Pelvic catarrh is a new name for
verv common disease known as female
weakness. Most women have more or
less what is called female complaint.
This is in reality pelvic catarrh.
There are SO many women, especially
married women, who drag themselves
YEARLY around from year to year, mis-
cradle beyond description. They ache
and tremble and throb, growing more
nervous, tired and debilitated every day.
For this class of sufferers Pe-ru-na is
the most perfect remedy in existence.

half or two thirds are settled therein
lose no time in removing the box a
few yards away. The bees that have
gone back to the old spOt-and some
hundreds of them will be sure to do so
and those that are on the wing, will
soon find it and enter it more freely
and much sooner than if it be permit
ted to remain where they were first
shaken.
When the bees are we'll settled in the
receiving-bO don't be too particular
if a few hundreds are on the wing; it
won't matter. Take them to the hive
that is to be their permanent home.
Always have an untenanted hive prop
erly fitted up with starters (strips of
foundation comb attached to the top
bar of each frame) and put in posi-
ton so that all the frames will hang
perfectly plumb. Remove the cover of
the hive and also the quilt; space the
frames-no occasion to be too particu-
lar just now-bring over the bees in
the receiving-box, and tumble them
pell-mell on top of the frames.
AS soon as they are thrown in
to the frames they will begin to de-
scend in a moving mass among the
frames. Pick up the quilt, place it
over the bees that are resting on the
frames-it won't injure them-put
four stones. one on each corner Of it,
to keep it from blowing away, and
now leave them alone for some hours.
Don't wait till night, or even the twi-
light, as is usual, to do all this. There
is no advantage in it that I have ever
discovered; but, on the contrary, the
bees may abscond if not soon hived. If
you have not time to attend to all this,
that is another thing. In that case re-
move the box with the bees to shade
of a bush, or in some way protect
them from the direct sunlight, and
leave them till you have time. Under
no circumstances should the bees be
allowed to remain in the box too long.
AS soon as they have taken possession
Of a place they at once begin to work.

Swarming and living.


Perhaps the one stage in bee-keep-
ing that requires the least protection
and minimum of courage is ''swarm
catching'-th is, taking natural
swarms after they have alighted in a
cluster on bush Or other object they
have chosen for the purpose. 70 me
it is one of the most interesting sights
in Nature to watch a swarm leaving
the parent stock, raising on the wing
and performing a beautiful, May cvO-
luton like a country dance ml1-air TO
the accompaniment of a soft, melOM-
Gus, gentle hum, so indicative of peace
goodwill and enjoyment at the pros
pect of establishing a successful home
of their own; the main body keeping
up these beautiful movements whilst
the scouts are flying hither and thither
in search of a suitable spot on which
to alight; and then to see them hasten
to bush in thousands and threading
in and out amongst the foliage, now
here then there; until the scouts trum-
pet forth the call to assemble. l have
never yet discovered that call, but it
must be we'll known to the bees; for
when the spot on which to light is
found, and the call made, you will see
all the bees that are on the wing head
towards it. even those that form the
,,,oc+ 1icto nj ai1.c1a
When the place of assemblage is
found, what change takes place in
their song! from the gentle, peaceful
hum to one of ecstatic delight. Note
again, if the bees have made up their
mind to go farther afield to form a
new home, there will be change in
their movements and in their song.
Instead of making easy, graceful NOV
ments to and fro, the whole swarm
will become agitated, the scouts will
be called in, and their song becomes
one of great disappointment, not to
them, but to you, when you see your
cherished hope rising in the air like a
rapid movement they make for-you
know not where. But" you say, 81

