Little Bobby on Bees.

Little Bobby wrote an essay on bees
as follows:
'The bee Is queer sort of an insect,
that gives people a few points that
they don't appreciate. The queen bee

A Novel Two-Part Hook.

Mr.. Elias Carlson of Kalama, Cow
litz county, Wash, has invented a
two-part hook so designed that it can
not accidentally be unlocked. AS
shown in the accompanying engrav-
ing, the improved device consists of
two overlapping hook members mount
ed to swing upon a bolt to which the
usual shackle is secured. Contrary
to the common practice, the hook
members swing laterally toward each
other, that is, the axis is parallel TO
the general planes of the hook mem
bers instead of being at right angles
thereto, as in previous two-part
hooks. The overlapping portions of
the hook members are flattened at
their adjacent sides, so that when
they are swung TO closed position the
ends will offer no projecting obstruc-
ton to the free movement of cable
within the closed hook. In this po-

Japanese Lacquer.

Japanese lacquer is the most beau
tiful material of the kind in the
world, and it has recently been the
subject of a special study by two
chemists, Messfs. A. Tschirch and r
Stevens, whose results are published
in the Archiven der Pharmazie. The
special qualities of Japanese lacouer
are its brilliance, its great hardness
and toughness, and its resistance to
acids, alcohol and boiling water. II

in China as well as in japan. and
may be seen as an ornamental tree IN
Europe. The best gum comes from
the foot of the tree in the hottest
weather of summer. The art of bleed.

and cooling the lacquer. Finely mi.

coffee drinking and by changing from
coffee to Postum.
2. Give name and account of one or
more coffee drinkers who have been
hurt by it and have been induced -
quit and use Postum.
3. Do you know any one who has
been driven away from Postum be-
cause it came to the table weak and
characterless at the first trial?
4. Did you set such a person right
regarding the easy way to make it
clear, black, and with snappy. rich
taste?
5. Have you ever found better
way to make it than to use four heap
ing teaspoonfuls to the pint of water,
let stand on stove until real boiling
begins, and beginning at that time
when actual boiling starts, boil full Is
minutes more to extract the flavor and
food value. GA piece of butter the size

This contest is confined to those who
have used Postum prior to the date
of this advertisement.

poetry or fanciful letters, just plain,
truthful statements.
Contest will close June 1st, 1907, and
no letters received after that date will
be admitted. Examinations of letters
will be made by three Judges, not

to 1926 persons.
Every friend of Postum is urged to

high esteem by the company, as an
evidence of such friendship, while the
little boxes of gold and envelopes of
money will reach many modest writer's
whose plain and sensible letters con-
tain the facts desired, although the
sender may have but small faith in
winning at the time of writing.
Talk this subject over with your
friends and see how many among you
can win prizes. 1t is good, honest
competition and in the best kind of
cause, and costs the competitors abso-
lutely nothing.
