King. Lons-sousht Photograph.

After waiting about 20 years the
king has come into possession of pho
tograph for which he has sought ever
since his marriage to Queen Alexan-
dria. It is photograph of the queen
herself as she was just before the king
first met her. It is said that for some
reason only one COPY remained unde-
stroyed, and this could not be traced
until 20 years ago, when it was acct
dentally seen by high parsonage at
court in the album of well-known So
ciety lady. The latter on being ap-
preached was not disposed to part with
the prize even TO the king, who, when
turning over the album which con-
tanned it from time to time, used jok-
ingly to refer to it as ''my portrait y
Since he assembled the throne it is UNI

GOVERNMENT lighthouses.
Extensive Establtshmentsi i'm Arkan.
sas That Az Owned by
Uncle Sam.

Few persons know that the United
States government derives an income
from some of the largest bathing es-
Establishments in America, if not in the
world. The hot springs of Arkansas,
which have been resort for invalids
for many years, are owned by Uncle
Sam and he exacts a payment of $50
tub for the use of the indicated wa
ter. As there are 534 tubs, the springs
of $4,000 year, says the Washington
Times.
According to tradition the hot
springs of Arkansas are the original
fountain of youth of the Ponce de
Leon and De Soto. The Indians of
Florida told them that it was toward
the setting sun and they set out to find
it.
There. is every evidence in history
and tradition that De Soto was there.
The earliest Indian legends have asso-
ciated with them the idea of the cura-
tive virtues of these waters. They
surround every Swallowed valley,
mountain nook and rocky cavern with
a halo of romance that makes the
''Vale of Vapors'' doubly interesting.
The various hot springs, which are
said to number 70, issuing from
the west side and the base of Hot
Springs mountain and which are now
obscured from view, have been con-
verged in many instances from several
different issues into the outlet by de-
velopment work done on the reserva-
ton under the supervision of the vari-
Gus superintendent.
These springs vary in temperature,
the hottest being ISL degrees. The
flow of practically all of them is con-
slant. The basis of estimate of the
maximum supply for each tub daily is
1000 gallons, which, at present, il
used to the full capacity, would re
quire $4,000 gallons. A conservative
estimate of the supply at present un-
der control is 100000 gallons daily. In
addition to the selling of the water to
hotels and sanitariums, the govern
ment maintains a free bathhouse for
the INDECENT. Hot Springs has done
a rushing business in the year just
ended. The number of visitors is es-
timated at $4,000, which is the greatest
in its history.

THE USEFUL DATE PALM.
Made to Serve Some
Purpose,

A traveller in Arabia never ceases to
wonder at the utility of the date palm.
The author of recent book of Ara
bian travel says that the pistils of the
| date blossom contain fine curly fiber,
which is beaten out and used in all
eastern baths as sponge for soaping
the body. At tie extremity of the
trunk is a terminal bud containing a
whitish substance resembling an al
mond in consistency and taste, but a
hundred times as large. This is a
great table delicacy, says the Detroit
Free Press.
There are said to be over 100 vari-
cites of date palm, all distinguished
by their fruit, and the Ara BIS say that
ga good housewife may furnish her
husband every day for a month with q
dish of dates differently prepared"
Dates form the staple food for the
Arabs in a large part of Arabia and
are servedin some form at every meal.
Sirup and vinegar are made from old
dates, and by those who disregard the
Koran even a kind of brandy. The
date pit is ground up and fed to cows
and sheep, SO that nothing of the pre-
cious fruit may be lost. Whole pits
are used as beads and counters for
the Arab children in their games on
the desert sand.
The branches or palms are stripped
of their leaves and used like rat
tan for the making of beds, tables.
chairs, cradles, bird cages, boats, etc.
The leaves are made into baskets, fans
and string, and the best of the outer
trunk forms excellent fiber for rope
of many sizes and qualities.
The wood of the trunk, although
light and porous, is much used in
bridge building and architecture and
is quite durable.
In short, when date palm is cut
down there is not particle of it that
is wasted. This tree is the "poor-
house" and asylum for all Ara ia;
without it millions would have neither
food nor shelter. One-half of the pop
uIation of Mesopotamia lives in date
mat dwellings.

THE HONEYBEE.
It's Curious Jaws and Its Wonderful
Little Tongue

with the closest scrutiny II becomes
evident that the bee does not, like
other creatures. house its tongue in its
mouth, but neatly folds it back beneath
its head. Bumblebees. when disturb
ed. have way of threatening with
their jaws. while the honeybee has
the more direct method of settling in
truders with her sting.
The jaws of the bee are very credit
able organs and can give quite for
midable nip. Catch n bee I'm net and
see how viclously It will bite at the
meshes, working its jaws sideways in
stead of up and down.
We call this wonderful implement OF
the bee a tongue, but in reality 1t is
more than this. for the whole arrange
meut consists Of two slender iilaments
called maNlllU. the under lip aud the

An Undesirable Bonrder.

Some time ago the keeper of n board
ing house retired from business after

potency in the course of about 20 years.
During that period her house became
well known in the city and among the
women In her own business. She new
er realized how well known II was I'M
Ill she set out TO find place TO live in
herself.
She applied first at the house kept by
a woman nearly as well known as her
self only TO learn that there was no
room for her. Ii was not until she had
been through the same experience sew
eral times that she came TO understand
that she was not wanted in the estab-
lishments of her former rivals. Her
reputation for keeping fine house was
too much for the other women, who
did not want TO submit TO the scrutiny
of "A former boarding house keeper who
had made n reputation and n fortune in
