A Matter of Temperaturc,

The little ones mother had said,
"Now, doctor, if there is any rise of
temperature"-she was great on tenn

you at once. AS you know, have a
clinical thermometer and can take the
temperature myself without troubling
you to come in for the purpose" Just

Scarcely waiting to put on my hat,
rushed round to the house of my little
patient and discovered the whole fam
lily assembled in the sickroom awaiting
the end of poor little Marjory, the
mother wringing her hands in agony
and crying dreadfully.
"What's the temperature now" al
most shouted in my agitation.
"Oh." sobbed the mother, 81 haven't
dared to look since! My poor darling.
1t was 1OS, and they say that 105 is al

On the Menu In Chile.

For several days | noticed the word
"panqueque" upon the bill of fare at
the hotel and did not know what it
was. There is brand of wine from
one of the Gillian vineyards with that
name, and supposed it was perhaps
the same thing referred to, although
it was difficult to understand why it
should appear among the desserts on
the menu at the dinner table and on
the bills Of fare for breakfast. The
best way to find out about such things
is to try them, and the next morning.

head waiter to the discovery. and he
seemed quite astonished. He could
speak English we'll and claimed to be

Therefore he did not see anything UNI

John Bull and the Lion

What could be more absurd than the

Of two figures, either burly farmer or
a lion. The British lion gets some lit
tie support from heraldry, and the M
tional vanity is iattered by the anal
ogy of our powers to those Of the king
Of beasts. But otherwise how little APP
preparedness there is IN representing
us by an animal which most English
men have only seen in the degrading
captivity of a menagcrie, which has

Considering also the chronically de-
pressed state of British agriculture. it
seems an ironical thing that the Brit
ish nation should be typitied by farm

merchant or a seaman, there would be
some appropriateness, but the stout

VIII bee, Freeze In Winter,

Discussing the question "Will Bees
Freeze In Winter?" in the light of last
years experiences, a. ii. Duff has said
in substance in Farm. Field and Fire
side: Bees that are in proper condition
in the hives will not freeze. otherwise
they will. If colony of bees have
ample stores of honey and the honey
so situated that they can partake of it
as they need it, they will not freeze.
Hungry bees will freeze, and losses
largely occur from starvation. Bees
starve with plenty Of honey in the
hive This is true from the fact that
during a long spell of continued cold
weather owing to the intense cold the
cluster of bees in the hive is unable to
but few inches, to where the honey is
located. Thus they starve and then
freeze with plenty of food in sight.
4 good winter hive for bees is long
deep one that admits of all the surplus
honey being stored directly above the
bees. and hive of this kind will VIM
ter bees without freezing from the fact
mat tllc bees nave ACCESS 10 tlle money
at all times, for the heat of the cluster
naturally rising upward the bees can
ascend with it and thus readily reach
the honey directly above them. To
remedy this defect of the modern hive,
which is shallow, the chaff hive is
brought into use. BY thus placing
heavy packing around the bees their
natural heat Is retained to such extent
that only in very severe cold weather
are they unable to reach their stores.
