The Females Place Amono Birds.

There is probably no gallantry
among the birds, except at the mat
ing season. l have frequently seen
the male woodpecker drive the fe-
male away from the bone upon the
tree. When she hoped around to
the other end and timidly nibbled 1t.
he would presently dart spitefully at
her. She would then take up her
position In his rear and wait until
he had finished his meal. The posi-
ton OF the female among the birds
is very much the same as that of
woman among savage tribes Most
of the drudgery of life falls upon her.
and the leavings of the males are
often her lot.-John Burroughs.

Bee TO Aid Japan.

A tiny American bee is about to be
charged with task beyond the power
Of man to accomplish-a task which
means nothing less than changing the
agricultural status of a nation. If
successful-and results already indi-
cate favorable progress of the expert
ment-it will mean wealth and pros
perity for hundreds OF farmers in
Japan. Instead of trying unsuccess-
fully to raise fruits, such as apples
and pears, the soil-tillers of the
Land of the Cherry Blossom" will
yield in abundance, and the natives
will rejoice in luscious fruits and de-
licious vegetables which, because of
the lethargy of their native bee and
its failure to carry pollen, it has been
impossible for them to raise.
The bee to which this task is as
signed is the golden bee. 1t is raised
in America and was produced by an
American. and already many little
queen golden bees have been sent to
Japan to begin their task
The native Japanese bee is an in
dolent thing and does little more than
crawl about to meet the needs of it's
day. Because of its apathy it has
been Impossible to cultivate such
fruits as apples and pears and such
vegetables as cucumbers, tomatoes
and melons. The male and female
blossoms of the bellhower varieties
of fruits and vegetables are usually
so far apart that it is necessary for
some agent of nature to carry the
pollen. In many other countries the
busy little bee, in it's search for
honey, is the means of qualification.
In Japan the bees simply refuse to
work -HarDer's Weekly

LOOKS BAD FOR ICEMEN
The Mild Weather Said to Be Very
General Even Far North Of New
York State.

The total absence Of ice in this vicin-
ity is bad enough for the local ice
dealers. but according to reports from
other localities. the condition is wide
spread. A dealer, who lately returned
from a trip to Montreal, states that
similar sprinklike weather prevailed all
along his route, both going and return
ing. There is an almost total absence
of ice along the Hudson, and the only
fresh cut ice seen by the dealer was
barely eight inches in thickness, and Of
a very poor quality, being soft and
spongy While it is possible, of course,
to have much severe weather between
now and next April the sun will be
growing higher in the heavens every
day now. and when the ice is not
harvested before February / there is
rarely a full harvest gathered.
Even il a supply is obtained in the
far north, it means very dear ice for
the consumers next summer, unless
there can be a supply obtained nearer
home.

Of this annoying trouble. That only means
that one in every six Wilmingtonians Is
IN. Judging from some of my experiences
recently, might almost conclude that
the proportion is higher, and that one in
four or FIVE Wnmingtonians is ill., but
one in six is conservative.

This does not mean that he has gone
to the point of stretching the possible
Ties for the sake Of dramatic situations.
Such critics as have already seen the
piece declare that his story is perfectly
probable and could happen in every
day life. and his Incidents and cii-
makes are worked out in a very logical
manner. but it is In the method of
their solution that the merit lies.
