OF course in all sorts of businesses
preparations have TO be made in add
vance. Clothing for winter wear is
made up in summer, summer clothing IS
made in winter. In many lines the
planning is done year ahead, as it is,
for example, in looking after the supply
of goods required for the Christmas
trade. No sooner are the holidays over
than buyers go abroad to hunt up novel
ties in Europe and to put into the way
of realization ideas that they take with
them, all designed for the trade Of the
next Christmas holidays. 1t takes time
to make the goods, time to import them
and time to distribute them and geb
them ready finally for sale. Jobbers
here begin to put in their orders for
Christmas goods six or eight months
ahead, in the spring.
Such has long been the custom in pre-
pairing for the holiday trade, a custom
brought to mind just now when most
people are thinking only of going away

A MONTE CARLO EPISODE.
Wealthy Englishman Succeeds in Break
ing the Bank"

Every now and .hen public attention
is attracted by some particularly heavy
gain or loss at the tables of Monte Car
10. The latest hero Of the Riviera is
Huntley Walker, u wealthy Englishman,
we'll known as a racing motorist
The night before last he won $4,000,
and last night in little over two hours
play he won Il further sum of 100000.
The table at which he was playing had
to suspend operations for few min
utes TO rcplenish its exhausted reserves,
and thus Mr.. Walker in the accepted
parlance of the rooms. broke the bank.
One of the Casinos officials, speaking
of the run, said there was nothing ex-
traordinary about ii, as ANY one play
ing, as Mr.. Walker always did, in maxi
NUNS. must very quickly either win or
lose large amount In spite of his
luck on lfese two occasions, Mr.. Walk
ers experiences only prove the truth of
the old saying, Red gains sometimes,
black gains sometimes. but Blanc al
ways gains''-Mr. Blanc of course be-
ing the proprietor of the famous gam
bling rooms.

SUPPLY OF ARMY HORSES.
Not Equal to Demand in England
French and German Stables.

The adequate supply of horses for the
army, it would scarcely be denied, is as
essential to its efficiency as men and
guns. Yet in this vital particular the
government, as in so many other ques
tons relative to the defense Of the coun-
try. have utterly failed to realize their
responsibilities.
Sir Gilbert Parker is raising the point
in one of its important aspects next
week in the House of Commons. lie has
given notice to call the attention of the
secretary of state for war to the fact
that German agents are extensively buy
ing 3-year-old horses suitable for army
purposes in England, Ireland and
Wales.
There is no use Disgusting the fact"
said an expert on English horse breed
ing. that the country is rapidly being
denuded of its best horses, and the posi-
ton is becoming acute.
1T is a regulation of the war office
that horses shall not be bought under
4 years old. This is the foreigner
chance. Not only the Germans, but
practically every continental country, has
agents bent on securing, the very pick
of the available 3-year-olds. They pur-
chase especially young mares, which of
course do not return to this country.
They are, therefore, reducing both III
quality and number the supply of 4-year-
oldS obtainable by the home authorities.
The German and French governments
realize the value of a plentiful supply.
They have their own government breed
ing establishments and encourage horse
breeding by subsidy. | believe France
pays something like 10000 francs year
in this respect Then they take care
that only good stations are employed.
THE principal causes of the alarming
scarcity-for | am convinced If war
broke cut tOmorrow-Me have not sui
tcient supply for the army-are the I'M
precendented buying of young horses by
foreign agents, the fact that farmers are
more anG more giving up the breeding
of horses, the increase in mechanical
traction. and the heavy demand for
horses during the late South African
Mar."-Pall Mall Gazette.

Water for the Bees.

If there is no running stream or

Bees use water to dilute the heavy,
thick honey left over from winter to
make 1t suitable for the young larvae
and also to make the cell wax pilable
Bees should be protected from the
