WATER FOR THE BEES.
Will See That IL IL Always
within Their Reach.

1t seems little out Of season to
talk about watering your bees, If, as
in a good many localities, they are
snugly housed in the cellar at the
present moment. However, il is well
to anticipate their wants. Indeed,
there may not be any anticipation in
the case where the bees are wintered
out of doors. just as soon as there
comes a day warm enough for them
to fly, one of the first things they
will do is to start in search of water,
says a writer in the Bee Journal.
Bees are hard drinkers, and il is a
matter of some Importance that they
have easy access to plenty of pure
water without being obliged to fly
some distance to secure it. Especial
ly Is this true in teh early spring,
when cold winds and sudden changes
in temperature work such havoc with
our bees. Water they must have,
and If they do not have it supplied
near home they must seek it else
where. More bees are lost in spring
by flying some distance, becoming
chilled, and never getting back to
their hive, than some bee-keepers are
aware of. We don't want anything
that will induce them to take long
fights, much less anything that will
oblige them to. Bees are largely
creatures of habit, and when once
they have established a drinking
place ii Is not SO easy to change
them from it. And one of their ia
vorite selections is the watering
tank, causing much annoyance to
stock, and to the people taking care
of our stock as well. 1t is also a
great nuisance to have them around
the well or cistern pump. Especially
is this the case If there are small
children in the family.
All this bother may be avoided IL
we select their drinking place for
them, and get them started in the
right place before they have learned
to go anywhere else. This is not diff
cult to do. A large jar filed with
water, with number of pieces Of
wood put into it, for the bees to
alight upon Gf they are somewhat
rotten all the better), is all that is
needed to make good watering
place. If this jar is kept supplied
with water, after the bees once get
started there will be no more
trouble about their bothering you
anywhere else. 1t is good plan to
put little salt into it once in awhile.
Then it will not be breeding place
for mosquitoes, and the bees seem
to like it better when it is little
salty.-Bee Journal.

DAME FASHIONS DICTATES.
Items of Feminine Apparel That Are
Now Attracting General
Attention.

The lace collar will be almost ubiquit-
Gus on spring gowns and smart ones in
ecrue and cream lace of heavy patterns
make lace departments attractive.
Blouse sleeves in silks, muslins and
other such fine fabrics are either sim
ply gauged at the top, tucked by hand,
or, more effective still, inserted with
silk veining, sometimes in contrast
ing shade. This is a pretty fashion and
one that appeals to the clever worker.
1t is curious to note with what en-
thusiasm we have returned to the re-
vival of Irish crochet lace, the prefer
ence being for ecru tones rather than
dead white. For mixing with cloth,
coarse linen and indeed velvet and sat
ms there is nothing more effective than
this heavy make Of lace.
The keynote of the best fashions, in
spite of the intricacies of beautiful
hand-work and glorious colors and
material, is simplicity-costly simple
ity, If you like, but still simplicity.
Great discretion is shown in the matter
of trimmings. The worst of trim
ings is that once they are used the un-
initiated are apt to overdo them.
The chief difficulty in making pele-
rine is the fitting on the shoulders and
the amateur must guard against max
ing the woman with an already too
sloping shoulder look ridiculous. Our
heavy, three-quarter wraps were cut
to accentuate the sloping shoulder and
the addition of the collar or overcape
was distinct improvement.
Pretty wells are shown in such shades
as blue, brown, black, and green, with
the dot in the same color, and the dot
may be either chenille, velvet or en-
broidered in silk threads. For those
whopreferth the less snowy wells there are
handsome dotted ones in variety of
styles. These come heavily dotted with
velvet or chenille, those having the
spot of velvet being especially new.

elaborate. In soft materials the big

GREAT PROGRESS MADE.
Rural Free Delivery Service, Or
gnnixed Ten Years Ago, Vow
Employs $4,000 Men.

The fact that the farmers in ter
ritory representing 100000 square
miles of the United States have their
mail delivered and collected by gov
eminent carriers indicates not only
the remarkable development of what
is termed rural free delivery, but
its broad and deep significance to
the country at large. When it is re-
membered that this area comprises
nearly one-third of the territory at
present devoted to agriculture, and
that the beginning of the present
service dates back as recently as
1896, more intelligent conception
can be gained of its expansion. Yet
the permanent organization of this
department of the post Office was
not affected until July 1. 1902, when
its necessity was emphasized by re-
ports which showed that S,466 routes
were in operation, an increase of
4,165 in one year, while on June 30,
1900, but 1,276 routes were being
served, requiring an appropriation
for expenses of $45O,OOO, which in
1901 was raised to $3,993,74O. Since
the date of the permanent establish
ment. however, the force of carriers
has been increased, until at present
it constitutes an army of about 49,
600, who daily travel over nearly
100000 miles of highway for the ben
eft of population of about 7,O0O,-

OUR SPOILED CHILDREN.
PettinE and Coddling Of Girls UNITS
Them for the Duties of

The girls of to-day have been pet
ted and made much of from their
cradles. Everything has been done
to make the hard places easy and
the rough places smooth. There is a
grading and leveling in the schools
nowadays in order that children may
learn without their knowing il. A
sort of 'ignorance-e1tracted -withoat-
pain system" it is, from kindergar-
ten to college, says Woman's Home
Companion. At home, If not at
school, American children are regu-
larly and unblushingly spoiled; and

injury to the childish life often wear
off with boys as soon as they go out

girls the tonic of mingling in the af-
fairs of life and work. without fiat
terry or favor of any kind, is usually
denied. With girls the petting and
coddling continues long after woman

as do the sons. These spoiled chill

and tenderly If they are to be really
successful home-makers. The ability

often have, and can always get IL
they see their need of it, even IL the
illumination comes after marriage.
1t is the disciplined nature which will
be most needed; the habit of doing
distasteful things, and doing them
cheerfully and continually; the pow
err to give up cherished plans; to de-
wise ways of helpfulness about things
of small interest in themselves, and
the regular practice of forgetful-
ness of self and remembrance of 9TH
ers in the recurring trifies of daily

from a friendship letter written

POULTRY YARD POINTERS.

Barrels on their side are not ideal
coops for young chicks.
Eggs cannot be produced without nj
trogenous material in some shape.
Eggs from over-fat hens, IL they
hatch at all, are apt to produce weak
lings.
Many a farmer would do better IL
he plowed less acres and raised more
chickens.
Coops without bottoms moved daily
make healthful places in which to raise
young chicks.
To keep disease away from the fowls,
keep every thing perfectly clean where
they are kept.
Keep the outside doors and windows
of the poultry house closed during a
rain or snowstorm.
Feather pulling Is often the result
of confinement in idleness. Give the
hens something to do.
Playful dogs in the hen yard do not
add to the comfort or peace of the
hens. Keep the dogs out.
Hens with frozen combs will not
produce eggs till the sores are healed
do not expect them to.
Bowel trouble that carries off
many chicks when one or two weeks
old may be often corrected by taxi
ing away their drinking water and
giving scalded milk instead.-Com-

of mucus is the same as the loss of
blood. 1t produces weakness.
Peruna stops the catarrh and prevents
the discharge of mucus. This is why
Peruna Is called tonic. Peruna does
not give strength by stimulating the
nervous system little. 81
1t gives strength by preserving the
mucous membranes against leakage.
1t gives strength by converting the
blood fluids and preventing their drain

Constant splitting, and blowing the
