INSECT INSTINCT.
How Bees Treat intruders That Get
Into the Hivs.

Into the Hive.
What does the bee do when some
foreigner in the animal world, as,
for instance, a heavy slug. invades
its hive? Stings it to death, of
course. But what then? All the
bees in the hive may not be able to
drag out the carcass, and yet they
must do something with it to keep
it from injecting the colony. Move
into a new house? Scarcely, for
they would abandon their store OF
honey. No, the workers cease gath,
ering honey and start out after pro.
polls, the red resinous substance
with which bees line and fence their
hives. This bee glue they spread
all over the foreign substance in
little fllets until the foreigner is
completely embalmed.
So, too, if a snail invades the hive
and evades being stung to death
they glue him fast in his shell and
when he starves to death embalm
him with propolis.
But the bee is not the only in
sect that exhibits a clearly defined
intelligence. The maternal nature
shows up in some Of the meanest
insects to a wonderful degree. The
pine silkworm moth tears all the
hair and down from it's own body in
order to make a soft nest for its
young and expires soon after. This
is to a greater extent than the rab-
bit, which tears only the fur from
its belly for it's nest.
Some gall insects even immediate
themselves to protect their off
spring. As the insect, full to great
distension with eggs, expels them
gradually till all have been laid and
nothing but a hollow shell remains
Of the mother, she sees that her
task has been accomplished and
gathers the eggs into a pile, spreads
herself over them, fastens the sides
of her own body down over them,
and thus dies. This, Of course,
forms an impermeable covering for
the eggs till they r Matched. The
mother has here paid for the child
birth with her life. and the chill
dren are born in the shelter Of her
corpse.-New York Tribune.

TICKLE FASHION.
Some Of the Things That Start Styles

en of England said they would be
hanged if they wore a black silk
dress in which a notorious lady was
strangled. But a budding fashion
was curiously squashed in the end
of the last century, the fur cape, a
useful article and ornamental to the
slim. A fat duchess saw herself in
the glass, saw that it did not suit
her stubby figure and dressed her
coachman in it. And the fur cape
became so questionable that even
footmen struck.
Both black satin dresses and
white lace wells went Immediately
out of fashion when a murderess
wore them at her execution. The
woman was Mrs. Manning, who, with
her husband. was executed for the
murder of "A man named O'Connor
before Horsemonger lane Jail on
Nov. 13, 1s49.
A particular kind of black beaver
hat fell in popularity when Franz
Muller was in 1864 hanged for the
murder of Thomas Briggs on the
North London railway. Muller's
hat, found in the railway carriage,
formed the connecting link in a re-
~msrkable chain of circumstantial
evidence. Henceforth "mullers,"
as they we're called, we're tabooed,
and anybody who wore one risked
having it smashed at sight.
While in England garments have
been made Questionable by fgur-
ing at the execution of criminals,
in France the public executioner at
n time actually set the fashion.
Samson. the executioner, was ia
nous for the richness of his attire
and attracted such attention there
by that just before the revolution he
vas forbidden to wear blue, which
was a nobleman's color. BY way of
protest he made himself even more
gorgeous and despite his Office made
the green cloth which he adopted
fashionable with the court dandies,
who initiated both the cut and color
of his clothes. -London Chronicle.

Last summer something went up,
and pa made a lot Of money. As
J soon as ma found it out she said
! she was going to be done in oil.
"All right said pa, Chow much
Of you are you going to have done?"
"a full length" said ma.
"Gracious. You'll ruin me!' said
pa. Think of the frame!"
You see, ma is what ] call fat,
but she says she is in the prime OF
life and that it is fitting for a wom-
an OF her age to be portly.
"1f you're going to be done" pa
told her, "be done brown. So don't
20 to a department store and be
done by the yard with a halo
around YOU"
Ma gripned like she always does
when she gets her W way and
went to a real artist-one of those
fellows that lives in an attic with a
big skylight and armor and pieces
of people hanging around. This
was last September, and since then
ma has been going about once a
week to sit to the artist.
The first time ma came home
from her sit pa asked her how much
of Venus had risen from the sea.
Ma got mad and told him to wait
until he saw his wife hanging from
the line at the academy.
Well, ma is done now, and the
other night we three went around
to the academy to see ma hanging,
Pa said he would like to see her as
others saw her. The picture looked
just like ma, only her cheeks were
red, and she didn't have any funny
little lines around her eyes. Pa
said she looked like a duchess and
patted her on the arm, and she got
all red and her eyes shiny, and she
looked real pretty. Then ma want
ed to go home, but pa wanted to
stay and hear what people said
about the picture.
While they we're settling their
differences, as pa calls it, two ladies
came along and began to talk about
mas picture. One of them said:
isn't it hideous? I don't mean the
picture. hut the subject. Why is it
artists always choose such ugly sub
jects?"
, Pa said "Blast the women!" real
loud. and they looked around and
saw ma dressed like she was in the
picture. "Merciful heavens" one
squealed. There's the subject
now" And ma said, "James, il
you had gone home when | wanted
to you would have spared your wife
this humiliation"
Pa never said a word, and We
went home without stopping to get
to eat, like we do when
we go to the show, and ma went
to bed.
The next morning pa asked ma
where she was going to hang her
picture. "Where am | going to
hang it?" screamed ma. "Tn a place
where neither you or Thomas
that's me) or any n else will see
It." And una made the artist take
the picture out of the academy.
When it came home she had it
lied up in sheets and put up in the
garrett and locked the door. Pa said
IL she wouldn't let him see the pic
ture he was going to have some
thing to look at, so he pasted the
bill up on the wall of his den.
Geei II makes me sick. Pa and
ma are always preaching about
'willful waste making woeful want"
That's what that picture was. They
