' Shall the heroes of the Navy who
lie dead In the sea be honored with
the soldiers on Decoration Day? Tlie
Idea la of classic beauty banda of
-children marching to the beach, with
songs and Invocations, scattering flaw
rs upon the Ocean Sepulchre!
This exquisite memorial ceremony 1s
the Inspiration of a California woman,
Mrs. Armltage S. C. Forbes, of Los
Angeles, the city of angels and of
flowers. Her appeal last year awak
ened wide and immedtate response.
All along that glorious Coast, towns
and villages poured out processions
-of children with flowers to honor the
dead. So great was the Interest shown
that Mrs. Forbes wrote to Washing
ton for official recognition of the move
ment, hoping it might become a na
tional feature of Decoration Day. She
jecelved hearty responses, but no offl
lal action then. Now the Govern
ment seems ready to assist.
Curiously enough, It was a woman
who suggested the Idea of placing
wreaths and flowers on the tombstones
of the soldiers, and it was fitting.
therefore, that the happy thought of
srtrewlns flowers upon the waters In
memory of the sailors who have per
ished at sea should also emanate from
a woman.
In May, 1000, the unique ceremony
was held for the first time in sev
eral of the coast towns oi California
First of all Mrs. Forbes addressed a
circular letter to the school superln
tendents and teachers in the principal
towns of the Golden State, inquiring
what they thought of the Idea, and
asking them, if they approved of It
to assist her in xer endeavors to make
the proposition a success. With hard'
ly an exception favorable answers
-were received, together with kindly
suggestions as to how the "flower ser
vices" could best be carried out. Al
ter the children had placed their flow
ers upon the soldiers' graves in the
cemeteries they marched to the sea
shore, and there cast laurels and
flowers or tiny flags upon the sea, In
memory of the brave men who He in
unknown and unmarked graves be
Death the waves.
Last year all the Important coast
towns of California participated In
the ceremony, including Sun Fran
Cisco, Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara,
Santa Monica, Long Beach. Golorado
Beach, and San Diego. On tho East
em coast' the cities of Baltimore, Bos
ton, Portland and many others also
joined In the ceremony.
The strewing of flowers upon the
bosom of the ocean at Long Beach,
Los Augeles, on Thursday, May 30th
last, was a pretty spectacle. Calmly
and peacefully Old Ocean rolled, gent
ly tossing the flowers laid on its
bosom by hands no less loving than
those which at thousands of ceme
teries were placing wreaths and gar
lauds on the graves marked by a flag.
No flags could be placed over the
craves of the sailors, for only a mighty
expanse of water murks their last
burial place

they did so.
The ceremonies that followed at uie

in connection with tho ceremony was
carried out as far ns possible accord
ing to nautical Ideas. Two sailor lads,
from different traluiug ships, took the
floral offering from tho Itttla ones a?

nud rowed out a short distance. Then
they gently laid It on thu water, wbe'e

As this was beln done (he school
children on the pier, nearly three hun
dred strong, threw their offerings up
ou tho water, singing a song composed
for tire occasion by one of their teach
ers, who also arranged the children's
part of the progrnmcre. The flotal da
sign with which tho waves were die
orated took the Khan chiefly of anch

regulation salute of three volleys was
fired as the bright blossoms floated
out on tie ebb tide. The flowers are

Similar scenes were witnessed nt
Santa Barbara and other California
towns. On the eastern coftst of Amer
ica the ceremonies were equally
touching. Cnrt-loads of flowers were
thrown upon the Atlantic from the
Boston Navy Yard. At Baltimgre
floral designs were cast upon the
oceau from the trolulng-shlps. In
every Instance the ceremonies were
conducted with all tho solemnity that
the occasion demanded. Even the
crowds that went to witness the
unique and pretty spectacle were dif
ferent from ordinary holiday pleasure
seekers, and many a tear-stained face
could be detected nmongst the audi
ence as the children, dressed In white,
cast their flowers over the pier-side.
When First Observed.
In 18G8 the Grand Army of the He
public first began to observe the day
lit a formal manner. The South
adopted tho custom of decorating Its
soldiers' graves with flowers before
the Civil War closed, and the' practice
spread to tho North Just after the
war, but It did not become general un
til 1808. At that time General Logan
was commander-in-chief of the G. A.
It., and his order for the observance
of the day was issued early In May,
the 30th of May being designated for
the ceremonies.

