SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TELEGRAM. Lord Robert (Veil is very fo;id of beekeeping, and has a fine apiary belonging to him. in connection with'which "the following story is told: He hud sent to Blow's, the bee-keep-ing appliance-makers at Welwyn. for a queen bee. and in answer received a telegram that "the queen bee would arrive bv the 3.40 train." When Lord Robert arrived at the station in the aiternoon he found nearly all the people for miles round waitin's; there. He asked what was the matter, and was told that they had come to see the Queen. Tn answer to this he simplysmiled, and. going into the station, found the bee awaiting him there. When he explained it to the people the language used was not of the very best. Always save twine and brown paper, and they will be at hand when required. Tn a well-regulated house there should aJwa.vs be a drawer where brown and other thick paper are to be found. Roll no pieces of string separately, so that the necessary thickness can be picked out at a elance.
