Bee Hints.
As the honey season comes on every
available cell will be filled with brood
pollen or honey, and little spurs of
white comb will appear here and there
along the top bars or in any space into
which they can be crowded. The cells
along the top bars will be whitened by
the plastering on of little bits of new
wax. Some of the stronger colonies
may begin “hanging out,” as nothing
will crowd bet's out of the hive quicker
than a honey flow. All these things
show that the time is at hand for put
ting on the sections.—Cor, American

And now the Illinois legislature is
placing racing in hot water—-a bill has
passed the senate prohibiting pool sell
ing and making it u malfeasance in
office if the sheriff fails to punish of
fenders. Should this bill pass the house
of representatives there would be much
trouble in store for the race track pro

game altogether in the Windy City.
itontn For Sheep.
If the best results are to be expected
in sheep husbandry, some succulent
food must be provided. Mangels and
turnips are best and are very cheaply
grown. It will pay every sheep feeder
to grow roots, so the flock may have a
feeding every day during the entire
winter. Boots keep the bowels in good
condition und aid digestion, and tills
keeps down any tendency to a feverish
condition. Plan for a root crop now.—

Varnish and Paint Stains.
If the stain is on a coarse fabric
dissolve by saturating with turpen
tine. Use alcohol if on a line fabric.
Sponge with chloroform if a dark
ring is left by the turpentine. Be
very careful not to use the chloro
form or turpentine where there is
either lire or artificial light.

America. Thus at the age of twenty
three he entered into a position of re
markable financial power.
It was the wish of the elder Hyde
that his son should succeed him as
president, but some time before his
death, realizing that he must pass
away before hie son should reach the
years of necessary business knowledge
and experience, another arrangement
was made. This was that James W.
Alexander should become president
and young Hyde first vice president

The Old Time Parlor.
The days of the parlor are fast going.
There was once a time when every
family, no matter how poor, bad its
parlor. And generally the purlor was
a most useless place, but it was the
pride of the housewife. The Observant
Citizen remembers some time ago when
the lady of the house insisted that he
should see “her parlor.” Her husband
smiled good naturedly, and they both ;
led the way to a big front room which ‘
was locked. The door was unlocked,
and the parlor got its first fresh air in
months. The little family had expend
ed much money on the parlor. Every
thing was now but the stuffed birds
under glass cases. The design of the
carpet was wonderful in that it consist
ed of bright red roses. One felt like
stepping into a be 1 of flames. A horse
shoe sofa, very e av.-t, was the principal
article of furniture, while at the win
dows were the stiffest lace curtains you
ever saw. The room had a musty
smell due to long confined air. It was
“luxury imprisoned” on a small scale
and the finest example of the old time
useless parlor.—Manchester Union.
Shnveil While He Slept.

i “ ‘By Jove,’ I said, ‘how slowly my
j beard grew yesterday! I hardly need
j to shave today.’
j “It is, however, a matter of religion

I so I bade the native servant, a man
. provided by my host, to fetch my
shaving things. The native smiled.
S “ ’But you are already shaved, sir.’
he said.
“‘Already shaved?’said I.
“ ‘Yes, sir,' he answered. ‘I shaved
you while you slept. That Is the cus
tom here.’
“I found that he was right. I found
that in India these wonderful native
servants shave their masters in bed
every morning without waking them.
“All through my stay in India I was
shaved like that. It was almost enough
to keep me in that hot and torrid coun
try forever.”—Louisville Courier-Jour
