A Pound of Honey.
"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

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.

I "Smack Dab."
A Doniphan County teacher asked
her charges recently to observe the
shadows the trees cast at noon, and
report to her.
"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.
Three Months Counting Leeches.

before a glass costing 75 centimes that
