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

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."

A GIRL IN BUSINESS.

It was agreed that Aramintha should

if they were going l to live in the sub

than a nice, fresh, new-laid egg for
one's breakfast? Father fairly reveled
in the outlook.

the subject to his wife's relatives, "I
believe in a girl learning business

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.

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

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.

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.
