THE WEARING OF THE SASH.
MANY Whims That Fashion Has In
dorsed, from Which Selection
May Be Made.

It is a pretty fashion with lingerie
dresses to thread the sash preferably
of satin), not through the tou-trou OF
our lingerie petticoats, but beneath
an incrustation of guipure or heavy
insertion of lace. This is done, one
may almost say, anywhere but at the
actual waist line itself.
At the knees the sash is often seen,
passing phase which has certain
charms, but is one of those freaks of
fashion which is annoying as the sash
catches the skirt as the wearer walks.
1t is bad art into the bargain, as 1t
is meaningless there. However, it
makes a change, and there is thread
ed through folds of the draperies or
even arranged so that the draperies
droop over it in curtainlike folds,
passing beneath them to be tied in a
bow at the back very low down with
ends but little longer than the loops.
On lingerie frocks it is pretty
within to drape the sash from one
shoulder leaving it half concealed un-
til it ties in bow beneath the waist
at one side like the ribbon of an or
der. From Paris also we get the re-
turn of the sash knotting in rosette
at one side of the waist, with long
pendant ends close fitting and really
a waistband at last.

AS STRAIGHT MEN SEE HIM.
The Dead-Beat is Probably the Most
Despised Creature That Walks
the Earth.

No man is wholly free from sin, but
so many lesser evils are tolerated that
a man should hesitate long before be
coming a dead-beat. Criminals are de-
spised and abhorred, but to the dead
beat all that is coming, as we'll as the
contempt of his fellow men. There is
something at once so mean and SO lit
tie in taking advantage of the conf
dence which comes with friendship
that the hand of every man is turned
against dead-beat as soon as his
reputation is well established. The
dead-beat may fondly imagine he is
living easy and making money with
out work, and, of course, he takes no
account of the confidence he violates
and the hardships he inficts on 9TH
ers. But, that aside, he really has
harder time than the man who is
honest and fair. He is compelled to
move good deal, and peace of mind
he knows not. Like other types of
crooks, he doesn't prosper, and his
finish is more unpleasant than the be-
ginning. Globe.

HOW TO BEGIN WITH BEES
There Are Several Ways to Start, Such
as Buying Hive from Neighbor, or
with Nucleus.

am reminded that some who would
keep a few bees have none to start
with and would welcome little light
in that direction. All right; but you
would better be careful how you mon
key with bees unless you want life
time job, for, like photography, once a
a person gets a good start it is almost
impossible to quit. There are several
ways to start, such as buying full
hive from some one who advertises,
or just buying nucleus or two, which
are little hives of bees just started.
Or one might probably buy from a
neighbor who had few bees to spare
/ would prefer to get them in movable
frame hives, or, if in the old-fashioned
kind, get them cheap and transfer
comb bees and all into movable
frames. At any rate, two or three
will be enough for the beginner until
he acquires experience.
Of course 1 know that they can be
kept sometimes to little advantage
in boxes and kegs, but would COM
pare such a procedure to narrowing
with brushy sapling instead of using
a good disk harrow. In fact, If you
are going to keep bees in a box or
key. it is waste of time to read up
on any present-day methods, as the
method will not permit of much ex-
animation or handling.-B. D. Thomas.

bore six three-eighth-inch holes
through the top bars, as shown in the
Illustration. These holes should be a
little nearer the lower edge Of the top
bar than the upper edge. There should
be saw-cut in the lower edge of the
top bar deep enough to extend half
way through the holes, as shown.
Then when the foundation is slipped
into this saw-kerf it may be quickly
fastened by punching round piece of
wood or metal into all of the holes,
giving it twisting motion to fold over
the edge of that part of the foundation
extending into the hole.

CARING FOR THE INCUBATOR.
Needs Constant Attention as Tempera.
ture Dropes or Rises; Eggs Also
Need Turning, and Wick Trimming.

