The old bee masters differed great

custom of bringing" bees, according to
Q writer in the Detroit News. Edmund
Southern's "Treatlse Concerning the
Right Use and Ordering Of Bees"
printed In 1904, says: "When
the swarme Is up It Is not

son, Kettle or Frying pan taking Gas

and have little thanks: for by such
means they make the bees angrle and
so further to settle than otherwise
they would"
Samuel Puchas, n rector In Essex
at the time, wrote: "There is this
benefit Of ringing, that II you have
neighbors near you that keep bees,
you may give notice thereby to pre-
vent wrangllng II some Of theirs,

they will not be stayed, but Fastening

Little Change Noted
in Making of Bricks

Making brick was preanclent his
tory when Egypt was young.
Plutarch tells the history of the
phrase, "he's brick" by relating the
unecdote Of a Spartan king who ar
gued against building wall around
the capital city by pointing to his
army and saying, There Is my wall,
and every man a brick"
BasIcally, the manufacture of brick
has not changed since those early
days IL we except the vitrlflcatlon.
The process has simply been refined
and modernized.
Herodotus writes of an inscription
on a brick tomb built 10 centuries b.
Q. which reads:
"Disparage me not by comparing me
with pyramids built OF stone. 1 am
rs much superior to them as AmmOn
is to common detles. | am construct
ed of brick made from mud which ad-
hered to the end Of poles and was
drawn up from the bottom of the
lake."

Druggists With "Side
Lines" Nothing NeIU

The druggist who sells lunches,
books, radio sets and fishing tackle
Isn't modern phenomenon at all, as
most of us believe.
Around 1900 to 1925 we find the
pharmacist selling sweets, preserved
fruits, brown paper plasters, hair pow
ders and perfumes. In 1917, In Eng
land, u new charter separated the
npothecnry from the grocer and he he
gan to concentrate more upon drugs
and to dispense.
At later date apothecarles virtual
ly became physicians. They pre-
scrlbed as well as dispensed and WIS.,
tied patients. The pharmacist was
then practically a fully qualified prac'
tltioner.
But gradually he had fewer and
fewer drugs to dispense MS prescribed.
Today Il city will often support only
few exclusive pharmacies and the
druggist has fallen back upon side
lines, quite as In the early days This
Is no new and riOtOus indulgence on
his part; he has ample respectable

Wedding Day Abuse

The natives OF AMMAN have an Off
cial who bears the title OF master OF
sorrows. His duty is to curse In the
house OF n dead person to drive away
evil spirits. This official also curses
at wedding ceremonies. People who
accompany marriage procession TO
the brides house are abused by the
brides family, in the belief that this
will bring good fortune to the newly
welded pair.
TO avert evils during a new moon
period these people throw stones Into
their neighbOrs' houses The curses
that descend upon the bends OF the
throwers are believed to bring good
luck to everybody concerned, Hence
the day Of The new moon In India is
called the day of stones

Halle G. lester Of
Fine and L. -sIl Arts


The love OF beauty that never passes
beyond outline and color was too
slight an object to occupy the powers
Of the g,nius OF Michelangelo, paint
err, sculptor, poet and artist of Six
teenth-cyntury Italy. There Is clos
er relation than Is commonly thought
between the fine arts and useful arts;
and II Is an essential fact In the his
tory of Michelangelo that his love OF
beauty Is made solid and perfect by
his deep understanding of the mechan-
lie arts. Ralph Waldo Emerson points
out in his essay on the genius. Ar
ehltecture is the bond that unltes the
elegant and the economical arts, and
his skill In this Is a pledge Of his ca
paclty in both kinds, His Titanic
handwriting In marble and trayertin
is TO be found In every part OF Rome
and Florence; and even at Venice, on
defective evidence, he Is said to have
given the plan OF the bridge OF the
Rlnllo. Nor was his a skill In orna'
meat, or confined to the outline and
designs of towers and facades, but a
thorough acquaintance with all the Sc
crets of the art, with all the details
Of economy and strength. Mlchelanglo
