THE ^IXTITED GUEST, An Episode of a New Orleans Banquet. Some years ago when John McCnlw lough was in New Orleans a compliW mentary dinner was given him, to which Robson and Crane, the comedians, were invited. Robson tells the following story of an incident which occurred : "It was a private affair, so that when I saw, sitting between Crane and myself, a very seedy-looking old gentleman, my attention was arrested, and I began to eve the old chap with suspicion. By and by lie began to attract the attention of the company. He "eras a man of, say sixty or thereabout, unshaven and very shabbily dressed. The night ontside was bitterly cold, and yet the old felloe wore a ihin summer coat buttoned tip to the throat. What first drew my attention to him was his appearance, and after that his appetite. He ate voraciously, and his drinking kept pace with his eating. Again and again did Crane and I replenish his plate and fi1! his glass, and again njid again tvere thej emptied. I rcmess that a barbarous - sense of the hnmor of the thing came over me, and I gave way to it. From m? 'pride of place' I deliberately plied the ariMAnf. marine "with wine, and made a point of inviting the attention of th? *hole table to him. They all went intc the joke and insisted, one after another, upon drinking wine with the old man. The idea, of course, was to get hiir tipsy, but here we all failed, for the olc gentleman had a head as hard a.\ Socra tea, and moreover, seemed to kno^ when he had enough. The quiet whisper and nudge was going round the fes live board, 'Who's our friend ? Whc brought him in ? etc. But ic wa.< quickly suppressed, for at last, witl quiet dignity, but firm courtesy, he d* clined to drink any more, and no en treaty could move him from his resole Xfrtna nf nnr nartv seemed tc ' Viiy^x.

Something about Shakspeare you know- he's the fellow." "Nobody, of course, imagined tha the old man would have the nerve t< get up and say anything, but he did Well, sir, in the course of my experi ence I have heard a great many cleve people talk about the immortal bard but on this occasion I heard in fifteei minutes the most intelligent exposition of Shakespeare's genius that it has eve been my fortune to listen to. And th< "whole thing was done so easily, anc with such an entire absence of effort that it was not until he had finishec that we all began to realize that w< had been under the spell of a profoanc critic and an accomplished orator.

John McCallough rushed ove and grasped his hand enthusiastically and thanked him for the honor of hi presence, and begged his name tha the company ought to know to whor thev were indebted. For the first tim - v - - i * i c 13i? old man seemea no lose ms i>en possession. He articulated a few words but it was plain bis emotions were get tiiig the better of him.

Boys Reared by Wolves. l In his eminently interesting work en titled *'Jangle Life in India," Mr. Bal b . has adduced good reasons for believing that the old classical story of the rearing & of Romulus and Remus by a she wol - may be founded on fact.

One of his stories is supportec bj a letter from Professor Max Muller It says : "A trooper sent by a nativ< governor of Chaudaur to demand pay 9 ment of some revenue was parsing alonj the bank of the river about noon, whei he saw a large female wolf leave her den followed by three whelps and a iittl< boy.

They tried to make him speak, but could get nothing from him but- an angry growl or snarl." Another instance is quoted as having occurred at Chr.pra. A Hindoo father and mother went out to cut their crop in March, 1S-13.

Blackwood's Magazine: There is a strong g i and very natural propensity to hoard t ! amon? them; and the possession of | wealth having always been synonymous e i with persecution, when it- was discov_ | ered, has led to habits of secrecy in re! gard to it; so that the first instinct of i a peasant who, by some fortunate ac^ cident acquires a sum of money, is to ; bury it, and not disclose its existence, > > even to his wife and family. Under the g i oven is a favorite hiding-place, as there 0 i is a certain security in a tire being gent erally burning over it. Even to the L I last, men have been known to guard } ! the secret, dying with it uurevealed : r_; and there can be little doubt that a j good deal o' money has been lost in ' j this way, and that, if we add the stores j of the ancients to those of modern n j times, the country must contain a con u ! siderable amount of hidden treasure. > j This is confirmed to some extent by the 's ; fact that the ideas of the peasantry are 0 | always running upon hidden treasure. )V j I received a curious evidence of this .* i upon one occasion when I was trying ^ | to induce a man to sen me some anj : tiqti.es which he had dug out of a ! mound. Among tliem heiuadvertentlv j said there was a large earthern jar?oh L | which his wife interrupted him, and a j i violent argument took place between ^ i them. She objected strongly to her j husband selling the jar, on the ground ? j that if it came to the ears of tne gov)m eminent they would certainly be ac^ cused of having stolen the treasure which it contained, and be forced to pay and"reluctance to reveal the possession of money, by spending it, we have but to ^ look a little closely to see the evidences j of an increasing material prosperity all through Egypt. In many of the smaller ~ i towns new houses are springing up ? i rapidly ; at !\TedinetelFayoum, Minieh, ~ j Bhcda and other placeswhicli I visited, g this was observable; land which had " j been allowed to run out was being ' ! taken back into cultivation ; the Fay? j oum especially has taken a marvelous { start within the last two years. 3 j " I j Capsized by a Fish. II A romantic story comes from Clay31 ton, one of the many resorts on the St. , ! Lawrence. Almost every day during t | the summer a young woman, the danghi | ter of a wealthy merchant of Ottawa, 1 j had been seen sailing along the Arnerl ican shore, trolling for large fish.

