The bee keepers of a certain fruit
growing section of California once got
into an alteration about pasturagc fcr
their bees, and, as Z result, bee Keep

State.
During the next few years the fruit
crops fell off fully one-lalf. The qucs-
ton was investigated by the alarmed
growers. and it was found that the de-
crease in fruit had been c~o-incide1t

Are the Br,tish peterIoratince

In consequence Of startling reports
brought to the, War Office by recruiting
officers that the British as q race are de.
teriorating in physique, a committee OF
the Privy Council was recently appointed
to investigate.
The necessity for the inquiry is empha'
sized by a paper which was read recently
before the society for the study of inebriety
by DR.. Robert Jones, medical superntend.
emit of the Claybury asylum.
DR.. Jones does not mince matters. he
believes that the deterioration exists and
that it is largely due to intemperance.
In support of his theory he gave some
figures, Of which the following are the most
striking:
OF the 10000 cases OF insanity at pres:
ent in a~syluEs probably y 600 male and
5000 female cases are the dAect or indirect
outcome of alcoholic excess.
Of the 35,9l6 persons admitted to the
london County Council asylums7 between
1893 and 1902, ,t%wenty-one per cent. OF the
men and eleven per cent. OF the women
owed their insanity to liquor alone.
Alcohol, DR.. Jones believes to be devltaI'
ling not only to the individual, but also
to the race. The community loses by its
interference with the working power OF
the skilled craftsman and the artisan, and
the presence of the inebriate injuries the
younger generation directly by neglect and
cruelty. and indirectly by evil influence
and example.

The Crusade In Brief

The outlook for temperance was never
more encouraging. 1t occupies a larger
place in the public eye than at any pre-
vious day.
Herr Ernst kraus, the German tenor in
the corps of the Metropolitan Opera
House in New York City, is o. record as
saving that q beer drinker cannot be a
great singer.
The Liquor Dealers League has raised
5 1000, 600 to place ten picked men as lobby.
lists in Congress and in every State Legls-
lature in the United States to secure the
repeal OF all restrictive or prohibitory laws
and the passage Of laws favoring the trade.
The beer that makes the brewer is the
beer that makes the buns.
A son of q drinking man OF woman has
less chance of health and active mental
faculties than Of total abstinence parents.
Statistics show alarming facts in this par
ticular.
An eminent doctor in New York City
found over seventy per cent. OF the chii-
dren of drinking parents afflicted with or
game or nervous diseases in a large number
examined.
In Ohio during the past year there have
been ten men executed for murder, and
five more c~onvicts are awaiting the day of
their execution. This is a terrible record.
and it is. without doubt, chiefly due TO the
demoralizing. underwriting work Of the
saloons. says the Religious Telescope.

When Columbus Owned Up.

1.-The best story l v heard about
Columbus" said Nat Goodwin to a
group Of story tellers the other night,
was told to me by an Englishman IN
the smoking room of a liner. 1t ran
something like this:
The King of Spain asked Columbus
II he could discover America. and COL
umbus said he could if the King would
give him a ship. So he got a ship and
sailed owe. the sea in the direction he
thought America ought to be found.
The sailors quarreled, and said they
didn't believe there was any such
place. After many days the pilot says:
columbus. 1 see land

THE HONEY BEE.
The shor and Very Busy Life Of This
Small Insect.

