general warmth of the hive, necessary
to the development of the brood.
Toe liquid secreted in flowers is
usually quite thin, containing, when
just gathered by the bee, large per-
centage of water. The bee sucks or
laps it up from such flowers as it can
reach with it's flexible tongue. This
nectar is taken into tho honey sac, To-
Gated in the abdomen, for transrorta-
ton to the hive. 1t is possible that
part of the water is eliminated by the
gatherer before it reaches the hive.
However this may be, evaporation
takes place rapidly in the heat of the
hive after the nectar or thin honey
has been stored, as it is temporarily,
in open cells. Besides being thin, the
nectar has at first raw, rank taste,
generally the favor and door peculiar
to the plant from which it was
gathered, and this is frequently far
from agreeable. To make from this
raw product the delicious and health
ful table luxury of cured honey is one
of the special functions of the worker
bee. The first step is the stationine
of workers in liues near the hive
entrances. These, by necessarily

uaE MODEL LINEN CLOSET.

Every housewife knows the comforl
of having cupboard set aside for the
sole use OF the house linen. 1t should
be her pride to see that everything
contained in this cupboard is neatly
arranged on the shelves, and wheRe, of
any moment, she will be sble to lay
her hands on any separate article. 70
attain this she must herself arrange
the linen on the shelves, and must not
allow any one else, who is likely to
disarrange it, to 60 to the cupboard.
Let me, then, show you which is the
best method OF arranging the linen
cupboard. will take an imaginary
cupboard, which has four shelves. On
the first shelf should be placed all the
bed linen, sheets, pillow cases, ETC. J
in different piles. On the second shelf
all the bed furniture, curtains, etc.;
ON the third shelf all the taiolo liner,
together with any toiletmats, doylies,
9etc.; and lastly, on the fourth shelf,
ls.ss''' kiteliep'
linen and the various odaAle ats VA tclf
are q necessary adjunct to make up a
complete set of house linen. Like oil
cupboards, the linen chest requires
frequent overhauhng, for the tiresome
serviettes, tea cloths, etc., will wear
out and want replenishing.. In most
cases it is q wise plan to replace each
article as it wears, and in this way You
will always have the full set of linen
and will not suddenly find that you
have not sufficient table napkins to so

Select corn that is full in the milk
but not hard. With o sharp knife scors
the kernels by cutting through thd
center of every row, then cut from the
cob and with the back Of the knife
scrape all the milk off the cob. Put
about teacupful into quart jar and
pound it down with small wooden
maui, made like q potato masher; keep
adding corn and pounding it down up-
I'll the jar is filled to within half an
inch of the top. There must be no air
spaces between the kernels and the
milk must fill every space. Put the
rubber on and the cover about half
way, set the jar into kettle of cold
water, having placed piece of board
between bottom of jar and kettle; LET
it boil three hours, then screw. the
cover on as tightly as possible then
boil one hour longer. AS soon as the
jar is cold, wrap in brown paper and
put on it's side in the coolest part of
the cellar. By using wash boiler to
boil them in, four jars may be canned

A Colony Of Yegetarians.

At Oranienburg, near Berlin, col
ony of vegetarians was started some
years ago, and is growing slowly but
steadily. Founded in 1893 by seven
enthusiasts on the subject, there are
at present forty-scven homesteads,
where thiriy.seven families and ten
single men have built houses and raise
their cabbage. Outside of the vege-
tables necessary for their own food
they have planted $4,000 fruit trees
and 5000 berry .bushes, and have
fenced in the entire property with o
hedge of hazel nuts. From a financial
standpoint they are doing very we'll,
because they realize excellent prices
for the products of their truck farms,
the quality OF the vegetable raised by
them being the best to be obtained

them, as we'll as 10 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
l.aagss.s lsEgs wing and the third 5s SRs 81
the large wings, aud with it portion
of one OF the secondary or small er
wings. The loyalty of colony to
their queen is proverbial, and it is
principally by operating upon this in
stinct that bee culturists manage the
work of colony.
Each colony of bees in good coudi-
tion at the opening of season con-
tains a laying queen and some 10000
to 40, 900 worker bees, or six to eight
quarts by measurement. Besides this
there should be four to six combs
fairly stocked with developing b-ood,
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-.hlgh in the
air, when IRON five to nine days old.
If the eggs ore fertilized they develop
into workers or queens, according to
the character of food given and the
size and shape of the cells; il unfer-
tilted, into drones. The queens life
! may extend over period of four OF
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 the hive from
invasion. To do all this, they are
furnished with highly specialized or
gans. The drones seem to have nc
other Office except that connected with
reproduction and contributing to the

