THE CHANcELEss PLAYS.

I've wandered to the theater, I've been to zee thu
show;
I've listened to the same old jokes we heard long
years ago
The villain died the same old way-his death wai
hard and slow
Tie last act saw his finish, Tom, like twenty years
ago!
The heroine, she suffered, Tom; you should have
heard her weep;
Her hair was golden in its hue. for peroxide II
cheap.
She found the missing WILL though. Tom; she al.
ways did, you know,
When we went to the theater some twenty years
ago.
The jokes were just the same ones, Tom, about
the main-law,
Likewise the goat, the stovepipe and the female
suffrage jaw,
And, yes, they sprung the one about the good old
baldhead row;
It sounded as it used to, Tom, some twenty year,
ago.
Tie hero struts about the stage and hoarsely whis.
see It all!' And then tn. crafty villain mutters
"Bah!"
The play is Just the same. dear Tom; the plot il.
thickened so,
1t looks the same as when We went some twenty
years ago.
The soubrette is the same, old boy; she has the
same old wink.
Her cheeks are just as radiant; they have the
same soft pink.
She's billed as Little Tottie now, and, say, she
doesn't show
Her age as much Is when she played some twenty
years ago.
The songs are full Of "mother, dears," the star
takes all the STAGE
The jokes and other dialogue show very little
age.
But youngest Of the lot, dear Tom, the soubrettes
cheeks still glow
As pinkly as they used to do some twenty years
ago.

RANGE OF THE HONEY BEE.
How the Distance Travelled by the Bces
Can he Determined.

The range of the honey bee Is but
little understood by the MASSES, many
surprising that bees go for miles in
quest Of nectar, while others think
that they go only Il short distance. Ii
may be curious to many to understand
how any one can tell how far the bees
may fly. but this Is simple when I'M
derstOod. Years ago. when the Italian
bees were first introduced In the Unit
ed States, these bees. having marks
different to the common bees already
here. they We're very easily distin-
guished. and after any bee keeper had
obtained the Italian bees they could be
observed and their range easily no.
ticed. II bloom is plentiful close where
the bees are located they will not go
very far. perhaps IL mile in range. but
II bloom is scarce they may 20 five
miles. Usually about three miles Is
as far as they may go protitably.
Bees have been known to go as far
as eight miles in ii straight line, cross
ing IL body of water that distance to
land. 1t is wonderful how the little
honey bee can go 80 far from its home
and ever find it's way back to its own
particular hive. If, while the little bee
is out of it's home or hive, the hiv.
should be moved some ten to twenty
feet, according to the surroundings.
when 1t came back to where Its home
was first located 1t would he liopelessly
lost. If it's home was In an open space
with no other objects close. it might
find Its way home, but even should the
hive be moved only few feet. many
of the bees would get lost.
So to move Il hive. II done In the win
ter time, it would be all right. but II
in the summer time 1t should be done
after dark, or when the bees are not

so that the bees In coming out may

the color of bloom. as IL they are at

WHY 90 WE WAlT7

Why do we wait till ears are deaf
Before we speak our kindly word.
And only utter loving praise
When not whisper can be heard!
Why do we wait till hands are laid
Close folded, pulseless, ere we place
Within them roses sweet and rare.
And lilies in their tawless grace!
Why do we wait till eyes are sealed
TO light AMI love in deaths deep
trance
Dear. wIstful eypsbefore we bend
Above them witt, impassioned glance!
Why do we wait till hearts are still
To tell them all the love in ours,
And give them such late need Of praise,
And lay above them fragrant flowers!
How oft we. careless wait till ines
Sweet opportunities are past,
And break our "alnbaster box
or ointment" at the very last.
o! let MS heed the living friend
Who walks with us like common
ways.
Watching our eyes for look of love,
And hungering for a word OF praise!

RuSSIA'S GREAT FEAT.

The most interesting portion OF Rus

over 1900 square miles, and is more
than twice as wide AS the English chan
