Wears a Queens Crown

When Jay Gould as young man was
wandering about the country trying to
sell books, the queen of Spain was
wearing as her crown the valuable DOS
session which now often graces the
head of the book canvasser's daughte-.
When Queen Isabella was exiled, she
carried with her most of her Jewels. One
of these was crown set with some of
the finest diamonds, emeralds, rubies
and sapphires in the world. A few
years ago Spanish grandee, known as
Prince del Drago, came to America
His sole fortune consisted of the eor-
geous crown which had belonged to his
grand-aunt. The imperial bauble was
offered for sale, and was eventually
bought by the Goulds for -}125, 900. It
Is now worn by Countess Castellane.-

NOW A SCHOOL FOR BRIDES
New Kind of Educational Institution
That Is Flourishing in
Philadelphia.

Earlier generations acquired by prac-
tice many of the arts now learned in
special schools. Farming, cooking, sew
ing, and various trades will come read
lily to mind as illustrations; but the
newest of all arts to come under the
modern order of things is the art of
being bride, says Youths Companion.
A school for brides is now -four
ishing in Philadelphia. 1t ought really
to be called school for wives, for the
benefits it confers are permanent. More
over, brides seldom need to be taught
how to make home happy. They accom-
plish it by virtue of being brides. It
is only when the novelty wears off, when
the newly-married couple begin to awak-
en- from their dream, that the reserves
of knowledge and tact and sterling
character must be brought to the front.
Then it is that the clear coffee and
the faky pie-crust work their subtle
fascination, and the ability to use money
wisely inspires respect. To entertain
simply but Hospitality, to keep to her
self the little household trials, and to
look with tolerant eye on the groom s
occasional visit to the club or on his
renewal of premarital friendships
these are among the other accomplish
ments of an ideal wife which are taught
in the new school,. The earnest desire
of women to make real homes for their
husbands is attested by the fact that
% present or prospective brides are al
ready enrolled as pupils.
To most persons news of this venture
will come with the shock of surprise
and to many the school may seem alb
surd. It ought rather to be regarded as
most natural What is really surpris-
ing is he fact that whereas all the spe-
cial occupations of life are taught in
special schools, training for the most
general and by far the most important
has been left to chance-that is, unless
the home should be called a training
school.
The school for brides supplies real
need, but it ought not to exist alone 4
school for bridegrooms is just as neces-
sary-unless the present institution be
made coeductaional. Young men know
as little about the responsibilities OF
married life as young women, and usu-
ally they need the instruction more

CREES ON A BEAR HUNT,
Indians Of the Far North Make Elah.
crate Preparations for Cap
turing Bruin.

The Wood Crees of the far north have
a great respect for their little brother"
makwa, the bear, and the braves array
themselves for bear hunt in their
finest dress of ceremony. In "Silent
Places Mr.. Stewart Edward White de-
scr1bes an attack on a bear by a party
OF Indians, as witnessed by two woods
men.
DICK and Sam perceived a sudden ex-
citement in the leading canoes. Hauke-
nah stopped, then cautiously backed
until we'll behind the screen of the
point.
It's a bear said Sam, quietly.
They've gone to get their war-paint on. >
I'm short time the Indian canoes re-
appeared. The Indians had intercepted
their women, unpacked their baggage
and arrayed themselves in buckskin,
deliberately embroidered with beads and
silks in the flower pattern. Ornaments
Of brass and silver, sacred skins of the
beaver, broad dashes of ocher and YER
million on the naked skin, twisted
steamers of colored wool all added to
the barbaric gorgeousness.
"Phantom-like, without apparently
the slightest directing motion, the bows
OF the canoes swung like wind-vanes to
point toward little heap of drift logs
under the shadow Of an elder bush.
The bear was wallowing in the cool
wet sand.
"Now old Haukemah rose to his height
IN the bow of his canoe, and began to
speak rapidly in low voice. in the soft
Cree tongue

said, we come to you not in anger, nor
IN disrespect.. We come to do Won a
kindness. Here are hunger and cold and
enemies. In the Afterland Is only hap

lets the bear went down. but was i'm
mediately afoot again He was badly
wounded and thoroughly enraged. Be-
fore the astonished Indians could back
water, he had dashed into the shadows
and planted his paws on the bow of old
Haukemah's canoe.
Haukemah stood valiantly to the de-
Tense, but was promptly upset and
bounced upon by the enraged animal
DICK Heron rose suddenly to his feet
and shot. The bear collapsed into the
muddied water.
"Haukemah and his steersman rose
dripping. The Indians gathered to ex-
! anime in respectful admiration. Dicks

.Taxidermy Supersedad.

The old art Of taxidermy has been su-
perseded in the American Museum of
Natural History by the new method of
modelling the bodies of animals In
clay and fitting the skin over the model.
This method is regarded as revolution
airy in it's effect on the exhibition of
animal life in museums. The CLAW
models are made as carefully in all
their details as are the products of q
sculptor's studio, and the artist, DEPART
Ing from the conventional ways of the
taxidermist, is able to 1mpart to the
reconstructed animal such forms and
attitudes as best represent it's natural
characteristics.-Youth's Communion.

