PHOEBE A. HEARST.
Missouri Girl Who BecaIne Famous
Her Devotion to Children.

Her Devotion TO Children.
"About fifty years ago Mrs. Hearst
was born in Missouri. Her name was
Phoebe Apperson, and she came OF
good uthern stock. her father a n
ginian. her mother South Carolinian.
Her parents and the parents Of Mr..
Hearst were neighbors, and the little
girl, born to the Appersons, was named
for Mrs. Hearst, mother OF the boy
who was to be her husband. Young
Hearst went to California, found sue
cess, and returned to make his Mis-
souri, sweetheart his wife. taking her
to California while she was still in
girlhood. Before she was twenty, her
sou was born-the only child she has
had. Mrs. Hearst says she regrets
that she has had only one child. She
would like to have raised O family of
sons and daughters, bat as she has
brought up several nieces, and has
educated and reared the children Of
her kith ard kin, to say nothing of
the countless children for whose edu-
cation she has provided IN the kinder
gartens she has endowed, and the
Young geniuses she has schooled in
Europe, she seems to have done her
full personal duty to humanity.
''In appearance Mrs. Hearst is slight
and not tall. She gives an impression
of fragility which is scarcely carried
out by her ceaseless activity. Some
times tho nervous exertion tells on
her, and she is forced to delegate
social duties to her assistants. AL
though she employs corps Of secre-
taries, Mrs. Hearst always opens her
letters. It is characteristic of the
thoroughness OF the woman. And
this, although her mail runs into hun
dreds of letters day. Most of them
are begging letters from people who
do not know that this sympathetic and
charitable woman is too wise to give
except through organized channels.
''AIrs. Hearst's hair is pale brown.
lightly siIvered with gray. 1t is parted
at the middle and ripples away at the
side in a Madonna-like coiiiure very
becoming to Mrs. Hearst's benign ex-
preston and regular features. The
nose is straight, regular and rather
small, the eyes large, full and gray,
AID the forehead we'll shaped and pro-
n0unced in intellectually. The lips
are rather thin, delicately curved and
almost coorless. There IS very little
color in the cheeks.
Sin spite Of her life in the public
eye, and the importance which her
position has thrust upon her, in spite
of the responsibilities Of her wealth,
Mrs. Hearst has horror Of publicity.
She has been interviewed many times,
and has been misquoteQ many times.
She cannot see why she cannot be left
to lead her life in her own way, and
she does not understand why the pub
lie should be interested i'll ell she does
and says. She is quite sincere in say
ing that she does not see that she is
at all extraordinary. She has not yet
realized that an unsclfsh person, de-
voted to the public good, with no
thought of self and no desire for self
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, is the most remark
able being on earth. "-Ainslee's Maya

The use of sealing wax has become
so generally fashionable that before
long it may be considered vulgar to
seal envelopes with gum. Who knows
but there may be q revival, too, of
those mysterious love signs which
were rampant in the good old days of
yore? Sixty or more years ago a
flaming rel. wafer was used by de-
spairing lover when sealing letter
to indicate distressed and bleeding
heart; a yellow one when Jealousy
was ranking in his breast; a black
one indicated anger and resentment;
a green one. fckleness; violet one,
faithfulness and consistency, and a
blush pink, blissful contentment and
happiness. Quaint old seals engraved
with notices, with crests and mono
grams, have become much sought
after, and the most fascinating OF all
is the old fashioned set Of seven seals
with a motto for each day Of the
week,

The Question of the Nose.

Mothers should care for the noses
OF the children and sec that they grow
properly. The soft tissues of the c1-
gan can be moulded in early life A
thick nose can be made thinner by
regular treatment, such as compress
ing it daily, either with the fingers or
with instruments made with springs
and padded ends so as to clasp the
nose. A clothes-pin has been used
and so adjusted as to bring about the
right amount of compression. Many
noses are wrung and twisted out of
shape by the vigorous use OF the hand
kerchief. The delicacy of the struc-
ture Of the nose is not appreciated.
The shape and size of the nose are
often of character to cause great dis
tress to the person, and the deformity
for in some instances it really
amounts to this-is borne with forti-
tude and resignation as something
which cannot be remedied. The in
portance of the nose in its relation to
appearance has been appreciated by
the modern surgeon, and he does not
regard it as beneath his dignity to per-
form operations for the improvement
OF this feature. Noses which are nat
urally misshapen and those have been
made so by blows and accidents are
restored, or modified to assume a
proper shape. Usually a deformed
nose interferes with the air-passages,
narrowing or blocking them, and the
operation is matter of necessity as
well as of appearance. Persons do
not hesitate to spend time, money and
much endurance to have their teeth
Strengthened; it is often quite as i'm
portant to the health, and more i'm
portaut to the looks, to have the nose
Strengthened or to have it restored to
a more desirable form-Dr. Grace
Peckham Murray, in Harper's Bazaar.

