STREAMING HONEY.
How to Arrange the Uncapping Tank,
Strainer and Extractor.

1t looks quite reasonable, writes a
California bee keeper, that method OF
manipulating bees or honey in one
locality might not be suited to another
in which the climate is altogether diff
ferent. The apiarist who reads the up
to-date bee journals has access to a
fountain Of knowledge he can not at
ford to be without in these days of
competition.
The method of straining honey is not
one of much interest to the bee-men of
this climate. Honey deposited in the
large tanks used here settles at once.
In few hours every foreign substance
is on the surface, where it can be
SKINNED off. Straining through cloth
is out of the question.
I will give method of my own,
which some of my neighbors are adopt
ing. The following sketch will be its
best explanation.
A is the uncapping- 1t is one OF
McIntyre's make. B is the extractor.
c is pan which receives the honey
from both A and B. Inside of this
pan is the strainer. The pan is IA by
20 inches and deep. The strainer is
made by lacking wire cloth on to four
strips of wood 7s, by and the length
and breadth of the receptacle. This

Arab Pasha Old and FriendIess.

In a little house up a by street or
the Mohammedan quarter, old, friend
less, broken, lives the man who might
have ruled Egypt
If you ask 20 people in Cairo to-
day: where is Arab Pasha?" Is will
tell you that he is dead, while the
other five do not know. In fact, after
the bombardment of Alexandria he
was sent to exile for life in Ceylon,
but was allowed some four years ago
to return to his native city.
1t was only after weeks hard fer
reting that l discovered through a ma
tive journalist the whereabouts of
the great man.
Even now, in his SEVENTEEN year,
he is a big man; in his prime he must
have been immense. White hair and
beard; a broad, thoughtful forehead,
surmounted by the Turkish tarboosh;
kindly eyes, dulled little by age,
but lighting up wonderfully when he
talks about things which interest him;
a straight, powerful nose; a large
mouth, which must once have been
hard and cruel, now softened by adj
versity Though the day is warm,
he wears an overcoat, and he walks
heavily on = massive ebony stick

The Apparatus.

strainer is raised from the bottom 21a
inches. Four blocks of wood, Xxi and
21a long, stand in each corner as it's
support. From this pan the honey flows
through two-inch pipe to the tank.
This method is simple, cheap and
easily kept clean. You can have a
number of these strainers. They make
good covers for hives at the time of
moving bees. The size, IA by 20, just
suits an L. hive. l change the sieve
every halliday.
Mr.. Holtermann is opposed to ex-
posing honey to the air. "The aroma
is lost" he says. It may be; but here
our best honey is that which lies in
the tank exposed to the suns rays for
the longest time. Had I tanks enough
l would leave it all out until the close
of the extracting season, simply cover
ing the tank with white sheet. After
a week or so of exposure scum re-
sembling the white of an egg covers
the surface one-fourth inch thick.

scALY LEG FATAL.
Fowls Afflicted Lose Sleep and Flesh
and Finally Die.

Scales on the legs of a fowl are not
only unsightly, but eventually they
mean death to the afflicted bird. After
time the victim begins to lose sleep,
loses flesh, and dies worn out. The
course of the complaint is slow; it
takes five or six months to go through
all its phases.
Grease is a. sovereign remedy for
killing the insects that cause the
trouble, says the Indianapolis News.
The legs should first be washed with
warm water and then anointed with
iard and kerosene; or vaseline and
sulphur; the treatment repeated every
other day until the legs are clean.
To prevent this pest In the poultry
yard, never purchase bird that has
scaly legs, nor set hen that is af1ict-
ed. One scaly legged fowl in a pen
will sooner or later spread the dis
ease. Perfect cleanliness of the houses
viii go far toward keeping the place
rid of the mites that cause all the
trouble.

Value of Exercise.

