THE AMERICAN GIRLS ATTRAC,
TIONS.

The Duke Of Manchester, who prac-
tises what he breaches, says that for
eign noblemen marry American girls
because they are beautiful, witty,
graceful, high-bred, original, innocent,
audaciOus, intellectual and practical.
That is to say, because they are the
sum of all the virtues. But isn't it
odd that practically all Of the girls
sought by these foreign gentry are
rich? There are dead loads of
American girls who have all the quail
ties enumerated by the big duke, and
yet do not contract foreign alliances.
With few exceptions, foreign nOblemen
are attracted only to rich American
girls. OF course, 1t may be only a
coincidence, but 1t suggests all sorts
of idle speculatlons.-St. Louis Post.

BLIND FRIEND or THE BEES.
Their Confidence In Him Taught Him
MANY of Their Secrets.

Their Confidence In Him Taught Him
Many of Their Secrets.
The world owes not little Of its
knowledge to men and women who have
been totally hind. Francis Huber, the
Swiss naturalist, born at Geneva in 400,
is a noteworthy example Of what may
be done by a person without eyes.
Through study and i'll health he lost his
sight in his seventeenth year, and, being
possessed of enough means to live com
fortably, he retired to small town in
his native land and set to work to fathom
bee life.
There were many hive mysteries which
naturalists had been unable to solve up
to that time, mysteries so deep and elu-
sive that there seemed but slight chance
of a blind man unraveling them. But
Huber had two assistants who used their
eyes for him, his wife and servant
named Francis Burnens. With their in
teIIigent help. he conducted long series
Of experiments that unfolded a wonderful
community and system among the little
honey gatherers.
HIS discovery Of the means by which
they Ventilated their hives was espe-
cially ingenious. 1t stood To reason that
a multitude of insects living in a dwell
ing with one small door must have some
way of renewing the air which they
breathed. He first proved that bees
would suffocate in corked bottle. Then
casting about for solution of the ven
tilation problem he found that a num-
Der of insects were always busily vibrat-
ing their wings at the hive entrance. Ere
quently there were as many as ~ post
ed there at once. and they seemed to
chunge guard regularly and keep up the
work night and day. Some stood out
side facing the door and more inside fac
ing outward. By studying the mechan-
ism of their wings he found that they
were so formed as to maintain constant
circulation. bad air being forced out and
fresh. life giving oxygen forced into ev-
cry Granny of their dwelling.
The origin Of wax was another mooted
point among bee students. Some nat
uralists thought that the insects gathered
their wax from plants, while others main
tanned that it was secretion from the
pollen which they ate, being disgorged
from the bees mouth as fast as needed
in its building.
Huber first found that bees settling
in new hives went to making comb at
once, though they brought home no pol
len. while the bees in old hives gathered
pollen abundantly. though they built no
cells. So he put swarm into the new
hive, made them prisoners with a net
ting over the entrance and fed them
honey alone with drinking water. With
In q day they had begun making comb,
and when the comb was removed they
quickly replaced it. This experiment was
kept up long enough to exhaust any sup
ply of wax that the insects may have
carried from their old home. When fed
upon fruit and farina, they made no
comb at all, though the food kept them
healthy and happy for more thnn week.
Further experiments and close watching
by Mrs. Huber and Burnens proved that
the wax came from between the rings of
the bees abdomen.-Chicago Record.

A dealer in pictures who makes it his
business to find as many new painters
as possible, both in this country and
abroad, was asked in regard to his
methods of selecting pictures to buy.
He was very frank in his talk. and one
thing which he said is shrewd enough
to be worth quoting.
"Of course" he said, with my expe-
rience 1 am able to Judge whether
there is promise in q painters work.
but never buy with any idea of pat
ting the painter on my list until have

paint from the heart was not the one
