OF this place had been worked into d
state of great indignation by the loose

appeared in the pulpit determined TO
read his flock a severe lesson. From

and, to the terror of the congregation
held it up before them. Then he be-

Geblingen? Are any of thy relatives
in this church? Vert thou drunk

At that moment Mr.. Jeffries caught

laugh she left the group and hurried
toward the door. Directly she was
out of earshot, the three women be-
gan whispering:

claimed the blonde. "The cheek of

CAT NURSING A RAT

Cats and rats are commonly regard
ed as inevitable enemies, but story
comes from Scotland of an instance in
which this hatred has given place to
warm affection. The other day while
potatoes were being lifted in Glen
feshire Forest, near Kingussie, one of
the workers came on a rats nest con-
tanning number of young ones. These
were promptly dispatched with the ex-
ception of one, which the finder re-
tanned. Shortly afterwards the baby
rat was adopted by cat which at
the time was nursing kittens. Instead
of devouring the rat, as one would
expect, pussy quietly gave it place
beside her own offspring, bestowing
upon the newcomer as much care and
affection as she formerly devoted to
her own family. At the time of writ
ing the rat was still under pussy's
maternal care.

DWARF AND GIANT BEES

In some of the East Indian islands
and on the mainland of Hindustan are
to be found the smallest race of honey
bees in the world These dwarf honey
collectors are known to entomologists
as Apis fiorea. Their honey combs are
no larger than a child's hand, and the
cells are about the size of small
pin head. This honey is excellent, as
is the wax. The little creatures build
the combs on the branch of low tree,
and as they have not to provide for
winter they work all the year through,
raising broods like themselves.
In this same land there is a race
of giant bees, Apis dorsata, as large as
field crickets. These monsters of the
bee world build honey combs that are
from six to seven feet in length, four
or more feet in width, and which weigh
from 800 to 400 each.

An extraordinary crime has been

and about twenty knife-cuts. The
boy first said that the baby had fallen
and struck it's head against the wall,
but when closely questioned the blurt-
ed out that he had killed his little
brother He was trying to sleep, he
said, when the baby started to cry.
He was unable to quiet it, and then
he got angry, and struck it on the
head with a hammer, besides stab
bling it with table knife all over the
body.

Two young smartly dressed Partisan
ladies', wearing large beehive hats, ar
rived at Bellegarde the other night in
the Geneva-Paris express. They de-
clared nothing and ostentatiously
opened their baggage at the depot
An official, however, noticed that they
seemed to experience much difficulty
in balancing their large hats on their
heads, and the ladies were requested
to pass into a private room, where
their headgear was examined The
roofs of the beehives contained NOT
honey, but saccharine packed in an
alright box fitted ingeniously into the
hat. On the ladies paying heavy
fine they were allowed to continue
the journey minus the saccharine, but
retaining their hats, which might have
been conf1scated also.
