This means that they must make 2,750,000 trips from the hive to the flowers. And when the price of honey Is taken Into consideration It will .readily be seen that the price of bee labor Is too cheap.

BEFORE AND AFTER. How the Vnpnnolnnl Woman Be came Punctual. One very often sees In the journals devoted to wonnon a list of rules by which t.lio uninitiated meimliers of the weaker sex may win the affections of tho stronger. These usually begin, "Never be lato In keeping an appoint ment," go on with much good advice nlHiut wearing roses and "miles wtien greeting their lordshlj and end, "Be a good listener, but talk little." Exactly what wlsouvre compounds tliese sago axioms, deponent refuses to utatc, but sometimes one Is Inclined to believe that It U a man, says the Haiti more News. This page knows a number of young women who are extremely popular wlBi men and who count their suitors by the soore, but not one of these was ever la time for nn engagement In her life. All pride themselves on being uupunctual, selfish end samewtiat heartless. A young woman remarked brasenly the other day that men did not like girls wlio were two prompt "They prefer to he kept wwltlug a bit," she said.

And then ehe broke an engagement with an adoring youth by telephone end went off to take a walk with a young woman of whom she Is fond. Tho married woman present protest ed cynically: "A men may like woman who makes him wait and flouts Irtm before bo la married to her; he doesn't after. Why, when I met John I treated him exactly aa Helen Is now treating Roliert I broke engagements with him wlienever It suited me to do so, and It did very often. If I bad an appointment to lunch with him emne iwhere downtown at 1 o'clock, I would troll In at 2. cool and cairn, to find my dance probAbly "wearing Inwardly, but outwardly composed and dullghtcd to aee me. At least,' I used to say to myself, he can see I am not running after hbn.' My treatment of him had been so scurvy during our betrothal that I really believe John was not quite sure the day we were married whether I would be on hand or not lie was at the house at an unseemly hour to know whether I was well und was up and would be on time. I was only twenty minutes late at the clmroh, but that was because father made such a row 1 had to go then. "The first time that I was to meet John to take luncheon with him after the wedding he made the hour 1 :30. That will give you plenty of time to make a grand toilet and arrive In time,' lie said, and then he added, so berly, 'I should advise you to 'be punc tual. I arrived at 2:30 and looked about for John. He was nowhere In sight, but after a while a beil boy came to me and asked If I were Mrs. Blank, and when I said I was he Informed me that Mr. Blank had waited for me fif teen minutes and then gone back to his office. "I ate luncheon alone and had It out with John that nlgtit 'My dear,' he said, 'I have spent two years, more or less, waiting for you. Now I have mflde up my mind I will do It no more. You must be In time for appointments with me or you will not find me.' That -was three years ago and I aim the most punctual person Imaginable now. I am telling you this merely as an Illustration thnt, though men may be attracted by indifference and care lessness before they are married, they make all possible haste to jnold the girl of their choice Into a punctual and thoughtful woman afterward.", "Men like girls who treat them with Indifference," persisted one of her lis teners, doggedly. 'They nwiy marry such a person, but they marry her to reform her If they do," replied the married woman.

But one day, observing her about to tear up an, old, worn night dress Into dusters, he begged for it, and begged also for some discarded stockings, quite past darning. The next morning, being summoned to escort his mistress on an errand, he appeared In what he bad decided was a fitting cos tume. 'The night-dress had been abbre viated Into a sthlrtaud was belted In with a gorgeous broad belt of bead- work, from which hung his mocha (na tive apron), then nothing until where the stockings, heels and .toes cut out like gaiters, were fastened below euch knee with a four-ln-hand necktie.

Motha and BntterUloa. Borne moths look very much like but terflies, but there are two ways In which you can always tell the one from the other. Each has little slen der feelers growing from the head, but the butterfly's feelers, or antennae, as they are called, have knobs on the ends. The antennae of the moth some times have tiny feathers on them and sometimes little spires, but they are never knobbed.

