BURROWING BEES.
Ther Are Rot Social Iiuecta, Like the
Hone? Mnkera.
The burrowhig bees are commonly
ranked with solitary Insects. Certainly
they are not "social," living In organiz
ed communities, like honeybees. Hut
one might venture to call tliem "neigh
borly Insects," for they love to muke
their cavernous hermitages In well
peopled neighborhoods.
Their burrow sites are preferably up
on hard, dry spots, with a bit of slope,
maybe. Therein the mother will sink
a shaft eight or ten Inches deep and
about three-eighths of nn Inch wide.
On either side she will dig out small
ovate cells, five or six In nil, which she
duly provisions and supplies with an
egg n piece.
The burrows ore about the bigness of
the occupant and extend Inward for a
foot or so, with sundry eulnrgeiueuts,
after the fashion of their kind, where
in the young are bred. In the height
of the genson these bee neighborhoods
are the scene of a busy life. The air
resounds with the hum of wings as the
Insects fly to and fro on parental duties
bent, plenishing their nurseries with
pollpn and honey of the flowers. But
just Inside each burrow gate an Inter
esting phase of Insect life goes on. Be
yond the gateway, which Is about the
length of the bee, there rises a vesti
bule a tluy expansion of the burrow
whose use soon appears. Just within
the gateway, with face toward the
opening, one of the housekeepers, now
the male and now the female, but often
er the former, keeps constantly on
guard. And great need there Is for
such sentry duty, for Insect rogues and
thieves besiege the doors to plunder
the Contents of the nurseries or Infect
theuj Witt pnrasltlc eggs. Harper's.
A BATHROOM IN JAPAN.
Tiny In gpnee, Willi a Hound Tab
ml Simple I'll! Intra.
This bnl broom lu Japan was a tiny
space 4 by 6 feet, says a writer in the
Craftsman. In It were four objects, a
stool to sit upon when washing oneself
before getting Into the bath, a shining
brass' wash basin, n wooden pall and
dippe In which to fetch the bnth wa
ter ad the tub. The tub, like most
private baths, was round, casket shap
ed and made of white wood. It was
perhaps thirty Inches in diameter and
twenty-seven Inches high. A copper
funnel or tube passing through the bot
tom went up Inside close to the edge.
This, filled with lighted charcoal, sup
plied beat for the water. The pipe was
higher than the tub, so the water
could not leak Inside. A few trans
verse bars of wood fitted Into grooves
and formed a protection so the bather
could kneel In the tub without coming
In contact with the hot pipe. The walls
of the room were of white wood, with
a pretty grain; the floor of pine, laid
with a sligftt slope and grooved so the
water might flow Into a gutter and
through a bamboo pipe to the yard. A
moon shaped lattice window high up
let In air and light. As a provision for
more ventilation the two outside walls
for a foot below the celling were lat
tice of bamboo slats.
As my eye traveled from object to
object I quickly sized up the cost
for the tub, 8 yen, and It would last
Indefinitely; 2 yen for the brass basin,
C sen for the pail and dipper and 25
sen for the stool. Eleven yen would
fit up my bathroom, and I asked for
nothing nicer.
. The Skin anil Liquid-.
The Bkin has a remarkable power of
absorbing liquids brought Into contact
with It Fluids so taken up are In
pnrt detained locally and In part enter
the tiny vessels (blood and lymph) that
lead to the large blood vessels. In the
days of long ago blood baths were
used, but their employment was found
ed on Ignorance. The most Important
constituents of blood cannot pass
through the skin unless they have been
previously treated chemically. Lo
tions of blood so prepared are In the
present day used by some beauty lov
ers. Milk baths are more In agree
ment with science and common sense.
They are not reconcilable with one's
notions of economy. Fancy bathing In
about ten gallons of milk to secure the
Absorption of a few teaspoonfuls!
Plsreona aa Doctor's Aaalatanta.
A doctor In the north of Scotland
finds carrier pigeons of much use to
htm. He has a scattered practice, and
when on long rounds he takes several
pigeons with him. If one of his pa
tients needs medicine Immediately he
WTltes out a prescription and by means
of the birds forward It to his surgery.
Here an assistant gets the message,
prepares the prescription and dispatch
es the medicine. If, nfter visiting a
patient, the doctor thinks ho will be
required later on in the day ho simply
loaves n pigeon, with which ho can be
called if necessary. London Express.

THE HUMAN BRAIN.
Ita Capacity to Receive the Impraa
slona of a Lifetime.
Authorities differ as to the capacity
of the average brain to receive the Im
pressions of a lifetime. It is pretty
well believed that there Is In the brain
a center of conservation distinct from
the center of perception. We of course
know nothing as to the nature of the
relation of brain cells to precepts and
conservation, but we do know that
there must be a relntlon. The re
searches of Ilnmmerberg and Thomson
show that the number of cells In the
brain Is 0.200,000,000. All stimuli, ex
ternal (through the five senses) or In
ternal (throngh processes), must leave
some trace upon these cells, chemical,
physical or dynamic. These stimuli
are composed of all sorts of precepts
words and sonnds heard; things and
words seen; objects felt, tasted, smell
ed; sensation perceived In our own
bodies; thoughts pushing upward Into
consciousness. And a little reflection
will show how innumerable such Im
prints must be In the course of a single
waking day.
Even without rending, the resident of
a city must receiver an Incalculable
number of Impressions upon his brain
every twenty-four hours. The reading
center olf the brain occupies a compara
tively small area In the hurts of the left
hemisphere and consequently must pos
sess n very small portion of the 9,000,
000,000 cells referred to above. We enn
only guess at the number, but a fair es
timate would le about a twentieth, or,
say, 500,000,000, which In a lifetime of
sixty years would allow us about 23,
000 cells a day for the perception and
conservation of words and sentences
read. These figures may have no
scientific value, but nt any rate they
emphasize a very Important fact, and
that Is that our brain capacity Is limit
ed and that we should be sparing of
the cells we dally squnnder. Dr. Fred
erick Peterson In Collier's.
Aa Mark Twain Saw It.
When Mark Twain was city editor of
the Virginia City Enterprise, back In
the seventies, he used to brighten up
the columns of the paper with comic
paragraphs setting forth the advan
tages of advertising. These para
graphs were based on all kinds of odd
facts on murders, on crop reports, on
kidnnplng, on the weather. One para
graph ran like this:
"Germany has Just discovered a
burled forest In her midst, supposed to
be 10,000 years old. If the man who
lost it had ndvertisej In the Enterprise,
the chances are that It would have
been returned to him that night."
The IiiKenlou- Author.
"I have unite a unique little episode
worked out for my new historical
novel."
"What Is Its tenor?"
"Instead of having my hero lliug the
driver his purse, I propose to have him
proffer the exact legal fare. This will
naturally bring on a dispute uud afford
the hero an excellent and logical oppor
tunity for shedding gore." Philadel

Paint Adds Value
to Property
For every dollar's worth of
paint good paint you put on
your house, you add several
dollars to its value, for the dif
ference in price which property
in good repair will bring over
a shabby building is by no
means measured by the actual
cost of the improvement.
In this calculation we have
not included the insurance feat
ure the saving of the property
from decay.
Good paint looks well, pro
tects well, lasts well.
There are many imitations
of paint which do none of tle
things, yet cost as much or .
more than straight white lead
and linseed oil, the best paint.
Sterling
Pure White Lead
(MoJe by the Oil Dutch Procow)
is the acknowledged standard.
See that it is used on your house.
