but Pliaraoh found the work in
his Temple of Thebes effectually
delayed by a strike and as serious
a situation to face as ever a New
England manufacturer had to
confront
The temple that was to astound
the world and stand as a monu-
ment to Egypts greatest king
was under way Its graceful out-
lines were well defined oven its
gorgeous interior decorations
were begun the alabaster wall
Inlaid with jewels representing
the fairest lowers on the banks
of the Nile were nearing perfec-
tion The masons whose magic
hands were erecting this archi-
tectural wonder received little
cash but large supplies of food
the lirst of every mouth These
supplies were to last them a
whole month Hut even thirty
three centuries ago things went
wiong in the commissary depait
meut and contractors grew rich
Time after time the food gave
out before the month had passed
uud the builders suffered But
once when the supply lusted only
two weeks the proverbial worm
doubled in its tracks and
the oppressed in its wrath
The contractor like all
his kind was obdurate lie de
elated the men had wantonly
wasted their rations mid should
have no more
The body of workmen marched
to the contractors house and
squatted at his palace gate and
vowed they would stay there till
they had justice They spoiled
the view their nose disturbed the
contractor and he weakened
When he offered to compromise
by laying the matter Jbefore Phar
j Aoh lhe obiikuQSviiAhat victiry
was theirs They grasped the
fact as fully in those days as now
that when a contractor yields an
inch the King of Labor can sweep
him a mile
Pharaoh wanted his temple
The bagatelle of a few million
sacks of corn was nothing to him
Pliaraoh ordered the request of
the workmen granted and all
went well for n time But the
same thing occurred next month
The men encouingod by their pre-
vious successes struck again
They would have been the delight
of New Bedford mill hands and
would have aroused the envy of
New York cloakmakers But
again they were victorious and
the big granaries had to bo
drawn upon before they would
resume the woik thnt was to be
Egypts pride
So from the beginning success
has perched upon the banner of
the strikers
He Got Gay
The distinguished Boston au-
thor was returning from New
York on the faith of Harpers
Drawer and was offered novel
after novel by the train boy Over
eacli and nil the author mur
ium ed that he had read it Then
the boy picked out a new book
just taken into stock and of-
fered the distinguishe d one his
latest work Wrote it said
the author seeing his chance
The train boy like the worm
turned Fixing his eye firmly
upon the distinguished author
and with his lip curling with
contemptuous indignation he
cried Aw dont get gay

When Aaron Snyder of King-
ston took his honey bees out for
a drive Ui the country the other
day andeft them to spend a few
ty he created quite a breeze of
excitement among the persons
along the road and had to stop
many times to explain what he
was doing The Idea of sending
bees to the country for the bene-
fit of their health Is lull of novel-
ty to the average man who has
come to regai d a bee as the most
cianky and pestiferous thing
alive
Yet as Mr Snyder explains
there is an excellent leason for
taking the bees to the country
and it is really no more remark-
able than taking rows to pasture
The principle is in the inula the
same although by moving the
bees even more is accomplished
for the color and quality of the
honey they make is thus con
tioiled It is a fact well known
to bee fanciers that bees will on-
ly go about three miles from the
flowers Another fact equally
well known is that there is in
buckwheat blossoms a larger
amount of honey than in any oth-
er flower that grows in any quan-
tity This honey although dark
in color has a very agreeable
llavor and is preferred to any
other
Buckwheat is not very plenti-
ful within thiee miles of Mr Sny
ders apiary and therefoio ho in
moving 100 hives of bees to n
location in the country where
they can llnd plenty of It Half
of these bees are taken to Kyser
ike nnd the other half to a place
about two miles north of Stone
ltidge When the buckwheat 1ms
died off the bees will be brought
back to their home in Kingston
Mr Snyder has kept bees for
twentyflvo years and has made a
study of their habits which fits
him tc can for them with the re-
quired profit When nskedjiLhis
bees wouldk not get lost taking
them into a strange country liq
said No there is no danger of
that if thq hives are always
moved while the bees are in them
But if while the bees are out in
the fields gathering sweets the
hive is moved they will leturn
straight to the place where the
hive wus and cluster there A
bee returns on a route straight
as a bee line to the place it
starts lrom nnd as the queen bee
remains in the hive the bees go
light on making honey in this
hive according to their nature
It is said that the idea of mov-
ing bees to pasture is carried on-
to a large extent along the Mis-
sissippi where tie hives are
taken from place to place down or
up stream on flat boats thrt an-
chor dining the day ard are
moved on nt night while tin bees
are all in the hives thus 1 eeping
them in fresh pasture all of the
time
Hissing means different tilings
to be at tlie time In West Africa
the natives hiss when they nre
astonished in the New Hebrides
when tliey see anything beautiful
The Basutos applaud a popular
orator in the assemblies by hiss-
ing at him The Jnpanese again
show their reverence by n hiss
which lias probably somewhat
the force of the hush with
which we command silence
Hicks Barton is quite Btrtick
with Miss Birdikin He had just
lighted a cigar last evening when
she hove in sight He threw it
away and went up the street with
herWicks
Wicks And do you know
what she said to him She told
him thnt she appreciated liis self
denial in throwing tlie cigni
away but she never could thiuJs

devoid of economy TitBits
Thn Offlclnl Time
Tlie necessity thnt there shall
be only one man who has thu
say in a litilltnry command is
thoroughly recognized in the
United States army A story is
told of General Shatter com-
mander of the American expedi-
tionary force for the invasion of
Cuba whiehillustrates the punc-
tilio of thqjregulars in this re-
gal d 4
At a certain frontier post at
which Swifter who then held an
inferior rank wns commander
many years ago a discussion
arose among several officers as to
the exact time of day A captain
with his wntgh in his hand said
It is now exactly 3 oclock
Oh no said a lieutenant by
my time its 8 minutes past 1
A third oflicer drew his watch
out of his pocket I know my
time is exactly right ho said
and my watch says 2 minutes
past 3
At this juncture Mnpor Shaf
fer looked ntuhis silver watch
I dont know what your
watches sny lic remarked bur
1 wish you toi understand that in
this command it is 5 minutes
past 3
Then the yo ung officer remem-
bered that tile authority of tlie
commanding oflicer extended
even to the timevof day
Out of a Job
Hero is a good story of an old
colored man who asked ai white
man if lie could give him woik
The white man asked the negro if

floating downthe river
Yes sah was the reply

Verdi wished that the house
