Work of Bees. j
Three hundred billion Iipps made i
enongh hmiey during lnpt year to fill j
a train or cars long enotign to reacn
from Nw York to nuff tln. At the
lev: wholesale rate of ten cents a
pound It was worth $25,000,000. and if
the 700,000 hoe-keepers of the country
had worked as Industriously and skill
fully as did the beer, the weight of the
output would have been three times
as great and the value $75,000,000.
In onp year the beehives sent to
market a product worth nearly as
much as the barley crop, three times
n.-: much as the buckwheat crop, $(!,
000,000 greater than the rye crop, and
nearly tfl.OOO.OOO greater than the rice
crop. All the the rice nnd buckwheat
grown on an abrogated area of
2,120 1-3 square miles did not reach to
the value of the honey by $151,219.
To appreciate these results, one
mind necessarily strive also to appre
ciate the number of insects at work.
That Is rather difficult, for 300,000,000,
000 stretches a long way beyond Intel
ligent human comprehension. The
human mind doesn't work well in any
thing mathematically greater than
thouFands.

wicked things of which we thought In
our youth this Is the prime or life.
In old age we are sorry for the wicked

which they are painted and draped
to match the surrounding vegetation,
while huge screens drop automatically
before them as each shell Is tired.
They havo n range of fifteen mile?
and could drop shHls on Ceuta, in
Africa, opposite, quite comfortably!
One gun weighs lit) tens and is capa
ble of throwing a shell weighing three
quarters of a ton! In that marvel ol
engineering under great difficulties,
the galleries, are concealed guns for
every day in the year!
These galleries are divided Into
three sections, entry to which is
guarded, while one Is closed even to
high officers, containing preserved
stores, munitions of war, rain water
(for Gibraltar has no springs) and a
complete condensing plant all calcu
lated to outlast a siege of seven years.

Cnchs-ring Character cf the Saxon
R.ue -i Evim-.p-; Thrcughrut
the Centuries.
Thli tribe of Sax .ns hal. by .vcl- '
Jer.t tr wise leadership, b.app.ncd
upon t v very country best suited to
them. A fertile island, cut off troin
the rest ef the world and with room
for ail. so that each one might, with
his familv, have a king lorn of hi.-; own.
This, witli as little machinery of gov-
eminent as possible and yet all ready
to combine as equals In self-defense.
But as they made their land product
ive, as they became rich, they became ,
the prey of other peoples from north- i
western Germany and what Is now the :
.Scandinavian pminsula and were;
j forced to defend their possessions
; and tht lr customs against Angles,
Danes and Normans.
! It Is a curious feature of the abld
i Ing. unrelenting purpose of these Sax
! ona to govern themselves and to he
let alone that, though they were con
quered In turn by Angles, Panes and
Nonm.ns, they swallowed up all three
la the end and Imposed their customs,
their language, their habit of mind
and their Institutions upon each of the
Invaders In turn. They would have
nolhirg to do with the half-developed
igated i feudalism of Angles and Danes, nor
Cuilsjwith the full-developed feudalism of
William the Compioror and his follow
ers, rhe c-.in'pieror claimed that the
land was his and that every holder of
land owed fealty to him personally.
It took about 100 years for the Saxon
Idea to prevail over the feudalists
notion, and the result was magna
charta. The magna chnrta wrested
from King John by the barons was In
realitv the shaking of personal alio
Glance to a chieftain by the Norman
onrons, aided hy the Saxon gentry,
who had finally imbued them also
with their own love of Independence
and tree government. They Insisted
then, and have maintained ever since,
that they derived their rights, their
liberties and their laws net from a
king, but from themselves. In the
days of William the Compnror their
king was elective, though chosen from
tho reigning house, As late as KlSi)
the commons voted (hat King .lames
had abdicated and that the throne was
vacart! They chose their own rulers,
and no doubt would do so again to-day
If necessary. It Is much too long a
story to go, step by step, through the
recital of this development. H con
cerns us here only to note these un
changing characteristics of the race,
maintained and strengthened through
centuries of war, tumult and conquest.

A thin little mnn with a long beard
and -1 big bundle hoarded a Second
av nue car at Fifth street the other
day, and when the conductor came
aro.md handed up a $1 bill and asked
fcr a (muster to the Fourteenth street
line.
The conductor handed the passen
gr a half dollar, a quarter ami three
dimes. The thin little man saw the
three dimes and quickly thrust his
change in his picket. He didn't wait
until the car got to Fourteenth street,
but alighted at Eighth street. When
he had gone a passenger said to the
condiit tor:
"You gave that man three dimes in
stead of two."
The conductor did not smile, hut
said:
"Did I? Well, he'll have a devil oi
a time getting rid of the half dollar."
