| forgot himself and let his FIRE go
out. He let it go out about the
time the men with the saw cut
another length from the tree.
Incidentally as the FIRE went out
the bees followed the same move
ment.
Here and there bits of pitch pine
had been lighted to make fires to
help to see the work. The fires al
so helped the bees to see. They
flew around TO investigate things,
and crawled in places they did
not care to fly.
A bee has no genial disposition.
Even in a wet, dark night he
does not liven up in any sunshiny
fashion. To be sure he is a william
under certain conditions, but like
the mosquito, the meanest feature
about him is that abonlinable
threat. Analysed and really tried
out bee sting is no worse than
lots of other affections. But you
let a dozen or so disgruntled bees
get to buzzing round your ears and
lodging in your face and jabing at
your fingers, and you are either a
philosophical old bee man or a
wonderfully selfpossessed man if
You do not take to the trees.
That IS about what the bee
wants. If you stand still he seems
to believe you not guilty. But
start TO run, and he looks on the
movement as proof of the crime.
1t was interesting to see Father
Abraham and old Jasper stay at
the hollow tree and dig out the
honey and dirt and smashed bees,
while the younger members of the
outfit peeled their coats off, and
tanned the air with their clothes.
Without doubt hunting the
honey bee is a PASTORAL and fas-
cinating pursuit while you are
chasing around among the flowers
in the light of day trailing a bee
from the flower TO his lair. But
when you have found where he
stores his goods, and come TO him
in the night with mask and
jimmy and attempt to do a Job Of
amateur burglary, the tune
changes.
The bee is a good fighter, and
his style Of team work is excellent.
Like the colored troops of the
Civil War, he never knows when
TO stop and he will fight long al
ter the battle IS over if he can find
any OF The enemy left.
By and by the tree was rifed.
By the torchlights we picked
way through the wet grass and
dripping trees until a road was
reached, and there, by the mid
night cheer Of smelling lantern,
we divided the accommodations as
far as they were Invisible. Each
fellow had his own wet feet and
trousers, and the bee sting could
not be portioned out so MANY to
each head. But the dead bees,
brood, and pollen and the rotten
wood were more easily shared out.
Several quarts of honey were
strained out the next day by all of
the maruaders, and in course of
time the swelling went down; but
right this minute, down at the
hives below the shop, is ten times
as much honey in good clean pound
sections waiting until the bees
have filled all the sections to be
taken off without trouble and in
shape to go directly to the table in
the clean comb.
When you hunt the honey bee
It is less trouble and more prof.
to go right down in the yard where
the bee stands are, and I am not
fooling you either.
Hunting it out in the woods is
romantic. That is about all.

Of the swamp, and after he came
up TO the fence line I was nosing
around down there to see how
many more posts we needed and
saw paper pined TO a tree with
wooden pegs.
On it was written:
This tree belongs
to J. Maybe, and
whatever is in it.
Keep away from
this bee tree.
Jasper Maybe"
Where did YOU get that,
Jasper, I asked him.
oh, just done heard dem
bees hummin' and tummin',
and l looked up and dere dey was
in two yards Of me.
So Jasper asked if I had any
objections to letting him cut the
tree, and l told him to cut it O any
time. With due regard for the
lords proprietors he informed me
that a man on whose land the
tree is found has a property right,
according to custom, in the tree,
and ne suggested that l 60 along
when he gathered the honey.
You wouldn't fly in the face Of
custom established for two or three
centuries, would you?
So when Jasper cut the tree one
rainy night I fell in with the boy
of the house who is the big toad
in every puddle on the plantation.
and following with the Old Father
Abraham, who ranks next to the
clock about the place for reliability
the being always ready to 60, we
went down into the darkness and
and wet wood, armed with buckets,
axes, cross-cut saw, and a bee
veil that the boy used when he
works about the hives at the
house.
1t was dark enough when we
reached the scene of action, but
the bees had not gone to bed yet.
A lot of them were hanging around
out Of doors, clustering near the
entrance, which was not above
four feet from the ground.
In the good old days the old
daddies used to think so fine in
the hair, when we cut a bee tree
we took all kinds of luck. Now
the boy Of the house showed us
some Yankee tricks.
He keeps smoker to discour-
age the bees that want sting, and
he fired that thing up with dead
wood and old waste, and turned a
stream Of smoke on the bees at the
enteranCe to the tree-hive for all
the world like any modern bee
proceeding. He smoked them
until they said they had plenty,
thanks, and went inside. Then
two lusty-yeoman took the saw
and sawed the tree down, and
when it fell the boy with hrs
smoker smoked at the bottom Of
the hollow tree and the bees said
they perfered to stay inside.
Dreadfully tame and unromantic
isn't it.
But the exciting part of the
story did not begin with the ar
rival at the tree.
The honey hunters sawed
length from the tree and split it.
The bees had been smoked farther

