DRESS PARADE.

Great favor is shown the double warp
cashmeres that SO closely resemble drap
dete.
The wear of genuine Scotch cheviot is
almost endless, and for general utility cos
tlmes it has only one very strong rival
English serge.
There is a perfect furorc for accordion
plated ruf1es for the neck, bodice and
sleeves, and also for the entire decoration
Of evening toilets.
The hardy Scotch cheviots hold very
favored place this season among popular
dress fabrics to be used for cycling, travel
ing and walking costumes.
Belts, girdles, very wide centuries, en-
pire sashes, chatelaines, and every sort of
Elton, zouave, bolero and figaro jacket will
maintain their vogue during the summer
season.
In colored goods the broken checks with
several dyes handsomely blended seem to
predominant, and these prove more service
able than plain colors for general wear ON
any fabric but serge, which has proved it.

Upon some imported gowns for very spe-

fastened the designer only knows where.
The yoke has the effect of simply incir-
cling the hips without break or a seam
showing, but it is, of course, hooked in
visibly.
Very stylish and becoming gowns of
gray and white wool are made variously
of serge, mohair, double warp cashmere,
canvas goods, camel's hair, ladies' cloth,
basket patterned grenadine and sultana

tions, slips or Innings.
Under sheer textiles very beautifully

One must not forget, in speaking of
Russian meats and drinks, the omni-
present, universal stakan chai-the COB
let of weak tea, burning hot, and fra
grant with mingled perfume of the Chi
nese leaf and the golden lemon, which
is served everywhere and at all times
in Muscovite lands. The samovar, an
urn of brass or copper, is seen and
heard everywhere boiling; and the Rus
SLAMS have the same good sense which
the Japanese display in never allowing
the infusion to become a decoction.
Tea that has been standing for any
length of time is justly looked upon,
by even the moujik, as rank poison.
Although, therefore, milk is seldom or

Use the farm for poultry by giving
the fiocks plenty Of room, and work with
view to making the hens pay, the same
as is done for the cows, and the results
will be satisfactory. Fifty hens on one
acre could give at least clear profit
of one dollar hen, or fifty dollars to the
acre, and the cost for shelter will be less
than for larger stock. The fact that so
few know how to keep large focks for
profit is proof that farmers have all
along neglected poultry, giving the hens
on the farm but little notice, yet on the
poorest farms poultry can be made a
speciality. There are good markets for

CONVENIENT FEED TROUGH

the wall of the poultry house. 1t can
be recommended from the fact that it
occupies no floor room and being up
from the floor the fowls cannot get in
il with their feet, thus soiling and
wasting the food. A trough five inches
deep and five feet long will accommo-
date IS fowls. For large flock several
small troughs are better than one large
one. Put in the soft food and spread
it from one end to the other. AS soon
as the fowls are through eating the
trough should be swept out. Once
week it should be washed with hot
water. Many bowel diseases may be
traced to the filth eaten in the soft food.
1t is impossible for fowls to pick up
soft food from filthy surface without
swallowing the adhering filth.-Orange

HOW to Dispose of Honey.

Undoubtedly the best way to sell
honey is in pound sections or sections
weighing less than a pound, but for FAM
lily use extracted honey should be pre-
ferred, for it is just as good and the
comb can be replaced, to be filled again,
thus saving the bees from the useless
labor of making new comb. The rea-
son sections weighing less than a pound
are advised is that a section that can
be sold for an even dime will often find
a purchaser when one that must be sold
for 10 or IS cents will be passed by. A
sectics Nth eight ounces of honey in it
will sell fer len cents quicker than one
containing a fun pound will for is cents,

Waist LinIngs.

