Honey bees of different times and
countries hnve chosen ninny peculiar
locations for their homos, Init none
have shown ihrmfcclvcs more domestic
in their choice than a colony in north
west fliiltimore, which has imndcci n
dwelling-house, and cannot be induced
to go elsewhere. This colony, which
has thousands of members, lias pre
empted for its own use a part of the
dwelling; 1045 Ilnrlem avenue, occupied
by Mr. U. J. God'man, says the Balti
more American.
When that gentleman moved into the
house, several years ago, lie noticed
that a large number of bees collected
aroundi the windows of the bathroom,
on the" second floor, and, on observing
tlitm eloseiy, he saw tlmt they er.ir.e cut
and went into the opening in the house
wall through which the pipe from the
bathtub ran. lie concluded thnt there
was a hive somewhere in the vicinity i
of the bathroom, and on cutting out a '
small section of the flooring he found 1
in the vacant space under the licor, nnd
between the joists, on which the floor
ing rested, what seemed to him a mil
lion bees, with a large amount of honey.
Tubs and large pans were brought
into requisition to hold the honey. The
honey combs stood at right angles to
the joists. They were an inch in thick
ness and about ten inches square. 'Die
squares of honeycomb set on edge side
by side, completely filled the space be
tween the beams. To take them it was
only necessary to detach them at each
side from the beam and lift them out.
The members of the family hnd all the
honey they wanted and ft was freely
distributed to l eighbors and friends.
The "robbing" took place in the fall.
A small amount was left for the bees
to subsist upoii. Mr. Godman thought
it would be better to transfer the bees
to a hive and take them out of the
house. There were some disadvantages
connected with their presence in the
bathroom now, especially since the hole
had' been bored in the floor to get at
them. The childrm could enter the
room nnd take the bees up from their
place by the double handful, nnd
smooth them idcng their laps with
their hands, but the workers of the
colony weie opposed to certain mem
bers of the family, and stung them
whenever they got a chance. That was
why Mr. God man desired to put them
in a hive in the yard.
The hive was prepared1, and an effort
was made to induce the bees to enter it,
but the effort was not a success. It
brought nliout a schism in the colony,
however, and nearly all the bees went
away. Dm ing the blizzard last Febru
ary the colony that remained beneath
the bathroom perished and Mr. God
man thought he had gotten rid of the
aees.
About a year after the exodus of the
bees a sw.irm Unit seemed larger than
the one that had gone away returned to
the Harlem avenue house, and reoeeu
pied their old quarters. While enter
ing through tie aperture in the wall
the beees swauned about the waste
pipe, and formed n bundle about as
large as u half-bushel basket. They
have remained there ever since, supply
ing the family with honey at intervals.
Lecturer nnd I.UIener.
Like many other public speakers, a
well-known lecturer hus a great dis
like to being interrupted during his
lectures, nnd If anyone happens to come
in late he has a habit of slopping shdrt
ad watching the intruder to his seat,
generally with the effect of making
him look very hheepish and disconcert
ed. Some time back, while lecturing
in a large town, he was interrupted1 by
a gentleman coming in late and mak
ing a great noise with his creaking
shoes. The speaker stopped and stared
as usual at. the intruder, who f-cemed
not to be in the least conscious that all
eyes were upon him. At length, get
ting out of patience, the lecturer re
marked, icily "I am waiting for you,
sir." Apparently quite unmoved, the
offender spent a few seconds in arrang
ing his coat on the chair. 'Then, hit
ling down, he turned to the lecturer
with a charming smile and said: "Now,
Mr. Ji , 1 am ready if you are," Lon