A writer in a West Virginia paper sa. s that the Shenandoah Valley, when first settled, 1G0 years ago. was an open j prairie like region, covered with tall1 grass, on which herds of deer, buffalo ^ ^ ^ '' ^ A? 4irAl\A*? ArrArtwf ' LA1IU VX2L iCU, ttUU V4U>UIU KJX Litu^vl V'AOCj/u on occasional ridges ; but that after i: ; became settled trees sprang up almost, : as thickly and regularly as if seed had ! been planted. These forests, having i been preserved by the farmers, cover hot a large part of the surface cf the valley with hard wood trees of superior j excellence. The explanation of this j change is that previous to the settle-1 ment of the valley annual fires, negli gently started by Indians, burned up the voting trees and prevented the formation of forests, but with the arrival of settler? these fires were preven'ed ; and the opinion is asserted that the treeless character of the Western prairies ; Is owing to the Indian practice of an- : uually burning the grass. Were it not : for that, dense forests would have cov- ! ered these vast plains for centuries. i THE LIVING WATERS. Ttjc liock Which Closes Smote at Ktidcsh. ! The Rov. Henry Clay Trumbull's accotant of his recent discovery of the probable site of the Kadesh Barnea, j where the children of Israel rested for so long in their forty years of nomadic life between Egypt and the promised land, is published in the quarterly statement of the English Palestine exploration society; and the society accept his identification without reserve. This is one of the most important services possible to the history and geography of the Bible. Kadesh is the place in the Arabian desert "where the people chode with Closes," complaining that he had brought mem jnto a wilderness where they arid their cattle would die, saying "it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates ; j neither is there any water to drink." I Then the Lord bade Moses to gather | the assembly together, and take his j stand with Aaron, and "speak to the ! rock" and it should give forth water. But Moses appears to have lost all his i proverbial meekness, and in a very i spiteful mood he mocked the people ! and the Lord both, saying: "Hear now, j ye rebels?must we fetch you water out of this rock,"?ss if he were doing it : himself; and he "lifted up his hand : and with his rod he smote the rock j twice and the water came out abun: dantly, anJ the congregation drank, i and their beasts." The waters were i called of Meribah, that is, "strife." ! It was because of this behavior here : that Moses was forbidden to enter the 1 promised land. The messengers who 1 brought back the grapes of Eshcol from i that land weve sent from Kadesli. Mr. i Trumbull quotes from several author | ities to show that, 2s Dr. William omxta | said, "to determine the position of Ka| desh itself is the great problem of the ; whole route." The Rev. John Rowi lands in 1S25 fonnd a fountain beariDg | the name Kades or Quadis, a name havj ing the same meaning with the Hebrew j Kadesh, and confidently identified the place. His view has been accepted by | many scholars,oilakvnot by all; while i very oddly, in these h early forty years, | no traveler has visited the place, though ! many travelers have coolly pronounced i Rowlands mistaken in the location, the | peculiarities and the names attaching ! to it. Mr. Trumbull mentions among j the reasons why the wells discovered by j Rowlands have not been found since 1 that they are in the territory of the i Azazimeh Arabs, while the guides of | the region are Tehayah Arabs, and not | on good terms with the others : that ' the Bedawin don't like to show Chris| tians their sacred wells, and that few j travel over the route he took. But "pej culiar circumstances" helped him, and i last April he found the disputed well 1 of Quadis and also the wells of Quadi /"V? ^1, krtra Giraij ana vjustuitiLi, wiiitu vwvu ! visited by several oilier travelers, ^ho I Lave thought that Rowlands misapplied ! the name of Quadis to one or the other j of them. Mr. Trumbull found a Jebel j Quadis, a Wady Quadis and an Ain Quai dis in complete accordance with the J description of Rowlands ; and the well i is at the head of Wady, which is "an I extensive and fertile plain," abounding j with remains of rudo stone buildings I and other ruins which show it was once i a well-peopled region. His picture of I the place of the waters is as follows: i ' 'It was an casis unappr oach ed by any I had seen in the desert since leaving Feiran, and not surpassed within its limits by that. It was carpeted with grass and ' flowers. Fig trees laden with fruit were j against its limestone hill-sides. Shrubs ! in richness and variety unbounded. | Standing out from the mountain range j at the northward cf the beautiful oasis j amphitheater was the 'large single j mass or small hill of solid rock^which ! Roylands looked at as the cliff (seinj I smitten bj Moses to canse it to 'give forth its water' when its flowing had I ceased. From beneath this cliff came j the abundant stream. A well, walled | up with time-worn limestone blocks, waa I the first receptacle of the water. Not J far from this was a second well simi| larly called, supplied from the same i sourcc. Around both these wells were ancient watering troughs of limestone, i Several pools, not walled up, were also j supplied from the stream. On from the lino of these pools a gurgling stream flowed musically for several hundred yards and then lost itself in the verdure covered desert. The water was clear and "VoforVthe cliff and around its neighboring wells, camel and goat a ring was trodden down as if by the accumulation of centuries, showiDg that the place was much frequented for watering purposes."

