OLD BELIEFS ABOUT HONEY
It Was Supposed to Be of Celestial Or
igin and Specific for
Human Ills.

Many quaint delusiOns prevailed in
olden times about everything relating to
the bee and honey. The source and COM
position of honey were subjects for many
ingenious speculatiOns.
Belief in the celestial origin of honey
runs through all the old treatises on
agriculture, from Virgil down. 1t was
supposed to be kind of mama from
Heaven, and it's quality depended greatly
on the favorable or unfavorable juxta-
position of the stars at the time of it's
descent.
The existence in each hive of one bee
much larger than all the others was
generally recognized, but it was believed
to be merely ruler or king over the rest.
That this large bee was actually the
queen of the whole colony never seemed
to have occurred to any one until recent
times.
The situation of the bee hive was in old
times a matter of Importance. 1t was
placed always on the south side of a
stream of water and never in a place
where there were echoes, as an echo was
held to be injurious to bees.
Honey appears to have been held in
extraordinary favor as a universal spe-
cific for human ills. 1t was largely rec
commended as a hair restorer
If dead bees were dried, pounded and
worked up into thick paste with the
hone, its hair producing capabilities
were much enhanced. For weak eyes il
was recommended to take handful Of
the heads of bees, burn them and mingle
with the honey gathered in the dog days
The eyes were anointed literally with
the mixture, and clearness of vision was
the supposed reward.

Their to contrast or harmonic with .he
stripe in the material.
The smart little coat is cut in that
semifitting square bolero shape which
is always so particularly becoming to
youthful figure. 1t is trimmed on Ell
Their side in front and also on the sleeves,
with large round rosettes of silk ribbon
to match the waist belt, but in narrow
er width. The full sleeves to the elbow
are cool and comfortable, and sufficient
ly wide to admit of wearing blouse
sleeve underneath. If necessary. The
coat sleeves are turned back with gaunt-
let cuffs of the same material, and fin
ished with double frills of soft cream
lawn, finely accordion plated. Under
the coat little vest of lawn with yoke
of embroidery may be seen, but of course
the coat could be worn over blouse If
preferred.
The hat to be worn with this pretty
frock is of soft white Manila straw,
with a fairly high crown, and wide,
shady brim. 1t is quite simply trimmed
with broad scarf of soft silk ribbon to
match the waist belt, draped round the
crown, caught up into big chou at the
side of the crown, and then finished with
ends which droop over the hair at the
back. This sketch might be carried out
very successfully also in any of those
delightful Harris linens, which can be
obtained this year in so many lovely
colors, and which always wash and wear
so wonderfully well. For those who
prefer something even more simple than
have already suggested, the same idea
might be expressed in holland, in crash
or in drill, with round medallion motifs
of embroidered lawn. or washing braid,
in place of the ribbon rosettes, and a
waist band made in the same material
as the frock itself.
In our other illustration may be seen
q most attractive trio of hats, which
should serve thoroughly to equip Made
moiselle with becoming head-gear for
all late summer occasions. The large
hat on the left side of the picture would
be suitable for a girl about IA or Is
years of age and is intended naturally
only for Sunday best. 1t is made in fine
white chip, in quite newest shape, with
a very high crown, and wide, shady
brim, just lightly wired underneath at
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1904-08-12

the extreme edge, so that 1t can be Denr
about in any shape to suit the face of the
wearer. Draped round the crown, and
tied in smart windmill bow on one
side, there is wide scarf of soft satin
ribbon which should be arranged, so far
as color goes, in some shade to match
the frock with which the hat will be
worn. White ribbon would perhaps be
safest, as the hat would then look we'll
with any frock. A long white ostrich
feather, dropping over on one side OF
the crown, gives a finishing touch to
this pretty hat.
The hat sketched at the top right
hand corner of the picture is intended
for a younger girl, say, about IL or IL
years of age. 1t should be made with
crown of plain white muslin and
wide brim, formed of a very full frill OF
embroidered muslin. Or it might be ar
ranged with a crown of ecru esprit net,
and a gathered frill of lace, in the same
shade of ecru. A band of ribbon, about
an inch and half wide, is folded round
the crown, and tied with long loops that
fall over the hair at the back. The
pretty hat shown in our remaining il
lustration is intended for rather an
older girl, and might be worn at the
seaside or on the river, or for any OF
those garden parties to which the young
girls of the family are sometimes in
vited, before they are actually out. This
hat is made in fine sun-burnt straw of
a soft and pliable kind, with wide
brim bound at the edge with very mar
row border of black velvet ribbon. The
crown is almost hidden under giant
rose which is made of very soft pale pink
satin ribbon, folded and wired into the
shape of the flower The pale green
leaves, which form quite mass of
foliage, surrounding the rose, are made
also of satin ribbon in the same way.
It is almost impossible, speaking gen.
orally, to improve upon the time-hon-
nred arrangement of coat, skirt and
washing blouse, for mademoiselle's
summer outfits. In light-in-weight
serges, either navy. electric blue, or
white, nothing can be heater or better
for young girl than REFER coat and a
short walking skirt, fairly full, but
made without any heavy plaits or tucks
to add to its weight and to inconvenience
the wearer, should she feel inclined to
undertake walking or even climbing ex-
petitions.
AS far as the blouses are concerned
to be worn with these coats and skirts,
there is simply an endless variety this
season from which to choose. Prettiest
of all perhaps among those which are
specially suitable for girls are the
blouses in white, Irish linen, worked
with hand embroideries in dainty floral
designs carried out entirely in soft
white thread. These blouses can be
bought quite cheaply, unmade, and with
pieces of the embroidery for the collar
and cuffs, as we'll as for the fronts of the
blouse. Once bought, they will prove
an excellent investment, as they will
wash and wear literally for years
Dainty blouses can be made too in floral
! muslins and in mercerized silks, as well

