SOME WAYS OF THE WORLD.
In the Words of Thackerav, Are We snobs

at Heart?
"Did you see Jones in Mrs. Tiptop's

waited in the lobby Of the Metropolitan
to see the people go by; "he sat there
through an entire act simply that every
one might see what smart company he
kept. | have no patience with such
snobbishness! Why is Mrs. Tiptop any
better than anybody else, | should like
to know? Nothing in the world would
induce me to make such an ass of my
self" At this juncture Mrs. Tiptop
comes up with her daughter and Brown
doffs his hat with empressment. Mrs.
Tiptop:
Ooh, ali! Mr.-er-might ask you to
see what has become of my footman2
He went to call my carriage ages ago."
Brown, obsequously:
"With the greatest pleasure"

cold, finds the carriage ana after con-
Quoting the women to it returns to R b.

II met Mrs. Tiptop tue other even

Curious she would have remem bered
me! That's one .hing | like about
really smart people; they have such
good manners, L suppose it would only
by polite for me to leave card there
now :
"Of course" said Robinson with a
grin. One of the funniest conversions
in this funny social world of ours is the
attitude of some of the scions of the old
Knickerbocker families toward the pow
ers that be in the society of today. From
openly expressed disapproval and self

well known quotation, decry, then cal
tivate and finally, if not embrace" at
least cringe to the plutOcracy to such
an extent that their friends who have
| followed their different phrases of be-
havor cannot but smile at the result.
: cit seems to me-" says Thackeray
that all English society is cursed by
the mammonical superstition, and that
we are sneaking and bowling and cring-
ing on the one hand, or ignoring and
scoring on the other, from the highest
to the lowest. Are we all sn0bs at heart,
then?"
The snOb test" the great critic goes
on to say, ''is how do we treat great
man? How regard a small one? How
do we compOrt ourselves in the pres
ence of his grace the duke, and how in
that of Smith the tradesman," and il
matters other than social. "Are we
quacks? Are we pOmpOus or conceited:

SUCCESS,

DR.. Hathaway g. Co. IS successes have become d
household word. Why? The answer is simple.
They are men with the courage of their cOnyic-
tons. 0rignators, not imitat0FS. Their methods,
like themselves, are in harmony with the people
and the times. New and up to date. Among the
legions of miscalled experts and legitimate
specialists they stand to-day with clean hands in
the front rank of respectable professionalism az
acknowledged originators of the new and now
widely adopted method of treating chronic and
complicated disorders.
Their reputation rests not on the cheap trans
parent platform of purchased testimony, but on
a long list of cured patients, visible local wit
nesses of their skill. AS physicians of business
and social status in the community they pledge
complete course of treatment and ultimate cure
by the Hathaway method" unabridged, and at
prices within the reach of all.
They are regular graduates in medicine from
some of the best medical colleges in the world,
and hold licenses to practice from different State
Boards of Health. They conduct their business
on a strictly professional basis, promising moth
ing but what they can fulfill and do not adopt
the many fake and fraudulent methods that many

BIGGEST BEE HIVE ON EARTH.

1t Is Natural Cavern in California cliff,
Bnzz of the Insects Can Be Heard Mile.
Did you ever see bee tree, with a
swarm Of bees around it? Well, mag
Nifty this about 10000 times and YOU
will have a slight idea of a natural
beehive in Mendicino county. Cali
fornia. 1t is a rift in the face of a
cliff, and tradition has it that there is
a large cave on the inside, where the
myriads of busy insects make their
homes.
This great natural curiosity is known
to residents of the adjacent country as
bee Rock" and they have grown to
look upon it as commonplace, when in
reality it is the only bee hive of the
kind in existence.
There is no danger of a person get
ting too near to this Datural beehive
without knowing it, for at all hours of
the day swarm of these insects hover
about several hundred feet IN all d.
rections. An incessant, maddening
buzz fills the air that can be heard an
eighth of mile and serves as a warn
ing not to venture too near. But men
do venture near after having first put
on suit of leather clothing, fastened
a mask Of wire screen around their hat
brim and lighted a good big torch.
These precautions are absolutely ne
cessary.
1t takes nerve to approach close to
| the opening in the rock and the ex-
perience is never to- be forgotten
one. Bees to the number Of millions
will light on the intruder, humming
fiendishly, and endeavor to sting him
to death. They form a perfect cloud
and the air is filled with a fetid smell
and fine dust that gets through the
wire screen and causes an irritation to
the eyes. The tiny insects really show
signs Of viciousness and fly into the
flames Of the torch in countless mum
bers, as though they intended to ex-
tinguish it. Round and round they fly
with a deafening buzz, and strong, in
deed, is the man who can stand the
onslaught of the tiny Toes for more
than a few minutes.
It's almost impossible to make out
| just where the entrance to this natur
al bee hive is.
But there is not much to see after
you get inside,-only large cave, will
the walls covered with wax and drieC
honey, and enough of the sweetness il
pools in the bottom to last big city
for several years. OF course the honey
was unfit for use on account of being
full of dead bees and ashes from the
fire. The men, however, did not lingel
in the cave any great length Of time, a:
il was foul smelling and sitting. Al
! though countless millions of bees must
have been destroyed on this occasion
the next summer they were as numer-
Gus as ever and just as vicious.
Indians of the nelghborhood say that
in the "good old days" the bad men OF
! their tribe were bound hand and foot
and were carried to within a short dis
tan9e of the bee hive by men wrapped
| in blankets. There the helpless Great
ures were left to suffer the agony OF
| being stung to dOath.
