It is somewhat difficult to ascertain the age of the drones, because the poor fellows are so often hustled out of the way, for the simple reason that they are no longer wanted. But we may be safe in assuming It is something less than the age of the worker. If kept in a queenless hive they might live for three or four months, perhaps. Age of the Queen. As the queen does little or no out door work, and is seldom killed by violence, as are the drones, we might expect her to live to a good old age, and this she does, despite Jier ardu ous aviparous duties. Some queens die seemingly of old age the second season, but generally they live through the fourth year. They are seldom profitable after the third year and it is usually the case that the Italians have a young queen “help ing her mother’’ in egg laying du ties, before she comes unprofitable. If a very large amount of brood is found in a hive, two queens will of ten be found, busily employed, and this point should he remembered , while seeking to introduce valuable queens. Alfalfa 0P Lucerne. There is a difference of opinion in regard to this plant, especially to itg adaptibility to the average soils of the different States. In the great deserts of the West,—California, Ari zona, Idaho—and wherever irrigation is depended upon to raise crops, al falfa is a great honey plant—perhaps one of the greatest in the world; cer tainly the greatest for artificial pas tures. The beekeeper is in need of very little in the great American Des ert. where the weather is favorable for the flight of bees, and where al falfa is grown in fields of thousands of acres. Some writers say that the rain wo have here would be fatal to it during the majority of s eas( ns. Others say that the rain, provided the land is underdrained, will do no harm. Glossary.

Mothers are Just as interested to know that their boys’ clothes are made as carefully and under Just as healthful conditions as their little girls’ clothes are made at home. It is for this reason, so that moth ers can be sure of the conditions un der which their boys’ clothes were made, that Ederhelmer, Stein & Co., the large makers of XtragooD boqs’ clothes in Chicago, place their Xtra gooD label on each suit. This label guarantees that the ma terials used are Just what they ap pear to be and what is claimed for them; that the garments are made under the most healthful conditions, because the model, modern tailoring •hop* of Ederhelmer, Stein & Co. are the finest of their kind in America. They are new buildings, built with windows on all sides, so that the fresh air freely circulates, and the sunshine penetrates even to the most remote corners of the workrooms, which are kept clean with the most scrupulous care.

Shall They Have Thanksgiving? Dr. Jacobs, of the Thornwell Or phanage, Clinton, S. C., writes: “A little child alone in the world, its bright black eyes filled with tears, came to me held by the hand of a good woman. Only five years old, fatherless, motherless, she finds her self after a long ride on the cars, un- | der the care of a friendly traveler, | at the door of the Orphanage. But j poor little thing, she knows nothing 1 of where she is, does not even know | the place from which she came; she i hag her name written on a slip of paper as an introduction to the kind friends who are hereafter to care for her. She brings a little package un- i dor her arms.—it is her all of woildly i goods. So it was, only a few weeks ago, but now how differf-nt. Tears are dried. She is opening her bright eyes to the lessons that come to her daily. Falling into the routine of chapel and school and dinner and j play, siie is waking up, her young : soul is speaking through lips and fingers and p et and dimpled cheea. “Someone now loves % the little girl. Someone puts her to sleep at night I after her lips have whispered “Our I Father.” She is finding a home, she is finding herself, she will some day i find God.” This little child was welcomed to the loving care 0 f the Thornwell Or- | phanage. Every one of the 250 chil dren in the school of that institution have had more or less of the same ex perience. It is true that between them and grim necessity, there is to day a strong wall of defence. But the people who love God and little children are that wall. The Orphan age is under Presbyterian control, but It is for all orphans. It none away because of its father's faith. There are 158 orphans from South Carolina under its care, 02 from Georgia. 23 from Florida and the rest from ten other Southern States. Not one has a living father.

Alter more logs had been thrown on the lire and pipes lighted, the talk drifted around to thd middle fork of the American river and country round about “The strongest remembrance I have of that country is of the big grizzly that chased me out,” said Bill Bailey. “I was a-pickin’ wild strawberries up on the side of the mountain, wneu some pebbles, dirt, an’ one thing an’ attotbex came a clatterin’ down; you all know how it is on a hill-side when something heavy is movin' above you. I looked up, and s’elp me if there wasn’t a whoopin’ big grizzly a sneak in’ me; yes, sir, doin’ the sneak act right up on me. “You ought to seen me go down that mountain; I’ll bet my tracks was a rod apart, and in some places I didn’t leave no tracks—Jest nacher- ally went through the air. But the hear was hittln’ only the high places, too, an’ the faster I went the faster he came. I could hear his ‘woof’ right behind me. an’ sometimes I believed I felt his hot breath on the hack of my neck. But I fooled him good an’ plenty." “How?” “I’d crossed the river on my way up. an’ while the ice would bear me, I knowed it wouldn’t hold no no fif teen hundred pound grizzly, so I headed for the river an’ out on the ice. So did the hear, but not far out. He went through, an’ I kep’ on; I didn’t even stop to see if he got out. I wag afeared he would.” “Oh—you said you was pickin’ strawberries." “So I was. so .1 was; but I didn’t tell all the story, for it would be too long. That bear chased me from Au gust to January.’ Buy a Home With Rent Money! ♦ You can do this bj taking stock in the Cherokee Building and Loan Associa tion.
