Cellar WfnterinS of Bees.

THE problem Of wintering bees success
fully has been a difficult N to solve, and
for several years it has puzzled the brains
of all the best aPiarians of the country.
Opinions and theories as to the cause Of
losses, and the means Of prevention, were
plenty enough and seemingly plausible,
but when put into practice they would not
invariably work as expected. Bees would
die when surrounded by the most favora-
bic conditions, apparently, and bees would
prosper and come out all right in the
spring under what appeared to be cX-
trcmcly U~nfavOrabIe conditions. The ques-
ton is not settled yet, but a majority of
bcc-keepcrs, after trying all methods, have
decided that cellar wIntering is the ucst.
But all does not depend UPON the place Of
wintcring, Much depends upon the con
ditiOn of colonies at the commencement of
winter. They must be ~populous-full of
young becs-which condition can always
be secured by commencing in time. They
must have honey enough to winter Oh
not less than twenty pounds to the hive.
The honey must be pure and sweet. If it
has soured in the cells, as it frequently
does, substitute sweet honey, or white
sugar strip. There must be empty space
in the central combs for the bees to cluster
in. This can be secured by removing a
frame and putting the rest farther apart.
Winter passages through the combs are a
great convenience for the bees, as it saves
them from travelling up over the frames.
Before putting into winter quarters lay
small sticks N top of the frames, and on
these lay a piece of carpet or quilt. This
will make a passage for the bees over the
frames, under the quilt. The quilt will
preserve the heat, but allow the moisture
to pass off. Having all these conditions
filed, wait for a fine day in November,
when the bees fly freely, and then put
them in the cellar. Put them where they
are to stay, contract the entrances, keep
the cellar perfectly dark, and on no ac-
count disturb the bees till spring. If the
cellar is dry, dark, quiet and properly
ventilated, you have done all you can, and
must wait for the result.-An Old Bee

New York Fashions.

CoCK's-FEATHER RUCHEs of dark green
ish hues are greatly in favor for trimming
black silk costumes. They. are especially
liked with suits completed by a wrap OF
the same, as they trim outside garments
veiy handsomely. These outside wraps
of silk are very thickly wadded, to give
the effect of fur Innings. A new de-
sign, more lately introduced than sacques,
makes these garments with Dolman backs
and sacque fronts, the sleeves beginning
at the elbow in Dolman fashion.
Among the richest black wool costumes
are those of acknowledged cloth of the
heavy quality of drap d'ete, yet not
twilled. This is made into stylish
basques, with deep aprons that have
square backs, and trimmed with wide
black braid in which are silver threads.
Folds of silk and of braid pass down the
back of the basque and form a loop,
through which the sash of the over-skirt
is passed.
There is a tasteful new collar that stands
up around the neck, and also lies down in
the Byron shape, giving a pretty finish to
the necks of dresses. 1t is made by
merely extending the top of a Byron collar
to form a band half an inch wide.
Perforated chamois vests lined with
flannel and worn under wrappings add
greatly to the comfort of the wearer in
cold weather, and the perforations do
away with the Embellishments once at
tributed to them. They are made in
basque shape, with sleeves, and cost $3.50;
without sleeves they are $500. Drawers
and undershirts, designed to be worn over
flannel, the better to exclude the air, are
made of the same material, and cost from
S.. 90 to $6.O 0.-Harper's Bazaar.

MO0dy'S Bible.

Mr.. Moody's Bible is an interesting
book. 1t was given him by Il friend, and
bears on the fly leaf the words: ID. l..
Moody, Dublin, December, 1S12-'God
is Love- w. Fay" The Bible is an
Svo. volume, with flexible black morocco
covers and turned edges. Though given
Moody in the last month of 1912, it ap-
pears as if it might have seen ten years
service. Some of the leaves are worn
through with handling. But nearly every
page gives another and more positive
proof of the study Mr.. Moody has given
the book. In the Old Testament many
portions are annoted on nearly every page.
Especially is this true Of those parts treat
ing of the history of the Israelites, the
chosen people of God. But in the New
Testament, open the book wherever one
may, the passages are marked and an
notated in black, red INT blue ink 10 a
wonderful extent. Sometimes certain
words are underscorcd; again a whole
verse is inclosed il black lines, with mys-
alphabet marked opposite. All around
the margins and at the chapter heads are
comments on certain passages-an idea
embodied in two or three words. with the
more important word underscored. Turn
ing to the texts of the crmons Mr..
Moody has preached in Brooklyn, one
finds the burden of his themes often m
bodied in one of those magical notes
There is scarcely a page in the New Tes-
lament where a dozen such notations
could not be counted; while, in some in
stances, every space in the margin is
filled, and hardly a sentence has escaped
the e~yancclist's penn. y. Tribune.

Mr.. EDITOR: In every city, town and
hamlet in the land may be found some feeble
person unable to perform hard labor; some
man or woman that delights in visiting the
sick and ministering to their wants, some
local preacher not fully occupied, or some
u~noccupied person who would like to add a
little to their present income-and want
some such person in every place where |
have no agent to sell a Medicinal Extract
made by the Shakers, which has proved of
such signal service in the cure of those long
standing diseases that prevail in all parts Of
our country, and which have heretofore re-
sisted all kinds of medical treatment. Your
columns for October contained a very ~f1atter-
ing notice of the Shaker Extract of Roots, I'M
der the head of "Ihe Strange Disease" to
which l would like to call the attention of
your readers. Please induce some such per-
son as l have described to accept this agency.
There can be no risk on the part of the
agent, as 10 capital is required where they
can furnish evidence of their honesty. Let
your readers send for a circular and learn
full particulars about the agency. Yours re-

this ship. They accepted and were sur
prised to find themselves supplied with
their own kind of food, the Chinese be-
lieving it was part of their religion to eat
| such things, and the Mandarin and Ad-
miral waited upon them with their own

words of English as they knew; for in

would say bale, shipee, walkee, hat,

profoundly, or the Admiral, twisting
himself and touching his forehead in
token of deepest respect, would present a

| boat. sail, rope, eatee, " until the Americans
could hardly keep from laughing out
right. Capt. Swain alone remained per-
fectly composed, and answered with a few
- ching-changs," and his companions
never for a moment dreamed but that he
understood Chinese. After dinner the

manner in which she was built, and eN-
pressed the greatest wonder rs 10 no"
they got the enormous mast into herwhlch

reefed by folding up like the leaves OF a
book. One of them called out: Here,
Swain, just ask them how they got this
mast into place and fastened it in the bot
tom of the ship" Without any hesitation
Capt. Swain wcntup to them and pointing
to the mast began: "Tien, shang, WOW,
engtsin, tong, chow, wong" and looking
at the mast they answered: Goat, cup,
tar, hi, hi, sir, cottingn and, being SEEM
ingly at the end of their English, chang
| chang-chonged with great vehemence;
and then Swain turned to his companions
and said: "'They found a big tree growing
near the shore, and they built he ship
round it, and when they got ready to
launch they sawed it off underneath the
bottom, and pushed her into the sea on
