Timely Bee Notes.

It Is the veriest folly to try to winter
over a weak colony, for 1t is almost
sure to perish, and for this and other
reasons unite two or more such col
onies to give sufficient bees to insure
warmth, etc. Just throw them tOgeth-
er in one hive, queens and all. and let
the bees. fight it out themselves as to
which queen shall sway the sceptsr OF
power.
It Is a mooted question as to whether
the entrance of the hives should be con-
tracted where bees are to be wfntered
out Of doors. Many experts consider 1t
best to contract the entrances A shin
gle or other piece of wood can be used
for this purpose. 1t should be so tack
ed over the entrance Of the hive as to
allow the colony an outlet Of one to
two inches.

Words Objected To.

The first two indignities alleged are

which the bride is required to repeat,
and the question put by the minister,
who giveth this woman to be mar
ried to this man?" One of the RENE
dies suggested for both is the omission
Of the words, the alternative is that
the bridegroom be required to promise
to ''obey and serve her" and that the
minister also ask. "Who giveth this
man to be married to this woman?"
Three indignities surround the mar
riage ring and the bridegroom's accom-
panying declaration. THE words, with
all my worldly goods ! thee endow,'
have never been true" says the man
ifesto. The government is urged TO
drop the ring ceremony and its formula
or to enforce an exchange of rings and
the use of formula containing mo
economic falsehoods or moral offense."
Humiliation No. Z" is the minister's
pronouncement that the couple shall
be man and wife together. The impli-
cation complained of is that "the wom-
an is wholly wife and the man not
wholly husband"
Protesting that the first of the
Psalms addresses itself wholly to the
bridegroom, the league demands it's
omission or that it be supplemented by
another addressed to the wife.
The petition that the man shall love
his wife as Christ the church is an
appalling humiliation of woman and
a pernicious exaltation of man." says
the manifesto.
The thirteenth indignity is quoting
st. Paul's words: Wives, submit your
selves unto your husbands as unto the
Lord, for the husband is the head of
the wife, even as Christ is the head of
the church"
The league strenuously opposes the
idea of the husband being the head of
the wife and suggests Husbands,
also submit yourselves unto your
wives" as a supplement to this second
exhortation to the wife,

Failure of Plans.

A plot Of the suffragettes to blow up
the grand stand of Crystal palace the
day of the football cup final was dis
closed by newspaper. 1t shows that
the plans were arranged secretly with
military precision.

litical union Is a militant corps, the
names of the members Of which are
designated by number, and on a type
written document the duties of each
member for particular occasions are
set forth.
In the present case certain members
were to rent two empty houses near
the palace. Others were to study the
district and the movements of the DO
lice and report. Still others were as
signed to get ''the fireworks ready
and to arrange for the scaling of the
fences, and finally three members were
designated to set bombs, while another
was ordered to turn In false alarm

Amend Parcel Post Law.

Among the inequalities of the
parcel post law is one-excluding
books and printed matter from its
use-they still have to pay by the
ounce almost as much as more ia
vored articles do by the pound.
The author of the bill recognizes
the injustice and is proffering an
amendment to remedy it. The ex-
press companies will carry books
as cheaply as the post department,
which by the discrimination puts
a tax on knowledge. Surely if
sausage, brick and such things
can go by mail, books should.
They are much easier to handle
and occupy less space for their
weight.

IDLE THOUGHT.

There are days for idle dreaming
When the world is void and still
And the morrows promise tenure
OF the yielding, placid will;
When the present holds no shadows
And the past is vague and far;
When the heart forgets its brusings
And the wounds betray no scar.
There are idle days unnumbered
When the vision is CENTRALIZED,
When the hearing lists to voices
That in former days have called
And renewed in timely musings
To repeat in phrase and tone
What must come to waken power
In the realm of dreams alone.
There are idle days and moments
When an inspiration flares,
In ambitions name to quicken
Thoughts that haunt us unawares,
And they pass beyond the yearning
To fulfillment and the end;
Had one idle moment faltered
Time could not its loss amend.

Life worth living? You can bet
Spite of all its woe and fret.

There's the fun of being old,

There's the fun of dreaming, too,
And of making dreams come true;
There's the fun of sun and rain
And of respite after pain;
There is friendship, there is love

Laughter, music, light and mirth
