THE ITALIAN BEE.
Why 1t is More Profitable Than the
Common stock and Superior
to the Hybrids.

The Italian is the most profitable
bee. Even the hybrids are much su.
perior to the common bee. Sometimes
there are colonies of hybrids that are
better than the pure stock. But, as
writer correctly said: "Even if it
were true that hybrids produce as
much honey as pure Italians, each
beekeeper would want at least one
queen of absolute and known purity;
for although first cross might do
very well, unless he had this one pure
queen to furnish queen cells he would
soon have bees of all possible grades,
from the faintest trace of Italian
blood, all the way up. The objection
to this course is that these blacks,
with about one band to show trace of
Italian blood, are the wickedest bees
to sting that can well be imagined,
being very much more vindictive than
either race in its purity; they also
have very disagreeable way of tum-
bling off the combs in a perfectly
demoralized state whenever the hive
is opened, except in the height of the
honey season, and of making a gen
eral uproar when they are compelled,
by smoke, to be decent. Our pure
Italian stocks can be opened at any
time and their queens removed,
scarcely disturbing the cluster, and
as a general thing without the use of
any smoke at all, Dy one who is fully
conversant with the habits of bees.
A good many hybrids will not repel
the moth, as do the half-bloods and
the pure Italians. For these reasons
and several others, rear all queens
from one of known purity. If we do
this we may havealmost if not quite
the full benefit of the Italians as
honey gatherers, even though there
are black bees all about u.s."

Book Clubs for Small Towns.

A writer in the Ladies' Home Jour
nal, telling how to organize book
clubs in small communities, says that
one successful club was started in a
small country town of from 1000 to
$500 inhabitants. in which there was
no public library of any kind. It's
charter members numbered H. Each
member, except one. who was chosen
secretary and gave service instead of
money, paid into the general treasury
five dollars year. With the sum so
raised the club was able to subscribe
for II periodicals, weeklies and
monthlies. and to buy from II to "a
books chosen in general from amoug
the new publications.

against the corset. This being a free
country, there is no reason why a wom-
an who prefers to go about without
stays, whether from physical reasons
or personal convictions in the matter.
should not be allowed to follow her own
sweet inclination.
Personally, consider well-fitting,
properly constructed corset blessing.
There are, of course, some slight, will
lowy figures which can do without the
support of corset. But they are very
rare exceptions. Take, for example,
Mrs. Leslie Carter. Mrs. Carter wears a
little girdle about her waist, which is
all she requires, her figure being natur
ally slender, and. the physical culture
she has received in her years of hard
training having given her extraor-
dinary litheness and poise. But the
average woman has not the advantage
of Mrs. Carter's figure, nor the benefit
of long and harmonious physical train
ing. This everyday woman requires
corset, and not any or every corset
which she may chance to discover that
HdppcuS " ii certain hummer dl-
tached to it. There are two things
which she must observe with the great
est care. First, whether the corset it
self is made in the proper form and
well-constructed. Secondly, whether it
fits her. How many women, who are so
careful about the way their gowns or
coats fit, when purchasing corsets ig-
more either one or both of these pre-
cautions!
There are many good ready made
as well as custom-made corsets in the
market, and before making her pur-
chase she should first decide which
form is more suitable for her figure.
There are corsets for slender figures
and others adapted only to over-stout
women; there are some for long
waists and some for short waists.
Having selected her corset, she
should insist upon trying it on, and,
above all, she should never select
cheaper corset just because it is
cheaper. In stays, as in toilet soap,
a woman cannot afford to economize,
for health and comfort as well as
personal appearance are vitally con-
cerned. No matter how handsome a
gown may be, if it is fitted and worn
