(Atlanta Contitatiim.)
There is one good thing about ret
ting1 stung by a lee. It makes yoii
forget all other troubles for a-little
while. I have had lots of fun with
these bumble bees for the last few days
and it renewed my youth. Time was
when I thought it a big- thing to light
"yeller jackets" and take my chances
with the other boys. The bravest boy
was the biggest fool and would stay at
the hole the. longest and thresh all the
leaves off of his brush and get stung
before he surrendered. I am not that
brave now and I light with exceeding
caution, but I have killed over two
hundred in two days and fought fair
and square. My weapon is a criim pan
and I take "em coming and going, b.ut
they crowd lac sometimes- a. rid. "my
antics j attract' " attention among tha
nabors,' for they can see me in the iip
stairs piazza, and one good lady in
quired if Major Arp was subject to
fits. The bees .come out where, tha
weatherboarding joins the floor and
my repeated assaults have made them
mad generally.,; Up . to this time they
have slung even- .member of the
family, even to the little grandchild
who lives with us, and I'm going to
exterminate thein if it takes all sum
mer. We tried hot water, but it will
not reach them.' .lust think of that
poor little child going round with,
one eye closed and afraid she will
lose the other one; and Mrs. Arp's
head all swelled up with two bumps
. that a phrenologist couldn't diagnose.
! We can't sit in the downstairs piazza
, with any security. It is a bigger
i thing right now than bimetallism or 1
free coinage or the tabernacle meet
ing. In fact, -it is a relief from poli
ties to tight bees and- -Study them in !
the books.
I wish the editors vpuld
holdup awhile -"and go to the woods
and fight yeller jackets or wasps or
hornets and get. stung a few times.
It would be a'Telief to the country and
I have heard that such stings are good
for rheumatism or any nervous affec
tion and 1 know' that it takes the con
ceit out of a ihan for a while.
I My book says that the 'proper name
j is "humbleb-je," but there is no hu-
! mility about these at- ray' house,
j Thefe are from 70 to. :50ft in a colony
j and so I know I have nearly whipped
j the light. They live only- one summer
I and never rebuild in the same place.
The books sa3r there are three kinds
' the masons and the carpenters and
the digsrers, but what they are good
for I don't know unless it is to make a
man more willing to quit this world

The little honey b is a trump and
a wonder from stein to stern. It is
good to ruminate about their wisdom
and skill and their government. Just
think of or. queen being the mother ;
of 20,000 and controlling them all
more .absolutely.- than ' any "-human
mother controls her children. Just
think, of 11,.")IX) workers ; and only 500
drones in a colony. These drones are
the gentlemen, and remind you of our
gentlemen loafers and swells who set
about on the piazzas of the hotels and
watch the girls go by. nt the drones
don't enjoy themselves but a month or
two. The queen gets tired of them and
gives her orders and then tho massacre
of St. Itartholomew begins. In an
hour's time every one is slain stnng
to death by the workers, and their
puffy, bloated carcasses dragged out
and tumbled on the ground: .
There is no little thing in nature
more wonderful than the h one y comb
that these little workers make. Its
.Mathematical construction gives the
most space with the least enclosure,
the arched top and lwttom of every
cell, the exact and uniform thickness
of every division, and the wisdom
shown in shaping- the whole store
house to suit the shape of the hive, is
indeed, marvelous. Then there is the
division of the workers into brigades
and regiments and companies some to
gather honey, some to make wax, some
to build cells, some to stand guard,
some to wait cn the queen and be hev
escort as she moves around, and a
whole regiment to keep their wings
going like revolving fans and supply
fresh air in the .hive.' That fan busi
ness makes the humming that is heard
in the hive day and niyht. It is the
flutter of the wings of the fanners.
How in the world they do everything
in the dark is a wonder to me. I was
talking to my friend, Mr. IJussey,
about it on the train some time ago,
and he told me confidentially that he
was experimenting tcTsee if lie couldent
cross honey bees with lightning bugs
and get up a bee that could see .how to
work at night or in the .dark. lie T.as
applied for - a pateist on the idea, but
whether he has succeeded or not in his
experiment I have not heard. He was
very sanguine, and the only trouble,
he said, was about the cross finding
room in the tail for. the fireworks and
the sting too. Up Mr. Uussey is an
engineer on the State road, and knows
what he is about.
The sting of the bee is said to be the
most perfect war weapon ever invent
ed. Itis exquisite in its -'mechanism.
It is a hollow tube, and yet the point of
the iinest cambric needle is immense
when compared, with it. Under the
microscope the sting is perfect in its
shape and smoothness so much so
that the point is almost invisible,
whereas the point of the needle under
the same glass looks like, a great rough
crowbar with seams and ruts and
ridges all over it. This is the differ
ence between the works of (Jod and
man. And yet the Almighty hand that
made the little bee with his wonderful
instincts and attachments made the
universe the. boundless, limitless uni
verse, where therer are stars to be seen
by the Lord Ross telescope, whose
li-ht takes tiO.oOO years to reach us.

