super.titious About Bees.

The superstitions which connect bees
with the death or sickness of the mem
bers of the particular family in which
they are kept are interesting. In Scot
land and Ireland the entrance of bee
into cottage, more particularly If it
be a bumblebee. is looked upon as a
certain sign of the death of some one
then residing there. In other locali-
ties if bees in swarming settle upon
dead wood it is regarded as equally

A .Lotv of Land.

A Hartford lawyer is of the opinion
that the term 'lot' as applied to a par
Gel of land is an American product, not
derived from any other uses of the
word. He says: Il have been reading
up some of the old histories of my
state, of Long Island and other colo
NAL sections recently, and l find that
the term "a lot Of land was originated
In the colonies; that it is today consid-
cred an Americanism and stands apart
from other uses of the word. 1t origi-
mated from the custom of dividing
grants for townships, ETC., into parcels
Of land and then numbering each par
Gel. putting the numbers into hat or
whatever was used and then having
them drawn out by those who were to
occupy the land. Each man took the
parcel corresponding to his number, so
his land came by lot literally, and
hence the use of the term. This, / pre-
sumo, Is ancient history, but perhaps
ancient enough to have been forgotten
by most real estate dealers and other
people who deal in land and not Ian
guage."

suit Of clothes till everybody was

she saved up enough produce

farmer was coming to Forestt dur

money with her compliments and
told him not to return without that
suit Of clothes. So IN the evening
when he returned home he had his
new suit tied in neat bundle and
placed in the wagon. 1t was after
