BEES RESTLESS LIFE.
1t Begins When Three Days Old and
Dies at Forty-Five.

G. W. Reynolds, of Los Angeles, Cal,
one of the eldest travelling men in the
United States, is II years of age. Mr..
Reynolds has ranch, of which he en-
joys telling even more than he does of
the experiences through which he has
passed during his half century upon
the road. The ranch is near San Diego,
Cal. The chief product is honey. This
product is gained from two apiarles,
which Mr.. Reynolds visits every time
his business permits him to go to south
ern California.
''In my apiaries, which are cared for
by my son." said he, there are 14O
stands of bees. The honey season lasts
from April to July. This season my
bees yielded 10000 pounds of honey,
which sells in that country in bulk
lots at four cents pound. Two OF
the hives gave over 500 pounds each.
For ten years | have been interested in
bees in a small way, and take greater
interest in them every year. A hive or
stand of bees is worth $3.50. In it are
the queen, the drones and The workers,
a total population of from 10000 to
$4,000 bees.
This very good-sized colony" he con-
tinued. "resides in hive or wooden
box In the hive are a dozen frames
13 by inches. In these the bees make
or deposit the honey, a foundation of
wax having been first placed in each
frame by the beekceper, so that the
bees may have something to build upon.
The honey is taken out of the frames
every other week during the honey sea-
son. While doing so there is little need
of protecting the hands. The bees seem
to be most inclined to sting one in the
face. So, as precaution, the man who
is removing the honey from the hives
wears a straw hat, from the brim Of
which is hung a silk veil, like they have
to do up in the Klondike country to
ward off the summer mosquitoes.
''The queen is an absolute monarch
within her dominions. She is the un-
disputed boss of the job. An ordinary
bee lives during the working season
only As days. Young ones are being
hatch2d out all the time. A bee goes
to work at the tender age of three
days, and hustles like veteran for
AZ days. Then it is just naturally all
tired out, I suppose, for it dies. The
queen lives longer, and when a young
queen comes into existence in the hive
she drives the old queen out. Her loyal
subjects follow her in her Punishment,
and that is what makes the swarm.
'In southern California the bees
make water-white honey when the
black sage is in blossom. When the
white sage is Towering the honey has
an amber tinge. In winter the bees
make no honey. Seventyfive car loads
of the article are shipped out of San
Diego county in good years. denver

The Age OF Man in switzerland.

1t is not often that estimates are
given in years of the time that has
elapsed since the appearance of early
races of men. Such an estimate, how
ever, has recently been made by DR..
Jacob Nuesch concerning the ancient
inhabitants of Switzerland. According
to Dr. Nuesch man first appeared on
Swiss soil about $4,000 years ago. He
dwelt there during 5000 years, when
great changes occurred, and for 5000
to 12,000 years man seems to have been
absent. He reappeared at the begin
ming of the Lake Dwellers' period,
which lasted 1000 years, and closed
4,0CO years ago with the introduction of

DIVORCED BUSINESS WOMEN.
Tables in Which There Is No Per-
centage for Sentiment.

| Tables in Which There Is No Per-
centage for Sentiment.
There are few sentimental illusions
in any of the reports which emanate
from the government printing office in
Washington under authority of the
commissioner of labor. 1t may be no
surprise, therefore, to many to know
that the eleventh annual report of the
commissioner of labor contains in tab
Ulated form, reduced to exact percent
ages, statement showing the occupa-
tions of divorced women.
The bureau of the statistical expert in
! charge of tabulation divides the female
population of the United States of ten
years or upward into four general
classes. First there are the married.
who number 1916 per cent. Then there
are the widows, who number 1910 per
cent. Third is the class of the 'single
and unknown" these number G9.S4 per
cent Finally there are the divorced,
who constitute nine-tenths of one per
cent. of the female population of ten
years of age or over in the United States,
and they are distributed throughout
various occupations, which the statis
tical experts have endeavored to state
with undertaking cXactness. Of the
total number of divorced women en-
ployed, it seems that .21 per cent, are
bookbindcrs, .99 are shoemakers and
co arc corset makers. "A much smaller
proportion, .42, are saleswomcn, while
sc are telegraph and telephone opera
tors. Stenographers and typcwritcrs
make up CT per cent, and .5S arc mill
hands
The official statistlcIans at Washing
ton look neither to the right nor to the
left in their tabulation and it need be
no surprise, therefore, to know that
1.23 of the divorced women of the United
States who have any business occupa-
ton are merchants, AC4 are carpet max
crs, and 40 are hat and cap makers.
Milliners come under a separate di
vision, their percentage of divorced
women being 1.32. OF seamstrcsseS
there arc 1.35, and of clerks and copyists
81. Moreover, 20 are boXmakers, .GS
printers, 81 cigarette and tobacco max
ers, GA in the confectionery business,
1.43 dressmal1crs, .46 paper mill opera
tors, and Is in silk mills.
The professions have q considerable
number of divorced women, 1.24 being
music teachers and 1.1S teachers Of art.
There are 3.33 per cent. described rs
hotel, restaurant and saloon keepers
and barllcapcrs ard q somewhat larger
proportion as boarding or lodging house
keepers; 1.62 as laundrcsscs; $50 as
nurses, and 81 as agricultural laborers.
In one particular, however, the report
CT the commissioner Of labor seems to
be pretty nearly exact, for 3.26 of the
total number of divorced women are
Put down as agents and it is matter of
very general observation that divorced
women make excellent agents where
persistence ard volubility are required.

The Bore Who Talks About His
Health Ailments.

Health or Ailments.
A group of men were talking in ho-
tel corridor uptown recently when a
man with dark beard and rather long
hair entered. The members of the
group began to scamper away instant
", and it was a curious fact that not
one remained to exchange greetings
with the new arrival, although they all
knew him intimately.
Col David L. Harbaugh, who came
from Ohio and knows President Nc
Kinley and all the big orators and
statesmen, explained why it was that
they all avoided the man.
THAT man is a gentleman and 4

of his friends. He should read Don't,

at is drastic and may result in un-
pleasantness at first, but some close
friend should do it. I had a friend
whose mania was talking about his
health. He looked strong, ate three or
four meals q day, smoked big, black
cigars, and yet his hypochondriacal
monologues were uncomfortable. Every
morning he came to my office and for
an hour would tell me how many times
he sneezed before breakfast, what he
took to prevent a repetition of the
sneezing, how he imagined that some
day indigestion might overtake him,
and lot Of other things not at all en-

until lost my appetite and almost got
sick. But one day 1 ran away and left

about his alleged illness. | told him,
which was true, that he was talented

Three Quccr Tennessee Farmers.

Three Quccr Tennessee Farmers.
There is in Tennessee family of
three sisters which presents some of
the most startling peculiarities mag
Unable. The three sisters live together
on farm, their sole means of sub
sistence, and work early and late to
earn livelihood Two of them work in
the field; the third does the cooking
and other housework. There is but one
period of the year when any member
of the trio has anything to say to any
other member All during the winter,
spring ard summer they go about their
business with the seal of silence on
their lips. When fall comes and the
crop is harvested they break the 81
lence, and then only to quarrel over the
division of the proceeds. When each
has succeeded in getting all that she
thinks possible. silence reigns again IN
