A Ventilation Test.

It is very hard to make an impress
sion on those people who defend their
possessions on all occasions. A lady
was explaining to visitor the many
advantages of concrete hollow-block
construction, of which the walls Of
her new home were built.
"The air spaces in the walls afford
insulation against heat in summer and
cold in winter" she explained. BE
sides, such walls afford ventilation
and insure a more healthful house"
The visitor reflected moment, and
replied:
"Our frame house must be quite as
well built. Every night we lock the
cat in the cellar, and have to let her
out of the attic in the morning.

Keeps Bees Stronc.

Many experienced beekeepers con-
tend that it is not worth while to re.
move bees for the sake of getting rid
of the moths. Vigor and strength are
the only reliable protection. If a
colony has young queen and is
strong in numbers they will carry out
the eggs and moths as fast as they
are found. Sometimes they will sting
the moths to death or will seal them
to the bottom or some other part of
the hive. Italianizing the apiary is
also recommended to reduce the trou-
BILE with moths.

Mo RustIinn Skirts.

Fashions decree is that the ensu-
ing season is to be literally a quiet
one. No longer is it considered good
form for a "grande dame" to herald
her approach by rafting of many
silken skirts. Yet handsome silks
will play an important part in the
building of her robes, and at those
important events of early autumn,
church weddings, one may expect to
see many soft silks of quiet hue, side
by side with clinging lansdownes and
crepe de chimes.

ON A MAcKEREL SCHOONER.
Daily Routine in the Life of the GIou.
cester Fishermen.

The routine life on mackerel
schooner is not strenuous. The crew
consists OF IA men, a skipper and
cook. Two men constitute a watch,
one aloft as a lookout, the other at
the wheel, so that each man has two
hours on duty, and then II hours Off,
before his turn comes around again.
During this period he may be called
on to shorten sail, wash the deck or
to perform other work. Half of the
crew have their hunks forward with
the cook, who is king Of the forecas-
tie, and the rest sleep aft with the
captain. We were assigned to a
double bunk aft, where we were not
troubled with galley smells, but had
to be on our good behavior. All the
roles and revels were forward. The
crew ate in two shifts, the older men
with the skipper.-Travel Magazine.

HEAVY JEWELRY WORN
Excessive Display of Gold and Prec.
ious Stones Is Now Sanctioned
by Fashion.

The fashions in jewelry change al.
most as rapidly as they do in Easter
bonnets nowadays. Stones of huge
size, when considered as precious
gems, are now being mounted in Lon
don, New York and Paris for the most
refined and fashionable ladies. These
huge stones are being put into neck
laces, brooches and bracelets, and the
amount of jewelry which is now con-
sidered perfectly proper for a lady to
wear would have been considered bar
barous and vulgar five years ago. AS
many as three different styles of
necklaces are worn this year by fash
ionable women, six brooches are not
thought too many, and half a dozen
proper by the best judges in London
society,"
Rings are now a decided tendency
to become large and clumsy. Any num-
Der of them may be worn; in fact so
many that the hands of London's most
fashionable women when attired in
their rings, are just about useless.
lnGy COulQ not even PICK up udHu-
kerchief, as they cannot bend their
fingers weighted down with large
rings. Large diamonds are preferred
for the little fingers, and artistic de-
signs of thumb rings are being worn
that stretch from one knuckle to the
other. The corsage can be complete
ly hidden with jewels in many and
curious designs. Tiaras, dog collars,
necklaces and stomachers are some
of the forms in which the present
fashionable love for jeweled orna-
ments find expression.
