High Priced Bumblebees.

Many years ago the farmers of Aus
tralia imported bumblebees from Eng
land and set them free in their clover
fields. Before the arrival of the bees
clover did not flourish in Australia,
but after their coming the farmers had
no more difficulty Oh that score. Nh.
Darwin had shown that bumblebees
We're the only insects fond Of clover nee
tar which possessed a proboscis suffi-
GENTLY long to reach the bottom of the
long, tubelike flowers and at the same
time a body heavy enough to bend down
the clover head SO that the pollen would
fall on the insects back and thus be
carried off to fertilize other flowers OF
the same species. According to a writer
in Popular Science News, the humble.
bees sent to Australia cost the farmers
there about half a dollar apiece, but
they proved to be worth the price.

Making 1t Easy.

Old John S. was a rural postman
in a west country district and in a
rather rough fashion was also an anna
teur. dentist. On his rounds one day he
met a certain farmer about to start fol-
a six mile ride to town for the purpose
of getting an aching tooth drawn. On
seeing old John, however, the farmer,
distracted with pain, determined to test
the old mans skill as a tooth puller. A
pair of somewhat rusty pliers was pro-
duced, and after a few tugs the tooth
was held up for the farmer to see, who
exclaimed:
"Why, John, you've drawn the wrong
tooth! That is a sound one!"
Il know that, master" said John,
"but now I can get at the other handi-
er. "-Pearson's Weekly.