SLEEP IS GOOD

Liberal In-Jnlcnoe Even Induces

a,a Inventor Idiscn I'rovod.
There in nothing like sleep to store
tip nervous energy and put flenh on the
bones, says the Phi ladelphia Pross. In
an article "published f.ome years ago,
and general jrcribed to Oliver Wen
dell IlolmcS, it was recommended that
nervous women be nut to bed anil com
pelled to- day the while they wera
fattenod with nutritious foods, jiv:t as
a chicken ir, fattoucJ formarket. With
the acquirement of fat and the Clling
ipof the reservoirs of nervous strength
the . Cdgety, emotional, whimsical
woman will jjet tin froni her bed an
other being. Thomas -A. Edison, the
electrician, proved by, his own case
now ucsn can oe acquirca ov sicen. '
One week he slept fourteen hours a
day and the next week twenty-twc
hours. The rccult was a gain of seven
pounds in weight. A woman of only
moderate physical strength was asked
how she managed to attend to the
large business f rxra which she gained
support, and the answer was that she
obtained it by sleeping ten hours sis
days and spending the whole of the
seventh day La bed. There has been a
visible advance in the health of the
American people during the past twen
ty or thirty years. Their stock of vi
tality has increased and they live
longer. And while there are , other
reasons for this change, the chief one
Is that people sleep longer and rest
more. The hours 'for work have grad
ually grown fewer. Factory opera
tives are no longer compelled to hurry
to their work at five o'clock in the
morning and ' work until seven o'clock
In the evening.
Business and professional men go to
their counting-room 1 and offices an
hour or more later and leave as much
earlier in the -afternoon. The result ia
more time for tdecp und heater health.
But there is still more room for im
provement in this way. .Walter Be
sant, the English novelist, said a few
weeks ago at Harvard university, when
commenting on the 'graduating class:
"A fine, noble looking lot of young
men.. They are unlike our English
university students physically. I think
our young men, as a mIc, are bigger,
heavier, stouter men. while yours
have more nervous activity than ours.
They are slighter and, perhaps, taller,
but they seem to be more highly
strung nervously." That is the trouble
ivith a majority ot graduates. Not
withstanding the growth of the
athletic spirit in colleges, too many
young men go out into life too "highly
' strung nervous'." There is no better
medicine than good sleep and plenty
of it, and many a boy and man is
crippled in energy by an unwise habit
of getting up too early in the morning.
The American people would bo
happier, there would be less crime
committed if people slept longer. It
is timo the so-called sluggard had his
rights and the man who prefers his
morning snooze to a morning cocktail
is estimated at his proper value.
ADMIRAL MELAIiOTHON SMITH.
The Stirring- Career of a Keccntly De
ceased Naval Veteran.
Admiral Melancthon Smith, who
died recently, came of an historic fam
ily, for his grandfather was Alcxandjr
Hamilton's chief opponent in the New
York state convention which adopted
the constitution, and his father, was a
colonel in the war of 1812 and com
manded Fort Moi'eau in the battle of
Plattsburg, while an uncle was a cap
tain in the navy and fought at Lake
Champlain under HeDonough. The
admiral entered the navy, in 1828 and
saw all sorts of service on sea and on
land, going round the world in 1S2S on
board the Vincennes, commanding a
fort in Florida during the Indian
troubles, acting as executive ofjeer
of the Pensacola navy yard, and
serving as lighthouse inspector from
Maine to Nantucket. When --the war
broke out he received command of the
steamer Massachusetts and helped to
guard the passes of the Mississippi.
October 25, 1801, ho had an engage
ment with tho confederate steamer
Florida and stopped her fire in an
hour. At the passage of "the fort3 be
low New Orleans ho commanded the
' Mississippi and ' destroyed the ram
Manassas. At Port Hudson he lost hi3
ship, which grounded right under the
fire of the enemy. He set her on fire
and abandoned her. His nest ship wa3
the Monongaiicla, with which he par
ticipated in the siege of Pert Hudson.
In command of the Onondaga he co
operated with Gen. Uutler at Dutch
Gup. He had a hot engagement last
ing two days at the mouth of the
Hoanoke river with the ram Albemarle
and two other boats, having a fleet of
four small vcsscla besides the Onondaga
under his command. During both at

