Making a Queen.

Bees do not usually want more than
one queen. In fact, they will not have
more than one unless the swarm has
grown so large as to crowd the hive and
they are going TO found colony or
Swarm, as it is called in which case
each family will need a sovereign. As
soon as it is clear TO the wiseacreS that II
will be necessary to send off a swarm
the bees 90 to work TO make a queen. A
worker maggot, or if there happens to
be none in the hive, n worker egg is Sc.
lected near the edge of tie comb. Two
cells next door to the one in which this
maggot is are cleared out, and the diyi.
ding walls are cut down. so chat three
sordinary cells are turned into one The
food which the worker worm has been
feeding on is removed, and the little
creature is supplied with new kind Of
food--a royal jelly. Change of food. a

treatment turn the bee that is developing
from worker into queen. She is df
ferent in her outer shape, different in a
most all her organs, and different IN
every single instinct. There is nothing
else in all nature that seems to me more
wonderful than this.
For fear that one queen may not come
out all right the provident little crea.
lures usually start two or three queen
cells at once. 1t is curious to watch the
first queen as she comes out. She moves
up and down the combs, looking for
other queen-cells, and if she finds one,
she falls upon it in the greatest excite
ment, and stings her rival TO death
Sometimes, by accident, two new queen,
come out at the same time: then it is
wonderful to see the bees. They cleara

A teacher in one of the smallest dis
trict schools in the smallest State in the
Union once proved that 1t may be en-
barrassing TO use ones self as an illustra-
ton. She was hearing class in spelling
and defining words. The word 'orphan'
had been correctly spelled, but none of
the class seemed to know its meaning.
After asking one or two of them, she said,
encouragingly: Now, try again, l am
an orphan. Now, can't some of you
guess what it means?n
The blank look upon their faces re-
manned, until one of the duller scholars
raised his hand, and said, with no inten-
ton of being saucy: Its some one who
wants to get married, and can't.

An Elephant's Feet.

The feet of elephants kept for show
purposes are trimmed two or three times
a year The sole of an elephants foot
is heavily covered with a thick, horny
substance of material similar to the three
toe-nails on each foot; and as it grows
thicker and thicker it tends to contract
and crack, often tanning the animal.
One Snowman recently subjected his ele-
plant to the trimming process. With a
knife two feet long great pieces of horn,
six inches by four, and quarter of an
inch thick. were shaved off. During the
operation the huge creature appeared to
suffer great pain, but seemed to know
that it would afterward obtain relief, and
therefore bore it patiently and trumpeted
its pleasure at the close. Three times
around an elephants foot is said to be
his exact height.
