Bees as Burglars.

1t appears that the monarchies of
bees, well governed as they seem to be,
are afflicted nevertheless by organized
criminal classes-sneak thieves and
highway robbers. Some of these robber
bees go in strong bands to pillage and
are able to storm and sack hive. Aft
er the slaughter they carry all the pro
visions home. Some colonies of bees
never work; they live entirely by rob
berry and murder.
There are also thieves who creep un-
perceived into strange hives to steal
honey If successful they return after
ward with hordes of burglar bees,
break open the honey safes and carry
away the contents. But the most curl
Gus fact is that these bees can be arti-
ficially produced, according to Buch-
ner, by feeding the larvae upon honey
mixed with brandy.-London Tit-Bits.

pon,t BE Aernaa OF orisinnlitz


Do not be afraid of being original,
even eccentric Be an independent,
self reliant new man, not just one
more individual in the world. Do not
be copy Of your grandfather, of your
father or g your neighbor That is
as foolish as for violet to try TO be
like a rose or for daisy to ape sun
flower. Nature has given each a pc
cuiiar equipment for its purpose.
Every man is born to do a certain
work in an original way. If he tries
to copy some other man or to do some
other mans work he will be an abor-
ton Il miStit, a failure.
DO not initiate even your heroes.
Scores of young clergymen attempted
to make their regulations by initiating
Beecher They copied his voice and
conversation and initiated his geS-
lures and habits, but they fell as far
short of the great mans power as the
chrome falls short of the masterpiece.
Where are those hundreds of imita-
tors now? Not one of them has ever
made any stir in the world rison

Only Medals For Bravery.

In the Japanese army men are not
promoted for distinguished conduct on
the field and officers do not assume the
rank of a superior officer who may be
killed. By distinguishing themselves
they gain nothing but decorations. The
Order of the Golden Kite is a most COW
eted honor Every man seeks to obtain
it not only because it carries with it
certain monetary rewards, but for the
honor which its possession bestows on
the wearer. No officer attains higher
rank except by going through the nee
essary course of study and passing the
examinations. Mere bravery cannot
bring promotion.

why A,ctic waters Are yellow.

Arctic explorers never tire of telling
how beautifully yellow the waters of
the northern sea appear. To those who
live on the seashore in temperate and
tropical countries the stories of trav-
elers concerning the yellow waters of
Greenland and Iceland are taken with
the proverbial grain of salt" but sci
entiSts have declared that the arctic
seas are yellow, and it was Scores
by who first explained the cause of it's
peculiar color. Perceiving that the wa
tiers were of an unusual color, he had
some drawn up and examined it with
his microscope. 10 his surprise, he
found that the color was due to the
presence of minute animalcules, each
so inconceivably small that a single
drop of the water contained upward of
10000 of the little creatures At that
rate a pint of the water would show
100000, each sporting about in his
place without disturbing or crowding
his neghbOr.
