A WISE MONKEY.

In Barbados the monkeys FREE
quently injure the sugar cane. AS a
general thing, however, they are in
offensive creatures, and the average
planter regards them with good-nat-
ured tolerance. Once in while.
however, they commit little too
much damage on the growing cane,
and an example has to be made of one
poor culprit by shooting member OF
any particular troop of monkeys that
may be found near the scene of de-
struction. Exposing the dead body as
warning is usually sufficient, and
the cane is no longer attacked.
On one occasion great damage had
beer perpetrated, and the planter
Clarence Agard, now residing in st.
Lucy, Barbadoes-went out with his
gun to act as executioner. He sue
ceeded in isolating one stray simian
in tree that was detached from all
adjacent shrubbery. The poor ami
NAL, realizing that it was trapped,
rushed up to the topmost end of the
branch and looked in the most APP
pealing manner at the man below.
The latter finally raised his gun, and
was on the point of pressing the trig-
ger when the monkey suddenly took
a little infantile replica of itself from
its back and held it out in the most
supplicating way conceivable.
The planter, who is fond of ami
mails. had his heart quite touched,
ord ha ornm-,flv 10wored hiS Gun
companion, however, in his endeavor
to see what else the poor simian
would do, raised his gun, and appar-
emily once moro its life was in dan
ger. Then ensued most striking
exhibition of animal reasoning. The
monkey at once grasped the fact that
her first claim for consideration had
apparently failed. and the only reason
her intelligence could suggest for the
failure was that the infant simian
was not regarded as her own genuine
offspring.
What was to be done? How could
she convince these two human brutes
that she really was a sad and dis
tressed mother? A happy thought oc-
Cured to her. She plucked leaf
from the tree, held it close to her
breast and then pressed the breast till
a few drops of milk exuded. Then
she dropped the leaf, and again held
up her baby to the gaze of the as
founded men below. Needless TO say.
she escaped with her life.-Lcndon

Typewriter News.

The typewriter news sheet that
has had to be issued in Stockholm
because Of the general strike to take
the place of the regular printed
newspaper suggests a quaint echo
from the earliest days of English
journalism. 1t was in 1896 that Icha-
bod Dawks, a"London correspond.
emit of the original sort, hit upon
the idea of issuing his news letter
printed in type to initiate writing,
the first number being thus announc.
ed: This letter will be done upon
good writing paper, and blank
space left, that any gentleman may
write his own private business. It does
undoubtedly exceed the best of the
written news, contains double the
quantity, is read with abundance
more ease and pleasure, and will be
useful to improve the younger sort
in writing curious hand" Dawks
proudly held in after years that he
thus enabled his readers to know
"the Occurrences of the Day, and
the Heads of the Foreign Mails, which
come in many times after the Pub
lication of the Printed Papers, so
that they may have the chiefest news
stirring"

Weekly Review of Trade and
Market Reports.

r. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trade says:
Overshadowing all other Develop
ments Of the week is the advance In
the Bank of England rate Of dis
count to 5 per cent. AS the advance
to 8 per cent about three years ago
was, as it were, the raising of
storm signal, SO the present advance
is, as is said by Sir Felix Schuster,
a sign OF trade revival. OF course,
there are special reasons, such as
England's desire to protect her gold
supply and the banking caution
against the danger of overspecula-
ton, but, in the large, the advance
Is development of prosperity. In
the United States every report Of the
week ranges from moderate improve
ment to extraordinary buoyancy.
The adv!5es from the leading cities
are uniformly favorable, with espec-
tally brilliant reports from the West
ern centers. AS against these ac-
cumulated and still accommodating EVIL
dences of trade expansion the two
factors that speak for conservatism
are the advancing prices and the
danger that speculation may make
such demands on the money market
as prematurely to consume the free
capital OF the world required to. f.
nance new era of prosperity.
Plans under consideration or al
ready agreed upon for enlarging the
capacity of producing plants testify
to the very heavy volume of new
business in iron and steel and fur
ther indicate that there is some pres
sure to secure an ADEQUATE sunDIy Of
raw material
Bradstreet's says:
Trade and Industrial develop
ments are largely favorable Con-
tinued cool weather continues to
furnish marked stimulus to de-
mand for heavy wearing apparel, dry
goods, clothing and shoes, and also
benefits demand for hardware, gro
ceries. lumber and building materials
at retail In most markets. Demand
for coal has also been perceptibly
quickened, both for steam sizes and
for household supplies.

MOTHER BEES, NOT QUEENS.
A Bee Master Says the Queen Is the
One Real Subject.


