Mr.. John G. Carlisle tells of the ease
OF a young mar in Kentucky taken be-

charge OF disturbing a religious meet

a kindly old gentleman. but ignorant Of
many of the nicer points of law.
II appears that when the evidence
was all in the defendant was question
ed by the magistrate whether he (the
accused) had any reason to give why
judgment should not be pronounced"
against him. The culprit had little to
say beyond expressing his penitence
and adding that he would never repeat
the ohense. The magistrate, however.
was firm. n proceeded to the task of
imposing sentence. Before doing so
he inludged in a long and moving ad-
dress. Among other things he said:

Bees Had Ideas of Their Own.

The New England Homestead has
an amusing story about a neighbor
who has for a number of years past
derived satisfactory revenue from
the industry OF his bees. His farm is
a village lot so by 200 feet. in shell
tered corner OF which he keeps a few
colonies of bees. With the numerous
families he has always lived in the
most of perfect harmony of purpose,
and each individual seems to know
and respect him, however warlike they
may appear to strange faces. When
all the boxes were filled this season
they were replaced by others as is
the usual custom. This operation did
not commend itself to the bees, as it
taxed their proverbial industry to too
great an extent in a season OF few
flowers like the past. Seemingly, a
COUNSEL was held and the question Of
winters supply of food duly consid-
cred and soon carried into effect
Some wise bee found a small hole in
the attic, where 100 or more pounds
of honey was stored. At once all the
forces of the colonies were summoned,
and with determination that knows
no failure they transferred every par
ticle of honey from the garnet to the
new boxes on the hives.

GERMANS TAKE TO SODA WATER.
Beer That Is Destitute of Alcohol OBJ
ject of Experiment Abroad.

A general movement for the sup

drink in Germany. as well as in ad-
Joining Austria and Switzerland, has
been among the recognized symptoms
If social reform in these countries

United States Consul Hugo Meunch
at Plauen, Germany. This has been
done by campaign of literature and
more direct and practical ways.
Canteens for the dispensation or
nonalcoholic drinks in the army
and navy were tried by way on expert
ment, and, lastly, practical direction
is to be given to all this theorizinc by
earnest efforts toward the production
of palatable nonalcoholie drinks for
the masses.
The first step IN that direction con-
sists in practically initiating the
American carbonated, or aerated
waters, seasoned with fruit extracts,
which have become measurably popu-
lar, especially during The brief sum-
mer months.
The conceded decrease of beer CON.
sumption in Germany within the last
several years is Justly attributed to
these endeevors quite as much as the
prevailing depression in industries.
Especially has such diminution been
noticed in the larger cities of middle
and northern Germany.

So far as these experiments were aim

rse of wort and aerated water. they
have proved fiat failures. owing to the
resultant unpalatable taste.
At present however, a plan is seri-
ously urged which promises seeming
sTccess-namely, to extract the arco-
hol from finished beer by means of
distillation, thus leaving as a residue
beverage which retains the taste
and nourishing qualities of beef itself
and which can by carbonating be cas-

SHORT CROP OF GOOD STORIES.

Robert Bridges in Golfers Weekly
Complaint crops out in various quar-
ters as to the prevailing quality of the
short story. There never were so
masy of them published in a month,
and the old hands at story-reading are
prone to say that never were they all
of such a dead level of mediocrity.
This is not entirely true, for it leaves
out of account the readers own bias
in that judgment. Certain writer's of
short stories have set the standard
very high, and the reader, surfeited
with the crop Of periodical fiction. is
apt to resent anything that does not
reach the remembered quality of Kip

HEALTH IN HATLESSNESS.
. The Sun on the Hair Kills Microbes
Ventilation Cures Catarrh.

From on article which appeared IN
Cosmos and translated for the Liter
airy Digest we learn that the new fash
ion of going without hat is not limi-
ted IN this country. According to the
writer, it has everything hygienically
in its favor, and the arguments against
it need only be stated to be refutcd.
He says
THE mass of hair that covers the
top of the head is feature of the hui
man race in both sexes and appears to
! be one of its most stable physical char.
/ acteristics. Nevertheless, long obs r.
walton is unnecessary to prove that
this Characteristic is weakening ana
that the vigor Of the hair Is decreasing
in man. Now question presents ii
self. Is this due to transformation
of the species or must we attribute the
fact TO mans habits? This second so
luton seems to be correct, which Is
conso!ing, since it allows to hope that
the evil may be checked. This loss of
hair that has become more striking
from one generation to another by
heredity is due, according to some
scientists, to the habit of covering the
head
This habit must affect the hair in.
jurlously in three ways: (1)By de-
priving 1t of the life-giving light of the
sun, Of free ventilation and of the
movement of the hairs by air currents;
~ by pressure on the small arteries
of the scalp, which bring nourishment
to the hair; (3)finally, because all
head coverings are an excellent culture
medium for microbes and facilitate
their development.
The promoters of this reform are
meeting at the outset with certain OBJ
jections: OTTO uncover the head
may bring on colds, neuralgia and
rheumatism. They answer that colds,
catarrh, &c, are CT microbian origin
and cannot come from the scalp. ~
As for neuralgia and rheumatism, they
are convinced that if the habit OF leay-
ing the head uncovered is adopted in
youth these troubles will not follow.
In fact, they say the uncovered paris
OF tho head are not subject to them
any more than the covered part--less
perhaps. 60 So far as the incontest-
able danger of exposing the bare heao
in the sun is concerned there are
many ways Of avoiding this without
smothering the scalp. (DThe fear
that septic bodies may be deposited On
the uncovered parts, especially in
cities, certainly deserves considera-
ton. out care in the toilet will enable
us to escape the consequences. (5)
Finally, the fear lest the hair should
be injured by sun. wind or cold has no
serious basis, since unprotected parts
of the head are covered with vigorous
hair"

And now the complaint is that all

A swine grower who has been trying
really they should not be pastured on
it till the third season after sowing, as
it requires three seasons, he says, for
the plant to get well established and
if the swine are turned an to it before,
it is likely to become seriously injured.
The best results in pasturing swine
on alfalfa come from the growing ami
mails and when the alfalfa pasture is
used for growing hogs it is estimated
that the grain ration may be cut one
half at least. There is the further ad-
vantage in pasturing that the hogs do
not require so much care as when in
confinement or on range of limited
area and this is quite an item in the
expense of raising swine.
If strawberry patch has not been
kept very clean of white clover and
other weeds, especially on our heavier
soils, it seldom pays to attempt to
clean them up or renew the bed. The
best that can be done with it is to
NOW and rake off the tops after fruit
ing season and start a new bed the fol-
lowing spring. Old beds, if kept rea-
sonably clean and not allowed to be-
come too thickly matted with plants,
will often prove very productive for
three or more years. Many varieties
even do better in two-year beds than
in new ones, and an old bed usually
ripens its fruit few days in advance
of the new one.
