Tbe honey-bee has been an object of , great interest from the Terr earliest ges; the most ancient historical records make frequent reference to it "A lit tle balm and a little honey" formed part of the present which Jacob sent into Egypt to Joseph in the time of the great famine. The "busy bee" figures also in Greek as well as Hebrew his- lory. The little crcnture has given name to many females of high degree. ' The Hebrew name of the boe (Deborah) was given to Rebecca's nurse, as also to that magnanimous prophotoss whoso courago and patriotism inspired the flagging zeal and waning energies of her dispirited countrymen. The Greek name of the boo (Melissa) was given to one of thuMaughtors of Molismis, King ictcio. it was Biui who, with her sis ter Amalthira, is fabled to liavo fed Jupiter with the milk of goats. She la aid, also, to have lirst discovered tho means of collecting honey from tho stores of tho bees, from which some an cient writers inferred that she not only pore we name, nut mat sho was actu ally changed into a bee. Anollier Creek story tolls of a woman of Corinth, also bearing tho namo of Melissa, who, having been admitted to officiate in tho festivals of Ceres, the goddevs of agriculture, afterward re fused to initiato others, and was torn to pieces for her disobedience, a swarm of heea beinff made to rise from her the asses than somo of tho people, being In search of honey, inopportunely dis turbed a largo swarm of bees. They came out in immense numbers, an I at tacked men and beasts at the same time. Luckily, most of tlio asses were loose, and galloped up tho valley; but tho horses, and peoplo wero very much stung, and obliged to scamper oil" in all d rections. In fart, for half an hour tho bees seemed to have put an end to our jour ney. In the evenng, when they bo caino less (roublesonio and we couM venture to collect our cattlo, we found many of them much stung und swelled about the head. Tlireo asses were miss ing; one died In the evening, and anoth er next morning. Our guido lost his horse, and many of tho pi!e were much slung about the heaw and fnco. Tho fierceness and unrelenting cruolty or the ancient Assyrians, and the tor ror with which their swarming multi tudes filled the inhabitants of the land' they invaded, have caused them to be likened to bees In their mueh-dreaded attacks on such ns havo aroused their anger; "And itshall cometo puss in that day that tho Lord shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Kgynt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria. And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the doso late vallevs, and in the holes of the rocks, 'and upon all thorns, and upon an mimes, lhe "h as ' was mply a call, in allusion to the note of the queen boe, as she issues her royal mandate to hor ever loyal subjects to prepare for action. It lias also been supposed to anmio to a custom prevailing In very ancient times in connection with the bee culture, or honey-raising in the noiKhhorhood of rivers. Lmrinr tin dry season, a number of hives would be placed on a lint-bottomed boat, in the charge of an attendant Very curly in tho morning the boat would bogin tin day's voyage, gently gliding down tho rivor. tho bees sallying forth "with the sun to collect their golden stores and doposit them in their several hives, which they commonly know by somo mark. Tho innumerable Dower's on tho banks of tho rivers olloied tliem a fine harvest-field. At the approach of evening the well-known whistlo or "hiss" of tho care-taker a decent Imitation of tho queen's own call would bring them buck to their hives In multitudes, when tho boat would be paddled back to the farm or other plaoe of rendezvous. As an artiolo of food, and as a much valued and even royal luxury, honey has leen used from tho remotest agos. Nor was it much, if any. less in request as healing medicine for both inward and outward application. And though it mav have fallen somewhat into disuse in those days, when many good things are overlooked, and when tho nrtilicTil too ofton supplants the real, it may bo safely predicted that tho wido ami rapid spread of beo-culturo will induce a re turn to somo of tho wiser uses and methods and forms of adaptation em ployed by our early forefathers, as well as stimulate to new applications and ho product of honey may be tiode to form not only an important article of food and a considerable item of pomes tic revenue, but an amplo soirco of imusonicnt, and a moans of recreation healthful alike to body and mind.

