Luxurious Beehives,

A schoolmaster in a small German
town, being very fond of bees, resolved
to build for them something novel in
the way Of home. AS beehives are
generally of the same size. color and
shape, it is sometimes difficult for a
bee to find his own particular home,
so it came about that this kind
hearted Schoolmaster decided to give
each Of his hives some distinguishing
mark. so the buildings represent an
inn, castle, house, cottage. windmill.
etc. There are also number Of ami
mails, including an elephant carved
from wood. closely resembling their
living brothers. The owner is natu-

Mr.. Reader Harris. X. c.. was once

returned the brief on conscientious

It with d note in which he explained
that his refusal was due to matter
of principle. Subsequently he met one
of the directors of the company and
expressed hope that he and his col

How Snakes Get Over Ground.

How Snakes Get Over Ground.
Although the snake appears to have
NO legs or feet. it may be said to be
practically supplied with upward of
hundred pairs Of them. In fact, each
Joint of the backbone bears a pair Of
ribs, which are mobile and have their
points attached to the inner surface of
one of the large transverse, platelike
scales which clothe the undersurface
Of the body. Thus by the movements
Of the ribs attached to it each plate
can be drawn forward and it's margin
applied to the ground. By the success
sive application Of these multitudinous
plates the body can be drawn forward
in q straight line without its being
thrown into undulations from side to
aide. But rapid movements are also ef-
fected by such fluctuations, and SER
penis can by pressure and appropriate
muscular action climb trees and some
times spring forward. They also swim
easily by lateral textures. but no SER
penis advance by vertical bendings Of
the body, though they are so often
drawn in such an attitude.
The Coughing Bean.
TO the ordinary housemaid the fall
ing of a house plant into violent
paroxysm of coughing is naturally
disconcerting. Yet there are plants
which will do this when the broom
or the buster begins to make dust fly.
This singular plant is the coughing
beam" known 10 the botanist as the
Eutada tussiens. 1t is a native of
warm and moist tropical countries and
cannot and will not stand dust. When
dust settles upon the breathing pores
in the leaves Of this plant and chokes
them a gas accumulates inside the
leaves and when it gains suf1i cient
strength forcibly "blows off," clearing
the pores Of dust and making a sound
exactly like coughing. At the same
time the leaves tremble and the plant
actually "gets red in the face" through
the sinking of the greer. chlorophyll
grains and the appearance Of red par
ticles on the leaves. This plant is
sometimes used as house plant. and

rience, and you can judge for yourself
what to do. When we returned from

at least nine pairs Of silk hose, things
that he had never had on. They had
been tucked away in all sorts OF

nized as presents had given to him

English Difficult to Pronounce.
The difficulty Of English for stran-
gers does not lie in its photography,
but in it's pronunciation. Abroad peo-
pie will constantly say that they can
read and write English readily. while
unable to utter word or to under
stand a word of the. spoken language.
as, Of course, vice versa. great many
English and Americans can read and
write French long before they can un.
derstand or make themselves under
stood. The other languages are just
as difficult for them to pronounce as
English is for others. The only diff
ference is that English stands alone
with it's system or lack Of system OF
pronunciation. When a Frenchman
knows how to write German he Is at
the same time able to speak the Ian
guage, if not beautifully. at least so
as to be understood. The same holds
for a German speaking French.-Pro'

Fargo Is a City Of Churches

Fargo has "a church organiza-
lions and % church buildings
These religious bodies have an active
membership Of fully 5000. Something
like $500 children attend Sunday
school while approximately 5000 peo-
pie belong 20 the young peoples So
cieties and mems organizations that
are AFFILIATED with these bodies. With
the exception of the members Of the
Jewish church all are christians.
In addition to those who are mem
bers OF the local church organizations,
q large part OF the remainder are mem
bers OF a church in some other com
munity, having not transferred their
memberships to the local organiza-
lions. 1t is estimated that fully 5000
people attend church at least once
week
This is a remarkable showing for a
city of this size and is one of the
many things Fargoans are proud Of.
The fact Of Fargo being city Of
churches has been one of the things
attractive to people seeking new To-
cations. To the homeseeker there are
two things that are always investi-
gated-the educational and religious
advantages. This is especially true of
those who are looking for good COM

Moral surroundings are of vital i'm
portance. The morality of a town can
usually be determined by the number
and condition of the churches. This
is a convincing proof of Fargos NOR
iality.
Churches Valued at $75o0O0.
The prosperity of the churches of
Fargo can be shown in no better way
than by the beautiful edivices that
have be erected as places of worship.
1t Is estimated that the value of the
church property is about three-quart-
ers Of a million dollars, all but a very
small portion Of which is fully paid
for and the congregations out of debt.
This is another remarkable showing,
especially so when it is taken into con-
sideration that all of this has been
accomplished within the last thirty
eight years. 1t gives evidence of not

Headquarters for State Divisions.
Aside from being the home of many
local churches. Fargo also has the dis
tinction Of being the residence OF two
bishops, who have for their dioceses
the entire state OF North Dakota
These are the Roman Catholic and
Episcopal bishops. II is also the head
quarters for the Fargo district Of the
Methodist Episcopal church, the dis
trict embracing the south half Of the
state. and the Presbetry OF Fargo and
the Presbetry OF Cakes OF the Presby-
terrain church. taking in the south
eastern part Of the state.
Because Of its being the headquart-
ers for these larger divisions of church
administration and because OF the fact
Of the good railroad and hotel facilities
the city is often the scene of large
church meetings which bring within
it's gates hundreds OF people from all
parts of the state.
