BEES AT WORK ALL THE TIME
In Many Localities There Is No
Closed Season for Those In
defatigabIe Laborers.

Although bees are apt to turn out
on any sunshiny day, the bulk of their
work is done by the first of Novem-
Der and they have retired for their
winters sleep. The beekeeper must
now put cushions into the tops OF
the hives, taking only what honey he
is sure can be spared by the bees,
and leave them for their Information.
In Florida there is no such work to
do, says a writer in Outing. The bees
work all winter, and they have as
good feed in February and March as
they do in July. The orange orchards
are alive with the honey gatherers,
and their buzzings blend into almost
a roar in March, for that is when the
orange flowers are open; but it must
be confessed that the honey has
twang, something like the acidity OF
an orange, and it does not compare at
all with that made from the bass
wood. Ns
Besides the orange there are sue
cessive coverings of legumes of ali
sorts all the year, every one having a
positive flavor and very few of them
giving to honey familiar flavor. Yet
Florida is a natural home of the bee,
and honey in the southern states will
yet become as familiar a product as
cane sugar: .u~=sFsEs
In the Mississippi valley and else
where professional beekeepers carry
their hives to the south to meet the
coming of the flowers early in the
season, turning around toward the
north and carrying them to gather the
later sweets from later Towering ap-
pies and berries. In this way, or by
carrying them up and down mountain
sides, the feeding spells on clover or
Eastwood and other trees can be
greatly heightened.

FIRST SCORE FOR THE MAJOR
Man Of Law Wasted Time In conten-
platlon, but His Opponent Was
Quick to Act.

There lived at one time, in the fash
ionable quarter of Dublin an eminent
lawyer who afterwards came to occu-
py a position on the judicial bench.
He was a man OF high professional
attachments but of testy and irritable
temper. His next door neighbor was
a retired major, noted for the eccen-
tricity of his habits. Between the two
there was anything but a friendly feel
ing and they did all in their power to
annoy and harass each other. One
night, memorable in Ireland as The
night of the great storm" the majors
chimneys were blown down. Crash
they went through the roof of the law.
yer's house and thence down through
floor after floor, carrying havoc in
their course. The man of law was in
no good humor as he contemplated the
destruction, and what made matters
worse was that II was the majors
chimney that had occasioned the
wreck His mind was actively en-
gagged In devising some process by
which he could get satisfaction from
his arch enemy, when this missive ar
rived from the major:
"Send me back my bricks immediate
ly or I'll put the matter In the hands
OF Az attorney"

yellow Writing Paper Easy on Eyes.

Yellow Writing Paper Easy on Eyes.
Oculists have often called attention
to the fact that the eyes are easily
fatigued by the reflection from white
paper, especially when the surface is
under a strong light. Since green is
known to be the color most restful to
the eyes, 1t is common practice to
use wall papers and draperies OF that
color in libraries and private studies.
For writing paper, however, green is
an unsatisfactory color. 1t imparts a
reddish appearance TO the writing, and
makes 1t hard to read.
Yellow writing paper Is not open to
the same objection. In strong day
light II is softer than pure white pa
per, and in artificial light is not too
dark. Black letters on a yellowish
background show clear and distinct.
Many mathematieians use yellow pa.
per in figuring long and difficult cal.
culations, and many writer's have
adopted II for manuscripts 1t has the
additional merit of cheapness.-

Hidden In the mountains on both

Archibald Rose, British consul at
Yunan, China, in an article describ-

''The men are keen looking fellows,
who spend their days in sharpening
their dhas, or long two handed swords,
their nights In drinking and in har-

along the roads, carrying on their
backs great baskets of grain depend

weaving a straw bracelet for their
sweethearts, as they toll up the noun

OBJECT LESSON WAS ENOUGH
After the Illustration Mrs. Jones Wa
Able TO Understand just How
II Happened.

Mr.. Jones believed that no ono need
ever fall down. II was pure careless
ness, he said. Anyone who walked
straight, and did not dawdle round
was in no danger of losing his balance
He said so to Mrs. Jones many times
but she only smiled in a provoking
way.
One bitter cold January morning he
changed his mind. Everything out
doors had a coating Of ice. The path
leading from the barn to the house
was smooth as glass and slanted
treacherously on either hand. On one
side of It was an old cellar, where the
house had once stood Jones was COM
ing from the barn, after doing the
morning chores, with a pail of milk
in each hand He was just opposite
the cellar when-zzztl--out flew his
feet and down no went on his back.
The next instant he had slid in a
shower Of milk over the edge Of the
cellar hole, and landed on the bottom
with thump that fairly took away
his breath.
He looked round in a dazed way for
moment, and then crawled to his
feet After making reasonably sure
that none of his bones were broken,
he climbed out and went limping into
the house to tell his wife.
Matilda! Matilda!" he called.
Come out herel"
Obediently she came "Why, Hiram,
what has happened? Are you hurt?"
she exclaimed, startled.
yes" answered Jones. 81 fell down
that old cellarway. Come here and
III show you"
Mrs Jones followed her husband
gingerly.
See, Matilda" he said, as he reach
ed the spot and turned, Il stood right
here like this when"
Once more Jones's feet few up, and
in precisely the same manner as be-
fore he landed in the bottom of the
cellar. Silence reigned while Mrs.
Jones gazed at the spot where her
husband had stood. Then she saw
his head appearing over the top Of
the bank
Hiram" she said, "you needn't ex-
plain any further. l understand ex-
actly how it was done"
But Hiram's answer was thorough.
