TO LESSEN WRINKLES.
One Treatment Night Compress Of
White Of Egg Mixed with
Equal Part of Alcohol.

Here is white of egg treatment for
wrinkles
Bind the forehead at night with q
compress of new linen soaked in a
mixture of equal parts of alcohol
and white of egg. Allow the compress
to remain on all night and continue the
treatment until the wrinkles have dis
appeared. Wrinkles may sometimes
be effaced by the following treatment,
If persistently continued:
Cut some narrow strips of court-plas-
ter, then, with the thumb and. fore
finger of one hand, stretch the skin fur
rowed by the wrinkle until it is per-
fectly smooth. and with the other hand
apply over the wrinkle strip of court
plaster. This application is, of course,
best made at night.
The following mixture, used as q To-
ton. is Of great efficacy in removing
wrinkles, but it is a little difficult to pre-
pare and requires in addition to be dis

RANGE FOR LECHORNS.
This Breed Of Fowls Needs Plenty of
Room in Which to Run-Good
Breed for the Farm.

In case the fowls must be confined
in a limited space, one should not con-
slider the Leghorns, and particularly
the White Leghorns, for they are
nervous and require a range of con-
siderable area to do their best. On
the farm, where they may have this
range in colonies, they will probably
produce more eggs than any. other
breed, but it poultry is raised on the
farm for the purpose of selling both
eggs and carcass, then the Leghorns
should be crossed with some heavy
breed or two breeds kept, one for the
eggs and one for the carcass. >
Another thing about the Leghorns
Is that they are timid and must be
treated with consideration, so that it
is a good plan to give the flock over
to the care Of one person and keep
other people away from them; they
must also be fed regularly for best
results. Like all living things that
are nervous, they are impatient of
anything that does not suit them. and
an hours difference in the time of
feeding may make some difference in
the egg return. - ..,s.s.,-.-. T.. 3.

edge, where it is laced through the kid.
and the buckles are OF plain gold: /:
i VI supreme elegance are the wide
belts of pale blue, pale pink and butter
colored kid trimmed with three big but:
tons Of their own material up the CEN:
ter back and fastened with lovely kid
buckles in front. They are most DELI
cate and most lovely, and give Paris,
Ian dash to the simplest frocks, says the
Chicago Tribune. :,
Belts~of painted and printed kid are
also a vogue, and are draped and drawn
through long buckles of gold or plain
steel, that span the back of the waist.
The new pink is reproduced in kid:
myrtle green is another color, and rose
red has its charms, particularly when
conveyed in a draped belt of the softest
Kid, bordered with tiny paillettes Of
cut steel. ,.
Another novel belt is of the skeleton
class, the ends being Of colored silk
elastic, while the Swiss shaped center
part Is composed of narrow bands of
velvet ribbon, laid upon silk, and DAM
t1ly embroidered.
The new silk elastics, which render
yeoman service in the composition Of
belts, are really charming, some of
them appearing as glittering gold or
silver. ..
Suede, as well as soft glace kid, is
much used for construction, and the IA
vorite decorations are wee buttons Of
gold metal.
Useful as we'll as ornamental are tho
metal slides through which the kid is
drawn at the sides of the waist.
Striking novelties are the leather
belts sprinkled with steel paillettes and
cut with an irregular edge, that boast
little basques; and the softer kid
belts adorned with bows of their own
material at the back, the center of the
bow being large kid button, are also
effective.
Other novelties are the straight waist
bands of white or pale blue kid yelled
with network Of gold thread en-
broidery, having large, solid squares of
gold about it. And last, but not least,
are the Swiss belts of white kid, in
crusted with ribbon embroideries in
the form of small flowers and foliage.
OF silk belts little need be said. They
are mostly high and draped. An excep-
ton to the rule occurs in novel belt
Of shaded soft silk, embroidered with
chenille, this being some five inches
deep and worn to its full width, without
the introduction of folds or gathers.

with dead bees. The Hersh;ser plan
of wire cloth on the sides, I think,

THE SIZE 81 HIVE.
Interesting Discussion at Bee-Xesp
ers' Convention on This Inn
- portant Matter.

The question as to what IL the besi
size of hive to. use brought out con-,
siderable discussion and differences .ot
opinion at the Ontario Bee Keepers
convention. Some of the bee keepers
favored an eight.frame hive and 9th, /
ers favored hives of larger mum.
Der OF frames, one bee keeper saying
that he had just used q sc frame hive
and had his largest yields from It
The 12-frame Langstroth hive wa
commended as a splendid honey hive
good for extracting honey. Another
said that~the eight~frame Langstroth
had been the standard recommended
by bee journals and bee supply men.
A bee keeper Of ~ years standing
said that he had used an old-fashioned
hive equal to an 11-frame Langstroth,
and if he were to change he would
add one or two more frames.
A considerable number of bee keep.
ers argeed with the man who said
that he believed that there was q rapid
change in the direction of using q
larger hive and that in five years large
percentage Of large hives would be used.
A man who had been in the bee business
for over 40 years declared for the deep
hive. 81 like plainly of room, plenty OF
air at the bottom, GOODNESS in the top,
and a good brood chamber" he said.
Another emphasized the fact that it was
just as possible to have large brood
chamber in small as large hive.
Ono oro11v,nont 0f% tho r,ooy, yho fouo,a-
ed the small hive plan was that in a too
large hive there would be difficulty in
getting much ripe honey. An apiarist
who said that he had eight, nine and
some II, but was going to plit@the
twelves out of business. He sid that no
could take more honey with the nine
than with the IL, and could get better
profit in the way he managed and
worked it. Another man thought that
he should have several thousand pounds
less honey if he had larger hives because
his clover honey would not ripen.
The question Of swarming was taken
up and an advocate of the larger hives
said that he did not believe that IL
frame hive retarded sWarming In re-
gard to extracting supers he said that
he would not put on two at once, not
putting on second until the first was
at least two-thirds full. One man who
had eight different styles of hives in
the same yard said that he thought that
when bees gothic swarming impulse
they would swarm as quickly out Of one
as out of another, but he would sooner
lift away an e1ght-frame than a L.
frame hive. And the next speaker said:
II think this is question largely de-
pending on the size of the colony Of
bees, the size of the man who manages
the bees, and the size of the locality.
They will swarm, other conditions being
satisfactory. They will not swarm If
conditions are favorable to their stor-
ing honey" Others said give plenty OF
room before they get the notion Of
swarming, plenty of room at the top
and air at the bottom, and do4not let
them get ahead Of you.
