WISE HENS OF OREGON.

Their Owner Says They Can Tell
 Drones From Working Bees.
 Worth their weight in coined sill ver' is the value attached to his flock Of hens and chickens by W. H. Pen ming, the most extensive producer of honey in the alfalfa region aboue On tario, Ore. This high price for poul- try is not on account of the beauty or size or pedigree of his flock, but on account of their having developed faculty or intelligence which enables them to distinguish between a work ing bee and drone, which enables him to secure much larger yield of honey from his five hundred hives, as his hens keep (the number of lazy, idle drones. who are not armed with Istings, but who have good capacities. reduced to a minimum, and more cells are filled and sealed daily by the busy
 workers.
 Mr Penning told the Oregonian the story of the wonderful development of his hens, which are allowed to run at large among his bee hives, and who l like many other 'birds," have a fond-
 ness for bees, bugs, grasshoppers and other insects, but which; generally speaking, have learned to leave bees entirely alone, having in their early attempts to swallow them found that pain and danger lurked in the stings with which most of them were armed. 1 Within the past year or two he has noticed his hens peeking into the en- frances of hives and occasionally seiz- l ing a bee, which after placing on the ground and examining critically they would sometimes swallow and some times allow to fly away.
 l This resulted dn a careful inyestiga'
 ton by him of the strange action of hens had learned to distinguish the stingIess and useless drones from the
 armed working bees, and that in con.
 sequence the number of eaters, but ] not producers of honey, was being
 kept within reasonable limits. He has also discovered that this season the old hens have taught their chick ems how to distinguish between thf two classes of bees. He believes tha' no other fowls have ever acquired this valuable knowledge, and has no l found anyone who has ever heard ol such knowledge being displayed by any fowl or bird. He is greatly de llighted at his discovery, for it means I many dollars in his pocket. and hi' I discovery is now published for the i'll formation of all apiarists, students oi entomology and the publics i'll general I-Portland Oregonian.

Fresh Air for the Anaarnic.

Paleness of the complexion is often one of the signs of anaemia. com plaint from which young girls very often suffer nowadays For these an indoor life is exceedingly undesirable, and they should be out in the, fresh air as much as possible. A course of cod liver oil and iron is beneficial, and the diet should consist of milk, farinaceous foods, etc, and a cold CT tepid morning bath is excellent as causing better circulation to the body.

BELL RANG AT WRONG TIME
And Led to the Capture of | Thief

And Led to the Capture of | Thief
 Whose Specially was Clocks.
 Speaking of curious things, one of the strangest experiences l ever had, and l have had great many" said the old policeman, twas brought about some years ago by the arrest of notorious clock thief. The fel- low had a perfect mania for stealing clocks and when his place was searched we found about the strang- est collection of timepieces you ever laid your eyes on.
 The fellow made complete confes- sion and stated that he had never stolen anything but clocks, and had no desire to pilfer any other article. Watches of the very finest and costli- est kind, jewelry, diamonds of ali sorts and sizes, he had passed by frequently in order to lay his pilfer- ing hands on two dollar clock. But I was about to tell you how I made the capture, for this is the most inter- esting part of the story from my way of looking at it. I had had very dull night of it and was getting sleepy along toward 4 o'clock in the morning. I had hid myself in Il shadowy place, and to be frank about l it, was dozing just a bit. A man could have passed me with ease if he made no more than ordinary noise in walking the pavement
 Suddenly I was reused by the buzzing and changing of an alarm, and jumping up, threw my pistol fright into the face of the fellow wHo had the noisy timepiece. About the same time head was showed out of window two doors away, and the cry of '.Thiefr' rang out on the air. I had caught the thief. The man who cried thief" owned the clock, and 1 had set it to Ego off' at 4 o'clock in the morning, as he wanted to get up to catch train. He caught the train and I caught the thief and found s collection of clocks numerous enough to start q clock store. 1t was one of the strangest catches I ever made and l the fellow ran down wound up his career by doing time in the State penitentiary for term of years"

Honey in Switzerland.

Beekeepers are very important peo- pie in some parts of the world. Take Switzerland, for example, where honey is a staple article of food, bread and honey being the standard breakfast even among the peasants. Tie largest hotels there serve it as the principal item of their morning bills of fare. So important s= the bee industry in that little country that men are paid to go around from canton to canton teaching the art of bookkeeping.

TO STAMP COLLECTORS.
Advice Regarding the Securing Of
Early Issues of the United
States.

There is a growing difficulty in
securing fine copies of the early is.
sues Of United States stamps.
The makers Of these issues, says
st. Nicholas, were not required by
the government to be careful in re.
latiOn to the perforating of them.
The paper was of brittle quality,
very easily broken or injured by
careless handling. The postmas.
tiers who Cancelled these stamps
cared for nothing except TO thor.
Oughly Obliterate them, so that
they used unnecessary quantities
Of ink for this purpose. All these
things combined make il difficult
TO find used copies Of the early is.
sues of our country in fine cOnd!
ton. There were few collectors.
and therefore not many Of these
stamps were saved in unused con
ditiOn. The consequence Of this
state Of things is and will be an in
creasing difficulty in securing
these stamps in such condition AZ
Is acceptable 10 collectors who are
at all particular as to the looks Of
their albums. There are vast
nCmbers Of United States stamps
in poor and ordinary condition.
These many collectors take 10 MI
the spaces in their albums until
they can secure stamps Of finer
quality This seems. on the whole.
10 be- Il mistake, for the possession
Of II specimen. even though il be- a
poor one, causes Il collector 10
neglect 10 secure another of thu
same stamp.
The desire TO all spaces that are
vacant is greater than 10 improve
those that are not properly filled.
The best thing for the young col.
lector. II he wishes 10 have really
pleasing album, is to put nothing
into its spaces but unused. lightly
cancelled. clean copies Of the
stamps which he selects. The iill
ing Of the album properly will be
appreciated within a few years by
those who care more for United
States stamps than for the issues
oi foreign countries. since the
growing demand will make il even
more difficult than IL now is Ia ob.
tain fine specimens.
