WEDNESDAY? APR??T^
Bees Like Men.
The Anatomy and Physiology of
Bees wa? the sobject of a lecture re?
cently delivered by Mr. John As pin wall,
at the Cooper Institute, New York.
Tbe lecture was illustrated by stereopli
can views. The Now York Times give.s
this amusing acooaat of it:
While ia its physical make-up the
bee is ia many respects the opposite of
maa ia its habits and tricks, yet it very
much resembles the lord of creation,
and were bees to be transformed Hito
?en, some would undoubtedly go into
the police force, or in the board of al?
dermen, while there woukt not be a
few successors to Jake Sharp, and lo
tbe inexperienced young toughs who
get clubbed by the police, and are then
sent up to the penitentiary for -?-shon
esty and general "gass.'' Tfc> occupa?
tions of walking delegate and dude
mashers are also found in apiarian so?
ciety.
The little bee, that is, the worker, is
a boroy-skioned child of toil. It is in?
cased in rings and shields of smooth
horn to shield it against attacks of its
own species, and it toils as long as there
is light. /It has not got backbone like
a manderai mule, but instead it has a
?&le stieg that serves its purpose just
as well, and thus manages to maintain
?its rights. Between its tongue and
acing there is a complicated mechanism
. ihzt is of great use to the farmer and
*"*o nature. Aside from the hooey that
fit distils, and which is worth thousauds
of dollars annually to the farmer and to
commerce, its habit of pokicg its head
into flowers and covering it with pollen,
which it brushes off into other flowers,
renders it a benefactor to nature in fer?
tilizing Sowers.
Before the advent of the bee in Aus?
tralia, i-. was impossibl? to get any j.
seeds of red clover there. Of course j
its process of storing honey might not j
suit the most fastidious taste, but honey
is partially digested case-sugar, made
so by the aid of bee saliva, bot as the -
bee ia a perfectly clean little animal that
revels in nectar all day long, these little
irregularities oust be overlooked. Be?
sides, it uses ? diSereai mouth ?for the
boney.
The bee is * ^gwoirflyer, but as its
wiags are smaller -in proportion to its
body than are those-of lise eagle to the
ting of birds, it his to^9ap them more ?
frequently, eo it fiaps away at the rate
? of 446 flaps to the mi mite, li has no
langs, but a system of tiny air-tubes
extend through all parts-of the body, *
and these it . packs with air when it
wants to fly. Neither has it a heart,
but a dorsal vessel that pumps the blood
to the head. The head, as magnified \
on the sereeo, is not a beautiful object,
aod as it is not the centre of the ner?
vous systero.it would not miss it very :
reusch if oct -off, if it were not for the
. eyes, two of which have 4,000 lenses
i each to see the honey-flowers afar off,
. and two others to assist in doing the
:miscroscopical work in the hive.
The entrances to the hive are very
.carefully guarded by sentinels, and j
.every bee on arriving at the door isl
. uhaiieogedby themwitb-their antenna, p
.If it can give the countersign it is ad
>mitted to the sanctuary, but if itcancot, j
it is in danger, for bees are very ner?
vous insect?, and draw stings on the
.slightest provocation. The applicant
.must be a thief, and old thieves are de- j
tected by experienced sentinels, but the j '
jform of challenging ro?st be gon~
through first. The old thief-bee is fat. .'
sleek, shining and very suave. If
caught by sentinels it will at once try
to make a deal and offer the policemen
some sugar, and while they are eating,
it either slips in and fills up at the cells, j
or it retreats and tries another hive. If i
the sentinels are incorrupt ibis, the thief j
bumps itself, then draws tts horny I
shields tight around it so that thc stings
of the policemen may not penetrate. j
and runs. A young thief stands up to ?
ifigHt, and gets ciubhed. It learns by j
experience.
The queen-bee has not such a very j
easy time. She has pleuty to eat and I
eats it, and flies very little ; but as she \
bas to lay all the eggs of the colony, j
and often lay? more than -her weight of r
eggs in one day. thc bees begrudge her j
nothing, but let her have her own way
everywhere.
The drone is the dude and walking :
delegate of the hive. Ile is not very .
numerous, however. -Ile ,:s fat and;
spends his time eating Louey, -flirting j
with the girls and the queen, and then \
takes a quiet nap in the sun. When j
his charms no longer please Leis driven j
out, and if he cannot get a berth in j
another hive, he starves. The little
worker, however, according to thc Iee- !
turer, does not fare much better. She ;
lives for about six ~eek.?, whoa f?he be- j
becomes feeble, her wings get. toro and j
fringed, and she lies down to die in the ?
.field, refusins to return to the hi7e and |
become a burden to the clony.
It is Getting Ridiculous.
