while. 1t may as we'll be admitted,
however, that for all its advantages
there are few occupations that require
more study to insure success than
does bee keeping. In years when the
available nectar is limited. surplus
honey is secured only by judicious
manipulation. and 1t is only through
considerable experience that the bee
keeper can, under such circumstances,
carry out the proper manipulation TO
save his crop.
All authorities on the subject en-
phasize the fact. that the only way to
make bee keeping profitable bust
ness is to obtain naught but the first
class product-fancy comb honey or
carefully prepared and neatly packed
extracted honey. Under good manage
ment the average annual honey yield
per colony will probably be 25 to 80
pounds OF comb honey, or 40 to so
pounds of extracted honey. Such
yields can be expected only, however.

Another side line that has gained in favor in

the raising of squads for the market that has de-

short of madness. And fanatics there
will be, as of old, who will attempt to
throw themselves to destruction I'M
der the murderous wheels, as volun-

year, as for many years past, British
civil officers will be on hand to pre-
vent any act of suicide.
Hindus believe that to gain the ia
vor of Juggernaut opens for them the
gates of heaven. Therefore, in the
days before the British occupation of
India, natives occasionally cast their
bodies under the car to be crushed to
a pulp, the belief being that such self
immolation speedily would be reward
ed by entrance into Paradise.
The car is 43 feet high. Its wheels
are each more than six feet high. A
wooden cage around the top, an addi-
ton of recent years, keeps fanatics
from jumping upon the car in the hope
of looking upon their idol within. Body
and wheels are of wood beautifully
sculptured and inlaid, and for the fes-
tival the car is draped with gold cloth

Daughter-inlaw No. L, buxom, won

Gus and unfilial children. Technically,
this shield is known as the Division
of Domestic Relations, Department of
Public Charities In simpler phrase,
it is the court of appeal for every
father and mother, whose children re-

writes Anna Steese Richardson in the
New York World.
Through it's doors, day after day,
files a line of enfeebled, decrepit,
penniless, hopeless humanity pleading
for a corner in which they may await
the coming of the grim reaper, just a
little corner, a little warmth, little
raiment, little food. And after them
files another line of the next genera
ton, some of them sul1en, some of
them hard, some of them ashamed,
but all of them guilty of deliberately
Sinking their responsibilities as chill

Some of the most able social work
ers on Father Knickerbocker's pay
roll are employed in this division of
domestic relations. Their work re-
