HIVES MADE AT HOME.

the Most Satisfactory.
The kind and size of hive is a most
bewildering question for beginners
The hive to meet the demands of bee
keepers in general is the one with the
least fixtures. The Quimby frame, or
one of about that size, has won the ia
yor of the apiarist in this locality. The
hive we prefer is made of seven-eighth
inch pine planed on both sides, 20 inch
square outside measure, and IL inches
in depth, with hand holes in the sides.
The upper and lower stories are alike
The front board is "a inch narrower,
thus leaving an entrance "a by 20inches.
A Stat "a by "a by 90 inches is used to
control the size of the entrance. The
bottom board has cleat l by 1 inch
on each end, to prevent curling around
on the under side. If two boards are
used they should be matched.
The rabbet on which the frames hang
is furnished with improved tin. The
alighting board has a cleat u by *
inch on each end and is 6 by 20 inches.
piece of inch hoop iron inches long
is bent almost on square; one is nailed
at each end of the alighting board on
has three-cornered hole to be hung on
two screws, one at each end, at the
proper height to bring the top of the
alighting board even with the lower
side of the entrance. The bottom board
as well as the upper and lower stories
are held in place by the Van Deusen
hive clamp; they may be used without.
The furniture for this hive consists of a
division board 11A by 1873 inches, with
top bar h by " by 10 inches scant

with cleat Ha by "a inch on each end to

oAuDY HANOKERCHIeFs.
All the Colors of the Rainbow to De
Seen Next Season.

All the COlOrs Oh the KatnbOw to lie
Seen Next Season.
Hankerchiefs next season will be
goudier than ever before. They will be
of all the colors of the rainbow, in sol
ids. stripes, plaids, polka dots and fig
,res. Even white ones will not be
plain, for, when not heavily embroi-
dered they will be lace trimmed, not
with one edge of lace as heretofore, but
with several lace frills placed one above
the other and on both sides of the hand
kerchief, for the fashionable article has
neither right nor wrong side.
Many samples shown have centers of
solid colors-colors, not tints-with
borders in contrasting colors, plaids,
checks, polka dots and pronounced
floral designs. Other handkerchiefs
appear to be thin bits of colored muslin
over which small flowers or leaves are
strewn. To careless observer they
seem nothing more or less than hem
stitched squares of printed lawn. Close
inspection shows a linen of the dain-
test quality, with regular and gem
orally highly artistic design, stamped
as distinctly on one side as the other
Black, navy blue, scarlet and brown
handkerchiefs embroidered in white,
black or contrasting colors are to be

Travelling handkerchiefs should never
be lace-trimmed.
One of the newest and daintiest hand
kerchiefs to be seen is of sheer white
or light colored linen muslin, with a
triple border of finely-plaited footing.
The footing, of course, is always white.
There is no hemstitching, the first row
being whipped on rolled edge, while
the second row is put on, one row on
either side of the handkerchief, just
above. This handkerchief, though so
simple that it could be easily made at
home. is especially dainty looking, and
adapted to go with the most elegant
toilet Frills of lace are put on in n
similar manner, sometimes rs many as
six rows being used to the side. OF
course one great trouble with these
dainty bits of lace-trimmed muslin will
be the difficulty of having them washed,
but the dealers say this objection is
overcome by the narrowness of the lace
After washing, they need only to be
rubbed over with the iron, and when
taken out for use the lace is pulled out
between the fingers, making the hand
kerchief much fresher in appearance
than it would be were the lace pulled
out on leaving the wash.-N. Y. Sun.

AGRICULTURAL HINTS
THE CAMPHOR TREE.
II Can lie Planted Successfully In
Some Southern states.

