Another profitable season for the
beachcombers is In the middle of win
ter, after every severe storm. The
articles of value then come from
wrecks, and consist of about everything
that one can imagine. A lumber-laden
schooner may go to pieces on the reef,
and enough fine Georgia pine will drift
ashore to build several houses. By
means of a long pole, tipped with an
iron hook, the beachcomber stands
knee deep In the water and collects
lumber by the wholesale. He may sell
this for good money, or use 1t for build
ing a house. A coal-laden schooner
springs n leak in the storm, and the
captain, to save the crew, beaches her
She strikes n reef and goes to pieces
and everything drifts away except the
coal. During the very low tides. a hun.
dred tons Of coal are exposed to view
on the reef. The b~eachcomber gathers
this for the local market or for his OWE
use. Fruits, nuts and general mer
chandise are washed upon the beaches
some are water-soaked and ruined
others are not injured at ALL More OIL
less personal property also makes It:
way to the shore. Wound In among
the seaweed the beachcombers will fine
various articles of clothing, long coil:
of rope, broken spars and rigging, and
even small anchors. Occasionally rusty
! broken, and furnished rings, parts Of
watch-chains, and other jewelry, will
glisten from heaps Of wet sand. Il
| would be impossible for even q beach
| comber to enumerate the great variety
OF articles he collects. Beachcomber,
are usually farmer fishermen. They
| collect the driftwood for burning, sea
| weed for bedding their cows and pigs
| and pnrcics for fertIlIzing their few
| acres of tiIlable land. Some are natur

than hunting for things thrown up OF

living, and, unless wreck
are cast up for them, they are apt t
feel the pinch of winter, and suffer TO

Just as small boats always keep near
shore, the short-legged rabbit is never
found far from a hiding. place of some
sort Nature gave the gray rabbit coat
with a color that is a very great pro-
lection to him; and when he furis his
ears and lies close to the ground n
can sometimes actually step oyer him
without seeing that he Is there. The
ways OF this little creature have sur
prised me many times; but he never &c

IN tbA hesoh.

~Beacncumbers make a good living, a.
A rule. by collecting nearly everything
that each storm casts upon the beaches.
The fall of the year is their profitable
season. The September gales send the
waves high up on the beaches and
carry the surface sand back with them,
leaving the hard-pan exposed. This
hard-pan is found on every beach, and
varies from q light yellow to a dark
brown When Jewelry, money, or any
valuables are lost, they work down
| through the light surface sand with
marvellous quickness, and finally col
lect on this hard-pan. There they re-
main concealed from all human eyes
until the fall gales expose them to view.
The ~beachcomber considers all such
findings his legal property, and with a
long stick In his hands and tight rubber
boots on his feet, searches the whole
length OF the beach for his booty. None
but a b~eachcomber realizes how much
can be collected after the first fall
storms. The summer visitors seem de-
termlned to plant the beaches with
rings, pins, watches, silver and gold
coin, buckles, and many tribes. Sew.
eral thousand dollars worth Of jewelry
are lost annually on the Long Island
beaches, and even more on the Jersey
coast. The watches are usually good
only for the amount Of gold or silver In
| them, for the salt water ruins the works
in a short time. Last fall a beach
comber found on Fire Island beach
| handsome watch. which he sold fol
$40, besides 500 In silver coin, and
many trInkets. Altogether his findings
amounted to over $500. During the
summer season many beachcombers &c
forth every morning by sunrise tt
search the beaches, and every day they
pick up valuables Of various descrip
tons. While n is lying on the sand
money very easily rolls out of thu
pocket, and o great deal of small chang,

Trained Bees.

Among the smaller animals none are
90 intelligent, practical and sober-mind-
ed as the busy bee. He will mount In
the air and Hy In a straight line for his
hive. When a man wishes to say that
he has gone by the shortest line from
one point to anotber-and that as
mathematics teach, Is a straight line
he says he made a bee line" for the
place. So in the structure Of their
cells they apply by instinct the form
and proportions which reason proves
to be the most effective and economical
Of space.
1t would appear, therefore, a very
simple thing to teach bees tricks and in
troduce them to a professional life as
performers on the amusement stage.
Yet probably very few have ever seen
them trained. In 1881, however, a Mr..
Wildeman of Plymouth did train a
troup and exhibited them fer the recrea-
ton of the curious public. He trained
q swarm of bees so well that he made
them enact maneuvers with as much
precision and unity as soldiers going
through field tactics. Wildeman would
appear before an audience with the
bees swarming all ove him. They
were on his face and hands, crawling
over his clothes, and his pockets were
full of them.
The hives Of the bees were In a Ger
tain part Of the hall quite removed
from the stage where Wildeman stood
with them thickly clustered on him.
He would give a whistle, and the bees
at once few to their hives. When they
got well settled there he would whistle
again, and back they few and settled
on his face, his hands and clothes once
more. This was done with the greatest
promptness and regularity. 1t must
have been some solicitlde that the
spectators assisted at this performance,
But 1t is due to the bees. and perhaps
to Wildeman, to say that no one wa
aver stung by them.

making a great effort since Ash
Wednesday to affect a certain sub

afternoon the sewing circle to which
she belongs met. Her gown for the
occasion was, according to the New

gray cashmere, with a plated bodice
made Quaker fashion. Her bonnet
was a quaint little gray chip poke,
trimmed with gray ribbon and one
large purple passion flower. The tie
strings were OF broad gray satin RIB

WHAT is ueLfNEss7
Difficult to Define 1t, Eveh if 1t Exists
In Women,


Absolute ugliness In girls Is, accord
ing to woman, very seldom met with,
irregularity, insignifcance or want of
harmony in the features Is not sufficient
to constitute real ugliness. A high fore
head Is nowadays universally consid
cred to be a misfortune.
A pasty complexion Is, no doubt, a ca
lamity, SO is a long upper lip, and so
Is o large chin.
But o girls face may have any one
Of these characteristics may possess
them all-without being positively ugly.
An intelligent mind and a gentle spirit
may do wonders In transforming o
plain face and making 1t, II not beau
tiful, attractive.
And the proof Of this Is the often
noted fact that many p~laln-and even
ugly-girls are led to the altar, while
their handsomer sisters win admiration
without inspiring love.
It is when plain and badly formed
features are the home OF stupidity
when they are unilluminated by O
spark or o ray of generous feeling thai
they form q truly ugly face.
Such faces there are, and there ar,
also no doubt faces cast by nature II
SO biuaJ a mo,l that nothing will rem
der them attractive, any more than Q
deformed figure can be made comely
but such comeliness is almost rs rare al
beauty Itself.
Men often excuse themselves from at
tendance on plain young women OF
this ground, that they are not only III
looking but m-temered.
There Is, too, much truth In th,
charge. But the ugly girl is not with
out excuse. The consciousness that nj
man or woman cares TO look at he
face a second time, Joined to tho sensi
tiyeness she has acquired, Is apt to sou,
her temper, and this, In Its truth, tend
to increase her ugliness.
Yet It IL a singular fact that II q maj
Tor any reason pays marked attention
to a plain girl, she is apt to hold he,
chin half an inch higher In the air thai
o good-looking girl would do under tn
same circumstances.
1t would be futile to inquire into tn,
reason of this tendency on the part o
ugly girls to give themselves airs, bu
the fact is patent to all men.-Cincip
