All Doctors have tried to cure Catarrh

cure, while pastes and ointments cannot
reach the disease. An old and expert

fected Treatment which, when faithful

BarOmetric Bees.

Whoever observes these interesting
insects finds it easy enough to foretell
exactly the kind Of weather to be ex-
pected. At least this 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 first. as though
the queen had sent out messengers to
study the state of the atmosphere. The
greater number remain on observation
until the clouds begin to dissipate, and
IL is only then that the battaliOns en-
tire rush out in search of their nectar.
A bee never goes out in a fog, because
it is we'll aware that dampness and
cold are two fearsOme, redoubtable
enemies We do not mean. however,
that the bee is meteorological in the
absolute sense of the word. Its clever
ness consists in never being taken I'M
awares, for it possesses untiring vigil
lance. Often one may observe the sud-
den entrance of bees into the hive
when a dense cloud hides the sun and
even though the rain is not in evidence.
