The Cardinu Bee.

The carding bee lives in holes among stones and roots, making nests of moss lined with wax to keep the wet out, with long gallery to approach it. The bees find a bit of moss, and sev
 eral of them get in a row, with their backs toward the nest. The foremost bee then lays hold of the moss, pulls it up with her jaws and drives it with her forefeet under her body and as far toward the next as possible, when the next bee does the same thing. By this means many tiny heaps of pre- pared moss are got to the nest, where other bees weave it into the structure.

 ''I manage to make fan last about twenty years," said one, ''and this is my system: don't wastefully open the whole fan and wave 1t carelessly. open only one section at time. That is good for about year. Then l open the next, and so on until the fan is eventually used up."
 Twenty years for a good fan! ex- claimed the other. What sinful ex travagance! In my family we use a fan for two or three generations, and this is how we do it: We. open the whole fan. but we don't wear it out by waving it. Oh. no!

Relieves the Worst
 Cases of Catarrh
Think "Hyomei the Most Wonderful Treatment for Catarrh Ever
 Discovered"

Discovered"
 Do not try to cure catarrh by using sprays or lotions; it cannot be cured in that manner. The only way in which this too common disease can be fully relieved is through a direct application to the affected parts that will kill the bacilli of catarrh and prevent their growth.
 Breathing the air of Hyomei is the only known method of treatment that can really accomplish this. It is the simplest, most pleasant and probably the most reliable treatment for catarrh that has ever been dis covered. ..
 E, The complete Hyomei outfit is i'm expensive and consists of a inhaler, dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last several weeks. This will effect in- stant relief in ordinary cases, but for chronic and deep:seated cases of oatarrh, longer use may be necessary, and then an extra bottle of Hyomei can be obtained for trifiing sum. It is not alone the best Git might be called the only) method of treating catarrh, but it is also the most economical. |~.~.; .'r'. ,.'- 5.%s
 Anders Jacobsen had so much con- fidence in the power of Hyomei to relieve catarrh, that he will for a limited time, sell this medicine under his pereonal guarantee to refund the money if the purchaser can say that it did not benefit. 4 s-.~

SERVICE AT NO COST

As The lntelligencer has stated on
various occasions in considering the

provide for the taxation Of the coal
companies. not as singing them out
as distinctive from other corporations
and imposing special burdens on them.
but as enjoying benefits and service
for which other interests. including
the individual taxpayer. are required
to pay.
The miners hospitals, three in mum

the coal industry. are supported not
MS they should be. by the the coal Cd
orators, but by the general taxpayers
and other taxed corporations OF the
State. Is this fair? Is it in any sense
equitable? These hospitals are a
heavy charge on the public treasury.
Why should this burden rest on peo.
pie who have no interest in the coal
industry. while for the benefits con.
ferred the coal companies do not pay
one cent
But this Is not the only item. The
cost Of the mine inspection depart.
ment also falls uniustly on the general
taxpayer. for the maintenance OF
which the coal interests surely ought
to contribute something. The needs