DIVORCE MILL IS
GRINDING BIC GR|ST

The number of divorces applied for
and granted on the ground of desertion
appears to be greatly on the increase
in Honolulu, anywhere from three to
six or eight libels a day being filed in
the CircOurt Court. 1t is very rarely
that divorce is denied in the local
courts, in spite of the effort made by
the last Legislature to amend the laws
SO as to make divorce more difficult to
obtain.
Nine times out Of ten when a divorce
is granted, a marriage follows it almost
immediately, the nuptial knot often
being tied the same day the divorce is
decTeed.
There was the usual list yesterday.
One of these was remarkable in that

complaint that her husband, Tom Pratt,
to whom she was married in 1872, dc

HIGH CHEFESS
LAID TO REST
(From Thursdays Advertiser.)

Impressive in the extreme were the
funeral services held yesterday after
noon at the Roman Catholic cathedral
over the remains of the late Mrs. A.
@. Simerson, wife of Captain Simerson
of the Inter-Island steamer Mauna Loa.
Just at $3.50 O'Clock the bell began
tolling, and few minutes later the
funeral cortege entered the portals Of
the church.
The casket was borne to the sane
tuary, where, surrounded by lighted
candles, it reposed during the services.
On either side of the coffin lay brok.

words rs. s. Mauna Loaf and the
other rs. s. Mauna Kea." The coffin
was banked with beautiful floral pieces
among them a floral pennant in light
blue, red and white flowers. This pen.
nant bore the number 81 in the center
and was a token of remembrance from
Harbor No. 81, American Association
of Masters, Mates and Pilots, of which
Captain Simerson is member.
The services were very brief, but
impressive. At the door the coffin was
met by the waiting priest, as provided
in the liturgy of the Church of Rome
The remains were borne to the high
altar where the funeral service was
read, and then the march started fol

BEFORE WE CAN q

use them, iron and gold must
first be got out of the ore. The
game principle applies to cod liv-
er oil. Its virtues are not in its
fatty matters much less in its
sickening taste and smell. No
consumptive, or sufferer from any
other wasting disease, was ever
greatly benefited by the so-called
"plain" cod liver oil. The shock
it gives to the nerves, the repul-
sion and disgust it excites in the
stomach, the outrages it commits
upon the senses of smell and
taste, are enough to spoil any
medicinal potency that may be
in it for the majority of people.
This-to say nothing about its
being indigestible. Yet there
has always been reason to believe
that, among the elements which
form cod liver oil, there ex-
listed curative properties of the
highest value. But it was neces-
sary to separate them from the
nauseating waste material with
which they were combined. This
was successfully accomplished in

like "A cloud over all financial dealings.

At would fall. The strike, therefore,
seems to have removed one of the ele-
ments in the market that was more
disturbing to the trade barometer than
anything else. The labor disturbance
came, was met and disposed of and, as
soon as it was shown that it could be
met, stocks took a brace and remained
steady and then began to climb.
The condition of the European beet
crop is reported as unfavorable to the
European growers, but is favorable to
cane growers. The weight of the Eu-
ropean beet at this time of the year
is far below the beet of last year at
the same period, and this indicates
very short beet crop. Local brokers,
after studying the situation and reach
ing their conclusions from the letters
of mainland correspondents, regard this
condition as an indication that there is
every reason to expect fair price for
sugar next year.
Hawaiian sugar has been netting the
plantations, after deducting carrying
and marketing charges, about 500 pei
ton. and it is fair to assume that the
sugar estates are making a net profit
of from $25 to $50 per ton. The croT
for the present season will go over the
estimates, so sugar men say.