I Many of them have knotty, lumpV, Hut, (wisted and curly noses, whin are a positive humiliation to the own jrs and a so'irce of much mortification to the rest of mankind. But the ugl nosed men and women need no longer suflbr. The hour of their deliverance, fi)m un gainly beaks has come, and if hoy do not haul out tho artillery am lire a salute it is their, own fault. A Berlin surgeon has discoveied the art of repairing and remodeling noses of all sizes and agos. Ho can jtake a nose shaped liko an artichoke trd by his peculur method turn it into a icauti ful and really classic snout le bars nothing. The fact of the rnattcl is he Invites the hideous and pays a pre in' um for it. The man with a nose twisted I ke a gourd handle or a ram's horn is hie pleasure. The man with no nose at all is his delight and joy. Th:s Berlin surgeon, when he gets hold of a bad nose, puts chloroform un der it and thon grasps it with a pair of bono forceps and smashes, cuts and knocks it into a pulp, and then he goes quietly to work, and, with the niisal bono for a foundation, builds a nose that makes the gods weep with envy, and which is a real luxury to wipe and to blow. This discovery Is going to be a bless ng to the human race, for tho reason (hat lie is willing to impart to his broth er professionals the knowledge he has gained concerning noses, and to make thorn the boneticiarlcs of his art This generosity on his part leads us to be lieve that a good (leal of ugliness now existing in t lie human family will be de stroyed. For instance, tho society girl with a pug noso tilted up at the" end, and which causes her to look ns if sho were constantly smelling a boneyard or i garbage barrel, can havo it trans formed into a proboscis as delicate and as captivating ns that worn by the hand- onie girl whose likeness is imprinted on our silver dollar. The person with i short nose can have it properly and artistically elongated; tho long nosocan !)o judic ousl y curtailed, and the fat and warty nose treated in such a manner as to make it appear thin and muscular. 1 ho greatest benefit to be derived from the discovery, however, is the fact that it will make" the men of to-dny braver and readier than they aro to battlo for their personal rights, for the reason that if they get into a light and their noses tiro mashed, they can go off and nut, them in dock and have them repaired at small cost. A broken nose will not amount to much more than a broken walking-stick, and the dudes careful of their good looks will bo happy. It is the one ambition of tho Berlin surgeon's life to secure the job of put t ng a decent noseon.tho Duke of Cum berliind. The Duke was born without a none, and a scrub doctor, who pro tended to know all about such things, mado him a nasal organ out of llesh cut from his nristocratio arm. Unfor tunately, however, for the Duke, his nose looks liko a huge red tumor, wh eh wabbles from ono side to the oth er when ho walks, and trembles and os"illates in tho wind as if it were a clump of jelly. The Berlin noso-niaker says that ho can remove the one-horse ulla'r from the face of tho Duke and build h m a royal smeller that will stnnd up against a forty-mile galo as stiff as tho bowsprit of 'a Dutch iron clad. Ho will guarantee it not to flop, shake or to become loose in its fasten- ngs, and, therefore, wo ndviso the Duke to take advantage of the onpor- unity and get a beak with some back bone to it. .V. 0.

The Canning- Workmanship of the Invent or nf the Doublet" Diamond. The invention of what are called 'doublots" in diamond dealing can bo traced back for centuries. One mode of getting up false stonos has been de scribed by Jeromo Cardan, who has published in detail tho method of the in venior, ono Aocouno. l.ns person s way of working was to procure a thin flake of a very inferior and cheap ex amplo of tho stone ho desired to "inv prove," choosing tlioso which had little color, and might in consequence be procured at a nominal price. As a bottom for his "make-up" he took a bit of crystal which ho had shaped to hi purpose; covering this with a trans parent giiio with which ho hud mixed tho necessary coloring material, so as to bo like tho linest specimen of tho gem -he intended to forge, ho carefully uxeu on tno pane oi stone, and con cealed tho joiling of tlto two so. deftly oy taroiui setting as to niuko pur- causers iancy unit ins gems were not only genuine, but really liner than those of other jowelors.

Doublets in many cases, especially when both parts are really diamonds, aro some what uilheult to detect, even by men who have had great experience in the gem and jewel trades. Often, when these gems havo boon set In n cluster, it ias been lound on examination that at least one of the stones is mado of paste, or is perhaps a doublet. A rather curi ous story went the round of tho press somo years ago. whon, on iho death of a lady of title, it was found that more than one-third of tho family d amonds were compose of false stones. Those imitations had tiocn so bi'.aut.fully exo cuted that none but tho cleverest deal ers were able to detect them, wh'lo in tho case of somo of the stones it was not till their specifio gravity had been tested that a decis'on could be arrived at. It has been found on examinat'on, we believe, that necklaces of so-callod real diamonds have often conta ned twenty per cent, of doublets or other stones of questionable onalitv. Re spectable dealers in jewelry maintain that it is the public who are to hlnmn for the production of false jowe.ls, knowing well enough that srennine. gems could not bo given at tho prices offered for them.
