The late Professor Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzscho left 51 unpublished manu- scripts. Arrangements are now being made to put them in print.
 Augustus St. Gaudens. the sculptor, is hard at work in Paris finishing the medallion of his friend, Robert Louis Stevenson, to be cast In bronze for the cathedral at St. Giles, in Edinburgh. Domenico Morelli, the greatest of liv- ing Italian painters, is Illuminating on parchment the prayer of Queen Mar gherita. His work will be reproduced in majolica, and the tablet will be set up in the Church of San Francesca di Paola In Naples.
 "Deaf as a post" is an actuality as re- gards Mir. Swinburne. Conversation with him is almost impossible, and he lives in world of his own. He owns some thing like gold mine in the shape of a large collection of pictures by Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
 Rider Haggard, the author, in a recent public address in London, said that ath- letic training was a most desirable prep aration in the life of a missionary be- cause nothing in a missionary impresses the savage so much as to find himself equaled or surpassed in strength and agility by the stranger.
 Frederick MacMonnies, the Brooklyn sculptor, will be awarded the gold medal of honor for his exhibit at the Paris eI- position, which consists of seven pieces the historic "Bacchante," "Sir Henry Vane," Shakespeare" "Venus and Adonis," two groups of horses and a marine and an army group.

THE DRESS MODEL.

The white cloth and light flannel waists with a colored dot or stripe will be in marked favor during the entire fall sea son.
 Some of the skirts of new tailor gowns, although circular in shape, are trimmed down the front and sides with bands of cloth put on exactly like the strapped seams of gored skirts.
 Tentative efforts are again being made both here and abroad in the direction of shorter skirts, but no one can yet make absolute affirmation concerning them, as the matter stands at present in the hands of American designers and specialists.
 There are new graceful autumn models in both five and seven gored skirts, the backs cut to conform to the latest style, of a certain amount of fullness at the back, in slight draperies In box plaits, a number of partly stitched plaits. or French shirrings. very closely massed.
 Chartreuse green, a rich beautiful shade of dahlia red, deep rose colored and jet black velvets are often seen on even ing toilets of cream and ivory white satin, crepe de chine and net over taffeta silk. The velvet decorations are almost cover ed with lattice network of jet or of lace designs en applique.
 After season of universal favor, it would be supposed that the demand would cease In at least the strictly fash ionable world, but the majority of the new autumn styles, for youthful wearers particularly, are made with some form or other of open fronted coat or jacket for either street or house use, and this calls again for some description of waist to wear beneath, and the shirt waist Is still found, as 1t has been for seasons past. to be the prettiest, smartest and most comfortable and becoming fnish.- New York Post.

BEE BUZZES.

In extracting 1t Is immaterial whether the queen has produced brood.
 Properly made honey boards will admit the bees, but exclude the queen.
 Natural queens are those produced by the swarming fever or by an overpro- duction of prosperity.
 Frames of honey that are intended for use in wintering the bees may be left in the upper stories and will usually keep better there than elsewhere. 60 Extracted honey unless sealed should always be kept in dry apartments. If thus when extracted, it should be kept in open barrels or cans In warm, dry room until 1t has thoroughly ripened.
 Propolis, or bee glue, is a substance that the bees gather the same as pollen. The bees use propolis to cement the combs to their supports, to fill up all rough places inside the hive, to seal up all crevices except the place of exit.
 Young bees build the comb, ventilate the hive, feed the larve queen and drones and cap the cells. The older bees gather the honey, collect the pollen, bring In the propolis, supply the hive with water, de- fend the hive from improper intrusion and destroy worthless drones.-St. Louis Republic.

Aut n m n.

Oh. the wheat is wearing whiskers, And the corn is wearing silk And the stalks are waving tassels all so fair; And the berries blush for pickers, And the COWS give huttermilk, And the thistle down is floating in the air. And the argus eyed new tater
 Is a-peepins from the hill. And the flax says. Wont you twist into
 twineY'
 And the ghost dust covered miller Is a.grinding at the mill. And the punkin is a-pulling at the vine. And once more 'tis Indian summer, For the weathers smoky blue, And the little ones swinging on the gate; The melon and the cucumber
 Are both making much ado. And the office seekers seeking OCT the state. And we hear the loud exhortcrs, - For 'tis now camp meeting time, es.s And the chickens are a-laying very lowI Es. And the harvest moon gives quarters To all those without a dime, And lovers stroll where gentle breenes blow. And Jack Frost his nest has feathered, And the squirrels in glee, And the thrasher's hum Is heard throughout the
 land,
 And the nuts will soon be gathered. And we'll have a husking bee, And natures music beats the village band And the cider press is grinding
 All the nectar from the fruit, And the farmer takes his swine unto the fair; And the gourd a-climbing,
 While the prices follow suit, And the thistle down is floating in the air.

"I'll Do What I Can."

Who takes for his motto. ''rn d. what can." Shall better the world as he goes down hfe't
 hill, The willing young heart makes the capable man. And who does what he oft do what he
 will There's strength in the impulse to help things
 along,
 And forces undreamed of will come to the aid Of who, though weak. yet believes he ia
 strong
 And offers himself to the task unairaid. 'Tn do what l can," is a challenge to fate, And fate must succumb when it's put to the
 test; heart that is willing to labor and wait In its tussle with life comes out the best It puts the blue imps of depression to rout And makes many difficult problems seem plain; It mounts over obstacles. dissipates doubt And unrayels kinks in hfes curious chain. 'rn do what can," keeps the progress machine In good working order centuries roll, And civilization would perish, do ween, Were those words not written many a soul They fell the great forests, they furrow the soil. They seek new inventions to benefit man; They fear exertion, make pastime of toll. Oh. great is earth's debt to "Pn do what
 canI'

Then the horse dragged the bar out of the ground. and ran away. After running about half a mile the horse collided with tree and the animals entrails gushed out of the wound made by the crowbsr. A rifle was quickly obtained and the horse was shot to death to end it's sufferings.

Editor Reyes of the Milford Citizen introduces new problem for those who say that true etiquette is founded on kindiiness and anselHshness. Then he propounds the query: "What sort of title shall be given the woman physician who is married when her name ia mentioned with her husbands, should her visiting cards be printed Mir. and Dr. or Dr. and Mr., or the humble Mfr. and Mrs ?" This is another complication where the mans name stands in the way of that of the womsns; but down in Winstsd they have in vented way out of this embarrassing situation. Had it not been for the literary talent of "M. A. F." Mir Sister Parsons would never have been heard nf