the plaits which are so much in evil

full flare, which adds so much to the
beauty Of outline, will be increased
rather than lessened, and plain skirts
evidently will be quite out of the ques-
ton. The trained effect appears on
all the models which are as yet being
sent out from Paris.
The newest round skirt from Paris
is either goffered, tucked or gathered
at the waist and over the hips. Other
skirts are tucked at the top and then
accordeon-plaited. This killed cloth
is chic and has the advantage of nov

farm and Garden Notes.

1t is a good plan to divide the poul-
try run into two parts and cultivate
one-half each year.
Do not set tree deeper than it
stood in the nursery row, except in
the case of dwarf pears.
Horses that are being fattened
should be given some exercise, not as
much as when in good flesh.
s Exercise in the open air uncontam-
mated with foul odors from stables is
absolutely essential to the healthy de-
velopment of all young animals.
Poor parchment paper should never
be used in packing butter. 1t is much
more profitable to buy the best grade,
although it costs considerably more.
Soft feed may be given either morn
ing, noon or night, according to CON
venience. The common practice is to
feed in the morning, but other plans
have many advocates.
In pruning shrubs the late summer
and fall bloomers may be put into
symmetrical form in early spring.
The spring boomers should not be
pruned until directly after towering.
Skim milk in moderate quantities
rs often been fed to young colts after
wsaning, with good results. If the
colt has been we'll cared for up to
wear ing time, feeding milk is hardly
ever necessary.
Hive stands should not be less than
six or eight inches high to keep them
safe from toads. In the evening toads
can be seen going about in the apiary
seeking what they can find.

Handsome New Gowns.

Some of the prettiest new gowns
are OF black net or grenadine over
black silk, with the overdress pro.
fusely RULED. The ruhies number
from three to five, and vary in width
from four inches to six. They are
applied either straight around the
skirt or curving slightly upward to
the back. A charming effect is pro-
duced by edging the rufies at both
upper and lower edges with narrow
white or colored velvet ribbon, re-
peating the treatment on the waist.

Getting the water Into the Earn.

Some pumps need only alittle eleya-
ton to make it possible to run the
water by spout right into the barn,
where the cattle can drink without
being exposed to cold or storms. The
cut shows a pump raised and the
elevated platform boxed in, the in
terror being filed with hay to keep
the pump from freezing. This is not
difficult job, and the results are
often worth a great deal during a
single winter even. The pump can
be lowered again for summer use if
desired, setting the elevated platform
away for use again the following win
ter. Few realize what an immense
amount of animal heat land therefore

are turned out to a watering place on
a cold day in winter. The animals
come in shivering, their backs rounded

standing on end. 1t takes an hour at

Do not buy more than one or two
colonies to start with, as these will
develop numberless problems TO be
solved. As your experience increases
you eau increase the number of hives
Bees transported by railroads must
always be sent by express, as they
will not be received as freight. The
express rate is double the usual charge,
so it makes colony of bees rather
expensive if purchased at distance.
| would advise buying near at hand,
if possible, even though they are COM
mon bees and in box hive. They
can be easily transferred to movable
frame hive aud then Italiauized.
OF course the spring of the year IS
the best time to buy bees, but better
late than never, for colony of bees
can be moved without loss almost any
time if you know how to do it. I
would locate them not more than fifty
feet from the house, where they will
get some sunshine and some shade;
facing the hives south or east SO the
entrance will be sheltered fron the
severe winds in winter. I would ad-
wise beginner to use an eight-frame
hive, as that will give the best re-
suits in most locations, especially if
one desires increase. A double
walled hive is preferred by many, as
it viii winter bees perfectly on the
summer stands in any of the middle
States and will do away with the
trouble of wintering them in the cell
lar, or any other separations, which,
of course, would be necessary if in a
single walled hive. Keep everything
neat and clean around the hives.
%The grass should be moved &C.
casionally, so as not to grow up in
front of the entrance and hinder the
bees from entering the hive. Set the
hives on stands six Or eight inches
high, so as to have them out of reach
OF toads, for they will lick the bees
off the alighting board at good rate
if within their reach. There is no
advantage in having the stands higher
than that, as the bees very often miss
the alignting board when coming III
heavily laden. If moderately high
they can easily crawl to the entrance.
When lifting off supers of honey it is
best not to have the hive too high.
The hives should be examined occa
sionally to see if the bees need more
room. By giving careful attention
one can obtain anywhere from twenty
five to 100 pounds of honey per col
ony. I had a few colonies that
reached 1906 pounds of comb honey in
in 1898, which sold for fifteen cents
per pound and Melted about SIG per
colony. Many persons keep a few
colonies of bees in slip-shod way,
and hardly get enough honey for
their table, but all things being equal
there is more profit and pleasure in
beekeepinS than in any other agri-
cultural pursuit. Tons of nectar
evaporate every year from the flowers
for the want of bees to gather it.
Why not have some OF it to supply

