FEEDING A QUEEN.
How the Bees Nourish the Royal Jelly
Till 1t Develops.

Till 1t Develops.
"Do you know how they train a queenP''
asked IA bonneted old country woman as
she changed the position of her snuff stick
from one side of the mouth to the other.
"You know that they have woman ruler
and won't allow no otheri" she continued.
l nodded my affirmative, making mental
note of tho fact TO give to the woman suf-
fragists.
Well" she continued, "the throne
doesn't come down from mother 10 daugh-
ter, as in Kingdoms, but the working bees
elect their own queen"
They are very democratic, then--like
we are, !" put in, "and have their say as
to who shall govern them"
That's So" she responded, "but they
don't go about 1t in the same way. You
see, when this hive gets too full the work
Ing bees know that S time TO look about for
another queen They must have new
hive, so put one up for them. They un.
derstand and 60 about training queen
that shall be royal enough 10 rule them"
SO they make n robe of honey ermine
and put it on tthe shoulders of the pref
tiest girl bee who receives the popular
voter" j suggested.
"They don't do any such thing. with n
gesture of disgust. "They pick out a larva
and begin TO feed IL with the queerest food
You ever saw. They get 1t from certain
flowers and never use it i'm the making of
honcycomb. Only once do they seek such
sweetness, and then tits on an occasion
like this They put the little living germ
off TO itself and nourish IL on this food.
We bee tenders call IL the royal jelly.'
Whenever we see this performance going
on we know that very soon the old queen
will be the dowagcr, and that the new hive
Is 10 be occupied As soon as the larva,
reaches its proper strength it is carried by
the bees To their new homo as ruler, and the
throne and sceptcr are given her. This
royal Jelly never makes its appearance
again until like occasion calls for it. We
call this feeding a queen. New York

Carrying Competition Up to the


Doorsteps.
To THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS;
SIR-Competition in trade is recognized
everywhere as just and fair, and as an i'm
petus TO excel, energies and invigorates
the life OF business. The ct hics of trade,
those common courtesies which the true
man of business accepts, are
never disregarded except in isolated
instances. Down in my part of the coun-
try such methods as are sometimes re-
sorted to in this section to obtain busi-
ness would not be tolerated an instant.
The above thoughts have suggested them
selves TO me by observing the audacious,
not to use a harsher term, man.
ner in which a horse dealer named
Pierce, of Dorrance street, tries
to injure the business OF his
competition, Mr.. Underwood of Hopkins
stables. Every Thursday Pierce secures
q band and leading his procession of
horses proceeds up the street TO
the Hopkins establishment where a
halt is made and the crowd is
regaled with speech from Mr.. Pierce
that he has horses to sell that are better
and cheaper than those of Underwood,
and winds up by advising any possible
buyers If they want any horse to come
TO him. 1t seems to me that
this is going out of the way to
harm a competitor, and though it may
seem to be novel and unique manner OF
doing things from Mr.. Pierce's point of
view, it strikes me as bordering on the
very questionable way, which cannot
but result disastrously for Mr.. Pierce. l
think Underwood will thrive because
most men like fair play and doubt il he
cares anything about the matter at all.
But as a crank outsider" am moved to
criticise this kind % business methods.

The subject discussed by well-known
writer in one of the metropolitan papers
yesterday was whether or not there was
such thing as a truly contented person.
He gave 1t as his opinion that no one, it
mattered not whether he was rich or
poor, honored or obscure, with or with
out religious belief, was contented, and
that it was against human nature for any
one to be so.
And when you come to think it over, it
is just about so. OLD VET.
