How Bees Divide Labor.

My experiments have revealed the
fact that the division of labor among
bees is carried to a surprising extent,
says Professor CASTOR BONNER.
Bees which are seeking for pollen
or nectar do not carry it, but mere
ly carry the news to the hive.
A number of bees are sent out to
strip the flowers, a number carrying
pollen only, others nectar only, 9TH
ers again water only when water is
needed. The number sent out is
proportional to the number of flow
ers to be stripped, and by marking
the bees with colored tale it was
proved that each bee confined itself
for the time being to one class of
work
The same bee might be seeking for
flowers in the morning and collecting
in the afternoon, but did not change
the nature of it's work without re-
turning to the hive.
There seemed to be something in
the nature of working arrangement
between bees of different hives, as
when the work of clearing a certain
area of flowers had once been COM
menced by a few bees from one hive
these collectors were not interfered
with by the bees from other hives

A Picture Idol.

A few years ago my uncle started
to New Mexico, hoping to find a good
model among the Indians for a pic
ture he was painting. When he left
the train he engaged horse and
guide to take him to the nearest en-
campment. There was a third horse,
on which the food, clothing and ar
lists kit were packed. After travel
ing a day or so they reached a camp
of Sioux Indians, who received them
in a friendly manner. Many of the
braves were willing to have their pic
lures drawn for few beads and bits
of bright cloth. When ny uncle's
back was turned the s. amused
themselves in looking { MS port

other camp.
About a week later my uncle
opened his portfolio, and noticed
that large painting of a girl was
missing. AS he priced it very much,
he sent the guide back to the Sioux
camp for it.
The guide returned empty handed
and said that the Indians had be-
come very angry when he asked for
the picture. 1t seems that they had
put it in a wigwam, with all their
idols, and worshipped it. Though my
uncle wanted the picture very much,
he thought it best not to anger the
Indians by taking it.-Woodward b.

she thought. And as she searched
the pantry for crumbs, she kept won
dering what she could do.
That night she went back to the
playhouse, went up to little chair
where a wee dolly sat, and catching
her dress in her mouth, carried her
down the side of the playhouse, away
across the floor, to the dusty closet
where Cutey Wee sat alone in the
little overshoe, and put her down be.
side her.
Did ever a Mrs. Mouse do such a
thing before? Did ever spoiled
mouse baby have such a gift brought
her? Or did ever little doll have
such an adventure?
Don't think l have made this all
up. No, indeed! I was little, little
girl then, and the dollhouse was mine.
And | missed the little dresses, and
| missed the little doll, and Lo one
could understand the strange way in
which they had disappeared. Then
one day the little red-lined overshoe
was found in the closet, and mother
showed it to me.
| saw them there myself, all the
little clothes l had lost, and the little
doll Arabella, and sitting by her
was Cutey Wee.-Laura Mackay in
Little Folks.

Cutey Wee.

The closet under the stairs at the
end of the hall was dark and dusty.
1t was never used except to store
things not in use-or if the children
played Indian, when it served as te
pee for the squaws.
If mother wanted to find anything
in the closet, she had to swing the
not very light, SO it is no wonder
that, in a shadowy corner, long after
winter things were put away till an
other season, one little warm red-lined
overshoe lay unseen and forgotten.
In front of this overshoe a little
gray mouse stood one day in delight
ed surprise. 1 am sure she stood up
on her hind feet and clapped her
front ones, and said, IF this isn't
just the place for Cutey Wee!"
Now Cutey Wee was a very much
petted and spoiled little mouse baby.
They had lived in the cellar; but the
nest was destroyed, and only little
Cutey Wee had been rescued. And
now, if Mrs Mouse wasn't thinking
about her, Mr.. Mouse was, and they
would go from roof to cellar if Cutey
Wee gave her tiniest squeak.
So Mr.. Mouse was brought to the
closet to look at the little red-lined
overshoe, and of course he agreed with
Mrs Mouse, and so the family moved.
which means only that Cutey Wee
was brought to the closet and dropped
into the overshoe.
Because of the elegance of this
new apartment, Mrs. Mouse began to
put on airs. She was not afraid of
anybody, and she was interested in
everything. / saw her stand on her
hind feet in front of book after book
on the lowest bookshelf, looking up
at them, and / suppose she was think
ing of Cutey Wees going to school.
But the dollhouse attracted her
most. She studied over the little
chairs and swinging cradles. and
wonder why she did not think of NOV
ing in there, for everything was just
the right size. But before little
wardrobe she stood fascinated, and
When she left the playhouse, she held
by her teeth little white dress, only
two inches long, with blue bows on
the shoulders.
Look" she cried to Mr.. Mouse
when she got home, this is for Cut
ey Vice."
Do you suppose Cutey Wee put it
on, bows and all. and sat there in
the little overshoe? Well. even if
she didn't, Mrs. Mouse knew it was
what the dolls had, and nothing was
too good for Cutey Wee.
Nor was that all. Whether Cutey
Wee squeaked, Mamma, | must have
a hat" / do not knew, but Mrs
Mouse brought her hats and caps and
coats and more dresses. al. from the
dollhouse.
SO Cutey Wee sat in the midst of
her finery, more of a spoiled little
mouse than ever. Yet Mrs. Mouse
looked at her little daughter anxious
ly.
I'm afraid Cutey Wee is lonely"

Observed in Animals.

A zoologist thus writes upon a
point in which he claims that the
lower animals. set an example to
many men, says Chums:
1T has taken human beings many
hundreds of years to acquire habits
of neatness and cleanliness, whereas
the animals have always possessed
them. From the time when they
first made their appearance on earth
animals have washed and combed and
brushed themselves with tongue,
claws and TAIL Many of them grow
wretched and languish if deprived of
any opportunity of taking a cold bath.
AS for the apes, they are such stick
lers for cleanliness that they expel
any member of the tribe who shows
a disposition to shirk his duties in
this respect. Even the insects show
a scrupulous regard for neatness, as
anybody who has watched fly
brushing itself with it's feet, for in
stance, will readily admit
