some Reasonable ADVICE.

It may be a piece of sEperfuous adj
vice to urge people at this season of
the year to lay in a supply of Cham
berlain's Cough remedy. It is almost
sure to be needed before winter is over,
and much more prompt and satisfac-
tory results are obtained when taken
as soon as a cold is contracted and be-
fore it has become settled in the sys-
tenn, which can only be done by keep
ing the remedy at hand. This remedy
is so widely known and so altogether
good that no one should hesitate about
buying it in preference to any other.

STUDY YOURSELF.

Did you ever think that it is fully
as important to keep on good terms
with yourself as with other people ?
We have known young women who
took great pains to win the good opin-
ion Of certain ones whom they admire.
They were very much on their guard
in the presence of these particular
people. But very often the people
who are most entertaining and agree
able in society are very bad company
for themselves. If they spend sim
gle evening alone they are almost sure
to fall into depressed and gloomy
mood. The good opinion of other
people is worth having is worth
striving for; but it is of greater i'm
portance to have, and deserve, ones
own approval. 1t does not pay to
cultivate the qualities which attract
others and neglect those which will
make US good companions to ourselves.
IF we wish to become the best sort of
friends we must first get on friendly
footing with our own hearts, and this
is possible only when we learn to un-
derstand ourselves, aud lift our purpo-
ses and motives upon SO high plane
as to compel our own respect.

paused to mop his face. He remind
ed Marshall of some great wounded
animal there was something like pain
in his eyes. "And you've got to
make her happy" he went on. "Do
you hear? It's up to you. You
needn't worry about money. l can
fix you up in that line until you can
get on your feet again. But you've
got to go back with me, any way.
She-she wants you to come back.
How do l know? Well, know

Marshall tossed the lottery tickets
onto the bed, and turned to the other
man with sudden comprehension.

queer old brick. Yes, I'll go back
with you, if you say so. Tonight !
All right, then, tonight it is"
The messenger came with Margery
Reeves note just as Parkinson was
leaving the Office. He hailed the
first cab and drove up town, his mind
a maelstrom OF doubts and fears. The
note was non-committal. 1t merely
requested him to call at the house as
soon as possible. Was she angry be-
cause he had found Tom Marshall
and brought him back, or did she
merely wish to thank him for his
efforts in that line? He had not seen
her since that afternoon at the links.
The thought of seeing her now cut
him sharply. The end, so far as he
was concerned, had come that day

MAKING GOOD HONEY.

The modern apiarist must of neces-
sity use foundation if he wishes
straight combs that can be emptied by
extracting, for choice, fancy section
honey comb honey, and nothing else
will sell in the markets today.
The broken, dark honey of our
grandfather days cannot be sold at
any price. Sugar syrup could be fed
to the bees to put in boxes, but it
would still be sugar syrup and taste
like it, and not like honey, and so
much of it would be used by the bees
for increased brood rearing that it
would not be profitable even ifit were
honest.
Extracted honey can be best raised
by the farmer and comb by the spe-
cialist, since it requires more skill
and experience to produce the latter,
and when raising it the bees usually
swarm in the farmer busiest season,
the haying time, and if not imme-
diately hived go to the woods and the
profits are gone from that colony for
the season, for it is the first swarm
that usually gathers most ofthe honey.
Bees dislike very much to work in
the small section boxes and sometimes
sulk and refuse to do so until the
part of the honey flow is over, and
if more than one swarm is allowed to
issue while working for comb honey,
very little honey is obtained from any
of them. With extracted honey it is
very different. If plenty of empty
combs are given to colony in the be-
ginning of the season they seldom
swarm, and with such large working
force, much larger amount can be
obtained. In the fall, when the press
of farm work is over, the combs can
be removed from the hive and placed
in the honey extractor and the honey
thrown from them by centrifugal
force, very much as cream is separat-
ed, and the frames of comb can then
be stored away until another season.
We have combs that have been in use
for twenty years as good as ever for
that purpose.
Never destroy good frame of
worker comb, for they are good prop
erty for the beekeeper to have. Store
them in a cold, dry cellar and the
wax moth will not trouble them.
They should be wired, however, or
they break from the frames while ex-
tracing. Extracted honey sometimes
does not sell quite as readily as comb,
and whyl 1t is the pure honey
without the indigestible wax. Physi-
clans tell us that wax is no more
digestible in the human stomach than
leather or India rubber, and believe
was no more intended by our Creator
to be eaten than the skins of fruit or
the shells of nuts.
Pure extracted honey will always
granulate or candy when exposed to
continued cold, and this is the only
positive proof of its perfect purity.
| It should be sold in that form, and
then the public could be sure of what
they were buying. But as long as
there is so much distrust Of granulated
honey it will have to be heated and
sealed like canned fruit to keep it
liquid. Most honey producers put it
up that way at the present time. To
sum up, if you wish pure article OF
honey, buy it in the granulated state
or of some beekeeper who has a re-
putation to sustain.-MS. II. S.

RocKEFELLER AT CHURCH.

In a second paper in the August
number of McClure's magazine, Miss
Ida M. Tarbell, author of "The His
tory of the Standard Oil Company, "
gives terrible picture of the effect
of keeping separate Sunday school
ethics and business morality, as ex-
empli6ed in the character of John D.
Rockefeller.
"The only public place in which
Mr.. Rockefeller appears with any
regularity is at the services of a Bap-
tist church in the community where
he happens to be living. He is par
ticularly devoted to the services of
the,Euclid Avenue Baptist Church of
Cleveland, and rarely from May to
October does he miss the Sunday
meetings, and he always appears at
the annual Sunday school picnic.
Hoe he seems to be at his freest,
be heseven makes little speeches on
occasions. And yet to one who from
a pew watches Mr.. Rockefeller in the
bosom If his church, it seems as if
the Sunday service can be nothing
but an ordeal.
"The writer was once present at
the annual October gathering in Mr..
Rockefeller Cleveland church where
he says goodbye for the season to
the Sunday school of which he is the
honorary superintendent. He sat
through the session of Sunday school,
his back to the wall, (they say in
Cleveland Mr.. Rockefeller always sits
with his back to the wall when it is
possible. So many things can hap
pen behind ones back in an assem-
bly, y incessantly peering into the
faces of those before him. No child
i'll the assembly was so uneasy.
Throughout the church service which
followed, this same terrible restless
ness agitated him. He sat bent for
ward in his pew, for a moment, his
eyes intent on the speaker. then with
start he looked to his right search
ing the faces he could see, craning his
neck to look backward. Then his
eyes would turn again to the speaker.
But not to stay there. A few mo-
ments later he was searching the aisle
to his left, craning again to see behind
him. Those who have observed Mr..
Rockefeller in church over a long
period of years say that he has shown
this uneasiness for years. Uncon-
scious habit, perhaps. Fear, fear of
the oft repeated threats of the multi
tude of sufferers from the wheels of
the cars of progress he has rolled
across the country, SO many a man
who knows him will say. 1t is pitt
full, so pitiful, that one cannot watch
John Rockefeller sit through church
service and even cease to feel that he
is one of the saddest objects in the
world. For what good this indebted
power of achievement, for what good
this towering wealth, if one must be
forever peering to see what is be-

He waited for her in the big, dim
hall. She came down the wide stairs,
dressed in white, her eyes shining.
There was a radiant happiness in her
eyes that hurt him strangely.

what you have done?" she cried.