Womanly Qnalltlea That Men Like. The qualities In a woman that win a man's love are various, but they may all be summed up In one word, and that word Is womanliness. The highest testimony we can give to true woman hood 'Is to acknowledge that Its attrib utes are the sweetest and the most at tractive to be found In life. Gentle ness that Is one thing a man looks for In the woman be wants for his wife. Not the loud-tongued war of selfish seeking, not the restless desire to as sert herself and drive all others from the field. A gentlewoman Is a woman who recognizes her highest rights to womanhood, and does not discredit them by flinging them In the world's teeth. A man loves a woman who Is true. It is part of his view of the woman ho wants to make his own that she Is an angel. He credits her with all good ness and all nobility of soul. If he sees her trying to attain it, however hard the struggle, he admires and re spects her, whatever his own alms may be. But when she pretends to be good and Isn't when she talks of noble deeds and never tries to do them when she tells him he Is all the world to her, and allows him by her conduct that he Is not, when be detects the humbug ; men are much quicker to find out than women, and his respect and his love go. A woman must be loving In a man's Ideal of her. She should have that ten derness' which Is one of her CSlef charms. Loving In spirit, not In word alone, though her words must have gra clousness, and never be rude or unkind, She must show the soft side of her na ture, not the thorny one. He gets plen ty of that from his own sex. Just as It Is his strength and bis manliness that seem to her his most ad mirable possessions, so he looks to find In her what Is lacking In himself. Above all, a man looks to find a woman sympathetic, full of Interest in them. Exchange. A Smart Jacket. An advance model for early fill suits shows a close-fitting Jacket, plain save profuso decoration of buttons, which are set over shoulders and down over sleeves; the latest, however, are cut In one piece with the Jacket. 'The little skirt tits perfectly over the hips and the Joining to Jacket Is hidden by the narrow belt which fastens In frn with a largo button. Breadirlnnlnn Capacity, It Is of the utmost Imimrtance that every human being be fitted for bread winning. The San Francisco catas trophe taught a bitter lesson to thou sands of easy-going mortals. I'hysl dans who had spent years In building up a practice found themselves obliged to begin again at the bottom with young men full of ambition. The rich bad a tlrst taste of bitterness In being obliged to share hardships with fam ilies that had hardened In adversity, Some of these will never recover from the blow because they have no ability to earn a living. Those who are better equipped will find gportunlties of which they can make use. Decide tor Youraelf, No greater evidence of weakness of charneter can be shown than a eontln ual appeal to friends for advice. At ! time we all need the counsel of a gonl ! fiend ; nut constantly to nsK lor it t like constantly IHirruwillK. lANirn to decide small matters for yourself and learn to decide quickly. Better make mistake once In a while from too hasty a decision than to form tho habit of Indecision. It Is the first milestone on the road to failure. I . . What K Wlte Ifeeda. Bhe needs a good temper, a cheerful disposition and a knowledge of how he husband should be treated. She needs a capability of looking on the bright aide of life and refusing to bo worried j by small things. She needs a secure I grasp of such subjects as are of Inter- ; est to men and should not be abov , studying even politics In order to under- stand should her husband speak of them. She needs a sympathetic nature In order that, should sorrow fall upon them, she may be able to give comfort to her husband. She needs to under stand something of sick nursing. A wife with no notion of what to do In the case of Illness Is. but a useless thing. She needs, considerable tact and pa tience the one to ennble her to know when to remain silent and vice versa, and the other to put up with him when him temper is ruffled. A ROIITTHF- AW 4 If the baby has a rash the young mother Is likely to jump to the conclu sion immediately that it has measles or scarlet fever, which Is seldom the case. The measlro develop on the face, but the physician can see It first the mouth. The eruption shows swelling and blotches between that are moon-shaped. In scarlet fever the spots are so near that they seem to run Into one another, though each little speck Is closely defined. Before the doctor conies no solid food should be given the child and a Bpoonful of cas tor oil may safely be administered. Do not hang curtains around the baby's cot. Children need plenty of Ir, especially when sleeping. Do not place the cot In a position where the light will fall on the child's eyes; nor In a draught. Do not make up the baby's bed on the floor. The air Is most pernicious near the floor, and purest In the middle of the room. To Clean Wall Paper. These directions for cleaning wall pn per are likely to bo of service to many a housewife. Proceed as follows : Cut Into eight portions a loaf of bread two days old. With one of these pieces, after having blown off all the dust from the paper by means of bellows, begin at the top of the room, holding the crust In the hand, and wiping lightly downward with the crumb, about half a ard each stroke until the upper part of the paper Is completed all around. Then go around again, with the like sweeping stroke a very little higher than where the upper stroke finished, till the bottom is finished. This opera tlon, f carefully performed, will often moke very old paper look almost equal to new. Ureat caution must be used not to rub the paper hard, nor to attempt leaning It in the horizontal way. The dirty I part of the bread, too, must be continually cut away, and the place re- uewed when necessary. Bnttermlllt aa a Tonic. Ordinary sour buttermilk is a better tonic, Is a beter food than was ever bottled or boxed up by the chemist or doctor. Buttermilk Is a very hearty food. Two glasses a day Is enough for any one. This should be drunk with meals, or else should not be taken within two hours of a meal, says Mc Call's Magazine. Time should be given for it to thoroughly digest before any thing else Is taken Into the stomach It takes buttermilk considerably over an hour to digest, and to drink another glass before the first one is digested Is only to stir up difficulty with the digestive organs. Really, the best way to drink buttermilk Is with the meals, though It may be drunk between meals ns a sort of easily digested lunch. Alrtna; Llnena.

Trolu the ear to recognize pleasant sounding, agreeable voices and listen to your owu critically. A shrill, parrot-like Voice makes the most beautiful woman a trying compan ion.
