recently hired in Duluth succeeded in
making his escape: He said that he
did not know that there was strike
on when he hired out. He tells a
most pitiable story of the conditions

to all parts of the United States and Canada is one cent. All the cages, as they are called, are provisioned with spe- cial bee-candy, so that the queen may never go hungry, and the export cages, in addition, with a small portion of seal ed honey. The honey and the prepared food make a satisfactory combination, and 50 to 75 per cent of the queens are delivered alive, no matter what length the journey may be. Bees for export travel in cages larger than the ordinary size and come to New York through the malls or by express, afterwards going to their West Indian destination, not in a mailbag, but under the care of the steamers purser. The cages are marked, Queen Bee! Deliver Quick" and post men, expressmen, and ships officers fol- low the instructions faithfully.
 Honey Gathering in the West Indies Cuba, Jamaica, and Santo Domingo are the islands to which the greatest number of queens are sent, and 1t is from there that New York receives the bulk of it's imported honey. Last year more than 13. 900 packages-tierces barrels, and tins were received here, and as a tierce will hold 100 gallons, barrel 50, and a tin something less than 20 gallons, 1t may be seen that the merchant is amply re- paid for the trouble he takes in supply ing the orders for queens.
 There are various grades of imported honey. the quality depending on the kind of flowers from which it Is extracted. Where bees feed on the flowers of the tobacco plant honey is dark, and con- tains a slight flavor of tobacco. but in some parts of Cuba the apiarist grows fields of certain fower-producing plants, and from these the tiny workers extract an excellent syrup. All of it, however, contains dead bees and other foreign matter, and must be clarified after its arrival. It goes through hands of the broker here to large grocery houses job bers, and confectioners, and when the New York market Is dull the surplus is shipped in bond to Germany and Hol- land, as these countries consume even more per capita than the United States. In Germany honey cakes are a we'll known article of food. while in Holland honey often takes the place of butter among the poorer classes.
 The production of honey In the West Indies is not an experiment, but an in dustry of long standing. and it is to the advantage of the apiarist to keep his colonies under the leadership of high class honey queens. Hence his desire to obtain occasionally from this country new mothers of irreproachable ancestry. Occasionally whole colonies are exported and there is a record of one shipment

Marrying Titles.

Baroness de Bazus (Mrs. Frank Lesne) saws of American girls marrying titles .I do not think 1t ridiculous because the independent Yankee knows precisely what she is buying. She Is not swlndled' But 1t Is a question of buying and selling foreign nobleman might propose with the phrase, I'll exchange my title for some of your money, Miss America oo think it foolish for American girls 10 marry in that fashion. They may acquire honors, social position and all the pomp and power women hold dear, but they don't attain happiness.
 "Of course there may be stray cases of international marriages proving happy, but they are so rare we shan't consider them. I do not blame ambitious mothers for this trading. Our girls are equal to doing their own thinking, and they are bred with the idea of making stir so- cially.
 'I believe in the mating of equals. A British Lord marries a rich American, She is not patriotic. At the first quarrel my Lord will sheer at her ancestry, her country, probably her self made parents normal woman would resent this more than a slap in the face. I know of one case where one of these contemptuous noblemen lost his wife's love after five minutes of this wrangling."

Nasty Marriages.

Disenchantments. alas, follow too of- ten upon the heels of hasty marriages. Sometimes 1t Is the wife who finds that she has made a poor bargain in the mat rimonial market. and sometimes 1t is the husband who finds that his wife whom he has welded Is no bargain at any price.
 Surely not at the price of hearts af- lection. the price of the toll he must put forth to maintain her. and. above all else, the cost of his future comfort in com panionship and happiness.
 It is sad mistake to leap into matri- mony. All other errors you can easily rectify, but the mistake of a poor, un- satisfactory, unsatisfied marriage never.

Once upon a time girls were often busy embroidering hatbands for their mascu- line friends and brothers, but the fashion passed when the manufacturers devised more durable designs of perforated let tering for the inner bands of hats. Late- ly few clever girls have taken up the same idea and are making embroidered bands with full name and address to be closely stitched in the inside collar of an overcoat. so if exchanged or left on a car it may be more easily traced. They make pretty Christmas presents. but of course, are no protection against real them very quickly.

to Cuba of 800 colonies. which was sadly depleted en route, no less than five bush els of dead bees being collected at the end of the voyage. The remarkable nor tality in this instance was due, it is said. to the fact that the bees had borne part of the toll of one season in this country. and had practically served out their best days. Bees, as well as men, suffer from overwork, and it is we'll known that a heavy honey flow is liable to exhaust old bees.
