30, I'm only a little nervous.

L uluu use 10 DC.
"What can l do to overcome it?'
Just what woman means by being a
little nervous she can't exactly say. She
tells you she is restless; that she can no
longer sew or read; conversation no
longer interests, or it even troubles her;
noise startles her and she cries for no
cause.
Such are the first small beginnings of
nervous weakness. The world is full of
loving, patient wives and mothers who
have been called upon to suffer intense
emotional strain; have undertaken to
nurse those dear to them through pro-
tracted illness, or have worked beyond
their physical powers.
During the many years of hard and
wonderful work, Prof. Edward E.
Phelps, Dartmouth's great professor, had
these weak, rundown" women in
mind. The study of such cases of nerv-
Gus prostration, neuralgia, rheumatism,
dyspepsia and debility led him to that
most marvellous discovery of the cen
fury, Paine's celery compound. Prof.
Phelps became convinced that the trou-
BILE in all these cases of weakness lay in
a disturbance of nutrition.

Prof. f. A. Leighton is instructor and

years and is we'll known throughout the
State. His wife, writing to Wells, Rich

compound, says:
Cast year / had rheumatism so Sc
verely that could only get around by
the aid of crutches. Nothing that l
used did me any good and l despaired
of regaining my health. A friend rec
commended Paine's celery compound to
me, and 1 used it regularly for two
months. AS a result was able to visit
the Worlds Fair, staying there for quite
a while and walking all day without any
difficulty.
'The compound also did my sister a
great deal of good while attending col

There is nothing know of in the world
that is its equal for building up the

"Prince Besolow, the African prince,
who is member of the class '97 in Will
liams College, has received call from
his people in Africa to return to his ma
tive land and take possession of the
kingdom which heretofore has been I'M
der the power of his uncle. 1t was not
the intention of the young prince to re-
turn so soon, as he was informed that
his uncle would make desperate fight
to hold the kingdom and keep him away
from his just rights. Now word comes
that even his uncle desires his return, as
he sees his people are bound to haye it,
and that he himself cannot continue
much longer in power, The message
came through Prince Massaquoi of Vel,
Liberia, who was sent to the United
States by his people as representative
to the Worlds Fair Congress. He then
came East on other business, and here
received official instructions. Massaquoi
will arrive i'll town in few days and the
two young princes will make arrange
ments for their departure in August or
September. Prince Massaquoi has also
been in this country trying to obtain an
education, having attended the Tennes-
see College in Nashville. He is chief of
Jabacca in a Velan province on the
western coast of Africa, and is very
scholarly young man." In this connec-
ton we wish to state that Prince Beso-
low will lecture in East Arlington prob
ably in July, the exact date not being
decided upon, but it will be announced
soon. He goes to Africa intending to
elevate his people, found schools, build
mission stations and place the govern
ment on good basis. He will speak
more particularly of himself, his expert
ences and intentions in his coming lee
ture, and will also recite in his (Vei)
language. After the lecture the "Ques-
ton box" will be open to everybody.

One way to Bury Cabbage.

Take an empty barrel-a salt or sug.
ar barrel will do very we'll; dig hole
sufficiently large and deep SO that few
inches OF the barrel will project above
the ground when it is put in position.
Now bank the soil around the barrel 50
that it will be on level with the TOD
of the barrel and sloping in ali direo-
tions from it. Then cut the stalks of
the cabbage off close to the heads and
put cabbage into the barrel SO that the
stalk part of the cabbage will be upper
most Thus continue until the barrel is
full. Then cover with a lid which will
turn water, made of inch lumber.
Cabbage buried in this manner in the
fall will keep till quite late in the
spring, and besides this it can be got at
any time, in the winter without any
trouble, according to a correspondent Of
The Agricultural Epitomist, who has
buried cabbage in quite number Of
different ways. The object in having
the eInbankment slope away from the
barrel is to prevent surface water from
getting into it.

Causes of Failure Requisites to SuccssA
Wintering on Summer Stands.
There are so many cases of failure
that the problem of successful winter
ing of bees cannot be too thoroughly
studied. The main causes of such fail.
ures are: A population too weak tt
maintain sufficient degree of heat il
the hive; a quantity of food inadequate
to the needs of the colony during the
winter months; food Of SO poor quail,
ity that bees living on it cannot remain
in good health; hive which cannot
sufficiently protect bees against the colo

sequestration of bees, too long pro.
tracted to allow them to get rid of their
feces before they become sick with di
arrhea. To overcome these difficulties
beekeepers have tried several ways Of
wintering bees-on their summer stands.
IN rooms above ground, in silos, in eel.
lars. Charles Dadant, whose successful
operations in the apiary entitle his
opinions to consideration, says in
communication to Prairie Farmer:
The first requisite to succeed in win
tering bees on their summer stands is q
large population. A part of it ought t.
be young bees. A large population
maintains easily the heat inside the
hive, and the bees can easily pass from
an emptied comb to another containing
honey. A colony containing quantity
Of young bees succeeds better In its win
tering than another with old bees only.
because the young bees, who have gone
out Of their hives but few times, are
more careful and do not rush out ia,
from the hive, as do the older bees.
Honey is the only food necessary in
winter for bees on their summer stands,
but it is to be noticed that the food is
used not only to sustain life, but to pro.
duce the indispensable warmth, for ii
has been often ascertained that a large
population has consumed less in winter
than smaller one, whose bees were
compelled to eat more to keep warm. 1t

