The Slang of the Drawing Room.

vulgar only because it is more idiotic?

Home and Abroad.

1t is the duty of everyone, whether
at home or travelling for pleasure OF
business, to equip himself with the
remedy which will keep up strength
and prevent illness, and cure such ills
as are liable to come upon all in every
day life. For instance Hoods Sarsap-
arilla as general tonic, and to keep
the blood pure and less liable to absorb
the germs of disease, will be well nigh
invaluable. Change of drinking water
often causes serious trouble, especially
if one has been used to spring water
in the country. From a few drops to
q teaspoonful Of Hoods Sarsaparilla
in tumbler of water will prevent the
water having any injurious effect.
Hoods Vegetables Pills, as cathar-
tic, cause no discomfort, no disturb
ance, no loss of sleep, but assist the d.
gestive organs, so that satisfactory re-
suits are effected in a natural and reg
ular manner.

HONEY LOVING BIRDS.
They Sometimes Have Battles With Bee
For the Sweet Booty.

They Sometimes Have Battles With Bees
For the Sweet Booty.
The love for sweet things is craving
Of nature In all living creatures, and
birds will sometimes run great risks to
satisfy 1t. Bears in their eagerness to
get at the honey in hollow tree will
sometimes wedge themselves into SO
small hole as to endanger their lives,
and many forest birds, such as wood
peckers, blue jays and thrushes, will
run the danger Of being stung to death
In their endeavors to obtain the sweet
honey that the bees store in the hollow
trunks OF trees. Sometimes they will
attack bees on the wing and snap them
up for the tiny speck of nectar contained
in their sacks. Blue jays often take a
position near beehives and fish all day
for honey. Every returning bee is
caught, but not devoured, for birds will
kill the bee only that they may sip up
the honey. Unless driven away few
such bird robbers would soon depopu-
late hive.
Occasionally the bees organize and
fight the birds. They issue in a body
from the hive and mako bold attack
upon the assassins. In the quick, sharp
conflict that follows the birds invaria-
bly, get defeated. Indeed they do not at
tempt to resist the onslaught, but seek
safety In flight If the bees surround
one Of the birds quickly enough, there
is little hope for the robber. They settle
down upon him and sting him to death.
He may fly away, but the bees cling to
his back and sides tenaciously. His
fight soon becomes less energetic and
more and more uncertain until at last
he drops to the earth and gasps out his
life among the leaves and bushes, while
the bees return triumphantly to their
home.
In the wild forests the honey loving
birds sometimes make an organized at.
tempt to drive the bees away from their
home in the. hollow trunk Of tree.
They first discover the place of the hid
den treasure by following the bees on a
warm, sunny day, and if there be an
opening in the tree large enough to ad-
NIT them they plunge down the hole in
a body.
Then there follows q sharp conflict
inside the tree; the birds swapping at the
bees and cutting them in two at each
snap. The only chance for the bees is to
light on the backs and sides Of the
birds. If they fail to do this, they are
soon routed. and the rich treasures Of
sweets are captured by the enemies,
These battles terminate in various ways,
sometimes the bees and sometimes the
birds coming out victorious Our Ami.

Here he was, plunging into science

thing on the subject and cannot think

that after your journey you would like

He looked amazed and then embar-
rassed.
THANK you very much, Mrs. Bot

care at all for bath. I shall do very
well here, and"-
"No, nor' she said nervously. II
know that you are only afraid that there
is no hot water on such warm day,
and you do not wish to give trouble.
Not word if you please, Mr.. Smith.
You will really annoy me If you refuse. !"
She thought to herself that he little
knew how more than annoyed she was
at the thought Of his possible questions
As he followed James, Mr.. Smith re-
marked to himself that before this ex-
perience he would have vowed that she
was too pretty to be eccentric. He had
no wish to bathe, but fearing to vex her
meekly proceeded to perform his ablu-
tions.
She was so elated that she went to
the piano and sang for half an hour.
She was startled by hearing some one
come rushing into the room behind her.
She wheeled on the stool and encoun-
tered the gaze of Mr.. Smith, who stood
before her, looking decidedly uneasy.
II beg pardon for interrupting you,
Mrs. Botkine," he said, "but wished
to thank you for your kindness and to
make my adieus. -
"Why, Ar. Smith, she began, but
he waved his hand apologetically and
continued:
''I am very sorry not to have found
Professor Botkine but perhaps / can
come again. There is inst time for me
to catch the o'clock train. -
For moment she felt stunned Then
food Of questions poured through her
mind Was the man insane, or what
had she done to offend him? What was
there in science to turn an apparently

savage? The rest Of the day seemed end
less, but at last she described Professor
Botkine and with him a rather desic-
Gated and "dug up" looking man.

fessor. II found our friend on the train.
He had mistaken the train and gone to
Alameda Mr.. Smith, let me present
you to Mrs Botkine."
She welcomed her guest cordially,
but the minute she was alone with her
husband she seized him by the lapels
"What joke have you been playing
on me?" she demanded. "Who is this |
Mr.. Smith,
"Why, my dear, there Is no joke. |
This is the Mr.. Smith that told you / |

the matter?"
"Matter!" she cried '"Who is the
