VEILS ARE NOT HURTFUL. Latent Dictum Snya They May De Worn lvltli Impunity by Any Who Fancy Them. Much has been said about the harm fulness of veils. They have been charged with responsibility for the headaches that so frequently anlict femininity; they have been accused of making the girls cross-eyed and near-sighted; they have been com pelled to bear the blame for all the blotches that on occasions disfigure the complexion. They have especially called forth the disapproval of the physician and the animadversion of the oculist. This fact, however, has never interfered with the wearing of these filmy beautifiers. There are some women who decline to wear dotted veils; there are a few who refuse to wear veils of any kind, but the great majority of them would as soon go out of doors without a col lar as without a veil. Some of these enthusiasts have been collecting stat istics, and they are triumphant. Men never wear veils, they say, except in the deserts, where dust storms are frequent, and yet men habitually re sort to the use of glasses at an earlier age than women. They likewise call attention to the fact that women habitually do fine needlework and em b. oidery, which is far more trying to the eyes than fhe work of the average man could possibly be. In regard to the statement that veils are injurious to the complexion, these women argue that not only does a veil keep the dust out of the pores, but it protects the tender cuticle from the effects of wind and sun, >nd so prevents wrinkles and retards the in evitable darkening of the skin by the march of time. That a filmy bit of silk tissue or lace can heat the skin and cause it to be covered with a sticky moisture is, they declare, im possible. That it can interfere with the circulation is also extremely un / likely. And so madam, secure in the panoply of her own observation and experience, calmly proceeds to tie a fresh veil over her pretty face and go on her conquering way.—Chicago Chronicle. BIG SWARM OF BEES. Hived In nn Extraordinary Way by a Lady Who Evidently Knnni No Fear. Bees are easy enough to handle if you understand how to manage them. In the accompanying picture is shown a whole swarm, gathered upon a tree branch, which a ladv (in Washington, D. C.) is coolly putting into a hive. She will encourage them to enter by brushing them with the feather which she holds in her right hand. The bees could sting the lady to death in five minutes, if they took a notion to do so, Scientists say that HIVING A BIQ SWARM. the poison of a honey bee is probably r ense and as deadly as that of a rattlesnake, though the quantity se creted by a single individual is too small to cause any injury beyond a painful swelling. Many stings, how ever, are dangerous, and have often been known to destroy the life of a human being. These are Carniolan bees, an im ported race from Austria, which are very gentle. If they are not rough ly treated they never fhink of sting ing anybody.—N. Y. Herald. 112 Men Wlio Shonldn't Marry. M. Max O'ltell thinks, on the whole, that the literary man and the art ist ought not to marry. "I have come across hundreds of cases," he says, "where artists and literary ef forts have been checked? and some times killed outright, by the petty cares and worries of domestic life. The brain worker is easily irked anJ tormented by the most trivial things. He is irritable and most sensitive. I have known literary men to put right oft' their work for days simply because devoted women came into their studies, and after giving them an encouraging kiss, carried off their pens to make out their washing list." SoftenliiK Water with Horn*. Soften the water you use for wash ing your face and hands in by a half cupful of solution of borax, made by dissolving half a pouud of borax in a gallon of water. This may be di luted at will. Keep a bottle of the borax water on the washstand ready for constant use. Be sure to get re fined, powdered borax of good quality for this purpose. There is much stuff sold as borax wh'ch has no right to the same. A GIRL IN BUSINESS. She Spent All Her Prospective Profits LOOK llcfore Actual lietnrna lie- Kan to Come lu. It was agreed that Aramintha should have the chicken money. if they were going l to live in the sub urbs, father argued, they might as well have the privileges of the coun try. What could be more healthful than a nice, fresh, new-laid egg for one's breakfast? Father fairly reveled in the outlook. "Further," he said, discoursing on. the subject to his wife's relatives, "I believe in a girl learning business methods. She couldn't begin too early to learn the value of money and how to make it as well as spend it. If I had 12 daughters they should all be taught in the same practical, common sense school. Give Aramintha th» "THEY ARE SHABBY," AGREED MOTHER. chickens to attend to and let the fam ily buy their eggs and young frys of her at the market price. Then let Ara mintha handle her own money and buy her own clothes." Aramintha was delighted with the arrangement and entered into the plan with enthusiasm. As she explained, a girl needs so many things it is a nui sance to have to bother her parents about; so the chicken business started with the unanimous consent of the household. One day Aramintha was found mournfully staring at the parlor cur* tains. "They are shabby," agreed mother "And we won't put up with them an other season!" exclaimed Aramintha. "We'll have new ones; I'll get them myself out of the chicken money." No one could object, so the new cur tains were purchased. This began it. A new hammock, new covers for the 24 cushions, new rugs for the front step, an extra trip to Chicago every bargain day, a new Gainsborough, extra hot-weather gowns, all were accounted for by the chicken money. No extravagance was counted an extravagance if the chick en money paid for it. Had those brown leghorns laid eggs of gold their purchasing power could not have been greater than it was un der Aramintha's elastic touch; it be came so great that at last father called for a statement. "Those chickens of yours beat the board of trade. I'm seriously thinking of retiring and devoting all my time and money to chickens, with you as manager. How