Whether man has had wealth or poverty, failure or success, counts for little when it is past. There is but one question for him to answer, to face alone with his conscience and his des tiny.

INFORMED OF OWNERS DEATH
How Old English Custom Of Notifying
Bees Of Demise Is Kept Up In
Parts of Country.

In Forty Years in a MOorland Par.
ish," the late Rev. J. G. Atkinson tells
of a One-time rector of Sessay, near
Thirsk, England, who, being called
upon to bury one of his parishioners,
observed the wife of the eldest son of
the deceased man carrying to the bee
hives tray on which were variety
of eatables and drinkables.
She went straight to the beehives,
and, addressing the bees repeated the
formula: "John C. (naming the
late owner) is dead, and his son is
now master. He has sent you some
thing out of every dish and jug on
the table, and we hope you will be
content with him as master"
An additional custom elsewhere was
that the bees were put into mourning
by placing black strip round each
hive, and as each strip was tied, three
taps with the key Of the main door
of the house were given, and each
hive severally informed that the mas
ter was dead.

The efficacy Of a one-eyed man as a
pig-slayer In Ireland is a ease in point.

SILK EMBROIDERY HAS CALL

nation half century to reflect great
war, but In Paris, there hasj always
been disposition to employ the fash

far, there has only been chance to
exploit the East. This was done in
