Some Odd Ideas About Bees.

In old days the situation of bee
hive was a matter of prime impor-
lance. 1t 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
beekeeper vas recommended to shave
and keep his head close-cropped, long
hair on head or face being extremely
offensive to his charges, ard In at

Depth of the Water Has Z Great Effect

The recent tests of torpedo-boats in

facts regarding their navigation not

water on the speed of the boat. It
is stated that up to a speed of twelve
knots an appreciate influence was

knots the unfavOTable character Of
the influence increased in proportion

ONCE UPON A TIME

And not so long ago either, super
fiuous introductions were an almost
universal nuisance in this country.
The woman who persists in the
farce of making people acquainted
in the twinkling of an eye under ny
and all circumstances is still TO be
found, but she is happily becoming rar'
er and rarer.
We will not suffer unalloyed grief
when we write 'Hic jacet" over the
last of her kind
Still there is no need of burying the
introduction itself.
They have almost done so over in
England, but America has often found
happy medium between her own
early ways and the customs of Europe.
She finds that common sense is gen.
orally safe key to any guide to de-
corum.
The confirmed introducer has been
called a bore, but until mental tele-
pathy shall have become a more wide
spread accomplishment than il is now,
the old fashioned introduction has
need for not lapsing into utter disuse.
To send total strangers out TO dinner
together without so much as giving one
a clew to the others identity may be
good English form, but it is not good
common sense.
A woman who aspires to be a good
dinner giver will find that success lies
not by this path.
Even at teas and receptions an intro
duction need not always be made with
bated breath and an apologize air as
If ones conscience accused one of max
ing a faux pas.
Finally, although there are those who
might condemn this as rank social
liberalism, there are circumstances
when passing introductions are per.
fectly legitimate and most agreeable.
The introduction has as much need
of raison d'etre as has any other so
cial custom.
But once it has the reason for being
it is most valuable and welcome.
II is the only superfluous introduc.
ton, whose name is even yet legion,
which has numbered the ground and
