Some odd Ideas About Bees,

In old days the situation Of a bee
hive was a matter Of prime impOr-
lance. It was to be placed always on
the south side Of a stream or water
and never in place where there were
echoes, as an echo was very injurious
to bees A little gravel was to be put
down in the neighbOrhOOd OF the
hives, as in windy weather the bees
needed small stones to carry about
in their fight as cOunterpOises- The
Deekeeper vas recommended to shave
and keep his head clOse-cropped, long
hair on head or face being extremely
offensive 10 his charges, and in at
tire he was to avoid anything Of a red
color, as this was detrimental to the

Erennh aPowder Rau.n

French women apply powder to
their faces in such a way that it is
never noticeable or blotchy-lOOzing.
They abhOr the powder puff, and use
instead a piece Of chamois leather.
This is dipped in the powder and
passed over the forehead and temples
CavOiding the eyebrOws), then over
the nose and upper lip and next over
the chin and about the mouth, leaving
the cheeks and parts under the eyes
untouched. After the powder has
thus been applied, a clean piece OF
wash-leather is passed over the face
to smooth down the powder and rub
it in. Attention must then be paid
to the eyebrows. and if any powder
has fallen on them il must be removed
with a small brush.

As Leonard CaWthOTn walked down

the Overarching hedgerows, he
glanced about him with an. eye Of
sober delight The surrounding land

landscape without her would for
Leonard CawthOrn's eyes at least
have lost more than half its charm.

and the lane broadening out ran by
the side OF undulating meadows to
the village of Netherlands lying in
the valley below.

He had a clear right to a share of the
property after their fathers death,
but Mark seized everything with that
grasping nature of his and soon made
it plain 10 Leonard that his room in
NethercOte would be preferable to his
company Feeling this, like a sensi-

and this resolve was industriOusly fed
by Mark. who lent him ESQ to start
ranch life in Canada Fortune had
smiled so pleasantly upon him that
the repayment of that sum was now,
after fifteen years, quite an easy mat

He knocked at the door. which was
presently opened by a roundabout
dered figure Of a man, who with one
hand held alOft a small metal lamp

small to serve as the centerpiece Of
so large an apartment.

Those who are seeking through

Of characteristics that seem absolute
" incompatible with greatness. There
is hardly a great man whose life is 81

was not a weakness that would de-

mental weakness, as utter lack Of
judgment; sometimes moral weak
ness; again, physical weakness.
But is there on record q single case
Of a great man who had not through
his character a certain tOughness OF
fiber which made him free from the
common weakness OF whining and
rushing about for refuge at the first
black lift Of adversely? Is not that
fundamental sense Of insecurity. or
inability to stand alone. the great en-
envy we all have to fight? Is it not