Camphor trees may be grown either
from seed or from cuttings. They are
usually grown from seed, as the trees
fruit abundantly, and seedlings can be
grown more easily than cuttings. The
seeds are collected at maturity in Oc-
tober and November, and after drying
are packed in sharp white sand or some
similar material to keep them fresh un-
til the time of planting in spring.
About the last of March they are sown
in drills in the seed bed.
The soil of the seed bed should be a
good sandy loan mixed with ABOUT one
third leaf mold. The seed bed should
be kept moist, but not too wet, and
should be shaded from the direct rays
OF the sun if the weather is warm.
The best soil temperature for germinat-
ing camphor seeds is from 20
TO rs degrees Fahrenheit. The tenn
perature of the atmosphere may be ten
degrees higher. The seedlings will

Key. DR.. Jenkins, pastorsof the. church,
acted as presiding officer of the meeting,
first introducing Rev. E. P Wilson OF
Woodfords Congregational church, to offer
the prayer and then presenting Comman-
der Tucker
Dr. r.Jenkins said that among the endless
varieties of thought at the present time,
there was one generally agreed upon by
all sects, and that was that. there was
nothing SO wise and good for man to do
as to subject himselfsto the rulership of
the Lord Jesus Christ.
When great organization rises up in
this world to enthrone Jesus Christ as
ruler and Lord, no ,one can but admire
and praise it.
DR.. Jenkins then introduced Comman-
der Booth Tucker. The latter, after ad-
dressing the audience, said that.before
proceeding he would introduce Brigadier
Miss Alice Lewis. who would sing Sal
walton Army hymn. Miss Lewis, he said,
had been educated for the operatic stage,
and whenEhe first met her she seemed a
very unlikely subject for Christian

There come times In ones life when il

TO see what is necessary to make life more
of success. 1t is frequently found that
some:physical disability stands in the
way and robs us of the exercise of our
powers. This is particularly true of the
brain, whose delicate mechanism is easily
affected by certain habits of food or
drink. Coffee for instance is peculiar
narcotic drug, and directly affects heart

manner, as any skilled physician will at
test.

there are 2450. In the previous twelve
months 10000 converts kneeled at the
penitents' bench. This year the record
will show more than 10000. The army's
social institutions for relieving the poor
have increased in twelve months from
10 to 20, and the accommodations from
800 to 5000. This means that every night
5000 outcasts are sheltered in the various
institutions.
The statistics apply to this country
alone. In the whole world there are
$500 stations with 12, 600 officers, and they
reach several millions of people every
week, while million copies of Salvation
Army literature are circulated weekly.
In the whole world the army has Alb in
stltutions, under charge OF l4OO officers.
and in these institutions 10, 600 people are
sheltered nightly. There are 70 homes for
fallen women, through which each year
4ooo women pass, 80 per cent OF whom
are redeemed. In the homes for ex-con-
vlcts 1900 were sheltered last year, and
~ or 20 per cent were reformed.

explain that Mrs. Tucker was unable to

dress, taking his text from the goth chap

against the contented, selfish and easy

says tnat everyone seems anxious to COM

conquer. Seltishness, pride and world
lness must be surrendered to consecra-
tlon. Commander Tucker recalled his
struggles when the angel of conservation

dollars an acre, the result would be that
tax consumers would become tax pro-
ducers.
The plan which the Salvation Army
has for carrying out this policy is simple.
We have in the cities institutions for
classifying the poor. separating the inno-
cent poor from the depraved poor. This
is the first step in getting the poor people
to work out their regeneration In Lon
don the establishments are nearly paying
their own bills without calling on the
charitable public.
But the problem is too vast to be dealt
with In the cities. After the poor have
been classified and put upon their feet,
the city does not give employment for
them. So they are looking for large
tracts Of land in the west, where the SOIL
is fertile and the climate delightful. 10
these lands the poor Of the city may be
brought, to begin life again. The only,
difficulty is to get the necessary capital.
and the commander thinks this can be
obtained. Donations are not asked. IL
is expected that the Investment will pay.
The work has begun in California ana
a colony of 300 persons from San Fran
cisco has been settled. The land is divld-
ed into fye-acre lots with a cottage on
each, and the tenant is required to pay
in instalments SO regulated that in nve
or ten years it may all be paid for. for
$50, COO it is though that 800 people can De
be settled, and that in tiveor six years the
$50, ,000.will be paid back and ready 10
do the work of settling another 500.
This was question which concerned
all. Even in Portland there must be
many poor people who have to be cared
for Every city has its poor.
1t was not proposed to scatter the black
sheep of the cities over the country. The
people who need help are honest, but un'
fortunate. Ultimately the black sheep
also will have to be rescued and whit
ened.
