Real Use Of the Bees sting.

The bees sting is a trowel not a
rapier." said a nature student, as he
helped himself to honey. 1T is an
exGujsitely delicate little trowel with
which the bee finishes off the honey
cell. injects little preservative inside
and seals It up
with its trowel-like sting the bee
puts the final touches on its dainty
and wonderful work, With this sting
it pats and shapes the honey,ce)i as a
mason pats and shapes a row of
brick. Before sealing up the cell it
drops a wee bit Of poison into the
honey. This is formic acid. without
it honey would spoil
Nest of us think the bees sting,
with its poison, is weapon only. It
is aweapon secondarily. but primarily
It IS a magic trov-el, a trowel from
whose end, as the honey cells are

PERFUME IN THERAPEUTICS.
Curious Effects of doors on Certain
People

1t has long been known that certain
odoriferous exhalations can exert d
powerful influence on particularly sus
ceptiblc individuals, even producing
marked nervous disturbances. 1t has
been shown that perfumes or odors
produce nervous and respiratory re
fiexes, as well as urticaria and vertigo.
These manifestations are rarely sin
gle, but combined or alternate. Odors
will also produce a decided impress,

Odors. whether agreeable or dis
agreeable, are not causes of disease
in the sense generally taken They
may disorder certain healthy functions
by impairing nervous energy, by di-
minishing wholesome respiration. and
thus creating a predisposition to at

it may seem, scavengers, collectors

OXFORD WINE CLUES.

A Cecil Rhodes student was talking
about the wine clubs at the Uuiyer
sity OF Oxford.
They are ornate things he said.
I. but I don't think they would be toll
Grated in America.
These wine clubs have often a
special uniform. The members wear
dress coats Of red, or bright blue. or
green. faced with silk of lighter
shade Their wa:stcoats are white,
with gold or silver buttons. Their
trousers are striped down the side
with the color of the club,
1T is a pleasant sight 10 see a
wine club at it's evening meeting.
The boys, with their bright faces, look
well in their rich gay uniforms. The
huge table of polished mahogany has
no cloth, and on its surface as ina pool
you can see your reflection. There
towers in the center of the table &
superb 4esserr. a mountain of tropical
fruit, and down the BOARD in rows
flicker the tiny flames of many silver
Cigar-lghters.
The wine has been preceded by a
dinner somewhere. Now everybody
is happy. Chairs are drawn up. The
butler brings in a dozen bottles of a
good vintage. with Havana cigars and
Egyptian cigarets- The fun begins.
The elegance of these wine clubs
is what impressed me-the beauty OF
the club silver, the good looks on
the men in their light uniforms. the
excellence OF the wines and Of the
tobacco, the absence of 2ny beastlt
ness.

Property Loss $3SO.OOO.OOO.

SAN FRANCISCO, May ). - The
streets in the burned district north
and south of Market street are rap
idly being occupied by temporary
tracks of steam railroads for the pur.
pose of carrying away the debris and
bringing in building materials. The
engines are putting through the streets
and thousands of men are attacking
the debris. This section will soon
present an animated scene, out of
which will grow the new city.
While it is difficult to give exact
figures as to losses and insurance in
connection with the fire which devast.
ated such large portion OF San
Francisco, close estim ates have been
compiled which show the actual loss
to be close to $3.50, 900. 900.
A mass OF gold and silver, valued
at $500, melted by the fire in the
store Of Tai Sing, Chinese merch an,
at Washington and Dupont street,
and which had disappeared from the
ruins, has been recovered by the po.
lice at Broadway and Stockton streets
where it was found hidden in the ruins.
The gold and silver was melted from
metal articles, and made mass three
feet long by six inches thick.
Within the past y hours there have
been 576 safes and vaults opened by
permission In the district east O
Powell and north of Market streets
