The organisation of bee-life is a fascinating study. The workers in a beehive may be divided, says the University Correspondent, into (1) .harvesters, who bring in honey and pollen from flowers, wax from buds of pines and • poplars, water to mix with pollen and i honey to make the pasty food for the larvae; (2) scavengers, who in early morning carry out debris, including dead, sick or injured workers; (3) ventilators, who stand erect and keep their wings in constant movement in order to ventilate the hive; (4) guards, who defend the hives from wasps, robber bees, and other enemies. The physicians of the Washington Emergency Hospital resuscitated a boy of twelve years, who had apparently succumbed to an anaesthetic, by massaging his heart. The lad was brought/ , to the hospital suffering from bloodpoisoning, and it was decided to oper/SjVte on his. knee. The anaesthetic was applied, but, before the operation could be completed, respiration ceased and the pulse stopped. Artificial respiration was tried for six minutes, but the body became rigid and cold. The physicians decided to open the body and massage the heart. ' This was done for seven minutes, and then breath returned. In eleven minutes more the heart pulsated, and the lad was reviving, when the blood-poisoning caused his death. A meeting of Mr C. E. Major's committee will be ..held in' the Foresters' Hall on Monday evening. Mr W. J. Walsh, of. the inspection staff, Wellington, has, taken up the duties of relieving postmaster at Hawera. 'Mr Hill, who has been suffering a rather severe illness, is . somewhat better to-day. The Methodist Church service to-mor-row morning at Normanby will be held in the usual place, and not in the Town Hall as is advertised in another column. SHORT— BUT POINTED. The celebrated R.- Burton says: — "Live not beyond thy means. Give /cheerfully. Pay thy dueß willingly. ••iße not a slave to thy money; omit not \occaeion, embrace opportunity,' lose no time. Be humble to thy superiors, respectful to thine equals, affable to all, but not familiar. Flatter no man. Lie not, dissemble not. Keep thy word and Be constant in a good resolution. Speak truth. Be not opinionative, Maintain no -factions. Lay no wagers, \ffiake no comparisons. Find no faults, meddle not with other men's matters. Fear not that which cannot be avoided. , Undervalue not thyself. Accuse no man, commend no man rashly. Go not to law without great cause, gtrive not with a greater man." He could have added, "Keep up appearances. Dress well. See tbat your boots '^re well polished. Use Tan-01. Superior to all. The last word in polishes. Sixpence per tin at all stores." A GOOD START IN LIFE Is what the "Gilrutb" Calf Food gives your calves. It is celebrated throughout the Dominion, and solves the problem, "How to raise calves successfully without whole milk." It replaces exactly the fats taken out by the separator. Obtainable from Bannby and Cole, Hawera.-- Advfc.
