good to look at her? It is. Her bonnet

back of the crown is a bunch of velvet

are made of one single square of ben
galine bordered with the fringed out
silk, and it is twisted, pinned and turned
until it takes the shape you see.
The lovely girl below does not look

A couple Of days ago was at a big

over that was blouse of oriental lace
tied around the waist with grosgrain
ribbon of the same shade. The sleeves
only came to the elbow and were pulled
over the silk. There was a Russian
jacket Of black velvet edged with gold

ferable. The whole gown was much
admired.

Bee Cellars.

During the cold midwinter months
the bees are almost in a alternating con-
dition, and they need very little atten-
ton, but at the same time little work
at the right time may prevent disaster.
Nearly every beginner with bees loses
his colony or part or it during the first
cold winter. The question for ventila-
ton for the bee cellars is one that has
puzzled apiarists considerably, and the
work of giving the right amount of air
in the winter is not easily performed
now. It is question of experience more
than anything else which decides when
and how much air to give bees.
When they are quiet the bees are semi
dormant, and it is surprising how well
they keep on small quantities of air. All
alternating animals appear to live in
this state with but the smallest amount
of air. The bees likewise keep without
suffocating when nearly all Of the air
chambers are closed. They seem to need
warmth and quiet more than air.
The old fashioned way of ventilating
the bee cellars by means Of the "sub-
earth" ventilator has fallen into disuse
generally Ventilating tubes had to be
watched carefully, and be opened or shut
with every change in the temperature of
the outside air. IF the air was too cool
it was supposed that the bees would be
frozen, end warm air had to be forced
into the cellars. But finally these venti-
lator tubes were less and less, and it was
discovered that the bees were comforta-
BILE when they were closed all of the
time.
If the bees can be kept quiet they need
very little air. The injection of outside
air will then make them restless and do
more harm than good. There is little
danger of their suffocating. Let them
alone, and do not be worrying about
their need of ventilation. When they
need this they will become restless, and
then it is that the proper amount of ali
will be needed. When they are full of
honey, restless and excited, they need
considerable air, and it should be given
to them in their cellars. Special ven
tilation is not needed unless a warm
spell comes in the middle Of winter and
rouses them from their sleep. Then, and
early in the spring, they need great
amount of air, but during the cold,
auiescent sleep in the cellars it is much
better to leave them alone, and not worry
about giving them fresher and purer air.

Sleeping Her Life Away.

The German village of Grambke is
greatly excited over case of persistent
somnolency in the person Of the daugh-
ter of one of the town officials. The girl,
pretty, slender child of some thirteen
years of age, has been in a continual
sleep since the second week in May, and
even now does not show the least trace
of arousing from her protracted slum-
ber During the first week Of her en-
forced sleep the family seemed grieved
to the verge of distraction and all was
mourning in the house where the child
lay in the embrace of "death's twin
brother"
After awhile, however, when it was
noticed that she would swallow liquid
nourishment, their fears for her safety
seemed to abate to certain degree, and
now, after lapse of more than half a
year, the family go about their daily
labors as if the little maid were really
dead and half forgotten. Highest medi-
cal authorities have been consulted, but
all efforts to keep her awake have re-
suited in total failures.-St. Louis Re-
public.

MT Beardsley raised the various garden pro- ducts in their season, and his boys found many willing customers. While Mir Beardsley's success at gardening may not be phenomenal, he always calculates to have an early garden and by diligent cultivation, the results are always the

OUR HARVEST HOME FESTIVAL

l OUR HARN EST AL.
 When, three Sundays ago, in the Sab bath school, it was proposed to give a l Harvest Home festival, some thought it,
 with our small school, and comparatively l small church attendance, big under taking. However. it was decided, all all present agreeing to do their best, that we would undertake ir, on Thursday and
 Friday evening of the first week in No-
 vember. Consequently here we are, at
 the old familiar parsonage, where former l 1y many a ''goodlie companie" has as- sembled, and where we hope many an-
 other will in the future To you our friends and patrons, we now address our
 selves, knowing that on your goodwill
 and generosity, depends, in great meas
 ure, the financial success of the enter
 tainment. Of the former we are thor oughly assured. Of the latter we have
 had many and substantial people in the
 past, so we trust to you to uphold and sustain the reputation for liberality and
 open heartedness which the people of
 Weston, and particularly those of the
 old parish of Norfield have hitherto en-
 ioyed. You see around you the results of our labors, and of our very best beg ging efforts. If our fancy table with it's many fancy articles strikes your fancy, the lady in charge will be happy to ex- change any of them for whatever change you may wish to invest. If it takes a more practical turn you can gratify it by the purchase of any Of the useful, if not strictly ornamental articles, kindly con- tributed by our farmers and merchants. We know that the ready sale of all such will be highly gratifying to the donors, as we'll as beneficial to us. At our lunch table you can spay your money and take your choice' of the many sorts of cake and connections, which the ladies of the society have provided for the refresh ment of the ssinIier man. It is expected that this table will be specially patron
