AS was announced several weeks
ago, the guild of St. James orphanage
will begin a campaign for membership
as soon as plans are complete. The
arrangements are practically in readi-
ness and will be made public within a
few days.
The campaign will be conducted by
members of the guild, SO no commits
sion will be paid in order that all the
money raised may be applied directly
to outstanding bills at the orphanage
The bishop desires to see at least
one member of every Catholic family
in Duluth represented in the year book
and hopes further that all men and
women, irrespective of creed, whose
charity includes the love of little
children, will join the guild.
The different kinds of membership
are as follows: Active, fee 81 a year;
associate, fee 81 year; sustaining,
fee IS a year, and life, fee $25 as the
minimum.

is time to run for your car. That is
a well-established fact, and the eli
max of last evenings delight was a
superb rendition of "Agnus Del" by
Bizet, sung with all the power and ex.
preston. that could possibly be given
in this superb composition.
Mccormack has Il new song that is
going to. make his admirers forget all
about some of the old favorites. 1t
is called "Mayis" and was written
and composed by Harold GRAFTON. 1t
is dedicated to Mccormack and will
undoubtedly sweep over the world to
great popular success. 1t was used
last evening as an encore but, Oh.
how it did rouse up that audience.
Mr.. Mccormack did a very graceful
and courteous act in the middle OF
his program, when during one of his
songs he faced three-quarters around
SO that the large crowd on the stage
could get glimpse of his face. And
after all, in addition to listening to
his voice, the round goOd-looking Nc
Cormack face Is very pleasant to look
at, indeed.
Mccormack will appear in concert,

Won by a Bluff.

When the armies OF Napoleon were
overrunning Europe, General Massena,
with $4,000 men. suddenly appeared
before the Austrian town of Field
kirch and demanded its surrender. In
sled Of complying. the burgOmaSt ter
issued orders that the church bells
were to be set ringing AMI that The
burGhers, their wives and daughters
clad In holiday attire. were t. assem-
bic in the market square and there
make merry.
The result was exactly what he had
hoped for. MasSena heard the sounds
Of rejoicing. watched from the heights
overlooking the town thS gathering
thrOngs in the streets and came 10 the
conclusion that the townsfok must
have received intelligence that the
Austrian army, which was believed To
be somewhere in the vicinity, was AL
vanCing to their relief.
As TO give battle there and then
formed no part of NapoleOns general
plan of action, MasSena ordered re-
treat. Feldkirch was saved. and by Il
bluff, for as matter of fact no rclicv-
ing force was anywhere near at the
time.

The first book of any kind publish
ed in Philadelphia was Atkins Al
manack for the year 1856. 1t was an
unpaged pamphlet of ten leaves. only
two copies of which are now known
to be in existence. The first copy of
the Almanack printed was sent to
Colonel Markham, PENIS deputy, who
reported to the council that the book
had enormously declared Pennsylva-
MIA to have been founded by Lord
Penn" The council disapproved such
a high sounding title and directed the
author and printer (Nilliam Brad

blot out We words Lord Penn"
This had the effect of recalling the
whole edition and the abolition of the

Giant and Dwarf Honeybees.

In some Of the East Indian islands
and on the mainland of HinduStan are
to be found the smallest species of
honeybees in the world. These dwarf
honey collectors are known to ento-
molOgists as Apis fiorea. Their honey
combs are no larger than a child's
hand, and the cells are about the size
OF small pinhead. This honey is eX-
cellent, as is the wax. The little crea-
lures build the comb in the branch of
low tree, and as they have not to
provide for winter. they work all the
year through, raising broods like them
selves.
In the same land there is a species
of giant bees. Apis dorsata, as large as
a field cricket These monsters of the
bee world build honeycombs that are
from six to seven feet In length, four
or more in width and weigh from 300
to 400 pounds each.