made for wear with their elaborate
afternoon and evening gowns, and the
fancy gains prestige instead of losing it.
The floating scarf effects in millinery
have already been referred to. The long
streamers of gauze or tulle are drawn
over the left shoulder and cleverly ma
nipulated, but the shoulder scarfs are
more pretentious and beautiful. Pos
sibly the loveliest are the wide straight
lengths of silk mousseline gauze or
chiffon, exquisitely hand-painted in
shadowy designs of blossom and inset
with cobwebby lace, while lace with
scalloped or irregular edge is appliqued
or inset as a fiat border.
Crepe de chine and the very soft light
silks and satins, which drape as grace
fully as chiffon, are also treated in this
way; and, in some cases, delicate hand
embroidery takes the place of the brush
work and weaves in and out among the
laces.
All lace scarfs are greatly liked, pro-
vided always that the lace is of beautiful
quality. The old-time favorite Spanish
lace makes perhaps the least expensive
of the really good lace scarfs, and while
a trifle heavy is effective. It's effective
ness is enhanced wonderfully by touch
ing it's design lightly with water color
shadings, and any woman clever with
her brush can treat creamy Spanish
lace scarf in this manner with most ar
tistic results.

Rev. V. G. Carroll, prominent

story: 1--WE were driving out one Sun

a negro with club in his hand and a

We stopped to examine his prize and
the colonel said:
"'My friend, do you know it is Sun

man, as he held the 'possum up with

And We'll away from the land of day
To the dreamland in the skies.

AS the purplng sun sinks down
And flashes its beams in golden streams
And silvery shafts, to the land of dreams,
That borders the Sand Mans town.
With your dear hands folded in mine,

We will travel to that land fair,
Where the rose-bloom smiles in the leafy

And the bird song fills the air.
The sleepship waits at the port, little

With its snowy pinions a-gleam,
And it's PROV points straight for the

With cinnamon drops of a crimson shade,
And curbings of layer cake.

And crimsons the peaceful bay,
The ships bell rings and the sand man

of love and longing and newborn
hope, it was maddening to work at

he finished numbers six and seven.

He worked No. and then rebelled,

GLOW did she look, Tom?" Carter
asked, eagerly, when the boy rejoined
him
"She blushed and smiled"
So Carter added to his sum of hope

Very soon they heard the caller de-
part and Claudia returned to the Ii
brary.

ing no denial. though the masculine love
of money getting, strong in the manu-

factor in the changes. But it seems,

the nature that called them into being,

their clothes, to adopt mental and moral
attitudes harmonizing with the frocks

THE SOLVING OF
4 PROBLEM
By Belle Maniates.

LIE HAD been on the very verge
ii of telling Claudia of his love
when it so transpired that he found
they were barely on speaking terms
The trouble had been of her seeking,
for really Carter Heath's only fault
had been that he wouldn't get angry.
but had let amusement display itself
about the corners of his eyes,
Claudia felt that her dignity could
only be maintained by entirely ignor-
ing his existence. After an interval of
three weeks, during which time all his
efforts towards effecting reconcilia-
ton had proven unavailing, he finally
realized that the affair was serious and
that Claudia did not care for him as
much as he had ventured to hope
One evening he betook himself in
evening dress and misery to the opera
for the sole purpose of gazing at her
from afar. His searching glance
saw her father and mother enter one
of the boxes and Immediately he made
his way thither.
"Will not Claudia be here to-night?"
he asked of Mrs. Lawrence after few
moments conversation.
Claudia is acting the part of Sis
ter of Mercy tonight" was the re-
Spouse. ''Tom was in the depths of
despair over to-morrow's arithmetic
lesson and Claudia volunteered to stay
at home and wrestle with the refrac-
tory problems for him. l left them
in the library-Tom full of hope and
gratitude, Claudia full of perplexity and
figures"
Immediately Carter made his adieu
and fastened to the Lawrence resi-
dence. He had been an informal caller
there for SO long that the maid upon
his request willingly ushered him I'M
announced into the library.
Two flushed, perturbed faces were
raised from slate and book as he en-
tered.
"Good evening, Claudia" he said
and his tone showed none of the levity
at which she had taken exception.
''Halloa, Tom! heard you and your
sister were revealing in mathematics
and 1 thought you might need rein
forcements."
you think me not capable of work
ing problems, them" asked Claudia
in distant tones.
Some problems" he replied, grave
ly. Nov, take sum in addition, say
or any kind where you wanted to ge

Tom was very shrewd-outside o

was all that prevented an audibl
smoker, but he contented himself b,
bestowing an appreciative wink upol
the newcomer.
