A Visi to Saxony.

From the Engineering Magazine.
The American visitors who throng the
garden city Of Dresden are inspired by
Saxons with a friendly feeling from
their first entry within the borders of
Saxony. Good nature and good humor
appear from the first, even with the Gus
toms oficials in their perfunctory round
through the train. The cofree-colored
eye, open and frank, speaks of the
hospitable. homely people who will wei
come the visitor to Saxony-a remark
able contrast with the turquoise-eyed
peoples met from Venice to Vienna. And
in the shops OF the engineering works we
even fnd the character Of the Saxon peo-
pie impressed upon the metal that Is
wrought into machines.
1t is precisely because of this fact
that the Saxon Is more Of an individual
being and less OF a mere machine while
performing his work-that a visit to
Saxon engineering works is rendered the
more attractive. The men who operate
the railway trains are the embodiment
Of this characteristic. In Prussia the
engine man has q rigid, military mien
and wears blue uniform. In saxony he
years straw hat. q etarched collar a
civilian jacket. and has q Iounging atti-
tude and after caring for his machine at
the roundhouse he is scrupulous In abb
lutions which At him to walk home pres.
sently down Pragerstrasse amid the cos
mopolitan throng. To the capitalist who
considers metallursical and engineering
works as money-coining machines such
amenities are. perhaps, wasted time.
Even the Prussians regard the Saxons az
being rather sleepy" because not great
hustlers; but with their more philosophic
temperament the saxons reply. with
amiable smiles, "Ah, Mr.. -? Oh, he
is Prussian. you KNOW in the same
tone in which q Roman speaks of a
Piedmontese. and which one must be a
native to understand properly.

BEES TIE UP TRAFFIC.
Corner in Possession o
10000 Honey Makers.


10000 Honey Makers.
Minneapolis, July 3-Minneapolitans
were given a taste Of real country life
when Earl Mattison. of Cokato. Minn.,
beat a tin pail to quiet a swarm of a,0oO
bees. which blocked traffic and frightened
horses and pedestrians at the corner Of
Washington Avenue and First Avenue
for an hour. Thousand people crowded
about the ornamental light blocking pas
sage on First Avenue S for some time.
''I'll give you SO for that swarm"
shouted A. Skoog, farmer and apiarist
Of Cokato. MINI.
Earl Mattison, a neighbor boy of
Skoog. grabbed a tin pail. quieted the
bees to some extent, secured a step lad
der, and climbed up with an empty box.
Barehanded. he began to urge the bees
into the box with a small stick.
No one knows how the bees happened
to alight in the city. A swarm often
travels as far as fifty miles. according
to Skoog, who is a bee sharp.
They follow their queen" explained
Skoog. you can't tell when they will
alight, for any noise may cause the
queen to stop. Once she alights the
whole swarm settles down. Those bees
are fine honey bees. I will take them
home with me-"
Other farmers stood by and shouted
advice on how to hive the swarm, but
young Mattison went ahead with no fear
Of stings. .

BEDLOE BEY OPPOSES
SUFFRAGE FOR women
Washington-Atantic City Globe Trot-
ter Says Fair Sex Now
Is Superior.
BALLOT WOULD LOWER SEX

Atlantic City, July 13.-Bedloe Bey. the
famous globe trotter Of Washington and
Atlantic City, tonight told why he Is
opposed to woman suffrage.
The genial doctor said woman is man. S
superior and wants TO be his equal.
At a dinner given this evening by
State Senator Asbury W. Lee. Of Clear
field, Pa, the host referred to the Bey
as a '.man with a marvellous memory and
voluminous vocabulary" The Bey spoke
eloquently of the ladies and concluded
his remarks as follows:
IN conclusion I beg to quote the words
of His Eminence, Cardinal Gibbons, who
said:
The mission of the Christian church
Is to define faith and morals. In other
matters individuals decide for themselves.
Personally / am opposed to female suf-
frage because / am in favor of perpetu-
sting the real dignity of woman
'The Christian religion" continued the
Bey, has exalted woman to her present
sphere. She is no longer the slave CT
man, nor the toy of his caprice, but the
equal, the peer of man.
.'She is the queen OF the domestic king
dom and her proper sphere Ia the home.
She Is justly honored everywhere by rea-
son of her sex. Now, IL she were to en-
bark on the ocean OF political life II Is
very much to be feared that her dignity
would be impaired II not Jeopardized.
obvious Is the eject or this present
agitation on many women. As soon as
women seek to enter the arena Of poll
tics. they may expect to be soiled by Its
dust. -
And the grace and charm inherent IN
women would be very seriously impaired
by her rude contact and contention with
men IN poIiucaI lie. womans sphere Is
the nome.
I'VE read that Thermistocles was on
one occasion approached by his son. VINO
asked a considerable favor. 1 cannot
grant you what you ask said the great
general You must go to your mother.
1t 10 true that Greece rules the world.
and that Athens rules Greece; that
rule Athens. but, my son. your mother
rules me-"