goes it, anyway?" Aramintfia proceeded to get out her books. "You see, father," she explained, sweetly and lucidly, "here it all is: Started chicktn business May 1 with 20 hens. Each hen to set on 13 eggs makes 260 chickens. Two hundred and sixty chickens at 26 cents apiece. JCS. Hens lay through summer, l.SOOeggs. Eggs sell at 20 cents a dozen (fresh one» are higher), S3O. "You see that comes to about SIOO by fall, and —" "But, Aramintha, it is not Septem ber yet; the summer is just spring. And what allowance have you made for chicken feed and chickens that do not hatch, and so on? Does your chicken yard live up to these books?" "I —I haven't kept any account of the chicken yard. I didn't see the use of keeping two accounts," she an swered, in an injured tone. Now father declares there is no use trying to pound business sense into a girl's head, if he had 12 daughters he would give them an allowance, but he would expect to be wrecked in a year if they were all in business.—Chicago Daily iN'ews. The Hair In Hot W enther. Oil the head at night three times weekly. On the following day wash with soap and water, rinse and expose to the sun's heat for as many hours as possible. Let the sun fall on tha scalp. It is not necessary to expose the entire scalp at. one time. One part may be shielded while another is having its sun bath. Few people are aware that by a skillful use ol the comb severe straiglitness can be remedied. It is difficult to convey in words a correct idea of the necessary motion of the hand. It resembles that employed in whisking an egg into a frothy state. The comb is moved rapidly and very lightly, with the result that the hair assumes a fluffy condition. But this is merely temporary.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1901. [TPWs HENHOUSE ON WHEELS. It Can lie Moved from Field to Field, ■nil 1M the Idea of a Practical Farmer. On the majority of farms where grain is raised there is more or less wasted each year that nothing but a fowl will pick up. This often happens in wheat fields. The hen house shown In the illustration is designed to meet the demand for a movable house and was gotten up by a practical poultry raiser. The house is built as light as the necessary strength will allow. The length is 12 feet and a little less than six feet wide in the clear. The height from the sill to eaves is five feel POULTRY HOUSE ON WHEELS, and seven and one-half feet from sill to gab'.e. The door is six feet high and two feet wide. One window is shown, though two on the same side would be better. There is no necessity for a window on the opposite side, from the fact that it is always possible to keep the same side to the south; and in case the house should be used in winter it would be preferable to have no windows on the north side. The house is sided with matched stuff, without any inner ceil ing; the floor is single also, as it is designed purely for warm weather use though the owner has no trouble in keeping Cochins in it during the winter time. The roof is tarred paper painted. On a small roof like this tarred paper painted once a year will do very well. The rear wheels are from an old mowing machine; the for ward ones from a grain binder truck. The rear axle is a heavy iron rod se curely bolted to the bottom, while the front axle is of wood.—Orange Judd Farmer. BEES WILL PAY TAXES. There Ih No Good flen«on Why Every Furui it Should Not Italne a Crop of Houcy, In a bulletin recently issued by the Rhode Island board of agriculture the secretary of the board, George A. Stockwell, says: Economical as the farmer may be, careful as he may clean in field and roadside (perhaps, meanwhile, com plaining of low prices and high taxes), yet he is unconscious, often apparently, of the presence, or in different to the value, of a rich and bountiful crop, a free gift of nature, prepared every year that may be of sufficient value to pay the taxes. Honey is as much a money crop as any other and there is no reason why it should not contribute to the gen eral welfare. In the city of Providence one col ony of bees gathered in one season 78 pounds of comb honey, sold at 25 cents per pound, or $19.50; another colony in the same apiary gathered in the same season 124 pounds of ex tracted honey, sold at cents per pound, or $20.80. Other colonies in the same apiary produced 20 to 60 pounds of comb or extracted honey each, above what was required to support them during the winter. Beekeeping is usually a joint indus try. Bees must have some attention, but do not require so much care as 6ome persons suppose. By the use of the double, noh-swarming hives bees may be left to themselves most of the time and the farmer may give his attention to poultry raising, small fruit culture, gardening, etc., as sured that his bees are working for his benefit to supply his table and pay or help pay the taxes. Proper RatlanH for Hen*. The proper feeding of birds has much to do with their health. The ra tion of the fowls should always be a balanced one. Fowls fed an unbal anced ration continually are certain to become weak. If it is unbalanced on the side of too much carbo-hydrates they become soft and lazy and the bones lack strength, as well as do the muscles. If the food is overbalanced on the side of too much nitrogenous matter, various troubles follow, and in such a condition the birds are said to fall easy victims to rheumatism, which in turn is made possible by too grent a supply of acid formed from the nitrogenous food products. It pays a man to study the ration question if he wishes to avoid many troubles with fowls.—Farmers' Review. Keep n Itrmilnr Account. It is impossible to know whether you have made a profit unless accounts are kept. Charge the hens with all the food allowed, and also interest on capital invested. Credit them with all "the sales and for the produce used in the family. The difference will be the profit unless you wish to charge for your labor, the value of which depends upon how much it was worth to you at the time. A large flock costs less for labor, proportionately, than a smaller one, but in families where small flocks are kept for pleasure as well as profit the labor is not estimated.—Farm and Yircaide.
