Few will believe it possible for a 3 months' old child to talk. However, such is the case, relates the Nashville Banner, and any one can verify the truthfulness of this statement with very little trouble. The parents of the child are Richard and Frankie Cleveland, colored, living at 17 Short street, and the child has been talking since it was one week old. Hundreds have visited the little wonder and have left the house completely mystified at what they have - seen and heard. The child is a girl and differs only r, from other babiea in that it can talk aa plainly and be understood as distinctly -- as a grown person. The voice, of course, -, is naturally weak, but has none of the Vbabv Drattle about it. Tn addition to the child's talking propensities it seems to be possessed of superior intelligence and gives voice to utterances moat as tounding, coming as they do from one bo young. Kev. G. W. Martin, a colored preacher, who has a church in the vicinity, and a majority of his flock called at the house to convince themselves of the truth of the rumors which bad been circulated concerning the child. The Iittie one seemed to enjoy the presence of tie crowd for a while, but, soon tiring, re marked to its mother, in a voice audible to all present : "I wish all these folks would go home as I am tired." The callers took the hint and soon departed. Don Juan Mine Sold. Yesterday Cbas. A.

On Warm Daya tne jbockb unp who the Sweets of the Great Beehive "Within Stories Told by Hunters. Kishacoquillas gap is located in th Tussev.or Seven mountain, range, and is nnA of the manv breaks inrouim tinis v - . . .... wild chain of mountains leading irom Pcnn's valley into Stone, valley The Seven mountain range is per haps the wildest system in the state of Pennsylvania, More than one ex perienced hunter and woodsman nas lost his waVin these mountains, and Epent weary days wandering around before he found his way to civilization a train, and some even failed to return to it, and it is the general Denei tjiaj their bones lie bleak and bare in some dark ravine of the Tussey, range. Years ago current report said that in one of the least explored of the man;' fHStnesses of these mountains there was a bee hive in the rocks which con tained enough honey to make a man rich. The story was in effect as fol lows: Some eie-ht or ten miles north of '..he gap is one of the deepest ravines in ciosing the wildest spot in the entire chain of mountains. Precipitous cliffs to the height of several hundred feet rise on either side, the whole almost completely covered with a dense growth of small shrubbery ana trailing vines while away down at the bottom, so deep that the sun hardly penetrates, owirsr to the narrowness of the gorge, trickles a small stream or rivulet On the north side of this gorge, about half way up the rock side of the cliff. is a fissure in tne rocK presenting an opening perhaps 20 feet long and vary ing in width from two to five feet 'I'housrh there is no accurate, way or :knowinT the depth of this fissure or cave in tne rocic erae, n- nas ueru. e t. mated at anywhere from 30 to 55 leet, perhaps even more, and possibly with the dimensions of a large cham ber, T V. ? r- Zfl Sr.. Wur.lr O MVnrm O J 11 UIUJ 1 J 1 1' 1111 I'll. .'V l . 1 - .- ... .-i - bees years ago made their home, and Ihere they have continued to abide. multiply and store up honey until three years ago, when the last report of tlicr.i. an civen bv a lost nnnir-r, siawu uiiii so numerous had they become tha. there was one perfect column or string of bees fully a foot thick contmuall fcoing and coming from the stone hive Parties who claim to have seem it aver that on a warm aay une hwwl fluid, melted by the hot rays of the sun in the brief time its rays penetrate the opening, would trickle down the side of the cliffs and fall in pools at the bottom. Several parties attempted to dis- IndtJ-c the bees and sret at the hive of honey, but owing to the difficulty in getting at the opening they were never successful, as the bees always drove ihem away, A few days ago a stranger, who claimed to hail from the eastern part of lie state, and who had been trudging these mountains in quest of the outloo for game on several of the game pri- serves located here, stopped a few mm tries at the gap, and while here told of Reei-no- the beehive in tihe rocks. The man was so excited over the discovery that he could hardly tell a complete story, but the facts related by nim are to closely allied to the current report or vears that there is no doubt that he found the wonderful honey deposit. The man averred that the bees go ne: and coming looked like an immense ar rope at least two feet in diameter. and so constantly did they keep at their work that in the hour or more tie watched them there was not one brea c in the flying string of bees. To dislodge the bees and secure tne honey would, however, be an almost im possible task, at the very least a Jtier- ;ulean one. From the bottom oi i-pe avine to where the rift in the rock oc curs is fully 75 feet, and from the ton Jown to the rift is almost an equal dis tance. The rocky side is very nearly Oraight up and down, and the small brush and wild vines with which the iide is almost entirely covered are not embedded securely enough in the rocks to admit of one climbing either up or Sown them as a support. There is only one way by which the cavern could be reached, and then it would be at the risk of destroying the rich store therein, and that is to blow the mountain side up with dynamite. But even this mode of attack would not rid the place of all the bees, and when once their home was destroyed all interlopers would want 1o seek some secure retreat. The et.ranger averred that he would find a way to get the bees out and get at the. store of honey. lie declared his intention of return ing to make the attempt, at least, and what the results will be remain to be seen. Five, four, or even two tons of honej is a large pile of the sweet stuff, and the smaller amount, if it could be put on the market in anything like a good condition, at the present, price of 15 cents per pound, would realize just $003 for the successful bee hunter, a very clever sum to pull from a rift in the mountain side.

