4 Tale of Three Brothers.

Three brothers, all rich, live to-
gether in a fine old home not thou
sand miles from Frankford. They
are bachelors, and probably none of
them will ever marry, for the young
est will soon be sixty years old. IL
is singular how they live. The two
younger ones are inseparable COM
panions, and the Oldest one does no5
speak to either of them. Years ago
the quarrel happened--no one knows
why--and though their enmity must
have burned itself out long ago, the
habit of not speaking has grown too
strong for them, and will no doub.
continue, like their habit Of bachelor
hood, till the end. There is a story
TO prove this assertion The oldest
brother once lay very i'll. 1t was
thought that he would die, and his
fraternal enemies came in for the final
reconciliation. A moving scene fol-
lowed. They shook hands, wept,
each blamed only himself, and all was
forgiven and forgotten. But at the
end the sick man said coldly, in his
weak voice: "This don't count, yen
know, if get WE'LL" "Oh, that was
understood" the others answered
"We insisted on that before we would
consent to come in" The head en-
the pillow nodded; the weak voice
said: Goodbye, boys" and a fcrt-
night later tho owner of those two
properties was downstairs, dining
heartily, pointing, in the old way, to
the bread or the water instead of ask
ing for them, and when signs would
not avail, getting up and helping him

long, long silence that had been re.
sumed once more. Philadelphia Req

BEES IN A BATHROOM.

Honey bees of different times and
countries have chosen many peculiar
locations for their homes, but none
nave shown themselves more domestic
in their choice than colony in north
west Baltimore, which has invaded q
dwelling-h house, and cannot be induced
10 go elsewhere. This colony, which
has thousands OF members, has pre-
empted for its own use a part of the
dwelling 1945 Harlem avenue, occu-
pied by Mr.. q. J. Goldman,
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 u hive somewhere in
the vicinity of the bathroom, and on
cutting out a small section of the floor.
ing he found in the vacant space I'M.
der the floor, and between the joists,
on which the flooring rested, what
seemed to him million bees, with o
large amount of honey.
Tubs and large pans we're brought
into requisition TO hold the honey.
The honey combs stood at right angles
to the ioists. They were an inch in
thickness and about ten inches square.
The squares of Ehoneycomb, set on
edge side by side, completely filed
the space between the beans. 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 neigh
bors and friends.
The "robbing" took place in the
fall. A small amount was left for the
bees to subsist upon. Mr.. Goldman
thought it would be better to transfer
the bees TO a hive and take them out
Of the house. There were some dis.
advantages connected with their pres
ence 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
members CT the family, and stung
them whenever they got q chance.
That was why Mr.. Goodman desired
to put them in n hive in the yard.
The hive was prepared, and en- effort
was made TO induce the bees to enter
it, but the effort was rot success.
1t brought about schism in the
colony, however, and nearly all the
bees went away. During the blizzard
last February the colony that remained
beneath the bathroom perished, end
Mr.. Goldman thought he had gotten
rid Of the bees.
About year after the exodus Of
the bees a swarm that seemed larger
than the one that had gone away re.
turned TO the Harlem avenue house
and reoccupied their old quarters.
While entering through the aperture
in the wall the bees swarmed about
the waste pipe, and formed bundle
about as large as a half-bushel basket.
They have remained there ever since,
supplying tho family with honey at
intervals. Baltimore American.

ter is that the older Germans like to
keep to the old fashion of eating an
enormous meal at midday and then
taking nap afterward on sofa, in
stead of eating the principal meal in
the evening Little business is dono
in the carly part of the afternoon in
German towns, because every one is
in state of torpor, and the older
men have no wish to break with the
good old habit. The younger men,
on the contrary, wish to work steadily
all through the day, only taking a
light luncheon in the English fashion.
Germanys commercial prosperity
has been won by initiating England
in most things, and consequently it is
safe to predict that luncheon will in
time replace the heavy midday meal.

the making of Indian relics. A man
who lives in thriving town not far

to eastern tourists as curiosities. He
