Face the Real Situation.

Real misfortune Is not temporary
failure or disaster, but the helpless at.
utuce that SO often Is taken by those
10 whom these things come. A man
loses money, and somebody else or a
system Is blamed; person becomes
sick, and regards it as IAN afflictiCn
from the Lord with acquiescence as
the requirement; person gets down
and out, and society is held RESPONSE
bic. Too seldom is the cause assigned
where it frequently belongs, within tn,
Individual himself.

Bees Work Ten Hours a Day.

Ames, Ia.-Recent observations on
the action of honey bees at the Iowa
agricultural experiment station shows
that the busy bee is all that has been
claimed for him. Not only does ne put
in a good 1O-hour day, but he can
carry between rs to 80 per cent OF
his own weight in load:
The number of trips made by an
average bee during day is thirteen.
Some bees made as high as twenty
four during a 1O-hour day, while
others did less work. The average bee
spent thirty-four minutes in the
field collecting his load while some
spent less than thirty minutes. in
the hive the average time amounted
to eleven minutes although many OF
the workers were only five minutes
unloading.
Observation showed that the bees
started from the hive on the average
at eight o'clock in the morning and
quit at 6 o'clock in the evening, COM
pleting 10-hour day.
