Having “a bee in his bonnet ‘ is nu ex-
pression that we bear frequently ems

meat.
the little insects that. are the joy of the
npinrist's heart- There are two explana—
tionspf its origin. In ancient times the
connection bctwcen bees sad the will

admitted been to pandi e. The ancients
spoke of souls as bC-S. Home it was
that the moon was called s bee by the
priestcsses of Ceres. the goddess of :sg—
ricnlture. and one who had bccome t In-
natic or moonstruck was said to have
“bees in his bend." Nowadays we spunk
of aman. for instance, as luring the
.Prcsidentisl bee in his bonnet. although
we do not mean to lusinustc that he is It
sll lacking mentslly.

Another explanation of the origin of
the term is founded upon the fsct that
the Anglo‘Saxons csrricd a. jewel or or-
Vnunent in their caps. which was known
by the name «if “beta." But tbs! sort of