There are no queens, properly so
called, in bee life," said the bee mas
ter of Plcasantville. N. ]. There
are hundreds of hives in my garden,
and there isn't a queen in any Of
them.
eff you keep fairly close watch on
the progress of any particular hive,
it is very easy to see how the old
false idea got into general use. At
first glance bee colony looks very
much like a kingdom, and the single
large bee that all the others pay
court to and attend so carefully
seems very like queen.
1.-THE mother bee seems, on the
face of it, miracle of intelligence
and foresight. While as far as you
know all other creatures in the world
bring forth their young of both sexes
haphaZard, this can lay male or fe-
male eggs apparently at will. You
watch her going from comb to comb.
and the eggs she drops in the small
cells hatch out females and those
she puts in the larger cells are al
ways males or drones.
More than that, she seems always
to know the exact condition OF the
hive and to be able to limit her
egg laying according to its need or
otherwise OF population; for either
you see her filling only few cells
each day in little patch of comb
that can be covered with the palm
of your hand or she goes to work on
a gigantic scale and in twenty-four
hours produces eggs that weigh more
than twice as much as her whole
body.
Then" he goes on in Van Nor
den's Magazine, ito cap all, as the
honey season draws ON to it's height
you are forced to think that the
queen has conceived and is carrying
through a scheme for the good Of her
subjects that would do credit to the
wisest ruler ever born in human pur-
pie.

RAG RUGS

believe that great many times
our city sisters appreciate these com.
mon things more than do the women
Of the farm. l had this impressed
more firmly upon my mind lately on
seeing some of the despised rag rugs
in the home Of fashionable city
friend of mine. am told they are
coming into universal favor, for use
along with old Colonial furniture and
other things Of that period.
These rugs are far more artistic
than the glary velvet ones Of the
stores; they are also much cheaper
and more serviceable.
Let me tell you how some of these
beautiful rugs are made. Take the
heavy cast off clothing of the fam
lily, such as the mems trousers. coats,
and the like, tear in strips two inches
wide, sew and wind into balls. Have
the weaver put the warp in the loom
three threads in place, then skip
two This will give the effect when
woven of tiny diamonds, and OF
course is much stronger than when
the warp is put in single.
The weaver here charges thirty
cents yard for weaving such rugs
yard wide and furnishes her own
warp. One of these rugs that has
been in constant wear for seven years
is as good yet aus when new. Being
heavy these rugs lie in place very
firmly.
The other rugs have in mind are
the common braided ones. These
were made from the cotton rags and
were also torn wide. The children
delighted in braiding them SO that the
labor for the mother was not so
much and they cost nothing but the
time used and the thread One that
was for a bedroom was made of blue
and white braided together and was
oval in form. It was made from old
sheets and worn calico dresses. and

not imagine how pretty it was. So
pretty that a city lady wished to pur-
chase it for her home and she could
afford the best too.
Any color combinations may be
used; or the hit-or-miss, if for liv

haps. However. they may be washed

has brought thousands of young bees
into life. The hive is getting over
crowded. Sooner or later one Of two
things must happen either the in
crease OF population must be checked
or great party must be formed to
leave the old home and go out to es.
tablish another.
'Then it is that the mother bee
seems to prove beyond doubt her
wisdom and queenliness. She decides
for the emigration, but as a leader
must he found for the party and none
is at hand she forms the resolve to
lead it herself.
"A new ruler for the old realm
must be provided to take her place
when she has gone forever, and now
you see a party of bees set to work
on something that fairly beggars
your curiosity.
"At first it looks exactly like an
acorn cup in wax hanging from the
under edge of the comb. Perhaps the
next time you look the cup has grown
to twice it's original size and now you
see it is half full Of glistening
white jelly
"The next time, maybe. you open
the hive the accord has been added to
the cup, the queen cell is sealed over
and finished, and about week later
there comes out full grown queen
bee twice the size of the ordinary
worker and quite different in shape
and often different in color.
IF the mother bee really brought
all this about queen would not be
good enough name for her, but the
truth is throughout all the wonder
workings of the hive the queen "a
little more than an instrument, n
kind of an automaton. merely doing
what the workers compel her to do.
They are the real queens in the
hive and the mother bee is the one
and only subject. The birth of a
queen is simply a question Of where
the eggs are laid.
Thousands and thousands of
worker eggs are laid in a hive dur
ing the season, and each of those
could be made into a queen if the
workers chose; but the worker egg
is laid in small cell and the larva
is bred on bare minimum of food
at the least possible cost in time,
trouble and space to the hive, while
when a new queen in wanted cell
as big as your finger top is built and
the larva is stuffed like prize pig
through all its five days of active life
until, with unlimited food and time
and room to grow in, it comes out at
last a perfect mother bee."
