tired naval officer. The life on

On Christmas, for once in the year at
least, all rules, of which there are so
many on board battleship. are
thrown to the winds and the jackies
are given the entire freedom of the

exactly as they like, and take any lib
critics they choose short of blowing ur

It sometimes happens when the shin
is in some attractive port that the
sailors prefer to spend the day on
land, and they are of course always
granted leave Of absence 1t is sell
dom, however, that the ship is so de-
serted that the cabins are not for the

monium. There is no formal celebra-

New York, June l9.-"The st. Louis
exposition of 1906 in commemoration of
the Louisiana purchase is expected to
ont rival many such enterprises in the
past, said G. w Mcbride, ex-United
States Senator from Oregon. The sena.
tor is a member of the st Louis exposi-
ton commission, which was chosen to
represent executors interests in the
United States government at the fair.
He continued:
"What makes me think that the fair

enthusiasm with which the people OF
st. Louis and of the middle west have
taken hold of it. There will be no lack
Of funds. The government will furnish
100000, the company 100000 and

"Since the exposition is to celebrate
the Louisiana purchase. it can also be
said to celebrate the principle of expan.
sion. which gives the enterprise still
greater significance.

grandmother-could do anything she
liked with the insects. | learned then
an important lesson in keeping bees,
which was that they are not apt to
sting a calm, good tempered person
who Is not afraid of them.
Wild flowers are not so abundant now
in the older parts of the country as
they used to be, and in these localities
It is necessary to plant buckwheat and
white clover in fields and patches for
the bees to store honey from. White
clover honey is very fair and delicate
Buckwheat honey is dark and rich. with
a spicy flavor which some persons do
not like, but which those who do like it
consider unsurpassed. The red clover
blossom our bees cannot get their
tongues into, though it is claimed that
the giant bee of the orient, which our
agricultural department proposes to i'm
port from the Philippines, is so long
tongued that it can lap the sweets even
from red clover. At present these
sweets are monopOlized by the humble
bee. In California the abundant wild
sage furnishes the exquisitely perfum-
ed white honey so priced in eastern
markets.
Even with the need of planting fow-
ers for the bees in the older portion of
the country, however. the wax and hon
ey industry pays well. There are twice
as many honey eaters I'm the land as
there were 20 years ago, and beekeep-
ing methods are twice as skillful and
economical The invention of the hon
ey extractor enables the same comb to
be used over and over again without
making the little bee waste her SUBJ
stance and the time of her one season
of life In secreting wax. The improved
hives prevent the freezing out In win

repulsive progeny. can also be routed

have mechanical talent, so that she can
make her own hives, which is a saving.
Any intelligent woman in the country
who is favorably situated can add ma
terially to her income from the sale Of
bees, honey and wax. The price of
beeswax is steadily rising, and it is be-
coming more scarce.
What should woman do who wishes
to go into beekeeping? First let her
consider whether there is near by a
sufficient market for her product; next
whether transportation is not so expen-
sive that II will eat up her profits; then,
If she knows nothing of the business,
let her get a reliable book on beekeep-
ing. 1t and its advertising pages will
tell her all that is necessary for her to
know. and intelligence and persever-
ailce win do the rest. Good luck to her!
