miner and the thunder of the large quartz

its former prosperity.

Alpine county is noted for ( lie size and
number of its rattlesnakes. They are
known as the hog-hunting variety. If one
happened to be in Markicevihle anti saw a
frightened hog running like a cyclone , its
eyes hanging out , its tail curled up like a
corkscrew and Its whole being indicative of
an ovcrpowerin desire to get in out at the

liension , for not far behind and surely gain-
lag on the bog one % lht find a rattlesnake
gliding along , his head raised six inches
above the ground anti his glittering eyes
fixed on the flying hog.
The snakes do not eat the hogs after they
kill them , for even an Alpine county rattle-
nako has not capacity enough to swallow
down anything larger than a rabbit. They

deadly hatred of swine , and kill them be.

The range of the honey bee Is but little
understood by the masses , says the Ihalti.
more Anierican , many supposing that bees
go for miles in quest of nectar , while others
think that they go only n short distance.
It may be curious to many to underatnii.l
how any one can toll how far tIm bro may
fly , but this is simple when understood.
Years ago , when the Italian bees were first
introduced in the United States , these bees ,
having marks different to the common bpea
already here , were easily distinguished , and
after any beekeeper had obtained thto Italian -
ian bees they could be observed and their
range eatdiy noticed. If bloom Is identiful
iienr where the bees are located tiiy will
not go very far , perhaps a mile in tango ,
hut it bloom is senrco they may go lIve
miles. Usually about three miles Is as far
as they may go profitably.
Ilees have been known to go as far as
eight miles in a straight line. crossing a
body of water that distance to land. It is
wonderful how the little honey bee range
go so far from its borne and ever hInd its
way back to its oivii particular hive. If ,
while the little bee is out of ita home , or
hive , the hive should ho removed sonic
ten or twenty feet , according to the surroundings -
roundings , when it came back to where its
home was first located it would be hopelessly -
lessly lost. If its home was in an open
51)0cc , with iio other objects close , it might
find its way hionie , but , even should the
hive be moved only a few feet , many of the
bees would get lost.
So to move a hive. if done in the winter
time , it would ho all right , hut if in the
summer time It shoaid be ilono after dark ,
or when the bees are not flying , 01111 even
then the bees should ho stirred up sonic
and smoke blown In at the hive entrance
and a board or wino object placti.l in front
of the hive so that the bees in coming out
may mark their now location. I3ee , no
doubt , nrc guided by s'ght , antI also by
sense of smell. They are attracted by the
color of bloom , as , If they are at work on
a certain kind of bloom , they are not likely
to leave that particular kind of bloom for
any other as long as they can find tbat
kind. Again , bees are often attracted to
sweets by 1helr , souse of siiicll , for they
will go after sweets , eveti if in the dark ,
if close. however , any kind of sweets may
be placed in glass in phalli sight , but if
covered , so as not to emit niiy smell , the
bees will take no notice of them.
teers , Ralph , who is only 16 years of ago ,
went to the recruiting otlice to enlist , but
svas rejected Oil account of a slight physical -
ical defect , lie grieved a great deal , espe-
daily when lie saw the Kansas troops of
the command of Colonel Lindsey en route to
Camp Alger. lie went up to thin lower
house of congress to ask his father as a
special favor to use lila influence at the
War department in bile behalf. Ito was
the only son and Mrs. Ihotkln , who was
ill , hinted to see him go to war , so young.
Mr. Ilotkin , seeing that the boy was very
anxious to enlist , called a carriage anti both
of them rode direct to the White Ihouse ,
Mr. llotkin explained the situation to Preal-
dent McKiniey. who after questioning thp
young mao closely said that ho would sos-
peed the regulations in order to give such
a bravo young patriot a chance to servo
his country.
"What do you want ? " asked the presi.
dent.
"I want to be a private with the other
Kansas boys , " said young 1301km ,
"You have mettle enough to be a gen.

Ziir , McKinley called the War dopartinont

One government department which is
watching the operations against Spain with
interest , in the hope of securing some nil-

large and Interesting collection of trophies
and relIcs won in former conflicts , but there
is still room for a compartment to be devoted -
voted to the war of 180S should results justify -
tify it.
One of the interesting rehica now in the
museum Is the camp chest used by Washington -
ington throughout the revolution. It is a
compact affair about tim size of a tourist's
wicker chest for cooking of the iircsent day ,
two nuid one-half feet long , two feet wide ,

bottles , knives , forks , gridiron niutl plates.
Every bit of the outfIt save one bottle , which
is broken at thio shoulder , looks strong
enough to stanch another campaign.
Near by nrc the tents used by Washington ,
three in nuutnbor. One is a sleeping tent
tweuity-eigiit fcet long , with walls six feet
highu and a roof with six feet pitch. It is
made of linen. The other two are marquee
tents of smaller size , one with wails , the
other a shelter tent open emu the sides. That

Not far from these Washington relics is
a cohleetloul of nienentoes of General Jack-
son. t the foot of a hifcsizo painting of
"Old hickory" is folded lila military coat
of blue with Inass buttons , lace trimmings ,
high collar anti gold epaulettes. The gar-
nient was worn by hini at the battle of
Not Orleauls , January 8 , 1811 , when with
2,100 AmerIcan militia ho overcame the
British troops of seasoned regulars 5,000
strong. Ilelow the coat is his case of
pistols , looking strong antI ready as If they
had been rubbed and oiled daily inco Jackson -
son last fired them at the foe. They nrc
stout flint-hocks of large bore and substnn-
that grip , such as one aught fancy that a
warrior of Jackson's temperament would
select.
Close at mmii are two small flint-lock
pistols taken from the llritish at Now Or-
leans. It the difference in size between the
British lIstOla and those of General Jackson -
son obtained as to all tIm other weapons
used by the Ihritlsli anti the Americans , it
ill small wonder that Jackson defeated tim
redcoats.
Not far away tiucro is a sword whIch
was carried by Captain Seth Brett Thorn-
ton of the Second Dragroomus. who struck
the first blow iii the Mexican war at Cas-
attn and who fell in the last attack on the
City of Mexico.
To go back a bit , mention should be made
ot the old service-worn canteen carried
through the revolution by John Paulihing ,
ono of the three captors of Major Andre.
It is of metal with a cork stopfde , is about
two-thirds of a foot long and nearly four
inches in diameter. The label does not say
so , but it Is presumed tiuuzt the canteen was
for water , though It Is known that tIm
American soldiers in those days like some
of other times were not averse to an ocea-
sionni flavor of applejack in their ivater-
casks.
