streets and public buildings. Their as
poets constantly and strongly vary, &C.
cording TO the course of the sun. Lights
and shades at 10 in the forenoon are
wholly different from what they will
be at in the afternoon. The Floren-

beautiful faces. But one has only to

Loftiness is al attribute Of Florentine

England for portals. One feels them to
be great facts in their way.

Florence is not what it was in the

A 10 CENT QUEEN.
One Who Is Shipped All over the World
In Eox.

Imagine queen travelling around the
world on 10 cents! 1t seems preposter-
Gus, and yet it is a fact There is GER
tain man, according TO the st. Louis Re-
public, who will do this for any one
who will send him an order. whether it
comes from England, China or any 9th
er foreign country, and he says;
Il have frequent demands from all
parts of the world. You see, send
these queens as follows: You will notice
that there are two little circular apart
ments in this royal carriage, and he
produced little wooden box, lone in
which the queen is kept and the other
for her suit. The little plug in the cen
ter of the box is solidified, candied
honey, which will furnish food to the
regal party until they arrive at their
destination.
1.-The compartments are covered with
a fine wire gauze to prevent the escape
of the insects.
"This large enc in the first cOmpart-
ment, the one with the deliCately shaped,
long body and beautiful markings, is an
Italian queen bee, and she is valued at
$40. have queens valued all the way
from 50 to $25.
1.-The others, in the second compart-
ment, are the suit or worker bees, that
will accompany her on the trip, not only
for company, but also for the heat they
will produce to keep her comfortable ON
the stormy voyage over the great, cold
seas.
"After we have the bees safely stow
ed away in their proper compartments,
we switch the little lid around and
fasten it with tiny screw at the ends,
and on its top surface the address of the
consignee is written, the stamp is affix-
ed, and away goes her majesty, queen
sold into slavery for the trifling sum Of
$40 and sent to her destination on 10
cent stamp.
"Bee culture has grown so rapidly in
| the United States that there are few
farmers now who have not a substantial
apiary and who do not net handsome
income each year from the honey the
bees yield, and besides the farmers there
are thousands of gentlemen and ladies
who are apiarists purely from the fas
cination the hobby affords. "

Misunderstanding.

When and how to shake hands is a
question which is now being discussed
by certain English papers. In England
they do not, as rule. shake hands
when meeting an acquaintance, only
when meeting Il friend, and one, too,
who is intimately known. Upon being
introduced to stranger tho English
offer their hands. In America, says
Vogue. it is different. individuals here
and there, to be sure, consider it bad
form to shake hands with one another
when an introdu ton is made, but, as
rule, it is done. More particularly is
this the case with men. Handshakiug
is demonstration of friendly feeling,
and it needs to DO intelligently applied;
