GOVERNMENT BEES.
B««r Iu«cti Belong! as (• the Agri
cultural Department Swarm
to Market.
Doubtless the only members of the
government’s glgnatic force of em
ployes whogoto workbefore nine o’clock
a. m. and continue toiling until sun
down are the Italian bees kept by the de
partment of agriculture. These, the
smallest of our domestic animals, are
kept by the department for experimental
purposes and for stocking lta various
substations, says the Washington Post.
Some time ago these government bees
discovered that Center maket was a
far better pasture than the flower beds
and vegetable gardens of the depart
ment, and t^ere they resort every day,
to no small discomfort and annoyance of
Commission dealers, hucksters, gard
ners and restaurant proprietors, whose
stock in trade the industrious little in
sects prey upon.
In some cities the rats and mice are
troublesome, and in others crickets,
grain insects, and various other bugs
prey upon the perishables, but Center
market Is the only market in the United
States where the most serious pest 1st the
Insects which belong to the government.
They eat holes in the peaches, poach on
the grapes, gather honey from canta
loupes, and are the first to find the soft
spots in pineapples and bananas. What
Is more, there are about Center market
a number of open-air eating booths, tc
which the bees resort in large numberi
to collect honey from various sweet
dishes, particularly apricot, apple*,
peach, prune and huckleberry pie. The
funny part of it all Is that the commis
sion dealers, fruit handlers and res
taurant keepers are afraid to offer any
opposition to their intrusion for fear
the plucky little insects will resent It.
Hardly a week passes tnat some on
does not get stung by the government
bees, who object to rough handling and
treatment. With the Juice and wax
which they collect from apples, melons
peaches, oranges, pineapples, grapes,
bananas and pies in the market, they
lay up their store of winter honey. The
only time the restaurant keepers are
able to even up with these little pests Is
when they have a batch of hot pies or
bread pudding on hand. They It hap
pens accaslonally that some over-hasty
government bee gets his feet scorched.
In such cases they hover about the plee
until they have cooled off, now and then
alighting on the crust to test the temj
perature of the tempting halt.
NEGROES SANG AT WORK.
i»l Entertained French Opera Sins
trs In the Streets of New
Orleans.
The French opera singers were specta
tors of a picturesque street scene a night
or two ago in the vicinity of the old
French opera house, says the New Or
leans Times-Democrat. Bourbon street
was being paved With asphalt, and the
work was being hastened so as to have
that portion of the street near the opera
house accessible for carriages by th<
time of the opening of the French op
era season.
On this account an unusually large
force of workmen were engaged, and In
order to push the work to an early com
pletion the men worked at night, huge
torches being used. In one block, be
tween St Louis and Toulouse streets,
gtore than 100 men were working.
Every one familiar with the negro
knows that, in so far as he is able, he
sets his work to music. It is a fact often
marveled at that the negro, when he is
singing or chanting in a sort of rhythmic
mood, works with more ardor than undei
different conditions. And if an extra de
mand Is made on the negro workman be
lings or chants the louder.
The members of the French opera, or
at least many of them, heard for the first
time the real melody of the negro voice
that night It was that swlnhful, poetic
thing caricatured In the ragtime of the
stage, a certain subtle, indefinable some
n.ktaV AAtvinnnov koa AtrAS Kaah
able to fit to the well-measured octaves
of musical arrangements. It was the
tuneful, heaving call of the levee, the
mellow sunset cry of the cotton fields.
The flaring torch, the bustling hither and
thither, the heavy fall of the implements
of toil—all those things gave exquisite
tone to the setting.
Paraguay Tea.
There comes from Paraguay to the
/ournal of Tropical Medicine news of
in apparently harmless beverage which
Is the sole stay and stimulant of the
working classes in Paraguay and the
Argentine Republic. It is often known
as Paraguay tea or mate, and an at
tempt made to Introduce it into this
country some years ago failed because
—as we may guess—there were more
potent competitors in the field. It is
usually drunk as a hot Infusion, through
» metal tube, but may be taken like tea,
with milk and sugar. Workmen take It
with them wherever they go and sip 11
occasionally. Wood cutters will work
on It for five or six hours before break
fast, and the writer declares that, taken
at night. It makes nursing, study or what
doctors call “night work" real pleasure.
Analysis does not explain these results,
and lifelong and persistent use appears
to have no evil conseqnences. This
would be a good substitute /or the num
berless patent medicines which supply
alcohol to women, or even, in at least
one familiar case, cocaine.—London
Chronicle.

"There are sold In this country to
day.” said a cutlery man, according to
the New York Sun, "a hundred times
as many razors as were sold here 40
years ago.
"Some share of this Increase is due,
>f course, to the advance in population,
but the greater part is due to the large
Increase in the proportion of men who
shave themselves. More men than ever
before now possess this polite art
"With a greater number of individ
ual users of razors there are, of course.
Many more razors now sold. And, of
tourse, plenty of men own more than
one razor; everyone ought to own two,
st least as many men do. One good
razor properly cared for might serve
lie purpose Continuously and wall for
a long time without regrinding or hon
ing, but an accident might happen to
it nnd against that a man guarda by
having at least one extra rasor.
"Many men buy sets of seven razors,
one for each day in the week, and there
ara men who have sets of 31 razors, one
for every day in the month. And trav
elers going to distant countries and into
regions where facilities would be lash
ing buy cases of razors to take with
them. A traveler starting out with a
case of half a dozen razors in perfect
condition would have a razor outfit
that, with such ears as he could be
stow upon It himself, would serve him
well for years, r
“The best razor that cab be made
can be bought with a plain handle for
two dollars; anything more than that In
the cost of It would be in the mounting
—la pearl handles and so on. You can
buy a case of seven fine razors, Sindh
ply mounted, for $12. or you oaa pay
$50 or more for a case of rasera with
' the same blades, but with fine mount
ings and in a finer case."

Now the physicians are said to havt
forbidden another relish nearly as pop
ular as oysters at thla time, eaye the
Washington Star. Celery has pome

that it is equally well adapted to trans
mitting the polsonoue elements of the

The disease can be acquired only by
introducing the microbes Into the sys
tem in food or drink, and for that rea
son advice against certain kinds of food
is always likely to be regarded. But
to what extent this may be carried is
well understood by the proprietor o!
one hotel, who has seen oysters during
the past three weeks disappear almost
Intirely from the orders of his guests.
Some weeks ago a well-known man died
•f typhoid fever. He had lived at a
large hotel, and the report went about
that he had got his Illness there. “What
ever you do, don't eat oysters at that
hotel,” was the advice that one friend
was giving another, based on the beliel
that this man had died of a disease con
tracted in the hotel dining-room, when
the chances were immensely In favoT
of his having got the fever somewhert
else.

count of other financial interests,
have decided to make this the
best business proposition on town

flourishing business town in
keeping with the demands of the
excellent country by which it is
surrounded.