money per colony are not too much to

the needs OF their bees during the whole
winter.
q When but few colonies OF an apiary
are short of honey, the most simple
means is to take from those which have
some to spare what the others need.
Such an operation is easy with movable
frame hives. But-when no colony has
any honey to spare, and this happens
often to beekeepers who use small hives,
the best food to give is sugar strip, fed
to the bees in October. This strip,
made with quart of boiling water and
4 pounds of granulated sugar, to which
a pound of. honey or more is added to

cred with piece of cotton cloth and

The bees suck the strip through the
cloth. The Hill bee feeder, mae on
the same principle, but entirely Of tin,
is also used and saves much labor. A
strong colony can put in the comb in
single night the contents Of three or
four OF these cans But the insufficient
quantity Of food is not the only want to
be supplied. Its bad quality should also
be feared, for honey dew, or dark honey
from fall flowers, contains too much in
digestible matter.
When the cluster Of bees is unable to
produce the indispensable warmth DUR
ing the cold days of winter, they die
sometimes partially and often wholly.
To prevent such accidents some bee
keepers use chaff hives, or hives with
double walls, the interior of which is
filled with chaff or with sawdnst. Some
other beekeepers, for winter, lodge ev-
cry one of their hives in large box
furnished with a passage for bees. We

THE HAWK KNEW HIM.
The Recovery of a Trained Bird that De.
serted Vessel at Sea.

II don't know that the ancient sport of
falcony has ever been in vogue in this
country said Capt. L. E. Metcalf of Mon
treal. 1T is rather odd, considering how
fond many Americans are of copying every
thing that is done on the other side of the
water.
When ! was in England several years
ago obtained possession of a peregrine
hawk. which brought with me on my re-
turn home. During the voyage across the
Atlantic it was my custom to allow the bird
the use Of it's wings ever day, taking care
to give it a hearty meal beforehand, that it
might not be tempted to dart off after some
passing seagull and lose sight of the ship.
In spite OF the precaution the bird was
missing one day. Night came on and still,
the hawk did not appear, and made up my
mind that would never see my pet again.
Soon after my arrival home, in glancing
over Halifax paper, I noticed paragraph
stating that the captain Of a fishing schoon-
er who resided at that point had brought a.
fine hawk into port, which he said had sud-
denly come aboard is vessel during its late
voyage. at once jumped 10 the conclusion
that it must be my falcon, and lost no
time in setting out for Halifax to investi-
gate. On finding the Captain who had the
bird. learned that he had no intention.
of giving up his prize, saying that it was
easy for any one to claim property, but it
was another thing 10 prove the ownership
of it.
My object was to recover the hawk rath-
er than pick quarrel with the pugnacious
sailor.so curbed my anger and proposed to
settle the question by experiment. To this
the Captain at last consented. The test
was this: was to be admitted to an inter-
view with the bird in the presence of Wit
nesses. Since in the possession of the Cap-
tian, the hawk had stood on its dignity and
repealed any attempt at familiarity; If now
it should show any signs Of recognition to-
ward me and attachment. especially if it
should play with the buttons on my coat,
the Captain was to give up his claim
TIE bird was accordingly brought in.
In an instant he dashed at my shoulder,
showing every sign of recognition and de-
light. She rubbed her head against nv
cheek, and playfuliy champed the buttons
on my coat with her beak The witnesses
rendered verdict in my favor, and, to do
him Justice, the Captain willingly gave up
his claim, and bore my pet home in tri-
umph."-(St. Louis Globe Democrat.

sportsmen May Now Paddle After Their
Game in a Pneumatic Boat,

Sportsmen whose tastes induce them to
seek duck and other water fowl as a quarry
should feel particularly happy this season,
says the New York Sun. They are being
catered to in way which promises to rem
der their amusement as comfortable as
watching kaleidoscope fight. The innova-
tion which is to work this transformation
among aquatic mBrksmen lisa pneumatic
boat which can be carried around as q
small parcel when not In use. When duly
inflated and ready for service the new
sporting craft presents the appearance of
circular soup tureen on feet. The marks
man gets inside, and having adjusted his
feet in the rubber boots attached to the
boat he has only to paddle away and enjoy
himself. The outfit is completed by a
storm cape, which protects the sportsman
from the cain down and practically incloses
him in waterproof suit. The effect is not
very impressive from an artistic point of
view. but as an antidote to rheumatism and
other ills which victinize hunters of water
fowl it has practical appearance which
looks enc ouraging. Having shut in every
thing but his head and gun. the sportsman
may still further impose on the watchful
game by filling the 1oups around the boat
with whatever he deems best adapted to
screen him from the eyes of his future vic
tins. Foliage from the bank, artificial
flowers, old newspapers, or, in fact, any
thing which is not transparent, will suffice
to complete his bower. The outfit, exclu-
sive OF the trimmings referred to weighs
only twenty pounds. The boat is made in
four compartments and is of rubber duck
cloth. The boots, which take the place of
yachts center-board, are provided with
fins, by the expert use of which duck
shooter may attain fair speed in his voyages.
