WOMEN PRETTlER NOW
Expert Gives Causes.

at is true that women Of to-
day are far prettier and young
er looking than were their
mothers at the same age, de-
clares Idah McGlone Gibson,
editor of Woman Beautiful
Magazine.
"Women Of today take the
time to improve or preserve
their complexions. The mus
clcs of the face need exercising
quite as much as do those OF
anv other part of the body.
Some facial muscles are over
worked; some not exercised
enough. You must properly
exercise the face by massage or
vou'll suddenly wake up to
find YOU have a double chin,
sagging or hollow cheeks,
crows feet, or a face that is
salow or pale.
o." Up 10 date nothing has been
discorcyed lchich stays the hand
of Old Father Time as does The
massaging Of tired or thin facial
muscles"

LIFE WITHIN A BEE HIVE HOW ROBBERS MET DEATH
End of Tchakirdiali and His compan-
ions Strictly According to
Bandit Tradition.

Tchakirdjali, the terror Of the near
east, the most notorious and blood
thirsty of modern brigands, is no
more. He died as he lived-in all the
glamour Of sanguinary melodrama.
Dwellers in Asia Minor can now draw
an easier breath than they have been
able to for years. Wealthy merchants
Of Smyrna, who trembled for their
boards, may sleep in peace. Travellers
over the lonely roads in the neighbor'
hood OF the Anatolin mountains need
not urge on their steeds so appre-
ensively-Tchakirdja and his band
lurk no more in their old strongholds.
Their deeds will figure conspicuous
ly in the tales that white-bearded-
Arabs tell night after night to cireSes
of cafe auditors. Like the Black
Douglas, the name Of Tthakirdiali
will always quiet the fretfuj Turkish
child in its cradle. Some women will
perhaps heave a sigh of sentiment for
one who, ferocious outlaw that he vas.
treated them with extraordinary gal
lantry. They, at least, knew them
selves to be safe from his hands.
For them, Tchakirdjali was not the
brigand but the squire of danes, a
man to be counted on to revenge their
wrongs, as many local Lothario had
reason to know. Nay, more than that.
Frequently ne was their good genius.
Many a maid owes her dowry to-
Tchakirdjali's generosity with his i'll
gotten gains.
1t is a pity that Edmond About Is
not alive OF do justice to Tchakird-
jalis memory. The author of Tho
King Of the Mountains" would have
understood him. His able pen could
have immortalized him like no other.
Tchakirdiali was Hagdi Stavros to the
life. Only the background was diff
ferent. Both were kings" and both
had their Mountains" 1t was in the
mountains OF Anatolia (look up your
geography that the great TchakiId-
jail met his end. 1t was heroic end.
Nobody need say that romance
doesn't exist in our prosalc day. A
detachment of Turkish soldiers was
sent out against Tchakirdjali. A des-
perate struggle ensued. 1t was four
hundred well-equipped men agains.
four. The Fra Diavalo saw what tho
end must be. Now, If It is n matter
of principle with Turkish brigands.
they must not, If possible, be taken
alive.
Tchakirdjali, when the last shot was
fired, called on his boon companion.
Mehmed. to save him from that dis
grace. Fealty demanded obedience,
and Mehmed was equal to the occa-
sion. With his good Damascus blade
he hewed off his leaders head.
Then, having wrought the worthy
deed he did what was only left him
to do, he plucked a dagger from his
belt and buried it IN his own heart.
So the band of Tchakirdjali fell, well
tering in their own blood.

Three Classes of individuals in Each
Colony, Each Having Its Special
Duties to Perform.

In the honey bee we find so many
and such remarkable instincts that it
seems to me impossible that they
could have been acquired by the proc
ess of evolution.
Three kinds of individuals exist in
a colony of bees-the queen, whose
sole work is to lay eggs; the drones,
or males, whose only function is to
fertilize the queen and the workers,
which are females undeveloped SEX
ually.
Only one queen is permitted to live
in the colony at the same time, there
being a mortal antipathy between the
queens. The queen is continually
guarded by a number of workers and
her wants are carefully supplied. If
two queens are in the same colony
they enter combat, being urged by
the workers. and fight till one stinga
the other to death,
When a young queen is ready tC
leave the cell in which she has been
reared, she is not permitted to do so,
but she is guarded by the workers I'M
til the old queen has abandoned the
hive with a swarm, and then she is
permitted to leave the cell. When the
queen has fully matured in her cell
the workers cut away the wax from
the end Of the cell till it is an exceed
ingly thin film.
If the colony is deprived Of it's
queen, the workers, after searching in
vain for her, set to work to rear q
new queen. For this purpose they
select larva that would develop into
q worker, remove some of the neigh
boring cells and construct for IL a
large vertical cell. By feeding this
larva on royal jelly it becomes a
queen.
If two queens during combat acquire
n position in which they might destroy
each other, thus leaving the hive with
out queen, they refrain from giving
each other the mortal stroke.
When the swarming season is over
the old queen is permitted by the
workers to sting to death all the
queens that are in the cells.
If the queen loses both her anten-
nae she is unable properly to deposit
her eggs, and the workers permit her
to perish.
At the close Of the swarming sea-
son all of the drones are killed by the
workers. They are no longer needed,
for the old queen has already been
fertilized, and new drones can be
reared in the following spring. Thus
food is saved for the use Of those bees
alone that will be Of future use to the
colony.
If they lose the queen when swarm
ing they return to the hive they have
left-seeming to realize that their eff
forts would be fruitless without n
queen. IF the hive has no queen the
drones are permitted to live through
the winter.
When the drones are destroyed the
larvae and pupa which would produce
drones are also destroyed. If pressed
for food, colony will attack weak
or colony or hive without a queen.
and, II the attack is successful, the
vanquished colony joins the conquer
ors, thus strengthening the hive.-Al-