The I caoutchouc melts and is then collected I as a liquid, which may be found useful j in making water-proof covers. It has been found by Mr. P.

This question, M. Gley, a j French physiologist, has attempted to VYCX UJ C-XJLTCJLiJLU^JU.i/o self. When he applied himself to a subject which he had a difficulty in understanding thoroughly, and Lad, therefore, to concentrate all his energies upon it, the rhythm of the heart was far more accelerated than when he took up some matter with which he was well acquainted. A novel pair of scissors has been de' vised by HerrSievert, of Dresden. The ; blades are represented by two circular steel knives, which slightly overlap at the edges and are pressed together by two spiral springs. The knives are fastened to a pair of wooden roller? with India rubber rims, which grip-aid guide j the cloth or paper as it passss between i the knives, avfitter may cut straigftT These cutters are carried by Liwoilandles, or levers, "which are held ^uTiie hand, and the cutting is effected by pushing the scissors forward so as to j acuse the rollers to revolve. Dr. Kirk has determined with accur- j acy the plant which yields the best East African India rubber, and tas ob- j tained seeds of the species for introduc-! tion into India. It occurs in great : abundance along the newly-made road from Dar-es-Salaam, in ,? . west-south- j westerly direction, tor aoeat a nunarea | miles toward the interior of Africa, through the Wazamaro country. It is j apparently but little affected by the j reckless mode of tapping employed. In many parts a native can still collect about three pounds of rubber daily, j There are five species of the tree, but j only one of them is considered woith tapping. Cattle Raiding in South America. 1 Cattle raising on the River Platte, in South America, has made a great advance within a few years past-, and in the south of the Republic, particularly, the business is fast extending. Present prices are said to be unprecedented and to cause surprise at the readiness with which they arc accepted. Breeding was comparatively new to the raisers as late as 1S7G, and was confined then to the hands of a few persons who 13 :e CUiUU uiiuru, *1 UeceNNU>, LV lwao ocveral thousand head of cattle by Indian depredations and epidemics.

