WHATDO THE CHILDREN DRINK?

Don't give them tea or coffee. Have you tried
the new food drink called Grain-O? 1t is de-
licious and nourishiug and takes the place
of coffee. The more Grain-O you give the
children the more health you distribute
through their systems. Grain-o is made of
pure grains, and when properly prepared
costs about l-half as much. All grocers sell
it. l5c and 25c.

the sparkling eyes lose their 1ustre,
the roses and lilies fade from the

gracefulness of figure give way to re-

of the sufferer but the CHASTITY contrast

has founded means by which women

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

A strong colony is always proof
against robbers.
The honeycomb presents the greatest
possible strength and space with tho
least possible material.
Fruit growing and beekeeping are
combined to good advantage. In fact
every fruit grower should keep bees.
When bees starve the queen is ths
last one to succumb. They will give u /
their last drop to save the mother bee
Better keep bees in box hives than not
to keep them at all. They fertilize ths
blooms and help many crops in this
way.
Black bees have many good traits
They build up strong in the spring and
cannot be excelled in the production o!
white comb honey.
1t is essential that the hives should
stand firm so that they will not shake
with every wind, causing the bees Ia
fear that the combs will break loose.
1t is well to remember that a bee
cannot climb glass, tin or earthenware,
but it can climb wood, so that wool
vessels should be used in feeding them
Hives should stand level one way
and be higher at the back than in III,
front, making it easier for the bees ID
drag out any substance from the hives.
The hive that is set fiat Will build its
combs crosswise of the hive, while tina (
rightly inclined will build it's combs
straight on the frames.-St. Louis Re
public.

Observations made at the Lowell
observatory of Mars confirm the opin-
ion that seasonal changes occur on
that planet similar to those with which
we are familiar. as the sprouting,
growth and decay of vegetation. As
the canals are only visible at certain
periods, Ii is concluded that fringes
of vegetation spring up along the banks
when the water comes and so help
define them to the human eye. An ex-
traordinarv phenomenon noticed this
year is the doubling of the canals. A
canal which had been a single thin
dark line is replaced in day or so by
two that for a thousand miles or more
run exactly parallel, though separated
by distance of from 100 to $50 miles.

This takes the strain off the hounds.
Let the pole rest on this and the log is
loaded. In loading a large, heavy log,
pry it up and place a thick block under
it. Then fasten the chain as before, in
scrt the pole, bear down on the pry
pole, have the block placed across the
hounds and the log is again loaded. In
getting up supply of wood for the win
ter, in this way one can haul the smaller
wood and the log at the same time to
the wood pile, where the log can be cut
up for back logs for the fireplace and
saves handling the back logs twice and
much heavy lifting and saves the wagon
bed. BY this simple method one man
and stout boy can load any reasonable
size log without any heavy lifting

French physicist, in August, exhibited
before the Royal society of London
some specimens of colored photographs,
produced by the direct action of lu-
minous rays. They were obtained by a
single exposure. The color is due 10 a
physical texture produced in the photo
graphic film by the light. and not to
any deposited pigment. The chemical
action OF light upon the agents is the
same as in ordinary photography; the
different effects are due TO a physical
result brought about by having a
metallic mirror in contact with the
Photographic film during the exposure
of the plate. The result consists OF
colorless, brownish-black deposits of
reduced silver spread in series of their
strata through the film and parallel
to the surface of the plate.

Burning of the Martha Washington to
Obtain the Insurance.
A steamer called the Martha Wash
ingtOn left the Cincinnati docks late IN
the night of January :. 1852. She was
heavily freighted with a cargo con-
signed to New Orleans and the markets
of Texas and California. In her cabin
were so passengers. When seven days
out, on the coolest night Anown to river
men, she burned TO the waters edge
off Island Sixty-five, in the Mississippi
river. Despite the loss of Is lives, to-
gether with the cargo. the catastrophe
excited no more comment at the time
than many like disasters. Tin time,
however, the captain and others were
charged with burning the boat to Sc
cure insurance. In famous trial they
were acquitted; but belief in their guile
remained general)