Queens' (Minis,
There I something very strange In
tho fact that a queen very rarely uses
her stltig, even under the greatest pro
vocation possible, unless It Is toward n
rival queen. In fact, they may be
pinched, or pulled .. limb from llnib,
without even showing any symptoms
of protruding the sting at all, but ns
soon ns you put them In a cage, or un
der n tumbler with am her queen, the
fatal sting Is almost sure to be used at
once. There seems to be a most wise
provision lu this; for If the queen used
her stlng nt every provocation as does
the worker the prosperity of the col
ony would be nlmost constantly en
dangered. It Is true that Instances or?
on record where queens have stung the
lingers of those handling them, but
these cases are so very rnr It Is quite
safe to say queens never stlng. I nil)
Inclined to think the cases mentioned
(although, of course, It must lie only n
surmise) were with queens that were
not fully developed, for I hnve often
seen the dnrlc half-queen and hnlf
woiker show Its sth.g when handled
ns we Usually handle queens. It Is
said that n queen has been known to
lay eggs after having lost her stlng,
but ns they never lose their stings, so
far ai I know, at least, when they
stltig rival queens, we must consider
th's as n very unusual occurrence.
When you wish to pick qu?ens from a
comb you can do It with just as iuv.lIi
assurance of snfofy as If you were
picking up a drone. It Is true, the
queen often bites wlt'.i her powerful
mandibles, and she does It so viciously
that a novice might be almost excusa
ble for letting her get away la af
'rlght. From A l C of Beo Culture.
Gate For 1'asture Fence.
It Is nlwavs desirable to have some
sort of a gate In the pasture field fence,

the plan Is needed, for it Is plainly
shown by the llustrntlon. This fence
may be arranged so as to provide n
double gate by hlnglag the open por
tion In the foreground so that when
closed to tho post will come In snugly
agalast the fence post, and ba held In
place by a wire loop dropped over both
posts, then the gate in the background
should also be placed on hinges, so
thut when closed It will lap over against
the fence about two feet, and I e held
In place by a staple and hook.
Vsss of Copperas.
The value of copperas Is not ful'y un
derstood, but there are few tiling! piore
useful to the farmer and gardener. It
Is Invaluable as a purifier around
drains, or In at:y place where a disin
fectant Is needed. It Is specially use
ful In the chicken coop, a small lump
placed In the drinking water being n
preventive of disease and u general pu
rifier. In the garden th-ie are severe'
uses for it; two tablespoonfuls in a pall
of water will kill cabbage worms,
while a somewhat stronger solution
will kill currant worms as quickly as
hellebore, and It Is much safer to use.
Powdered copperas con be sprinkled
on the sur.'ace soli of hard wood pot
plants, so that the water tbat la applied
will s.oak through It Into the soil, car
rying the strength of the copperus with
It. For more tender plants the cop
peras can be dissolved, ctlowlng one
ounce to each gallon of water, using
It In the soil once In two weeks, uot al
lowing any of It to touti the foliage.
It Is nlso used for shrubs and trci
In the garden, especially those which
for some unknown reason fall to make
satisfactory growth. It can be made
lu large quantities for that p.irpos.',
using two pounds of copperas to a bar
rel of water. A few applicailons wll
usually cause n marked Improvement
in the growth and In the color cf t'.ic
foliage. In sections where corn Is dug