Judge Aldrich, according to tho,
World, speaks uf County officers wit" :
'run their hand to the elbow iuto the
county treasury.7
The salaried officers cf the County j
arc Auditor. Treasurer and fhrer
County 'Commissioners. And their j
aggregated salaries amount to r. good j
deal less than the salary of the j
Governor or a ;Circuit .Judge, and are j
about equal to the salary of one State ;
officer.-Netcher ry Glsn: i vr.
President Harrison sometimes jukes, !
as witness the following:
Representative Grosvenor, se'.ing for ;
his colleague. Mr. Butterworth, intro- !
duced to the President Mr. Child. the
Ohio candidate for public printer. Mr. j
Child at once peized upon the opportu?
nity to speak in his own behalf. Ile ;
said that if made public printer he ;
would be entirely free from entangling
alliances, and could exercise the duties
of the office without fear or f,:vor.
"I have made no promise to any
one,'* he said. '*I am not pledged to
mao, woman or child."
**Aod yet," said the President, look- !
ing him straight in the face as he said
it, "and yet voa want nie to pledge
myself to 3 Child.''
Some time ago Judge l'ressley. who
lives in Summerville, was fined fur the ;
violation of an ordinance of the town
which prohibits any one from cultivating
moro than the eighth of an acre of
land within the incorporate limits. Ile
appealed, and Judge Witherspoon, !
after hearing argument, dismissed the
?ppeal and affirmed the decision of the
town council
MOTES OF KIDNAPERS.
AfW CHILDREN ARE SO OFTEN
STOLEN FROM THEIR HOMES.
People Afflicted with a Mental ' Dera?gs
tnent Which Prompts Them to the Com
mission o? the Crime'-Celebrated Cases,
Includin? That of Charley Koss.
Why are children stolen? Not many
of thom are kidnaped in tho hope of pe?
cuniary reward. Cases of this sort, such
as the Charley Ross abduction, are rare.
Revenge may be the motive in exception?
al instances, but usually it turns ont that
the-parents of the stolen child were ut?
terly unknown to tho abductors. That
ihs incentive is a pure Jove for children
and the desire to have a child is dis?
proved by the fact that nine times in ten
the stolen one is wofully abused and
maltreated. Probably the most satisfac?
tory explanation is that certain people
are affected by a peculiar mental de?
rangement which prompts them to the
commission of the crime without malice
aforethought. It is, in fact,, child klep?
tomania, although this peculiar phase
of mania has not been dignified with a
scientilic name of its own, in. the book.
SOT OFTEN FOR LOTE.
Even this theory: falls short when we
tliink of tho numerous cases in which,
without apparent moti ve, two or three
persons unite to-do . tho stealing. They
cannot each be afflicted simultaneously
tc such an extent.
That a child stolen by a partially insane
person should be inhumanly treated is no
cause for wonder; it naturally follows
that any ono with so distorted a sense of
right and wrong, .necessarily without a
moiety of love or feeling, .would not be
capable of tenderness or even considera?
tion.
In 1S15 a child named Lambert was
stolen from her parents in Baltimore by
s young woman, apparently sane, purely
because she .wanted it to keep. She was
3 Tested a few days 'iater, and.the, child
was found mangled and bleeding, and
almost dead. The evidence showed that
the child had been maltreated "because
it wouldn't walk fast enough.''
Of course, there are many cases.when
ike. abduction is due to abnormal love
and yearning, pure and simple. A well
known judge the other day said: "Last
summer I sent my family to England.
My little girl, 4 years old, being too
young to stand the trip, was placed in
the care of .a friend of mine, whose
family consists of a wife and . one child.
When the folks came back in the autumn
I went to get the child, but do you think
he was willing, to give her up? Not much.
Uo said: Tve had.this child six months
pow, and I don't propose to part with
lier. .You lia ve. a large family, and can
just as weil spare that little girl as not.
Now, if you goto law about it.and re?
cover the child, as I suppose you can, I
shall regard you. as unworthy of respect
andr will never speak-to you. as long as I
.ive.' This from a friend of years stand?
ing! He was in earnest, too. I ulti?
mately got thc child, but my friend and
I are strangers yet."
NOT YET FORGOTTEN.
vir.y mention of child stealing always
recalls the Charley Ross -.ease. So cele?
brated, was the affair that now, sixteen
years after, it has not to a great degree
faded out of the popular mind, though
perhaps the details have.
Christian K. Ross lived in a hr.ndsome
dwelling, -, isolated by a. large yard, in
Germantown, a "Philadelphia suburb.
One July afternoon all of the family hap?
pened to bc absent save two young broth?
ers, aged -1 and S years. They were play?
ing together in tho front street when two
men drove up in a covered wagon. One j
of the men jumped out and addressed !
the lirtb boys, offered them candy, and j
finally persuaded them tc take, a ride.
