HOW FLOWERS HOLD HONEY.
Pits Into Which Bee Must Delve in
the Lily.

From the Chicago Tribune
Before 1.-The bee sucks as Ariel put it,
he must find the wonderful places where
the flowers hide away their honey, to be
found like the priests hiding holes in an
cient mansions by the right sort of visitor,
and to keep away all tntruders.
In the recesses Of the crown imperial
lily at the center can be seen six large
honey pits. one on every floral leaf, and
each is trimming over with a big drop
of honey and glistening like tear drop.
Shake the flower and 1t 'weeps" the
big drops fall from 1t. soon to be replaced
by other tears In the rapidly secreting
flower The simple folks call the flower
Jobs tear.
The snowdrop is literally flowing with
honey, for in swollen veins traversing it's

and deliberately designed with a view to
providing good places Of hiding for the
honey. Each Is circular, hollow shaped,
like q horn. In each the honey is secret
ed in a round knob at what would be the
mouthpiece end Of the horn. and the five
are arranged in a ring side by side with
the honey knobs aloft. Though the honey
store is obvious from without, yet the in
sects who would sip it must creep into the
flower and penetrate with a long nose up
the curving horn to the knob.
Sometimes the petals are all Joined to-
pether into a tube and the sweet nectar
simply exudes from the inner side OF the
wall and collects at the bottom. This Is
the case in the dead nettle. the tube OF
which forms so toothsOme morsel
that some children call II "suckles." The
honeysuckle is similarly planned and it's
sweetness is so striking as to have fur
nished its name.
The monkshood has quaint nectaries. II

springs into sight two objects on long
stalks which are sometimes like French
horn. sometimes like a cowl, or, looked at
sideways, not unlike a pair OF doves. Their

Sentiment and Summer.
from the Springfleld (Mass) Republican.

Nothing is more beautiful in the myriad
phenomena OF summertide than the swift
response Of the grasses in some delectabe
valley, where they are all in their joyous
poisoning and fruiting. and among them
are shining with gorgeous color the mead
ow lilies and the tall cups of their kindred
at the edges of the woods and over the
borders of the brooks. 1t is like a scene
OF enchantment. and the song sparrows
and orioles, the bobolinks and the gay
catbirds are the choir of rninistrants at
the worship of God. All this We have
had, and pervading all the fervor of the
splendid sunlight moves the melting fra

and thereby stores our senses with such
delights as they remember and recall
