All Preliminary Work should Do
Done at Leisure TImee-Be Care
tui Not to Spill Sweets.
By F. @. HERMAN.)


The wide-awAke farmer does not
wait until his bees have swarmed and
are clustering on q tree-top before he
thinks OF preparing q hive for them.
All preparatory work, such a. making
and painting hives. wiring brood
frames and getting the section boxes
ready for the anticipated honey crop
should be done at leisure times during
the dull period on the farm before the
rush OF other work takes place.
How easy 1t will be to manage
dozen or more colonies of bees this
summer II everything IL set in readi
ness.
For instance, II Z swarm issues Il

to take the hive from the barn and

you have on hand a few hundred sec

1t was three a. m. in one OF the
Broadway lobster palaces. Three
youths were seated at one of the
tables. They had just ordered AN
other bottle" OF the bubble water.
Two of them were hilarious and one
broke into song. Il tell you what
I'll do said the third, who was the
soberest OF the three, 'Tll challenge
any OF you to a game OF ti-tat-to on
the condition that you go home II 4
beat you" You're on" said one of
the g1lded youths. The necessary dia-
gram was drawn on the tablecloth and
the game started At the end of the
seventh play the sober one cried tit
tat-to' and pointed to the three KS.
The gilded youth studied them for
moment. Then he and his pal rose to
their feet and he, extending his hand.
said: Sir, | congratulate you; you're
a better man than | am" And true
to their agreement they disappeared
through the revolving doors. And per-
haps father did not receive hurry

He Could Bluff. Too.

There are lot of fourflushers who
go through life without learning that
fourilushing is a fine art. Such are
beneath contempt. But one has great
admiration for those few who have
mastered the game.
If man called me a liar. assert
ed one of such. I'D sail in and lick
him, if he weighed three hundred
pounds"
Well. you big bluff. answered one
who was tired of listening, Il call
you, right here and now You're q
liar!"
Bluff, Yourself" came back the ar
fist, without a minutes hesitation
You don't weigh more than one-fifty

Shooting Civilians.

According to the laws of war, any
civilian who is found with arms In
his possession is liable to be shot
without mercy. Although this seems
a very severe rule, II is absolutely nee
essary for the safeguarding Of the
whole civil population.
The rules OF war say that no men
will be recognized as combatants un-
less they wear distinguishing badge,
which can be easily recognized II 1t
were not for this, any number of men
could at any time band themselves
together, and say they we're belliger-
ents. II this were allowed, therefore,
invading troops would safeguard them
selves against surprises by killing
every man in villages through which
they marched.
This particular rule Is SO stringent
that even q noncombatant who took
up arms to defend his wife against
some drunken soldier would be liz BILE
to be shot

One of the many duties undertaken
by the United States coast and geo.
detic survey, which furnishes oflcial
information about our sea coast and
harbors for the use Of mariners plying
these waters, is that of predicting the
tides at any given station at any time
In the future. To gain this informa-
ton a new machine of very compli-
Gated nature has just been constructed
by the bureau and placed in operation
in the headquarters at Washington.
The tide levels for year can be OBJ
tanned in from ten to fifteen hours for
any station. To the layman the ma
chine appears to be a mass of little
wheels, knobs, cranks. chains and
glittering brass indicators but the
new superintendent of the bureau, DR..
e. Lester Jones. explains the functions
of each part and finally arrives at the
roll of paper on one end on which two
fountain pens are drawing lines. One
of these draws line about the middle
of the roll which represents the mean
sea level while the the other draws a
varying line which represents the
tide. From this graphic record,
which is $40 feet long and about six
inches wide. representing the tides for
a year, the tide level at any time In
that period can be readily ascertained

dairymen have special room in
which to take the COW for milking
This room Ia kept freer from bacteria
than is possible in the general stable
This Is a very good plan. but 1t Is not

The mixer is often the source of
some OF the most dangerous bacteria
found in milk. especially germs which
produce contagious diseases. Milk

the milkman, and = whole neighbor-

there can be no doubt as to the re-

1t is transitory and must fail, but the
passive unresistance of the body, while
the emancipated mind and spirit pur-
sue their undertaking course, against
this He knew no earthly power can pre-
vail; and his chiefest saints, st. Fran
els, George Fox, and their unconquer-
able train, have never ceased to preach
and to believe it. Complete self sacri-
flee has been their perfect victory. But
for Christ the war of the soul was no
figure of speech. Agony and bloody
sweat came over Him, not because He
feared Gethsemane, but because He
wrestled with temptation. No Virile
feeling which ever reused warrior or
patriot was absent from his soul. He
fought. and He died fighting. When the
street preacher OF the Salvation Army
calls up the devil, horned and hoofed,
into his presence, and then attacks him
with clenched fists and shouts of bat
tie, he is making to his audience the SUI
preme appeal. Cannot we, to whom
such illusion is but childishness, spir-
itualize that recourse, and, when need
calls, spend, like the race Of conquerors,
the last reserve Of our souls energy?
Only thus can we meet the final argu-
ment of war. Only thus can we win
the last desire of the brave and good
peace with honor.

