Intelligence OF Bees.

Maeterlinck thinks it is mans vanity
which causes him TO doubt the proofs OF
intelligence in flowers and the lesser ami
nal creatures. He relates in Harper ;
Magazine for March an incident to prove
the intelligence Of bees. Two English en-
tomologists declared that they would ad-
nit the reasoning faculties of bees when
1t was proved that bees had ever had
the idea Of substituting clay or mortar
for wax and propolis.' Just at this time
another naturalist, Andrew Knight, made
a cement Of wax and turpentine and with
it coated the bark Of trees. The bees at
once used this new and unknown build
ing material, which they found already
prepared, and ceased gathering propolis
altogetheT-thus proving that they not
only had new idea but acted upon 1t.

portion. The eagerly sought black rose
is still unproduced, though a New York
florist has a daTk-red one. which in some
lights has the appearance of black velvet.
Violet-growing In this country has en-
countcred numerous obstacles. the chief
of which is that the sweet violet is not
a native of America at all. and must be
carefully cultivated and closely watched
to make it bloom successfully. Violets
are the least prolific of all the flowers,
and less amenable to change. There are
not more than 200 varieties of violets in
the world, and the distinct families can
be counted on the fingers OF one hand.
Their home is Europe and Asia
The chrysanthemum is just now on the
pinnacle of its popularity though its
favor in America has been fiuctuating for
q hundred years. The hardy little garden
variety that delighted the souls OF our
grandmothers has been revived and made
popular within the year by brides and de-
butantes and all the neophytes Of the So
cial world.

ORIGINALITY VS.. PEDAGOGY.

Originality and humor are often found
in the expressions which children give TO
their ideas. These expressions should not
be discouraged. for in them a teacher Of
ten finds relief from the stcreotyped an
swers usually given.
A boy in one school was asked after
reading THE Courtship of Miles stand
ish:"
"What finally happened TO Priscilla and
John Alden?'
Oh said he, they married and be-
came a couple"
Slang is. of course, Objectionable, but
to most boys It is a fund Of expression.
This was no doubt a schOOlboy's opinion
when he was asked TO state the relation
between the French and Indians in the
early colony days.
"The Indians" he said. were inclined
TO be friendly, but if the French wished
10 fight, the Indians were there with the
goods"
What is circle?'' was asked a small
child who said;

years. The citizens of Newport, Cincin-

the yard to step on the flower beds as

The lion saw the dog enter the yard
and the dog just barely saw the lion.
"Crunch!" That was all. It was the
sound made by Henry eating the dog.