In o rtftwacnnnflenf.'s inrmirv i as to wliere he could obtain a steel j jacket, a New York Sun reporter visited j gunsmiths' shops to learn whether life saving apparatus was known to the : trade as well as life-destroying appli-; ances. He visited eight first-class shops j i of tbis kind, and no one in them had j i ever heard of such steel jackets made or sold in this country. Some bullet-j proof vests, it was said, had been made at one time by a firm in London, which | ! o nnf nf flm Ivncinocs SiiaIi 111 in CTS AO XX\J IT VUV ? 0_ are made now in Paris, and might be j i imported. j At two shops, one on Broadway and : the other on Maiden lane, it was said ,' that such jackets had been made in : America. In the Broadway establish-11 ment the proprietor described a vestI i that bad been much used, he said, by 11 officers in the late war. The vests were ; i made to order, and sent to the front, j ] Privates never bought them, because < they were expensive. Cavalry officers j especially bought them, not only be- j. ! cause they were heavy, but also because j they kept the body as stiff as thfugri j it was in a strait jacket. The tailor's I work was simply to make sttrng pockets on each side that >\siched to the L bottom of his milita.y jacket in front, j g i and well arnuia* on each side. Solid i ^ plates o* steel were slipped into the ! pockrvS, and when the jacket was but-! . bned the plates met in front. They ; reached from the collar bone to the ^ gioiu. The steel plate was little more v than twice as thick as a sheet of blotting j ^ paper. The inventor tested these plates j by putting them into an old jacket, j buckling it around a tree, and firing at it at point-blank range. It was found j ? mat a twisting oan irom a nne wouiu. ; go through them as though they were ^ sheets of paper, but a pistol ball, even at close range, would be stopped and 1 ? the plate indented. A bayonet or knife j ^ would make no impression. This bullet- j ?( proof vest weighed about five pounds, j In the Maiden laneBshop it was said ? by the proprietor that chain-armor j ^ vests had been made by his firm, a^ : thongh none were kept in stock, and the | ' proprietor did not seem to be over anx- j ious to receive an order for one. It was j more bother than it was worth to make i them, he said, since inquiries were: made for such wares only three or four ' ^ times in a year. The inquiries always i came from the Southwestern States. ! The vests were made, the proprietor said, in New York by a man in the em- ^ ploy of this firm. The workman's name . the proprietor refnsed to divulge; say- i J ing that the man was an artist in this and in other ways, and that it wouldn't be for the interest of the firm to make j j his name public. The skill required to 1 , make these vests, continued the propri- j, rtnr lav in ffiA npr*#> household. ~ Corn Smnt.

Any farmer who has been accustomed j ;o raising apples and has been nni-1 formly successful will doubtless say i that if he es^cts to get good crops he treats the orchard as he does for any other crop. He manures it, and he finds that a manure that will do for most other crops will do for tne crop of apples. It is the neglect to manure orchards at all that causes them to bear so poorly and the trees to look in bad j condition; nothing is better than wood ! ashes for orchards, if we had the ashes; i but nearly everybody burns coal, except j -f z-vf_fhO.TI-Qf nA/?f,inns_ and I Ill UCA laiJJ. VUU VA-wi^v n *~j ,, we must therefore resort to something ! else. Next to wood ashes there is no fer-1 fcilizer better than barnyard manure. A liberal application of this, if only once in three years, with careful pruning and scraping of tho trees and ferreting out i the borers and all other insects which j lay concealed under the bark, "will soon ' make a change in the productiveness of j the orchard. October and November are the best months to apply the manure and to give the trunks of the trees a good scraping off of all old bark. If the trunks were washed with whale oil soap, say one pound to a bucket of water, there would not be many insects left alive after the operation. The Pispen. Paralysis of the hind quarter in pigs is i sometimes caused by inflammation of and consequent effusion upon the animal marrow, causing pressure and loss of nerve power. Sensation and power : of action may often be restored by the J application of a mild irritant to the i loins. Turpentine or a thin paste of; mustard rubbed upon the loins over the j spine generally leads to a cure. It is ' brought on by colds and damp quarters, i or exposure to cold rains, and is more frequent in young pigo than old ones, i A chill will sometimes produce it sud- J denly. The thoroughbred pig, in start- j ing a herd, is chiefly valuable in breed- j ing to common stock. By using a thor- j cughbred boar upon common sows a half i blood is obtained that does very well for i breeding purposes, which can be further j improved by selecting the best sow pigs, | feeding them liberally and again getting I a thoroughbred boar to use with them. If this is practiced a year or two it will produce pigs equal to pure blood. But grade or impure males should never be used, as the tendency is to run back to the scrub. The thoroughbied, if purchased youngr, can ba obtained for a j small sued- tta ("in iio wkxl oh4 comoo i .nd then sold, or castrated and fed, j when he ^ill, of himself almost or qnit6 pay for hid original cost.

