spacious apartment, which is supposed not
only to show at a glance that its occupant
is man, but to give some evidence of the
trend of his tastes. If he is artistic the
fact is expected to declare itself in the fine
virility of the choice of proof etchings he
has made-water colors are held In more
favor by women. If he is musical his fiddle
and banjo, piano and flute proclaim it.
Oftener than either, however, one sees an
arrangement like this:

two pairs of boxing gloves On long

some old line engravings of hunting scenes.

A correspondent in the American Be,
Journal gives this advice to beginners:
Keep things in order in the apiary
Have your tools, empty hives, sections
crates, ETC., in their respective places
ready for use in case of need.
Never disturb bees while excited
neither before nor during thunder
storm, hot windy days, honey dearth
nor while robber bees are bent on pillage
To avoid bee stings, proceed quietly
and with care while working among
your bees, do your work with dispatch,
and have your hive closed before the
bees become aware that you have been
near.
Never work among bees without a
smoker, but use it judiciously and on
proper occasions to keep them under
subsection and prevent their anger, but
in case of accidentally upsetting a hive
the spraying of the bees with cold water
will have the effect of quieting them.
When working among them for any
length of time do not think it too much
trouble to protect your head and face
with a beeveil. Watch carefully each
hive in your apiary, notice the doings of
each colony of bees, and have full un-
derstanding Of their wants and needs,
and you will seldom have to mourn over
heavy losses and bad luck.

Secretion of Wax by Bees.

words, is not some Of the wax wastedi
was a query propounded and answered
recently in the American Bee Journal.
Professor Cook replied: II do not
think so. believe this waste of wax

need it." A. b. Mason said: "My bees
do not secrete wax unless they need it
The idea that bees have to make wax
whether they want to or not, is a hum,

Many people who have never seen n run-
ming high jump imagine that the athlete
clears the bar perfectly straight or in q
manner shown by the illustration "a
straight jump" This picture is very un-
like the other two illustrations which
correctly portray tho way great heights
are cleared. The athlete while jumping
straight will Land with his back TO the bar
after clearing IL, but the usual method in
high jumping is to turn when in the air
and land facing the obstacle. Those who
are unfamiliar with jumping express sur
prise at the usual style displayed, aud con
slider that IL is not quite fair to wriggle
and twist so much in making the jump,
Whenever dog or horse leaps an Obsta-
Gle the movement is straight ahead, for the
head is always pointed in the direction the
animal is travelling, but n man in negotiat-
ing n height pursues far different tactics,
rs can be seen by the illustrations other
than that of the straight jump.
One picture represents an athlete who
has risen to the bar and has his legs
over safely It will be noticed how far in
front of him his feet are, and whether he
will be able to geU his hips over is a ques-
ton. The other picture, "past danger"
shows the same athlete when he is COM
pletely over the bar. 1t will be seen that
his left leg IS extended preparatory to
alighting and the fact of his right side be-
ing toward the bar shows that he left the
ground with his right foot. He will land
with his face to the bar 1t must not be
Imagined that the great distance he appears
to be from the bar is a sign that he cleared
it by a corresponding distance.

It costs a relatively large sum Of money
to build n really good stable. The ideal
conditions IL carried out, involve large ex-
penditurcs. However, with an ordinary
house which has stable on the back end
OF the lot, the stable is generally very
cheap. 1t costs from $3.50 10 $500. The
sketch here given is for stable Of moder.
ate cost, and involves the use of small
sum of money, say 500 or $500.
In the ideal stable the foundation would
be of stone until it was above grade. The
walls would be of brick Of the ordinary
kind on the outside, and those on the in
side would be Of enameled brick. The
carriage floor would be Of concrete. and
stall room aud stalls Of an impervious
asphalt. The carriage room aud stall
rooms would either be detached or have An
air tight separation. It would be better to
have them detached and only connected by
covered way. Thus the carriages and
harness would not be injured by the am.
monia exhalations from the natural offal
of n stall room. There are those who will
say that wood floor is superior to one of
