sUPERsTITIoNs ABOUT BEES
Queer Attributes Supposed to Be-
long to Busy Insects.

A few centuries ago honey was sup
posed to be kind of mama from
heaven, and its quality depended
greatly on the favorable or unfavor-
able juxtaposition of the starts at the
timeof its descent.
Although the existence in each hive
of one bee much larger than all the
others vas generally recognized in
olden times, this was believed to be
merely ruler or king over the rest.
That the large bee was actually the
mother of the whole colony seems to
never have occurred to anyone until
recent times. Among various other
duties it was the kings part to go out
each evening in search of any bees that
had not returned to the hive by sun
set and show them the way home.
From the earliest times honey ap-
pears to have been held in extraord-
mary favor as a universal specific for
human ills. AS hair restorer it
was largely recommended, rubbed in
plentifully night and morning, and if
dead bees we're dried, pounded and
worked up with a thick paste with
the honey its hair producing capa
bilities were much enhanced. This
mess had to be plastered on the bald
places of the head overnight, with
infaIIible results in the morning,
if one may credit certain fifteenth
century writer. For weak eyes the
same authority says to take hand
full of the heads of bees, burn them
with honey gathered in the dog days.
The eyes were then annointed liber-
ally with the mixture and clearness
of vision was the invariable reward.
In the old days, the situation of a
bee hive was matter of prime i'm
portance. 1t was to be placed always
Oh the south side of a stream of
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
flight as counterpoises. The bee
keeper was recommended to shave
and keep his head close cropped,
long hair Oh head or face being ex-
tremely offensive to his charges, and
in his attire he was to avoid anything
of red color.

DR.. Staples in El Dorado Co.
The Sacramento Bee, in a Dispatch from
Ell Dorado, Says:

DR.. Frederick N. Staples, charged
with Mrs. Hoxie, with the murder of
his wife, came to this town on March
6, 1902, from Stockton, where he had
been practicing for a few months He
rented fiat from John Mengle, and
purchased from the latter furniture
to the value of $40, for which he gave
his note. On the following Goth of
August, 1902, DR.. Staples insured his
personal effects for S700, placing a
valuation of $500 on his meagre Ii
brary, which was about all the proper
ty he owned, aside from the furni
ture purchased from Mr.. Mengle.
Just ten days later, at o'clock in
the evening, the building was myster-
iously burned to the ground. DR..
Staples saved two large trunks, we'll
packed, which happened to be in the
woodshed. Mrs. g. l.. Lewis, who
occupied the lower floor of the
bnilding, lost every thing, and John
Fishers colonial dwelling, next door,
a landmark of early days, was also
destroyed. None of the property in
sured, except DR.. Staples personal
effects, and Mr.. Fishers home, on
which he carried few hundred dol
lars only.
few days before the fire Mrs. Sta
Piles and her mother left town with
two large, heavy trunks. The doc
tor lost no time in moving the heav-
ily-loaded trunks from his woodshed,
which was consumed. He compro-
missed with the insurance company
for part of the policy and left town
shortly after, under cloud of sus-
picion.
Soon after locating here the doctor
apparently became deeply interested
in religious work, and was appointed
treasurer of the church fund. After
the fire he claimed that the church
money which had been intrusted to
him, being paper currency, was
burned. 1t was never refunded. He
was also a member of the Fraternal
Brotherhood, as was his wife, and
he claimed that the life insurance
policy of the latter was burned.
After his wife's mysterious death,
however, he sent the original policy
for collection.
A check was sent from the home
Office at Los Angeles to the treas
urer of the local lodge here, bnt was
never paid, as its receipt was quickly
followed by telegram, ordering the
money to be withheld, as accusations
of murder against Staples had ap-
peared in the papers.

If the cod fish became extinct
it would be a worldwide calam-
ity, because the oil that comes
from it's liver surpasses all other
fats in nourishing and life-giving
properties. Thirty years ago
the proprietors of Scott's Emul-

cod liver oil so that everyone can
take it and get the full value of

INCUBATION IN THE DESERT.

Many person who has watched a
mother robin Nesting patiently on her
eggs in blossoming apple tree has
wondered how the little creature
of her ancestors ever learned that
that long process would cause the
eggs to hatch. A greater puzzle is
set for them, says the author of
''The Land of Little Rain," in the
great desert, where the birds have
learned to cool their eggs instead of
warming them.
In the unsheltered nests on the
sandy plains it becomes necessary to
keep the eggs from cooking. One hot,
stitfiing spring in the Little Ante
lope traveller had occasion to pass
and repass the nest of pair of mead
ow larks. located unhappily in the
shade of very slender weed. The
birds we're never sitting except at
night, but at midday they stood or
dropped above the nest, half fainting,
with pitifully parted bills, spreading
their wings between the sun and
the eggs. Sometimes both of them
together, with wings spread and half
lifted, maintained spot of shade in
a terrific temperature.
Their patience was in this case re-
warded, for the compassionate traveller
at last spared them a bit of canvas
which she mounted over the nest as a
permanent shelter.