Some Interesting Objects to be Seen on | Governov'n Island. The Military Institution of the United : States, "which was organized in June, 1 187S, has established at its headquarters, on Governor's Island, a museum of objects not wholly but chiefly military, 'which is unique in its way. Gen- i era! Hancock is president of the institution, and Captain J. M. Sanno, of the Seventh Infantry, is curator of the mu- i seum. Captain Sanno related to a New i Tni-V rpnnrter recently the history of 1 some of the curiosities. "We arrange them in five distinct j classes," said Captain Sanno; "arms j and armor, the various articles taken j from onr American Indians, battle Hags, pictures (including portraits of many distinguished generals), and trophies and relics. The most unique thing j among the arms is No. 223, a pair of i muzzle-loading, flint-lock pistols, "with . a spiiDg bayonet attachment. They were made in London about a hundred years ago. If you failed to kill your j man with the bullet you touched "this ; spring, and the bayonet, which lies j along the top of the barrel, flew up and j extended itself rigidly six inches in [ front of the muzzle. Then you fin ished your man with cold steel." A lifelike stuffed horse is one of the prized objects in the museum. "That's ! Winchester," said Captain Sanno, "the j charger made immortal by Thomas Bu- j chanan Bead's poem. General Phil, i Sheridan, under whom the horse was j twice wounded, sent him here. Talk- j inc of horses, here is a photograph of ?o ? ' the only living creature found by our men on Little Big Horn, Caster's last battle-field. It is the horse Comanche, which was found wounded by seven bullets and lying bv +he side of his dead master, Colonel .. Comanche has recovered, has been adopted by the Seventh Cavalry as regimental charger, and by special orders is forever exempted from labor. "Those chessmen and that chessboard yonder were made by the daughter of General Worth from part of the flagstaff which stood in the City of Mexico when General Scott took the city in 1847. Miss "Worth has lent us also these 'Washington vignettes.'" The vignettes are letters fotir inches high, forming the name of Washington, each letter displaying pictorially some notable incident in Washington's life. The vignettes lie on an extremely ancient-looking carved card table, with hollows for the "fish" or counters, which was frequently used by General Wosliino-trvn. and is one of a Dair pre sented by him in 1782 to Judge Berrien, of Rocky Hill, 2s*. J. "Nothing in the museum," said Captain Sanno, "is more fully authenticated than this table. Washington's farewell address, by the way, was written at Rocky Hill! "This faded tassel," Captain Sanno went on, "'was taken from the canopy over the Speaker's chair of the Confederate Congress on the day of the evacuation of Richmond. Here are the lock and key from the old sugar-house prison where the British confined their prisoners of war in 1780. These two oldfashioned horse-pistols, with flint locks, people generally take to be relics of the war of the Revolution. As a matter of fact they were found in tne possession of an officer of the Confederate army, who was taken prisoner in the late war. It is a fact, sir, that the man had come into battle with those primitive pistols. I suppose they served his great-grandfather, and he thought they would suffice for him." "What are these old papers ?" asked the reporter, pointing to some yellowlooking printed sheets lying in a glass case. "ml ^ "Rnolia'c Pltila. "jLxxey art: cujnco ui delphia Aurora, published September, 4, 1799, and the Genius of Liberty, published July 11, 1809. In the same case are two old legal documents. One, signed by Santa Anna, was captured in the war with Mexico in 1817; the other is an old conveyance bearing date 1787, and signed by Patrick Henry. What do yon think of that for calligraphy?" Patrick Henry had signed the conveyance in a copper-plate hand resembling the "book-keeper's hand" of the present day. "This homely piece of wood," said the guide, "is a part of Martin Luther's pulpit, obtained by Colonel L. L. Lang<3on during a recent visit made by him to the Stadt Kirche in which Martin Luther preached in the town of Wittenberg." "What is in that box?" asked the reporter, pointing to a big, square, oldfas bioned chest on the floor. "That chest is filled with paints, pigments, brushes, mahlsticks and other articles used by Hogarth. The contents of the box are just as they were left by him. We could get its weight in gold for that box and its contents." Lying in a case were two bullets socketed together. "We call them the t.nn'n Vmllpf.s from Waterloo." said Cap tain Sauno. "One is English and the other French. It is evident that they mnst have met in mid-air during the battle." "What is there remarkable about this J bent gun-barrel ?" ^ "The musket to which th&JigJKn>"be-! longed was one of iMfcclTbelonging to j the NinetysSxfE" Pennsylvania