Bee ls Busy But Unwise.

The bee may be a busy little in
sect, but it has no common sense. At
least Henri Fabre says so, and Fabre,
you know, has been called the I'm
sects' Homer" by Maeterlinck. Fabre
gives many proofs of his assertion, for
example:
He opened the bottom of cell in
the course of construction, but the
bee that was building it kept right on
with its work, building up the cell and
storing honey in it, quite unconscious
of the fact that the food for the fu-
ture generation was oozing out, and
finally laid its egg and sealed up the
top of the cell, never paying any at
.enton 70 the aols in tho bottom.

FEEL THEY HAVE GRIEVANCE.
Certain Class of Swiss Who Have No
Use at All for Visitors to
the Country.

Swiss patricians plume themselves
on being the most exclusive aristoc-
racy in Europe. So exclusive are they,
indeed, that of late years they have
been reduced to associating solely
with one another, for they are for the
most part not rich enough to travel,
and it very rarely happens, in these
topsy-turvy days, that anyone goes to
Switzerland who has long enough
lineage to be permitted to associate
with them.
Besides, they have marked dis.
like of foreigners, because, as one Of
them was kind enough to explain, for.
eigners, although a source of profit to
innkeepers and the like, are to them
a source of positive loss.
Before the tourist took to stalking

were plentiful. Now living is terri

Sport hats made Of fabrics have
been developed this season to an i'm
rortant place in the well-defined class
to which they belong. The regulation
sport hat has become an important
part OF our specialized millinery and
will grow more and not less popular,
as women are becoming more and not
less identified with outdoor life and
outdoor sports.
These plain, well-made, well-fitting
and snappy items in the headwear OF
the modern woman, are made of straw
braids or body hats, but have proved
30 successful when made of fabrics
that the fabric hat claims special at
tention. A group OF three OF them is
pictured here in which one hat is
made of taffeta silk, one Of checked
cotton goods, in a heavy weave, and
one in mercerized poplin which is
made Of cotton but has the appear.

A half century has passed since
The First Man and The Second Man
accomplished their life work. In the
valley of life where folk work and
love; are glad ard suffer by turns;
are tempted and sin; stumble and fall,
or again fight and win, and otherwise
live out their everyday lives The First
Mans name is seldom mentioned by
the passing generation, although once
in great while someone refers to
the brilliance of his wit, and his books
lie tucked away in dusty corners, I'M
read.
But in every home The Second
Mans name is household word, and
always it is spoken with a sort OF
reverence.
For he knew the folk who live al
ways in the valley Of life and in the
simple and tender understanding which
pervaded his work he will live in the
heart of each successive generation
as long as the world shall last.

Cement for Use in Glass.

Here is a very valuable formula for
a cement for joining glass. It may
be used in making or mending aQuari-
ums, or things Of that sort. This ce.
ment contains nothing injurious to
either animals or plants, and will re-
sist the action of both fresh and salt
water.

third of a gill Of finely powdered
resin; sift and keep tightly corked un

made into putty by mixing in boiled
linseed oil with a little patent dryer

Two Theories as to Cancer.

Most of the theories of the cause OF
cancer fall into two groups-one that
it is a germ disease, the other that 1t
is hereditary. The supporters OF the
first, or germ, theory are much the
more numerous, and, to their credit
be 1t said, the more active and un.
wearyingly industrious. Yet it must be
regretfully confessed that although the
germ Of cancer has been one Of the
favorite objects Of pursuit by research
workers ever since the first germ.
criminal was accused and convicted
by Pasteur, and literally hundreds Of
patient and laborious workers and
scores Of special institutions have

The Death Tick.

Anyone who has watched through
the night hours by the bed of one
who is dangerously i'll can readily I'M
derstand how the faint tick, tick with
in the woodwork of the wall came
to be regarded as sound of evil
omen. In order to make this peculiar
noise the insect draws in the artenna

principally upon the median legs,
strikes it's head against its support
by a sort of rocking motion. 1t is
by this noise that the male calls the
female.

OF Elowered Tapestry.

