why Bees work In the Dark.

Bees go out all day gathering honey,
and work at night in the hive, build
ing their combs as perfectly as if an
electric light shone there all the time.
"Why do they prefer to work in the
dark" is often asked. Every one
knows that honey is Il liquid with no
solid sugar in it. After standing it
gradually assumes Il crystalline ap-
pearance or graduates and ultimately
becomes Il solid mass. Honey has
been cXpcrimentally inclosed in well
corked TASKS. some Of which were
kept in perfect darkness, while the
others were exposed to the light The
result was that the portion exposed
to the light soon crystalliZed, while
that kept in the dark remained I'M
changed. Heuce we see why the bees
are so careful to obscure the glass
windows which are placed in their
hives. The existence of the young
depends on tie liquidity of the sac
charine food presented to them. and IL
light were allowed access to this I
would in all probability prove fatl
to the inmates of the hive.

1t is old wool redressed by scientific
and clean methods. 1t is component
of most of the wooden garments of to-
day. The world does not grow enough
wool to enable us to have a constant
supply of new wooden garments except
with the aid of shoddy. 1t is shoddy
that has enabled the workingman TO
buy Il new suit of clothes at the price
of Il weeks wage. In the olden days
an old all wooden garment was so eX'
pensive that it had to last its owner
many years unless he We're Il wealthy
man. 1t is better hygiene for man
to buy two new shoddy suits year
than to buy an all wool garment which
must last him two years. Most of the
clothes we wear, in fact. contain an
element of shoddy and, so far from be-
ing the worse for it, are the better

In former times the punishment of
The bagno Oath. one of the most
rleverly cruel infections ever devised
by an official of the torture chamber
was administered in Italy, probably in
Venice, where the water of the lagoons
played so prominent part in its penal
system. The punishment was as fol-
lows: The prisoner was placed In a
vat the sides of which were slightly in
excess of the average height of man.
In order to hold in check the rising tide
Of a supply of water which ran into
the vat in constant stream the crimi-
nal was furnished with a scoop with
which to bale out the water as fast as
it came in. The respite from death by
immersion thus obtained was more or
less prolonged, according to the powers
of endurance possessed by the victim,
but imagine the mortal torture, the eX-
hausting and even hideously grotesque
efforts, the incessant and pitiless toll
by night and day, to stave off the dread
moment fast approaching, when, over
come by sleep and fatigue, he was un
able to struggle any longer against his
fate

cigars Few Can Afford.

"a long, low strip of land, q valley
between high hills, lies five miles out
side of Havana. and there" said a
cigar salesman. 1.-THE best tobacco in
the world is grown. The name Of the
place is Abajo, and the Vuelta Abajo
crops are always bought up two or
three years in advance of their plant,
ing. They yield only $4,000 cigars an.
nually. These cigars sometimes sell as
high as $3.50 a hundred-$1.50 apiece
Vuelta Abajo cigars are only smoked
by kings and billionaires. There are
many fake Vuelta Abajos on the mar

can never be mistaken, for there is no
other tobacco in the world with an
aroma at once so powerful and so del.

WOODS FOR SPECIAL USES.
Revival of wood street Paving.

Washington TIC forest service has

uses ANA has thi' season taken up coop

Wood paving has been experimental

disfayor. Wood paving was quiet.
cheap and comfortable. but it soon
wore into holes ana rutS. and the alb

sanitary, while the wood speedily de-
cayed and had to be replaced. In re-
cent years, however. both knowledge
and practice have improved. and it is
now claimed that with the right selec-
ton and treatment of woods and the
right method of laying wood paving
can be successful.
COoperaEe Woods Scarce
The depletion of the supply of raw

of recommending Substitutes which are
more aDun liant than the species now
used in cooperage.
The amount of wood annually used
for packing baskets and boxes is much
greater than is generally realized.
There is hardly Il business that would
not be unfavorably affected by seri-
Gus shortage in packing box material.
The growing scarcity and consequent
high price of most of the woods now
used make necessary a search for other
suitable woods.

GOAT MARKET.
Kansas City at Present the Largest
In This Country.

Largest
Ia This Country.
There is growing interest in the
goat industry, and many are marketed
from time to time in Chicago, but Kan
sas City is at present the largest goat
market in the United States This is
mainly because it is the most conyen-
lent point, all things considered, for
selling them, as the great bulk of the
Ansora goats are bred and raised in
the southwestern portions of the Unit.
ed States. New Mexico and Texas are
the homes OF these animals largely, ana
1t is safe to say that the Kansas City
packing houses slaughter more goats in
the course OF Il year than all the other
markets Of the country combined. The
carcasSes are usually sold as mutton"
after the goats are slaughtered, and it
Is hard to find Il market where goat
meat is sold under its proper name.
The wethers and does pass for mutton,
while the kid goats and yearlings pass
for lambs. The wethers ana does are
usually sold at low prices after being
prepared for the market, but fat weth-
er goats will dress out fully as we'll as
fat sheep
Market Prices.
Ordinarily wether goats are sold in
the market at from 81 to $3.50 per hun
dred pounds below the prices paid for
sheep Good Angora does for breeding
purposes are worth from So to 50 per
head, registered does selling from 50
upward. Good young bucks sell at so
upward, but a fair grade can be pur.
chased at $40 TO SIS. The slick or COM
mon goats. meaning those that do not
shear mohair, will sell for nearly as
much for slaughtering purposes as the
AngOraS, but for breeding purposes
they fail to bring such high figures. In
fact very nice bunch of slick does
can be purchased from $150 to 50 per
head, and these are fully as desirable
for brush cleaners. They seem to pre-
fer sprouts, leaves and weeds to any
description of grass, and they are great
animals for cleaning up timber lands.
MOhair Handled In Boston.
There is not much of market for
mohair in the west, and practically the
entire clip of the United States is han
died in Boston. Where there are enough
goat men in the west and northwest to
form a pool they place their mohair to-
gether. and the buyers from the east
make bids, the highest bidder securing
it. At the present time good. clean mo-
hair sells from % to SO cents per
pound, and a good grade of goat will
shear from four to six pounds from
twelve months growth of fleece

Harley saw Mr. and Mrs. Crayson

the one glance. he entered the car and
sought his place. Always. like the
trained soldier. he located his camp. OF

there with his fellows until the train was
well clear Of the city and the struggling
suburbs that hung to it like a ragged

it was necessary if he would have any
time for thought or rest. Harley ap-
preached the compartment. expecting TO
be announced by the porter but a yelled
lady in the seat next TO il rose up be-
fore him. She lifted the veil. which was
not a disguise, instead being intended
merely as "a protection against the dust
that one gathers on a railroad journey.
and Harley stopped in surprise.
And so you see. Mr.. Correspondent
she said. that your farewell was use

twelve hours. I wanted to tell you last

She gave Harley a look which he could
not interpret as anything bat saucy. and
his attention was called again by the
bold. fine curve OF her chin. and he was
saying to himself. a wild life in the
mountains surely develops courage and
self-reliance, but at the expense of the
more delicate and more attractive quail
ties Then he said aloud, and politely:
I see no reason. Miss Morgan, why
YOU should have credited me with a
