ODD FANCIES ABOUT BEES.
Old-Time Belief That Honey Wa» of
Celestial Origin and Other
Queer Notions.
In these days of scientific bee col* |
ture, when bees are trained to pack ;
their honey in pound boxes ready for
market, and are as much under the
control of the beemaster a3 sheep are
of their shepherd, it is difficult to
realize what quaint delusions prevailed
only a few centuries back in every
thing relating to the hive and its in
habitants, says the Chicago Daily
News. The sources and composition
of honey were subjects for many in
genious speculations. One old writer
affirms it to be “made of the ayre.
most of all at the rising of the starrea,
chiefly the dogge shining out early in
the morning,” although he admits him
self in doubt as to “whether it be the
sweate of the heavens or a certain*
spittle of the starres or a juyce that the
ayre purgetb from himselfe." This be
lief in the celestial origin of honey
runs through all the old treatises on
apiculture, from the time of Virgil
downward. It was supposed to be a
kind of manna from heaven, and lta
quality depended greatly on the favor
able or unfavorable juxtaposition of the
stars at the time of its descent
Although the existence In each hive
of one bee much larger than all the
others was generally recognized in old
en times, this was believed to be mere
ly a ruler or king over the rest That
the large bee was actually the mother
of the whole colony never seems to
have occurred to anyone until recent
times. This king bee Is very fanci
fully described as having “a lofty pace
and countenance expressing majesty,
and a white spot in his forehead glis
tening like a diadem.” In each hive,
also, there were “subordinate govern
ors and leaders and captains and
colonels, marked by crests, tufts or tas
sels on their heads, some yellow, some
murrey." Among various other duties
It was the king's part to go out each
evening in search of any bees that had
not returned to the hive by sunset, and
to show them the way home.
From the earliest times honey ap
pears to have been held in extraor
dinary favor as a universal specific for
human ills. As a hair restorer It was
largely recommended, rubbed in plen
tifully night and morning, and if dead
bees were dried, pounded and worked
up into a thick pasts with the honey,
its hair-producing capabilities were
much enhanced. This mess had to be
plastered on the bald places of the head
ever night, with infallible results in
the morning, If one may credit a cer
tain fifteenth century writer. For
weak eyes the same authority says to
take a handful of the heads of bees,
burn them, and mingle the ashes with
honey gathered in the dog days. The
eyes were then anointed liberally with
the mixture, and clearness of vision
was the invariable reward.
In the old days the situation of a*
beehive was a matter of prime impor
tance. It was to be placed always on
the south side of a stream of water,
and never in a place where there were
echoes, as an echo was very injurious
to bees. A little gravel was to bs put
down in the neighborhood of the hives,
as in windy weather the bees needed
small stones to carry about in their
flight as counterpoises. The baekeeper
was recommended to shave and keep
his head close-cropped, long hair on
head or face being extremely offensive
to his charges, and in attire he was to
avoid anything of a red color, as this
was detrimental to the bees.
CURIOUS WORMS OF NORWAY
They Gather in Great Numbers Form
ing a Serpent-Like Mass
When Migrating.
The Sciaras, of the genus Tiplux, a tiny
wormlike creature which is found ia
the forests of Norway and Hungary dur
ing the month of July or early in August
gather in huge numbers preparatory to
migrating in search of food or for a
Change of conditions. When setting out i
on this journey, says Nature, they stick
themselves together by means of some
glutinous matter, and form a huge ser
pentlike mass, often reaching a length
of between 40 and 50 feet and several ,
inches in thickness. As the scaria is i
only on an average of about three-thir
ty-seconds of an inch in length, with no
appreciable breadth whatever, the num
ber required to form a continuous line j
of the size above mentioned Is incal- i
culable.
Their pace is, of course, very slow, j
and upon meeting an obstacle, such a a
a stick or stone, they either writhe over
or around it. sometimes breaking into
two bodies for the purpose. A celebrated
French naturalist says that if the rear
portion of this snakelike procession be
brought into contact with the front part t
the Insects will keep moving round in
that circle for hours, never seeming to
realize that they are getting no further
on their Journey. If the portions be
broken In two the procession will unite
In ashorttlme. When the peasant meets
one of these processions he will lay some
obstacle In front of it. If it passes over
It It Is a good omen.
The Leopard of the Snows,
When we look at the leopards In a
menagerie our minds instinctively turn
to pictures of the hot tropics and the tor
rid lands of the equator. But there are
leopards that love the snow, and never
willingly descend below the levels
where snowstorms occur in summer &a
well as In winter. The New York Zoo
logical park possesses, at present, a
beautiful specimen of the “snow leop
ard," whose home is among the lofty
mountains about Thibet. Thousands of
tanned skins of the snow leopard are
lurried to Shanghai for sale, but the liv
ing animal Is rarely seen away from his
cool mountain home.—Youth's Compattr
loo.

How to Find Out.
You can easily determine if your kidneys are
out of order by setting aside for 24 hours a
bottle of the urine passed upon arising. If
upon examination it is cloudy or milky or has
a brick-dust sediment or small particles float
about in it, your kidneys are diseased, and
FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE should be taken
at once.
G. B. Burhans Testifies After Four Years.
G. B. Burhans of Carlisle Center, N. Y., writes:
“About four years ago I wrote you stating that I had been entirety
cured of a severe kidney trouble by taking less than two bottles of
Foley’s Kidney Cure. It entirely stopped the brick-dust sediment and
pain and symptoms of kidney disease disappeared. I am glad to say that
I have never had a return of any of those symptoms during the four
years that have elapsed, and I am evidently cured to stay cured, and
heartily recommend Fotey’s Kidney Curs to any oas suffering from
kidney or bladder trouble. ’