After driving a short distance the elder
brother was given some money and sent
on an errand for more candy. He re- j
turned in a few minutes, but tho wagon !
had disappeared, and Charlo;.- Ross Las ;
not been, seen to this day. The crime was j
committed to escort a ransom for the re- j
turn of the child, but tho abductors' fear J
of .capture was so great that no agree- j
ment between them and the father was I
ever successfully carried out. The search
for the missing child waa pursued un?
ceasingly and thoroughly. Prominent
Philadelphias interested themselves in
the matter, and seemingly; no. stone.wr< ;
loft unturned. Countless trips were maae
to Europe, every gypsy camp in thc world
-was searched; tho identity of over 400 !
children was investigated, but without ;
avail. Two men were fatally shot while j
Committing a burglary on Long Uland !
the fellowing year, and while dying con- j
fessed that they had stolen thc child, but 1
did not divulge its whereabouts.
A third conspirator was subsequently !
convicted of complicity and sentenced to
a longterm in prison, protesting his in?
nocence and denying ail knowledge of j
tho adair. It is the popular theory.that !
the abductors, at las* finding themselves
close pre ssed, murdered the child. Mr.
Ross is living doun ;:t Germantown, a
worn out. heart broken oldman, but still
hoping on that some day. somehow, the
little fellow w.iil tome back-little no
longer, but to his Jobing memory tho
?jame blinny faced, golden haired boy of
sixteen years ago.
Titree years before tito disappearance !
of the Ros3 boy Freddie Lei!.?, a pretty
iittio child of 5 years, was stolen ia about
the same manner at t?*aincy. Ii io. 1 Ie was
never recovered, although the father ini
poverishecLhimseif in the search.
One of the most mysterious cases of re?
cent years was. tho stealing, of LillieShaf?
ner, a 14-months-old baby, hi this city
about live years a.go. The family lived
on Wesson street, und two older c?iiltiren
were .wheeling ti;.'/ baby to and fro ia
front (<f the house. A strange woman
stopped, and afternlayingwith the baby
a moment gave the other.children some
money to go buy candy. When they re?
turned the woman and child had disap?
peared. It was ascertained that she had
boarded a passing street car with the
baby ia her anns, but that was the last
ever seen of either.-Chicago Tribune.
A SPORTSMAN'S TROPHIES.
M>. Von ?Ic r VWitern*s Collection ?>r Herr
Horn?. G mis, life.
Mr. W. Von ?I- r Wettern. Sr., who re?
sides at No. tl'-'- West Saratoga street, ii
one of the b< st ported sportsmen ia Bal?
timore. Ile veas originally a for? ster in
Germany. The riile is his choice gun.
and, while he is fond of small game
shooting. large game has been his favor?
ite sport. That he is a master hand at
riile shooting a case <<. tv. i nty gold un d
als attest?.
Like ail ard< nt sportsmen Mr. Von d< r
Wettern h;:s preserved many trophies of
the chas", his collection of deer and
other bonis being one of the ti nest, if
not the finest, ia tia-- eountry. The
horns number over 300 pair, ami are val?
ued at over $10.000. They were ail beau?
tifully mounted by Mr. Vern <?< r Wei
tern, and, as he keeps them for his own
pleasure, the immense amount of work
which he has spent on them lias been a
source of pleasure.
On reaching the fourth floor of Mr.
Von d?T Wot tern's dwelling the \ isitor
finds himself confronted by a passage,
the walls of which are studded with
mounted horns, under which are a lot ol
. rill's tide?! with song birds. Tho horns
arc of ni! Linds and ?o arranged above
and rJ>out lue cages as to remind: tl?e
locker on of a rose bush with its thorns
guarding thc roses. In two rooms 'lead?
ing from the passage aro neatly and sys?
tematically arranged nearly 300 pairs of
horns. The mounting is artistic. Each
pair is a true pair, beiny attached by the
frontal bone of the animal to which they
belonged. By the means of screws pass?
ing through this bone thc horns aro at?
tached to tho shield shaped wooden
panels, the size of tho panels being in
conformity with the horns. Tue panels
are attached to the walls by hooks, so
that they may be eas?y handled.
There are horns that would have been
the pride of old hunters in the days when
rifles were loaded from horns and
pouches; horns that would adorn the
halls of a mansion: horns that the dude
would give up his. last dollar for, so that
his cane and umbrella handle might bo
the envy of his fellow chappies; horns,
big and little, straight and crooked, of
normal and abnormal growth, from for?
eign shores and dii?erent parts of Ameri?
ca, some with and some without a his?
tory; some U'.at would make corkscrews,
some that would make gimlets, some
.that would make i>oat hooks and others
that would make baseball bats and bat?
tle axes. In fact, it would bo hard to
.find a more varied or beautiful collection.
