WORKERS IN THE HIVE.
Description and History of the Bee That
Makes the Honey.

Description and History of the Bee That
Makes the Honey.
Prof. A. j. Cook, in Rural Californian:
We have now described the queen bee,
the most important member of the bee
community, as she lays all the eggs, and
so is necessary to preserve the popula-
ton and life of colony. The drone has
also been considered, and, as we have
seen, has no use except the provocative
function; hence is wanting in the hive
except when the bees are looking for
ward, because of over-population in the
colony, to swarming. The worker bee
is shorter than either the drone or
queen, much shorter than the queen
and much smaller than the drone. The
worker bee is really an undeveloped
female. She has rudimentary ovaries,
and occasionally a worker is seen that
can lay few eggs. Such bees are
known as fertile workers." and, as
they never mate, the eggs are, OF course,
not formulated and only produce males
hence such bees are worse than
worthless. The wings of the workers
reach to the tip of the body. On the
outer side of the hind pair of legs are

the deep pollen baskets, made deeper
by rim of coarse hairs. These curious
dinner pals are an important adjunct
in the bees structure furnishings, for
the young of all bees live wholly or in
large part on pollen, and thus these
busy cleaners need external dinner
pals in which to carry pollen no less
than internal ones in which to carry the
nectar. These hind legs also bear on
the inner face opposite the pollen bas-
kets rows of bright yellow hairs, which
are fashioned to comb off the pollen
that so abundantly lodges in the
branched hairs. Another most curious
arrangement of these hind legs is the
wax jaws, which remind us of a steel
trap, and are admirably adapted to
their function of removing the wax
scales from beneath the body where
they are formed to the mouth, where
they are fashioned to form the im-
maculate comb. The front pair of legs
have the curious antennae cleaners to
remove the pollen from the antennae.
Thus these antennae cleaners, with deli
cate brush and membrane, are really
the bees pocket-handkerchief to be
used to wipe the bees nose-the an
tennae. Thus the antennae are kept
clean and so the bees can smell the
scent of bloom from afar. The eyes
of the workers are like those of the
queen; but the jaws and tongue are
greatly different from those of either
drone or queen. The jaws are gouge-
like, and, no doubt, admirably fitted to
fashion the comb, or to cut away dis
turbing cloth, paper or even wood.
The tongue is long, slender and very
complex. With it they can sip slowly
from long tubular flowers, lap or wipe
thick honey from board or glass, and
take nectar rapidly from loaded flowers.
A colony of bees have been known to
take 90 pounds of honey in day, and
a single colony in southern California
have taken 600 pounds in season. The
worker bees do all the work of the hive.
The younger bees digest the food for
larvae queen and drones, fashion the
wax, nurse the young, construct the
comb-though in some respects all the
bees are comb builders-in short, do
all the work of the hive. The older
bees gather the nectar, pollen and
glue, ard may aid to build comb and
secrete wax. The worker bees are
reared in the small horizontal cells and
are 81 days from eggs to maturity, in
stead of 16, as in the case of the queen,
or "a as in the case of the drone. The
quantity of food fed to the larvae is
what controls the development of
either queen or worker. If the food is
abundant and rich, the impregnated
egg produces queen; but if it is scant
and of poor quality then worker re-
suits. Here is a case where enforced
lack of nutrition has become natural
and produces important structural
changes that modify greatly the life
functions.

PERFECT HEALTH.

An Interesting Bit of History rs Told
by q Travelling Man.
From the World, Cleveland, Ohio.


From the World, Cleveland, Ohio.
After an extended trip lasting several
months and embracing many points of in
terest throughout the West and South, MIR.
George Lockhart, of Hudson, Ohio, returned
home few days ago. He is bright and
genial as ever and looks as IL his long holt
day had thoroughly agreed with him.
Mr.. Lockhart's business during his travels
took him frequently to Hot Springs and
other health resorts He does not appear TO
have been very favorably impressed with
the peculiarities of life at such places, nor
with the benefits received by the patients.
"Men go there to get cured OF disease" says
he. "They take one hot bath In the morn
ing and spend the rest of the day generally
In drinking, gambling and general dissipa-
ton. How they can expect to recover I'M
der such treatment passes my comprehen-
sion. But they are, as rule, what the
world calls good fellows, free with their
money and bent on enjoying themselves.

permanent friendship. l am indebted to
him for benefits which have left on my

slight lameness in my right leg, contracted
about year ago, had gradually become
worse until l was compelled to go around on
crutches all the time. Then my general
health failed, until in the latter part OF the
summer / had about concluded to come
home to die. Such state of affairs as you
will easily understand, was anything but
comfortable. / was, in fact, neither more
nor less than helpless invalid, nuisance
to myself and everybody around me. IL was
at thi. juncture that one day on the train
fell into conversation with The man men

liams' Pink Pills. l did so. You see the
result" r
And Mr.. Lockhart expanded his broad
chest and smiled. "Look here" he con-
tinued, rs he took Off his hat and holding it
on a level with his head, kicked it easily
with the foot that used 10 be lame. No bet
ter picture of perfect health and Astounding
animal spirits could be wished for than this
one-time invalid.
"My future movements are uncertain"
said Mr.. Lockhart at parting. ~ will re-
main in Hudson for some time but before
the summer is over l expect to make visit
to Europe"
Dr. Williams Pink Pills contain, in q con-
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also a
specific for troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, Irregularities and all

pale and sallow cheeks. In men they effect

mental worry, overworl1 or excuses of

than palliate THIS obstinate complaint. Try
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, however, and
you will find that it is conquerable, along
with its symptoms, heartburn, fatulence,

Biousness and constipation frequently ac-

We do not give credit to the re-
port that the president will allow
the republican tariff bill to become
a law. 1t is said that he las con
stitutional scruples as to the right
Of the president to veto a revenue
bill, and also that he will be in
fuenced by the peculiar conditions
Of the country at this time to accept
the only means Of relief that can be
had from this congress, says the
Commercial Appeal. No warrant
for these alleged, constitutional
scruples is to be found in the con,
stiIutioD. The fact that the consti-
tuition has given to the house Of
representatives the exclusive right
to originate revenue bills has moth
ing to do with the case. The senate,
which can not originate, may yet
amend or defeat a revenue bill
passed by the house, and has never
hesitated to do so when it saw lit. I
In the same way the president may
veto it. The constitution means
just what it says-that the bills must
originate in the house, but they can
only be enacted into law by the oc-
currence of both houses of congres SIS
and the executive, or the overriding
Of the latter'srveto by two-thirds of
of both. branches of congress. AS
to the bill being accepted as a.
measure of relief the president and
his'secretary of the treasury have
both expressly denied that the
treasury needs any increase Of rev.
enuc. There may be room to
question the trustworhiness Off
their calculations on this point, but
we can not suppose that Mr.. Cleve' :
land is ready toapprovea measure !
