tubes extend through all parts of the
body. and these he packs with air
when he wants to fly. Neither has he
q heart, but dorsal vessel that pumps
the blood to the head. The head is
not beautiful object. and as it is not
the center of the nervous system. he
would not miss it very much if cut of
if it were not for the eyes. two of which
have 1900 lenses each to see the honey
flowers afar of. and two others to as
sist in doing the microscopical work
in the hive.
The entrances to the hive are very
carefully guarded by sentinels, and
every bee on arriving at the door is
challenged by them with their anten-
nae. If he can give the countersign he
is admitted to the sanctuary, but if he
can not he is in danger. for bees are
very nervous insects. and draw stings
on the slightest provocation. The APP
plicant must be a thief. and old thieves
are detected by experienced sentinels,
but the form of challenging must be
gone through first. The old thief bee
is fat and sleek and shining and very
suave. If caught by sentinels he will
at once try to make deal and offer the
policemen some sugar, and while they
are eating it he either slips in and fills
up at the cells or he retreats and tries
another hive. If the sentinels are in
eorruptible the thief humps himself,
draws his horny shields tight around
him, SO that the stings of the police
men may not penetrate, and runs. A
young thief stands up to fight and gets
dubbed. He learns by experience.
The queen bee has not got such a
very easy time. She has plenty to eat
and eats it, and flies very little; but as
she has to lay all the eggs of the
colony, and often lays more than her
weight in eggs in one day, the bees
begrudge her nothing, but let her have
her own way everywhere.
The drone is the dude and walking
delegate of the hive. He is not very
numerous. however. He is fat, and
spends his time eating honey, flirting
with the girls and the queen and then
takes quiet nap in the sun. When
his charms no longer please he is
driven ont, and if he can not get a
berth in another hive he starves. The
little worker, however, does not fare
much better. She lives for about six
weeks, when she becomes feeble, her
wings get torn and fringed and she lies
down to die in the field, refusing to
return to the hive and become a bur-
den on the colony.-John Aspinwall,
in n. Y. Times.

That is, unless ache or some other dis
figurer comes along and sets up busi-

Really there is no organ of the body so
long suffering and SO abused as this
same flexible covering of ours. that has
SO much to do. In summer. when not
oppressed with heavy, ill-ventilated
clothing. it is always perceptibly busy,
in cold weather excretion continues,
but being in form of vapor. is not
noticed. Few persons are aware how
much work this organ does In cool
seasons the average amount of sweat
exhaled from an adult is two pounds,
this amount increasing up to four
pounds an hour, the latter enormous
quantity having been measured upon
workmen exposed to the intense heat
of gas-works furnaces. Night and
day. every hour of our lives, this
wonderful sieve is at work. taking
from the blood useless and poisonous
debris. its labors so vital that twenty
four hours complete suspension means
death.
Now in winter. while its functions
are least and its openings liable to be-
clogged by pressure. by plugging
from lack of care. or by some disease.
it is plain that much. aye, extreme
pains should be bestowed upon it.
Every one can not take regular daily
baths of water, but every one can upon

LIFE IN A BEEHIVE.

An Interesting Description of the Little
- Insects and Their Habits.
While in it's physical makeup the
bee is in many respects the opposite of
man, in his habits and tricks he very
much resembles the lord of creation,
and were bees to be transformed into
men some would undoubtedly go into
the police force or in the board of
aldermen, where there would be not a
few successors to Jake Sharp and to
the inexperienced young toughs who
get dubbed by the police and are then
sent up to the penitentiary for dis
honesty and general ''sass." The oc-
equations of walking delegate and dude
Washers are also found in apiarian
society.
The little. bee, that is the worker; is
horny-skinned child of toll. He is in
cased in rings and shields of smooth
horn to ssieId him against attacks of
his own species. and he tolls as long as
there is light. He has not got back
bone like a man or a mule, but instead
he has a little sting that serves his
purpose just as well, and thus manages
to maintain his rights. Between his
tongue and sting there is a complicated
mechanism that is of great use to the
farmer and to nature. Aside from his
honey that he distils. and which is
worth thousands of dollars annually to
the farmer and to commerce, his habit
of poking his head into flowers and
covering it with pollen, which he
brushes off IN other flowers. renders
him s-benefaotor to nature in fertiliz-
ing flowers. Before the advent of the
bee in AustraHa it was impossible to
get any seeds Of red clover there OF
course, his process of making honey
might not suit the most fastidious
taste. for honey is partially digested
cane sugar, made so by the aid of bee
saliva, but as the bee is perfectly
clean little animal that revels in nectar
all day long, these little Irregularities
must be overlooked Besides he uses
different mouth for the honey.
The bee is good ,fier. but as his
wings are Smaller in proportion TO his
body than are those of the eagle to the
king Thirds heI1ias to flap them more
