Bitten by a Spider.

Through blood poisoning caused
by spider bite, John Washing-
ton, of Bosqueville, Tex, would
have lost his leg, which became a

SATURDAY. TALK

My Dear Boys and Girls:
Dame Nature has so much to attend to
on this great earth of ours that II she
didn't put some of her children to SLEEP
there would be no getting on with such q
big family. Winter is great cleaning
time for the dear old lady; she sends the
birds South, while she covers the North
with coating of snow and ice which make
nice counterpanes for the flowers, and they
nestle under the warm brown sod ana grow
silently until they are ready to peep above
the ground Then it is springtime Dame
Nature hns shaken her duster and the
sleepy ones begin to rouse up. 1t is theh'
when fragrance fills the air, that the bees
begin to hum softly in their hives, where
they have been working IN n doing way
through the winter, einging together in
great heavy clusters Now that the flow
ers have come the bees are eager to be
out In the air working to store up honey,
for 1t is their life to work, and they have
only a short time-from April to Septem-
ber.
II YOU are ever fortunate enough to
look through n glass or observation hive
and begin to know something about the
bees YOU will find IL very interesting. All
you see at first is a mnss OF llttle reddlsl
groups that look like coffee berries or
lunches of raisins. piled against the glass
and they move slowly, quite unlike the
quick darting creatures flashing and
sparkling In the sunlight among he How
ers; this is when they are busy making
wax with which TO build the storehouses
for their honey.
They really lead a wonderful life; the
hive is a royal palace, in which the queen
Is ruler and the thousands of subjects VINO
cluster around her have their various
duties 1t Is the females who are for
ever busy--the males are the drones-and
after the queen has selected her husband
from among them, the rest are killed, be-
cause they are useless, and even the
bridegroom perhaps on his wedding day;
indeed the drones are only allowed to
live at all that each new queen may have
a choice of her husbands.
The drones are handsomer than the hard
working lady bees, but there is no ambi-
tion among them; they sit and eat the
precious stores of honey and are quite
willing to let the women folk do all the
work-rnnlke the wax cells for the palace,
gather the honey. store II, guard the
queen and the royal family and keep
every place in order. There are certain
rules and laws laid down for the little
community by which they are governed
aud they work from hour to hour, from
day to day, as long as they live, with
no hope OF reward--a fitting example TO
many boys and girls. Yours truly.

the air in that space Is rarefied or made
