A BARGAIN IN HATS
missed Counting out 50 cents in dimes
nickels and pennies she shoved them
at the innocent young attendant and
made good her escape with the fash
ionable womans hat Exchange
The Queen Dee
She possesses the power of choosing
which of her offspring shall be drones
and which workers Some have
thought that this was automatic and
that the narrower worker cell touched
the button so to speak that brought
forth a fertilized egg But the queen
will lay worker eggs in drone cells if
she thinks fit so that settles that
If tho drone is male and the queen
female what is the worker The new
woman of Beedom She has given up
her motherhood for a business career
Sometimes though she lays eggs but
they always hatch out drones of which
it is strictly true to say they have a
mother but no father If the queens
wings are crippled so that she cannot
make her marriage flight her children
are all drones An Italian queen in
a hive of black bees will beget work
ers of mixed blood- but her sons are
pure Italians Drones are useful as
fathers of workers but they cannot col
lect the honey they eat Their tongues
are too short Ainslees
Clnddagh Rlnprs
The old poesy rings are a much
sweeter souvenir than more modern
ones A friend lias one which had be
longed to her great grandmother such
a narrow gold circlet The motto en
graved inside In old lettering was as
follows God above increase our
love The Claddagh rings of Ire
land are now very difficult to procure
that is the genuine specimens of
course There are many imitations
These rings were heirlooms with the
people of the Claddagh a distinct gyp
sylike race of fishermen and were
handed down from mother to daugh
ter as a wedding ring a marriage be
ing scarcely considered legal if an or
dinary ring were substituted They
were made of massive gold decorated
with a heart bearing a crown sup
ported by two clasped hands signify
ing loyalty love friendship
The ITnattnined
The quickest way to make any man
weary of his life is to give him all his
hearts desire The struggle for the
unattained is the secret of joy Here
Is a man who has been giving his years
to a reckless round of pleasure Now
you see him waking up to find that the
deepest needs of his soul are still un
touched Or there is another man who
has given twenty five years to the ac
cumulation of knowledge and at last
we see him like Dr Casaubon in Mid
dlemarch dying with the stores of
knowledge all around him which he
does not know how to use
Didnt Care to Try
A woman in a railroad station the
other day had a great deal of trouble
with one of her children a boy of sev
en or eight and a man who sat near
her stood it as long as possible and
then observed
Madam that boy of yours needs the
strong hand of a father
Yes I know it she replied but
he cant help it His father died when
he was six years of age and Ive done
my best to get another and failed He
cant have what I cant get Would
you care to try yourself

Amazon Ant GnrdeiiH
Dr E Ule contributes to Englers
Jnhrbuch supplement 30 some inter
esting observations on ant gardens
in the Amazon region where they
abound on a large number of goody
plants They are generally spherical in
form and about the size of a walnut
They are formed by several species of
ant which appear to collect the seeds
of manj different plants and to sow
them in these nests covering up the
seedlings with humus when they begin
to germinate In the structure of these
ant epiphytes the foliage and the
roots display characters which espe
cially adapt them for the situation in
which they grow and promote also the
protection of the ants themselves in
their nest Quitij a number of tho
epiphytes were found as denizens of
the ant gardens and nowhere else
The RiRKest Xot the Best
A New York dealer who has han
dled shiploads of fruit said recently
It is often amusing to see men wom
en and children picking out as they be
lieve the choicest fruit at the market
stands If there are a half a dozen
large oranges within sight they will
have them even if it is necessary to
overturn all the rest in the box or bar
rel and this is true with most all other
varieties that are sold by the piece or
dozen They invariably get the poorest
specimens of the whole crop and yet
are not aware of it Very rarely you
will find a person who is a good judge
who will at once size up the heaviest
oranges lemons or bananas regardless
of size and they capture the choicest
fruit
Why Two Ears Are Necessary
Sound travels by waves
- O
from a central point of disturbance
just as waves radiate when a stone is
dropped into still water So far as the
hearing of each individual is concerned
these waves move in a direct line from
the cause of the sound to his ear the
impact being the greatest in the ear
nearest to the source This being the
case a person who has totally lost the
sense of hearing in one ear although
he may imagine that the defect is of
little consequence cannot locate the di
rection of a sound to save his life even
when the center of disturbance is quite
near him

IVlien tlie Eyes Stick
Inflammation of the conjunctiva or
membrane which shields the front of

in color and winding about in great ir
regularity with no discernible order or
plan
