Isaac Eyesham, of Buffalo, lumber

he was short and chunky in figure; not

though he was the prop and stay of Lit

esteemed by antiquarians and con-

as Oldtown, Tenn, curiously shaped
vessels of clay were found, some
fashioned into efigies of frogs and ami

Lebanon. Tenn, from a child's grave
was taken large painted jar curious

neck of the jar rising from its back like

Many similar jars and vases have
been found of strange and artistic

artistic water vessels, vases and
statuettes. Near Gainesville, Ca, have
been found stone idols, gold beads,
mica mirrors and translucent quartz

About Bees.

Plato was called the ssAthenian Bee
on account Of the sweetness and purity
lof his style.
"a bee in your bonnet" is phrase
meant to imply that your head swarms
with dreamy theories. This connection
between between bees and the head is
derived from the belief Of ancicnrs, who
called the moon bee, aud the word lu-
matte or moonstruck means one has bees
in his head.
Mahomet admitted bees to Paradise
on account of the belief that they were
wandering souls.
Bee raisers have numerous proverbs re-
garding bees which they regard With
veneration, such as this
"a swarm of bees in May
Is worth load Of bay;
But q swarm in July
Is not worth fly"
An allusion to the custom Of telling
the bees is found in histories and is one
of the traditions of the past which is so
remote that its origin cannot be traced.
On the death of member of the family
IT was customary to drape the hives with
mourning. If this was neglected it was
believed that the bees would leave the
hives and seek new homes.
The castom is observed in rural New
England aud many other parts of America
and is quite general in the old world.
Whittier has embodied the quaint SUI
perstition in a beautiful poem:
Before them under the garden wall
Forward ard bsck,
Went drearily SINKING the chore girl small.
Draping each hivk with shred OF black.
