"When you oat a spoonful of honey you have very little notion as to the amount of work and travel neces sary to produce it. To make one pound of clover honey, bees must de prive G2.000 clover blossoms of tlielr nectar, and to 'o this requires 2,7 r >o,- 000 visits to the blossoms by the bf>es. "In other words, one bee, to collect enough nectar to make one pound of honey, must KO from hive to (lower and back 2,750,000 times. Then, when you think how far tl'ese bees some times fly in search of these clover fields, ofiener than not one or two mill's from the hive, you will begin to get a small idea of the number ol miles one of the industrious li tla creatures must travel in order that you may have the pound of honey that gives them so much trouble. "It may also help you to understand why the bee is unaniiable enough to sting if you get in its way. Wen I one has to work so hard to accom plish so little, it is quite irritating tc be interfered with." iiOTHER FOREIGN CROP FAILS , French Peasant Girls Refuse to Sell Their Hair. | A recent cable dispatch from Paris | declares that another crop besides | wheat which has failed in France this j year is that of human hair. July is I the month when the human hair mer j chants goto France from the United , Stntes and England to visit the towns ' and villages of the Limousin, of lirit ! tany and Auvergne, where the annual j hair markets are held. High prices I are paid in New York and Chicago I for "postiches" of French growth, ! which are best suited for the require ! men's of the present fashion of large ! hats and of the latest modes of coif- I fare, hut the peasant girls of Limoges I and Brittany have now abandoned the | j national bonnet which hitherto con j ceaied their shorn heads, and season I they refuse to sell their hair, saying i that they need it for their own use. This strike of the peasant, girls has ! given a disastrous setback to the i French trade in human hair, and the : dealers, unable to do any business in France, are leaving there for the Ty rol ami other countries. Advantage of Cash. The man who does business on a I cash basis can often secure better ; terms than the man who wants a | long time to pay his account with the i wholesaler. Some of the bargains se cured by the mammoth houses who i have plenty of money on hand all the time are surprising. The small re tailer who can pay for goods immedi ately undoubtedly gets some of the bargains in the wholesale world. A hundred credit men know his record, j . They pass no sleepless nights in think- j ing out whether it is safe to trust ' such a man, and he is going to set j a better deal from his wholesaler I than his competitor who sells on j • credit. The trader who does businctf i on a cash basis often gets the cream of the buying market. lie usually gats those who have money fifty-two weeks in the year. The question of giving credit enters at all times into the life of almost every one. It is almost im possible to make a rule never to ex- - tend credit, but when it is necessary j there should he a hard and fast under- j standing about payment.—Boot, and j Shoe Recorder. Up v.'ith the Times. "I was detained in getting here," explained the calle", who had come to look at. the flst. "I boarded one of those pay ..s-you-enter cars, and the conductor refused to change a tl\e doilar bill. So I had to get off, hunt up change for the bill, and take a later car." "That's all right," said the agent of ! the building. "I'll show you the | rooms now." I After half an hour's inspection the 1 caller declared himself satisfied. "I think I'll take the flat," he said. ! "By the way. my moving expenses are going to be pretty heavy, and very likely I shall be short, of cash for a while. If I should >riy the first month's rent a couple of weeks or so 1 after moving in,l presume it would be all right?" "No, sir," grimly answered the agent, who did not much like his looks, anyhow. "This is a pay-as-you enter house." —Youth's Companion. Signboards in Japan.

"Well, James," said the teacher, when school took up in the afternoon, "what did you notice?" "The shadow was smack dab against the tree," was the ready re ply. "What?" said the teacher. "Smack dab against the tree," re plied Jiminie. "Where did you come from?" she asked the lad. "Missouri," lie replied. "O-o-o-oh!" murmured the teacher, apparently satislted.
