WOMAN BEE FARMER
New, York Stenographer Takes Up
49, a New Occupation. x
SHE ALSO RAISES PEKIN DUCKS
Bees, She Thinks, Are the Most Prof
liable Live Stock One
Can Raise.

In northern New York is the smallest live
farmer. The proprietor is woman, who was
a successful New York stenographer until
compelled by typewriters' paralysis to seek
another occupation.
:; Her stock farm is less than four acres in
extent Her specialties are Pekin ducks and
bees. The former she sells to a hotel, while
the honey is shipped through the east. In
speaking of the bees she said:
The average farmer thinks bees pretty small
fry, but I have found them just about the most
profitable live stock one raise. Not Ion g
ago from seventy hives I gathered a ton and
a half Of honey in four days, worth at a low
figure more than $500. This was only part of
my crop for the season, and / have since
gathered several tons more of the finest light
honey, not to mention the yield from the
buckwheat CROP
1.-The bad weather of last July was bonan-
"a for bee farmers. 1t was ideal weather for
fowens and not only kept the bees working
long hours but also gave exquisite flavor to
the honey. The ripest fruits are the sweetest,
and so are the ripest blooms.
''My man Pete and worked from morn
ing till night doing nothing but remove the
honey from the hives, and carrying new
frames for the bees to fill. BY the time we
had reached the back Of the yard the frames
we had enlptied at the front were full again.

A SMALL DRESS ALLOWANCE
Do Not Fritter Away Money on Pass
ing Fads.

1t is difficult to dress we'll on a small al
lowance, and there is terrible temptation
to fritter away ones money in the passing
fads of the hour. These fallals. which look
attractive when through a glass win
dow, usurp much Of a girls allowance, and
consequently debar her from buying a real
ly good frock, which is, after all, the truest
economy.
1t is mistake also for young girl to
ape her well-to-do married acquaintances by
having their extravagant garments copied in
imitation
Laces you may indulge in to advantage for
excellent patterns are obtainable nowadays
at quite moderate prices.
Avoid buying odd remnants here and there
unless, indeed, you buy with purpose. Do
not imagine that queer bits of color and
artificial flowers will smarter a last sea-.
sons frock. On the contrary, they will
ruin it.
The dress Of to-day is extremely perp1ex-
ing, and the woman who wishes to pass as
being even moderately we'll dressed must give
much care to the spending Of her money.
Every detail must be closely studied. Those
who have not the means to patronze the su-

Overstocking my range Two years ago
man in Vermont had 500 hives which he ran
for comb honey to supply large restaurant
in Boston. He got bad season and not
only had no honey to sell, but he had to buy
ton Of sugar to feed his bees during the
winter months. -.
."They don't thrive on sugar, either. 1t

neither does it pay to try substitutes for honey

''Some people have tried taking all their
honey to sell when the market was good and
then feeding glucose at two cents a pound
during the winter In very short while all
their bees were dead. Even the best refined
glucose contains a trace Of sulphuric acid,
which is rank poison.
1.-The bees of course travel a good deal
further than the limits Of my little farm to
set their sweets. In fact they make very
little honey from the place ITSELF The three
chief crops I count on are the Eastwood, cloy-

This honey is really valuable for medicinal
purposes, having the properties of several

last summer I counted twenty EIGHT varieties

II supply the market with extracted honey

CLEAN CUFFS AND COLLARS.

1t is difficult when travelling for both men
and women to keep their collars and cuffs
clean, as one cannot take an unlimited supply
Of clothes, and it is often difficult to get
things washed unless remaining at a place
for several days. If the following plan is
carried out, collars and cuffs can be kept
clean and fresh looking for day or two
Directly they begin to look soiled take the
corner of a towel, dip it in cold water, squeeze
it we'll and rub the collar or cuffs quickly
and hard with it, being careful not to make
them too wet, then rub them with dry part
of the towel. After this they will look quite
fresh and clean again, without losing any Of
the stiffness.

APPRECIATED BY ENGLAND
Gertrude Atherton Considered the
AbleSt "Oman FictiOn VVritor

