A Beilod BuEsard shot.

For probably twenty years, At In
torvals, the press of the State has con.
tanned notices of "belled buzzard."
Sometimes he would be seen in north
Mississippi, sometimes in south Missis-
sippi. Unless there we're more than
one "belled buzzard," however, this
much-wondered-a curiosity is no
longer in evidence. While L. J. Dear,
of Rankin County, was out hunting his
attention was attracted by the tinkl:ng
of small bell, TIE sound of which
seemed to come from nowhere in par
ticular. For some time he searched
for the source OF the ringing, and was
finally rewarded by discovering q
buzzord flying over him with bell
suspended from its neck. He shot the
bird, and found the bell fastened on
with n small leather strap, upon which
was cut the name "PArks," presuma-
bly, the surname Of individual who
fastened it on the bird. II is to be
regretted that Mr. "Parks" did not
also engravo his postofRce address on
the collar. 1t would be interesting TO
know how long the bell has been worn
and how many miles his buzzardship
has travelled since donning his badge
of civilization. Terry Miss Head

Insects in 9 communities.

In paper recently read before an
English scientific association, an in.
teresting account was given of the
management of communities OF bees
and ants. The functions and duties
of individuals, the guardianship OF
community welfare, the facilities for
increase and reconstruction, and the
methods of government were COM
mented on. In colonies of white ants,
it was stated that the governing forces
had the power to produce at will
various kinds Of individuals. Certain
communities have what appeared to
be assistant queens and kings, evident
ly provided in case of accident TO or
There were colonies in which soldier
ants abounded; others where there
were mono at all, but where they were
produced on short notice in times
when there was likely to be need OF
them. Some sorts of ants feed upon
their dead relations, and multItudes
have been destroyed by those who went
outside to get food. They returned
to their homes, died, and were de.
voured by their fellows, they in turn
dying in large numbers. Entire tribes
we're swept off in this way. The study
of bees is even more interesting.
There are sometimes hundreds of thou
sands of worker-bees with one queen.
It is quite the rule that only the
workers and the queen survive the
winter. The drone is the male bee,
and when his services are not required
he is killed and thrown from the hive.
The queen lays her eggs in cells built
for her by the workers, who are sex
less bees. In large cells the eggs
hatch into drones; in the small ones
into workers The queen is fed, the
young bees cared tor and the house
work of the establishment is done by
bees too young for flight or so old
that their wings will not bear them
on their honey gathering flights. The
queen rarely allows a rival, and if a
new queen is hatched, swarm almost

Although progressin this direction in
our country has been GLOW, the report

and as the railroad companies begin
more and more to assume perma-

can be question of only short time
when this saving of forest supplies
will be forced upon them, insuring

From time to time one hears of
different means of caring for sprained

ETC., but the way now in vogue seems
to give better results than any in the
past.

the case. The patient is suffering

the patient can bear it, aud apply
with a sponge or cloth, rather than al
low the ankle to lie j. the water.
Then dry and let the part rest quietly,
wrapped in fannels, when an applica.
tion af hamamelis, or veratrum and