Exercise does for the body what the
mountain side does for the stream OF
water. When the water runs down
the mountain side, it is a babbling
brook, leaping out into the air now and
then, throwing itself into spray, ex-
posing itself to the air and sunshine,
and the waters are crystal pure, says
Good Health. In the valley or on a
level plain the waters may form stag
nant pools, and get covered over with
slime of all sorts, and inhabited by all
kinds of filthy creeping things. Some
people let themselves get into the
condition of that stagnant pool, and
then wonder why the frogs croak in
their brains, and why the birds do not
sing instead When a person gets into
the condition where the body is like
a stagnant pool, radical change must
be made in his life. He must begin by
getting vitalized, new blood into all
his cells and tissues.

Peculiar Boston Elevators,

Elevators which travel narrow but
not a straight road are installed in the
three-story Atlantic Chambers station
of the East Boston tunnel. Going up
and down a distance of Sc feet, they
move six feet in horizontal direction.
In other words, when they start at the
bottom on the tunnel level they are
"a feet apart, but when they reach the
street floor they are within IL feet of
each other This popularity is due to
the fact that they are obliged to
straddle the car tracks of the tunnel
and yet come together above at an
ordinary sized passenger platform.
Despite curvature of the shafts the
floors of the elevators are level during
the trip. They are the only elevators
in the world which do not go straight
up and down and still maintain a per
fectly level floor.

THE POULTRY YARD.
1t Is Worth All the Trouble II Costs
to Keep 1t Clean.

I have always found it quite easy
70 keep the hen yard clean, by taking
matters in time. The usual method of
handling the poultry yard is to let the
fowls remain for months in one yard,
and, by so doing, the grass is killed,
blade and root. If the grass is con-
tinually eaten off, it insures barren
surface, and then, when the rains
come, the whole mass becomes mud.
The poultry paddle around in the mud
and render the ground unfit for any
kind of living thing to walk over. In
addition, when the mud dries out, the
place of the mud is taken by dust
l have found that it is better to
have good sized poultry yard and
divide it into two smaller yards. This
makes it possible to keep something
growing in one yard, while it is being
eaten off in the other yard. I have
found rape very serviceable to grow
where the sod has been destroyed, as
it can be planted at any time of year.
1t takes but few weeks to produce
plants large enough to count greatly
also that on most soils one does not
need to turn up the ground before
sowing the rape seed. The rape seeds
are firm and quite large, and if they
are scattered over the bare ground
they will send their roots into it and
get a good start that way. In fact,
/ have sometimes had better results
with rape on bare ground than when
sown on mellow ground specially pre-
pared for it.
Of-all things, says the Farmers Re
view, i prefer sod in the poultry
yard. The sod does not produce so
much food as does rape and some
other plants, but the yards are clean,
as the matted roots of the grass serve
as a carpet. After a rain, when the
new grass is shooting up, the yards
are green and pretty. l had rather
feed a little extra feed and have the
yards and birds clean than get so
much out Of the soil in the poultry
yards.

Hunters MauIed by Lloness.

A fight between two hunters and an
Infatuated lioness is reported from
British East Africa.
Messrs. Lucas and Goldfnch left
Nairobi on shooting expedition, and
when five miles from the town the
lioness was observed
While the men stood at the edge OF
the thicket the brute pounced on Mr..
Goldfinch and threw him to the
ground. 1t bit him on the thigh be-
fore Mr.. Lucas lodged a bullet in its
neck.
Maddened by the wound, the AMI
NAL turned its attention to Mr.. Lucas,
whose horse it felled and then pinned
the rider to the ground, infiicting lac
erations on his face and biting MS
right arm. He was saved by Mr..
Goldfnch, who, sitting up, rolled the
lioness over with a well-aimed shot
The beast was about to spring on
its victim again when another dis
charge from the same weapon proved
fatal. The wounded men were taken
back to town, where they received
medical aid.

county to elect new sheriff.

