Bees as Acrobats.

When wax is needed certain
of self-selected citizens
gorge with honey and hang up in
chains or curtains, each bee
clinging by her front feet to the
hind feet of the one above her, like
japanese acrobats, and there they
remain, sometimes for two days, until
the wax scales appear pushed out
from every pocket. 1t is not hard to
understand that, since much honey is
needed for the manufacture of wax, a
bee, after filling with the raw material,
would produce much more wax by
keeping quiet than by using any of
the gorged honey for energy in NOV
ing about and working. But the neces-
sity of holding hands" while this
work goes on must ever remain to us
another occult evidence of the close
relation in the bee commune.

fifty feet square, richly finished and

When the angels softly entered the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Steve Brim
and took from their arms their little
golden sunbeam earth lamented the
loss of its precious jewell but around
the great white throne there was much
rejoicing, because another voice had
been added to heavens angel choir.
None but those who have watched the
roses slowly fade from the cheeks of
their own little one and have seen the
their cheeks like the touch of rose
leaves soft" folded in their last long
sleep can know the awful darkness
which this sudden taking away of their
only little girl has left in the lonely
home. Only few days ago and the
home was joyful with the music of a
precious little girls voice, the patter
of little feet; but since then the angels
have called, and today the home is
shrouded in gloom the dear little
voice is hushed, the little feet are
stilled, while a tiny mound in Bethel
cemetery tells US that little DOrine has
gone to live with the angels. Tenderly
the fond parents pleaded with the
heavenly reaper to pass their little
one by, but in vain; her angel pinions
were winged for flight, and in all her
saint-like beauty she fell asleep by the
gates of light.

class comprises that element in our

JAMES n. ECKelS' GOOD ADVICE.

Whenever Hon. James ii. Eckels
says anything on matters Of public pol
ley and particularly upon any question
involving the business and financial
interests of the country his words de-
serve the respect and the attention of
the country. His discussion Of the
trust question at the annual banquet of
the Commercial Club was one OF the
ablest utterances that have been made
upon this, the most important question
now engaging the attention Of the
American public.
Mr.. Eckels among other things said
'The country suffers more from bad
legislation than from watered stocks
or foolish investments, or private aud
public extravaganza. The great pcrlls
TO our nation lie, not outside Of IL but
within its borders, where It's upbulld-
ers have been turned upon as enc