When DR.. Nicoll, the eminent English
critic, sad Gertrude Atherton is the sblest
woman writer of fiction now living" he mere
~ voiced the sentiments of some Of the best
students of literature in England. Shortly
before his death, Harold Frederic declared her
to be the only woman in contemporary ltera-
ture who knew how to write "a novel, and that
her future work would be her best. England
really discovered Mrs. Atherton-recognized
her originality, power intensity, vividness
and vitality and generously expressed it's
judgment in unmistakable terms, long before
her fellow -countrymen realized her genius.
Mrs. Atherton is thoroughly American, and
her writings express the strength, nervous
energy, virility, vigor, freshness and daring
that the basic elements of America S
greatness as world power. She was born in
San Francisco the niece in the third genera
tion Of Benjamin Franklin, and received her
early education in California and Kentucky.
Her best training came from her thorough
study of the books in her grandfather's litra-
ry, q collection of the masterpieces of English
literature, with no American fiction whatever.
II had not even read The Scarlet Letter. -
she SAYS. until some time after my mar
riage."
In 1888 Mrs. Atherton's first book appeared.
It was called What Dreams May Come, "
and was crude in style and phrase, exuberant.
unnatural and stilted: yet despite all its
faults, it revealed the germ of inherent
strength, vivid imagination, clever descrip-
tion, brilliancy in color, and the dramatic in
stinct that have since become melowed and
perfected.
In The Conuueror." her latest and best
book Alexander Hamilton moves through the
pages as a real man, vital with human
strength and weakness-a man of contradic-
tions, whose battling personality would make
him misunderstood even by those who knew
him best
In personal appearance. Mrs. Atherton is
tall, graceful and essentially feminine, with
blue eyes and golden hair. She is quick,
clever and brilliant in conversation, and gives
one the impression Of speaking her thoughts
just las they come, without editing them OF

| tiOnality.

A THOUGHTFUL MILIGNER,

A Denver miliner has a soft spot in her
heart for horses. On a recent trip to New
York she had made a note of the horses hats,
which had not yet penetrated beyond the
Mississippi. LAS "a result she took home 500
hats for horses, and when the first hot day
struck Denver, she advertised that she would
give them away to the first corners. AS a.
consequence, equine millinery has reached
Denver, and the western horse is probably
prepared to rise up and call that particular
millner blessed. '..= - Il g. .@ . . .-. q"

How to Buy Carriages.

The retail profits on carriages range
from thirty to seventy per cent on man.
ufactnrers prices, according to circum-
stances. The cost of carriage when it
comes from the hands of the makers is
an entirely different thing.
The Columbus Carriage and Harness
Co, realizing this condition have adopt
ed the plan of dealing direct with car
riage buyers and eliminating the mid
dleman altogether. They sell to the
customer at the same rate they formerly
sold to dealers. thereby saving him the
intermediate profits. and i'll addition
gives him wider range of selection.
Since the adoption of this policy by
the Columbus Carriage Company, the
business has increased rapidly and they
are now the undoubted leaders of their
class in the country Buggies, phaetons.
surreys. etc, bearing their name are
known from one end of the United
States TO the other, and have reputa
ton for quality surpassed by no other
house in the world.
One of the distinguishing features of
the relations between the Columbus
Carriage Co, is the liberal manner in
which the company deals with their
customers. Each carriage is sent to the
customer with the definite understand
ing that if it is not i'll every way salts
factory. il can be returned 70 the factory
and the purchase money will be returned
and no freight charges made either way.
This company also supplies harness.
robes. and other horse accessories at
wholesale prices. and on the same terms
as the carriage sales are made-they
can be returned at the makers expense
if not entirely satisfactory.
Any one interested in the carriage
question will find it to his advantage to
write for a catalogue and study its
prices. The money that can be saved
it this way is considerable, and should
not he overlooked when a purchase of
this kind is contemplated. Address

PALATKA. FLORIDA. February 22d 1902
Edifors II The Ncssenger:-I have just
received clipping taken from the Bal
timore 81" which / understand was
sent to that paper by its Snow Hill cor.
respondent. This clipping gives short
account of the blunder made by Gov.
Jennings of Fla The first we knew of
il was on the 25th of December. 1901, in
the jacksonville Times I'niOn and Citizen
the largest and most largely circulated
paper of the state of Fla. 1t stated that
Governor Jennings did on the 24th of
December sign the death warran: of
Noah j Tilghman convicted of murder
in the first degree at the fall term of
the Circuit Court of Putnam County.
Fla, and that he was TO be hanged ON
Friday. the 24th of January. 1902. Now
as to the blunder of the Governor we
have not so far been informed whether
he was drunk or otherwise unfit for the
performance of his duties, but it was
near about Christmas times. Although
the Governor has been appealed to by a
number of my friends for an explana.
ton of his blunder and to offer me an
apology for the same. so far he has
treated the whole matter with indiffer.
ence. So far as l am concerned do
not know that the thing has hurt me,
but to receive paper clippings and meet
large numbers of people who barely
know my face saying how is this that
you are to be hung. Such things may
not amount to row of pins but the an
noyance has tendancy to wear man 5
patience thread-bare
Well was foreman of the grand jury
that found true bill against Jim B.
Brown, a negro desperate. not as some
of the clippings have it negro local
preacher. Why the Governor offers no
excuse for his error is a MYSTERY.
