IQ IM H 5 gi nD i g iuj icj lU T Of Interest to Women Wholesale Buiineis Built Up in Ten Years By Two Women Result of an Original Investment in Stocks on a Capital of $1.25 Travel To gether Annually Through Europe. Two Philadelphia women of Her man descent have built up In less than ten years an extensive whole sale business as the result of an origi nal Investment In stocks that took n capital of exactly $1.25. The stocks are not of the kind that art) listed on exchanges or dealt in on the curb, but of the kind that wom en wear about their necks. One of the women was somowhat listlessly mak ing a stock for her own adornment one day when she suddenly exclaim ed: "I wish I could make some money." "Why not do for pay what you aro now doing for nmusement?" said a friend who sat by. The Idea took. The young women and a cousin bought $1.20 worth ot material, made several stocks and had no difficulty In selling them. That was the beginning of a busi ness that has since occupied the whole time of both partners. For a while one of them who drew pretty well was the designer of the linn. As business grew it was more economical to em ploy a well paid designer who could give his whole time to that part of the work. By this time the partners had be gun to employ girls to do the actual making of the stocks. At first the work was done by a few girls in Phila delphia. The number of .employees increased and It became good business to establish branch houses, for by this time the trade of the partners was wholesale Instead of retail. House3 were established in Baltimore, New York, Chicago, St. Louis, and the busi ness went on growing. Py this time the two partners gave themselves wholly to the management of the business nnd the purchase of materials, They now go twice a year to Europe to study modes and buy materials, they huve several well paid designers and the persistence of the fashion of wearing stocks has kept the business constantly active and profitable. Success also has given the partners confidence and they feel that they are not at the mercy of the capricious Parisian milliners who set the modes of the world. If women quit wearing stocks the partners will turn and take up something else. Meanwhile the partners have tad a busy and happy life, with an almost constantly increasing Income and a broadening horizon. They have built for themselves a comfortable home In the upper part of Philadelphia and they see almost every year a good deal of the European world. They had no more expectation ot n busi ness career ten years ago than a hun dred thousand other girls in their na tive city. INTERVIEWING AN ACTRESS. Its Depressing Effect Upon a News paper Woman. "Unless you have great moral cour ago," said the newspaper woman, "don't ever visit a young, pretty, popu lar actress in her dressing room. There she'slts, looking as brilliant as oh, well as sun and sea and flow ers and sky and Jewels and rainbows and every other brilliant thing you can think of, and there you sit, look ing tired and dilapidated. She is young nnd round and smooth, and you have ceased to remember your birth day. Her burnished hair Is careless ly tossed Into the latest effects, while the wind has whipped your dust col ored locks Into ragged ends that look like wisps of hay and feel nbout the same. Her dressing table gleams with silver and crystal, and your shop ping bag Is so old it has turned gray on all the edges. Her embroidered silk kimono scarcely conceals fluffy masses of flnost lawn and lace and lalnty Parisian lingerie. Your old cravenette coat scarcely conceals your dust old sergo Bklrt. Her tiny toes are thrust carelessly Into satin mules; your big, clumping, wide soled pumps feel far too full of feet and are covered with the dust of the street. "Her makeup, appalling as It is at close range, nevertheless produces an effect ot fresh brilliancy nnd marvel ous youth. You poise on the edge of her satin covered divan, nnd her mir ror heartlessly portrays your com monplace features, revealing ghastly shades of petunia and wistaria that you never dreamed you possessed In your complexion. You try to smile bravely at the reflection, but by the Bide ot the bewitching, footlights smile of la belle yours 1b a mere fac ial contortion. You give it up, stare gloomily, forget all the questions you came to ask her and finally take your departure, chasened and subdued. "Oh, yes, maybe It's good for you, 'but don't over do It unless you are brave. You'll have to do a great many fine, heroic deeds afterward before you can feel that you have a right to be above the sod." New York Press. Prevents Grease Spattering.

