This evil makes much of society lnsin
cere. You know not what to believe,
Whep people ask you to come, you do not
know whether or not they want you to
come. When they send their regards, you
do not know whether it is IN expression of
their heart or an external civility. We
have learned TO AXE almost everything at

when they are just too lazy to dress them
selves. They say, The furnace has just

FIRE in it all winter. They apologize for
the unusual baroness of their table wen
they never live any better. They drcry
their most luxurious entertainment to win
a shower of approval They apologize for
their appearance, as though it were un-
usual, when always at home they look just
so. They would make you believe that
some nice sketch on the wall was the work
of master painter. at was an heirloom,
and once hung on the walls of castle,
and duke gave it to their grandfather.
When the fact is that painting vas made
by man down east and baked so as
to make it look old, and sold with others

The last report as secretary of war OF
Redfeld Prostor, which has just been
issued Is more interesting shan the com
mon run OF literature emanating from the
war department 1t shows, among other
things, that positive progress is being
made in the matter Of coast defenses. AT
New York, Boston, Washington. San
Francisco and other exposed points the
work is being prosecuted theoretically,
while elsewhere the initial steps are being
taken TO render it as difficult as possible
for foreign foe to damage our
principal marine cities, Powerful guns
have been ordered by the hundred ns

the recommendation is made that the
present appropriation Of half million
dollars annually for coast defense pnr-

presidents cabinet expresses the belief
that the problem of coast delenees has at

soldiers has borne fruit beyond the most

aptitude for military life and the secretary
says they are ut least the equals Of any
other races of no greater experience. The
enrichment of the Indian IN the army
should do much toward tho solution OF the
Indian question. In the service they ac-
auire habits of order and precision which
will gradually wean them from their
native barbnrlsm.
Doscrtiona are shown to have been
fewer during the past year than at any
time since army records have been kept.

The secretary recommends that promo
lion from the ranks be determined by reg
uar examinations. In this connection he
states that examinations for promotion
have been extended to all olcers below
the rank of mnjor. This has been attended
with excellent rosults, as it has stimulated
professional military study, 1t should
eventually do away with the prevalent
vices of drinking and gambling through
lack of other interests and occupations.

Plato vas called the "Athenian Bee" on
account Of the sweetness and purity of his
style.
"A bee in your bonnet is phrase
meant to imply that your head Swarms
with dreamy theories. This connection
between bees and the head is derived from
the JcIlef OF the ancients who called the
moon bee, and The word luaatic or moon
struck still means one who has bees in his
head.
Mahomet admitted bees to Paradise on
account Of the belief that they were wan
dering souls.
Bee raisers have numerous proverbs re.
garding bees, which they re gard with
veneration, such as this:
ga swarm of bees in May
Is worth load of hay
But swarm in July
Is not worth fly
An allnsion to the custom Of telling the
bees is found in histories, and i, one of
the traditions of TIE past which is so
remote that its origin can not be traced.
On the death of member of the family
it was customary to drape The hives with
mourning. II this was neglected it was
believed that the bees would leave the
hives and seek new homes.
The custom is observed in rural New
England, and many other parts of Ameri-
ca, aud is quite general in the old world.
Our own Whittier has embodied the
quaint superstition in a beautiful poem:
Before them under the garden wait
Forward and blck,
Went lrearly siI ging thG chore-girl small,
Draping each hive with u shred of black.
Trembling, listened; the summer sun
Had a chill of snow,
For knew she was telling the bees of one
Gone on the journey we all must go.
And the song she was singing, ever since
In my ear sounds on
"Stay ut home, pretty bees, fly not hencel
Mistress Mary is dead and gone'

HOW TO DETECT 1t.
Some Valuable Hints Regarding the Gripp-
Signs Of it's Approach and How to
Counterfeit Them.

The discussion as to the cause of the Grippe
is of interesting, but gives little satisfac
ton TO its unfortunate victims. Whether
caused by microbe or vagaries of the weather
it's ravages continue and the country still bends
under the scourge. In Chicago, recently, the
deaths from this cause were so great that the
undertaking facilities of the city we're INSULT
cient to meet the emergency. The death rate
is correspondingly high everywhere.
1t cannot DO too strongly impressed on people
that, in order to ward off the disease, warning
symptoms must be regarded and prompt action
taken. 1t becomes extremely difficult to dis
lodge the disease If allowed to take it's course.
Hence its name. 1t generally commences with
a slight headache, or pain in the small of the
back or limbs. 1t does not always give one
ness across the forehead, buzzing in the ears,
the caution one gets so it is culpable careless
ness to neglect even these slight signs.
The remedy lies in a Stimulant, and the pref
erence should be given to whisky All the doc
tors of this country are agreed on this point,
but are very careful to impress on their patients
the fact that pure whisky alone must be taken.
Dufy's Pure Malt Whisky is the purest on the
market, and can be readily obtained at all drug
stores. This preparation, which is endorsed by
all the leading DOCTORS scientists and chemists
of the present day, is this year adding to the
irst-class reputation which it won during the
epidemic of the Grippe last year. There are
many imitatorS who say their WHISTLES are
lust as good" Do not be deceived. They are
not. Duffy'S Pure Malt is the only medicine