Ill the corn-srawiug districts of the
Western States corncobs are made to
servo a good purpose when reduced to
charcoal and fed ici hogs. Ordinary
charcoal Is used by r.intiy. The method
of reducing the corncolw to cbarcoul is
thus given tiy Theodore Louis:
Dig a hole l.i l lie ground five feet
diH'p, oue foot In dlumetcr at tho bot
tom and five feet at tbe top for the
charcoal pit. Take the dry corncobs
and start a fire In tho bottom of this
pit, adding cobs so that the flume U

be thus tiled with tho cobs. Then
take a sheet iron cover, slmHar to a
pot lid lu form, and over five feet In
diameter, so as tj anrily cover the
whole, uud close u;i t'.ie burning mass,
scaling the edges of this lid in turn
with earth. At the end of twelve hours
you may uncover atd take out a flue
sample of corncob charcoal, 'j'hls chuv
conl cuu be fed at once If desired, but
Mr. Louis prefers to take alx bushels
of It, or three bushels of common char
coal, eight ponuds of salt, two c,uart
of alr slncked lime and ouu bushel of
wood ashes, breaking the chnrccal up

A Gooft Garcfen,
A few simple rules are all that 1
necessary to govern a good garden.
First, there should be a good spot,
convenient to the house, thoroughly
ilrnlned, with soil ns rich ns possible
Second, the owner must know when,
how nnd how much to plant. Third,
the garden must be kept free from
weeds and under good rultlvatlon the
entire season. If the gardener has the
right kind of tools, and has learned to
do his work to the best advantage, two
hours n week or a Utile less than n day
l:i n month, will give Hiltn a clean
profitable garden, unless the season If
one of frequent nnd heavy rains, which
will make the work harder. The gar
den cannot be too well drained, for
this will enable the gurderi'T to plant
early and to work much sooner after
rains; It will also keep the soil from
pncklnir, causing the plants to become
unthrifty, rinntlng In n well drained
garden, plowed In the full, may begin
as soon as the ground dries enough
for n, harrow to me'.low tlie surface.
Fens, lettuce, radishes, onions, beets
nnd cabbage may be planted ns soon
ns the ground can bo worked, and If
the ground freezes after they are up
It rnrely hurts them.
There are certain kinds of vegeta
bles of which several plantings should
be made ns they soon go by, and with
a single planting the family can utie
them but n few days: with a succession
of plantings there will lx a supply for
several weeks. It takes little work to
keep a garden in good order If a hand
cultivator is used. As soon ofter each
rnin ns tho land can bo worked, tho
surface should be stirred to the depth
of about one Inch. No weeds will then
Mart until It rains again, the evapora-.
(Ion of moisture will be checked, nnd
you will have a clean thrifty garden,
which will be a pleasure to look at
which will give a supply of vegetables
from the middle of April till frost, nad
which will furnish whnt would cost

A Zluinane Stanohlon,
One of the greatest problems of the
dairy bnrn outside of the problem of
the most judicious method of feeding
Is the matter of confining the cattle In
the stalls. It is agreed on nil sides
t.iat the greatest comfort must be as
sured the cow If the largest returns
are to be expected, but nt the same
time It Is admitted that tho cow that is
glveu the greatest freedom la the mat
ter of confinement lu her stall Is the
one that Is hardest to keep clean. Now,
as cleanliness is an absolute requisite
In producing the best of milk nud but
ter, the question resolves itself Into
this. How rigid a stanchion can be con
structed and still give tho cow such
freedom of movement as will make1
her confinement in the stall not at all
Irksome to her? If tho cow Is tied
with a chain to a post she can stej
ahead Into her manger and back into
the manure trench. In this way the
platform on which she stands has ma
nure dropped upon It nnd carried upon
It to the manure trench by the ani
mal's feet. The old fashioned, rigid
stanchion, consisting of two uprights,
keeps an animal from moving back
ward or forward, but It nlso confines
the head so closely thut very little
movement of this Is possible, while tho
fact that the stanchion has no "give"

bumps urtc" the animal's borss, earj

use of a stnnchlou, however, and ye
have It admit of considerable move
ment of the animal's head, while still
confining its forward or backward
movements to very small limits. Th
cut shows the construction. The up
right post turns freely at the loose end
and at the top. Two Iron L pieces hole'
