cAMPHOR AS A FAMILY FRIEND.
Valuable Medicine, and Useful In
Many Other Ways.

Few people realize the valuable adj
iunct camphor is in the household.
They use it as moth preventive,
when they do not growl about the
cost and substitute tar ball, but be-
yond that give it little thought.
Yet camphor is valuable in many
ways as a cleanser, and insect chaser
and as a medicine.
The darkest stain on mirror or Win
dow pane can generally be routed with
flannel dipped in spirits of camphor.
Rub until dry.
Camphor, either in the lump or the
liquid form, is hated by mosquitoes
end will keep them off when all other
methods fail.
AS a medicine it is Invaluable if
used judiciously. If six or ten drops
are taken on a lump of sugar when
sneezing starts, bad cold in the
head can often be checked. This dose
should not be repeated closer than an
hour apart.
1t is important in taking camphor in
ternally to be sure that it agrees with
you; the mildest dose is harmful to
certain people and occasionally per-
son is found whom it throws into un-
consciousness.
If taken too steadily, even when
there seems to be no injurious effect,
it lowers the circulation and eventual
ly weakens the heart.
A few drops of liquid camphor will
often stop nausea, while setting fire
to the Jumps and inhaling the fumes
sometimes works similar cure.
For cold sores small phial of cam
phor should be carried in the pocket
and rubbed on the lips at frequent
intervals. If taken in time it will
usually back the blisters.

ing the long whip of the arctic driver,
is their proud and devoted mistress.
Mrs Hannum had no idea of using
the dogs for driving purposes when
she first brought them to the city, but
after she had been here awhile she was
dismayed to find that she could not
possibly exercise them in the usual
manner that city dogs are exercised,
by either walk about the streets
or ramble in the parks, as the min
ute they find themselves at liberty
they will unite their forces against any
other dog who might chance to cross
their path and tear him to pieces. So
she determined that the only way to
exercise them properly and at the
same time keep them, as well as her
self, beloved by the neighbors, was to
literally and figuratively keep them in
harness, so the little cart was ordered
and the harness brought into usage.
Bruin, the beauty of the team, a
pure-blooded Siberian husky, which
Mr.. Hannum brought from Siberia, has
won a number of trophies for his
owners, ranging all the way from elab-
crate cups to blue ribbons. His tail
curls up over his back like a great
plume, almost reaching his neck. No
one who has seen him can doubt that
he is we'll named for his forebears,
whom he so strongly resembles.
Another strange trait, strongly con-
vincing that he is only recent mem
Der of the dog family, is the fact that
he does not know how to bark. AS
his mistress so aptly explained to me:
HE never says word, unless to give
that strange howl you heard when
loosed him, his glad howl, and an
angry growl when he is displeased."
The usual length of the drive is two
or three miles. Every day Mrs. Han
mum takes her pets down to the beach,
where they all enjoy swim, then in
the late afternoon for the drive, then
home to their well-earned dinners, aft
err which they are at leisure to enjoy
themselves at will.

done | remove the frames in the GEN.
ter of the hive one by one, and, after
shaking the bees off very close to the
entrance of the hive, place the comb
firmly against some very solid object
and begin by cutting out a circular
piece of the honey IL inches in dia-
meter, directly in the center OF each
comb, replacing each comb as soon as
the hole has been made through it,
and putting the circular chunks OF
honey in the pail. Having cut this
opening through eight of the frames
Of honey and brood always leaving
the two outside ones intact / close
the hive and proceed to the next one.
The bees clustering in hive are
compelled to keep each frame OF
honey warmed to certain point all
of the time or there will be grave dan
ger of the entire hive perishing, 1t be-
ing very similar to person lying
down to sleep upon block of ice with
another block over him. Once the
honey becomes chilled through most
of the heat communicated from the
bees passes back and forth over or
under the frames, especially over
them; consequently / think you will
agree with me that a hole through
each of the central frames is what Is
needed to remedy this, and concen-
trate the warmth of the hive.
Since adopting this method Of pre-
pairing for winter l have not lost sim
gle hive of bees. Two years ago
tried this plan at the home yard on
eight hives that were not so well
stocked with bees as they should have
been, and. to my surprise, they came
out in better condition than the ones
that were stronger in bees In the fall.
Last winter l tried the same plan with
IS colonies, with no loss whatever, aid
this winter / mean to prepare all the
colonies in my home yard in this way,
as l have full faith in its merits. How
ever. / would not advise any brother
bee-keeper to try large number OF
hives in this manner as first expert
ment. as the locality might have SONS
thing to do with the success of the
plan. One of the very best features
of all is the fact that hives treated as
above will come out in the spring with
at least three more frames Of brood
than hives at like period that did not
have the holes through the frames.
The bees always fill in all OF these
nop-holes before the close of the APP
ple-bloom.

