BEES AND HONEY.
Sow They Have Figured In the
World's History.
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.

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. Sta'e.

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
