A Sympathetic Conductor.

1t was a little incident, but the
Pittsburg Dispatch thinks that it illus
trates the generous spirit of Western
people. A lady, in boarding Northern
Pacific train near Tacoma, Wash, was
robbed of her pocketbook by some rough
looking men who jostled her in the door
way of the car. She was bound for
Michigan, and the thieves hadn't left her
even cent. Her ticket was drawn out
with her purse, but it fell to the floor,
and some one picked it up and gave it to
the conductor. That individual had a
tog-horn voice, piercing eye, and
altogether his general appearance was
uninviting and betokened little sympa-
thy, so the passengers thought, but they
were mistaken.
AS soon as he found the distressed lady
off went his cap, and, chipping in half
dollar himself. he announced to the pas
sengers that the lady had been robbed,
and be asked for contributions. Every
one responded, and when he, came back
and emptied the contents into her lap
there wasn't more pleased man in the
car than the big, grnif conductor as he
listened to the jingle Of the silver and
the woman well, she had recovered a
good portion Of her loss.

with her throat. At times she would
spring high in the air and her comb

connecting It with the head, and upon
investigation we found that the poor
creature had swallowed tack to which
was fastened string looped at the end,
and the loop had caught around her
tongue. and as the tack and string di-
gested it frightened the loop about the
root of the tongue until that member
was drawn into the throat. (The tack
and string had been used in fastening up
the ornamental vines, and we're care
lessly left among them.) We noticed
what we threw in the hen-yard there
after.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
A Pretty Apron.

Materials: Two widths linen lawn,
cut the desired length, and nicely scanned
together. Press the seam fatty and have
it as narrow as possible, so it will not in
terfere with your tucks; tuck the apron
lengthwise, in narrow tucks, being care
full to have the seam come under tuck,
with space between them to correspond
with width of tuck. Mine is as narrow
tuck as the machine will allow. Tuck
to within about five inches of bottom of
apron, leaving it to form ruffie, that
hangs below as nicely as if gathered in
place. Lace or embroidery added to
ruff1e completes the outline. At the top,
lay each tuck up to the edge of the next
tuck, to give fullness, and put plain
band over them. If the tucks are as
narrow as mine, there will be enough of
the material to tear strings off the sides.
These are tucked across the ends.
Another pretty apron is made of one
width of same material, turned up six
inches at bottom and hemstitched.
Three rows Of narrow ribbon (any de-
sired COLOR are run in and out through
buttonholes cut lengthwise in the hem,
and worked very neatly. The button
holes are SO cut that the ones in the top
row are opposite those in the bottom
row. Top finished with ribbon sbirred
in hem, and tied at side with bow.

Rhode Island clam-Bake.

A level piece of ground is chosen, well
sheltered from the wind, and a platform
of stones is laid, about twelve by six feet
in size, or, better still, hole of like
dimensions is dug and stones are laid on
the bottom; about two feet of well-dried
wood is piled on the stones, lighted, and
allowed to burn until reduced to small
Goals (this takes about an hour the Goals
and ashes are then swept off, and the
stones covered with one or two feet OF
hard or soft clans: on top of the clans
are placed similar layers of corn in the
inner husk, well washed, sweet and white
potatoes, crabs or Holsters, chickens and
fish dressed and wrapped in clean cloths,
oysters in the shell, which have been
literally dashed with water, and some
times last layer of boiled tripe. On
the top of the whole asail cloth or canvas
cover is laid, and over that foot of sea
weed or eel-grass is spread, and the mass
of savory edibles is allowed to steam fol
an hour. The ciam-bake is then ready
for serving; aud the eater who failed to
be content with the feast would certainly
be unreasonable. During the late sum
mer and early autumn these feasts are
held along the shores of New England
and Long Island, the favorite resort beins
Rocky Point, on Narragansett Bay, who's
denizens claim to follow the primitive
Indian fashion of clam-bakiEg.-

Enjoyment at Home.

