A Tragic History.
It was given to Ring Edwarcl years
ego by a very valued friend, and the
late Ring always regarded this caster
as a sort of mascot,
His Majesty had it sent up every
-morning on his breakfast -tray, and
even when Ite went to the house of a,
friend this mascot was among the ar-
ticles always taken ±ivith.the monarch.
It appeared on his breakfast -tray when
It was sent up to his room on the very
morning of the day he died, and the
dying King said to the servant: "I
am glad you have not forgotten my
mascot. I shall never see it again."
But the treasure -vault contains but
a part of the treasures at Marlborough
House. In the Green Drawing -room
are two carved tapestry -covered
,chairs, given to their Majesties by the
late Sir Richard Wallace, the raan who
beaueathed the Wallace Gallery to the
nation. These chairs are said to be
worth. ten thousand dollars apiece.
Under a glass case in another apart-
ment is a fan of beaten gold, Derma-
naented with a moat delicdte tracery
work. It was despatched as a Christ-
mas present to Queen Alexandra by an
Indian prince some years agO. It was
sent by a servant ot the prince.- The
first part of the servant's journey lay
through a jungle, and here lisn'was at-
tacked and killed by a tiger. The case
--laintaining the -fan was afterwards
found and sent back to the prinCe,
three yearsafter it had been first sent.
Once more it wasaiespatched, and this
time reached Marlborough House in
safety. One of the rooms at IVIarl-
borough House is furnished with- all
the furniture, ornanaents, and pictures
that were .in Ring Edward's writing -
room at Buckingham Palace. -
A Screen Worth a Fortune
Two, objects of art in the -room
specially prized, by Queen Alexandra
are two genuhie Tanagree statuettes,
nurchased in Paris for her by the late
,
'King during one of their early trips
after they wore married. In this room
Is also a pencil eketch of King Ed-
ward when Prince of Wales, done by,
an artist in a restaurant in Paris at
which his Majesty was dining: and a
screen'completely covered with photo-
graphs of the late Ring's personal
,friends. The 'first photograph was
gsted on it two years after the King's
arriage, and,,the last a year afterlife

OW BEES KEEP WARM.
•
Wortderfpl 'Way in Which They Gen
erate lIeat in Winter.
The bee upholds his reputation for
industry throughout the winter months
as during the summer, Being suss
ceptible to cold, the bee must have
some means of sepplying warmth.
It was found by experiment that
only the shell of the cluster made tey
the bees' in cold weather is compact.
This is formed by one of several lay-
ers of bees all solidly arranged with
their heads inward, their hairs inter-
lacing. ° a
This arrangement is perfect for
conservation of the heat within. Ex-
cept for an oceasional shift of posi-
tions the bees forming the shell are
quiet. But within the shell strange
things are going on.
It is here that the heat is generated.
And the antics are not alike our own
"when we are cold. ,L
The bees are packed loosely within
the shell so that there is plenty of
space for many bees to be exercising
at a. time. Rapid fanning of the wings,
shaking the body from side to side
rapid breathing and other movement,s1
are all parts of the scheme for raising
the ternperature.
In one particular instance, when a
bee had bee11 rapidly fanning with his
wings for seven and a half minutes,
the thermometer nearest him rose half
a degree Fahrenheit.

Concerning Tile Drains.
It is not enough to think that your
tile -drain outlets are all performing
right. Best go and see. t Muslcrats,'
or boys trappng or hunting rabbits,
may have plugged up the tiles, thus
stopping the free flow of water from!
the outlet. Ita'Ybd a sod from the
bank above has dropped down, ob-
strutting ,'the flow. Caving dirt
from the creek bank will shut off an,
otherwise good outlet. In fact, sof
many things can happen to close these
much-needed drains in spring -time
freshets, that you can do rio better
half -day's work than to take a slia-de
over your shoulder and make an en-
tire round of all these outlets. We
once found a rabbit wedged tightly in-
to one of our farm drains several
yards from the outlet. and we had to
dig out ntiniber of tiles in order to
remove the ,obstruction, which would
have 'made the drain useless for many
months. See to it that all outlets
are kept open.
