The Money in IL.

Joe Chapple, editor of the National
Magazine. is moved to observe that
IL the human race could be all happy
by habit, or even moderately rational,
there would be little bitterness, and
no more of the absolutely needless
sacrifice OF the nobler and uplifting
emotions OF mankind. To-day" he
says, I'VE offer human sacrifices just
as truly as did the Aztecs, and our
shafts of sarcasm and persecution cut
as deep as any sacrificial knife OF Old,
beneath which the human blood
gushed out and stained the great
stone slab on which the victim lay
bound. True, those who suffered in
the old days were not all helpless VIC
tims-some went to the stake cheer
fully content to die for their convic-
lions. They are now made victims for
personal revenge and public honors,
which could never be attained except
by Staying those in power, over whose
PROSTATE forms the ambitious grasp
the tinsel of glory they covet, but
which they, too, some day will find
only broken bauble. 1t has been
said that the way to appeal to an
Englishman is through his stomach;
let 1t not be said with equal truth
that the way to appeal to an American
is through his purse. Too many great
questions to-day are considered on the
basis of whether or not there Is
money in it; but all manhood cannot
be bought with gold, or the nation S
sense of justice dulled by pecuniary
gain. Ruskin was one who loved his
fellow-man. This great man said:
The sum of enjoyment depends not
on the quantity of things tasted, buI
on the vivacity and patience Of
taste

whether used this year or next; aids
in preventing sagging along the wires,
making that line USUALLY the weak
est the strongest place in the sheet
of foundation. Frames with sheets
of foundation so prepared are espe-
cially good for hauling to outyards
and over bad roads.
Our older methods of waxing the
wires in place were faulty. With a
brush the brush would not carry
enough wax; with sharpnosed tin
spoon with small notch in the end
it was difficult to follow the wire and
to regulate the flow of wax. During
the spring of 1906, writes e. F. At
water in Bee Culture, My II. e. Crow
Their and myself originated the plan of
combining the spoon and brush, as IL
Illustrated herewith.
The sheet of foundation, with wires
imbedded, should be supported on
slant, then with the combined spoon
and brush it is an easy matter to wax
the wires IN place; easy to follow the
wires; easy to regulate the flow of
wax, and the spoon easily carries
enough wax to finish one or more
wires without stopping to dip again.
Don't imagine that an exceedingly
light coating of wax is required
neither should it be used layshly.
This little tool is easily made, and
should be on the list of supplies. Per
haps the brush can be combined with
waxtube, though we prefer the point.

and brush combined, ready for use
Fig 2 shows the parts-the brush and
the spoon.
The spoon without the brush is the
simplest tool to use when we want
to attach either starters or full sheets
of foundation to plain top-bars. It Is
the "Onderdonk spoon" as described
in the American Bee Journal years
ago. It is also perhaps the best tool
to use when we fill sections with
foundation fastened on three or foul
sides-a plan that / discarded aftel

Public Menaces to Morality.

Perhaps it is waste of words to

new domestic upheaval in what is

morals among the richest people is
hard to resist. 1t must be admitted

as the sculptress, using as her tools
the tapping waves of ages, has set up
this monument to the greatest Ameri-

state which bears his name.
Had the international boundary line
been moved five miles to the east
ward, as it passes among the islands
that form the archipelago lying be-
tween Vancouver island and the main

dron island, the most northwesterly
Of the San Juan group OF islands to
the northward of Puget sound.
British forces tried to hold all these
islands, but they were routed by the
American troops. Crumbling forts and
ancient blockhouses to-day remain to
remind the people of the struggles Of
early days that now have been almost
forgotten.
Not far from Waldron island Nature
has become a shipbuilder and has

queer feat in converting an immense
boulder on the beach OF Sucia island

like the fiowery kingdom. Between
the island and the beach is the fayo-

coming known far and wide for taeir
beauty, and each year more and more
people visit their summer resorts or
run their yachts into the sheltered
harbors and covers that are almost
as numerous as the pebbles upon the

islands and tell of the troublous times