Don't shut up your house, lest the sun
should fade your carpets; and your
hearts, lest merry laugh should shake
down some of the musty old cobwebs
there. If you want to ruin your sons,
let them think that all mirth and social
enjoyment must be left on the threshold
without when they come home at night.
When once home is regarded as only a
place to eat, drink and sleep in, the work
is begun that ends in reckless degrada-
tion. Young people must have fun and
relaxation somewhere; if they don't have
1t at their own hearthstone it will be
sought at other and perhaps at less pro-
fitable places. Therefore, let the fire
burn brightly at night, and make the
homestead delightful with all those little
arts that parents so perfectly under
stand.
Don't repress the buoyant spirit of
your children; half an hour of merri-
ment around the lamp and freight of a
home blots out many acare and annoy
ance during the day, and the best safe
guard they can take with them into the
world is the unseen influence of bright
little domestic circle. Put home first and
foremost, for there will come time
when the home circle will be broken;
when You will s'long for the touch of a
vanished hand, and the sound Of voice
that is still" and when your greatest
pleasure will be In remembering that you
did all in your power to put song under
every burden to make each other happy.

THE APLARY.
Bees working in Sections.


When the bees take notion not to
work in sections, and crowd the queen
by placing too much honey in the brood
combs, it is difficult matter to get them
to go into sections. and work. There
have been various methods proposed and
adopted during the last few years to in
duce the bees to work in sections. But
the prevailing idea is to reverse the
combs in the hive, so that the honey
which is in the top of the frames may be
put in the bottom. This will induce the
bees to uncap these and carry the honey
up in the empty sections. This may
work sometimes, but it certainly does not
always fulfill the desired end.
But their is one plan that very seldom,
If ever, fails, and it is one that can be
easily adopted where trouble is expe-
rienced in getting the bees to work in
sections. This is to get some drone
brood and fit it into one or two of the
sections, the best place being right in
the center of the section cases. If honey
is coming In from the fields, and the bees
are busy gathering it, they will soon be-
gin to build up on either side of this
brood. In time the brood will hatch,
and the bees will then store the comb
with honey. This honey will not be of
the best quality, but must be sold as
second best, or it can be extracted, and
the comb thrown into the wax extractor.
This is the last and surest resort for the
bee-keeper when the bees are obstinate,
aud it seldom fails. :.
There is another easy and simple way
which will generally answer the purpose.
Go to some'colony where the bees are
working in sections nicely, and place
boxes of sections, bees and all, on top of
them, and in short time comb-building
will begin. The work will also extend
to all other sections. The bees will in a
short time unseal and carry to the Sec
tions the honey below, and put in its
place plenty of eggs and larvR. The
bees may thus be coaxed into sections
more easily than driven. When forced
to do anything like this they sometimes
act obstinate, and it is next to impossible
to get them to work. Some try to COM
pei the bees to carry unsealed honey
from the brood chamber into the sec
tions, but invariably this method falls

An exchange talks good horse sense as
follows: Finely-bred, intelligent horses
are often nervous They are quick to
notice, quick to take alarm, quick to do
what seems to them, in moments of sud-
den terror, necessary to escape from
possible harm, from something they do
not understand. That is what makes
them shy, bolt and run away. We can
not tell what awful suggestions strange
things offer to their minds. 1t may be
that sheet of white paper in the road
way seems to the nervous horse yawn-
ing chasm; the open front of baby car
riage, the jaws Of dragon ready to de-
YOUR him, and man on bicycle some
terrifying sort Of flying devil without
wings. Directly, however, he becomes
familiar with these objects, and he is en-
tirely Indifferent to them. Therefore,
when your horse SHES at anything,
make him acquainted with 1t, let him
smell it, touch it with his sensitive up
per lip, and look closely at it. He may
not learn all in one lesson, but continue
the lesson and you will cure your horse

selection of Seed.

The principle of breeding is to be OBJ
served in the selection of seed for cereal
crops as well as In the stock yards. The
law of heredity exists and operates
wherever there is reproduction. The
wise farmer will therefore exercise care
in the selection and preservation of seed
for the next years crop. And this is
the season for making observations ore
paratory to an intelligent selection.
Those who raise winter wheat should
carefully note the time of maturing and
select the earliest varieties. 1t is worth
q good deal to have wheat ready for har-
vest in June, especially in this latitude.
The White Fultz and Golden Cross are
recommended as early and excellent
varieties, and to obtain the best results
the ground should be prepared and
sown within the last ten days of August
never later than September l, If it can
be avoided. In selecting seed wheat a
good plan is to go into the field and reap
with sickle or cradle the grain from
the earliest :ripened spots, before the
general harvest is begun. The farmer
who will practice this method few
years will be agreeably surprised at the
result. The same holds good as to Sc
lection of all kinds of seed. Always save
and plant the best.