Besides tile horns the sanctum contains
..acollection of pipes and canes of rare
designs, gathered from different parts of
the world.
Mr. Von der ..Wettern has not as yet
catalogued his-collection vf horns, but
on each pair he has attached a ticket
which bears the name of the animal from
which thc horns were taken. The most
striking of the horns are those of the
elk. One pair of these carno from an
Oregon elk, and attached to the horns is
a portion of the skull of tho animal,
neatly fitted into a lifo sized head carved
from wood. The horns are nearly as tall
as a-man, and it takes a lengthy pair of
arms to be abie to span the distance be?
tween the top prongs. One horn contains
nine and tho other seven prongs. Another
pair from a Montana elk, though con?
taining but twelve prongs, weighs thirty
six pounds. The lightest pair weighs
eighteen pounds. Dcor horns from dif?
ferent species of deer naturally form the
larger part of tho collection. Tho finest
specimen is from a : black .tailed deer
killed in Colorado. It has fifteen prongs.
The others rango down to one prong.
Among the deer horns those of tho Ger?
man nobb deer are the most beautiful,
the colors ranging from light brown to a
seal brown and black, the tips of all
being polished white. The largest of the
collection has fourteen prongs.
Mr. Von der Wettern%s firearms are all
adapted to tho sport to which he is de?
voted. Beside* a. regular target ri?e, he
has a case of guns of foreign, and domes-,
tic patterns, generally of smaller bores,
from 12 down to. 16. Some of them, are
combination guns for shot and ball. One
fowling piece has .two sets of barrels of
different caliber which fit the same stock.

A Plumber's Trick.
Tho. Sanitary News .describes a new
plumbers* trick, which lias been first dis?
covered in Milwaukee, but may be known
elsewhere, so that architects and inspect?
ors will do well to te on their guard
against it. In Milwaukee, as in many
other.citier, all soil pipes put up ir.
dwelling houses, must be tested by tilling
them with water. A certain firm, know?
ing that a defective pipe had been used,
contrived to plug it with clay, so that
the water applied for testing it did not
enter the pipe at all. It is nut stated how
the inspector happened tu find out this
ingenious deception, but he did, and the
offending lirai was reported, and pun?
ished by having its license revoked until
the defective pipe should be replaced by
a new one. Most persons will say that
the revocation of the license ought.to
have beep ?made .permanent.-Scientific

.Tne English Dwelling.
T?ie?characteristic English dwelling is
described as a two story brick house,
walled in, and with "the best part of the
house at the back; there are the drawing
and dining rooms, while thc kitchen and
pantries aro in front. In suburban and
country houses the rooms are large and
are arranged around a hall; but the win?
dows and doors are small. The outside
of the house is almost uniformly without
architectural decorations, and the dull?
ness of the climate is seen in the somber?
ness of the furniture and the adornments
of thc house.
The interior is dull and uncheery.
There is .little "sweetness and light'* in
the colors, forms and expressions, except
in the dwellings of moro recent building
and furnishing. Up io within a few
years the inside finish was all of dark
woodend the furniture was mahogany;
of very t heavy and ungainly construc?
tion.
But if you car? dissociate the idea of
comfort from thaf- of art, tho English
home has a very marked spirit of com?
fort. The sofa is easy.-and big and the
chairs were made to use. The walls are
papered, never painted, the papers being
dark and of large pattern. The dining
room is tlie living room of the middle
class families. Such of the family as
remain at home sit in that room during
the forenoon and until after thc noon
aieaL
Were the color of th? English house
less somber and the furniture less cum?
brous; were .the rooms more open and
less separated from cadi other, it would
be the center.of tho most perfect ex?
ternal comfort known to the domestic
life of this world. As it is, tho English
house is the home of sweet love, of
thoughtful civility and of unforgetting
and undying, loyalty.-Good Housekeep?

Tho Tovrer of Dinner.
A distinguished lawyer came out of
his -private office a few days ago and
brusquely told a reporter that he did not
caro to discuss the ?--ri vate affairs of his
chen ts. Ile said it was none of tho pub?
lic's business, and then ho bounced back
into his private office and slammed the !
door. It was important that the reporter i
should get tho news, and so, on the j
strength of past experiences, he called at i
the lawyer's norna that night. The
lawyer had just finished his dinner, and
he came in: o his parlor, his face beam- i
ing with ge: ?iality and aprime cigar, in |
his mouth. He shook "th? reporter's
hand,-and then talked to him for half an
hour, and gave him moro information
than he liad any use for. A light knowl?
