An. interesting case has recently been
tried on an appeal in the Criminal
Court at Paris. 1t was in the matter
of one Gaudot, toy-maker, charged
with poisoning his mistress. The vic
tim was only seventeen years of age,
and had lived two years with the ac-
cused, whom she first met at a public
ball. Their career had been the same

child born to them had been consigned

long before the effects of the poison
began to make themselves felt, and the
girl writhed in pain. The inhuman

ABOUT B's.-A beehive contains

three kinds of bees:
l.. A single queen bee is dIstln-
guishable by the great length OF the
body, and the proportional shortness OF
her wings. 2. Working bees, female
non-breeders, or, as they were formerly
called, neuters Gas for ages they were
considered destitute of SEX to the
amount of many thousands; these are
the smallest bees in the hive, and are
armed with a sting. 3. Drones, or
males, to the number perhaps Of fifteen
hundred or two thousand these are
larger than the workers, and OF a dark
color; they make a great noise IN ny
ing, and have no sting. The whole
labor of the community is performed
by the workers; they elaborate the
wax. and construct the cells; they col
lect the honey. and feed the brood
The drones, numerous as they are,
serve no other purpose than to insure
the increase of the hive, and are regu-
larry massacred by the workers at the
beginning of autumn. 1t is the office
of the q~ueen-bee to lay the eggs
These remain about three days in the
cells before they are Matched. A small
white worm then makes its appearance
called, indifferently, worm, larva,
maggot or grub; this larva is fed with
honey for some days, and then changes
into a nymph or pupa. After passing
a certain period in this state it ome
forth a perfect winged insect.
