new nlown hay, would please me bet ter" And the Bishop of Alabama re- piled: Cousin Joe, there's not an ass in all Italy that would not agree with you."

Gilbert was lunching at a country club when he found himself surrounded by six or seven clergymen who had been on a motor tour of the country there abouts.

Gilbert how he felt "in such grave and rever- end company" 'Like a lion in den of Daniels" was the reply.
