Some very interesting and amusing
experiments have been made in en-.
deavoring TO determine the mature of
the instructive faculty that impels the
mason bees to build their curious
structures. Mason bees fashion nests
Of very solid masonry. Chalicodoma
muraria is solitary in her habits she
constructs her habitation alone and
unaided, usually selecting a bowlder
Of considerable size as a solid basis
upon which to build an adobe edifice
Of a suitable sort Of earth moistened
with her own saliva. When this is
about an inch high she proceeds to fill
1t about half full of honey and Of
pollen; lays an egg on II, and closes
1t over with roof of cement. After
eight or nine of these cells have been
completed she adds an additional pro.
lection, thick layer Of mortar placed
over the entire construction,
a cell in an early stage Of constuc-
ton was taken away, and i'm place Of
1t was substituted one already built
and stored with honey and pollen. One

pened, adding mortar to the edges Of
the cell and honey, which Immediately
ran out leaving the nest empty This
experiment was repeated many times
with differences of details, but none
in the results. AS It might possibly be
coniectured that the bee had failed
to notice the injury cell was selected
which had but very little honey in
1t, a large hole was made in this,
which the bee returning with the honey
certainly noticed, for she went down
to the bottom of her cell, and not only
examined the aperture carefully, but
felt its edges with her antcnnae and
pushed them through It. Did she then,
as might naturally he supposed, stop
it up? Not at all. TO do so would be
to prove false to all the traditions of
her race--be a departure from the i'm
memorial usages Of the Chalicodom-
ians, and introduce new and dis
turbing element into the ancient and
honorable order Of mason bees.
However this Is, the poor, devoted
creature went on emptying into this
vessel load after load Of honey, which,
as matter Of course, escaped at the
bottom as fast as she emptied 1t at the
top, All Of one long, hot summer af-
ternoon did she labor mt this bootless
task, and began again next morning.
At last, when, regardless Of the result,
she had performed her prescribed duty
in the prescribed manner, made the
customary amount Of Journeys and
supplied the usual amount of honey,
she conscientiously laid her egg and
closed up the empty cell.
1t is quite common to speak of the
intelligence of insects, but 1t really
seems, in the light Of recent scientific
Investigations, almost as correct to

pumpkin raised on Long Island was

pose that the mason bee, glad to be
saved so much labor, would simply
supply the necessary egg and seal up
the cell. But no, indeed! the regular,
ancient and established custom in the
Chalicodoma order Of procedure is far
too important to be disturbed by a
little thing like this; the bee calmly
goes on building until the cell is built
up as much as a third more than the
proper height; then, although n suf-
iiciency of provision for the larvae
had been already supplied, she wastes
labor in adding thereunto u second
and a supererogatiye store Of food
Another experiment consisted Of
piercing a hole In the cell below the
part where the bee had been working,
In this case the bee is OF the same
genus, but of different species from
that lust described; It is the Chalico-
donna pyrenaica. This species builds
cells as does the other, but fills them
with honey as she goes on, raising the
walls bit, then going on several ex
petitions for honey, then building VI
the walls again, and so on until thu

A cell was chosen which was almos
completed, and while the bee was ava,

ties. Here are some excellent ways
Of making it serve as an appetite
sharpener."
Cream Toast-Tasty cream toast can
be quickly prepared by taking a dozen
or more crisp slices and dipping each
into hot milk or hot water, and pack
ing them closely together to moisten
them through. Then take a sufficient
quantity of cream or new milk to cover
the whole nicely; boil thicken with n
little cream or cornstarch, favor with
a little salt and pour over the mass
Of toast, or dish over separate slices
laid in saucers, as preferred,

Cream Toast With Poached Eggs
| Prepare a toast rs above, lay each
slice neatly in n saucer before adding
the cream dressing, and then finish
with a delicately-po ached egg. Eggs
broken into separate sauce dishes are
dcllcately set, will present a more APP
petizng appearance than those pre-.
pared by being dropped in water and
every nurse knows that a great deal
depends upon pleasing the eye Of the
patient as. well as his palate.

