"A Society to Introduce the Industry ON
entifiu Principlea

n society to Introduce the Industry on scI-
entific Principles. j,
A new industrial departure OF great
interest has been taken in Servia, where
society Tor bee and fruit culture has
been established. This society socks
to introduce system of bee keeping on
scientific principles, and of develoning
the industry on a portable basis
throughout that country, where until
lately the peasants have been In the
habit Of keeping the bees in conical
straw Hkeps daubed with plaster or
mud. and detroying the bees to obtain
the honey. 1t ia probable that the
society will provide the peasants with
cheap straw skeps for supers, as well
as bar-framed hives and other desirable
agricultural appliances, says the st.
Louis Globe Democrat. The farm Of
| the society contains about 200 hives,
placed in regular rows over tho ground
6 feet 6 inches from each other, facing
north. These hivea are all the bar
frame principle, and of the pattern
generally known as the Dzierzon hives,
and they contain about 80 pounds OF
honey In the comb when full. They
are made of wood. with straw sides,
and cost about 49, 25 each. The bees
appear 10 be a species Of the common
Dee ldplS nheIincdl3 buI are Tatner
small in size and unusually tractable.
The Italian bee (apis ligustica), does
not succeed we'll in Servia, becoming
quickly merged into the indigenous
stock. The bee farm is provided with
two centrifugal honey extractors Of
very simple design, but perfectly prao-
tical. After extraction, the honey is
put into glass bottles, with neat screw
tops, imported from Austria, contain.
ing respectively half pound, one pound
and two pounds. The price OF the
honey is about II cents pound, OK
elusive of the bottle, for which an
extra charge is made. The wax is
sold to the wax dealers for making into
church candles, and realizes about 80
cents pound. The importance Of en-
couraging bee culture Ia evidently
realized by the members Of the society
and others interested, and the intro
duction of a law is in contemplation
obliging all priests, schoomaste sters and
certain others holding employment
under the government to turn their
attention TO the keeping Of bees.

BADGES OF MArRIMosY.
All Sorts of Tortures Undergone by Savage
Women with Husbands.

Badges of matrimony were worn by
all other nations, but tabooed by
American women. The Germans wear
little cap or hood, of which they are
very proud, and "donning the cap" as a
feature of the wedding day among the
peasants Of certain localities. Tho
Russians are ALWAYS seen. even in the
hottest weather, with thick cloth of
dark hue twisted about their heads.
In New Guinea the young woman let's
her hair hang about her shoulders, but
when she is married this is cut short.
Chinese matrons braid their hair like
helmet In Wadal tine wives color
their lips by tatooing them with the
thorrs Of the acacia then rubbing
with iron filings. In parts of Africa
the married women perforate the outer
edges Of their ears and lips and stick
rows of grass stalks in them, and
among certain Mongolian tribe, the
Manthes, the women wear suspended
from the ear a little basket full of cot.
ton, 10 which spindle is attached.
The universal American wears what
she likes, regardless whether it be ma
tronly or not, and the daughters will
select articles suitable only to married
women.

Great Work in Progress Among Children
Who Live Near Front and Market Streets.
The Mission School at Front and

direction of West Presbyterian Church,

Sunday afternoon in its room in the
Hudson building. When the school
was begun two years ago % scholars
were enrolled: since then the member
ship has grown to 100, IL officers and
teachers and 50 scholars The scholars
include the children of the Polish
Jews. Germans, Italians and other

ties for missionary efforts. Many of
the children do not understand tho
English language
A sewing class is connected with the
mission. The class is in charge Of
Mrs. J. r. Hudson, assisted by other

UNWHOLESOME MEAT.
Jabcz Banks Gets In Trouble by Handling
"Monkey" Veal.

"MOnRey' veal.
Jahez Banks. u Madison street butch.
or, found himself in great deal of
trouble on Monday, when he was ar
raigned in the municipal court on the
charge Of exposing for sale monkey'
veal, which Ia against city ordinance.
William T. Lyman, who represented
Banks, pleaded guilty and asked for
the mercy of the court.
The records showed that on a former
occasion Banks was arrested on aimi-
lar charge and pleaded guilty, but he
was allowed to go on paying the costs.
Meat Inspector Abele also stated that
recently he found monkey" veal in
Banks possession and destroyed it
by pouring coal oil on II. Banks was
required TO pay fine Of $40 and the
costs OF the prosecution.
John Biermann was accused of receiv.
ing monkey" veal from Banks on
January 18th, at his place Of business,
near Eighth and Madison streets. In
spector Abole testified to seeing the
meat taken from Banks wagon and
hoisted up to the second story Of Bier
mans slaughter house. Mr.. Adele said
that when he saw what the meat was
he poured coal oil on ii and destroyed
1t The meat was in bags and was not
exposed to view.
Biermann denied the charge, as did
also his brother, who was working at
the slaughter house at the time. They
stated that they did not know what the
bags contained until their attention
was directed by Inspector Adele, who
was making an examination. John
Hermann said he never allowed
monkey" veal to come into his place
and when he learned what tho meat
was he ordered Banks to take it away.
In view of the explanation OF the
Biermanns the case was dismissed.
Meat Inspector Abele has demon
strated that he is keeping vigilance
over suspected butchers. He has had
occasion frequently TO destroy meat and
now there are but few butchers in the
city who attempt to violate the law.

THE EXCEPTIONAL WOMAN.
Is IL Best for Nun or Another Woman to
Communal Her2


Life is not yet conducted only in
letter-press or on tho boards. The ex-
ceptional woman-exceptional whether
by beauty or brains-is beginning to
realize that though she may he orna-
mental she is certainly lonesome; and
her mind misgives her at times whether
this exceptional attitude is not almost
symptom Of failure? She asks herself
whether one of the most tangible forms
of success is not TO get on with people,
here and now? And the greater success,
as she also begins TO observe, in to get
ON with women. To get on with men
is much less distinguished, for the
odds are all in her favor. On this very
account l have heard persons argue
that man should be placed in com
mand of women, and a woman in com
mand of men; but as, in practice,
these situations are usually reversed,
the man being governed by one of the
women and the woman by one of the
men. the plan scarcely commends itself
to my reason.

The muller, though it has it's uses,
is more remarkable for its abuses.
Women swathe their throats az the be.
ginning of September and keep them
swathed until May in various sorts Of
slken things and wonder why they are
"predisposed" to cold. The truth il
that the constant use of the muller
makes the throat tender.
The muffler is intended not for ordi.
narily cold days, but for occasions
when extra protection for the throat and
chest is absolutely necessary. When
one has substituted light. weight
