Black lace over white lace is very del
icate and beautiful in effect, especially
in the evening, with diamond ornaments.
Bluets, hawthorn sprays, pink and
white morning glories and black heart
ed meadow daisies of brilliant yellow are
fastened on low hats of open work nea-
politan braid.
Graceful little matador jackets for
young ladies are exhibited made Of la
dies cloth and also Of velvet in one plain
color-deep blue, olive green, petunia
golden brown ard black.
Besides the plain, severe, straight
brimmed sailor hat, matrons this season
wear the shape that in some millinery
parlors is called the Tyrolean, and in
others the Princess of Wales hat.
Some of the newest lace dresses are
made with little train, and very young
ladies wear black lace dresses made in
empire fashion over foundation of pale
yellow surah or rose pink batiste.
Colored linen dresses are most fash
ionably worn. Holland jackets and
skirts are extremely popular. but look
rather fiat, especially when, as is usual,
they are trimmed with black satin.
Stylish and pretty tailor made direc-
toire vests in linen duck, pique, plain and
figured. and very fine silk and wool mix
lures in dotted, sprigged and shot effects
in blue or black grounds, are often seen.
There are few fabrics that supersede
mohair and alpaca in their dust resisting
and admirable wearing qualities. These
goods are now dyed in great many Of
the new shades and look particularly
effective in rose color shot with gray
and reseda shading into pale golden rus

Woe unto them that are mighty to
drink wine and men of strength to omingle
strong drink; while they are drunken as
drunkards they shall be devoured as
stubble fully dry. Benhadad was drink
ing himself drunk in the pavilions, he
and the kings with him. and the king Of
Israel sent out and slew the Syrians;
Elah was in Tirzah drinking himself
drunk in the house Of ARA. and Zimri
went in and smote him and killed him,
and Nabal held feast like the feast OF a
king, and Nabal's heart was merry within
him, for he was very drunk, and it came
to pass that about 10 days after the
Lord smote him he died. Belshazzar
made great feast to thousand
of his lords and drank wine before
the thousand, and while he tasted the
wine he commanded to bring the golden
vessels that were taken from the house
Of God. That same hour came the fin
gers Of mans hand and wrote, Thou
art weighed in the balances and are
found wanting. In that night was Bel
shazzar, the king Of the Chaldeans, slain.
Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow?
Who hath contentious? Who hath bab-
blings? Who hath wounds without cause?
He that loveth wine shall not be rich,
nor drunkards inherit the kingdom of
heaven. Take heed to yourselves lest
at any time your hearts be overcharged
with drunkenness and that day come up
on you unawares. Be not drunk with
wine, but be filled with the spirit-the
fruit of the spirit Is temperance.

ner and seldom takes more He does
not see why he should not do likewise.
1t Is the hardest thing to convince an in
termitteut drunkarl. who IS able to alb
stain for period, that he can never by
any chance become moderate drinker.
Nevertheless the principle Of his drink

a NON-SWARMING DEVICE.
The Langdon System of Controlling the
Natural Swarming of Bees.

AN"t"'" NV "f VI tSFNs
All beekcepcrs understand the advan-
tages in being nble to suppress at will
and without detriment to the colony the
desire of bees to swarm. Most of the
tystems of preventing or limiting natu-
raj swarming have depended upon the
formation of limited number of artif-
cial swarms, frequent destruction of
queen cells by the beekeeper. close use
of the honey extractor, the combining Of
after swarms. changing places for hives,
replacing of all queens annually. supply
ing empty space for comb building be-
low the BROOD nest or between the brood
nest and flight hole. or there has been
some combination Of these methods.
In the last bulletin from the division
of entomology, United States depart
ment Of agriculture. space is given TO a
detailed account Of the Langlon non
swarmer, depicted in the cnt, aud for
which are claimed the merits of effective
ness and simplicity. At the beginning
of the season the nouswarming device
ID. shown in the cut, is placed at the en-
frances OF two contiguous hives, each Of
which contains queen and full colony
Of bees. The passages on the IN

The Effect Of Tobacco on Nations.

A writer in one of the quarterlies, in
summing up the effects of tobacco upon
the moral and intellectual character of
nations, says:
1t is said to make the Frenchman
more gay and the Spaniard more grave.
1t has confirmed the German in his spec
ulative PHILOSOPHERS and has made fatal
ism the firm belief Of the Moslem. The
Turks. who, before the discovery Of to-
bacco were the terror of Christendom,
have since sunk into the ''sick man" of
the nations. The Hollanders, whose an
cestors swept the seas with the broom Of
their commerce, now contentedly smoke
their pipes and live upon the remem-
brance Of their former greatness. Its
effects upon the American nation may
be seen in the increased activity Of the
mental powers at the expense of the phys
ical frame. The mind becomes moro
brilliant, but less deep; our activity
greater, but our endurance less.

Mrs. Clement Scott's Repartee

Mr.. SCOTS impressions of our country
have been highly favorable, and 1t is
presumed that, having become so closely
acquainted with US, both he and his
charming wife will revisit US often. Fa-
vored with keen sense ofthe humorous,
they have fully enjoyed the American
character in its various and varying
phases. Not all their experiences, how
ever, have been agreeable. For example,
at a somewhat mixed dinner party in
Chicago the other day they met man
and his wife representing great deal Of
money and quite as much vulgar pre-
tense. The woman wore large amount
of jewelry, there being among other
pieces superb design in diamonds. OF
this particular ornament the wearer ap-
peared to be specially proud, and calling
attention to it she said to Mr.. and Mrs.
Scott, Il bought these diamonds in a
London shop, where they had been
pawned by some of your royalty"
This coarse if not insulting remark
did not ruffle Mr.. Scott at all, but Mrs.
Scott found it quite out of the question
to forbear answering in her subtle, femi-
nine way, "Yes, our best people some
times sell, but they never buy in pawn
shops,"-

will not say that the punishment Of
children can be dispensed with in every in
stance, writes Edward W. Box in the La
dses Home Journal No possible rule can
apply to all cases, since every instance
must be law unto itself. At the same
time striking child should be employed
only as the very last resort, whereas now
1t Is used In all too many cases as first.
Kindness and tirmness, when brought
together, form the best basis for child's
education. Mothers should learn to con-
troll hasty actions; fathers must allow
reason to have fuller play. The process may
seem little more tedious, but the result
when reached will be worth it ALL
instantaneous correction may seem to
be achieved by punishment, but the effect
Is not lasting. Girls are shamed by it;
boys grow resentful under it. We need
only TO apply the lessons that come to US
in after life to this question to reach the
best solution.
Kindness draws US all closer; firmness
of character cements lifelong friendships
sympathy wins US all. And as these ele-
ments appeal to US as we have matured, SO
do they appeal to the more responsive
nature of child. A boy should never
find weakness in him to whom he looks
for strength. A girl should never find
anger where she has right to find mercy
And as for our little msdoings in child
hood, we sought mercy and pardon, let
not our children come TO us, and because
we are parents lind US other than we our
selves sought and hoped to find
As we wished should be done unto Us at
one time in our lives SO let Us now do un-
to Others, that they in their turn, may like
wise do unto those who follow us.

toned, still they are but three of the many
women right in the State of Maine who

branches for which they are best suited.
and therefore in which they can be the

As the young girl looks at these women,
she should feel encouraged to make the

lesser side of life. There Is a work for

earnest we shall succeed 10 some extent.