but, on the contrary, results in better
seed and fruit crop.
Recent investigations by the De-
partment OF Agriculture show that
certain varieties of pears are nearly or
cutie sterile until bees bring pollen
from other distant varieties for their
cross fertilization.
These busy little producers OF "the
nectar of the gods" are truly wonder
full creatures, and their methods of life
and activity offer fascinating study
in the country. Many OF their habits
and instincts ore strikinsly suggestive
of human nature.
Thus the swarming OF an increasing
colony closely resembles strike OF
workipgmen or operatives in mill.
The outward Indications Immediately
preceding the phenomenon are par
tial cessation OF field work on the part
of colonies that have hitherto been
industriously gathering honey, and
the loiterins OF these workers in squads
and clusters at the entrance OF the
hive. Apparently many are awaiting
the signal to strike or migrate, while
some seem not yet to have caught the
spiris of unrest, but remain at thell

loud buzzing in the hive of the con-

their ill.gotten gains. 1t is always to
the interest of the bee owner to stop
this denoralizing business, and the
quicker the better.
An interesting chapter on robber
bees, as we'll as great quantity OF
other quaint and curious facts about
bees, is contained in timely bulletin
just issued by the division OF ento.
mology, United States Department OF
Agriculture. The Importance OF the
bee industry in the United States to.
day is not generally realized. for de-
spite it has developed chiefly within
the last forty years, its present magni'
tude is surprisingly enormous. 1t is
shown that the present annual value OF
bee products in this country is not far
from $2O,OO0,0Os. The honey and
wax alone produced in 1890 and sold
at Wholesale rates netted $7,0oO,OOo.
1t is calculated that 300, 600 persons
in the United States are engaged in
the culture of bees. In 1889 nearly
GA, 100000 pounds of honey were Pro
duced hy them, as compared with H.,
600, 900 pound in 1869. There are
now running in this country fifteen
steam factories, besides large num-
ber of smaller establishments, for the
manufacture of bee hives and apiariar
implements. 1t is estimated by the
experts of the Department of Agricul'
ture tLat the present existing fora o.
the United States could undoubtedly
support ten times the number OF col
onies that it now maintains. Thr

Stout, short women, on the other

That there Is time and place for oil

The new ruffs are of the highest and
stifest type. Oftenest the ruff5 are Of

the gown with which ruff is worn
must be 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
pretty face. The oorsage 1s 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 d sort of frame.

tune the low coiffure has to be aban.

TO aLRNIsH COLD DISHES.

Plain every day dishes at the home
table may be made more appetizing if
the young housekeeper will instruct
her maid of all work to pay little
more attention to them, or if she will
devote a few moments before each
meal to seeing that the dish is prsttily
garnished.
Cold roast lamb is good; but who
wants to have it placed before him in
q whole leg or shoulder, without u
sprig of green, on hot day? a SIM
pie and effective way to serve cold
lamb is: Select large loin and have
your butcher cut each chop up to the
joint; crack the joints, but do not
separate them, and remove the meat
an inch from the end of each chop
bone. Now draw the two ends of the
loin together and tie, spreading the
small ends SO they form circle, and
roast as you would any piece OF meat,
only remembering that the chops be-
ing separated, the meat will cook more
quickly.
. This lamb may be served hot or cold,
but, if it is cold, ornament the end of
each chop bone with a fringed and
curled paper cap, stick bouquet of
mint or parsley in the top, and upon
the platter between each pair of chops
put a spoonful of cold boiled string
beans or peas, and on the green beda
small red ball cut from boiled beets.
Serve a French dressing in separate
dish for the vegetables.
This is but one of many ways. Ifths
housekeeper shows interest in having
the home dishes prettily garuished the
maid soon will be and will find she,
too, has brain and can surprise you
with some ingenious device.-Ameri-
can Cultiyator.