WOULD FUSE WITH THE ORIENT
Writer Declares That Out of Action
Would Come a Better Race.

In many respects the orientals are
our antithesis, and If our ideals, prin-
oiples, and institutions are more
beneficient, we are under obligation
to present them. There should be no
collision between the Mongol and the
Anglo-Saxon races, but instead there
should be a fusion. Out of this fusion
there should emerge a better race
We can learn much from the various
people Of the orient which would be
beneficial to ourselves, and while we
receive from them we are able to
contribute the one great principle OF
the Anglo-Saxon race, namely, liberty.
Every race that has come into power
and prominence has stood for some
great, overmastering idea. That for
which we stand and which is the great
touchstone of our great national life is
liberty. It is for our nation, as the
great western wing of the Anglo-Saxon
race, to join in the extension OF this
principle, and also to bear the mes
sage of peace.-Mason S. Stone, Com.
missioner of Education of Vermont, In
Leslie's Weekly.

HOLES IN COMB.
Permit Easier Passage from One Part
of Hive to Another.


My bees are all in regular ten-frame
hives, well-flled with solid slabs of
honey. sufficient to winter three ordi-
nary hives of bees. However, in years
past, colonies died just the same, and
| was surprised to find the mortality
greatest in the hives that contained
the most food, writes a West Virginia
bee keeper in Bee Culture. I decided
that this was due to the fact that,
when once these solid masses of hon
ey became cold, the bees were unable
to generate heat sufficient TO rewarm
them. Then with the appearance OF
a sunny day dozens of bees would
leave the cluster and roam about over
the surface of these combs. AS night
approached and the air became cooler
these bees once more drew toward the
cluster for warmth; but each time this
would occur, numbers Of stragglers
would become isolated from the main
cluster and collect together in the
form of compact little knots on the
surface of the outside combs, where
they slowly chilled to death. In this
way | found by actual observation that
strong hives of bees positively dwin-
died down to mere handful and. with
a sudden fall of the temperature, they
would succumb. | was not prepared
to cellar my bees, so tried the tarred-
paper plan and found it all right, ex-
cept that there was too much labor
and expense connected with it; so
started experimenting, with the result
that no longer lose any colonies here
in my home yard from the rigor OF
winter, and it is pretty cool here, too
(17 degrees below zero last winter
four nights in succession).
Here is just the plan / have hit
upon, and the one l mean to follow
until somebody shows me that am
wrong: Late in October, after all the
honey-flow is past and Jack Frost has
cut down all the flowers, / go into my
yard armed with only a large pail and
long slender-bladed knife (the type
generally known as a physicians
knife" is besD. / have the knife whet-
ted to a razor edge AS 1t is late in
the evening | experience no trouble
from robbers, so l at once proceed to
open the first hive / come to. This

HOW TO PRESERVE EGGS.
For Keeping Eggs in Small Quantities
Water Glass Is Best.

Water glass is claimed to be the
best egg preservative of all, aside
from cold storage. For the person
who desires to put up only limited
number of eggs cold storage is imprac-
teal. At various experiment stations
water glass has been successfully
used and it has been found to be
cheap, simple and successful. Water
glass Cor sodium salicate) can be OBJ
tanned from nearly any druggist.
There are several kinds of water glass,
but for egg preserving purposes only
the best should be used and the cost
should not exceed so cents gallon. A
large stone jar is the best vessel in
which to put the preservative, and be.
fore using the jar it should be
thoroughly cleaned with hot water. To
ten quarts of water that has been
boiled and cooled add one quart of
water glass and set the jar in a cool,
dark place, covering tightly to prevent
evaporation.
Each day as the eggs are gathered
drop them carefully into the solution.
To keep well the eggs must be strict
ly fresh-not over three days old
and comparatively clean. An egg
with badly soiled shell should not be
used, and under no circumstances
should the eggs be washed before plac-
ing in the solution, as the washing
process opens up the pores of the
shells, which is detrimental to the
keeping qualities of the eggs. Be sure
that there are fully two inches of the
solution covering the eggs at all times
that is, that as the jar is filled the
eggs do not come to within two inches
of the top Of the solution. Eggs pre-
served by this method will keep nice
ly for from six months to year, and
will come out of the solution appar.
emily as fresh as when they were put
in.-H. D. Hainey.

