THE BEE LINE" As 1T IS.
Honey Bees Have Homing Instincts,
hut Must He Trained.

Bees have a keener sense of sight than
ants. Honey has been placed on colored
SLIPS among others without honey. Al
though the positions have been. changed,
the bees on returning for a fresh sip
have gone directly to the color on which
they found the honey at the previous
visit. The favorite colors OF the bees
seem to be orange and yellow, and then
blue. They seem to care little about
others. Their sense OF smell Is strong.
Eau de cologne having been placed near

was nothing to bc gained. went back and

HE WAS 4 STRANGER.
Col. Sims Idea ms to How nm Even

They are telling a good joke on Col.

fond of games of chance and is apt to

ricdly finished his meal and left the

of the other guests, some of whom rec

MORE DIRECTIONS.

The opponents OF woman suffrage
have found what they suppose TO be
two objections to the proposition of a
novel character.
one is that there would arise n con-
nlct between the religious and the civil
laws IL woman should be allowed to
vote. In the marriage which
they regard as n sacrament OF the
church. the wife pledges herself to obey
her husband. and the mandate is
wives. obey your husbands"
But the civil laws makes II a penal
offense for any person to seek to infu-
enc another's vote. II a husband
sought to dictate to his wife how to
cast her ballot he would be liable to go
to State prison. But would not IA wife
violat the pledge given at the altar II
she should refuse to obey her husband
In such a matter?
Another objection is found In the
United States Constitution. In the
preamble II Is declared that the people
do ordain and establish this Constitu-
ton In order, among other things, to
insure domestic tranquility These
%auibblers ask whether the bestowal Of
the franchise on women can be claimed
to be n means of insuring domestic
tranquility?
or course, these points will he sub

tion, and the able and experienced la W

publican body Is competent to pass upon
