Nine dog catchers are to be chosen
from a great list of applicants before
the Chicago Civil Service Commission,
and Secretary Corcoran says that the
examinations of those who want to
fill the position are to be conducted
by the nine young women employed in
the office. 1t Is expected that thereby
the genus dog catcher" in Chicago
will be distinctly improved.
The most painless and artistic way
of "roping' fleeing poodle will be
one of the questions, Commissioner
John w. Ludwig gives as the reason
for the step that enough consideration
has not heretofore been shown the
feelings of captured dogs by catchers,
and that more tender-hearted corps
of officers can only be secured by al
lowing the young women to make the
choices.
Among the queries considered by the
fair arbiters for adoption are the fol
lowing:
what should be done to nice,

8rly on the street, provided the dog
has no licenseW
"If dog has a license and is ac,
companied by another dog without
one, which should be taken into the

Their Remarkable Annual Product, and
Recent Growth OF the Industry.

Recent Growth OF the Industry.
"When the story of the twelfth cen.
sus is fully told 1t will show in an
interesting way the astonishing devel.
opment of the apiarian industry in
the United States" said Professor 1. o.
Howard, Chief of the Bureau of En-.
tomology and known all over the
country as Uncle Sans "bug man."

ment of the last forty years." he con.
tinued, although isolated individuals
were engaged in the work long before
that time. The Importance of the In.
dustry Mt the present day Is not gen.
orally realized. There are more than
100000 persons engaged In the culture
Of bees in the United States alone,
and the present census will show the
present annual value of apiarian prod.
ucts to be in excess of S20,000,000.
There are 40 apiarian societies. Eight
journals of some magnitude are devot
ed to the industry. Fifteen steam
power factories and n very large mum
her of small factories are engaged In
the production of supplies for the bee
industry. Mr. Benton, our bee eX'

ing fora of the United States could
undoubtedly support with the same
average profit ten times the number of
'olonies of bees 1t now supports. Think
what that means. An industry of
$200,000000 year supporting 5000,
600 healthy, happy workers.
'This branch of agricultural indus
try does not impoverlsh the soil in the
least, but. ON the contrary, results in
better seed and fruit crops. The total

The demand for American honey
Is increasing. England is our chief
buyer. Ships sail every summer from
San Francisco and San Diego Cal,
and from New York and Philadelphia
carrying cargoes of honey to the Old
World. The United States produces
more honey than any other nation.
In this country the finest honey is
gathered from hives where white clio.
yer and Eastwood are accessible. In
quantity it falls below that made from
golden rod and buckwheat blossoms.
From New York. Pennsylvania and
Vermont comes the greatest quantity
of comb honey. while Arizona and Cal.
ifornia furnish most of the extracted
or liquid honey.

Lace capes are about the most ex-
that are seen anywhere. They can
be made possible for winter as well
as summer wear provided they are
lined with warm lining. They look q
little incongruOus at first for cold
weather, but as they are trimmed with
fur and rich embroidery in spangled
designs, they can hardly be classed
as exclusively summer garments. The
white lace wraps are made up over
accordion-pleated mousseline de sole
that. in Its turn, is lined with white
satin. They are quite long, and the
lace Is put on rather full, but not In
pleats, and the full beauty of the
design shows over the light mousse

shoulders Is sometimes hidden by a

Fashions From Paris.

Some odd ideas are shown in the
decoration of gowns in Paris now. For
instance, n travelling gown of loosely
woven palc-blue plaid cheviot has
bands OF white enamelled leather for
trimming. These outline the vest,
form the collar and belt, and run in
two points down on the front of the
skirt. The lower part of the skirt
is made in kilt form-a pretty old-fash-
ioned revival.
Stitched bands are most popular
wherever they are possible. even on
silk gowns. On duck, linens and
pques they are the usual trimming.
On a blue yachting gown the white
pique front panel has crlsscrosscd
bands of the same stitched on.-Har-
per's Bazaar.

They wear wrappers in the morning

they never appear with hat on. The
