Don't Fret.
It is wonderful to think how 9,

~ it is to forget Since the cold
snap set in, it is very common to
hear men say: II never saw such
awful weather this time Of year, "
when intact, this has been one OF
the most delightful winters ever
experienced in Iowa for yers. The
weather has been warm and very
pleasant up to February 1st, and
now, just because a light fall OF
"the beautiful" has covered the
earth with q white mantle, many
feel awfully discouraged. If such
grumblers we're up in Alaska and
had such weather. how happy they
would be. Here we are grumbling
at the cold weather, and up there
men are telling their neighbors Of
the beautiful winter weather down
in Iowa. The truth is men are
never satisfied. It is too hot or
too cold. too wet or too dry, and
we are inolind to think that it we
we're transplanted to ''that beauti-
full land beyond we would soon
be grumbling about hard times OF
bad weather, and be looking for a
better country to move to. We
are never Satisfied, and perhaps
never will be, and in eth fiusl wind
up. it is possible that many of us
will be willing to exchange our 10.
cation for one in a colder climate.
We forget that q fall Of snow is
agreat air purifier, and the country
is always better for it's fall.
Another thing is to be consid-
cred, and that is. it's q great fun
producer. Think Of the fun coast
ing on the hill side; when with
your little rosy checked bright eyec
little darling you went flying down
the hill, and then pulled the sled
up the hill again, oh, it is fun
and then the real sleighride with 6
pretty girl by your side, all snug
gled up in rugs and muffs, and
paying toll at the croesing of eve.
~ bridge. As for US we admit We
would rather'tsks our sleigh-ride
in the parlor by . bright fire, and
it it is necessary, in order to col
lect toll, that our feet should gel
cold, provide q tub Of cold water
in which to place our feet, while
We can think we are gliding over
the prairie at q $40 rate, collec-
ling toll at the crossing Of every
bridge, locating the bridges to suit
ourselves, but'it must be done on
~ when the snow covers the earth
to give it the proper effect. Its
only the company that gives the
fasination. and the same result
can be reached by the tub, warm
fire and pretty girl in the parler.
Iowa is all COX" Her we have
all kinds of climate, but don't for
get that we will always have seed
time and harvest, sun shine and
rain, and the farmer who leaves
Iowa expecting to..fnd a better
agricultural land will miss the
mark. Stick to lowe like brick
dust to bar Of soap and you will
grow rich. prosperous and happy.

WINGS OF THE HONEYBEE,
A Microscopic View of One of Ma
lures Wonderful Schemes

Microscopic View of One of Ma
lures Wonderful Schemes.
At a meeting of the New York Mi
croscopical society the president of the
organization exhibited, besides other
things, the honeybee's wing, showing
the booklets by means of which the
lower of the two wings of the bee is
Joined to the upper wing in flying, thus
making them practically single wing.
The upper Of the two wings is about
half an inch in length, the lower little
shorter. The wings come together
where they are Joined to the body;
they are otherwise separate. When the
bee goes into it's hive, it folds it's wings
together, one leaf over the other, so
that they will take up less room. When
it goes abroad, it spreads it's wings and
couples them together with the hooks.
When looked at under the microscope,
the upper edge of the lower wing is
seen to be REINFORCED as though it had
an extra plate or rib stretched along
there, and to this rib, spaced apart at
regular intervals, though they are all
contained within a total space of little
more than a quarter of an inch, there
are attached 10 or 20 tiny, bony hooks.
There is a little thickening at the base
of each hook, where nature has
strengthened it, and one is inclined to
regard the hooks as inset separately
| and to look for the rivets wherewith
they were secured to the plate or rib
from which they spring.
The lower edge of the upper wing, as
looked at under the microscope, is seen
to be curled up into fange or trough.
When the bee comes out of the hive, it
hooks the hooks on the upper edge of
the lower wing into that fiange or trough
at the lower edge of the upper wing
and so makes the two wings practical
