MUST HAVE BEEN DRUNK
Seemed Only Plausible Explanation
Of Conduct of Man on New
York Train.

At Matawan the New York bound
train, pretty we'll filed with passen-
gers took on a number more, among
them a family of eight-stout mother
stout aunt and six children. The chill
dren ranged in age from a baby in
arms to youngster of eight or nine
years. There were few vacant seats
IN the car into which this family
party trailed, and the stout mother,
with her youngest in her arms, and
the stout aunt, carrying a large bun
die, managed to squeeze into two un-
occupied places, leaving the children
to shift for themselves.
Along toward the middle of the car
sat a small, shabby, ldnd-faced man
who, observing that the five children
were standing about unsteadily in the
car aisle, arose smilingly and went
to their rescue. With much difficulty
he succeeded in finding seats for the
youngsters, giving up his own place
to two of them and standing in the
aisle himself.
Funny about that man takin' so
much trouble gettin' the children
seats,'' observed the stout mother to
the stout aunt.
Yes was the reply; I've been
looking at him. 1 guess he must be
drunk"

For the tenth successive autumn
mineral water factory at Cardiff,
Wales, was recently invaded by bees,
which come in huge companies. All
through the week the cloud of bees in
creased in dimension, and at the end
of the week the avalanche" was a
record. The firm have consulted local
beekeepers and experts, but no one
can say where the bees come from,
although beekeepers in the neighbor-
ing suburbs state that they have lost
large numbers. Bee experts say they
may come from many miles around.
The remarkable thing is that al
though this one particular factory has
been honored by these armies of Wis
itors for ten years two mineral water
factories quite near at hand have
been left severely alone. Another
curious thing is that the bees come
every morning as soon as day breaks
and depart when the sun does down.
They do not deliberately sting but
some employees have been stung
through catching hold of some uten-
sill upon which bees have fastened.

There were a number of teeth too

Brita;n's STRANGE Sect.

The Jezreelites of Gillingham, in
Kent, England, have once more been
brought prominently before the pub
lie IN the old country. The founder
of this strange sect, which is but little
known in these days, was a certain
James White, a private in the Six
teenth regiment, who, on his CONVEX
sion, took the names of James Jer-
shom Jezreel." White gathered en-
thusiasts round him and, like the
early Christians, the Jezreelites had
all things in common. 1t was a prin-
ciple of the sect that its members
were the first portion of the $4,000,
twice told, who shall receive Christ
when he appears to reign on earth.
Shortly after the foundation of the
sect, "Jezreel'' and his followers COM
menced to build a huge temple, in
tended to hold 10000 people, near
Chatham. "Jezreel' died in 1885, and
the work was never completed, but
the temple-tenantles and bare-sur-
wives today as a memento of one of
the maddest of modern dreams.

MATTER FOR CAREFUL INQUIRY
Japanese Minister'S Dffidence in Pres
ence of Emperor Is Cause of
Funny Break.

The late emperor of Japan was re-
garded with the greatest generation
by his subjects, and this attitude OF
awful reverence was maintained also
by his ministers, in spite of the fact
that affairs of state made it necessary
for them TO see him and converse with
him very frequently,
One of these ministers, the Marquis
Matsugata, used to experience agonies
of nervousness every time he had an
audience Of his sovereign, and he was
never able to say anything distinct
in reply to him except the set phrase,
81 shall have careful investigation
made, your majesty
This generally brought him safely
through a short audience, but one day,
unfortunately, the emperor condo
scended to discuss the marquis moro
private affairs.
How many children have your the
emperor asked.
Back came the inevitable phrase,
81 shall have careful investigation
made, your majesty"
The story loses nothing from the
fact that the marquis had very large
family indeed.

To Restore Chartreuse Monastery.

o Restore CnafIreuSe monastery
Tourists in all parts of the world
will be interested to learn that the
famous Grande Chartreuse monastery,
which has been sadly neglected of
recent years, is to be repaired and
restored by the French authorities.
Every year it is visited free by $4,000
tourists, and if small entrance fee
Were charged the monastery could be
kept in good condition. The Grande
Chartreuse was founded by st. Bruno
in 1854, and in 1882 it was completely
destroyed by an avalanche, but was
reconstructed soon after. Between
tie fourteenth and seventeenth cen
turtles it was destroyed by fire eight
times, and rebuilt on the same site.
The last fire took place in 1876, when
the famous monastery was recon-
structed as it remains today, prac-
tically no change having been made
during the last 236 years. 1t is a
venerable monument of French re-
ligious architecture, situated in
picturesque site midst the Dauphiny
Alps.

The inhabitants of the Balkan prov
inces are not the warlike, ferocious
people that popular imagination in
this country is apt to picture them.
The Servians, for example, are a
genuine simple peasant folk, whose
home life might be copied with ad.
vantage by the populations living I'M
der the rule of the great powers of
Europe. The Servian practices the art
of cooperation, while civilized people
are learning it's elements. Every lit
tie homestead in Servia is a family
commune, while in some of the noun

Having purchased the historic
house at Van Cortlandville, near
Peekskill, Walter S. Hamilton Of
Nyack will raze the edifce and re-
place it with a fine modern home.
During the Revolutionary war the
old building was a popular wayside
inn, being regular stopping place
for parties of Washington's troops as
they went up and down the Hudson
river. And the general himself often
visited the place for rest and refresh
ment.
A platoon of soldiers guarding
Major Andre after his capture took
an early morning breakfast there on

Polite for the Pastor,s Benefit.

