"The one thing you can trust is the judg-
ment Of the people and the one thing you
can't trrs, Ia the power Of the individual
man. This the Governor said without
mentioning anybody by name. Never
let anybody get away with the people
And for some reese or other his hearers
could not refrain from laughing just there,
but the Governor did not notice Il and con-
tinued his address There are some,
he said who have gained regulations as

MURDER AMONG BEES.

If the mother bee of colony is
getting past her work and she can
not be sent off with the swarm in
the usual way the bees will super
sede her. They will deliberately put
her to death and raise another queen
to take her place This state execu-
ton &c The ed ;t .,.;;,;,,,,. ;,,,,,-,,, !.
one Of the most curious and pathetic
things in or out Of bee life. One
probe with a sting would suffice in
the matter, but the honey bee is a
great stickler for the proprieties
The royal victim must be allowed
to meet her fate in the royal way,
and she is killed by caresses, tight
locked in the joint embrace of the
executioners until suffocation bring:
about the victims death.

The man who first concocted
the mixture called "cachou" and
put it on the market probably
was not aware Of the move he
was starting. If he was he
ought to be lynched.
When this sneeze powder was
first sprung on the unsuspecting
public that was last Sept
ember-it was not such a ter
rible thing. OF course, the dis
tribution Of it was merely a
practical joke which has long
since ceased to be classed as
humorous butit was amusing
to see a crowd sneezing unsus-
pectingly and then realize that
there was some irritating powder
in the air. But it has ceased to
be amusing. As soon as the in
nocent victim feels a desire to
sneeze he knows that some per-
son with no originality and no
regard for other peoples com
fort is doing something that he
Tor she is frequently considers
funny.
The effect of this powder is
not only annoying but sometimes
injurious. 1t inhames the eyes
and irritates the nasal cavity and
throat; but mostof the scatterers
of the stuff do not know this.
They are merely those bromides,
for whom a joke never loses its
freshness.

DIETING THEORIES DO GOOD
At Least Have a Tendency to Keep
People from Civilizations Be-
setting Sin, overeatlns.

The question of diet seems just
now to be agitating the civilized
world to an almost unprecedented
degree. People are no longer content
to eat what is set before them and
Law down knife and fork when they
have done. They must be discuss
ing nutritiye values, units of energy,
digestive periods, proteids and carbo-
hvdrates; chemists balance to
stand beside each plate would seem
the appropriate thing, and would
make neat present for a wedding
or for Christmas. Instinct is no
longer trusted it must be helped out
by science. The worst of it is that
science speaks as yet, on this subject,
in ambiguous terms; one may find
ample authority for almost any
dietary one pleases. OF the more
radical views that are winning ad-
herents by the thousand the most
conspicuous are those represented by
Dr. Haig, Horace Fletcher and Prof.
Chittenden. In some respects they
reach the same results, as all three
doctrines, if strictly followed, would
tend to prevent oyereating, which is
one Of the serious risks of a prosper
GUS civilization, free to crafty its
pampered appetites to the full.
