BURROWING BEES.
1 ilioy Are N??t Social luieotn, Like the
Honey Makers.
| The burrowing boos are commonly
' ranked with solitary Insects. Certainly
they are not "social," living In organlz
ed communities, like honeybees. But
one might venture to calf them "neigh
| body insects." for they love to make
fheir cavernous he-mltages In well
peopled neighborhoods.
J Their burrow sites are preferably up
on haril. dry spots, with a bit of slope.
I maybe. Therein the mother will sink
j a shaft ??ijrlit or ten inches deep and
I about three-eighths of an inch wide. !
j On cither side she will die out small I
ovate cells, five or six iu all. which she !
duly provisions and supplies with an :
ess apiece.
The borrows are about the bigness of
. the occupant and extend Inward for a j
: foot or si. with sundry enlargements,
after the fashion of their kind, where i
; iu the young are bred. Iu the height I
of the -i'js in these bee neighborhoods
are the scene of a busy life. The air
resounds with the hum of wings as the
insects tlv to and fro on parental duties
bent, plenishing their nurseries with
pollen and honey of the flowers. But
ust inside each burrow gate an inter
esting phase of insect life goes on. Be
vend the gateway, which is about tbe
i'Migth of the bee, there rises a vesti
bule?a tiny expansion of the burrow?
whoso use soon appears. Just within
rhe gateway, with face toward the

the contents of the nurseries or infect i
them with parasitic eggs. Harper's.

A LUCK\ CHOICE.
Bow a Piimoui KnRllah Autltursu
Won a Fortune In a Lottery.
I Mary Russell Mltford, the ICngllsh
authoress, when a child won a fortune
In a lottery. Her works comprise
poems. dramas. tales and descriptive
sketches. Sin- wrote three tragedies?
| "Julian, I'he Vespers of Palermo"
and "IJienzi." The la<st mimed had a
uotable run ou the stage. But It Is her
tales and sketches, thrown off appar
ently with little effort, hut full of grace
and charm, that have giveu her lasting
fame. The >t'irv of the lottery is quite
romantic. The family were in sore
straits and h id come up to dingy lodg
ings in I. in !on. One day? her tenth
birthday. ;is it happened? Miss Mltford
and her father were walking about
London, when he took her into au office I
where an Irish lottery was soon to be
drawn. Pointing to ? >me bits of print- !
t\l paper l u ' we s! guinea nee she had no i
Idea ofi that l iy up m the counter, be I
asked her t < choose the number she
liked best a ; a birthday present. She
selected No. I. Not being a whole
ticket, another number was suggested,
but she firmly stuck to her first choice,
pointing out that the figures cast up i
to ten. the number of her years. The
office being able to complete the ticket,
the whole of it was purchased. Time
passed on. and one Sunday morning j
while prepar'ng for church the clerk of
the lottery oi;i< <V geared to tell them
that an express h;i,| just arrived from

THE MEERSCHAUM PIPE.
It Wax Invented b> Katnl Kotvute*.
a I'esth Shoemaker.
Kavol Kowates. a Pesth shoemaker,
invented the meerschaum pipe, lie
ilied in 17tH. A large piece of meer
schaum was brought to Tcsth by
Count Andrassy in 1T20. It had been |
given to the count in Turkey, lie 1
fetched it home because, as a piece
Df white clay of extraordinarily light
specific gravity, it pleased him.
Kavol Kowates was noted in Testh
tor his skill in carving, and Couul
Andrassy took his chunk of light white '
L'lay to him aud said:
"Make, fellow, something pretty out
of this." <
The ingenious Kavol, a great smok- j
;r, thought that the porousness of the
white clay adapted it well for pipes. I
ind accordingly he made two from It, j
me for himself and one for Count
Andrassy. , j |
Tbe pipes were charming, and they (
smoked superbly. The fame of them
spread. In course of time meerschaum
iiining and meerschaum pipe making
lecaeie two of the recognized indus
rles of the world.
The original Kavol Kowates pipe, the <
world's firsi ineei-schauin, is still pre- .
lerreri in the I'esth museum.

and a form of rye diseuse. He de

tin- teeth won- in wry bad coudition. 1
Tin- cuius were soft and spongy, bleed- j
lug easily, while tiny drops of pus coui'!
be pressed uiii i'r..tn 'heir margins. The j
breath had a s.oir smell, and the com
plcxion was ?f a muddy, sallow tint.
In caring for these cases the first step
was to purify the mouth and put the
teeth into good condition. Such pro
cedure. together with suitable ionics
and local eye treatment, brought about
s perfect recovery. This is only on*
example of the serious nature of dental i
diseases.