heart, a little Of the old first love.
Martin was no different from other
men. He had lived the sweet illusion
with Angie as its star: then the great
c1ty-the fight for a livelihood, then
competence, and all the selfish Gym
icism instil1ed by contact with grasping
greed, had leveled the beauteous air
castles and left Angie and all those
fond and foolish ways mere incidents of
the long ago.
Beyond that, he had escaped any
more mature and dangerous entangle-
ment, had grown sceptical of all things,
and was a free-hearted, all-around
good fellow, yet conscious of success;
and the only soft spot in his nature
was love for wood life. He had met
DR.. ''Sol" Finch, an old schoolmate,
by chance in the city, and under the
spur Of this sportsman's instinct and
desire to share its keen pleasures, had
invited his boyhood friend to join in
them.
And now the doctor was fast asleep,
while Martin, lying on bed of FIR
twigs, with the dying fire family glow
ing in front of the tent, the low ripple
of the nearby lake murmuring along
the sandy shore, was once more listen
ing to the old songs of Sabbath-school
days, sung by his boyhood sweetheart,
and living over those dreams of young
love.
For a long hour, so keen was the
spell, he wandered about that distant
village, in fancy, and dwelt among by
cones, and then suddenly he became
conscious that some creature was
stealthily crawling through the thick
underground back of the tent. Only

FEEDING THE BEES.
The Precautions Which Must Be
Taken in the Fall to Secure
Strong Colonies.

When an apiarist finds, in the fall,
that his colonies have a scarcity OF
stores, he must feed bountifully. In the
spring, if he finds short stores, he must
feed also, with sugar sirup Even q
colony which has enough honey to tide
it over till honey flow is stimulated by
treat now and then of the warm strip,
writes Ellen Brainerd, in the New Eng
land Homestead. Before it is possible
for the bees to gather pollen, it is well
to place some rye floa'r where they can
get it. 1t employs them and in a meas
ure takes the place of pollen. In pre-
pairing food for the bees, use white
graduated sugar or coffee A sugar, and
II possible it is best to mix with honey
and water
Equal proportions of water and sugar
just brought to boil makes a strip Of
good consistency, but many apiarists
prefer the sugar thoroughly dissolved
in the hot water. 1t is wrong TO use any
inferior grade of sweets or 10 use mo-
lasses in feeding the bees J.: would be
especially unwise in the fa:i, when the
oees were storing up for the winter, aa
such feed would produce diar-nea.
There are number OF methods OF
FEEDING bees and many con1rivances
have been invented to facilitate feeding
and also to supply the strip in such a.
way as not to attract nor feed robber
| oees good and inexpensive feeder is
| the little simplicity trough {. eder. ANY,
| one who is mechanical can easily make
a trough feeder. Fill the 1cough, which

WHERE JOKES ARE ALTERED
Jests Rewritten and Doctored by Joke
smith Who Brings Them
Vp-tO-Date.

In the desk of any jokesmith are
many unused jests, writes a coke
smith," in Booklovers Magazine.
\These derelicts are not valueless.
Some of them are still available with
out rewriting. Merely trimming the
edges with scissors and stamping my
name and latest address on them in q
new spot will make them look like
jokes, and some editor will then buy
them. Others will have to be rewrit-
ten and brought up to date before
can hire them out to editors who need
their services.
For instance, I find, on examining a
bundle which is marked "War," that
the jokes included therein refer to the
Spanlsh-American argument. Those
jokes were written during the excit-
Ing summer of 1898, away back in the
last century. They failed to find a
market at that time, but they may go
now II Russia" or Japan" is insert
ed in place Of Spain" One joke re-
fers to man who refused to enlist
because he was under bonds to keep
the peace. Now, that seemed funny to
me when wrote it: it seems funny
now. But I would not sell it six
years ago. hope for better luck be-
fore the mikado and the car smoke a
cigarette together.
Here is another. One man begins,
SPANS fleet'-but before he says
more the other declares: "Spain has
no fleet" The first makes the state
ment again: "Spain's feet"-and is
again interrupted. After several such
interruptions the first man completes
his sentence as follows: "Spain's fleet
OF foot" Recent incidents in the wa
ters of the far east, taken with other
Incidents on land, indicate that this
joke can soon be started on it's rounds
again, with Russia" inserted in place
Of Spain"
Nearly all of my bicycle jokes,
quite popular in the middle nineties
have been changed into automobile
jokes. and in new form many OF
them saw themselves in print Those
that do not find such haven will be
kept, and perhaps within a few years
they will be available as flying-ma-
chine jests.
Here is a bundle of Klondike Jokes
Some OF them can be twisted into ST.
berlan jokes and given a new lease OF
life. The climates of Siberia and the
klondike region are much of the
same, and those frappe jests will
therefore apply to widely separated
regions. The X-ray jokes are not i'm.
mediately available To twist them
into radium jests would entail as much
work as constructing new ones.

ence-the swish Of a spruce bough
brushed aside and returning to place,
the breaking of a dead twig. the rustic
of dry leaf-and yet, so perfect was
the utter silence Of that June night,
each trivial sound reached him.
For moment he listened, breathless,
to this approaching prowler, then rose
to sitting posture, reached for his
rife, and, softly drawing the tent flap
aside, peeped out Whatever the crea-
ture was, its acute hearing had received
warning, for now no sound issued from
the surrounding thicket. For SEEM
ingly long five minutes Martin peered
out, glancing from side to side of the
little opening and to the canoes, be-
sneath which lay the guides, and list
ened. He could hear their measured
breathing, and faint ripple along the
lake shore near by, and that was all.
Then once more the creeping, crawling,
stealthy movement in the tangle JUS.
back Of the tent began again, this
time slowly receding until It ceased.
A danger we can measure does not
appal us, but the invisible menace of
some animal creeping close toone's tent
at night in the wilderness is another
matter. 1t may be a harmless porcu-
pine, but we are sure to imagine it to
be a bear, panther, or wildcat-at least
Martin did-but after a half-hour more
of listening without result, except to
get chilled, he gave it up and crept
under his blanket again.
I'D better not tell the DOCTOR" he
said to himself, and then fell asleep.

Size.-The standard weights of this

pounds, according to age; for females,
II to 18 pounds. Some old males of both
