I saw that spur on the table at Jerniyn Street on 20th ult., and it was indeed a ' Wobbler ' at one end with a tin Carlin cutter at the other, so that when using the cutter the spikes of the ' business end ' would wobble into the palm of the baud in a highly successful manner. Seriously, it is a most useful little implement. Mr. Bellairs starts a new theory:—' The bee which hesitates is lost, and cannot sting.'

Their bees often meander leisurely about, searching for a nice place, and finding one they deliberately lay hold of the skin, as it were, with boot-hooks, and proceed to insert their weepon with all the calm determination and vigour Mr. B. would exhibit in putting on a Wellington boot. In short, they sting a la belle air, but not a la Bellairs. ' 0 Sophonisba! Sophonisba 0!' Our dear ' Useful Hints' in his remarks on experts last week makes us smile all over.