An absurdity in wash waists which
has appeared is that of organdie or linen
with tight lining. The success Of the
shirt waist depends upon the ease with
which it can be fastened on and its
comfort while on. A tight lining de-
feats these objects. Lace in vulgar
quantities also is seen upon some wash
waists intended for common use. The
tasteful woman probably will avoid Law
ishness in lace should she use it at all
on her Numbered blouses. She no doubt
win find 1t more satisfactory to keep

will prompt fowls to seek the highest
roosting place. If the roosts are level,
no injury from getting on and off will
occur and the fowls will not crowd one

The following arrangement is con-
venient one: Make a tight platform
foot and half from the floor, to catch
the droppings. Around the edge nail
a strip one by three to keep the drop
pings from scattering and which will
give step for the fowls in going on

1t might be well for the beginner to
produce extracted honey at first, in
which case an extractor would be
needed. This costs about ten dollars,
but no sections would be needed, nor
so much foundation, though there
would be needed some vessels in which
to store the honey. The one thing that
the beginner needs to avoid in produc-
ing extracted honey is extracting too
closely, taking away too much honey
and leaving the bees short of stores.
No honey should be taken from the
brood nest. A rock upon which the be-
ginner is likely to split is dividing col
onies too early, too frequently or too
late. To allow each colony to swarm
once, if it will, and prevent after-swarm-
ing, would be safe plan for the begin
ner to follow.-Colman's Rural World.

HINTS FOR BEGINNERS.
How one Can Make Sensible start


How one Can Make a Sensible Start
with Bees.
The first step is to get good text
book on bee-keeping and study It
thoroughly. Then get another one and
study that. Perhaps third could ba
profitably added to the list. If bee
keepers convention should be held near
by, attend that; if not, visit neighbor-
ing bee-keepers and talk bees with
them-perhaps this would be better
than the ordinary bee conventions,
though both are good. After this, If
it is the intention to make Bookkeeping
a special business, much time may be
saved by spending at least one season
with some professional apiarist, II this
eannot be done, the best way will be to
begin at home with few colonies, and
allow the bees and the knowledge to
keep pace one with the other.
The beginner is quite likely to make
some mistakes, and it is better to make
them with a small number of colonies.
Perhaps ten colonies would be sufficient
TO begin with. Many recommend buy
ing cheap colonies of blacks in box
hives, transferring them to movable
frames and Italianizing them; but
transferring as usually done is a very
disagreeable job, requiring some nerve,
patience and skill, and seems scarcely
the proper work at which to set novice.
In Italianizing there is also risk of
losing queens, particularly If the work
isdone by am inexperienced person. Still,
if one has plenty of determination and
little money this course may be advis-
able. 1t is much more pleasant, how
ever, for the beginner to begin with
Italians in movable comb hives.
Spring is the best time to buy bees,
and it is better to get them as near
home as possible, as express charges
are very heavy and long journeys are
likely to injure the colonies. would
advise even a beginner to buy black
bees in box hives near home and them
transfer and Italianize, rather than have
bees shipped many hundreds of miles.
The cost of beginning in Bookkeeping
might be estimated something as fol-

How to Construct Sensible ROOsts
ana a Convenient Feed Box.
There are many ways of constructing
and placing roosts. The aim should be to
make them comfortable for the fowls
and convenient for the attendant in
handling and cleaning. Place all roosts
back from the windows out of the way
of draughts. They should be low and OF
a uniform height. Bruising of feet is
frequently caused by fowls jumping
down from high perch. If arranged
one above another, as seen in Fig. !,
the fowls win jump from the lowest
perch to the next and the strongest
fowls will crowd down the weaker ones.

Water that is left standing in the
kitchen or bedroom, and, above all, in
the sick room, over night is liable to
contamination by the absorption of i'm
purities afoat in the air in such rooms
and to be rendered wholly unfit for
use. No matter that the water is cold,
even to near freezing; it is so much
more liable to absorb and hold in solu-
ton the foul gases and organic particles
to which it has been exposed. 1t is dam
gerous to use such water. Water should
not be SO left, but if it should chance to
be it should be thrown away. Freshly
drawn water only should always be
used for culinary purposes as well as for
drinking whenever practicable. More
over, the faucets over sinks and wash
basins are always more or less liable
to contamination, hence the first water
that flows on opening them after they
have been left all night without use
should always be let flow await is
