Bees end Fruit GROWING.

80 If you will give the bee = chance\ he
will literally break the bou5hs Of your
trees with the weight Of fruit. The
bee is the expert assistant of the
horticu turist or the farmer, and es-
pecially the orchardist. The bee, like
other insects, effects incidental polli-
nation Of flowers in its search for nee
tar, but it's great value to the fruit
grower lies in this, that it goes to the
flowers specifically to gather pollen,
literally by the car load, in the hairy
baskets on its legs Fastening from
bloom to bloom, rolling and literally
rioting in the/golden dust, pregnant
with the microscopic germs of plant
life, until the golden pellets are pask-
ed away in its hairy baskets to be
carried to the hive for storage as an
indispensable portion of the food for
its young during the winter months
to come.
1t requires an expert knowledge to
comprehend how perfectly the bee
thus performs the Office of pollination.
Indeed, it is natures chief agent in
this indispensable work No seed, no
fruit, is the universal law. Here is
the only insect useful in all its hab-
it's, having fixed habitation, accessi.
Bile to mand, dependent upon the pol
len of every variety of flower as an
indispensable portion of the bloom
specifically to gather that pollen, thus
increasing the yields of our fruit
trees and other horticultural produc-
tons.
The man who is trying to success
fully manage an orchard without the
use of bees is losing large portion
of profit which would be made avail
able by the use of the winged pollen
disseminators.-Okl Oklahoma Farmer.

MUST RISK MAKING MISTAKES.
Man Afraid of Taking Chances vii
Never Accomplish Anything.

The man whose career means deeds,
results-the man who does things
is not afraid to risk mistakes. He of
whom it can be said: HE has never
made serious error of judgment-his
record is f1awless," will be found to
be one who has done little or nothing
worth while. He is so cautious in con-
templating move that he hardly
dares to make it before it's possible eff
feet has been minimized or lost Guard
ing himself against the reproach of
public failures, he denies himself the
satisfaction of work well done. II is
his habit to study situation until the
time for action has pessed. He shrnks
from responsibility as he fsars criti-
cism. He is swayed by the supercau-
ton that goes with futile mediocrity.
The other type of man Investigates,
decides and Goes. Criticism and the
change of ridieule are ignored by him.
Between acton and hesitation he
chooses action every time. When it
comes to taking a chance or waiting
to see what will happen he takes the
chances He would rather risk a mis-
take than DO nothing He is willing
to listen to both sides and then acts
on his own judgment, welcoming the
responsibility. If he meets with fail
ure he does the best thing possible to
amend it. If he is successful he gath
ers new hope in dealing with the next
problem. That's the American spirit.

tsrides is a good horse Never buy a
horse that takes short, nervous steps
or which has a mincing gait. Such a
horse cannot stand hard work on the

What "Mercerized" Means.

From the Craftsman.
MerecrZed cotton was first intro
duced as a substitute for silk some 10
or ~ years ago. although the process
for making it was invented about 1910
by celebrated English dyer, John
Mercer. He discovered that when cot
ton, either in cloth or yarn, was sub
jected for a short time to the action of
strong caustic alkali, and then thor
oughly washed, the resulting material
was much stronger than before. had
shrunk very considerably, and had a
much greater affinity for dyestuffs.
Mercer patented his discovery and
made some use of it in calico printing,
but the process was nearly forgotten
until, in 1889, it was discovered that
by proper treatment cotton could by
this means be made so lustrous as to
compare not unfavorably with silk.
To make the cotton lustrous, the
goods, after dipping into the strong al
kali, are kept firmly stretched, and
their strong tendency to shrink resist
ed, until the alkali has been thorough
ly rinsed off and the last traces neu-
tralized with a little acid. If this is
done carefully, when finally dried the
cotton fibers will be found drawn out
smooth and lustrous, while still retain
increased dyeing power. To get good
results in this process the materials
treated, whether in yarn or cloth, must
be made of the very best and longest
stapled cotton, preferably Egyptian,
and when well done the results are ex-
tremely satisfactory. The luster is not
as good as the very best silk, but it Is
quite we'll marked, and for replacing
the cheap grades of heavily weighted
silks, as for instance, for underwear,
Innings, etc, the merceriZed goods are
Of very great value, owing to their
strength and durability, as we'll as their
cheapnesS.

PENNIES THE SLOTS CATCH.
More Than 100000 Now York Pennies
Go Into tho Machines Daily.

New York-The question so often

N the New York subway and elevated

On complaint of Darwin p. Rudd. as
tignee for the Chatham National bank.
Justice Fitzgerald, in the supreme

Stollwercks which covers every ma
rhine they control in all the stations.
fhe attachment was issued to cover a
claim of $4,000 said to be due on two
Sotes. 1t was disclosed, incidentally.
that the machines bring in daily $4,000.
which make 100000 pennies that the
New York public expends for chocolate
