Aren't you making too much

Bees DO Differently Hero.

In America it has been observed that
bees often bore tubular corollas in
order to get ut the nectar of flowers,
instead of entering by the mouth, as
humble bees do in Europe. In essays
on the cross fertilization of flowers this
supposed anomaly has been the subject
of much comment. 1t now appears
that the humble bees of Europe and
America have identical habits in regard
to the manner in which the visits to
flowers are made, and that it is the
class of insects known as the carpenter
bee, or the borer which works in the
outside manner Indicated.

A Slight fIfstakc.

She had attended the ambulance
classes and obtained the certificate.
The street accident she had earnestly
prayed for took place. A man had
broken his leg. She conhscated the
wnllsing-stick of passer-by and broke
1t in three pieces for splints. She tore
up her skirt for bandages. When all
was completed she summoned q cab
and took her patient to the hospital.
WHO bandaged this limb SO cred
itably?" inquired the surgeon. at did"
she blushingly replied. "Well, it Is
most beautifully-most beautifully
done; but you have made, find, one
little mistake. You have bandaged
the wrong leg"

AIM Sohouoeor Explained Why They Ran
so Slow.
When ono leaves the main lines of
railrond, east or west, and travels, or
tries to travel, on some road which
merely serves local purpose, he is
likely to find prevailing free and easy
state OF things as. regards speed and
schedule time. A Wyoming newspaper
gives this account of certain railroad
flyer" out that way:
People mover take this train except
for journeys of considerable length;
walking Is us easy and much safer for
short distances. On recent occasion,
when tho movement of the train was
even more deliberate than usual, pas
senger went to the conductor and said:
Amt we going pretty slow?"
Well" said the conductor, Eve

May L ask what is the trouble,
thcn?"
Amt any trouble"
"Thcn why don't we go fastcr?"
"Well, III tell you, since YOU seem to
be so inquisitivc. Back here piece
we found fine two-ycar-old steer
stuck in the trestlc, and we stopped
and helped him out. Now the rules of
the road are that in such cases the ami
NAL belongs to the company"
But how does that make you run so
slow?"
Run slow? Why, that ere steer
amt used to being led, and when we
hitched him on behind the rear car he
didn't walk up very well. Pm doing
all Ican-got the brakeman punching
him from behind with an umbrella,
and an car of corn tied to the bell rope.

horns off as good q steer US there is in

taken. that's ollln

VICTORIA is OLD-FASHlONED.
But IS She's Queen 1t Sounds Better to
Call Her Conservative

but IS She's Il Queen 1t Sounds Better to
Call Her Conservative
Queen Victoria is remarkably con-
servative old lady so far as the routine
of life goes. She loves old customs and
doesn't like new things-not even new
furniture or new fashions "Whcn u
distinguished lady," it is said, "a few
years back, sent her children by her
majcsty's request to Windsor, she sent
them dressed as was and is still the
mode, in tucked blouse dresses without
sashes But the queen considered that
no child should be brought to her in
other but full dress, and full dress in
her mind did not exist without the
smart sash she had always known.
And very courteously but firmly She
made objection to the little frocks, and
asked that the next time the countess
brought her children to her that she
would not forget the sashes-'"
The queen, says the New York Trib-
une, still wears the horrible congress
cutters Of thirty years ago in which her
foot shows no sign OF Spanish instep.
Her children still address her in the
way which was fashionable when they
were little things. No member of the
upper class ever said Mother" then;
and from the eldest to the youngest
they still call the queen Mamma"

TERMINATION OF SEEDS.


Tho Variation OF Time Required by Dir.
"a fcrent Varieties.
The time required for terminating
varies from u few hours to two years,
says the Brooklyn Eagle. The seed of
the tropical mangrove sprouts even be-
fore the fruit has fallen off the branches
INTO the soft oozc beneath. The seeds
OF the willow will gern.ilate few
hours after being sown; those of span
mach and kidney beans in three DAYS;
OF lettuce in five days; of some pinks in
ten days; of tho willow in eleven days,
and of tho walnut and pine in four or
SIX weeks; wtilc those of the rose,
hawthorn. ash, dogwooe, maple and
other trees do not, under ordinary cir
cumstances, terminate till from one
and n half to two years after being put
into the ground. Most of the crosses
germinatc within one or two days.
The seed of the common cress, used in
mustard and crcss, on being forced,
frequently yields crop within forty
eight hours after being sown. The
period of time required for germina-
ton varies in accordance with the
nature OF the seed and the surround
lngs and circumstances under which it
Is grown, such as soil, temperature,
moisture, etc. The seed of globe tur-
nip is exceedingly small, not larger,
perhaps, than the twentieth part of an
inch in diameter, and yet in few
months this seed, elaborated by the
soil and atmosphere, increases to
twenty-scvcn millions of times its
original bulk; and this, in addition to
considerable bunch of leaves From
experiments recently made it has been
proved that turnip seed may increase
its own weight fifteen times in u
minute On peat ground turnips have
been found to increase by growth fif-
teen thousand nine hundred and ninety
times the weight of their seed each day
they stood upon it.

regard, as n rule, every possible pnr-
chaser or lessee US an enemy, says the
New York Sun. Ordinarily the ONLY
compensation they get is the privilege
OF living in the premises rent free.
consequently, the sale or lease of the
house would result in their being
tnrned out of doors. The result is
that the intending purchaser will have
the bad points of the premises pointed
out In place of being concealed, and
everything calculated to make him
think Ill of the house will be rendered
conspicuous. This is done adroitlv
when the caretalser is n diplomatist,
ana the announcement of the buildings
defects take the form of admissions ap-
parently made with reluctance.

tire house nicely; that is, for people
who don't like to have their rooms too

won't lose her only home if she can

another carctaller.
why doesn't it then?'
"Oh! it never does when it is being
used in the kitchen. You wash on
Monday, 1 suppose?"
The now not intending purchaser
with difficulty now reprcsscs an incli-
nation to announce that he washes on
other days besides Mondays, as he
quits the house. When he is gone the
carcuaker and her family return thanks
that they have 4 roof over their heads
for another twenty -four hours. at least.
