The Presidents Band to Travel.

By permission of the president.
Secretary Long has issued q leave of
absence for the L. s. Marine Band of
Washington, to visit mum Der of the
leading cities, to give exhibition CON
certs. This band was organized un-
der a special act of congress, approx
ed March Sd, 1899, and enlarged to
IA men. The pay of the musicians
was increased three and four fold,
and the leader was made a lieuten-
ant. For this the friends of the
band labored many years, and it is
now undoubtedly the best paid Ma
tional band in the world, as well as
the largest.
The leader, Lieut. VIM, NJ Santel-
mann, had long been a prominent
musical light in the Capital, and is a
musician of the highest ability He
is a native of Hanover. Germany,
and is a graduate of the Conserva-
tory of Leipsig.
1t is the desire of the officials that
this band, which is a matter of great
expense to the government, but
necessary adjunct to official life in
Washington, may be heard by the
people at large, and that they may
In this way be able to Judge of it's
greatness and the wisdom of the ap-
preparations which maintain it.

South African Republics.

Washington. March 15.-The
friends of the South African republics,
both in and out of official circles here.
were surprised to-day to have their
attention called to the fact that this
government has officially recognized
the annexation by Great BritaIa.
In the annual review OF commerce. f
the United States with foreign aaHn-
tries, published by the state deparl-
ment, which made its appearance. Ju-
day, the commerce OF the South Afri-
can Republic is presented under the
heading Of "The Transvaal." and
that Of the Orange Free State under
that OF the Orange River Colony"
the names by which the republics
have been designated by the British
since their invasion
a foot note under each explains
that the two republics have been am
neXed by great Britain
This is the first public official ex-
preston that the United States rec
ognizes the extinction of the repub-
lies, and it is also the first official
recognition given to the annexation
by any of the powers.

Wells ARE NOT HURTFUL.
Latest Dictum Says They May he
Worn with Impunity by Any
Who Fancy Them.

Much has been said about the harm
fulness of wells. They have been
charged with responsibility for the
headaches that so frequently afriict
femininity; they have been accused
of making the girls cross-eyed and
near-sighted; they have been COM
PEELED to bear the blame for all the
blotches that on occasions disfigure
the complexion. They have especially
called forth the disapproval of the
physician and the animadversion of
the oculist. This fact, however, has
never interfered with the wearing of
these filmy beautifiers.
There are some women who decline
to wear dotted wells; there are few
who refuse to wear wells of any kind,
but the great ma ajority of them would
as soon go out of doors without a col
lar as without veil. Some of these
enthusiasts have been collecting stat
istics, and they are triumphant. Men
never wear wells, they say, except in
the deserts, where dust storms are
frequent, and yet men habitually re-
sort to the use of glasses at an earlier
aye IHdu NOHeH. L Ht,N llkeNlS cdll
attention to the fact that women
habitually do fine needlework and en-
b. oidery, which is far more trying to
the eyes than the work of the average
man could possibly be.
In regard to the statement that wells
are injurious to the complexion, these
women argue that not only does a
veil keep the dust out of the pores,
but it protects the tender cutiGle from
the effects of wind and sun, md so
prevents wrinkles and retards the in
evitable darkening of the skin by the
march of time. That a filmy bit of
silk tissue or lace can heat the skin
and cause it to be covered with a
sticky moisture is, they declare, i'm
possible. That it can interfere with
the circulation is also extremely un-
likely. And so madam, secure in the
panoply of her own observation and
experience, calmly proceeds to tie a
fresh veil over her pretty face and go
on her conquering way.-Chicago

BEES WILL PAY TAXES.
There Is No Good Reason why Every
Farmer Should Not Raise
Crop of Honey.

In bulletin recently issued by the
Rhode Island board of agriculture the
secretary of the board, George A.
Stockwell, says:
Economical as the farmer may be,
careful as he may clean in field and
roadside (perhaps, meanwhile, COM
planning of low prices and high
taxes), yet he is uncons cious, often
apparently, of the presence, or in
different to the value, of a rich and
bountiful crop, free gift of nature,
prepared every year that may be of
sufficient value to pay the taxes.
Honey is as much money crop as
any other and there is no reason why
1t should not contribute to the gem
eral welfare.
In the city of Providence one coll
ony of bees gathered in one season
7S pounds of comb honey, sold at 25
cents per pound, or $3.50; another
colony in the same apiary gathered in
the same season 124 pounds of ex-
tracted honey, sold at ~ cents per
pound, or $20.s0. Other colonies in the
same apiary produced 20 to 60 pounds
of comb or extracted honey each,
above what was required to support
them during the winter.
Beekeeping is usually joint indus
try. Bees must have some attention,
but do not require so much care as
some persons suppose. BY the use OF
the double, warming hives bees
may be left to themselves most of
the time and the farmer may give his
attention to poultry raising, small
fruit culture, gardening, ETC., as
sured that his bees are working for
his benefit to supply his table and
pay or help pay the taxes.

"Isn't it marveous!" said the young man
as thoy stood looking at the armless wonder.

The Hair in Hot weather.

Oil the head at night three times
weekly. On the following day wash
with soap and water, rinse and expose
to the suns heat for as many hours
as possible. Let the sun fall on the
scalp. 1t is not necessary to expose
the entire scalp at one time. One
part may be shielded while another
is having its sun bath. Few people
are aware that by a skillful use OF
the comb severe straightness can be
remedied 1t is difficult to convey in
words correct idea of the necessary
motion of the hand. 1t resembles
that employed in whisking an egg
into a frothy state. The comb is
moved rapidly and very lightly, with
the result that the hair assumes O
fluffy condition. But this is merely
temporary.

Men who Shouldn't Marry.