quently, to prove to OnlOOkers the ease
and freedom from danger with which
you can handle bees under such cir
cumstances, have barred my arm and
passed my hand through to the other
side of them. TO do so your move
ments must be slow and gentle. Try
it; but, in doing so, don't forget, "Be
gentle"
If Bookkeeping be INDUCED in as a
hobby, artificial .swarming robs it of
one of it's most interesting and fas-
cinating features.
AS rule, early spring swarms do not
abscond on the day they leave the par
ent hive. Sometimes they will hang
for days to the place they first settled
on. Early swarms cluster low. The
reason is not far to seek. 1t is the old,
pregnant queen that issues forth with
the early swarms. She is heavy and
the workers know it. Sometimes bees
cluster in the most inaccessible places;
against a wall, in the cleft in log or
stump, in between the forks of trees;
from such places you cannot shake
them. 1t is under such conditions as
these that the amateurs courage and
patience arc put to the test. How can
they be dislodged and put into a box
prior to living? Sometimes you may
dislodge them with smoke. The most
effectual way is to remove them with
the hand. Place the receiving-box as
near to the bees as you can; on the
ground is best. Then scoop them up
in handfuls, placing the first few hand
fuls on the ground. Put the receiver
over them, resting on small stone
with room enough to give access; then
throw other handfuls near the en-
trance to the box. When you see those
you have placed on the ground freely
enter the box, those bees you have left
behind will soon follow. BIT if you
are present when the bees are on the
wing, all this may be avoided: "Pre
ventiOn is better than cure" Wher
you see the bees have chosen q place Of
settlement from which it will be diff
cult to dislodge them, take a leafy
bOugh and quickly move it up and
down over the site chosen. They will
soon fOrsane it for one better adapted
to your purpose; if not, repeat the ac-
ton.
If they have chosen leafy bush on
which to settle, boxing them is easily
enough done. Place the receiving box
directly under the cluster of bees,
mouth upwards, give the bough a sud-
den jerk; the bees will fall in and
around the box. Now, turn it over,
with the bees in it-Of course some
will fall out resting on three stones.
The bees Will at once begin entering
it; but should they return TO the
bough, wait till about half are clust-
cred, and shake them again.
Sometimes they are so indiscreet as
to select bough high up out of reach.
1t is then the swarm catcher comes in

OUTING OF THE
 RAILROAD MEN More Than a Thousand Excur-
 sIoniStS in the Party. SPENT DAY AT TRUSSVILLE Speeches Were Made. Dancing Was In- dulged In, and There Was Tar get Contest-Alderman Jones
 Carried Of Honors.
SPENT DAY AT TRUSSVILLE

The largest and probably the most sue cessful picnic of the year was that given yesterday by the Railroad Mems Political club at Trussvle There were by actual count 1,673 excursionists, not counting the children, on the big train which pulled out of the passenger station yesterday morning, The day was most enjoyably spent, and great credit is due to the managers of the outing for the perfect arrangements. There was not a hitch anywhere, and the order maintained on the grounds all day was splendid.
 Among the attractions Of the day were speeches by Alderman Jones, of Bfrming- ham, T. s. Pounds a candidate for sheriff next year and w. B. Radford, president of the Railroad Mems Political club. A large number of couples enjoyed dancing in the pavilion all day long, and they were skillfully handled by John McDougal.
 Contest in Shooting
 One of the most interesting features of the day was a contest at the shooting gal lery Alderman Jones won the gentleman's prize, a handsome silver pitcher, having made 26 out of a possible 30 shots. M J. Fahey was second with 23 hits. Mrs. w. B. Radford, wife of the president of the club, won the ladies' prize, an elaborately deco rated lamp. She made 19 out of possible 90 points. Mrs. c. A. Garden was second with b points,
 The officers of the club and all of the members are unanimous in thanking Su- perintendent Wickersham of the Alabama Great Southern railroad for the great cour- tesy he showed the club in getting the train for them yesterday free of charge.
 There were only two incidents yesterday to mar an otherwise good entertainment. Naturally such a large crowd as this at tracts d number of "undeslrables,' and among this number were several men who insisted on shooting craps in d vacant store in Trussvlle. Deputy Sheriffs Albert Stradford and Andy Burgin happened to be at the picnic, however, and hearing of the game, they went into the store and caught the young men in the act. The gamblers were promptly arrested and given a hearing before a justice of the peace in Trussville. They were bound over to await the action of the grand jury of Jefferson county.
 Soon afterwards the officers heard of several men selling beer about a mile from the grounds. They made a raid and se- cured a quantity of beer which they con- tiscated and will keep to use as evidence against the offenders. Both of these incl dents happened early in the morning, and the remainder of the day passed off with out incident