"S1 I Recompense I n ii(3 .4 bjn 'mi The winter twilight wna stealthily creeping In through the Inttlced win dow, making dim tho objects In tho simple yet cosy room. There wna no sound until tho clock on the mantel struck 4, nnd then the sweet-faced lady who sat In tho rocker facing the west window rose and walked to tho farther side of the room. "Come, daughter," she said, speak ing to n young girl who sat behind a large desk writing rapidly, "Leave your books a few moments nnd come with me to wntch the sunset. One sees It best from Claron Hill nnd tho walk there is brisk and Invigorating." "Yes, mother. Just lot mo finish this thesis first. Professor wants It In to morrow, and I do so wish to please him. I'll be right along." But In her Interest the daughter for got the mother wnlting and let her go alone to Claron Hill. Along the snow-covered path the mother Blowly went, not heeding the beautiful win ter Bcene nbout her. The trees, their strong, nrmlike branches laden with myriad glistening snowflakcs; tho gloriously clear blue sky, now tinging gray in the far east; the cold, exhila rating wind nil alike had lost thoir wanted charm for her. What was the uho of a great, beautiful world in which to live when one's own flesh and blood did not return tho most natural of affections that of a daugh ter's love for her mother? Great throbbing tears rolled down the mother's face, for tho thoughts that forced them were a strange In termingling of the bitter and tho sweet "Ellen!" The words came lnvolun tarllly from her lips. "How I have worked for you ever since your fath er died! You were a wee, tiny thing, so sweet nnd so pretty. Shall I ever forget how thankful I was to have you left when he was taken away! SInco then, how I have nursed you, cared for you, worked for you, to give you tho advantages that would have been yours had your father lived! Have I succeeded? Yes too well, for I have made myself a slave to you. You consider all things fl.st, last of all your m-mother." The sobbing woman had reached the summit of Clnron Hill. Before her was spread the beautiful sunset, and as she gazed upon Its glory In deep admiration her sorrow some what lessened. Rich, changing hues filled the western sky. First, nil was deep red blood; slowly tho red shad ed Into faintest pink, and again Into yellow. Creeping from behind a som bre cloud stole a rosy glow, envelop ing all in softest light, till a purple hazo settled over the low hills nnd darkening valleys. Then, like a gar ment turned, the purple revealed Its lining of sliver gray and a peaceful, lovely, night set In. To 'the woman on the hill summit this silent communion with infinite beauty brought happy hope, and she turned from it with lighter step, well knowing that ho who provided all that splendor for his own glorification and the worship of man would care for her and let her hope be realized. The day of realization came in the balmy June. Claron Hill was a beau tiful crown of growing wlldflowers which sent up their sweet fragrance, like Incense, to the clear, cloudless sky. Of all lovely days in June, that day must have been the best. It was commencement at college, and Ellen her Ellen was to graduate with highest honors. How selfish she had been to think herself neglected even for a moment when Ellen had been working so laboriously these last four years to win these honors that Bhe her mother might feel the great prldo of owning such a brilliant daughter. In the large crowded hall she felt that every mother's eye enviously be held her when she clasped her daugh ter to her breast after tho exercises. Enraptured, her cheeks flushed with a bloom like youth and her eyes sparkled with Joyful tears. "Why, mother, how pretty you look!" the daughter exclaimed, draw ing her arm through hers and leading her Into the festive college grounds. But It was in the evening that the mother realized her dearest hope. To gether she and her daughter walked to Claron Hill, nnd when they reached the summit the world was wrapped In the sunset's aftorglow. Still, while It lasted, the mother lifted her face to her daughter's and the thin Hps quiv ered nnd her eyeB wore wet "Why, mother mother, darling!" the daughter whispered, and gazing upon the sweet face sho noted for the first time Its numerous lines of,care nnd worry, the sad mien on every feature. A great pang seized her. She drew the slight form closer to her, raining kisses upon the gray head un til the mother looked up In surprise. It was the daughter who spoke again. "Darling, I have neglected you; I have been bo selfish. You shall never be left alone hereafter. Forgive me." And while tho happy revelation of a love deep as her own crept into the mother's heart, the afterglow ebbed Into gray and night laid its heavy hand on all without Its grasp until the rising sun chased it away and brought to these two another day full of lovo, hope and glory.

