AN Irish drummer who now and then
INDUCED in noggn of poteen was accosted
by the reviewing general "What makes
your nose so red ?" "Plaze yer honor" re.
piled Pat, II always blush when speak to

-"What is your business here?" asked an
lrate beauty of an Irish servant, whom she
found at her door. "To answer the bellies,
marin" said the ready Hibernian, with look
of respectful admiration, which won him q
smile and quarter.
A lady got to laughing over some ANU
sing incident, and could not stop. Finally a
doctor was called in and he could not quiet
her,and she might have died laughing if tele-
gram had not arrived just then saying that
her husbands mother was coming on short
visit.
If the times are hard stop your paper,
but do not shorten your allowance for whisky
or tobacco. A good paper in family is a
great comfort to the wife and children, but
that is no reason why you should provide
them with weekly luxury at the expense of
a daily necessity.

The man who boasts that he never lost

Bee-Hunting in Australia.

In Australia, the native adopts a very Pc
culiar plan for discovering wild honey. He
knows that bees never wander very far from
home, seldom more than two miles and he
also knows that when bee is laden with
honey it makes, as nearly as possible a
straight line for home. All that is necessary,
then, is to find bee that is well laden and
follow it. But that is more easily said than
done. Any boy who has tried to follow the
big and gay colored humble bee to its nest
knows how great u task it is. But that is
mere trifle to following the sober little honey
bee. which can be lost like dream, against
a gray-colored hillside.
In order to be followed, the bee must have
distinguishing mark that can be easily seen,
and with such a badge, the Australian pro-
vides it. He gums small tuft of white COZ
ton to the bees back, and thus follows it with
comparative ease.
But the question now comes up, how is
the cotton to be put upon the bees back =?
The gum is quickly found-it is on almost
any tree; the cotton grows right at hand.
The bee too, is found in almost any sweet
flower, buried head first in the dusty pollen,
drinking in the nectar and showing quite
plainly whether its honey sac is full or empty.
1t moves little in its eager haste to secure
the delicious liquid, but perhaps quick dab
will fasten the cotton on its back. Do not
try it. AS the little boy told his mother, the
bee is very "quick kicker"
Watch the Australian he a very
stupid fellow, too, in most things. He fills
his mouth with water, has his snowy tuft of
cotton ready gummed, finds his bee, gently
drenches it with water spurted from his
mouth, picks it up while it is still Indignantly
shaking itself free from the water which clogs
its wings, and with dexterous touch he at-
fixes in an instant the tell.tale cotton
Very much out OF patience, no doubt, with
the sudden andunexpected rain storm, the bee
rubs eff the tiny drops from its wings, tries
them, rubs again, and soon-buzz buzz away
pillage to its happy home.-From "Honey-
Hunting" By John r. CoryeH, IN 81. Nicholas
