Gladness Comes

With better understanding Of the
w transient nature of the many phys-
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef-
forts-gentle efforts efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due TO any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton OF the system, which the pheasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debiliteting the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bcne-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

MOLASSES AS A FERTILIZER.

The Louisiana sugar planters have
not yet been able to solve the riddle of
the bestowal of their surplus molasses.
1t is now proposed to use it as fertili-
ger 1t is found that molasses can be
charred by waste heat in sugar manu-
facture, and much reduced in weight,
and free from liability to offensive or
troublesome fermentation, be easily
added to the soil as are commercial
fertilizers. b Lt4
When in this state it is devoid of
sickness, easy to handle and contains
a large part of the mineral fertilizers
taken by the cane from the soil, as
well, as the lime used in clarifying. A
temperature of $50 degrees Fahrenheit
is sufficient to destroy the objectional
gumminess, to expel nearly all the
water and to so char the molasses that
it is fit to return to the soil. 1t is sug-
gested that the sugar manufacturers
can easily place a large pipe in the
waste heat of their furnaces, for the
charming of the molasses, filter press
cakes, etc.
The mass would be removed by
chain scraper passing slowly through
the pipe, and charred and dry and pull
verified, it would be ready for instant
and effective use as fertilizer.

NEW AMBULANCE PATROL -

The ambulance cure for the liquor
habit is the latest 1t is an idea of the
Salvation Army and is to be put into
practice in New York, says the Herald,
as soon as the details can be arranged
The details are ambulances, white
horses and pretty Salvation lasses. On
Nov. 20 an important meeting of the
Army's chief officers is to be held.
Then ways and means will be discus
sed. But already the ambulance cure
is formulating in the minds of its orig
inators.
The abmbulances are to patrol by
night those portions of the city which
yield the largest crop of street
'drunks." They are to be painted red
and white. One girl is to drive and
two others are to keep a sharp lookout
for drunken men and women. If a
man is seen sleeping in a doorway or
lacking helplessly up the walk or other
wise betraying his inability to take
care of himself, he is to be seized, put
aboard the ambulance and taken to a
Salvation Army shelter to sober up

THE GLARS AS MUSICIANS.


For the last so years the Cars were
all, more or less, addicted to reading,
but their main amusement, with the
exception of Alexander H., was music.
1t has often been said (says a writer
in the illustrated London News) that
if Nicholas II. had not been born on
the steps of a throne, he could have
made a considerable fortune by his
voice. Allowing for certain amount
of exaggeration, there is no doubt
that the young Car has very beau
tiful voice, and that he is a good mu-.
stefan. Not so good musician,
though, as his great grandfather, who
often used to sit down at the piano by
the side of Rubenstein and whistle"
throughout a whole opera without
making a single mistake. Alexander
III. was less enthusiastic. He was ever
kind to musicians of worth, provided
they did not expect him to listen to
them. He preferred a game of whist,
but at the end of it he invariably re-
paired to the grand drawing-room to
compliment them. The Empress, on
the contrary, seemed never tired of lis
tening. Alexander I'LL, unless I am
mistaken had a particular affection for
the trombone, or similarly worry
ing instrument With all due respect
to his memory, he was not a good per-
former, but his love of music was
unquestionable. 49,

knowledge unto knowledge, to learn
truth and wisdom from all that is best
in literature and life, for is not the
task she now has before her one more
needful of careful preparation than the
mere work OF perfecting herself in
some study that she might win new
laurels for herself? Now she is not
working for herself, but for those who
will come after her, who will be men
and women when perhaps she has
ceased to be. Is it not far more neces-
sary that she, therefore. learn the best
she can in order that she may be bet
ter fitted to add her quota in the work
of preparing them for noble, earnest
manhood and womanhood?
Aside from the fact that a thorough
kindergarten training enables a girl
to bear some responsibility in life if
she will, and enables her to find some
thing more than mere existence in
this world she will find, when her days
of kindergarten training are over, that
it has quickened and developed her
mental powers of observation, atten-
ton and accuracy; that it has Guilt
waited her moral faculties of persever-
ance, industry, neatness, and self-reli-
ance; that, moreover, it satisfies the
longing most women have for active
mental and physical occupation, and,
she will ever be content to sing into
obscurity without at least trying to
carry her theories into her daily life.

