We are receiving letters from women far

of little worth, or the finished work is re-

are placed in the way, (the object being
simply to get rid of herr. The parties adj

Suggestive Hints Regarding the Cost and
Profits of Agriculture.
A great many ''big stories" have ap-
peared in print about the profits in bee
keeping. and some books have evidently
been printed for the sole purpose of
booming the market-the market for
bees and the market for hives and .'sup-
plies" In the first place consider your
adaptability to the business. If you can
not stand still and be stung without
flinching it is possible that you will not
succeed. At first, at least. wear a vail
and gloves. even if the old bee-keeper
laughs, and tells how he hives bees by
scooping them up with his bare hands.
Decide upon the frame to be used, and
then get box to fit the frame. 1t ought
not to cost more than a dollar, and may
be found for less. There is no disgrace
in beginning Bookkeeping with soap
box for hive, but 1t must be sufficient
to keep out the rain. If ven are to be-
gin with one colony. all you need is two
hives. frames, vail, gloves and a
smoker. The last named you will dis
card by and by, but it gives confidence
to beginners
A colony of bees, the best Italians,
with choice queen, on ten frames in a
good hive. good enough. need not cost
more than ten dollars. and may be
bought for less. The price includes all,
bees, queen. hive and frames If you
pay more, you have money TO throw
away. Buy as near home as possible, to
save express and save bees.
The colony will send but one swarm
ut least. if in good condition That
gives 100 per cent. increase in bees.
The two colonies viii produce honey
worth at least $3.50; probably much
more, but suppose it is only $3.50. The
profit, then, not counting labor, would
be p per cent. If YOU make up your
mind to be satisfied with that. you will
not be disappointed. E. Farmer.

Broken Melodies.

Foreign Life at Washington.

1t is a curious thing that the
capitol of the UnitedsStates should
be more like foreign city than
any other town in this country. 1t
is a great place for people who
have lived in Europe for a good
many years, to set up their house
holds. 1t Is kind Of brake which
gently lets them down from the
intoxication of European life to
the dead level of an FAmerican
commercial city, This class Of
returned tourists make up much
Of the winter population of Wash
ington--and being as a rule both
rich and idle, they add much to its
charm. Nowhere ON this CONT
nent is there 50 much leisure as
here. Everything like work be-
gins at o'clock and ends at 4.
Then, unlike other great cities,
the workers do not have to traverse
the whole length and breadth Of
the town to get to their homes.
The public workshops are oil cen-
trail it is not far from any mans
work to his home. The shorter
hours of work which prevail in
foreign cities are a continual mar
vel to the American. The idea of
a man of business making his first
appearance at his office at 10
o'clock in the morning, then tax
ing n big slice off at noon just
the most valuable part of the
working day and then quitting
about the time the American gets
warmed up in his work, is certain
ly very surprising. But it becomes
still more SO when he comes here
and finds that after 4 O'Clock all |
the town is Mt leisure. 1t is true
that the higher officials have long
er working hours and the Cabinet
officers are driven to death if they
mind their business, but the aver
ag worker does his eight hours
work and then leaves off, with two
hours of daylight before him even
IN winter.
Then for that fraction of the
world known as society" the
hours are fixed and invariable,
and this, too, conduces to the econ
emy Of time. One is i'll no danger
of having whole day, from noon
to twilight, monopolized by II string
Of inconsequential visitors. No
body visits before 2, and nobody |
versed in Washington society be-
fore 3, and at G. it is all over. All
official houses and nearly all pri-
vate ones have a day for receiving,
so that each individual has six
days in which to labor and do all
that he or she has to do, 1t is no
wonder that this easy well-orderad
life charm people to Washington,
and getting them there keeps
them.
