N, Y. Ledcer. ' Was Looking for a Queen. A son of the marquis of Salisbury is much interested in bee farming, and this very mild hobby resulted in the wildest kind of excitement in the neigh borhood of Hatfield recently. It all came about in this manner: Young Cecil, finding one of his hives queen less, sent an order to- Welwyn, the nearest town to Hatfield, for a Carni- olan queen a famous Italian bee and asked to be informed of the probable time of 'its arrival. The lee dealer sent oft the bee by the next train and wired: "The queen will arrive by 3: -10 this aft ernoon." When Lord Cecil reached the station to take possession of his bee he found the place thronged. The tele graph clerk had interpreted the tele gram that her majesty was paying a sudden visit to Tlatllcld, and, being un able to keep such interesting news to hiniBelf, the information spread like wildfire. Lingular. The late Lord Lilford, in his recently published work on the birds of Korth- aniptoiiEhire, England; tells this story cf a singular incldoit which occurred In ono of his frequent visit to ti ain: "I first learned," lie soy, "the news of President Abraham Lincoln's murder from a scrap of a Spanish newspaper found In ft neat of the kite by my climber, AgBno,nrsr Aran uri."

Call oo 0"tt offla The most interesting of these im promptu clubs is the one called in thi vernacular "The Kangaroo Court." I' is found almost entirely in county jail In which petty offenders and persom awaiting trial are confined. During the day, writes Josiah Flynt in Har per's Magazine, the prisoners arc al lowed the freedom of a large hall and at night they lodge iu cells, the locks of whicil are sometimes fastened and sometimes not. Tbe ball contains tables, benches, daily papers, and ir some instances stoves and kitchen uteri ails. The prisoners can and do walk jump, and play various games. Aftoi awhile these games become tiresomt nd "The Kangaroo Court" is formed. It consists of all the prisoners, and the officers are elected by them. The posi tions they fill are the "judgeship," the "searchership," the "spankership," and general "juryship." To illustrate the duties of these various officials, I shall give a personal experience iu a county Jail in New York state. It was my first encounter with "The Kangaroo Court." I bad been arrested for sleeping in an empty "box car." The watchman found me and lodged me in the station house, where I spent a most gloomy night, wondering what my punishment would be. Early in the morning I was brought before "the squire." He asked me what my name might be, and I re plied that "it might be Billy Rice." "What are' you doing "arouud here, Billy?" he queried further. - "Looking for work, your honor." "Thirty days," he thundered at me, and I was led away to the jail proper. I had three companions at the time, and after we had passed the sheriff and his clerk, who had noted down all the facts, imaginary and otherwise, that we had cared to give him about our family histories, we were ushered pell-mell into the large hall. Sur rounded in a twinkling by the other prisoners, we were asked to explain our general principles and misdemean ors. This over, and a few salutations exchanged, a tall and lanky rogue cried out in a J jud voice: "The Kangru will now klectl" There were about twenty present, and they soon planted themselves about us in a most solemn: . manner. Some rested on their haunches, others lounged against the walls, and still others sat quietly on the flagstones As soon as entire quiet had been reached, the tall, fellow, who, by tli way, was the judge, instructed a half- grown companion, whom be nicknamed 'the searcher," to bring his charges against the newcomers. lie ap pronched us solemnly, and in most conventional manner, and said: "I'risoucrs you are charged witn havin' boodle in yer pockets. Wha' docs ye plead guilty or not guilty?" I was the first in line, and pleaded not guilty. Are ye willin' to be searched?" asked the judge. "I am, your honor," I replied. Then the searcher inspected all my pockets, the lining of my coat, the "leutlicr bund inside my hat, my aboes ml socks, and, finding nothing In the shape of money, declared that I was guiltlCHS. "You are discharged, exclaimed the utlgc, anil the jury ratified he decision with a grunt. A young fellow, a vagrant by prcfcs- eiiui, wiiM the next cae. He pleaded not guilty, and allowed ldmi'.elf to be itrehcd. Hut unfortunately he had forgotten a solitary cent which was In lii.'i vct.t rwx'ket. It was quickly oonUe- euleil, and he was roinundod for trial m the charge of contempt of tho "Kan gru." 1 ho next victim pleU'K'il guilty to the txiUM'H.slon of thirty-Mx cents, uml wu't relieved of half. Tbe last man, tin! I'lilltiest of all, although he pleaded Inri'xvrioe, waa found out, and his three illitrs were taken away fruin him in fctjrittr, lie, too, was charged with contempt of court. Ills ctute came up wkw ufter the preliminaries were over, and lie waa sentenced by the Judge to walk the length of 'the corridor on hundred and two times eaoh day of hi ronfinctnciit, besides washing all tli dkhei um-iI after dinner for a week. Afler all the trials were over, the confN'-iited money was handed to the genuine turnkey, with Inktructions tha it Ut liivfhtcd In tobacco. Iater in tha day the tohncco was brought into tb Jail and equally divided among all th prl wmers. The next day I, with the other late urrlv:il, was Initiated as a member of tlio knn;rtinio court. It waa a very aim pie iirncceding. I had to prouiiae that j would always do my share of the Deo i-sHry cleaning and waahing, and also be !,(inrnt and fair in judging the cases wl.i. h inlght coins up for triui. .