Gainesville, Mo.-Stripped to the
waist, each armed with a huge bowie
knife, Mrs James Crabtree and Mrs.
Frank Graham, sisters-in-law, the 9th
er day fought duel to the death in a
lonely spot in the Ozark mountains
eight miles southwest of here.
Mrs. Graham's throat was cut, the
woman dying instantly, after the duel
had lasted an hour
The desperate fight was the result
of family quarrel and was carried
out in strict accordance with the for
malities Of the code
AS far as is known here, it is the
first time in the history of the coun-
try that women have participated in a
regular duel to the death
For some time there has been hard
feeling between the two women. 1t
eliminated a few days ago in meet
ing on the streets of Gainesville,
where Mrs. Graham slapped the face
Of her sister-in-law. Relatives of the
women interposed and prevented a
continuation of the fight on the street.
A short time afterward Mrs. Crab
tree sent a woman friend to the home
Of her sister-in-law with a challenge.
1t was accepted quickly and knives
were chosen as the weapons. The
time and place were agreed upon, and
the women went to the appointed
spot.
Far up on the side of the Ozark,
safe from any interference from the
Gainesville authorities, the women
met. Every possible fOrmality of the
code duello was followed out.
Two bowie knives sharpened to the
edge were produced and each woman
made her choice. Just before the two

was in good shape and fast time was
made by both horse and dogs. The
mare slipped while running on little
hillside and lost some ground.
Within three weeks another race
will be run as a consequence of the
dissatisfaction, and enough money
was in sight to-day 70 make the side

DECORATIONS FOR THE TABLE.
Numerous Designs Shown in Silver,
Cut Glass and Brass.

Candlesticks for the table may be OF
silver, cut glass, Bohemian glass or
brass. Here, again, the simpler de-
signs are the more graceful. There
are some very beautiful shapes in the
Bohemian and cut glass. Cheaper
ones, still very good in shape, come in
glass.
Shades made of cut glass or silver
over Innings of different colors are
very pretty and also very practical,
since the color can be changed SO
easily The silk shades made of imita-
ton rose petals come in all colors, and
are not expensive. Those with the
bead fringe are very pretty, but are
apt to bend the candle with their
weight. Hand painted shades are
sometimes extremely attractive, but
frequently not in good taste. The en-
pire shapes are at present highest in
favor, but certainly are not as graceful
as the more flaring shapes.-Harper' s

Belt Pins and Sashes.

Belt pins have taken the place OF
the buckles, for they are more easily
adjusted. The long chains of beads
are replaced now by the ribbon baya-
deres, slender bits of satin or ribbon
knotted and tied with pendants OF
gold, silver or semi-precious stones in
the form Of. tassels; some Of them
have tiny buckles as well, and often
they match in color and method of
tying and making the sashes, which
are another novelty of the seasons
styles.
These sashes, in turn, are heavy
with gold and silver tassels, are mar
row, looped and twisted, with a ten
dency to come from unexpected hooks
of the gown, and with the filmy shout
der scarfs give the floating fluffy eff
feet of femininity that is desirable this
year. The bayaderes may be worn
with the tailor-made suits and relieve
the stiffness.

New Colors.

The new colors are many. Apricot
is one of the leading tints for evening
wear. Lavender and some of the new
shades of blue are cunningly com
bined, but this has to be done warily
Ask any Partisan the favorite colors
and she will prefix any mentioned with
the adjective old; it must be old rose,
old blue, old mauve.
There are many shades of blue
worn, the imperial, rather dull shade,
being especially liked. Russian blue
and paper blue are other tints in
favor. Wistaria is another of the new
names for an old color, and caout-
chouc, or rubber color, kind of gray
ish mauve, is much worn in every
thing-coats, hats, gowns, even in eve
ming gowns, the trimmings relieving
the somberness.