NJ. Max O'Rell thinks, on the whole,
that the literary man and the art
ist ought not to marry. 81 have
come across hundreds of cases." he
says, "where artists and literary eff
forts have been checked, and some
times killed outright, by the petty
cares and worries of domestic life.
The brain worker is easily irked ana
tormented by the most trivial things.
He is irritable and most sensitive.
1 have known literary men to put
right off their work for days simply
because devoted women came into
their studies, and after giving them
an encouraging kiss, carried off their
pens to make out their washing list"

POULTRY HOUSE ON WHEELS.

and seven and one-half feet from sill
to gable. The door is six feet high
and two feet wide.
One window is shown, though two
on the same side would be better.
There is no necessity for window on
the opposite side, from the fact that
it is always possible to keep the same
side to the south; and in case the house
should be used in winter it would be
preferable to have no windows on the
north side. The house is sided with
matched stuff, without any inner cell
ing; the floor is single also, as it is
designed purely for warm weather
use though the owner has no trouble
in keeping Cochins in it during the
winter time. The roof is tarred paper
painted. On a small roof like this
tarred paper painted once year will
do very well. The rear wheels are
from IN old moving machine; the for
ward ones from a grain binder truck.
The rear axle is a heavy iron rod Sc
curely bolted to the bottom, while the
front axle is of wood.-Orange Judd

Proper Rations for Hens.

The proper feeding of birds has
much to do with their health. The ra-
tion of the fowls should always be a
balanced one. Fowls fed an unbal-
anced ration continually are certain to
become weak. If it is unbalanced on
the side of too much carbohydrates
they become soft and lazy and the
bones lack strength, as we'll as do the
muscles. If the food is overbalanced
on the side of too much nitrogenous
matter, various troubles follow, and in
such a condition the birds are said to
fall easy victims to rheumatism, which
in turn is made possible by too great
a supply of acid formed from the
nitrogenous food products. 1t pays a
man to study the ration question if
he wishes to avoid many troubles with
fowls.-Farmers' Review.

Keep "A Regular Account.

1t is impossible to know whether
you have made profit unless accounts
are kept. Charge the hens with all the
food allowed, and also interest on
capital invested. Credit them with all
the sales and for the produce used in
the family. The difference will be the
profit unless you wish to charge for
your labor, the value of which depends
upon how much it was worth to you at
the time. A large flock costs less for
labor, proportionately, than a smaller
one, but in families where small focks
are kept for pleasure as well as profit
the labor is not estimated.-Farm and
TEeside.

chickens to attend to and let the fam
lily buy their eggs and young frys of
her at the market price. Then let Ara
mintha handle her own money and buy
her own clothes"
Aramintha was delighted with the
arrangement and entered into the plan
with enthusiasm. AS she explained,
girl needs so many things it is a nui-
sance to have to bother her parents
about; so the chicken business started
with the unanimous consent of the
household.
One day Aramintha was found
mournfully staring at the parlor cur.
tains.
"They are shabby" agreed mother
"And we won't put up with them an
other season!" exclaimed Aramintha.
"We'll have new ones; I'll get them
myself out of the chicken money"
No one could object, so the new cur
tains were purchased.
This began it. A new hammock, new
covers for the "a cushions, new rugs
for the front step, an extra trip to
Chicago every bargain day, new
NdlHS tAlTd HOI-"ed
gowns, all were accounted for by the
chicken money. No extravaganza was
counted an extravaganza if the chick
en- money paid for it.
Had those brown leghorns laid eggs
of gold their purchasing power could
not have been greater than it was un-
der Aramintha's elastic touch; it be-
came so great that at last father called
for a statement.
"Those chickens of yours beat the
board of trade. I'm seriously thinking
of retiring and devoting all my time
and money to chickens, with you as
manager. How goes it, anyway"
Aramintha proceeded to get out her
books.
"You see, father" she explained,
sweetly and lucidly, "here it all is:
Started chicken business May l with 20
hens.
Each hen to set on 10 eggs makes 26o
chickens.
Two hundred and sixty chickens at 2s
cents apiece. s65.
Hens lay through summer, 1900 eggs.
Eggs sell at 20 cents a dozen (fresh ones
are higher, $50.
"You see that comes to about $500
by fall, and"
But, Aramintha, it is not Septem-
Der yet; the summer is just spring.
And what allowance have you made
for chicken feed and chickens that do
not hatch, and so on? Does your
chicken yard live up to these books ?"
"I-I haven't kept any account of
the chicken yard. 1 didn't see the use
of keeping two accounts" she an
swered, in an injured tone.
Now father declares there is no use
trying to pound business sense into a
girls head. If he had 12 daughters he
would give them an allowance, but he
would expect to be wrecked in year
if they were all in business Chicago

A GIRL IN BUSINESS.
She Spent All Her Prospective Profits
Long Before Actual Returns Be-
gan to Come In.

1t was agreed that Aramintha should
have the chicken money.
If they were going to live in the sub
urbs, father argued, they might as
well have the privileges of the coun-
try. What could be more healthful
than a nice, fresh, new-laid egg for
ones breakfast? Father fairly reveled
in the outlook.
Further" he said, discoursing on
the subject to his wife's relatives, II

to make it as well as spend it. If I

HENHOUSE ON WHEELS.
1t Can BE Moved from Field to Field,
and Is the Idea of N Practical
Farmer.

On the majority of farms where
grain is raised there is more or less
wasted each year that nothing but a
fowl will pick up. This often happens
in wheat fields. The hen house shown
In the illustration is designed to meet
the demand for movable house and
was gotten up by a practical poultry
raiser. The house is built as light as
the necessary strength will allow.
The length is 10 feet and little less
than six feet wide in the clear. The
height from the sill to caves is five fees
