HONEY FROM THE BEES.
II Il Not All Good, the best BeinO
That Made In the spring
and Fail.

Not all honey Is alike toothsome, any
more than all bread is of uniformly ex.
cellent quality. 1t depends in both cases
upon the ability of the malser, says one
who knows. To understand good honey
making one must study the very inter.
esting habits OF the bee. AZ exploited by
some Of the most fascinating writer's,
that they have not yet gotten their
minds to the move-On point.
THE best honey Is taken when the
asters and goldenrod are In BLOSSOM"
says Mrs. f.. s. Starr. an authority on
the subject. Compared with honey
made when these two flowers are bloom
Ing sweet clover honey Is very poor.
None Is lost. however. since the honey
made from the less desirable flowers Ia
taken from the bees and kept for their
winter necessities. These patient toll.
ers may know the difference. but they
make no expression. Like good chill.
dren, they eat what Is set before them
and neither grumble nor ask for more.
Next to the aster and goldenrod honey
is that made In the spring. In many
instances the charming spring flowers
make as desirable honey as that which
Is slipped late in the summer, Not that
bees are invariably engaged In making
honey! Indeed. that touching. if old
fashioned rhyme: "HOw doth the little
busy bee improve each shining hour
might well be paraphrased in an up-tO-
date manner. Some Of them are given
to singing. And here's an interesting
point. One who OWNS many swarms
and Is often stung by the various MEM
bcrs of these swarms says that only ono
swarm proves poisonous. Members OF
the others sting and annoy for the time.
but the members of this one have a poi
sonous sting that is truly troublesome.
Just why inhabitants of this hive should
be fitted cut with such very active pol
son is a mystery.

A capuchin hood is seen on many
OF the newest evening wraps.
Tiny gold buttons lend a bright

Clusters of flowers fastening on rib

The vogue for the shaded ostrich

Velvet fruit d%ecorates a number OF

Jeweled fabrics are much favored by
Partisan designers for evning gowns.

CACTI GROWN FOR PROFIT.
An Arizona Scientist Found That
Nothing Else Would Grow In
His Garden.

A business enterprise of n novel and
unique nature has been built up In the
neighborhOod of Phoenix, Ariz., and
though n O large enough to attract q
great deal OF attention, 1t is being car
ried on successfully from a financial
point OF view. says the New York Her
aid.
Nearly everybody who had lived in
Phoenix long is acquainted with DR..
X. l.. KunZe, better known locally as
THE Bug Catcher" DIR. Kunze takes to
water, and came here a few years ago
from New York. Noting the many bugs,
butterflies and insects that are rarely
found In other parts. he began to sys-
tematically and ind%ustriously collect
them and send them to eastern collect
ors, schools, etc, and it is understood
that his work was plcasingly cmuncr
alive. for he knew first how to catch and
preserve his specimens and next how
to classify them.
Finally he bought a little piece of
ground down near the river, a mile
south Of Washington street, on Seventh
venue, intending to plant an orchard.
He tried faithfully for a year or two,
but with poo success. He found the soil
in that locality was worthless for fruit
trees, and the few that did grow were n
sickly lot.
1t then occurred to him that If he
could not raise anything he could grow
cacti. so he went into that business.
Now he has a cacti nursery. and is max
ing money out of 1t. lie supplies local
people when they want cacti for deco
rative purposes, but his main business
Is In the large eastern cities and In
Europe. He has been sending plants to
Germany for the last four years, and
last spring he made IA shipment Of about
5000 pounds.
DR.. KunZe knows as much about cacti
as he does about bugs, and when he
meets a new variety he prizes it as a
prospcctOr does "A promising gold ledge.
He now has plants from all over the
southwest, Arizona particularly. One
variety he goes clear to the Mexican
line for, and can find it nowhere else.

spend New Years day in the waiting
o OF the station. AS she went down
the broad avenue toward Miss Morgan's
seminary Elsie quite forgot the cold
and the loneliness in the interest of
watching the people who were hurry
Ing this way and that. 1t made her a
little sad, too, when she thought that
everyone IN all the great city IA hav-
ing a happy time except herself. Every
one, 1t seemed, had some place to go;
s%lcighloads OF young people were pass
ing. and often they cried out "Ilappy
New Year." to someone on the street.
Elsie thought of the girls at home, in
Fairhaven, and she wondered what they
would say If they could see her, standing
on the corner of two broad streets,
wishing so earnestly hat she knew
someone on whom she might make a
New Years call. With a clatter and a
rush and much sliding Of wheels over
the shining track. a great yellow car
stopped before her, and was now I'M
loading It's human freight. Over its
windows it bore the sign, "California
Street,"
California street! Elsie's eyes bright
ened. lmpulsivcly she ran forward
and was o o whirling along in the car.
She was no longer sad; 10 longer lonely.
for she was going TO make a New Years
call on the Wash .ngtUns-George, Mar
tina, Abraham Lincoln. Andrew Jackson,
Arathusa and Amaryllis. She had
been to see them once before. On the
day of her arrival Miss Morgan had ia
ken her to the miserable little shanty,
and nov she was going to see II she
might no bring a little sunshine to the
six little orphans. whose mother had
died but the month before.
She picked her way carefully among
tered Moxey's alley TIL she stood on the
little doorstep and pushed open the
rickety door. And what a sight met her
eyes! The six little Wa%shingtons sat
huddled about a stove In which q few
Goals cleaned family. Martha the ED
est, a girl about Elsie's age, crouched
on q stool, and in her arms she held
BABY Amaryllis, so swathed In a ragged
quilt that she looked like n little pap
poose. Abraham Lincoln crept close tn
Martha's knee, and was whimpering
with the cold. Andrew Jackson and his
twin, Arathusa. were huddlcd together,
while George Washington, the man OF
the family now. was searching the dim
corners of the bare room. hoping against
hope that some bit of coal might be
there.
Martha explained In a dull, hopeless
sort OF way. all that Elsie had guessed
at q glance.

A Happy

verely addressed the woful reflection in
the great glass door OF the station. Il

Der, you're much too old for such child

I ever heard OF him related to an event
that happened in Virginia at one of the
roadside inns where the famous SEN
atOr, in the course OF a business Jour-
ney. had been forced by the coming on
OF darkness to tarry for a night. The
landlord made everything as com
Portable as he possibly could for his
guest, who, by his retiring manners,
made 1t evident he would not allow
any approaches of sociabiIity. Boni-
face could not, however, refrain from
asking the senator as he mounted his
horse to ride away in the morning in
which direction he was travelling.
"Mr, Randolph said: Is my bill
settled? Dc ! owe you anything"

to a place where the roads forked. He
was n%onplusscd and decided to return
and inquire of the deeply insultcd
landlord which of the two roads no
should take to reach his destination.

owe me a cent. and you can take
