HAVE BEES CONSCIENCE?
An Incident Which Would Seem to
Prove 1t.

This question was raised in my mind,
and answered In the affirmative, by the
following incident which 1 observed in
the course of a country ramble on the
coast of Devon, says the London Spec
tator." There were several small bum
bic bees steadily at work among the
many gay colored blossoms which form
perfect flower bed ON either side of a
cliff walk on that lovely promontory
opposite the little fishing town Of SAL
combe. Each bee kept to his own par
ticular flower, as $50 Sir John Lubbock
tells us) all we'll conducted bees should
do. But one became puzzled by the
likeness in color between black KNAPP
weed and purple thistles. His flower
for this outing was evidently the KNAPP
weed, and when he had exhausted all
its blossoms in the immediate neigh
borhood he was beguiled by similarity
in color into trying a thistle, but on
alighting, he instantly discovered his
mistake, and few about looking for
more knapweed, which he might easily
have found by flying a few yards fur
ther. Instead, however, he returned to
the inviting thistle head. and this time
gave himself up with perfect abandon
to it's luscious delights, sitting the
voice of conscience which ON his first
visit he had so instantly obeyed.
These little humble bees well repay
the time spent on watching their small,
busy lives On another occasion, when
camping for the day in a fir wood, my
sister became aware of two of these
soft little creatures buzzing round and
round the skirt Of her dress in such a
determined spirited way that we felt
they meant business and not mischief.
My sister drew her skirt away. when
the bees instantly made for a tiny hole
in the bank. evidently their house door.
Their gentle, persistent manner of max
ing their meaning known to US was
most striking.

BOYS OF sHAKESPEARES TIME

tion of the Great Poet.

The leading serial for "St. Nicholas
the present year is Master Skylark," T"
by John Bennett. 1t is story of
Shakespeare's time, and the poet figures
as one of the characters. The follow
ing is a scene from the December num-
ber, in which two boys start quarrel
over the abilities of the poet:
Hodge came on a little way shaking
his head like an old sheep in a corner.
''Wully Shaxper a great man?" said he.
Why as name be cut on th old beech
tree up SnItteriel lane, where's uncle
Henry Shaxper lives, an it's but poorly

about all thou canSt do. Dost think
that mans greatness hangs on so lit

''Wull, maybe; maybe not; but if it
be a great man, Nick Atwood, a might
do a little thing passing well-so there

Nick pondered for a moment. 81 do

men can do the little things, but parlous
few the big. So some one must be big

Hodge, vacantly.

"ptis nowt to me. Thy Muster Wully

bending over him.
There! thou hast seen it tried. Now

Hodge bHnked and gaped, collected
his wits which had scattered to the four
winds.
'Whoy," said he vaguely, IF t is all
O. that to thee, I take it back"
Nick rose, and Hodge scrambled
clumsily to his feet. 'I'll ma go whur
I be whipped"
Nick turned on his heel without a
word, and started on.
AN, what's more" bawled Hodge
after him, thy Muster Wully Shaxper

AS he spoke he turned, dived through
the thdn hedge, and galloped across the
field as If an army were at his heels.
Nick started back, but quickly
paused. Thou needst ma run he

now. But mind We this, Hodge Dawson,
