ARRIVAL OF THE PRINCE

Bv the merest chance 1t was that Prince Aziel happened that way. Not long before this time his father, the king, had announced his intention Of abdicatlng the throne in favor of the prince. But before he gave up his power he resolved to choose a wife for the prince, in order that an heir to the throne might be assured. The prince himself was too deeply interested In his studies to think of marrying. nor did ne care a tot about being king. To escape heinz reproached for his neglect. he de- cided to travel a little while in out-of- the-way places. with but few attend ants. Thus he came upon TrouVai-
 "'Tis more than passing stranger nurnured Prince Aziel. as he stood unon the bank of the lake. scarcely re- nressing a shudder at the forbidding image reflected where his face should have been. Beside him were grouped his retainers, and a little way beyond stood a crowd of gaping townsfolk' But the prince saw none of them, so busy was he thinking of this weird mys- tery.
 ''Who is there to explain tnls sFahsS thing?" he demanded loudly.
 No one answered. The villagers had become SO used to the possession Of their lake that they had long ceased to regard 1t as wonderful. and with their ancestors had died the secret of it's mir rorings.
 At last one old man spake in quaver- ing voice. "Perchance Father Veillard may know He is very wise old man who dwens in hut upon the mountain side. and he is even older than We yes. much older"

 RESTING DOVES
 At last his travels brought him to UIwar. which lay thirty leagues to the south Of Delhi. He toiled up the steep hill whsreon the city was built. until he reached the fortress on its very sum- init. After an inspection of the mag nificent palace of the maharajah, he made his way to the sacred tank of Ul- war. where was stored holy water. taken from the Ganges.
 Pajub's heart beat quicker upon his arrival at the sacred tank. For there. covering the roof of a little pavilion overlooking the sacred water, was a flock of doves But so had he been in- spired with hope on many similar oc- casions; and always had he been dis- appointed. Fastening his steps, how ever, he soon gained the pavilion. Here he made adoration to the great god.
 THE SECRET REVEALED
 Gazing into the holy water, he thought of the legend in the Sacred Book of Ramayana. He thought of the story, told him while yet a child. of how Bhagirathi. after 3o.oo0 years of pleading from his father and grandfather. besought Vishnu to cre- ate the Himalayas. Ganga was the daughter Of the HimaIayas. and with her waters could the dust of Bhagi- rathfs ancestors be baptized, in order that they might ascend to happiness in the company of the gods. There was much virtue in the Ganges. or Ganga. which had its source in a mountainous ice cavern, said to be the matted hair of Siva- And as the water before him was of the Ganges.

THREE HUNDRED BILLION BEES
AT WORK.

Three hundred billion bees made
enough honey last year to fill a train
of cars long enough to reach from New
York to Buffalo. At the low wholesale
rate Of ten cents q pound 1t was worth
sos. ono 600, and If the 10000 bee keepers
OF the country had worked as industri-
ously and skillfully as did the bees the
weight OF the output would have been
three times as great and the value $780,
900 600.
Not only did the little workers contri-
butte that vast supply Of a pure and deli
cious food product to the nation but as
they made II they treated It antisepucal-
ly with formio acid thus preventing I'm
purities or decay.
In one year the bee hives sent to mar
ket product worth nearly as much as
| the barley crop; three times as much MS
the buckwheat crop; 100000 greater
than the rye crop and nearly 100000
greater than the rice crop All of the
rice and buckwheat grown on an ag-
gregatea area OF 2,12613 square miles
did not reach TO the value of the honey
