The shadow cast on the ground by the
outspreading limbs under a vertical sun
made a circle whose diameter was more
than one hundred yards. Decay ias-
tened upon the tree; then, some years
ago, an aXeman made a huge wound in
one side and the tree. being too old to
heal itself gradually rotted. Recently
someone stuffed the hollow with dry
leaves and brush and set it afire at
night The country for miles around
was illuminated. After the fire burned
out the remainder Of the giant oak was
cut down and carried away.
The highrOad over the hill where this
oak stood was a line Of travel across
tho peninsula from Delaware to Had
daway's ferry. on the bay side Of Tai
bot. whence there was a packet ferry
and mail route across the Chesapeake
to Annapolis.
The oak in those olden days was
sometimes called "The Quaker Tav-
ern." because the Delaware Friends. af-
ter having assembled at Camden, made
their pilgrimage by this route to the
Third Haven Meeting House-where
George Fox preached and Lady Balti-
more met William Penn-to attend the
Yearly Meetings long before there was

BEES IN A BATHROOM.
A Baltimore Family Supplied with
Honey by Big Working
Colony.

Honey bees of different times and
countries have chosen many peculiar
locations for their homes, but none
have shown themselves more domestic
in their choice than colony in north
west Baltimore, which has invaded a
dwelling and cannot be induced
to go elsewhere. This colony, which
has thousands of members, has pre-
empted for its own use a part of the
dwelling 1945 Harlem avenue, occupied
by Mr.. Z. j. Goldman, says the Balti-
more American.
When that gentleman moved into the
house, several years ago, he noticed
that large number of bees collected
around the windows of the bathroom,
on the second floor, and, on observing
them closely, he saw that they came out
and went into the opening in the house
wall through which the pipe from the
bathtub ran. He concluded that there
was hive somewhere in the vicinity
of the bathroom, and on cutting out
small section OF the flooring he found
in the vacant space under the floor. and
between the joists, on which the floor
ing rested what seemed to him a mil
lion bees, with Il large amount of honey.
Tubs and large pans were brought
into requisition to hold the honey. The
honey combs stood at right angles to
the joists. They were an inch in thick
ness and about ten inches square. The
squares of honeycomb set on edge side
by side, completely filled the space be-
tween the beams. To take them it was
only necessary to detach them at each
side from the beam and lift them out.
The members of the family had all the
honey they wanted and it was freely
distributed to eighbors and friends.
The "robbing" took place in the fall.
4 small amount was left for the bees
30 subsist upoI,. Mr.. Goldman thought
it would he better to transfer the bees
to hive and take them out of the
house. There were some disadvantages
connected with their presence in the
bathroom now, especially since the hole
had been bored in the floor to get at
them. The children could enter the
room and take the bees up from their
place by the double handful, and
smooth them along their laps with
their hands, but the workers of the
colony were opposed to certain mem
bers of the family, and stung them
whenever they got chance. That was
why Mr.. Goldman desired to put them
in hive in the yard
The hive was prepared, and an effort
was made to induce the bees to enter it,
but the effort was not a success. 1t
brought about schism in the colony,
however, and nearly all the bees went
away. During the blizzard last Febru-
airy the colony that remained beneath
the bathroom persisted, and Mr.. God
man thought he had gotten rid of the
bees.
About year after the exodus Of the
bees swarm that seemed larger than
the one that had gone away returned to
the Harlem avenue house and reoccu-
pied their old quarters. While enter
ing through tie aperture in the wall
the beees swaImed about the waste
pipe, and formed bundle about as
large as halt-bushel basket. They
have remained there ever since. supply

PhilnlelUhiu Ice Cream.

Philadelphia ice cream is made from
thick cream, half of which is scalded,
the sugar added and the remaining half
of the cream added cold. The vanilla
bean, which is invariably used, is added
to the hot cream. The bean is split in
to halves, the seeds scraped out and
mixed with the sugar, the sugar mixed
with the hot cream. This is allowed to
cool; then the cold cream is added and
the mixture frozen. One bean will be
sufficient for two quarts of cream, and
eight ounces of sugar are allowed to
each quart. The best confectioners do
not use machinery in making ice cream.
The process of freezing should be slow,
and the beating almost continuous.
This is done by hand with large
wooden paddle. No other method would
be truly NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Home

parting and part of the time during the
reception, a rich purple cloak, lined
with ermine. Among host of elegant
ly attired women, Miss Anthony was
the best dressed and the most distin-
guished in general appearance.
All sorts of tributes in prose and po-
etry were sent to Miss Anthony. Most
of these are too long to be printed, but
short poem by William Lloyd Gar
rison, one of Miss Anthony's strongest
friends for many years, expressed the
public sentiment sweetly and well.
Here it is:
The gibe and ridicule and social frown,
That through long years her faithful life
assailed,
Are dead and vanished; as queen now
hailed
Upon her reverend brow rests honor's
crown.
A faith that faced all adverse fortune
down,
A courage that in trial never failed,
A scorn of self that grievous weight en-
tailed,
Have blossomed into laurels of renown.
AS after days of bitter storm and blast,
The chilling wind becomes a breeze OF
balm,
Billows subside, and sea-tossed vessels
cast
Their anchors in the restful harbor calm
So this brave life has gained its haven
blest,
Bathed in the sunset glories " the west
Miss Anthony all but w.pt once or
twice during the recepti&n, especially
during the addresses, aid then again
when the children almost buried her in
roses. Tears came to her eyes-tears
of joy, of course-but she speedily put
herself under control and few noticed
the passing wave of sentiment.
She hardly attempted to say her
thanks. A few words that reached
every heart in the great silent hall.
She would have been kept busy all day,
indeed, if she had tried to make formal
acknowledgment of all presents and
well wishes.