This is not like dish washing, a job
that can be passed successfully from
one member of the family to another,
as convenience dictates. To secure
the best results, it is better, if posi-
BILE, that one person take the entire
charge of it, says the Farm Journal.
Those who think it can be run like
a clock, simply wound and then never
thought of until the next time for
winding, will find out their error in
an expensive manner. While the i'm
proved machines require comparative
ly little attention, yet a certain
amount is essential. and this must be
given in an intelligent manner.
1t does not take many days for the
attendant TO be able to approximate
Just about what the machine is doing
and needs at certain time in the day.
If the weather is warm and it is in
fuenced either by a stove or the sun,
the lamp may need lowering atIttle
during this period. Or if the tempera-
ture drops, a corresponding increase
of artificial heat will be required.
These become almost intuitive serV-
ices to the one who has observed the
changes from day to day; yet to an
other member of the family, even
though instructed on the point, they

Turning and airing the eggs, too,
should be done in a regular way. The
trimming of the wick slightly different
may destroy the equilibrium of tenn

Finally, it is not so much skill as re-
liability which counts. To the one
accustomed to its care, duty calls at
regular intervals; others may forget,
or remembering, be over jealous, and

Arranuinu Pansies,

These little flowers, loved by most
women, are most beautiful as table or
naments. but they must be carefully
arranged to display their real beauty.
There are numerous screens intended
to be placed in dishes, that will hold
these flowers UP in their natural posi-
ton, but when one has no brass or
silver screen, one can be made with
wire netting. Draw out few pieces
of the wire, to make the meshes large
and thrust the stems into the holes.
Another way is to cut the stems rath-
er short and mingle them in a fat
dish with fancy moss. The moss sup
ports the flowers, so that each can
raise it's tiny face as 1t grew.

"EGG-A-DAY" LAYING HEN.
Experiments Show the Egg Yield May
Be Greatly Increased by scien-

BY 3. (. Lara.


Poultry raisers in the United States
are greatly indebted to the thorough
ness Of the tests made at our expert
ment stations for a great many i'm
portant improvements in every
branch of the poultry industry.
These experimental farms have
proved beyond doubt that by syste-
matte feeding and scientific breeding
of hens the latter can be made to
greatly increase their number of eggs
and also improve the richness and
weight of the same, thereby raising
their market value.
The gratifying success thus far at
tanned by experiments in the way of
increasing the reproducing quail
ties of certain breeds of hens has
made breeders hopeful of securing
still greater achievements along the
same line in the near future.
Perhaps to no state in the union is
due a greater credit than to Maine

for the improvement and betterment
generally in poultry raising.
Prof George @. Gowell, who died
Last summer, engaged in this inter
esting and profitable work and his
discoveries influencing the hens won
derful production of eggs are claiming
earnest attention in every section of
the country.
A summary of the results of a Sc
ries of experiments shows that of
some 1000 hens placed under observa-
ton for longer or shorter periods
about 20 had laid more than 200 eggs
apiece in year, while two hens, both
of Plymouth Rock breed, and both
marked according to standard regula-
tions, have stood out so conspicuous
ly for their performances that they
may be counted among the most
profitable fowls in this country, il not
in the world.
The special pet of Prof Gowell's
heart, and the bird which has demon
strated the successfulness of his un-
firing efforts and discoveries to make
hens produce a larger and better quail
ity of eggs, yielded 251 eggs the first
year. She would be regarded as of
the egg type by those people who pro-
fess to tell the egg-yielding capacity
of hens by their forms and markings
A number of other hens yielded 24O,
238 and 235 eggs each for the year,
not one, however, producing less than
200
Prof. Gowelps methods of selecting
breeding stock for high egg produc-
ton are to save the eggs from the
hens of greatest egg yield and hatch
chicks from those.
BY so doing his experimental pens
are now filled with pullets and cock
erels the ancestors of which came
from stock that had given 200 or more
eggs in year.

Refining a Jacket.

Quite the easiest way to refine a
jacket, which is regarded as such a
problem by the average amateur dress
maker, is to rip out one-half of the
Jacket lining for a pattern, cut COM
plete lining by this, leaving the other
half attached to the jacket as guide.
Sew the lining together, leaving the
under arm seams open. Now haste
in one half, fitting it smoothly along
the front and bottom of the jacket,
then rip out the other half of the lin
ing and haste in the same way. Hem
the new lining all around the bottom,
neck, and front. Any fullness will
go into the armholes and under the
arm seams, which should be sewed
last of all. Cut the sleeves from the
old lining and attach at top. Be sure
to have the lining a little larger than
the sleeves so as to allow plenty of
room at the elbow.

Holes should be made at each side
and a straight piece of wire thrust
through them. The hopper is now
ready to be filled.
A good feed to put in the hopper
consists of equal parts of cracked corn
and oats. The chicks soon know
where the hopper is and when they
are hungry they go to it and fill up.
1 find that hopper fed chicks grow
