The Sting Of a Bee.

The field Of pink and white clover
was very tempting. And because
fields of pink and white clover are
few and far between in big cities
the little girl who had never been IN
the country before made the most OF
the day on her grandfather farm.
1t was a warm day. in June, and
even the small girl, whose name was
Betty. was very hot and tired She
tumbled about in the field OF CLOVER
and shifted joyfully.
THE bees love the clover, too, dear.
Do be careful" called the young aunt
who was making ice cream on the
back porch. Having but a hazy idea
about bees. in that she confused them
that her mother called comb honey.
which she bought at the delicatessens,
Betty looked about her rather inter-
ested. Just why it should be called
honey in the comb, when 1t didn't
look in the least like a COMP. sne
mused-and just at that moment the
huzzine that had been confinfng it.

blossom some distance away came
nearer. Instinctively Betty closed
her eyes and ducked.

settled angrily. There was sharp.

into tears. She ran to, her aunt, who

ed wooden rings. For once the towel
rack failed to interest the little girl.
"Ooh, It hurts! 1t hurts! she
walled.
.The sting is there. dearie; Auntie
must get 1t out" and as she spoke
the young aunt, manipulating smaii;
shiny tweezers. extracted the barbed
stinger. saying, as she did so. "A bee
can only sting once. That's pless-

think it was blessing to be stung.
Because bees have only one sting
er, so they can only sting once in
their lives and then they have moth
ing left to protect themselves after
ward But wasps and hornets have
different stingers. and they can sting
as often as they like. 1t is the acid
in the sting that makes 1t hurt 50

the pink and blue towel rings. What
are you doing?"
For her aunt had gotten bottle.
and when she took the cork out Betty
discovered that it smelled like her
mothers lavender smelling salts.

n. >D.-Mildew is different from other
stains. 1t is a mold. and, like other
molds. it may be killed by strong sun
light The growth is stopped by dry
ing it in strong sunshine after moist
ening it. but this will not necessarily
bleach the material A great deal de-
pends upon how long the milde&-
mold has been growing. Sometimes
covering it with lemon juice and
letting the sun shine directly upon it
will remove the spot. Another way
is to cover the stain with a mixture
of soap jelly and pulverized chalk and
then expose it to direct sunlight
Javelle water will generally remove
the spot when everything else. fails

never being removed.