Cushions having the appearance OF
durability and elegance are made OF
Powered tapestry. The design should
be small and artistic, in good colors
that blend nicely with the background.
Good cloth, Powered in pastel prints,
is suitable for a handsome room, but
such pieces as olive, cardinal, blue and
green, with small flowers, are best for
general use. Sofa cushions made of
burlap and embroidered with raffia are
quaint serviceable and inexpensive.
for there is quite a difference between
the cost of raffia and embroidery silk,

Peculiar War Honors.

A historian of the last war with Mex
leo states that the Mexican officials
were not content with bestowing the
honors Of war On officers and privates
who had shown valor In battle, but
brevetted towns and villages as we'll.
A hamlet was raised to village when
its Inhabitants played good part in
the war, according to this writer, and
a village to a city. Thus the city of
Alvarado rose from the village of AL
varado by special decree issued as a
reward for the bold attitude of its resi-.
dents toward the invaders.

Out of turmoil of shapes and riot
of color a few parasols have emerged
from among many novelties to become
favorites for this season. The Chin.
Chin" is one of them and the "Pagoda'
another, both patterned after models
which have been introduced to us by
fair Japan or old China. But none Of
these novelties holds first place in
point of numbers. The majority Of
women buy the usual shape with
which everyone is familiar and de-
pend for novelty on the colors or
the border used or new ways of ad-
justing the covering to the frame.
A convenient parasol for those who
are to travel is made with detach-
able handle. BY clever little con-
trivance the lower part Of the handle
may be made to slip out of the upper
part. This allows the parasol to be
packed in any trunk.
Parasols in all white, in white and
black, and those showing rich Persian
designs in many colors applied to
white or ecru grounds are liked for
all-round wear. Emerald green, and

with green, are always in fashion

THE MAN WHO LIVED

In far away yesteryear two men
won fame in the art of letters.
The First Man withdrew himself to
the heights that he might the better
look out over the valley below and
watch the folk who took the days
work seriously. He felt contempt for
their struggles and, strivings, and
never failed to ridicule the smallness
of their lives-their inconsequential
aims and ambitions-but even while
he ridiculed it gave him pleasure to
dazzle them with the message which
flowed from his pen in style SO brill
liant that the folk in the valley
likened his brain to crystal foun-
tain because of its wonderful glimmer
and glitter, and The First Man was
pleased with the smile.
He withdrew himself yet further
from the common life of the valley
below and gave himself utterly to a
new work which his publishers prom
Used should make his name live for
ever, and when 1t was ready 1t did in
deed dazzle the world with it's bril-
lance. It was saturated with smart
epigrams; scintillated with wit;
teemed with cynicism, and ridiculed
all there was of sentimental charm in
the world. From one end of the land
to the other the book was read with
admiration, and critics said The First
Man was the greatest genius of his
age. His cleveTly turned phrases
pointed with ridicule the ordinary way
of human kind and made the people
laugh so boisterously that they for
got that their own simple lives fur
nished material for his scathing sar.
casm and joined their voices to the
widespread praise accorded the clever
writer.
In the valley below, where lived the
folk whose aims and ambitions The
First Man despised, The Second Man
worked out his salvation in simpler
manner. He, too, was writer, but
his books created small stir. He had
no gift of brilliance, and so gentle was
the heart Of him that he could not
have turned q clever phrase at the
cost of a human hurt. But he knew
the folk who lived in the valley, and
he did his work among them. He die
not despise their aims and ambitions
and his heart was large with sympa
thy for their common strivings and
sorrows. And most Of all he under
stood them and he loved them, and
the messages he sent out to the worlc
had their birth in the wellspring o.
their perfectly useful and norma
lives.
The Second Mans critics said thai
he took life too seriously; that hi:
work was deficient in humor and over
burdened with sentiment, but just the
same his books lay beside those o.

FACTS ABOUT THE
CITY ELECTION

For the guidance OF those who are
not familiar with the election law the
following information has been pre-
pared by the election board:
Can a man vote if he has lost his
registration receipt?
Yes. Satisfy the inspector of the
precinct in which you registered that
you have lost it and that you are the
elector named in the duplicate in the
hands of the inspector and he will
issue duplicate receipt.
Suppose this same man who lost his
receipt has moved into another pre-
cinet and has been there more than
thirty days before voting. What must
he do TO be able to vote?
First, get duplicate receipt from
the Inspector, as just explained. Then
have the inspector endorse, Trans