Position of Responsibility with an Army of Subordinates to Overdue. It may surprise some old globe trot ters to know that the big ocean grey hounds running- between New York and the European ports carry on an av erage nineteen thousand pieces of sterling silverware for their table serv ice, and that this large amount of plate is handled during the voyage by from two hundred to two hundred and forty waiters or "stewartls,"as they are called on shipboard. The chief steward is responsible for every piece, says the New York Mail and Express. He must be a man of quick powers of observa tion, a student of human nature and be up to all the little devices of a small army of subordinates usually keener and quicker witted than those found ashore in the same calling. It is . a busy day for the steward twenty-four hours before the time set for departure. He has purchased or contracted for all the supplies and an assistant sees that the contracts are fulfilled. But his per sonal attention must be given to silver ware. He. keeps a regular debit and credit account and can tell to a tooth pick just what he will start away with. On the voyage passengers are apt to lose Bpoons or forks or other ware by accident, and occasionally a gay blade may think it amusement to toss a sugar bowl or half a dozen knives through a port hole. It is needless to say that he furnishes a quid pro quo before he goes ashore.1 When the other side is reached the chief steward spends a day in balancing accounts. He started with so much, and so much should be on hand. If there is a difference he seeks to find it, and if he can't find it he makes good'' himself. The responsi bility of such a position naturally com mands a high salary, and every chief steward on every ocean steamship run ning from this port is, without excep tion, a man of unimpeachable Integ rity. The extraordinary record is that in thirty years there have been but two accusations of a betrayal of a trust.

Theories Advanced as to Their Orlcli Common In Eastern Montana. ' The well-known circle on the pas ture lands about six miles east of Helena, near the old overland stage road, and which bas been a curiosity and a source of speculation for years. is identical with the fairy rings so com mon In some parts of England. -There were formerly two of these rings, says the Helena (Mont.) Independent, but one has entirely disappeared within the last few years. The remaining one is about two hundred feet in diameter and forms a perfect circle. The ground forming the circle is about two yards wide and quite destitute of vegetation. Many theories have been advanced as to the cause of these rings. Some say that it is the result of lightning; others that a herd of buffalo, pursued by wolves, stopped and formed themselves into a circle as a meant) of defending their young, and thus tramped out the grass. Those rings have attracted the attention of scientific men, and recent investigations have shown they are the result of centrifugal development of certain kinds of fungi, among which is the common mushroom, which shows a tendency to grow in this manner. The spot where it has grown is unfitted for its continued nourishment, and the spawn extends outward to new soil, forming the circle. These rings are common in eastern Montana, along the Musselshell river, but the one near Helena ia tha most perfect in tha state Bomethisg to Depead oa.
