have been heard from; day after day
new testimony Is thrust forward from
some greater or lesser locality and in.

public satisfaction Il sounded, and the

We might wish, out Of sheer respect
for the Presidents own personal desires

upon what has been given out as his
dictum in the important proposition,

Two Women.
per Bazaar,

A woman whose altogether unintelli-
gible and incoherent remarks branded
her Enthusiastically as a proud parent,
was wheeling an exceedingly small
child of perhaps 2 years next Thurs
day down Prospect avenue yesterday
afternoon in one of those upright baby
carriages, says Cleveland newspaper.
The remarks mentioned were addressed
to this child in q series of suppressed
shrieks and gurgles.
AS the woman continued to push the
small conveyance down the street,
stopping ever and anon to ask the
child something, they approached an
other woman who was leading a French
poodle by a small chain. The dog wore
a cute little ga blanket and was
clipped to look as if the barber had
started on it and then thought of
previous engagement.
At the sight of the dog the woman
with the baby fairly dubbed over with
ecstacy. 1t had Immediately struck
her that the sight of the dog would at

thetic sense and that the baby would
derive a great deal of pleasure from
viewing the dog as it passed by. For
fear, however, that the baby would not
realize what was up the fond mother
sought to convey the information by
means of multiplicity of half inartic-
ulate gurgles and gesticulations that
certain dog was about to pass. "See
the pretty doggie," was the only thing
she said in English, but her remarks
were along that line. In the meantime
the woman with the dog had come up
to them and the mother heard someone
saying, "See the coot little baby. Just
ook at the little baby" The mother
turned from the baby to look at the
dog, and then her expression changed
to one of polite scorn.
The other woman had the dog in her
arms and was showing the baby to it.

INTELLIGENCE OF THE BEE.

Transported to California, She
Ceases to Deserve Name of Busy.
1t would be easy without appealing
to any prehistoric event to bring to-
gether a number Of facts that would
show that the faculty of adaptation
and intelligent progress is not reserved
exclusively Tor the human race.
Transported to Australia or Califor-
mia, our black bee completely alters her
habits After one or two years, finding
that summer is perpetual and flowers
forever abundant, she will live from
day to day, content to gather the honey
and pollen Indispensable for the days
consumption, and her recent and
thoughtful observation triumphing over
hereditary experience she will cease to
make provision for her winter. Buch-
ner mentions an analogous fact, which
also proves the bees adaptation to cir
cumstances, not slow, secular, uncon-
scious and fatal, but immediate and
intelligent in Barbados the bees,
whose hives are in the midst of the
refineries, where they find sugar in
plenty during the whole year, will en-
tirely abandon their visits to the flow
ers.
Let us lastly recall the amusing con-
tradiction which the bees gave to two
learned entomologists, Kirby and
Spence:
"Show u.s. said these, "a single case
in which under stress of circumstances
the bees have had the idea of substi-
tuting clay or mortar for wax and
propolis and We will admit their rea-
soning faculties"
Hardly had they expressed this some
what arbitrary wish when another nat
uralist Andrew Knight, having coat
ed the bark of certain trees with sort
of cement made of wax and turpentine,
observed that his bees entirely ceased
to gather propolis and used only this
new and unknown substance, which
they found prepared for them in album
dance in the neighborhood of their
home. Moreover, in the practice Of
agriculture when pollen is scarce the
beekeeper has but to place at their dis
posal few pinches of -four for them
to understand at once that this can
serve the same purpose and be turned
to the same use as the dust of the
anthers, although it's taste, smell and
color are absolutely different.-Mau-
