FAIRIES IN cHILD's ROOM
Grownups Make Mistake When They
Laugh at the Little Ones
Imagination.

1t is certain, Of course, that II any
one Of us, however dull, came into the
child's playroom and found standing
there beside him q tall and simmer
ing figure Of fairylike, miraculous
beauty, decked In shining iris and
frosty, glistening gold-it is quite GER
tain we would step softly, with aston.
ishment; would gaze mutely with
amazement and watch with wonder,
Laura Spencer Porter writes in the
Mothers Magazine. Not one Of us, I
am very sure, would dismiss the whole
happening as a piece Of nonsense, or
something merely amusing. Yet, how
often, when we go into the child's
playroom presence even more won.
derful is there beside him, far more
fairylike, far more amazing, far more
marvellous colored, far more richly en-
doWed than any fairy whatsoever
the imagination, a presence which has
been with man, granting his desires,
since the world began, and whose pow
er has never yet been, nor, fancy,
ever will be, computed.
AS beautiful and exquisite, yes, and
in its beauty very nearly as solemn
a thing as the world and the life of
man afford; and behold, we pay 1t no
reverence, give it little consideration,
or, we laugh at it, perhaps, as some
thing triting, and call it "childs play"

Bad Cooking and Divorce.

Love and well-filled stomach go
well together, but hatred and treach-
cry are born in an underdone steak,
the Farm and Fireside remarks. Bad
cooking is directly responsible for a
large percentage of the divorce evil
and much of the crime Committed-in
fact, it might well be olassed as a
crime in itself.
Bank examining is all well enough
for its purpose, but the examination Of
cooks and kitchens is far more impor.
tant. OF what avail are our pure-fo0d
laws If all food may be ruined in the
kitchen?
A good cook is the greatest states
man in the country in the true sense
of the term.
No one should be permitted to cook
In any public eating house who has not
been examined, found competent and
licensed; and bad cooking-such as
now exists in many public places
should be misdemeanor punishable
by law.

ANTS PROVIDED WITH LIGHT
Curious Phenomenon That Has for
Some Time Attracted Attention
Of Scientists.

There has been observed curious
phenomenon connected with the nests
Of the Brazilian white ants or termites.
These, when seen on the headwaters
Of the Rio Verde, seem to be covered
with tiny stars, which give the nest
the aspect of a miniature tower bril-
liantly illuminated. When the nest is
struck with o stick the lights go out
only to reappear again little by little.
Castelnau, in the middle Of the last
century, reported similar spectacle
near the city Of Goyaz. According 70
his account, the lights were produced
by an immense number OF small phos-
phorescent larvae, which withdrew In.
to the galleries Of the mound when
an attempt was made to capture them.
1t has been pointed out by several
authorities that these exhibitions are
probably confined to some particular,
species or to some special occasion
or conditions Of termite life, since
many scientists have spent consider
able periods Of investigation in Brazil
without seeing them.

BEES HAVE HEATING METHOD
Work of Intelligent insects Keeps
Temperature of Hives Comfort
able In Winter Weather.

The bee upholds his reputation for
industry throughout the winter months
as well as during the summer. Being
susceptible to cold, the bee must turn
to his colony for warmth. Commu-
nism, which In bees is SO highly devel-
oped in the storing Of food and caring
for the young, is also the basis for the
heating system. It was found by. ex-
pertinent that only the shell 10 com.
pact This is formed by one to sew
eral layers Of bees all solidly arranged
with their heads inward, their hairs
interlacing. This arrangement is per-
feet for conservation of the heat with
in. Except for an occasional shifting
Of position the bees forming the shell
are quiet. But within the shell strange
things are going on.
Il is here that the heat is gener-
ated. And the antics are not unlike
our own when we are cold. The bees
are packed loosely within the shell so
that there is plenty Of space for many
bees to be exercising at a time. Rap
Id tanning Of the wings, shaking the
body from side to side, rapid breath
ing, and other movements are all part
Of the scheme for raising the tempera-
ture. In one particular instance, when
q bee had been rapidly tanning with
his wings for seven and half min
utes, the thermometer nearest him
rose half a degree Fahrenheit.

KNOW HOW TO SAY GOoD-BY
When Time Comes to Go Don't Try to
Be Diplomatic About II, Prls-
oner Says.

Nothing is more embarrassing than
not to know how to say good-by. The
predicament places one at gross dis
advantage. He becomes awkward,
clumsy, laundering. His hands are
hams and his fingers SWOLLEN frank
furters. He stands round ready and
willing to go, but doesn't know how to
break away. He wants to go, feels
that others would like to see him
vamoose, that he has overstayed his
welcome and that his presence is a
trespass on hospitality, but he STAN
mers, halts, hesitates, mumbles and
is all messed up over the matter Of
saying good-by and getting out.
He would thank his lucky stars If
some "bouncer" would come along and
end the agony by throwing him out.
Now, remember, there's only one
thing to do in a case like that, when
you have got thing to say, say 1t.
Just say "Good-by" and be honest and
not diplomatic about 1t and see how
nicely you settle the difficulty. From

False Eyes for Animals.

are alike, and it requires a great deal
of skill and practice before a man is
competent to paint the eyes quickly.
A lions eye, fer example, is large and
bnownish-black, while the iris is
chrome yellow, but streaked in such a
peculiar fashion that 1t Is an extreme.

Sousa used to tell an amusing story
OF a German trombone player whom
the composer-conductor knew in the
early days when he was leading the
United States Marine band in Wash

named Backenblasser- fact he could
not help-and on one occasion Sousa
saw him standing outside the theater
where he had been playing for sew
eral weeks. Backenhlasser was
swearing very unmusically for a man
who knew all about harmony, and he
shook his fist at the theater and even
administered one or two kicks to the
unresisting brick wall. What's the
trouble, Backenblasser?" asked Sou
