There's one thing you want to re-
member if you go into the bee culture
business" remarked the man who had
just torn n hive to pieces to demon
strate how easy it was to handle bees,
'iand that is never to. approach the
bees when dressed in dark clothes.
Bees have Il decided aversion TO dark
habiliments, and they show their re-
pugnance i'll a lively fashion Wear
white duck and you'll meet their APP
proval. / never think of fussing witIx
my hives SO long as I'm wearing a
dark suit, and my wife, to whom the
bees are not accustomed, never has
the least trouble i'll approaching the
hives if she is wearing a white gown
A bee bears a grudge about as long as
an Indian will. He makes no allow
ances for mistakes or an accident
Once you harm him he will have it I'm
for you for the rest of his life. Bees
are not naturally bad tempered, and
they are really timid by nature. but if
you carelessly crush them they viii
show an anger out of all proportion to
their size and will sometimes stiug
you until they themselves drop dead"

Captains of fishing smacks in the
North sea have found that Goldfish at
certain times of the year take sand in
to their stomachS as ballast" This, it
would appear, is done when the fish
are about to migrate from the shallow
water covering the southern banks of
the North sea to the deeper water far
Their north. 1t has been observed that
fish caught on the southern banks just
before the migration begins and those
caught in the northern waters after ii
is completed have sand in their stOm-
achs and that the sand is discharged
after the arrival of the fish at the
southern banks on the return migra-
ton. In proof OF this it is stated that
the sand found in tire fish often differs
in color and quality frOms that of the
bottom where they are caught.-Wash-

Rnnana. =. Ther GROW.

When you are buying bananas never
purchase the long thin ones unless you
want fruit which will quicker your
mouth. No matter how well ripened
these thin bananas are, they win al
ways be found both sour and acrid-
That is because the bunch containing
them was picked too soon. The bana-
na grows fastest at first in length
When it has reached its fullest deveI-
Dpment in that direction it suddenly
begins to swell and in few days VIII
double its girth, 1t is at the end OF
this time that the banana is ripened
naturally, and the effort of the banana
! importer is to have the fruit picked at
the last moment and yet before the
ripening has progressed even enough
to tinge the bright green of the fruit
with yellow A difference Of twenty
four hours on the trees at this time
will make difference in the weight
Of the fruit, perhaps % per cent, and
all the difference in its final favor be-
tween puckery sour and the sweet

1t is mistake to suppose that cold
drinks are necessary to relieve thirst.
Very cold drinks, as a rule, increase
the feverish condition of the mouth
and stomach and so create thirst. Elk
perience shows it to be a fact that hot
drinks relieve the thirst and cool off
the body when it is in an abnOrmaliy
heated condition better than ice cold
drinks. 1t is far better and safer to
avoid the use of drinks below 60 de-

WEARING APPAREL.
The Tunic, the TOGR and the Leather
Dress of the Ancients.

The Tunic, the TOgR and the Leather
Dress of the Ancients.
Ancient wearing apparel was not cut
TO fit, as is our modern clothing. Hav-
ing no definite shape of its own, it did
not disguise the wearer's figure, and
the grace and beauty of Greek drapery
are dependent almost entirely on the
perfect proportions of the figure be-
meath The tunic worn by both Greeks
and Romans was little, if at all, fitted
to the wearer and when ungirded
hung in folds all round, while the tOga
was little more than a sheet and was
worn in all sorts of ways, according to
the prevailing fashion. The Jews of
old seem to have worn breecheS, but
the rest of their clothing seems to
have been simply wrapped round them,
for it was difficult for them 70 run or
even walk fast without first 'girding
up their loins" The clothing of the
northern races was probably always
more of a fit than that of the southern,
for they used leather, which does not
lend itself to simple draping. but our
ancestors probably wore an almost
shapeless tunic belted at the waist.
Another striking difference is found
in the gradual monopoly by women of
the ornamental element in dress. Once
masculine dress was by far the most
splendid, and woman, holding an abso-
lutely subordinate social position, had
to content herself with humber attire.
AS she has won her way to freedom
and equality she has annexed not only
the beautiful, but the extravagant ele-
ments of costume and left man to con-
tent himself with a condition of color
less utility.

In the eye itself certain things may
go on which give us wrong sensations,
which, although not truly illusions, are
very much like them. Thus, when we
suddenly strike our heads or faces
against something in the dark we see
'stars," or bright sparks, which we
know are not real lights, though they
are quite as bright and sparkling as if
they were. When we close one eye and
look straight ahead at some word or let
ter in the middle of this page, for ex-
ample, we seem to see not only the
thing we are looking at, but every
thing else Immediately about it and
for n long way on each side. But the
truth is there is large round spot
somewhere near the point at which
we are looking in which we see moth
ing. Curiously enough, the existence
of this blind spot was not discovered
by accident. and nobody every sus-
pected it until Mariotte reasoned from
the construction of the eyeball that it
must exist and proceeded to find it.

BOILED POTATOES.
Szhy They Should Always BE Cooked
In boiling Water.

Why They Should Always BE Cooked
In Boiling Water.
Pare potatoes with a sharp vegetable
knife just as thin as possible, for thar
part of the tuber lying close to the skin
is richest in mineral salts, and put each
potato as peeled into pan of cold wa
ter to prevent discoloration. Have
ready meanwhile a kettle of boiling
water and when the peeling process is
complete take the potatoes from the
cold water and, covering them with
boiling sailed water, set them on the
range, covered, to boil Twenty min
utes usually suffice. but to test them
use a skewer or fork, and when they
can be pierced easily remove at once
from the fire. pour off all the. water
and set them on the back of the range,
uncovered, to steam dry, assisting that
process occasionally by slight shak
ing of the kettle.
If one asks the reason why potatoes
should always be cooked in boiling wa
ter try the following experiment for
proof: Take two cups, in each of which
has been put Il teaspoonful of ordinary
starch Pour over one q quarter of a
cGpful of boiling water and over the
other the same quantity of cold water
and observe the result. The one over
which the boiling water was poured
stays in shape. a compact mass, while
the one with the cold water dissOlves
into soft paste. The potato is largely
composed of starch, and from this
trial any one may draw his own con
illusions. If you wish PUPPY, watery
potato use cold water. but il dry,
mealy, snowy ball that would delight
the heart of Epicurus himself always
use boiling water.
