NYE's STUDY OF THE BEE
Humorist Went Almost as Deeply Into
His Subject as His Subject Did
Into Him.

/ love to study bees, and once kept
bees myself l often think Of what
late writer has said, that within so
small body should be contained an
apparatus for converting the various
sweets which it collects into one kind
Of nourishment for itself, another for
the common brood, glue for its carpen-
try, wax for it's cells, poison for its
enemies, honey for its master, with
proboscis as long as it's body itself,
microscopic in several parts, teles-
copic in it's mode Of action, with a
sting so exceedingly sharp that were

and two grains Of matter, is surely
enough to crush all thoughts Of athe-
ism and materialism.' The queen,
during the propagating season, lays
as high as two thousand eggs in a
day, and I have given much thought
to the grating Of the queen bee upon
the Plymouth Rock hen, with a view
to better egg facilities, but so far met
with but little success. My expert
ments have been somewhat delayed
by the loss Of time in taking the swell
ing out of myself after each perusal OF
the bee character in his or her home
life. A writer says the best way to
ascertain the location Of the queen Is
to divide the swarm, after which it
will be noticed that the one having
the queen will quietly settle down
again, while the other portion will be-
come very restless indeed. I tried
this myself, and noticed that they
were very restless. They also COM
municated their rest1essness to me.
All of US got restless. The drones are
the male bees Of the hive. They do
no work, except to act in parental
capacity and vote. They have no
stingers, but In its place they have a
good appetite and baritone voice.
They are destroyed by the workers
soon after the honey season, and the
widows have it all their own way.
About nine-tenths Of the hive are
workers, or females, say, twelve to
fifteen thousand. These are the busy
bees referred to in books. They get
up early in the morning, eat hasty
meal, and go out looking for honey.
They fly with great force, and as
straight as bullet. Sometimes they
try to go through a man on their way
to the hive, but only get part way

Brown Spots on Old China.

The beauty of old china is often de-
stroyed by brown spots which appear
on the surface, says the Toledo Blade
An effective way to remove these is
to bury the dish in the earth, cover
ing it completely. The darker spots
require more time to remove them
than the lighter ones. This method
will not harm the most delicate
china.

One strange prejudice is that which
the Kafrs entertain against twins,
that are held to be most unlucky. al
though, oddly enough, a twin is al

days woman who had twins for the

Robin Hood Tradition.

The part Of the English coast which
recently suffered from German bonn
bardment was connected with Robin
Hood. Tradition says that from Whit
ney towers he and Little John used to
shoot at long range with their English
bows, and a bay little south Of this
town bears to this day the name Of
Robin Hoods bay. This would seem
to bear out the belief Of Louis Rhead,
author and illustrator Of BOLD Robin
Hood" that Robin Food was an actual
living parsonage and that his words
and deeds continue to ne familiar
