THE BEEHIVE.
Some of the AnaIogies it Bears to
Human Society.

Some of the AnaIogies it Bears to
Human Society.
The beehive is analogous to human
society in that the male sex has the
best part of existence. the most COM
Portable and favorable lot. The drones
are .'the lazy fathers of the industrious
hive" The queen is the one and only
fuay-developed female in each hive,
but there are, at a. certain season, a
vast number of idle gentlemen lounging
around. The community lin a hive con-
sists generally. in the midst of summer,
of from 10000 to 10000 bees. and of these
perhaps 1,500 may be drones. They are
known at a glance 10y their burly,
heavy appearance. and a. closer ex-
animation shows that they have neither
the stings nor the leg-baskets which
distinguish the working and struggling
members Of the community. The drones
fly out when they like, but not to gath
er honey. This they eat, at their lux
uri0us pleasure, out of the cells where
the workers store it up. They do moth
ing whatever in the hive to earn their
keep. They may be seen lazily and
aimlessly strolling about, as though
with their hands in their pockets, or
propping themselves UP in convenient
spots and going off to sleep for hours
together. The one purpose for which
they are called into being is to accept
the handkerchief, it, by chance or fav-
or, it is thrown them by the queen.
This does not seem so bad, does it?
One or two, or say three, male human
creatures might not object to take the
post of drone in a socialist state. But
the black side OF the life of a drone
must now be displayed. The drones are
produced only during that short sea-
son of the year when swarming takes
'place; that is to say, the earliest COM
ers of their kind hatch out of the eggs
about the end of April Before three
months have elapsed from that date
not drone Is TO be seen. All are dead;
and nearly all have been killed with
the most barbarous cruelty.

One Of the most interesting ma
chimes exhibited was an electric churn,

and the churn were fixed upon a table.
The power was transmitted from the
motor to the vertical axis OF the
churn by an arrangement of pulleys.
In the floor polishing brush the motor
was situated above the brush proper,
rotating at high speed, and the whole
device was pushed over the floor with
a long handle like that of a lawn now

a tap in the wall. In the electric shoe

A wOsIAN's WIT.
She Suggested an Ingenious Adver-
Using Dodge That Sold Il Lot OF
Dull Real Estate.

Dull Real Estate.
In answer to a newspapers request
for his advertisement a prominent
merchant lately said: SHOW me d
new way to advertise and I'll consider
1t. His case proved the seemingly
hopeless condition of conventionality
that pervades advertising. To be
unique or original is almost impossible.
But the woman who suggested an
idea recently to d real estate man is
now making a respectable commission
by her cleverness.
The owner was the unfortunate pos
SCISSOR of land in New Jersey, past
which the train whizzed filled with
commuters several times daily TO well
populated suburbs of New York. One
day u was noticed that at the usually
empty, forlorn looking station, instead
OF single farmer in his one-horse
rtckety vehicle, there were smart Eng
lish traps, with English-lookinS
grooms and footmen, drawn by bob
tailed hackneys, a coach and tandem,
and chic French BONES with long cap
ribbons carrying very much .be-laced
and be-ribbOned infants in their arms.
There were stunning looking young
women, too, with golf capes and sticks,
chatting with equally Well-groomed
young men in driving coats or cordu-
roys. The whole scene suggested that
or LenoX had taken possession of a
place formerly given up to the farmer
and mosquito.
AS the train stopped several fashion
ably dressed people entered the stand
ing carts and coaches, recognized
/ friends who seemed waiting for the
up train to New York and drove off,
followed by the surprised looks of the
people in the train.
For several weeks the little wayside
station was bristling with life and fill
led with attractive looking people. Be
fore this time real estate investors and
home seekers, fired with ambition to
be in touch with this fin du steele
gathering, and undeterred by the fact
that the few buildings in sight were
not in keeping with the representa-
tives at the station, purchased land
and began building. Lots were rapid
ly sold, streets were laid off, and what
had been a hopeiessly unattractfve
way station soon blosSomed into a
thriving New Jersey summer resort.
How long it took the investors to
discover that the supposed population
was simply score or more OF impe-
cunious actors and actresses, who,
owing to hard times and out of en-
ployment, were glad. for a few dollars
a day. to be used as an advertisement,
no one knows.
The real estate man and the clever
woman who suggested the idea are
reaping the benefits ard receiving the
hearty congratulations of the initial
real estate agents. A prominent mem
Der of this profession says he is going
to borrow her plan for use at some
untenanted land he has near Saratoga.