The life of q honey bee is a very
short one and a very busy one, too.
Very few of them live to exceed the
age of forty-fve days, except during
their time Of Information in winter;
yet in this short period much is ac-
complished.
The first two weeks Of a bees life
are spent almost entirely inside the
hive nursing larvae. building comb and
doing Homework in general, taking
only, a short fight on sunny afternoons
to strengthen its wings and mark the
location of it's home. The next three
or four weeks are spent in roaming
the fields in quest of honey. pollen and
propolis and carrying them to the hive.
They are busy necessarily and soon
wear themselves out by constant toll.
By excessive flying their wings be-
come shredded and they drop to the
ground while journeying to and from
the fields, where they crawl about
and soon perish: very few bees, in
deed, die inside the hive.
The honey bee has numerous habits,
some of which are good and others not
quite so good. Still. / myself, for one,
am glad that every female bee is
equipped with a good, sharp sting. If
it were not so, how could such small,
helpless creatures protect themselves
and their homes from. nan and beast?
The race would soon become extinct,
for the honey bee has many enemies.
It would also be necessary for the
KEEPER of bees to keep a constant watch
Oh his hives to prevent them from be-
ing looted. AS it is, the bees them
selves do their own sentinel duty, and
DO one has yet come around and found
them all asleep. After a hard day of
toll the beekeeperF can lay his weary
self down to rest and feel quite con-
fdent that the bees will hold the fort
until morning.
Bees gather three products, honey,
pollen and propolis. Honey is their
staff Of life. 1t is estimated that a
colony of bees requires about seventy
five pounds of honey for food in ayear.
They are capable of gathering twice
this amount and more. Therefore, all
the honey the bees store above what
they are able to consume is useless to
them. and is the beekeeper's share of
the spoils. I myself have taken as
much as 100 pounds from one hive in a
single season. Bees also gather pollen
and propolis., Pollen is the farina,
which is commonly called bee-bread.
1t is mixed with honey and fed to the
larva, or immature bee. Propolis is a
resinous substance when is gathered
from trees and shrubs and is. used in
gluing tightly all cracks and crevices
in the hives. Bees also carry consid-
cradle water to their hives during
the breeding ACCOMPLISHMENTS

devotee of the theatre and at every op-

he attended was The Johnstown

upon the great Pennsylvania disaster.

"And," added Steinhausen, "you, no
doubt, think that long enough"
Il did not say So" was the rejoin-
der.

Rittmeister, growing desperate as they
approached the grounds of the villa

He shrugged his shoulders.

''Some subjects attract like a lode

them to a side entrance Of the garden.
They were nearly across it before
she spoke, and it was to say: Il will

They had reached a door opening on
the courtyard, passing through which
she turned, bowed. and, leaving the
Rittmeister planted. she ran lightly up
the steps where he had first seen her,
and. turning at the top, bowed again.
"Auf weidersehen!" cried Steinhau-
sen from below. 1--WE shall meet at
dinner"
She smiled and vanished through the
French window which led into her
sanctum.
Steinhausen stood a minute looking
after her, then muttering to himself,
Have l lost my senses?" went slowly
into the house and assembled to his own
chamber.

THE GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
THE VICE OF NTEMPERkNcE.

Teetotalism and Longevity Figures
ment in Favor of Total Abstinence For
the Best and Longest Lives.
We desire to call special attention to the
following figures which this letter Of Mr..
Whittaker's to the editor of the Morning
Leader so strikingly set forth. They are
an unanswerable argument in favor of to-
tai abstinence for the best and longest
lives:
TO: the Editor Of the Morning Leader:
Sir-ln your issue of Saturday last DR..
Selfe Bennett is reported to have said:
l challenge the figures on which Mr.. T.
P. Whitaker, M. p, bases his statement
that during the strenuous working period
OF life a mans chances of longevity are
forty per cent. better If he is q teetotaler
than otherwise.
The figures referred to were those of the
mortality experienced by the life Office of
which ! have the honor to be the chairman
and managing director. They cover a pc
Rod of sixty years, and they deal with
something like 10000 lives, among which
there were about $4,000 deaths.
The records and statistics have been
most accurately and carefully kept since
lS4l, under the supervision of some of the
most eminent actuaries of their time, and
have been circulated and widely discussed
among the insurance authorities of Amer
lea and Australia.
DR.. Bennett may, if he chooses, chal-
lenge the conclusions which I! draw from
them. but when he challenges the figures
themselves land he is the first man, as far
as ! AM aware. to do SOY he challenges
figures which are beyond dispute.
These figures snow the rate of mortality
per cent. per annum among the abstainers
and the non.abstainers from the use of In.
toxicating liquors who have been assured
in our life Office. Commenting on them I
said:
1t will be observed that during the siren.
nous working years of manhood. from
twenty-five to sixty years of age, the an.
nual mortality rates among the abstainers
were, on the average, forty per cent: lower
than among the non-abstainers. That is
an norm difference.
The figures upon which that remark was
based are as follows:

Heart on Right Side.

An autopsy was held on the body Of
twelve-year-o.d Amy Pine at her home, in
North Massachusetts, avenue, Atlantic
City, N. j.. because she died from what
was considered a peculiar illness. The
child had been a sufferer for years, ana
vain. The autopsy showed that the little
ones heart was on the right side. and in
precisely the same position as it should
have been on the left, and the left lung was
somewhat larger than the right. The re-
manning organs were normal. The physi.
clans who had attended the girl announced
that death was directly due to pneumonia.
