A NEGLECTED. SALUTE.

An anecdote is told of one of the
sons of the German emperor which
shows that the faults of youth are
common to all ranks, and that prin-
ces, no less than ordinary boys, re-
quire to be trained in the way they
should go.
This little prince was great favor
lite, and his winning ways made him
very popular. 1t was always his de-
light to receive the military salute
when he passed through the palace
gates, and for this reason he looked
forward to his daily walk with his
tutor.
But in the nursery he was inclined
to be unruly, and there was at one
time great trouble in making him
take his morning bath. One day, to
his surprise, when he rebelled, he
was allowed to go without it, and he
thought he had certainly gained the
upper hand.
Later in the morning, when he
passed the sentinel, the usual salute
was not given. He stormed and ragged,
but no notice was taken. AT luncheon,
the little prince, with tears of wrath,
complained of the insult which had
been offered him, fully expecting the
immediate punishment Of the senti-
mel.
But the emperor only shook his
head. What else could you expect?"
he said. Surely you did not imagine
that the guard would salute dirty
boy?"
After this there was no more
trouble about the morning tubs

one of his inspired moments, IF there
were no dogs into whose honest
faces he could look without distrust?"
A dog will follow a handful of rags
wrapped around homeless beggar,
day after day, through heat and cold
and storm and starvation, just as
faithfully as he will follow the pur-

The dog who stood over the life

faithful breast a nobler heart than
that which beats in the bosom of most

worthy the marble tribute which to-

There has never been recorded in
the history of the world an instance
of more extravagant trust and devo-

COUGAR AFRA ~ :. MAN.
Regarding the cougar, the largest
member of the feline family in the
United States, it may be said that it
Is blessed with more than a rightful
share of names. In one section it is
the panther, somewhere else it is
termed mountain lion, in another To-
cality it is called puma, and the old
time backwoodsman will tell you
blood curdling stories of the painter.
In northeastern Washington it is gem
orally spoken of as the cougar.
The writer, in long life spent with
rifle and trap, has hunted and killed
these animals in their native haunts
and can bear witness to one truth re-
garding them wherever found or
under whatever name-their habits
are identical.
Among many people-and this in
cludes those who should know bet
ter-this animal is looked upon as
very dangerous. Awe-inspiring stor-
les are told of the cougar springing
from a rocky ledge or an overhang-
ing tree and rending the hapless
wayfarer passing beneath. These an
ecdotes have been heard by all and
believed by many, nor will 1 deny
that such things may have occurred.
llIt ~ ic n fhot l1,
al! these stories are exaggerated, and
many of them are downright lies.
Thirty years ago, in company with
an old and experienced frontiers
man, was shooting deer, elk and
bear, and selling the meat to gang
of tie cutters in the Rocky Noun
tains. Cougars We're more abundant
than ever saw them elsewhere; yet
it was perfectly safe to roam the
woods at will. Rolled in my blankets.
| have passed many a night under the
sheltering branches of some big tree
without even a fire to scare these ami
mails away.
l was never attacked by one unless
it was cornered or perhaps so badly
wounded as to be unable to get
away. Under these conditions nearly
any animal will fight.
The cougar, when followed by the
hunter on foot, will often double on
its trail, make long loop and hide
until its pursuer passes, and then per-
haps take the back track for miles.
After long chase the man with the
gun comes along still hanging to the
trail and discovers where the animal
lay and watched him go by-possibly
upon some overhanging rock efrom
which, had it been so disposed, it
might have pounced upon its enemy
and torn him to shreds, or perhaps
behind a log under which it had
scratched a peep-hole.
There are many old trappers living
in the haunts of these animals who
have never seen cougar except in
a trap. All the large cats are afraid
of mankind and retire quietly at the
approach of the enemy.-Sports

BEES AND HONEY.

Only the initiated have any ideas
as to the actual contents and work
ings of modern beehive. The old
fashioned box hive is no more. at
least in New England. The standard
hive is an oblong wooden box. In
side there are eight or ten nova
BILE frames. which are ordinarily wir-
ed and furnished with wax paper
foundation before being given to the
bees.
Amid these frames the bees live
and rear their numerous progeny.
When time and conditions are favor
able the bee keeper puts super"
or two on the hive, these "supers"
being filled with the little wooden
boxes, which the bees subsequently
fill with surplus honey, and these the
beekeeper later takes from the hive.
An ordinary swarm in the height
of the season consists of forty thous-
and bees-the mother, or queen, the
workers and the drones. The mother
bee in the busy time lays three or
four thousand eggs day; for this
she has her being These eggs de-
velop into larvae, which attendant
bees feed with bee bread, mixture
of pollen and honey; then when the
larvae have completed this stage Of
their existence these nurse bees seal
them in their waXen cells and leave
them to develop to the insect stage
the busy bee.
From the egg to the bee requires
twenty-one days. Then the young bee
acts in hive for few days as nurse
bee, and later takes her place among
the busy workers. The drone
is the stingless and defence
less male bee, and when his raison
etre is completed the bees merci
lessly kill him no drone being allow
ed to winter over and consume the
precious store.
Most interesting of all the bees,
however, is the queen mother Once
noted, she is easily distinguished ever
after by her long, slender body and
weak wings, both from the strong
winged workers and the burly drones.
While the life of the worker is per-
haps not more than six weeks in the
honey gathering season. the queen
may live for years, though should
she outlive her usefulness, nature is
pitiless and her children fall upon
her and kill her.
Tue honey outfit of the land is
worth millions of dollars. Why the
New England farmer has abandoned
his beehive may well be asked. Per-
haps with a weaker physique, he has
acquired stronger dread of the sting
Of some disgruntled bee.
Whether there is money in bees or
not depends on the man, just as in
any other business. Certainly bees are
wonderfully interesting and instruc-
tive, and more healthful sweet than
their honey nature does not provide
