Bee Mi BIGGEST BEEHIVE ON EARTH. ll Is A Natural Caiern In A California Cliff, lliiz uf Ihe Insects Can lie Hear A Mile. Hid you ever see n bee Irec, with a swarm of bees around il? Well, magnilv this about Kl.iliit) times ,nl yuu will have a slight i,, a uf u nalural beehive iu M.'iidjciii ) coiiuly, California, ll is a rift in ihe fee of a cliff, and tradition has il thai there is a large cave un ihe inside where the myriads of busy insects make their homos. This great natural curiosity is known to residents nf the adjacent country as "Bee Book," and tiny have grown to look upon it as eumuimoiiplace, wlicu in in reality it is the utily beehive of the kind iu existence. There is no dauger uf a person L'eitin,' very near to ibis natural beehive without knowing it, for at all hours of the day swaim of insects hover ulmut several hundred feet in all dirceliuns. All iuces sanl, inaddeiiing buzz fills the air that can be heard an eighth of a mi1.: . and serves as a w .rning tiol tu venture too near. Bat men do venture near after hawtig lirst put on a suit of leather cloth ing, fastened il mask of wire screen around their hat brim and lighted a goud big torch. These precautions are abso. lutelv necessary. It takes nerve to approach close to the opening in the rock and the experience is a ncvor-to-be-l'ugotten one. Bees to the number of millions of millions will light on the intruder, humming fi. ndisbiy, and endeavor to sting liiuito death. They form a perfect cloud and the air is tilled with a felid smell and a fine dust that gets through the wire scieen and causes an irriianon to llic eyes. 1 lie liny insccls really show signs of viciousness and fly into the flames of I lie torch in countless nutuuers, us though tiiey intended to extinguish it. Uiundand round they fly with a deafening buzz, und strong indeed, is the mm who can stand the onslaught of the liny foes more than a few minutes. It is almost impassible to make out just where tlio entrance to this nalural beehive is. There is a sort of cavern in the cliff that seems to have a crack through the inner wall from top to buittun, hut most of the bees hover around a hole about eighteen inches wide, and appear to make that the point of ingress. ,nv diys it is impossible even to see the cliff, so thickly covered is il with the iusee s, and they roll in and out of the opening lise a stream ol niolasses. huring the summer dead birds can always be seen on dig ground around the in, ml, ol the hive. They have lien slung lo .It a Ii while attempting to fly through the swarm uf insects. Four fo itcd creatures never venture wiihiu half a mile, seeming to know that death lurks there. In frotit of the uiouih of the hive tle rc is. a pile of dried honey that has flown from tho interior. It looks like a heap of motcn lava tint has been hardened after being discharged from a volcano. A party of men living in the vicinity claim to have entered the beehive sev eral years ago. They selected a cold day in wiutcr, when the bees were half dormant, and poured eaal uil and benzine around and into the opening. Then they made a big lite of wood, so that the whole cavern was filled with fl lines Then they poked the led hut embers down iulotbe opening aud so killed every bee in it. But there was not much to sec afur the men got inside only a large cave, with the Walls covered with wax and diied hooey, and enough of the sweetness in pools in the bottom to last a big city for several years. Of course the honey was unfit lor use on account of being lull of dead bees and ashes from the tire. The men, however, di I not liuger in the cave :iuy great length of lime, as it was foul smelling and stifling. Although count kss mil i. nis of bees must have been destroyed on this occasion, the next summer tiny were as numerous as ever aud just as vicious I ml i ni-s of ihe neighborhood sty lhat in the "gnud old days " the bad men of their tribe Were bound baud and foot and carried to wiihui a short di.lauce of the beehive hy men wrapped in blankets.

Love Is Blind. AN EARLY TALKER, He Can Say Alnmst Anuhinn. "Cue is blind," according lo the pro verb; but the proverb cannot be true ol maternal love, for the average mother easily sees in her baby a world ol things which nobody else can discover, "Docs your baby talk any yd?" one woman was b.-aid lo i skinoilu r. "Talk? Well. I sh.,,,1 I say he dt.l talk?" replied t lnr, mother, almost in lignantly. "lie says just anything! His lillle li.nguu runs steadily from morning till night, lie can ask I'or anything be wants at the table or any place else. I never had a child lhat talked so early, er said so many things at bis age.

The story is told of un Indian fakir that he enterred au eastern palace and spread his bed, preteuding that he th light it was an inn. The prince, amused by the oddity of his ttclion, or dcrcd the man lo be brought before him, nnd asked how he came to make such a mistake "What is an inn?' the fakir in ipiired. "A place where travelers rest lor a little while b, fote pioeetditig on their journey," was the rep'y. "Who dwelt here before yon?" askid ihe fakir. "My father, " r.'plhd the prince. "And did he remain here?" "No," was the answei; "he died and went away." "And who dwelt here before him?" "His ancestors." "And did they remain here?" "No; they also died and went away." "Then," said the fakir, "I have made no mistake, for your palace is only an inn after all." Was not that I'ikir right? Our earthly homes arc but slopping places. The world isunly an inn, where travelers stop for a while un the way from time to eternity. "Here have we' no continuing city, let us seek one to come." Francis W. Taylor. ONE IIKAKKIt.

"Yes, sir," said the doctor, grasping his hand, "1 do, indeed; nnd if you are the man, I have beeu wishing to sec you ever since." "I am the man. sir, nni that sermon saved my soul, made a minister uf me, aud vender is my church. The converts of that serin. n are all over Ohio." t'hiisiian Observer. koysl make. III.
