Our Canadian neighbors are a good
bill which they say threatens Canadian
interests, and are evidently bent on re-
taIiation. Not only do they intend to
make their new tariff law discriminate
against us, but they are Matching some
alien labor acts that are designed to get
square with us. This from the Montre-
al Star shows about how they feel:
We have apparently tired Of the policy
of forever turning the other cheek. Two
members of the House of Common have
alien labor bills before that body-one of
them is Liberal and 5he other is Con-
seryative-one comes from the West and
the other from the East-and no one arts
es In the House to oppose the principle of
either. The Premier, whom no one will
acouse of rooted prejudice against the
United States. declares in unmistakable
language that the persistent aggression
of the Americans leaves him no ohoics
in the matter. Little as he likes this

The Dress of the Future.

According to Mrs. Annie Jenness Mil
Ter the house dress of the future will
not in the least resemble the long
skirted affair of today. The skirt of
this rational gown will come half wav
betWeen the knee and the ankle, and
the waist and the skirt will be in one
piece. This simple affair may be worn
while the mother of the family is loung-
ing IN her room or attending to her
little necessary duties about the house.
1t should DE supplemented, however. by
a little Elton jacket, rather more elabo-
rately made, which may be slipped on
in the emergency caused by the I'M
seasonable caller. This is supposed to
represent utility in dress. The adj
vantage of the shortness and the sim
plicity of this gown is, according to
Mrs. Miller, that the woman who wears
it may be able to $50 upstairs natu-
rally three steps at a time if she wants
to and get all the benefit she can ont
of that exercise. Coming up and going
down stairs is the best exercise in the
world. And yet you will find learned
doctors who will warn women against
going up and down stairs. They do
1t justly, too, because the learned doe
tor knows that the woman who has

~unhappiness. Answer: The situation
is SO imperfectly defined that it is
difficult to give an explicit answer.
However, judging from the facts stat
ed, it would seem that the young wo-
man is somewhat given to morbid fam
cies. and does not exactly understand
what she means or feels. If she is
frank enough to tell the young man
that his presence distresses her. he
might be quite as frank and tell her
that other young women do not feel
in that way, and therefore he will seek
his society elsewhere.

Feeding Bees.

1t must be understood that sufficient
feed is of prime Importance, said a
speaker at a Minnesota institute. Where
hives contain less than 20 pounds of
sealed stores they should be fed by CIV
ing them sealed combs of honey, If we
nave such; if not, a syrup made by mix
ing ~ pounds of water with 20 pounds
OF graduated sugar and heating 1t to
tne boiling point makes a first-class
winter food. At the present price Of
sugar, this syrup will cost not more
than cents per pound, and - pounds,
costing so cents, will when added to
Tue small store already in the hive
winter a strong colony, when placed in
d cellar and kept at a temperature of
from 40 to As degrees. Surely no hui
name man will let these Industrious
ana profitable insects perish for want
OF this small outlay. There are many
ways of giving this feed, the cheapest
oelng by tipping the hive an inch or so
back and pouring the feed in at the en-
trance, a quart or so at a time. But
the bottom of the hive must be sealed
tight or the syrup will leak out and
cause robbing, which is one of the great
dangers in feeding. But whatever
method is employed in giving the feed
1t should always be given just at night.
SO that the bees may nave it all taken
up by morning. A far better way for
1an feeding is by a. suitable feeder to
set on top of the hive, and give the
feed all at n time, which saves much
work and avoids robbing. With five or
six such feeders many colonies may be
fed in a short time. A shallow milk
pan filled with syrup or honey, with o
piece of cheesecloth or other light cloth
laid loosely over the top, to prevent the
bees from drowning, makes a good
feeder. The pan must be placed on top
OF the hive, with an empty hive body
or other box placed over it to keep OBJ
bers out, and a small opening made in
the hive top below to enable the bees
to reach the feed.