Volun-' struck by a shell at Spottsylvania ' Court-house,Va.,May 9,1864. The barrel; was bent into its present shape by the : shell, which at the same time discharged j the other muskets, killing six officers 1 and men." "And this curious-looking cradle?" "It was captured by the late Lieuten-: ant Henly, Sixth Cavalry, in an affair ' with the Cheyennes. A chance bullet i passed through the cradle, killed the pappoose, and then slew the mother. | These are Apache playing-cards (spread- j ing out several squares of soiled paste-1 board, adorned with rudely-drawn designs). There are forty in a pack. An j ipache card-player would gamble away is grandmother with the most affec- ; ;ionate resignation. Here (turning to ; i sort of skin or fur cape, from whicL : Jepended a great many thin locks of lark hair, from four to eight inches in : length), is the war dress of an Indian ' jhief. Each piece of hair is from the j lead of a different warrior under his jommand. Whenever the chief dons ! ;his dress it means war, and the owners j )f the various locks of hair hastily arm { themselves and follow him without a 1 jnestion. These two carious-looking j iffairs are pipes. One was formerly the property of One-Eye-Ten-Bears, and i vas smoked in council by that Coman- j :he chief. The other solaced the idle j lours of Red Cloud, the celebrated 3ioux leader." "Where did that cutlass come from?" "That is an East India weapon, and yas presented to an American gentlenan bv Jung Bahadur, Prince of Kepaul." Among the portraits which adorn the i rails are those of Washington, Napo-1 eon, Generals Sccfct, Sherman, Sheriian, Hancock, W">rth, Gibson, Brown : ; md Atkinson. Visitors are always made : welcome to the museum. J! ______ The Jcdicions "Waters of Carlsbad. j! Not the least curious pari of the effec; j >f these wonderfallj impregnated ; j waters are the exactly opposite effects ] hey have on different people. Ami;s- ; ng dialogues may frequently be heard i 1 n consequence. The daughter of a cor - ; picuous New York publicist had been ; Irinking from the Fredericksbrunn for one time, when, meeting a New York i .cquaintance, a youne: girl, she asked ' a astonishment: "What are you drinkng from this sprisg for?" "To gc-t lesh," promptly responded the other. 'Why," exclaimed the first, indignantly, * Tm drinking it to get thin." Then the j wo girls tore over to their physician, a ; elebrated professor from Vienna, and } >eset bim for deceiving them. He ex- .* laincd that the water on certain confutations would have one effect and ipon another a directly opposice. The iris retired, by 110 means convinced of his miraculous discrimination of the prings, but at ',he end of four weeks he doctor was justified. The stout girl ad lost seventeen pounds of flesh and he delicate girl had gained nine. j / i j V . . * : Following: Wild Bees. A gentleman, an old bee hunter, told a story how he once took some honey out in the woods, warmed it on stones, then left it there as a sort of feeding place for the bees, and a day or two af- j terwards noted the direction in which ! they went after leading themselves, and i by following them some distance found ! there were two lines of bees running : parallel to each other. In about three j hours he found one tree, marked it, and ' then again set out his honey. In a shortj time he took the other line for the ' other tree. He hunted and hunted for ; a long time without success. Finally ' reaching a cliff of rocks, while trying I to pick his way down, he accidentally ' slipped and slid to the bottom. Some what stunned he lay a few minutes, and ; looking up to see how far he had come, ; lo! and behold his experienced eye saw ; bees going in and out of a hole in a : tree within a few feet of him. From ! those t tro trees he took eighty or ninety i pounds of honey, with a considerable i quantity of beeswax, and considered it: one of the most successful hunts he , ad ever had. Besides honey, there is ; bed in bee hunting a strong flavor of ! young clover, as it is called, of which the bees, seemingly, are fonder than honey itself. The proper way to trace j bees is to heat a stone, drop honey on it. have the comb near by, and the1 heated honey will immediately draw; the bees, who will then find the comb ; and proceed to load themselves with it; and return to their homes. It requires j a sharp eye to follow the line, but the j term "a bee line" is well known to be a line straight as an arrow, and all the ; i bee hunter has to do is to got the course I of the bee and follow it straight until! I he has reached the vicinity of the tree, [ as near as he can judge, after which he j ! he will try his honey again, and so tell I | whether he has not yet reached it or j j gone by. Some hunters select a good, j j lively bee, throw flour over him, and | ; then by noting the time it requires for | j that bee to unload himself and return, ! get a good idea of the distance.?Kingston (Ar.
