THE STINGlESS Bee

Science is able to take the thorn
from the blackberry bush, and now IL
has learned how to take the sting
out of the bee. Mr.. Burrows of Es-
sex, England, after two years of ex-
periments, claims to have obtained a
species of bee which can be handled
by child in perfect safety. He mated
the Cyprian drones and the Italian
queens, the result being the produc-
ton Of harmless insects. They are
splendid workers, and are said TO be
less liable to disease than the ordi-
nary honey -gatherer.
1t appears that the new product
has sting. but 1t does not hurt.
and is useless as a weapon OF offense.
Yet the bees die when they lose 1t.
As civilization advances the sting
will be taken out OF mems disposl-
tion and lives. and many OF the pains
that come to men by the stings Of
misfortune will have been prevented

SOME QUESTIONS

Where did the whiskey come
frcm?" That was one OF the Ques-
tions asked by an onlooker of the
disgraceful scene at the corner Of
Chestnut and Main Streets two weeks
ago-the wild rawlings of a whiskey-
crazed man whom the officers were
attempting to control and whom the
court decided to try on the street,
but finally concluded not to do SO
owing to the rawlings OF the man,
the inability of the officers to quiet
him, and the surging amused crowd.
why were some others, that were
reported just as drunk not arrest
ed?" This was another question that
went the rounds of the crowd.
Whether there were others drunk
and equally deserving of arrest, we
do not know, but the statement TO
that effect was current.
Other questions that we heard ask
ed we're, what would a stranger,
who is accustomed to see men ar
rested, Immediately hushed up, and
taken to prison or to trial, think of
this orgy?" and, "Woulden't it justi-
fly. in some measure, stories about
Conditions in this part of the coun-
try that excite us So much, ard call
forth SO much OF our indignation and
wrath, when we see them in the
city dailies?"
However these questions may be
answered, enc fact remains-it was
a disgraceful exhibition: an exhibit
ton, the remembrance of which and
the effect of which upon some. no
sense of shame On the part of few
Of the best citizens can efface.

Now the point in all this is that
in a very conspicuous place on the
wall by the entrance Of the waiting
room was a large bulletin board on
which the various trains were num-
bered and the time OF their arrival
scheduled. On the same line lit
tie farther along on the board was a
space in which was written "on
Time" or a certain number of min
utes late, as the case might be.
Observing that no one seemed 20
pay any attention to thee bulletin
board, we thought OF the old adage,
and wished to change 1t to, Look
before you speak," and such a rule
would be a good one, for everyone
to put into practice, not only at rail-
road stations, but in many other
places. The fact is that this is an
age of signs and directions, and in
the cities especially one can save
himself and other people great deal
of trouble, IL he will only open his
eyes, and look about-look before ne
speaks
Another case in point. In the ei.-
trance into The Citizen office imme-
diately in front Of the visitor, as he
opens the door, are two placards each

wants The Citizen, he is instructed
to push one button, which will ring
a bell, and he will Immediately be
waited upon. II he wants job work
OF any kind done by the Printing
he is asked to press the
other button. But 1t is surprising TO
know how few people ever see these
placards, and how many will come
and stand and wait and sometimes
l.nock on the counter with their
fists, or again call in tones suffi
GENTLY loud to overcome the noise

MFMBER OF
A DEATH TRAP

A few evenings ago we CHANGED to
be in a not very distant town, a
county seat, and shortly after our
arrival we learned that there was TO
be public speaking in the courthouse
speaking by a candidate for Con-
gress that we had never seen, a1d
about whom we had heard much, so
we planned to 60.
Now one would naturally suppose
that in writing about this event, we
would tell about the enthusiasm of
the meeting, the wonderful person.
atty of the candidate, his oloquence,
and the effect of his address, but,
while there was some enthusiasm
and some eloquence, and the candi-
date was possessed with a pleasing
personality, these were not the i'm
pressive things. The thing most i'm
pressive, and that deserves most to
be mentioned was the shock the
visitor received Immediately upon en-
tering the court room-the heated,
befouled atmosphere.
In some respects the building may
be said to be modern one. There
are many worse looking court rooms.
1t was night, and the room was fair
ly-well lighted, and there were
enough windows to give light in the
day time, and permit Of adequate ven
tilation, but a glance showed that
every window with one exception
was closed as If they had been lock-
ed to keep cut burglars, and the one
was up at the bottom only about
an inch and a half or two inches.
The room was fairly well filled
and there were a good many people
there who could not refrain from the
pleasures of tobacco until the speak
ing was over, so there was much pro-
miscuous splitting and smoking.
We have been in many assem-
blies. and some of them very I'M
pleasant, but we have never been
forced to breathe air quite so foul
and dangerous it positively stank
and so we only waited long en-
ough to get a good look at the
speaker, and gather the thread Of
his argument, when we fled for ref
uge into the deliciously fragrant, |
crisp, and wholesome air of the moon
lighted night.
There was considerable coughing in
the assembly. No wonder. And no
doubt there is much more since. In