Barber Shop Musings.
From the Atlantic.

To the BARRIERS soothing snip, snip
snip and the gentle tug OF the comb
1 dreamed OF the barber shop OF my
boyhood, and OF Clarke Parker's In
particular. Clarkie's shop was in
Lyceum hall block, one flight up-a
huge room, with a single green up
holstered BARRIERS chair between the
windows, where you could sit and
watch the town go by below you. The
room smelled pungently Of bay rum.
Barber shops don't smell Of bay rum
any more. Around two sides were
ranged many chairs and an old leather
couch. The chair arms were smoth
and black with the rubbing OF inhum-
cradle hands and elbows, and behind
them, making a dark line along the
wall, were the marks where the heads
OF the sitters rubbed as they tilted
back. Nor can forget the spittoons-
large, shallow boxes, two feet square
four Of them. full OF sand. On @ third
side of the room stood the basin and
water-taps, and beside them a large
black walnut cabinet, full OF shelves.
The shelves were full OF mugs. and on
every mug was q name, In gilt letters,
generally Old English. Those mugs
mugs were a town directory OF our
leading citizens. My fathers mug was
on the next to the top shelf, third from
the end on the right. The sight Of 1t
used to thrill me, and at IL began
surreptitiously to feel my chin, to see
II there were any hope Of my achieving
q mug in the not too distant future.

LOGIC AS HE UNDERSTOOD 1T
Arthur Could Marshal Many Good
Reasons Why He Should Not
Attend School,

As young Arthur was now SIX, his
parents decided that 1t was time he
went to school Arthur had other
views on the subject, and these views
were in direct opposition to those held
by the older, people.
In short, Arthur refused pointblank
TO go within mile and half Of any
school.
Father threatened dire punishment;
mother held out dreary prospect Of
tamless meals, even grandmother-the
most kindly OF mortals and a great
friend of Arthur's-even she deserted
him and talked about disseminating
the weekly bag of sweets. This was a
great blow to the young rebel. but he
stuck to his guns.
At last grandmother decided to
make one last effort to soften mis-
heart.
Now, Arthur dear, why can't you
be a nice, sensible boy and go to
school like the other children" she
asked. h'
"Tll tell you why, grandma" he re-
torted, Indignantly. II can't read an
! can't write; I can't draw an can't
sing! So what's the good of me going
to school, should like to know"

SYRUP OF figs FOR

II Is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose mother insisted
on - castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form Of
DAysic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little '1nsides" are
injured by them.

bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup OF Figs" Its
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
OF mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take 1t; that # never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
On the stomach, and that teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.

OF all ages and for grown-ups plainly

RUSSIAN WAR PRISON
10 VAST FROZEN PLAIN

Ono small squad of Russian soldiers
is serving as the guard for 100.o0 Aus
TRAN and German prisoners, whose
prison walls consist OF 1000 miles Of
frozen steppes, separating them from
the borders OF their own countries.
These prisoners are interned at Semi
palatinsk, on the Irish river, near the
borders OF Western Mongolia. They
were brought by rail to Omsk, where
they were embarked on steamboats, for
the 1.000-mile trip down the Irish riv-
er to Semipalatinsk. Here splendid
quarters were found In the big bar
racks erected for the mobilization OF
the Russian army and unoccupied since
It's departure for the front
Every morning at 8 o'clock the pris-
oners are released from the barracks
and permitted to wander about at will.
When they depart in the morning they
are told that unless they report at the
barracks by nightfall they will be
locked out, and at this time Of the year
in that bleak country this would mean
certain death, as there are practically
no places where they could obtain
shelter. The freedom Of the prisoners
during the day is absolute, even to the
extent OF accepting employment from
local mining companies.
The problem Of caring for the Ger
man and Austrian prisoners in Rus
STA is already becoming acute, as the
number increases and the Russian gov
eminent probably will welcome any
plan which will enable the prisoners to
be self supporting. An attache OF the
Russian government, now in London.

About the Terrible Turk"

The popular western conception OF
the Turkish army is something in the

homicidal mania. But nowhere in Tur-
key viii you find such q conception real

regulars are singularly plain, unpictur-
esque unpretentious soldiery. On their
heads they wear either gray bashlyks
wound turbanwise, or plain fezes or
"kalpaks" OF a yellowish brown color
corresponding to their German made
uniforms of rough. wooden cloth. Their
legs are wound in a bulky way with
the same material In Turkish concep-
