In June, 1902, James Popp, who lives
in the town of CASTLE, noticed honey
bees flying around his bedroom win
dow and crawling in between the clap.
boards. He gave little attention to
the matter at the time, but as the bees
continued to appear about the house
he determined on Sunday last to make
an investigation. Upon removing some
of the clapboards near the spot where
they seemed to congregate most fire.
quently, he found that between the
studding and the window frame there
was solid mass of honey, filling a
space eight inches in width and four
feet in length.
Encouraged by the find, Mr.. Popp
proceeded to take up his bedroom floor,
and found that the bees'had been bust
ly at work underneath depositing the
fruits of their labor. Carefully re:
moving the mass and weighing it. he
was pleased to find as the results Of his
discovery ninety-fve pounds of honey

The Crusnde in Brief.

Ihe United States drinks enough lioucr
each year to float all her battleships.
If ever hater OF the drink evil and
friends of temperance would give regularly
even a trlfie to the reform, the movement
would make rapid progress.
Through the great Washington:an move.
ment in Ohio 10000 took the pledge. In
Pennsylvania 10000; in Kentucky, so 900.
and multitudes in all parts Of the land.
If Christian business men would cease
to be so everlastingly timorou> III their
opposition to the saloon power The bright
day when the rumselers would be coWed
would dawn more speedily.
In the great battle against intemperance
and vice many Christians prefer toy pis-
tol to a krupp gun.
We license men to sell drink The drink
sold makes men drunk. The drunkard com.
mits murder. The murderer IS hanged.
Who is responsible?
To legalze the saloon is. moral robbery,
intellectual ruin. and spiritual suicide.
Does your vote help to legalize it? The
vote OF the American citizen is one. OF the
greatest moral levers, or one of the great
est crime forces in our civilization.
Alderman White, of Birmingham,
speaking at Cardiff, said: Il could give
you 100 cases, and 100 after that, and 100
after that, of men who have come under
my notice who have become trophies of
Divine grace through the simple at IF

A Word to the Bows.

What do you think, young friends, Of
the hundreds of thousands who are trying
to cheat themselves and others into the
belief that alcoholic drinks are good for
them? Are they to be pitied and not
blamed? Do you want to be one of those
wretched men? II we are to have drunk
ards in the future, some of them are to
come from the boys to whom I am writing;
and l ask you again if you want to be one
Of them? No, of course you don't! Well,
have plan for you that is just as sure
to save you from such fate as the sun
is to rise to-morrow morning. 1t never
worth knowing. Never touch liquor in
any form. That is the plan, and it is not
only worth knowing, but it is worth put
ting in practice.
l know you don't drink now, and it
seems to you as if you never would. But
your temptation will come, and will prob
ably come in this way: You will find your
self some time with a number OF COM
panions, and they will have a bottle Of
wine on the table They will drink and
Offer. it to you. They will regard it as a
manly practice, and very likely they will
look upon. you as q milksop if you don't
indulge with them. Then what will YOU
do? Eh, what will you do? Will you
say, mo, no! none Of that stuff for me!
know trick worth half dozen of that"
common sense protesting, and your con-
science. making the whole draught bitter,
and feeling that you have damaged your
self, and then 60 off with hot head and
skulking soul that at once begins to make
apologies for itself, and will keep doing so
all this life? Boys, do not become drunk
ards.-J. G. Holland.

Paris Likes Horse Meat.

Eating horse flesh by the poor in
Paris is increasing to such an extent
that the abattoirs will have to be en-
larged. The present consumption is
10000 horses year. The horse meat
is somewhat darker and stronger than
beef. but it is not unpalatable. 1t has
grown in popularity since the siege.
The flesh of the horse and the ass is
about half the price Of beef, but the
former is becoming dearer.
Used up horses that have worked
for eight or ten years in the city are
purchased for $50, put out to Craze
for few weeks and are then led to
the slaughter house. In some depart
ments. such as the Nord, there is
scarcity Of horses for farm work.-New

Naval DispIay at St. Louis.

The Navy Department has begun the

west Of the main southern entrance,
of warship of 1000 tons. Horace Z.
Boucher. naval architect from the Navy
Yard at Washington, is in charge OF

Enough of the ship is already in place

many other combinations might be
made, while material may be any

The waist is made over a smoothly

He" Well" Deserved 1t.

A little while ago the newly elected
Mayor of provincial town was about
to make his first journey in that capac-
ity through the place. The towns
people had arranged that from an arch
Of flowers, under which he was to
pass, a floral crown should hang, sur
mounted by the words, HE well de-
serves it," But the wind blew away
the crown, and when the pompous
Mayor passed under the arch, to the
great joy of those who had voted
against him, only rope with moose
at the end of it dangled there, with
HE well deserved it, standing out in
bold relief above-London T. A. L.

Snake Killed bv q Mouse

A remarkable instance of a snake
having been killed by q mouse is re-
corded by Mr.. F. r. Francis, Of VIM
bledon. He states that an ordinary
grass snake which he had in coniine-
ment was given a mouse for food. The
snake made several attempts to catch
the mouse, but in every case missed.
The next day the snake was found to
be dead, and there was evidence that
1t had been attacked and killed by the
mouse, which was alive, and had eaten
part Of the snakes body. The skill
Of the mongoose in tackling the cobra
is well known. but we fancy a case
Of this kind, which could, Of course,
only occur with captive .ophidian,
must be rare.-LOndon Telegraph.

md serves to outline the yoke. Be-
meath the bertha the waist is full and
soft. The sleeves are the new ones
that are shirred to fit the upper arms
spurly and form full puffs below the
elbows, then are gathered into deep
gauntlet cuffs.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is FIVE and one
quarter yards twenty-one inches wide,
four yards twenty-seven inches wide,
of two and five-eighth yards forty-four
inches wide, with one yard of velvet
and one-quarter yards of applique to

Lady Dolls Walking Costume.

The up-to-date doll is as carefully
dressed as is her little owner and must
have proper equipment for the various
occasions of daily life. This very sty-
lish costume includes one of the lat
est shirt waist gowns, with long tail
ored coat and 1aring hat. AS Illus
trated, the coat and skirt are made OF
dark blue Sicilian mohair and the shirt
waist and hat of taffeta, but the waist
and skirt can be of one material and
the coat of another if preferred and
various changes can be made. In the
case of the model the hat is trimmed
with fur and pompom, but fancy
braid or ruching Of any sort can be
made to take its place. So long as the
style of the garments is retained the
little mother will be quite sure to be
content.
The shirt waist Is tucked at the front
to yoke depth with a wide box pleated

effect at the centre, but includes a
plain back. Its sleeves are full ano
are tucked above the elbows in con-
formity with the latest style. The skirt
is circular and is laid in backward
turning pleats, which are stitched nat
with corticelli silk to flounce depth,
below which point they fall to produce
the fashionable fare. The coat is the
accepted one of the season, is plain
and severe in cut, but includes the full
sleeves that can be drawn over those
of the shirt waist without difficulty.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is for skirt and
coat, seven-eighth yards twenty-sev-
en-, or three-Quarter yards forty-four
inches wide; for waist. three-eighth
yards twenty-one. or "Ie-half yard
