your hands warm until you got to
school, then you'd put theE-the eggs,
not your hands-into the bucket and
there they'd be at noon. Great

would change things a bit and have a
couple of red-hot baked potatoes in

Did you ever stop to think that
your children are going to miss some
thing when they grow up and have
children of their own? With their
steam-heated, scientifically ventilated
and easily accessible schoolhouses,
how are they going to gather their
children about their knees and tell
them of the hard shedding papa and
mamma had when they were school
children? That's about one-half the
pleasure our fathers and mothers had
telling us youngsters how much we
ought to appreciate our educational
advantages and explaining the tough
time they had trying to learn the
"three Rs" And we've had lot
of pleasure telling our children about
the same thing, haven't We? Now
what are our children going to do
when they feel the necessity of en-
couraging their children in their school
| work?
o, Jeeminy! There's another thing
our children, with all their superior
school advantages, will miss. The
'last day o school, when we were
children meant something more than
the beginning of long summer vaca-
| tion-it meant teachers treat!'
Yum, yum! Why is it they can't
make candy these days that Is as
good as the candy they made when
we were children? Let's see, how
many years ago was it that George

There wasn't much studying done the
forenoon of that last day Everybody,
Including George Waters, was choke

Finally the bell rang. It was
measely little old handbell, you re-

George Waters had made beautiful

The Dandy of Old Days.

What has become of the dandy of
the old days? Is there now anything
to compare with him? To be dandy
three things were requisite, according
to the expert of the London Saturday
Review-the man had to dress himself
il a more artistic and original fashion
than his fellows, he had to be in the
best society and he had to be possess
ed of brains. Brummel was not man
OF birth. out both he and D'Orsay were
en- of brains, or wit, as it used to be
called. Lord Harrington in his book on
handles gives US picture Of Count
E'Orsay riding down to Richmond on
a superb hack dressed in blue coat acd
brass buttons. buff waistcoat, wide eH-
panse of snowy shirt front, tight fitting
l,,athers. broad brimmed, glossy hSt
and spotless white kid gloves. And ee

stared at By the passers with respect
and the greatest admiration. He set
the styles for New York and Pat@a1as-
mia as well as London.

The Life Of . Clam.

The CLAIMS body is completely en-
shrouded in the mantle, except for two
openings, through one of which the foot
can be pushed out. The other Is for the
siphon or what is commonly known az
the neck of the clam. In some respects
the clam may be better off than we are.
Cor he has a little brain In his foot and
also gland for secreting strong fibers.
With this he spins a byssus by which
be can attach himself to whatever he
likes. He does not even have to search
sor his food. but waits for it to come
to him. He makes q burrOw in the
mud or sand, attaching himself to the
bottom by the bysSuS. Then he thrusts
his siphon up through the mud and
water until it reaches the surface. The
siphon is made up of two tubes. the
water flowing in through one and out
through the other. When the inflowing
current, laden with minute plants and
animals, reaches the gill chamber, some
of these are sifted out and retained for
food. while the water and waste matter
flow out through the other tube

HABITS OF BEES.
4 Clan Instinct to Work Together
For the Good Of All.

4 Clan Instinct to Work Together
For the Good Of All.
Bees seldom vary in their habits
when honeymaking time comes around.
The places they choose for factories, II
not the manufactured hives, are in
variably hollow trees. Some Los An
geles bees, however, got up something
entirely new in the way Of a factory,
but it didn't run even one season. They
made their hive In the big chimney of a
lnillionaire's mansion. 1t was such a
convenient point to a world Of honey
laden flowers. The hive was ready to
burst with sweetness when a cool day
came along. as cool days will In au-
tumn, and a little fire was built in the
crate below the hive. The four and
twenty blackbir baked in a pie never
gave king and queen greater surprise
than this king and queen experienced,
aud these millfonaires have no desire to
see the land Of milk and honey, their
experience with honey being sufficient.
for it took the whole household to scoop
up the stream of honey that came
pouring down the chimney. At first
the honey was mixed with SCOT, but it
came pouring down so fast and SO CO.
piously that soon the chimney was
cleaned and the last Of the honey was
clear and appetizing.
Bees are Japanese in their ability as
acrobats, as well as In their clan in
s:inct to work together for the good of
the whole. For instance, it has been
noted by those who study the habits of
these busy gatherers Of sweetness that
when a hive needs a coating Of wax a
number of self elected citizens gorge
themselves with honey and hang In
CHAINS or curtains, remaining in this
position for days. The quiet is con.
d;lcive to eXuding wax scales. A great
deal of honey is needed for the manu-
facture of wax, and when the need is
felt these suppliers realize in some oc-
c,.lt way that by keeping still and Civ
ing the wax chance the end may be
accomplished more speedily than by
using the honey for energy and moving
