His Use for a Fork.

A Denver man had friend from a
Kansas ranch in the city Saturday on
a business deal, and at noon they
went to down town restaurant, and
had lunch together The Kansas
ranchman ate his entire meal with his

he discovered something. He discov-
cred that he had no fork.
Say" he said to the Denver man,

Bees and Hive an Inn Siqn.


At Grantham q remarkable sight has
been witnessed outside a public house
known as the Beehive inn. Over the
doorway is hive in which bees store
their honey, and it is believed to be
the only living public house sign in
England, says the London Standard.
The. sunshine of Saturday had a
surprising effect and the occupants of
the hive were swarming, much to the
discomfort of those who desired to
enter the inn to quench their thirst.
Thousands of bees were flying about
and large crowd of persons stood at
a respectful distance watching the
landlord collecting them in another
hive by the side of the footpath near
the door.

the highest price may be saved her by
a few bits of advice concerning this

should decide to have il as easy as pos

she should insist upon painted walls
unless she can have them covered with
oilcloth. This is supremacy neat ana
dainty, with but one disadvantage in a
city hOuse-its readiness TO serve as a
hiding and nesting place for cock
reaches. ants and other vermin. Grant
ed a clean country house, there is less
risk in this covering, and it is delightful
10 have a well which can be washed
easily and look well afterward.
Failing the oilcloth, the paint will
serve and should be neither too light
nor too dark. A good clean buff is a
pleasing tint and gives the kitchen a
cheerful aspect.
Next in Importance to this is linoleum
on the floor or a good oilclOth. The
purchase OF Iinoleum has, in my ex-