VJiethcr "this is a region that will

gorge, more than 3,000 feet below its
base, the Ilio San Juan appears like a
Btk cr thread. The canyon is several
miles wide, and a descent can be made
to the river by a precipitous trail, but
as the river apxroaches the great Col
orado the canyon becomes more nar
row." and the walls more perpendicular,
and when it merges into tho grand
canyon it is- scarcely more than a deep,
dark channel.
The' Navajo -mountain, the jutting
buttes that l::ic the canyon's venre. the
htge bowlders that are lodged on the
canyon s si;ie, and t.ie straight walls 61
the canyon- proper are all points of
wonderful interest, for they are tha
canvas upon which are depicted soma
of the meet r-trange and beautiful pic
togrr.phs that have ever been discov
ered in this, country. Nearly every
bowlder a a picture gallery, and near
ly every smooth .i.r.rfaco is covered
with wyird ar.d fanta;'; tie figures.
Oa the ciuantaht the-e continue to
the very summit, and, as the crowning
.piece, a huge tdoel: of sandstone stands
on the top, the four tides presenting
smooth surfaces. These faces are more
than one hundred feet square, and on
each face is a picture of the sun, with
the figures of sevpn warriors bowed, as
to tho earth, in prayer. Beneath tho
warriors are- many hieroglyphic charac
ters, probably a prr.j-cr to the sun god.
On a bowlder, by the verge of the can
yon, i.-i the picture of a woman-kneeling
iii prayer to the sun. . .
On one . of the canyon walls, micro
than one hundred feet from anything
that could have furnished the barbaric
artist a foot or handhold, there is a
weird ranoramic view in three scenes.
Under a tree a child is sleeping. One
little hand lies across its breast, while
the other has fallen carelessly by its
side. A few feet from the sleeping
babe, a large snake, evidently a rattle
snake, is coiled to strike. Down the
canj-on, toward the west, is scene two.
The snake is crawling away, and the
limbs of the child are drawn as though
in tho last convulsions of death. The
snake has done its deadly work. Still
further down the canon is- scene thrce.
A jvarrior, evidently the father of the
child, with one arm clasps his dead
babe; with the other hand he holds a
club. Upon his face the rude artist
has depicted a look of mortal anguish
and hate. . A snake lies dead at his
feet. This is probably the most beau
tiful picture: ever executed by savage
hands.
On one of the canyon 's walls a war
rior and a maiden are represented,
gayly tripping along, hand in hand,
while two doves are circling around
their heads. Pictographs of the bear
in one place a bear followed by two
cubs the dog, the mountain lion and
the catamount are all to be found.
Many of these are evidently of recent
date, and have probably been executed
by the Navajos. but here and there ona
meets with a dim pictograph that bears
evidence of great age.

A Picture with a History. -In
the Woman's building in tho
French exhibit can be seen one of tho
last pictures painted by that strango
child of genius, Marie Bashkirtseff, in
1883. It is a study of. street gamins,
two boys w!ose faces she has idealized.
They are fully dressed, even to shoes
a.hd stockings. The larger one carries
an umbrella thrust under his arm and
a green leaf is between his lips. Tho
great tragedy of ' life is suggested in
the face of the older boy; that of tho
younger is bolder and more confident.
The picture is not one to make a deep
Impression, but the name of the. artist
painted by the brush that was even
then dropping from her weary young
hand gives it an interest which is be
yond tho reach of a mere art criticism,'
