North Dakota Farmers Find They Can

@WAHPETON, N. D.-This country is rapidly

Range of the HnneYbee.

1.-The range of honeybees is but little
understood" said an authority. Many
suppose that bees go for miles in quest
of nectar, while others think they go
only for a short distance 1t may be
curious to many to understand bow
any one can tell how far the bees may
fly, but this is simple when understood.
Years ago, when the italian bees
were first introduced in the United
States, these bees, having marks diff
ferent from the common bees already
here, were easily distinguished, and
after any beekeeper had obtained the
Italian bees they could be observed
and their range easily noticed. II
bloom is plentiful close to where bees
are located they will not go very far,
perhaps a mile in range, but If 1t is
scarce they may go five miles.
Usually about three miles is as far
as they may go proitably. Bees have
been known to go as far as eight miles
in a straight line, crossing a body of
water that distance to land. ."-Mllwau-

The Power of n Voice.

Stories abound to illustrate the power
possessed by great speakers and act
Ors to stir the emotions by the tones
of the voice. 1t is said of the elder
Booth that he brought tears to the eyes
of company upon one occasion by the
way in which he uttered the opening
words, "Our Father" of the Lords
Prayer.
A story is told Of the great Irish ora
tor, O'Connell. An attack had been
made upon him in the house of COM
mons. When O'Connell arose to reply,
his lofty brow was black with thunder
and his arm upllfted as If to strike.
Then, checking himself, he said, But
the gentleman says he loves Ireland" j"
Lowering his tone to the ripping muir
mur of summer brook, he continued,
II have no words of bitterness or re-
proach for any man who loves Ire
land" The pathos in the fragmentary
utterance of the last word brought
tears to the eyes of many veterans OF
the house.

WHAT TOTEMISM is.
Light on an Interesting and Little
Understood Subject.


Understood Subject.
1t is interesting to note that tOtemism
is found not only in Alaska, but among
the North American Indians, the abo-
rigines of Australia, the HOttentOts of
Africa and even the hill tribes of In
dia. Totems are also common among
the SamOans.
Broadly the totem is the badge of a
clan or tribe, but it signifies a great
deal more than mere political or social
alliance. 1t is not only a tribal en-
blem, but also a family sign; not mere
ly a symbol of nationality, but also
an expression of religion; not simply
a bond of union among primitive peO-
pies, but also a regulator of the mar
riage laws and of other social instltu-
tions A totem has been defined as "a
class of material' objects which saw
age regards with superstitiOus respect,
believing that there exists between
him and every member of the class an
intimate and special relation"
Among the Ojibway Indians there
are no fewer than twenty three differ
ent totems. Nine of these are quadru-
peds, marking out the wolf, the bear,
the beaver and other clans, eight are
birds, five are fishes and one is the
snake.
Some extraordinary superstitlons re-
garding tOtems prevail in Samoa. Thus
it is believed that If a turtle man eats
of a turtle he will grow very i'll, and
the voice of the turtle will be heard in
his inside saying: "He ate me. l am
killing him." If a banana man uses a
banana leaf for cap he becomes bald.
If a butterfly man catches a butterfly
it strikes him dead. If fowl man
eats a fowl delirium and death results,
and so on, all going to show that the
totem has something of the quality of
a fetch as well as the significance of
family emblem.
| Regarding totemism, 1t is to be noted
that the relation of mutual help and
| protection includes also the totem it
self-that is to say, if a man takes
care of his totem he expects the to-
tenn to return the compliment. If the
totem Is a dangerous animal it must
not hurt his clansmen. The scorpion
men of Senegambia declare that the
most deadly scorpions will run over
their bodies without hurting them
There is a snake clan in Australis
which holds TO a similar belief. Among
the crocodile clan of the Bechuanas Il
man is bitten by a crocodile or ever
has water splashed on him by one he il
expelled from the clan as one esteemed
unworthy by the totem.-Housekeepe
