teal bee keeper, and perhaps the most sci

The Beaumont Journal has the following
on the mills and lumber market: The de-
mand for lumber of all grades continues to
improve, but while the improvement is
gradual it is sufficient TO show that trade is
opening. The mills here have special orders
that will keep them steadily saving for be-
tween forty-tve and sixty days, and these
large orders are being constantly aug
mented. Dealers orders are picking up and
the demand for finish is also growing. In
formation from the interior is encouraging
for large business, and the crop reports
from Kansas are of such a nature Us to eX-
pect large demands for lumber from that
state. The demand for shingles is getting
somewhat better.
Over $500 have been subscribed to the
Center manufacturing company, Shelby

cided to sell the shares ut $40 each, SO as TO
enable them to make one machine and eX-
hibit it throughout the United States. The

NecEWe2r,

A well dressed man needs TO give etten-
ton to three details OF his dress. namely
his hat, his necktie and his shoes His
gloves also are Of much Importance, for
the general law that the extremities are
the most conspicuous parts of the body re-
quires them to be the most carefully
dressed il the impr, ssion OF elegance is to
emanate from the person. The law of the
neckgear is the other, but is none the less
imperative Every work of art, says 4 new
philosopher of clothes, demands what is
known IS a point of rest. This point of
rest is found to be the central point-the
pivot, so 10 speak-from which al the rest
of the composition derives its Significance
This point OF rest in the toilet is, lie says,
the neckwear. 1t gives significance 10 all
the rest OF the toilet.
Surely the words of man who can talk
about neckties in such wise terms US this
ought 10 he regarded. The philosopher
goes on to insist that it is poor economy
for a man who wishes to give the appear
auce of elegance in dress to wear anything
but the best quality Of neckties. These
cost money, he says, but it is the best pos
sible investment, for the necktie is the first
detail of a mau's dress thaC makes an i'm
preston on the beholGer. If it is cheap or
shabby the general impression is one OF
cheapness and shabbiness. If that is rich
in material and carefully disposed, even if
the rest of the garments be of mediocer
quality, the general impression is one Of
care and richness-San Francisco Argo-

A Sand Storm in o Desert.

gusts laden with the flying desert. We lay
down on car and tried to shield our heads

wind and sand reached around after us
with insensate fury. A sand storm was
upon us-a streaming rain of earth. There
was no escaping it. The whole atmosphere
was gray. Earth and sky and all between
were of the same color.
There was not moments cessation At

or three miles, where we Joined some

without unnecessary delay. Here the wind

sand sifted through every crevice. All day

How delighted dost thou revel in the full
flow OF natures bounteous stream, swell
ing to expected perfection! To the present
feeling of enjoyment and to the unbound
ed anticipation Of future bliss how open is
youth! How full of delight an . how beau
teous in infancy, although, like the early
blossom Of spring, it feels the chills that
its nature is heir to. We press the elastic
muscle, full and soft, of the healthful
child, and pass our fingers through the
glossy curls and fondly pinch the rosy,
dimpled cheek, and gaze in the laughing
eyes, and express with enthusiasm our adj
miration Of the promise nature gives of its
future perfection-we know not what; but
we feel and know that we love youth, even
in it's imbecility. As it approaches to and
attains maturity, how admirable, how
lovely is youth in its pristine purity!
Though man may not measure the power
of God by his own weakness, he may and
must love youth, beauty and purity; and
while such love is active in him he must
adore his infinitely good creator.-New

4 Strange Dclusion.

Years ago, away back in the early 70's.
one OF the leading families of North Daven-
port, Ia, were possessed of an only daugh-
ter, fair of form and face, whom they had
betrothed to young gentleman Of good
family living in the neighboring city Of
Dubuque (all names being withheld out Of
consideration for these good people, who
still reside in the cities named). Every
thing was arranged for a speedy marriage
of the young pair, when the happy pros
pective bride took sick and died. The
grief OF the young man was dry eyed but
terrible when he saw his loved one arrayed
for the bridal of death instead of for a
union with himself
He followed the remains to the Oakdale
cemetery, returned home in an distracted
sort of manner, only to be stricken with
nervous fever the same night Then a
peculiar hallucinatiOn took possession of
his fevered brain-he believed the lost one
to he present with him n the room His
parents gently but yainly demonstrated
with him, yet he would talk to her that
should have been his bride, describe her
dress and appearance to those attending on
him in his delirium, even though others
would sit or stand where he declared her
to be.
Finding that he was rapidly sinking
under this peculiar delusion it was decided
to array Il young lady in clothes that were
an exact counterpart of .Eose in which the
bride-elect had been buried, and which
were the same the young man declared
were worn by her when she visited him in
the spirit. While he WAS sleeping this
well meaning counterfeit took her station
in the room, anxiously awaiting the out
come. When he did awake he turned his
eyes to the spot, flung his arms aloft and
shrieked in an unearthly voice, My God,
there are two Of thenr' gasping which he
fell back and expirel.-St. Louis Republic.

Must Have Liked Them.

A story is told of a bright Bangor lad
whose mother is prominent in society
circles and was entertaining a party Of
lady friends few afternoons since He,
with boylike enthusiasm, was assisting in
serving refreshments. Toward the latter
part of the afternoon the little fellow ap-
preached his mother, who was in CONVEX
sation with the ladies. Holding plate of
cakes aloft he remarked in not at all sub
dued tone:
Say, mamma, guess they liked 'em
pretty we'll, for that's all we've got left"
A hearty laugh went the rounds, in
which the hostess joined, while the speak
er departed wondering what caused SO
much amusement.-Sanyor Commercial
