QUEEN BEES.
Wonderful Provision of Nature BY
Which They Are Made.

Wonderful Provision Of Nature by
Which They Are Made.
A marvellous phase Of bee life Is the
power which they possess to raise
queens, or mother bees, from eggs or
very young brood that would in the
ordinary urs produce workers,
which are %neuters, or undeveloped fe-
males.
If by any chance a queen is killed or
lost the whole colony would perish
were it not for this wonderful pro
vision of nature. Much perturbed at
first at their loss. the bees after some
hours settle down and deliberately
build a pear shaped structure known
as a queen cell. This is much larger
than an ordinary cell. rough. irregu-
lar and strong.
In this the selected eggs, or larv@.
are lavishly supplied with royal jel-
ly," which is highly stimulative and
in which the baby queen literally floats
during her period Of growth. The re-
suit is that certain organs and ova.
Res which remain dormant in a work
er bee are perfected, and the new
queen matches out in about fifteen
days. " six days one than the
workers.-London Answers.

MOODS AND TEARS.
One won,an'. View. About Weeping
at Theatrical Performances.


'sThere is just this about crying at
the theater," said the average woman
you'll cry il you're In the mood for 1t
and you won't it you're not, nc matter
how narrowing or nonharrowing the
play may be. Like most average wom-
en-, I rarely cry either at the theater or
anywhere, but l long ago discovered
that 1t depends entirely upon my mood
ut the time. l once went to a genuine
comedy and found the tears filling my
eyes Just because l happened to be
blue at the time, and I've been at many
. play with all the women round me
hopping their eyes and drying their
pocket han%dkerchiefs on their fans
while l. being for some reason or other
uplifted. sat there dry eyed, almost
smiling.
"No matter what my mood, however,
the thing sure to keep me from weep
ing at the theater is any emotional dis
play on the part of her who is with
me. IAN attend the weepiest kind OF
q play unmoved with my sister, for she
starts In way ahead of time. making
me feel more like laughing than cry
ing, and then when the true lachry-
NOSE opportunity arrives 1t finds me
pathos proof. This is the only way by
which l may make myself immune
from weeping at theaters upon all oc-

Covering Baok..

To cover paper bound books take two
pieces of cardboard a tiny bit larger
than book. Paste fly leaves at front
and back to cardboard. which Of course
Is outside. Then take a strip of strong
cotton cloth: paste 1t down back of
book; have it wide, so it will cover
about one inch OF each piece of card
board, thereby joining the two pieces
together. Now put a cover of brown
paper over all, FASTING securely. and
your decorated w goes over this.
The books may be covered with deco.
rated silk. pique Dr. duck il you paint

SPOTS in A STORM.
Places to Avoid When the Lightning
Is Flashing.

Is Flashing.
Out of doors trees should be avoided
In a thunderstorm, and If from the ra-
pidlty with which the explosion fol-
lows the flash it is evident that cleo
tric clouds are near at hand a recum-
bent posture is the safest. 1t is seldom
dangerous to take shelter under sheds,
carts or low buildings or under the
arch Of a bridge. and a distance of
twenty or thirty feet from tall trees or
houses is al eligible situation, for
should a discharge take place these
elevated bodies are most likely to re-
ceiye it.
1t is we'll also to avoid water, for it
Is a good conductor, and the height Of
q human being lear the stream may
determine the direction of & discharge.
Within doors we are tolerably safe in
the middle of a carpeted room or when
standing on a thick hearth rug. The
chimney should be avoided on account
Of the conducting power Of the carbon
deposited in 1t, and gilt holdings or
bell wires are sources Of risk. In bed
We are tolerably safe. since blankets
and feathers are bad conductors.
1t Is i%njudicious to take refuge in a
cellar, because the discharge Is often
from the earth to a cloud, and build
tngs frequently sustain the greatest
injury in their Easements.

Headdre..e. In Africa.

The married women and the men of
the upper Mobangi wear their hair
long and in braids, which are profuse-
~ adorned with colored beads woven
in and out among the locks. This colt
fure excites the astonishment OF all
travellers who see it. Coquetry is the
privilege Of the sex under the tropics
as well as in civilized lands, and the
women are very proud Of their head
dresses. The arrangement Of their
hair requires a number Of days, and
while it is in progress or when they
fear that it will be disarranged they
cover the hair with a finely woven net
Of wood fiber. Ivory needles hand
somely carved keep the arrangement
in position and give it a truly artistic
aspect.

Cau.eway Of Bending pillar.,

Nature has hewn many upright pill
lars from the rock at various prehis-
toric periods. but so far as is known
she has completed but one group Of
bending pillars. The causeway Mt Stat
ia. in Scotland. is after this original
design. The stone shafts rise perpen-
dicuiarly to a height Of fifty or sixty
feet. when they curve inward in a
long. sweeping line at once graceful
and massive. In some places q perfect
Roman arch has been formed in this
way. The formations are so symmet-
rical as to suggest the hand Of the
architect.

Judges Wigs.

The wig is only worn by English
barristers to give them a stern, judi
cial appearance, and no one can say
that 1t fails in this respect. The cue
tom was originated by a French judge
in the seventeenth century, when, hap
pening to don a marquis wig one day,
he found it gave him such a stern aud
dignifed appearance that he decided
to get one for himself and wear 1t nj
all times in court. This he did. and
the result was so satisfactory from q
legal point of view that not only
Judges, but barristers also, took up the
custom throughout Europe.

Antioufty OF Pins.

Pins of various sorts have been in ex-
&tence ever since our FIRST parents"
clothed themselves in palm leaves
which grew wild in the garden Of
Eden. AS a matter Of fact, pins claim
4 very high antiquity, the earliest form
being a natural thorn, which is still
used to some extent for fastening the
dress by the peasant women Of upper
Egypt. In prehistoric times pins were
also made of the small bones of fish
and animals.