Prune Toast-Take sweet California
prunes, cook them until tender, rub
through a colander, making them into
q mass. In cooking prunes allow three
quarts Of water for every quart Of
prunes after they are stoned, Prepare
the toast as in previous recipes, lay
each slice in n saucer and put two or
three tablespoonfuls OF the prepared
prunes over it. Dried apricots may be
used n place Of prunes in the same
general preparation, and will be pre-
ferrcd by many
Tomato ToRst--stew and strain
either fresh Or canned tomatoes;
thclScn with a little fiour, season with
salt, moisten the toast, and then pour
the tomatoes over It.
Celery Toast-Take the tender and
white portions Of celery and simmer
IN very little water until telder SO
that it win fall to pieces. Twenty or
thirty minutes win be required for
cooking. Add a little sweet creaG1i

The Republicans have nominated a
strong man for the head Of their ticket.
W. J. Bailey will bear close inspection.
He Is familiar with affairs Of state and
nation and his neighbors upon the farm
say that he is one of the gentlest of
men. He can make a good speech: is
a hard worker; a man with a clean
record and spotless integrity.
The ticket has two weak spots: Kelly,
the nominee for state treasurer. has
been shown by the official and I'M
animous report of the board Of county
commissioners attested by the county
clerk to be united for an office of
trust. Friends OF Mr.. Kelly say he is
a good fellow, needs sympathy and
that the ills complained of transpired
ten years ago. When any party puts
into candidacy such a man for the Of
fee which handles the money of the
state of Kansas it must be in hard
straits or some of the leaders must have
heavy political or personal debts UNI
paid.
The other weak spot in the ticket is
the nominee for superintendent OF IN

Luling seems to be another good fellow

Cain generally, as he did at Coneordia.

THEY LOVE TAFT.
AguimaldO's Former Secretary
of War Tells How It Is.

Washington, May 29.-GeneraI Filipe
Bueneamino of Manila, formerly Agdi-
naldo's secretary Of war, called on the
president today in company with Seere-
tary Root. General Buencamino was
taken prisoner by the United States
troops at the time Aguinaldos mother
was captured, and since that time has
been at the head of the federal Filipino
party. He told the president today
that his mission to Washington was to
correct some of the false reports that
have been put in circulation with a
view of discrediting the work Of both
and the army The civil government,
he told the president, was doing a real
" wonderful work for good in the is
lands and it had been ably seconded by
the army. The stories of cruelty per-
petrated by our soldiers. he said, were
either wholly untrue, or greatly exag-
gerated. The army had conducted itself
in a way to elicit praise from all right
thinking FiEpinos and this, too, IN the
face of the greatest temptations and
provocations. Judge Tafts commits
sion had the entire confidence of all
rightly disposed natives. he said, and
it was General Buencamino's hope that
Judge Taft might be induced to remain
an indefinite time at the head of the
civil government The FilipinOs, he
said, love Judge Taft for he has never
once deceived them, and they know him
to be theila friend. The general will ap-
pear before the Philippine committee of
the senate within the next few days.

D1sAPPEARANCE OF MIDDLE
MEN.

John v. Barnes. president Of the New
York produce exchange, in his report
al the annual meeting Of the exchange,
claimed the decline in business on the
exchange is the result of trade com
binations. He said.
THE. port of New York has shared
IN the general growth Of trade and com
merce of the country, and certain IN
terests Of the exchange have been bene-
hted The net registered tonnage en-
terine and cleared from the port Of
New York increased more than one
million tons last year. Much tonnage
was carried, however, at unproftabls
rates. There has been a considerable
increase in the export Of wheat from the
country and a slight increase at this
port. Corn exports at New York for
the past twelve months show a decrease
Of thirty-three million bushels as com
pared with the previous twelve months.
THE farmer is prospecting, but the
produce merchant as a middleman is
steadily being supplanted by large cor
porate interests dealing almost directly
between the producer and consumer. A
large petroleum trade once conducted on
our floor has passed in this trade evoiu-
ton. and the flour, provision. lard and
oil trades are concentrating in limited
number Of corporations, which Is most
noticeable in the export trade Of these
products. Even the grain trade Is not
free from the same tendency"
