The Bees and the Candy Man.

A commercial traveller in North Da-
kota was carrying a large line of sam
pies OF candy and sugar. and it was
necessary for him to drive across
country with team between towns.
The driver and the traveller noticed
that a good many bees were about.
Arriving at his destination the trav-
eler visited a prospective customer.
He opened up the sample case and
was astonished to find about 200 bees
at work on the candy and other
sweets. The bees were angry at the
interruption. but nobody was hurt.

Belgian Coal Miners.

While coal is mined at a greater
depth in Belgium than in most coun-
tries, the number of miners killed in
accidents is less in that country than
in any other. For the ten-year period
from 1891 to 1900 the number of IA
talities per 10000 workmen was 1854
per annum. In the metallic-ore mines
the number OF workmen who have
been killed by accident is one-thrid
that in the coal mines.

The Thirteen Superstition.

According to reliable authorities the
popular superstition that attaches to
the number 13 owes it's origin to the
story of The Last Supper" For un-
reckoned centuries the superstition
has been universal that II Is persons

one Of them will die before the year
IS out This doubtless comes from
the Biblical feast when Christ sat
down at table with his II disciples.