again. Under such conditions the
best results in dairying cannot be
secured. Where water can be run into
the barn in the way suggested, it will,
on standing a while, acquire the
temperature of the barn, being then
much more suitable for COWS to drink,
while the latter will also be saved the
exposure to cold winds.

WHAT DOES THIS LACK
Surely Akron Readers
Cannot Ask Better
Proof.

Can the Akron reader ask for more
convincing proof than testimony pub
lshed every day from representative
citizens of Akron. If so, what sort
of proof can it be? Read this;
Mrs. Mary Smetts, of $50 Bowery
st., says: I'm the summer of 1896 I
told the people of Akron through our
newspapers about the great benefits
l received from the use of Doan's
Kidney Pills. Shortly after procured
them mt Lamparter & Co.'s drug store
they cured me of kidney complaint
and relieved me from the vast amount
of suffering. During the two years
and half which have just passed the
results have been permanent, conclu-
sively proving that the benefits re-
ceived from Doan's Kidney Pills are
not transitory."

Local Italians Express Sorrow Over
Death Of King Humbert.

1t may be significant of some im-
portant move contemplated in Italy,
or it may be a mere co-incident, that
many Italian laborers throughout this
country have suddenly decided to pay
visit to their fntherland. There are
many anarchists among the laborers,
aud the statements made that they
approve the assassination of King
Humbert has caused considerable Gu
riosity, relative to the motive induc-
ing Italians to return to their native
land at this tine.
The fact that 10 of the Italians en-
ployed by the Northern Ohio Traction
company in making improvements in
this city have quit work during TIE
past few days, announcing their in
tention of going to Italy, would arouse
little curiosity We're it not for other
circumstances. The men were well
paid, and were satisfied with the con-
ditions under which they labored.
They refused to give any reason for
quitting, other than desire to go
back to Italy. Nothing was thought
of this, at the time, but when reports
began coming in from all aling the
lines of the A., B. & G. and y. o. T..
companies thSt Italians were leaving
for Italy, it seemed more than a CO.
incident. During the past few days,
at least % Italians working for these
two companies have left for Italy, and
it is said others will follow.
OF the 100 men now working for the
N. o. Il. corylHny in this city, 40 are
Italians. They offer no explanations,
nor suggestions, relating to the reasons
their brothers have for leaving.
A reporter for tie Democrat on
Thursday, talked with a number Of
local Italians, who are able to read and
write the English language, and they
all expressed sorrow over the tragic
death of the King of Italy, and de-
plored the fact that anarchists exist
so numerously in, their native coun-
try.

HANNA
DispIeased With Apathy
Among Republicans.
They Aren't Doing Enough Hurrahing
to Suit Him.

New York. Aug. 9.--(Spl.)--Senator
Marcus A. Hanna has begun harvest
ing. He left on the Fall River boat to-
night for Boston to enthuse the New
Englanders into taking stock III his
cainpaign fund He has been getting
some money here in New York, but he
wants more right away and he Is out
after 1t.
That is why he has gone to make
party call on the New England manu-
facturers. Mr.. Hanna is afraid of his
old enemy, General Apathy" and he
sees in him more reason to fear Repub-
lican defeat than in Mr.. Bryans speech
of acceptance, imperialism or other an
ti-Republican forces.
APATHY is often more to be feared
than open opposition. Confident as
am that the great majority of voters
in this country hope TO see the Re
publlcan ticket successful, 1 do not
hesitate. to say that am not pleased
with the present condition of affairs.
Enthusiasm must be aroused. When
that is accomplished the only thing
that will remain to be done will be the
inauguration of Mckinley and Roose-
velt."
! That is the view of the political sit
uation taken by Senator Hanna and by
him expressed to NJ. w. Fitch of Grand
Rapids, Mich, today. Mr.. Fitch, who
is manufacturer Of furniture, called
at the Republican national headquar-
ters and endeavored to obtain from
the chairman of the national committee
his idea concerning the outcome Of the
campaign, especially in the states of
Ohio, Indiana and illinois. Senator
Hanna did not hesitate to express his
disapproval of Republican apathy.
