TEDDY,s THROAT.

A New York correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun humorously represents "Dr"
Hanna as sitting up with Gov. Roosevelts
throat. and declaring to the people that
the Governors vocal chords are in such
terrible condition as that he will not be
able to make speeches for some time to
come Especially viruient symptoms
which developed at ST. Paul. says the
correspondent, have caused Or. Hanna
TO order peremptorily strict rest and quiet
for the patient,
Teddy's throat is naturally matter of
serious concern to the Republicans, for
reddy,s tongue is thing which not even
DR.. Hanna himself can control when it
once gets to wagging. TEDDY is fine
man for spectacle in a rough riding cam
spaign, but when it comes to talking in pub
lie he is as dangerous as dynamite.

THE TRAILING SKIRT.
Condemned by Medical Authorities
Who Declare 1t to he n Veri-
tnble Microbe Collector.

The physicians of Europe have band.
ed together against the trailing skirts.
During the scientific congress held at
Rome the delegates from the various
countries of Eurape have come to the
conclusion that long skirts are emf
nentiy dangerous to health.
DR.. Philip Casagrandi demonstrated
in most original and impressive fash
ion the Inconvenience and the sanitary
Seriis of this garment. He sent into
the streets a number of ladies carry
ing trailing skirts, with instructions
to walk about for an hour.
When the ladies returned the danger
Gus vestments were submitted to mi
croscopic examination, and on each of
the skirts DR.. Casagrandi discovered
whole colonies of microbes and bacilli.
The physicians determined that the
germs of influenza. consumption and
typhoid fever are the least of the evils
which careless mothers, after an hours
promenade, bring home to the cradles
| of their children.
In view of these alarming revela-
tions made by DR.. Casagrandi the n.y.
gienists present att congress prompt
| ly condemned the wearing of long
skirts.

THE FIRST PRINCIPLES.
BeekeepinE Cannot BE Made
Real Success.

There are few first principles that
should be remembered by every bee
keeper. Here are some of them:
/. Bees when frightened by smoke
will Immediately gorge themselves
with honey and lose all inclination to
sting.
3. The most vicious colony of hybrids
may be controlled by using little to.
bacco in the smoke.
3. The prosperity of colony depends
upon the fertility of the queen. If weak
colonies have not become populous in
one season, kill the queen and give them
another.
4. Toads, skunks and mice are great
enemies to bees; see that they do not
have access to the apiary.
5. Increasing or dividing should be
done as early as possible, but not until
stores are coming in 3abundantly.
6. Drones are just as essential as any
other bee, but too many are nuisance
This may be controlled by cutting out
drone combs and substituting worker
| comb or foundation.
T. Drones may be prohibited in objec
tionable colonies by dividing early il
the spring.
8. Keep all colonies strong.-Rober
Davis, in Farmers Advocate.

WEAVING THE PIGS.
Expert Experience on Subject
Which Is of Utmost Interest
TO Every Farmer.

am aware that there is a great diff
ference of opinion in regard to age
that young pigs should be allowed to
remain with their dam. ] have no
fixed rule, as l am guided largely by
the way in which the young pigs are
thriving. have frequently noticed
that the milk from the dam does not
agree with the young pigs, causing
excessive diarrhoea, and in this case
we wean the pigs at six weeks, but as
a general rule have found better re-
suits by allowing the pigs to remain
with the dam until eight weeks old.
A great many young pigs are injured
by feeding the sow too literally upon
strong rich food, and not having
much exercise in the open air. ! would
strongly recommend moderate exer-
else, with plenty of fresh air, which
is quite as essential as pure food.
After the young pigs are 10 days old
the sow should be literally fed upon
bran and Underground oats, with the
addition of small quantity of ground
peas or corn, but great care should
be taken that the sow should not re-
ceive much gram for about 10 days
after farrowing. Many young pigs
are so seriously injured during this
period that they never recover.-J. E.
Brethour, in Farmers Advocate.

it. Mrs. Bryan has great liking for
politics and accompanies her husband
on his campaign tours. Her tastes
are essentially literary.
Mrs. Adlai +. Stevenson is daugh-
ter of DR., L. w. Green, who was pres
ident of Center college, Danville, Ky,
when the democratic candidate for
vice president was attending studies
there. She is of revolutionary stock,
being great-granddaugh of

logarithms of the father that Adlai
Stevenson first met the daughter.
The marriage did not take place un-
till 1866. Is years later. There are
four children. Mrs. Stevenson went
to Washington with her husband
when he was elected to congress in
1874, again when he became postmas-
ter general, and later vice president,
and altogether has lived 16 years in
the capital. She is essentially home
loving woman, devoted to her family,
and entertained little in Washington.
Her taste in dress is extremely quiet
tand she seldom wears jewels.

despite her physical weakness Mrs.
Mckinley says she is the happiest of
women. The president likes nothing
better than to tell of the assistance
his wife has been to him in his work.
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt was Miss
Edith Kermit Carow when she was
married to the now candidate for vice
president in 1886. She is a handsome
woman, well educated, and thorough
1y familiar with the requirements of
society. She is warm admirer of
Mrs. Grover Cleveland, especially as a
wife and mother, and warmly ap-
proves the declaration of the former
presidents wife that children belong
exclusively to the home and fireside,
and should never know they are OBJ
jects of public interest, especially dur
ing political campaign. She is care
full to screen her children in all ways
possible from photographers, and
likewise shuns publicity for herself.
She declares children, if promiscuous-
ly admired, become self-consciouS
vain and conceited and lose those
traits OF innocence and loveliness
beautiful in children. There are six
children. The eldest, Alice, aged 16,

the interior, and yet it communicates
with all three pens. The inside divi-
sions are of wire netting, allowing the
sunshine that enters at one side of the
house to fall into all the pens; but the
house should be SO located that three
sides may receive morning, noon and
afternoon sun. The same plan is fol-
lowed for dividing the yard outside as
for dividing the space inside the house.
This gives large amount of yard
space, with the yards conveniently To-
Gated. This building is shingled all
over the outside, with the heaviest
building paper under the shingles, and
may either be sheathed or lathed and
plastered inside. - Orange Judd
