Honey In the Statue.
The heroic equestrian statue of
Robert E. Lee in Richmond, Va| is
believed to have hundreds of pounds
of honey concealed inside of it. For
1 months bees have been going in and
out of tfhe parted lips ’of both the
human and the animal figure. The
insects were first seen there last
summer and doubtless have been
making honey ever since. There is
no 1 way to get inside either figure
without doing irreparable damage,
but fear is entertained that vandal
hands may make the attempt.
A Now Scene In the Show*
The audience at a theater in
Portland, Or., became habitually
impertinent between acts and, fre
quently hissed when they thought
the delays were needlessly long. At
length the manager hit upon a way
to pacify them. Once in each per
formance during the most elaborate
change of scenery he kept the cur
tain up to let the people see that
the stage hands worked as fast as
possible. That payt of the show
haB become popular. .

Our Excess of Men.
Whatever differences Dame Na
ture may have intended between the
spheres of influence of men and wo
men, she evidently intended tha(
numerically at least the two sexes
should stand on nearly the same
footing. The world over, except
where recognizable and what might
be called "artificial causes interfere,
the male and female elements of the
population are about equal.
Curiosity, not to say .astonish
ment, is excited,,therefore, by a re
cent announcement of the census
bureau. The enumeration of 1900
shows that there are more men and
boys than women and girls in this
country and that the difference ex
ceeds 1,800,000 in a population of
7GJ803,387. The excess appears
more distinctly perhaps when it is
said that there are 512 males and
only 488 females in every thousand
people in• the United States.—Chi

The High Mountains.
The reason, Signor Mosso tells us,
why so few have attempted the as-,
cent of the, highest peaks on the
face of the earth is the conviction
that man cannot withstand the rare
fied air of these altitudes. “Hero
ism shrinks from such: prolonged
sufferings'as those due to lack of
health/’^ Hie own experiment and
observations, however, give us as
surance that maa/.will be able slow
ly to accustom himself to the dimin
ished barometric pressure of the
Himalayas. “If birds,” he says, “fly
to the height' of 29,000 feet, man
ou^ht to be able to reach the same
altitude at'B sldffiFT&te of progress.”
Suited Them Best.
Mr. Wilson Barrett often tells the
following story of his appearance as
Hamlet at* the /Princess’’ theater,
London. The. day after: the first
perfbhm«ioe he overheard some old
stage carpenters discussing the vari
ous-per f-onj^ers of‘Hamlet they had
seen in them day.
“Well,” said one of, them, “you
may talk of Irving and Booth and
now Barrett, but give me Fechter’s
Hamlqt. He was done twenty jin
nies sooner than* any of ’em.”
An Evangelist's Story.
“I suffered for years with a
bronchial or lung trouble and
tried various remedies but did not
obtain permanent relief until
commenced using One Minute
Cough'Cure,” writes Rev. James
Kirkman, evangelist of Belle Riv
er, 111. “I haye no hesitation in
recommending it to all sufferers
from maladies of this kind.” One
Minute Cough Cure affords imme
diate relief for coughs, colds-and
all kinds ‘of throat and lung trou-

Too Much Electricity,
Henry G. Walkins of
Wis., declares that his system ts
overcharged with electricity. With
his eyes shut.and his ears stuffed
with cotton he can tell when he
comes within a hundred feet of
electrical machinery, and during a
thunderstorm he is in a state of
constant agitation. He .attributes
his peculiarity to the fact that his
mother two months before hk birth
was struck by lightning.
