completely and exposing her sides Until
the lights in her broadside windows
could be seen. Her sup erstructure
and about twelve inches of her body

Stripes, on o four-foot staff, fioated
aft. She had about 5000 pounds of
pig-lead ballast inside of her, and her
tanks fore and aft, which have capacity
for about nine and half tons Of
water, were full. Her trimming tank
amidships was empty. Her crew con-
sisted of Mr.. Holland, who was in the
coming tower; F. T. Cable, the cleo
trician; Henry Meyer, his assistant;
Nathaniel Addison, the engineer; W.
W. Scott, the draughtsman, and w.
F. G. Nindemann, the gunner. Mr..
Holland clamped down the lid of her
coming tower and filed her trimming
tank. The little whaleback settled
until her-decks were awash and moth
ing showed above the surface except
her turret and her flag. A whistle an
nounced that she was ready to dive,
and the tugs backed away to give her
sea room. Before the dive Mr.. Hol-
land sent the little whaleback along
the surface for a 2O0-yard run. She
developed speed of eight knots. Her
nose was pointed out toward the
Sand Hook light.
Assured that everything was in
working order, Mr.. Holland slowed
the little boat up ndpointed her nose
in toward the Navesink Highland,

A popular visiting costume is black

chiffon.
Capes for dresses are finished at the
bottom with points, under which is q
founce OF pleating of tulle or chiffon.
Jet is also much used.
Waists are to be fastened on the
side and will be trimmed with lace
and ribbons in oil colors. Satin will
be the material most used.
Flower gardens Oh the head in the
shape of hats will be prominent this
summer. They will be made of old
garden posies, and no ribbons will be
used.

passing fad of furniture buyers is
proved by the large line of goods in

Nuns veilings are shown in the
most e1quisitely fine qualities, and
there are canvas goods, with gauze
stripes and blocks, that are exceed
ingly handsome.
Wells are worn in dots AID large
blocks, and are the proper accompani-
ment of every big hat. They come
down below the chin and knot COM

the fact that the enormously wide

worn with white duck skirts this sum-
mer. They come in all lengths and
in every known combination of color,
and are finished at the ends with
fringe.
A novelty Sicillienne shows cords
and crossroads outlining squares OF
thin material. In some of the pat
terms the thin portion is slightly full,
giving the appearance of shirr threads,
which have drawn the fabric up very
slightly. {
Among the novelties in dress goods
are those with bayadere, or lengthwise
stripes of heavier threads, with the
spaces between made Of much lighter
material. This gives the semi-trans-
parent. gauzy effect, that is most
sought after this year.
At last something simple in the way
of lorgnette or watch chain has come
into vogue. It is plain black silk
cord of effective design, and is en-
bellished with tiny cut steel orna-
iments let in two inches or more apart.
It's simplicity is winning, after sll OF
the gold, silver and bejewelled chains
that have held sway so long.
A simple dress is of plain, black
organdie. The skirt is made with
four rufaes of equal width, the upper
one being gathered into the belt. The
f1ounces are edged with lace set on
perfectly fat. The waist has 9 yoke
of lace over satin, and from this the
material is gathered full to the belt;
the sleeves are series of pufts from
shoulders to wrists.

are long oil around. They are un-
lined, but hang over q separate silk
skirt, both being sewed into one band

perate struggle the enemy was repulsed
with great laughter" and only a few
days ago the Daily Chronicle of London
announced that one of the officers on

cording to MacMillan's magazine. once

ident medical officer to the Mater Mis-
ericordia hospital. Orders have been
issued by the cemetery committee for

ACTS FOR BEEKEEPERS.

The queen is the life of the colony.
Always set bcehives close to the
ground.
Keep the hives well painted, espe-
cially the roofs.
Hives should be set with entrances
facing south or east.
Smoke is the only thing that will sub
due or control bees.
Thorough ripening of honey is more
important than color.
Do not winter bees in a house unless
it is frost-proof and dark.
Put a good layer of sawdust around
the hive, especially in front.
The air should always circulate be.
tween the ground and the hive.
Never smoke bees at any time more
than is necessary to quiet them.
Wind breaks on the north and west
sides of the apiary r beneficial.
Heavy canvas or duck is a good ma.
terial to cover the frames in winter.
Very late swarming out is good evil
dence that the bees are starved out.
Bees Matched duAing the summer
months almost all de before spring.
Hives should not be set flat on the
ground, but be raised about two inches.
1t is an advantage always to furnish
! new swarm with a frame of young
brood.
In order to insure straight combs in
empty frames comb guides must be
used.
Neither honey boards nor boards Of
any kind should be placed directly in
the frames.
Some kind of absorbing material
should be placed directly over the
combs in winter.
The proper time for transferring
bees is early in the spring, when the
bees are gathering their first honey.
Roofs of hives of every kind should
have a good coat Of paint every fall;
leaky roofs are very damaging.-St

Bad Digestion, Bad Heart.

Poor digestion often causes irregularit,

be mistaken for real, organic heart disease.
The symptoms are much the same. There
is, however, a vast difference between the
two: organic heart disease is often incur
able; apparent heart disease is durable if
good digestion be restored.

years old, had suffered for four years with

Fish farming has never been taken up
seriously by our farmers, although
hundreds of farms have suitable water
privileges OIL are SO constituted that
ponds could easily be made on them.
The rage for German carp which swept
the country a few years ago has acted
as a setback for fish farming, because
the German carp is a coarse, flavorless
fish, its flesh full of bones and it's habits
that of q buzzard, no feed being too
foul for it and no pond too muddy.
We have native fishes that are first
class for the table. and with very little
trouble they could be bred with profit.
No doubt an acre in fish could be made
more profitable than 1t would be put
