day, and have given much thought to the
grating of the queen bee upon the PIym Outh
Rock hen, with a view to better egg facl1-
ties but so far to meet with little success,
layed by the loss Of time in taking the swell
ing out of myself after each perusal of the
bee character in his or her home life. The
queen bee lives much longer than any other
class Of Inhabitants, and hangs on to the
throne, as the historian Motley says, like a
pup to a rOO5. She has a stingers but does
not use 1t on boys She uses 1t SIMPLY Tor
the purpose of fighting other queens.
The ancients were aware of the existence
OF a governing bee in each hive, but they
thought it was a king. But scientist with
keen insight and massive brains one day
saw the monarch come of the nest and
leave :, 124 warm eggs. Then it was settled
he was deep, deep man. His name was
Swamerdamm and he made this discovery
2GO years ago last week. Aristotle and Viz
gil claimed in several articles, signed Yeri-
tas and Taxpayer, respectively, that the
queen or king, as they called it then, did
not lay at all, but secured some kind Of
pollen or other material from flowers,
which produced the maggots from which
the bee was Matched.
A writer on the bee says that the best way
TO ascertain the location of the queen is to
divide the swarm after which it will be

myself and noticed that they were restless.
They also communicated their r6Stl6SSneSS

SWamerdamm tied the queen by means
Of a long hair to a high pole in order to
ascertain whether the swarm would follow.
In ten minutes he had the whole colony
on top of the pole.

Every Animal His Own Doctor.

Animals get rid Of their parasites by
using dust, mud, clay, etc. Those suf-
fering from fever restrict their diet,
keep quiet, seek dark, airy places,
drink water, and sometimes plunge IN
to it. When a dog has lost its appe-
tite it eats that species of grass known
as dogs grass, which acts as an emetic
and purgative. Cats also eat grass.
Sheep and COWS, when Ill, seek out
certain herbs. An animal suffering
from chronic rheumatism always keeps,
as far as possible In the sun. The
warrior ants have regularly organized
ambulances. LatrielIe cut the antenne
Of the ant, and other ants came and
covered the wounded part with a trans

MRS. MACKAY has sued an English
newspaper for $25, 900 damages for
saying that her mother was a washer
woman. We are not acquainted with
Mrs. Mackay's antecedents, and cannot
speak for the truth of the assertion,
but Mrs. Mackay would better have
preserved her dignity by paying no at
tention to the article in question.
However, if an English paper said that
her mother was a bad washerwoman,
didn't half do her work, or charged
too much-why, that's another mat
ter. That may be ibelous even in
America.

ORIGINAL thought is not confined to
the mental labOrer alone. It enters
into and improves all manual work.
The farmer in the field, the porter
with his burden, the mechanic with
his tools, the woman busy with her
needle or homework can all be original
workers-that is, they can not only
initiate what they have been taught,
but also put fresh life into it by think
ing and weaving their thoughts into
their work, so as to do it better and
more easily. People who do this rarely
have to seek far or long for employ
ment, their services are always in de-
mand, and their advancement is as,
sured.

WE all need to honor our daily pur-
suits more than we do-to realize that.
if we follow them honestly and earn
estly, their best results can never be
taken from us. This would take the
sting out of much that we call failure.
No one who has done his best can ever
wholly fail He has that stored up
within him which is of more value than
many transient successes. If, as
Byron tells us, "they never fail who
die in a great cause, certain it is that
they, too, never fail who live in the
energetic and perse genng pursuit of
whatever is good or true or useful to
mankind.

Professor. Jaeger. referring to the pro-

says: "It is impossible for any rejecting

from the woods, meadows, fields and gar

for future use, while others are continually
flying of on similar collecting expeditions.
Some are carrying out the dead, others are
removing dirt and Offal, while others are
giving battle to any strangers who may
dare to intrude. Suddenly a cloud appears
and the bees hurry home, Jhronging the

Talmage, or go into debts which you
cannot meet, you steal just so much
money. If go into grocer's store,

turned the other way, I fill my pockets
with the articles of merchandise and
carry off ham. In the one case I
take the merchants time and take
the time of his messenger to transfer
the goods to my house, while in the
other case I take none of the time of
the merchant, and wait upon my
self, and transfer the goods without
any trouble to him. In other words, a
sneak thief is not so bad as a man who
