NOTHING SERIOUS

Lima, Peru, July 29.-There is no
truth in reports current in Europe and
America of catastrophe in this city.
There has been no extraordinary &C.
currence of any kind. Rumors proba-

graphic communication between here

was the speaker had ignored de

Wild Honey.

The honey that comes out of a bee
tree is not always as sweet as the old
time compliment, Sweet as a bee
tree" might lead one to suppose, The
bees that run wild do not seem to have
the fine taste in nectar that their do
mesticated cousins have. Sometimes
there are poisonous spots in wild hon
ey-at least there are legends to that
effect-and often, if the colony is old
and the comb large, the honey is
black as night
But the bee-hunter now, alas, to be
classed with professionals that have
passed on, cared little about discolora-
ton and worried not at all about pol
son. To find a bee tree meant the ex-
ercise of keen eyesight, woodcraft, pa
thence and judgment. The wandering
bee seemed to have prejudice against
going straight to the hive. He mosey-
ed along from flower to flower, stop
ped to talk or fight with fellow bee,
or, II he knew he was being followed,
dived into thickets and hummed
straight across some bottomless bog.
So when the right tree was located
and the comb laid bare, 1t was well
won. 1t was as treasure trove, earned
by the blisters on the shoveler's
hands.

TOO FEW SPECIAL SUM
Move to Secure Cooperation of
Churches In Effort at Social
Betterment.

In a report on social Sundays sug-
gested to be observed by all of the
churches. in the United States, the spe-
cial committee which investigated the
subject says:
One of the results of this investiga-
ton was the revelation that the num-
Der Of special social Sundays now be-
ing observed on a national scale is
much smaller than has been generally
supposed. Only six special Sundays
not specially designated by the cal
endar are at present observed on any
considerable scale throughout the
country. These are Child Labor sun
day, Mothers day, Peace Sunday. La
Dor Sunday, Prison Sunday and Tu-
berculosis day. The other special
Sundays in the calendar given above
are all fixed by certain national or re-
ligious holidays, such as Washington's
birthday, Memorial day or Christmas"
The report of the committee will be
submitted to the Federal Council of
Churches. representing most of the
Protestant denominations, to the Ro-
man Catholic church authorities, to
the Jewish church authorities and to
all other church organizations which
can be interested in this movement.
The aim of the report is to secure the
cooperation of all the churches of
the country In movements for social
betterment.
