A Tribe N~earsighted.

At Del's on saturday night a select CO.
tcrie Of middle aged men were laughing
over an incident that occurred the week
before at the home of a mutual friend. A
young swell of excellent stock truly, but
probably the last OF his line, the stock hav-
ing exhausted itself in him, called one
afternoon on the daughter of tho house,
with whom he was much smitten.

"Miss Clara is not at home, was the re-
ply, and the door was slammed I'm tho
youths face. But Miss Clara happened to
be- looking out of the window, and, seeing
her swain turning away, she ran down
stairs, opened the door and invited him TO
enter, @apologizing for the butler. A few
days uftcrward the boy met Miss Clara's
fathcr, who is a man of few words, and
they generally are rough.
"Dcuccd impcrtiucut man you have at

The BuMeLEBEs
lie Does Not Fear the Cold AMI IL Found
Even In the Arctic Region.

Even In the Arctic Region.
In st. Nicholas there is an article on
"The Bumblebcc," written by Barney
Hoskin Standisb. Mr.. Standish says:
This chunky, hairy, noisy fellow is king
Of the cold. He stays with us summer
and winter and is said To- prefer the arctic
region 10 the tropics. ! do not doubt this,
for he will sleep out Of doors any cold
night Of spring or fall without asking for
an extra blanket. Indeed, he is homeless
for nine or ten months Of the year, lodg-
ing wherever night oycrtakes him, on a
blossom, a leaf and even upon the ground.
If he has any choice In the matter l think
he prefers the thistle, where the spincs are
thickest. Perhaps he is aware that these
stingers will guiRd him from the skunk
and the snake while his own are in a body
stiifened by cold and drowsy with sleep.
There are three kinds Of bumblebees
reared in a ncst-qucens, drones and work
ers, The queens alone survive the winter.
They apparently spend the first few weeks
of spring waiting for red clover TO bloom,
the first blossom of which is the signal for
nest building. Before this they visit the
willows, hum q soft bass about the hlacs,
thrust their long tongues into the honey
suckles and grow fat at the ~exhaustless
honey jars of the water-leaf, and then tho
play day ends and labor begins.
Nest building with them does not mean
nest construction. One bee alone could
not well do that. Besides she is in "a big,
bustling hurry now. She has actually seoD
II clover blossom. Out and In among the
dead, matted grasses of last years growth
she goes, hunting perhaps for the aban
dOned nest of a field mouse. 1t will be re-
membered that these little animals build
upon the surface of the ground soft nests
of grasses, in which they winter. From
these they have runways leading in differ
ent directions. The bee goes down into
the dead grass, scrambling on as best she
may, until she finds Que of these runways,
following it up to the nest. If it is occU-
pied, she goes elsewhere; If not, the mouse
nest straightway becomes a bees nest and
the little creature begins her preparations
for housekeeping,
She now collects a mass Of pollen in
which to deposit an egg. As the egg
matches and the baby bee grows she keeps
this mass moistened with honey, and he
helps himself, eating out a cavity larger
han a white bean. In this he spins a ON
plete cocoon. When this is done, he takes
n long nap, in which he changes from a
grub into n bumblebce, with wings and
legs. Meantime the parent remove the
thin coating of pollen from the upper half
Of the cocoon and apparently spreads a
yellow secretion or yarnish upon it, as if
to keep out moisture. She is also now
busy collecting more pollen and laying
eggs in it and constructing u rude cell or
two in which to place honey, as if for a
rainy day. The first bees that hatch are
worker bees, and at this time are downy,
pale and babylike in appearance and be-
havior. In later summer queens and
drones are raised.