It Afflicts Over Half the People In the World. Public Walls and Benches Bear Evidence That the Whittling- Fiend Is Abroad in the Land Ro mantic Bnt Ruinous. One-half the world is afflicted with, the penknife habit, and on thatwecount the poor world presents a most muti lated, scarred and butchered aspect. Watch the penknife fiend at work. He has just spied a. fresh new bench in the park. Everything fresh and new is hi3 own especial prey. He draws back and rivets his eyes upon it, startled at first by the sudden discovery ojt another viotim. Then he pounces upon it, ?ike the Tiawk upon the mild gray field mouse, and whipping out his many- bladed knife, he begins to carefully, maliciously engrave his name, the date of his birth, his present address, his past occupation, and various other im portant details all over that virgin park bench. Criminal! He has no other occupa tion. He was born to the knife, for the knife. It is useless for him to try to be otherwise. He is a ribald, irre sponsible nuisance, a mean, petty, re lentless destroyer of every smooth sur face that crosses his path. Whole walls have been covered by him with fanciful groupings of the alphabet. Beautifully carved etairc.'ises and porches have been the subjects of his attacks. Young trees have been killed by his incessant digging into ihe bark with his pearl-handled weapon. He invades marble halls end scratches his name on beautiful Italian mar ble; he penetrates into graveyards and perpetuates his memory alongside that of the numberless dead. He never ventures abroad without his penknife. Whole ihours are spent by him basking in the sun, leaning against some soft pine pillar, carving it down to suit his fancy, and gathering a little forest of chips about his feet. Large public buildings suit his purpose best. The city hall has always been a joy to his soul. Especially about the main entrances, where he is permitted to loiter, he has cut and engraved until the massive walls and doors look like ancient Egyptian tablets, a mass of illegible heiroglyphics. He complains because the old post office, once a rich field for his zeal, is now closed forever against his industrious fingers. But the various railway stations still afford him a hunting ground. Th; North western and the Union depots, with their large and crowded waiting rooms. are p articularly favorable to the culti vation of the practice. An J the man with the penknife habit is never caught. Apparently he works in the dead of night when all the world is napping, for he is seldom discovered in broad davlieht. He works as the .ant works, persistently, labcriously doing just a little each day. But the sum total is enormous. The damage which he does to valuable property reaches the thousands. . . It is bard to fling away the senti ment that once surrounded the lover twain, the yielding sapling and the keen-edged knife. When Herman and Dorothea rise before our mental vision it is always under the noble oak tree, standing- together, and carvinfir their C. W.

Rosalind and Orlando in the forest of Arden carved true lovers' signs and ill-shaped hearts here, there and everywhere to lead tbc-ir footsteps together. Coming down, to fact and the end of the century, it is still the poetical practice of all ihe senti mental and romantic. But there is no romance about the thoroughbred penknifer. He wants glory, and he spares no pains to obtain it. He works with the detailed interest end impressible persistency that proves the existence of one great predominat ing idea. Psychologists say that the penknife habit is allied to that universal human desire called' notoriety. It is an off spring of the love for fame. Sometimes by accident the penknifer discovers himself abroad without his trusty lance in the hot pursuit for publicity, and he resorts to the pencil. Then he in scribes his name on painted walls, on pictures and in borrowed books to go thundering down the ages, an ever lasting eyesore to posterity. Some times his weapon takes the form of a rubber stamp. Armed with that, he goes abroad and stabs at every available object, withan his reach. Chicago Times-Herald. Reduced Rates.