Tho world has had many kings, nil of whom have been nioro or less fa mous. But it has had only one, who could in truth be called King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Tlmo and time ngaln tho world has trembled, to know what conception Its sovereigns had of their sovereignty, for their concep tions lnovltably shaped thoir policlos and determined thoir actions. But never in all tho history of the world was It so Important for tho children of mon to know what conception thoir sovereigns had of their sovereignty, as It Is for tho child of God to know what conception tho Christ had of His kingly office. And thanks be unto God, wo aro not left In the dark con cerning this momentous question, for we may easily gather from the words of tho King Himself, and tho Hps of those whom He has commissioned to speak in His behalf, a clear and vivid conception ot His Kingship. And this Is the task set for the accomplish ment of tho present hour. First, then, the ground of His King ship. What right has the Christ to Do King? What are His credentials? The kings of this earth have gone to their thrones by way of royal birth, Intellectual force, the might of arms or the glitter of gold. If such creden tials be sufficient to Insure n crown and wield a scepter, then surely the Christ ought to wear the brightest crown and sway the mightiest scop ter the world has ever known, for Ho fs as far above earthly monarchs as the stars are above tho ponds which reject their shimmering light No; Christ did not go to His throno through royal birth, Intellectual force, the might of arms, the glitter of gold, or ho schemes of politicians. What, then, wero His credentials? Well, first, divine appointment, when In the Second Psalm, Jehovah says, "yet have I set My King upon My holy aill of Zlon." He speaks of the Christ, and when in the fullness of tlmo tho Christ comes, it is not without signs of divine appointment and approval. Among these we notice tho song of tho angels, the shining of the star, the visit of tho Wise Men, tho hush ing of the windb, tho stilling of the waves, the opening of blind eyes, tho healing of the sick and the raising of tho dead. But, again, the Christ cre dentials are "Inherent Qualification." It is necessary to a successful sov ereign that he have a comprehensive knowledge of his subjects. He must know their virtues and their vices, their vocations and their avocations, their religion and their Irrellglon. In a word, he must know and under stand human nature. He must also bo nossessed of a mind legislative and be able to enact such laws as shall bo for tho best Interest of his people. Ho must be possessed of a mind Judicial and be ablo "to execute those laws with Judgment tempered by mercy. He must have a mind martial and bo able to marshal the forces of the realm for the protection and defense of his people. In all these things Jesus Is pre eminent He knows mankind as only the Creator can know. Ho knows tho weakness of the flesh and the strength of temptation. He knows the deceit fulness of the heart and tho allure ments of tho world. Ho knows tho strength and tempter of the devil's sw rd, for He has often crossed blades with him. Jesus knows nil these things and He is able to make laws which, If obeyed, will raako ub happy hcr and hereafter. He Is able to, and will, execute the laws which Ho has formulated. Nor will He forget the rewards and tho punishments be longing to those who obey or dlBoboy. He is able and willing to marshal all the forces of Heaven to protect tho weakest saint, who puts confidence In Ills name. Again, tho Christ credentials are mediatorial acquisition. By nil tho sufferings of the cross, by tho atone ment ot His blood, Ho has won the right to the scepter over human lives. So much for tho grounds of His sov ereignty. But In what realm Is Ho sovereign? In the realm of nature. By Him and for Hlra wero all things made. Tho centre of this unlvorso Is not tho milky way, along which count less worlds blazo their light, but Christ the now and living way, along which countless multitudes pass to the Father's house. He Is King also In Heaven. All tho angels of God bow down and worship Him. Ills king dom Is higher than tho highest heav en, and deeper than tho deepest hell. He Is King among men. Millions bow down before Him and worship ""Him as King. Oh! yes; I know millions more refuse to worship Him, saying, "We will not have this man to reign over us," but Borne day God's word will be fullOUed. whon every knee shall bow and every tongue confess Him as Saviour and Lord. He U King In tho realm ot the churoh. Ho has never abdicated Ilia throne or delegated His power to an other. Christ alone is King, not synods, not presbyteries, not confer ences, not councllB, not discredited professors or ex-presldonta ot col leges, but Jesua Christ f-Vs. AND I ' DLL K. PiFF kFFDiKir. MORE WILD BEES THAN EVER. Hunting for Profit Thing of Past, Ow ing to the Passing of the Great Forests. It is commonly thought that with tho passing away of larger timber tho wild bees would have to go; but such Is not tho case. There aro more wild boos to-day than there wero 30 years ago. At that time trees had but little valuo, and the bee hunter found no trouble In cutting a bee tree wherever It was found, and many men followed bee hunting for profit and pleasure, and as the bees were more often found In large trees with decaying limbs or trunks thoy becamo an easy mark for tho hunter who understood their habits. Now all tlmberland Is under fence nnd the cutting of a tree on another man's land often endB In trouble. Beo hunting Is a thing of the past, but tho bees are hero moro plentiful than over. Tho old-time colony with GO and 100 pounds of honey is not found. They have beon compelled to use tho smaller trees for storehouses, which soon becomo overstocked and a new homo must be found. Thus tho colonies are smaller and moro numer ous. In removing the timber from three acres of land tho owner found nine trees with bees nnd honey. Of these nlno trees the largest amount of honey stored was about ten pounds, and on two of the trees the bees were storing honey by building It fast to small twigs outsldo tho hollow In a tree. Tho old-tlmo beo hunter know his business well, nnd many were the ways he had of finding the stored sweets. The Winter Rest. Tho necessity of conserving tho heat In tho brood chamber la evident; and the Importance of double walls and coverings of non-conductive ma terials Is recognized. But as a pre liminary to packing the bees up snug ly for their winter rest, the size of the brood-nest should be limited to tho size of the cluster; for Instance, If there are only bees to cover sis frames In September, it is folly to al low them nine or ten, or even more. It Is seldom that moro than seven Or eight frames are necessary for an or dinary colony, and the removal of superfluous frames should be the Hr3t step to successful wintering, so that the space In which cold air can circu late may bo reduced as much as pos sible, with a view to lessening the ac tivity of the bees, and tho consequent consumption of stores. It is from all points of view bettor to allow each to stand and take Its chance without a lot of coddling, unless It Is to preserve valuable queens. Where the location Is subject to winds, and even If It Is not, a wind break should be provided; cold winds are disastrous upon an apiary in the early spring. A win-break of ever greens does not cost much, and Is perpetual after It is once put down. One consisting of a barn and out build ings, with nn ocasional stretch of board fence on the north and west sides would be equally effective. F. G. Herman. Some Bee Habits. The social bees live in communities like ants, and consist of males, fe males and neuters. The greater part of the llfo of the queen or mother bee Is spent In laying eggs for the in crease of the population of tho hive, nnd not Infrequently she lays 300 eggs per day. During the latter spring months practical apiarists consider that ns many as 1,000, or even 2,000, are deposited daily. The queen bee moves about, in tho hive attended by a sort of retinue ot from ten to fifteen workers, by whom sho Is frequently supplied with hon ey, nnd she is tho object of particular regard as indispensable to the com munity. She moves nbout depositing her eggs In the cells prepared by the workers, and tho nurse bees are ready to take charge of each egg from the moment It Is deposited. Cells are made ready for workers, drones and queen bees, varying In slzo, and with unerring Instinct she places each egg In tho kind of cell appropriate to It Farmers' Homo Journal. Makes Discontented Bees. Tho process ot secreting wax and building comb Is slow, hence every empty cell In tho brood chamber, and often perhaps those In which eggs hnve been Inld, are speedily filled with honey. As fast as the brood in the outer circle of tho brood nest hatches, tho comb Is filled and sealed, while all through tho nest are cells filled temporarily, especially In the later part of the day. Often there Is scarcely a cell left In which the queen can lay an egg. As a result It is easy to see that wo have here a etato of things that makes queen and bees allko uneasy and discontented, hence the lmpulso to swarm. How to prevent swarming when working for comb honey, and not at the same time seriously Interfere with honey storing, Is a problem, writes F. G. Herman. The way we prevent B warming Is briefly this; allowing un restricted room for brood rearing by placing an empty body of combs un der tho hive proper, then to keep the bees from filling It with honey, have plenty of storage room above.
