TO SERVE SUMMER DRINKS
Dainty Sets Of Iced Tea and Other
Drinks Are Now Found
In Shops.

The shopkeepers are not slow TO
realize that well-appointed services for
iced tea viii tempt the housekeeper
who wishes to serve II correctly. Even
II she does not indulge in a whole set.
she longs for at least set of glasses
or a set of iced tea spoons.
The set contains, first OF all, an iced
teapot, which is shaped like tall.
narrow teapot, and is made Of glass,
with silver mountings. A lemon dish,
sugar dish and bucket for cropped
ices are made to match. The iced tea
glasses are made of fairly heavy glass,
with handles attached we'll toward the
bottom
A set consisting of heavy Cister-
clan walnut tray, an iced teapot. an

er and six glasses. all In etched glass
with silver mountings. and six sterling
silver iced tea spoons cost over 500
A similar set In Colonial glass costs
$50.
The set can be broken. however.
The Colonial glasses cost, for half a
dozen. $3.50. The spoons. which are
long and graceful and may be used for
other cold drinks as well. cost $3.50
a dozen In sterling silver. In the best
quality of plated silver they cost from
$3.50 to So dozen. They are almost
a necessity for the summer hostess,
who realizes the inadequacy of the
short teaspoon for thu tall iced tea

TIFs ON MAKING ICED TEA
Two Methods, Both Of Which Have
Their opponents, Are Fully
Explained.

There is probably no drink more re-
freshing and certainly none that can
be more attractively served than iced
tea. II can be made before'it is need
ed and kept on hand. always chilled,
In the ice box, or It can be made at a
moments notice. provided there is
plenty OF ice. plenty of fresh boiling
water and the right sort of tea at
hand.
There are two methods OF making
iced tea. and both have their expon-
ents. One says to put cracked ice in
glass and then put In a slice or so
OF lemon. and. If sweetness is liked.
sufficient number Of humps OF sugar.
Then make tea, rather strong. with
freshly boiling water. After the wa
ter has stood on the grounds for four
or five minutes. pour the tea on the
Ice. A safeguard against broken
glasses is to put spoon in each glass.
The spoon serves as a conductor Of
heat.
The other method for making iced
tea is more economical, for. according
to II, the tea is made and poured into
a big bottle, fruit jar OF covered jug
o. pitcher. when It is sufficiently
strong. and then stood in the ice box
until 1t is thoroughly chilled. Slices
of lemon and sugar can be added be-
fore or after 1t is served. aud little
chopped ice adds not only to the deli
ciousness. but also to the sound of the
tea-and nothing is more suggestive
of refreshment when the mercury is
climbing than the sound of tinkling
ice and glass

Is done by frightening them with
smoke. When smoke is driven into a
hive through the entrance the bees
at once begin filling themselves with
honey.
But with them. as with human be.
ings. it is the most experienced which
are slowest, to take fright. so when
the old bees are all at home tits more
difficult and takes more time to com
pei them all to fill themselves.
For this reason 1t is much safer TO
handle bees during the warmest part
of the day. or at time when the
greater part of the old bees are in
the field
The bees which compose a swarm
are usually flied with honey for the
journey which they expect TO take and
they are harmless unless crushed or
very much irritated by the anger of
others and the smell of the poison.
1t is not absolutely necessary to
smoke the colony OF bees till all the
bees fill themselves with honey in or
der to handle them safely. but 1t is
certainly the safest method.
An expert may open hive without
smoke and without danger and may
handle the combs and return theu TO
tho hive without getting a single sting
by being quiet, steady and fearless.
II is fact that the fearless apiarist
may often be entirely unframed while
others a rod away may be stung by
the very bees which his manipulations
anger.
His quiet. determined demeanor is
his safeguard. while the uninitiated
strike n; the angry bees until they are
stung
When you wish to open a hive of
bees II YOU wish to be perfectly safe.
arm yourself with a smoker cover
your head with a veil and step boldly
TO the front Of the hive; send the
smoke through the opening for half
e minute. then stop and repeat the op.
Grafton after another half minute, or
until they make a steady hum, which
will show that they have given up the
desire to fight.
Then open the hive. smoke gently
and you may lift the combs one after
another
Many people have kept bees but did
not succeed ON account of the worm
moth. but worms very rarely. If ever
destroy a colony OF bees in normal
condition.

Great Defense.

So the public prosecutor. slieving

with just a few perfunctory re-
marks.
Then. in a quiet, conversational
tone, the famous McSweeney began to
talk to the jury. He made no men-

The extension of bee culture as a
means of adding to the income has
been rapidly going on since it was
demonstrated that bees could be man

Bee culture requires no outlay for
land upon which TO raise crops. for as

of the soil, but gives to it one OF the
greatest fertilizers known, the clovers.

spot on which to place the hives.
Ii is easy to handle bees when you
know how. Undoubtedly a bee-keeper
often gets stung; 1t would be useless
to deny it and it is scarcely consoling
to novice to tell him he will get used
TO being stung; but after a time a
beekeeper really does become inocu.

mentary pain may be sharp. there are
no disagreeable after effects, such as
swelling, etc.
The fear OF stings think prevents
many from liking the work and yet.

veil and working only in the warm
part of the day and never when
cloudy. rainy or cold. and with the use
of a good smoker, one need rarely be
stung.
Avoid quick motions, do not breathe
supon them and If there are other bees
flying about In search of plumber do
not leave the hive open too long.
In case OF accidents the smoker
should be used freely and ii ought to
be at hand for any manipulation in
the apiary. 1t is much easier to pre-.
vent the anger of bees than to stop Il