When these cables carried a heavy

ANTIQUE RuFFs To BE FASHIONABLE.
Dinner gowns this fall are made with
ruffs. eincarnetions of Queen Eliza
beth appear at every social function
in New York, and the ghosts of six
teenth century fashions have become
re.em5odied IN the ultra. modern draw
ing.rooms of New York's fashionable
women. Undoubtedly the stately ruff
will do much in the way of imparting
distinction to the costumes it accom-
panies, but fashion that cannot be
becoming to more than one woman
out of ten should not be too hilariously
welcomed. a
1t is the woman with the long neck,
the well.set head, the erect aud stately
bearing, who should select the ruff as
her most appropriate adornment and
encourage her dressmaker in making
it as high and bristling as she will. 1t
will serve to emphasize the good points
OF her form and make her face seem
only the more comely.
Stout, short women, on the other
hand, would better ignore the fact
that such q fashion is coming in, and
on dressy occasions leave their short
necks, as far as possible, uncovered.
That there Is time and place for all
things is never more emphatically
true that in considering matter of
modes. To know instinctively the
right time and the right place is, in
the world OF fashion, the summit of
wisdom.
The new ruffs are of the highest aud
stiffest type. Oftenest the ruffs are of
white muslin. stifily starched and care
fully adjusted. AS everybody knows,
the gown with which q ruff is worn
must he high necked in the back.
Thus the ruff stands very close to the
back of the head and the ears. and is
so stiff and straight that it makes an
effective and becoming background to
a pretty face. The corsage Is always
cut square in front, and the ruff comes
down for little ut each side OF the
square cut neck, leaving the white
throat and the jewels which bedeck it
in q sort of frame.
Naturally with this manner of cos.
tune the low coiffure has to be aban.
doned, for, however many coils might
be placed at the back of the neck, the
ruff would conceal them. So the hair
is smoothly brushed up at the back,
and puffed and frizzed and rolled into
as lowering piece OF architecture AZ
the material will permit.
The forehead is left uncovered too,
after the manner of good Queen Bsss
herself, and the hair drawn away from
the face at front aud sides over differ
ent sized rolls and rats or whatever
these feminine devices may have been
called in the course OF sixteenth GEN.

large wing. and the third season an
additional clip is taken from one of
the large wings, and with it a portion
of one of the secondary or smaller
wings. The loyalty of colony to
their queen is proverbial, and il is
principally by operating upon this in
stinct that bee culturists manage the
work of colony.
Each colony of bees in good condi-
tion at the opening OF season con-
tains q laying queen and some 30, 900
to 10000 worker bees, or six to eight
quarts by measurement. Besides this
there should be four to six combs
fairly stocked with developing brood,
with good supply of honey about
them. Several hundred drones may
also be present.
Under normal conditions the queen
lays all the eggs that are deposited in
the hive, being able to deposit as
many as 1000 eggs in twenty -four
hours. Ordinarily she mates but
once. flying out from the hive to meet
the drone-the male bee-high in the
air, when from five to nine DAYS old.
If the eggs are fertilized they develop
into workers or queens, according to
the character Of food given and the
size and shape of the cells; il unfer-
tilized, into drones. The queens life
may extend over period of four or
five years.
Upon the workers, which are unde.
veloped females. devolves all the labor
of gathering honey, pollen and glue,
bringing water, secreting wax, build
ing combs, draughting designs, stop
ping up crevices in the hive, nursing
the brood AMI defending tho hive from
invasion. To do all this. they are
furnished with highly specialized or

The immediate conditions that incite
colony to swarm are an abundant
secretion OF honey and general pros.
perity of the colony, with combs
crowded with bees and breed. As the
bees before swarming usually fill their
little ''knapsacks" with honey and are
quite peaceable, there is seldom much
difficulty IN hiving them again by the
use of q little smoke. II the cluster
should be on small limb that can
readily be cut off, 1t can be laid down
in front of a new hive. The bees will
then go trooping in conte ntedly, but
IL they do not move fast enough lit
tie gentle urging of the rear guard
with feather will hasten them.
To prevent swarms from absconding
and to facilitate the work of hiving
them, as we'll as TO keep track more
easily of the age of queens. many bee
culturists prefer to clip the wings of
the queens as soon as mated. The first
season one OF the large or primary
wings is clipped half way; at the
opening of the second season the other