Mr. Cutcheon's fitness for the office,

zens to the fact that he is probably
the best shot in Ranger county. Eight
times in the past five years he has
passed my store on galloping cayuse
and, although very drunk on each oc-
casion, he has never failed to break
the two glass bottles in my window

AdUice to Women Authors.
Editors Always Looking for New Clever Aspirants-
Opportunities to Write About Domestic Matters
and Fashion

one publisher to another, returning
with polite notes of regret to it's in
valid author, until one reader was
found who discovered its rare merits.
have personally known two instances
in which books rejected by the readers
of one publishing house, were recon-
mended by those of another and being
given to the world, rapidly ran through
many successive editions bringing
their authors fame and money and re-
ceiving notice among the best selling
books of several seasons. I mention
this in order that my aspiring author
may not be too readily disheartened.
If she have the stuff in her she will
after awhile find somebody who has
the witch hazel wand that divines
genius and the helping hand that in
PRODUCES it to the reading world
Meanwhile, my advice is, read more
than you write. You can hardly read
too much. Read everything that in
terests you, travel, essays, biography
and poetry, but do not too closely con.
fine yourself to the successful writer's
of to-day. Draw from the deep wells
of pure English furnished you by the
standard authors of the language.
AS for the pace at which successful
writer's work, there is no particular
rule. Anthony Trollope wrote ESQ
words in less than half hour and
kept up that amount for hours at a
time day after day, at home, in a
stage coach, on a railway train, when
visiting friends, and on board a
steamer. George Eliot sometimes
spent whole day over single page.
There is no rule. But about the aver
age person, particularly when begin
ming, it is generally true that easy
writing makes difficult reading.
When your story or your book is
written, have it copied legibly in
typewriting, if possible, and send it
fully stamped and with stamps added
for the possible return of the manu-
script, to the editor you have chosen.
Write your name and address at the
top of the first page. If you send a
letter of explanation or introduction,
let it go in the same inclosure and
not separately. 1t is best to add moth
ing to the labor of the editor. Do
not expect an immediate reply. From
Ia to 81 days is the briefest limit in
which the story of volunteer can
usually be examined. Remember
that your work must enter into COM
petition with that of skilled writer's
who have earned claim on public
attention, and whose work is often
engaged months before it appears.
Do not resent the printed slip which
tells you that your manuscript is de-
clined with thanks. If there is any,
thing in you and you persevere, you
will one day receive not the printed
slip, but the welcomed check which
will be an omen of your happy future.
In many cases the aspiring author
will win a measure of success earlier
if she do not attempt imaginative
work, but if, on the contrary, she
writes clearly and lucidly about do
nestle matters, housekeeping, fashion,
house FURNISHING or some other prac-
tical topic of interest to the ordinary
reader. She must carefully select the
medium to which she sends her work.

Rev. Denis p. O'Flynn, of New York
city, used to say that priests ought to
die poor and he practiced what he
preached. Aside from a valuable IL
brary given to the Paulist fathers he

money in bank, no money in the rec
tory. "He died as poor as the proverb-

Father Corrigan. what little insur-
ance he carried will barely cover the
funeral expenses. He never saved a
penny for himself. After keeping the
house on his meager salary he gave
away all he had"

WIN Music Attracts Spiders.

1t has often been said that spiders
are fond of music, but a French inves-
tigator, H. Lecaillou, now asserts that
this is not true. He says that their
musical sense must be attributed
merely to greed or to hunger. When
fly is caught in a spiders web it
buzzes, and the spider Immediately
makes for the place from which the
buzzing comes. M. Lecaillou, by ex-
perimenting with a V'nlin, some flies,
a piano, violoncello and a cornet,
found that only those musical sounds
which resembled the buzzing of the
flies attracted the spiders. The cornet,
for instance, invariably frightened it,
end so did the piano.

cheapens Cost Of LIQUID Air.

A Dane named Knudson is credited
with discovering means of producing
LIQUID air at the cost of no more than
one-sixth the usual price, and it is said
that his process, which is mechanical
rather than chemical, will ultimately
put liquid air on the market at not
more than about two cents gallon
The same invention makes it possible
TO sell oxygen at a cent cubic foot
which promises to bring it into rather
wide industrial use.

And between her sobs the girl had
come to the conclusion that Red

standing up and letting her shoot at
him, for what he considered her
