CWTiOSitieS of Bees.

Some of the old beliefs respecting bees are
curious. Their hatred to an echo, which was
an ancient article of the bee masters faith,
does not seem to be confirmed on investigation.
Much modern folklore on bees may be picked
up by any one who converses with the peasan n =
try in almost any part of England. From some
reason or other, bees are looked upon as pecu-
liarly "uncanny" creatures Thus we were
told IN Lincolnshire that bees would desert a
hive on the occasion of death in the family,
unless some one knocked at their hive and told
them Of it. The same superstition we find to
prevail in Essex, and even Cornwall. Similar
ly the belief that after death hives ought to
be wrapped in Grape or mourning of some kind
is current in Lincolnshire and East Anglia gen.
orally. 1t is even found in Lithuania, and is
probably connected with an ancient idea that
honey was symbol of death. In Yorkshire
there is a custom of inviting bees to the funcr-
al. If wild or humble bee enter Northamp-
tonshire cottage it is deemed certain sign of
death; if a swarm of bees alight on dead tree,
or the dead branch of living one, there will
be death in the family within the year. 1t
is curious why tho bee should in Europe be so
connected with death, whereas in Rindoo
mytr5f6gy the bow string of Kama (the Hindoo
Cupid) is formed of bees, perhaps symbol Of
love strong as death. 1t is worth while men
tioning one or two more bee superstitio.s -
They will never thrive, it is said, in quarrel
some Iamlly, nor Wnen tney nave peen stolen.
There can be no greater piece of ill-luck than
to purchase swarm it must always be given,
and the then custom is to return something for
it in kinda small pipe, say, or some other
equivalent. Money should be avoided in the
transaction as much as possible. In Hamp-
shire it is a common saying that bees are idle
or unfortunate in their work whenever there
are wars. At the risk of being esteemed cred
ulous, we may remark that the martial year
QS7O) was an unlucky honey year. East winds
and drought seemed in that year to have re-
pressed the secretion of honey in the hectares
of May flowers.

Poetry.
|" WAITING.N

Learn to wait--life's hardest lesson;
Conned perchance through binding tears,
While the heart. .throbs sadly echo
To the tread of passing years
Learn to wait-hope's slow frution;
Faint not, though the way seem long;
There is joy in each condition;
Hearts, though suffering, may grow strong.
Constant sunshine, howe'er welcome,
Meier could rpen fruit or flower;
Giant oaks owe half their greatness
To the scathing tempest's power.
Thus, soul untouched by sorrow,
Aims not at higher state;
Joy seeks but a brighter morrow
Only sad hearts learn to wait
Human strength and human greatness
Spring not from lfes sunny side;
Heroes must be more than drift-wood
Floating on waveless tide.

What Constitutes Won,anIiness.

Are weakness of pody and mind, helplessness,
shallowness of thought and knowledge, frivoli.
ty of taste and pursuit, absorption in the art OF
men pleasing,-are these indeed, the essential
characteristics of womanhcod, and is she who
combined them the type of the
perfect woman, nobly planned,
To cheer, to comfort to command?
We must look for the answer somewhat deeper
than the surface and conventional rules OF soci-
ETY.; and going to the constitution of things,
ask ourselves what special functions woman
has to perform in this world as woman, apart
from the functions common to all human be-
ings in virtue of their humanity. That fune
ton is motherhood. 1t is in her motheriness
that we find her womanliness. She may not
be, or ever become, mother, but she cannot
become perfect woman unless she possess all
the attributes which belong to perfect mother
hood What, then, are these attributes First
on the list stands tenderness; the mother must
above all things be tender and pitiful; for her
love is the highest type of human tenderness,
the truest symbol of the Divine. Next comes
strength the mother must be strong and help
full for how else shall she protect and guide the
helpless lives clnging to hers She must be
pure, not only with the purity which is igno-
rance, but with the purity which, knowing evil
abhors it; for is she not the representative to
her children of Divine purity u? She must be
true for if her children find their trust in her
deceived in whom else will they have faith !?
She must be lover and promoter of order; for
order in the family is like law in the State .
without it there is only anarchy and confusion.
She must be just; for children have a keen
sense of Justice and will pay cheerful and re-
spectful obedience only to the rule they feel to
be just. She must be self-controling and self
| forgetting; for she cannot rule her children
| unless she can rule herself, and she cannot
| have that perfect sympathy with them that
shares and lives in their lite, unless she can for
get herself. She must have high ideal; for
how else shall sheinspire her children with the
love and worship of goodness, justice and
beauty transcending that of earth Finally,
| she must be crowned with wisdom; for her love
must give light as well as warmth, she must
be able to guide as we'll as to cherish. This is
the type of the perfect mother, and therefore it
| is the type of the perfect woman. Here, then,
we have the standard we wanted, and may lay
| down as the rule, whose application admits of
no exception, that whatever action, pursuit or
profession is incompatible with this type is un
womanly. Whatever habits of life, or meth DDS
of education, tend rather to repress than to cul-
| tivate those attributes of perfect womanliness
tenderness, strength, purity, truth, justice,
noble idealism order and wisdom-is a wrong
course, and radically faulty method of educa-
| tion.-Frazer'S Magazine.

WOLF TEETH IN HoRsEs.--Mr. Horn, a veter-
mary surgeon of GAINESVILLE, Wis, has recently
made an examination of ono thousand horses,
with view to settling the question as to whether
the so-caled wolf teeth are reinjurious to the eye.
blind in both eyes, blind in one eye only;-
81 having an affection of one eye or both eyes, 6
out of that number being nearly blind. The
whole number of wolf teeth found was 216;-
only one of the number had false molar, and
only one animal with o wolf tooth showed any
symptoms of disease of the eye.
Dr. Horn regards this as settling the question
positively that these teeth do not do any injury
whatever to the eyes, and this conclusion is
certainly qualified by his statement of fact