Little Mary was not especially noted
for her table manners so that on sew
eral occasions she had dined on the
kitchen cabinet when there was COM
pany in the house. But the dinner
prepared for the new minister was
entirely too tempting to be passed
over lightly, so she resorted to all
kinds of promises for the privilege Of
coming to the table.
True to her word, Mary was on her
very best behavior, but she did SO
want a second piece of cake and the
plate was over by the minister, entire
ly out of her reach. After giving the
matter considerable thought she fold
ed her hands meekly and exclaimed:
"Mr. Blair, please pass the cake for

WEDDING TRIPS IN THE AIR
Aeroplane Honeymoons Preferable in
Some Ways to Those of
Ordinary Sort.

There is much to be said in favor
Of aeroplane weddings, but we shall
say only a little of it on day like
this, remarks the Newark News.
Let us indicate briefly few
salient features of this new social in
stitution.
The aeroplane wedding solves the
problem of the getaway. When the
happy couple depart in an airship
their loving friends cannot scare the
horses into running away and break
ing the brfdes neck.
Nor is it possible for them to throw
high enough to blacken the bride
groom's eyes with old shoes. The
newly-wedded pair are, in fact. in
position to lombard the wedding
guests if they so desire.
A five-pound boot dropped on
wedding guest from a height of $50
feet ought to bring him a tremend-
GUS amount of good luck, according
to the traditions of wedding festivity.
An aeroplane honeymoon ought to
be fascinating. Imagine sailing along
all day without having to stand the
bold, bad gaze of a patent leather
drummer in the seat across the aisle.
Fancy being too far up in the clouds
to hear the ribald whistle of the
young loafers at the railway station.
But airship honeymoons are as
sure to come to an end as the other
kind. In a careless moment the
bridegroom will say:
you do very nicely at the leveEs,
my dear, but your figure Fights are
nothing like mother used to make"
A new form of wedding announce
ment will have to be prepared for the
society reporters, in part as follows:
''Mr. and Mrs. Winger left imme-
diately after the ceremony for an ey-
tended aviation tour in France. If
they return they will reside at 26
Laurel road"
Aeroplane marriages are highly
dangerous, perhaps, but all kinds
are, for that matter.

MRumbuuU Spreading Out.

"Once upon a time," writes an
American woman from Munich, "the
humbug was looked upon as strictly
American product. With it's habitat in
the land of Uncle Sam, the echo of
its hum might sometimes reach be-
yond the sea, but the bug itself, it
was supposed, could never live and
thrive except in the country which
had produced the wooden nutmeg, Car
diff giant and the army of worthless
mine promoters. But the humbug has
become an institution in Germany,
and some American tourists who
climb mountains incautiously will rea-
lie the fact when the edelweiss
which they took home as proof of
their deeds is discovered to be
sham, made in this city, with intent
to deceive"

Small Clue to Crime.

A mysterious st. Petersburg crime
has just been solved by means of a
trousers button. Some days ago the
police found the bodies of a well-to-do
couple named Andrejeilf lying near
the Ninekaja railway station, bear
ing unmistakable evidence of having
been stabbed to death. The wife was
known in the district on account OF
the valuable jewelry she used to
wear, and the jewelry was missing
when her body was found. No clue to
the identity of the murderers could
be found except a trousers button,
which was lying near the bodies, but
as this button was similar to those
used for a certain uniform a search
was instituted. This led to the dis
covery of man in the One Hundred
and Forty-siXth Infantry regiment
whose trousers were minus button,
and on being accused of the crime he
Immediately confessed.

Most persons know the story that
is told of Cleopatra to illustrate her
luxurious habits of living-that she
dissolved in her wine a precious pearl.
No one seems yet to have questioned
what must have been the effect upon
the drink, but scientists scoff at the
possibility of such solution.
The fact is pearls are not soluble
in wine. The most powerful vinegar
affects them slowly, and never en-
tirely dissolves them, for the organic
matter remains behind, in the shape
of spongy mass that is larger than
the original pearl.

WHY THE TRAIN WAS LATE
Didn't Have the Nerve to Interfere
He Gulped, So Did Every
body Else.

If the railway guard who held his
train half minute beyond schedule
time should be reprimanded at head-
quarters a hundred passengers Who
know why he did it will sign a petiT
ton for his pardon. Sentimene was
back of it, Somebody wanted to kiss
A lot of people want to do that.
Women kiss each other, mer kiss
their wives. The guards have no
patience with sentiment of that kind.
They faunt their contempt by bawl-
ing, BREAK away there; no time for
that" and refuse to hold the train
half second for the tenderest salute.
But this case was different. 1t was
easy to see how it was. A mother was
giving her child away. The little fell
low was in good hands. The couple
who had adopted him were whole
some, kindly people; the mother was
wretchedly poor. No doubt it was
best all around to give him away.
She and the boy stood the parting
like majors up to the last minute,
then the baby broke down.
"Mom-mom-mom he blubbered
from the car platform.
Before the guard could close the
door or give the signal she had
reached through the crowd and had
snatched him from the mans arms.
Il can't, l capt" she said.
And then the kissing began. The
guard didn't even try to say Break
away!" He gulped; so did everybody
else. Presently the woman handed
the boy back, and the train started
on amid the deepest silence that had
ever hung over that subway station.

about is getting down early and keep
