THE BEE AS A BAROMETER.
In All Well Regulated Colonies the
Queen Has StnT Of weather
Prophets.

Such should be the title Of these
lines, for whoever observes these in
teresting insects finds it easy enough
to foretell exactly the kind of weather
to be expected. At least that is the
opinion of many raisers of bees.
Generally the bee stays at home
when rain is in the air. When the sky
is simply dark and cloudy these busy
workers do not leave their dwelling
all at once. A few go out at first,
as though the queen had sent out mes
sengers to study the state of the at
mosphere. The greater number re-.
main on observation until the clouds
begin to dissipate, and it is only then
that the battalions entire rush out in
search of their nectar. A bee never
goes out in a fog, because it is well
aware that dampness and cold are two
fearsome, redoubtable enemies. We
do not mean, however, that the bee is
n meteorologist in the absolute sense
of the word. It's cleverness consists
in never being taken unawares, for il
possesses untiring vigilance. Often
one may observe the sudden entrance
of bees into the hive when a dense
cloud hides the sun, and even though
the rain is not in evidence.

FLIRTING WITH FACTS.
Illustrative Instances of the Wny
the Daily Press Gets Things
Twisted,

Some funny things concerning the
paper trade appear in the daily papers
now and then. For example, n New
York paper stated recently that the
ground wood pulp mill at Sault Ste.
Marie has ~ daily capacity of l25,o0o
tons, and that sulphite mill Of a
daily capacity of 10000 tons is very
near completion.
Another daily. paper tells of watches,
chains and all sorts of iewelry having
been picked out of the beating engine
of a mill at st. Joseph, Mich, and says
that once every week, when the beater
Is cleaned, the employees of the mill
plunge head-frst into it in search of
valuables, says the Paper Mill.
The impression is conveyed that a
handful of jewelry is fished out on
every occasion.
In the field of daily newspaper work
it is really wonderful that the mis-
takes made are so few. But such mis-
takes as these are not excusable.
A seconds consideration would
show their improbability, not to say
The impossibility, and so prevent the
dissemination of misinformation.

All doctors have tried to cure CA

Laugh Heartily and Live Long.

The discontented worries of mo-
rose person may very likely shorten
his days, and the general Justice of
natures arrangement provides that
his early departure should entail no
long regrets, says a British medical
journal. On the other hand, the man
who can laugh keeps his health. TO
be perfectly healthy laughter comes
often. Too commonly, though, as
childhood is left behind, the habit fails.
and half smile is the best that visits
the thought-lined mouth of a modern
man or woman. People become more
and more burdened with the accumua-
tions of knowledge and with the weigh
ing responsibilities of life, but they
should still spare time to laugh.

PRIMITIVE COOKING.
Crude Utensils Used by the Ancients
in the Preparation Of
Their Food.

Prof. S.. Trojanovio, of Belgrade,
has for several months been making
an investigation with the object of
ascertaining the exact manner in
which food was cooked in Europe in
primitive times, and he has now ar
rived at the conclusion that the gem
eral practive was to place the food
in a pot and to warm it by means
of red hot stones, reports a London
paper.
Such pot was usually made of the
bark of tree, and two or three
sticks ran across it for the purpose
of holding the stones in proper posi-
tion. When a meal was to be pre-
pared the pot was partially filed
with meat and water, and then in the
vacant places were put the red-hot
stones. The food was quickly warmed
in this way, and it was eaten before
it grew cold.
various parts of Servia primitive
pots Of this kind are still used. In
other parts of Europe, notably in
Macedonia, pots formed of the bark
of trees are also used, but the food In
them, instead of being warmed by
means of hot stones, is thorough,
cooked by a fire which is lighted
over them.
Prof. Trojanovio has made collec
tion of these pots, and he regards
| them as of peculiar interest ant
| value, since he is confident that il
old days about every nation in Europ,
cooked it's food in utensils of thi.
kind, though he thinks it quite prob
able that different method of heat
