Bees in the spring serve as active agents in the fertilization of blossoms, Always avoid blowing your breath among the bees while handling the combs. The first hatched queen will destroy all rwaining queen cells provided it is not in | tue height of the honey flow. Cutting out the queen cells after aswarm } will not always prevent swarming. But tha \¢ out after the first swarming and it is rtain. When a swarm issues from a parent hive either with an old or young queen, they appear confused until they cluster, when they become quiet. If the bees seem to dwindle in thespring, look them over every day. Close up the division boards, taking out all of the combs they cannot cover. In selecting brood for queen raising be sure you have no drone larve, for the bees by some strange instinct will often build queen celJs over them, resulting in noth- ing but dead drones. To have a colony build queen cells, first remove the old queen, then in eight days pick out all of the cells that have been built and place in the. center of the hive a comb containing larvze not over one day eld from the queen desired to breed from. —5St. Louis Republic.

Nearly all the dressy styles of coiffure just now point to wearing the hair on the crown of the head. Tailor made pique costumes will form one of the very smart styles for afternoon wear this summer. Pointed epaulets, toreador jacket fronts and plain and folded girdles still lend great variety to spring street costumes and house toilets, Elegant summer capes, showing black and white laces in combination, with par- asol and hat or bonnet en suite, will be very much in vogue. Some of the new very dressy models for #ummer gowns show the skirt laid in al- ternate accordion plaitings and narrow braided or embroidered panels. Carnations, geraniums, gladioli, tulips, lobelia blooms, roses, canna and wild quince blossoms are among the brilliant red flowers that are used upon spirng bats and bonnets. White batiste, silk mull and chiffon blouse vests and loose waist fronts are made with bands of handsome lace inser- tion that cross each other, forming blocks either large or small. For evening wear the medici collars are stillin high favor. Butif these are not fancied there are scores of other preity stlyes, both modern and antique, to choose from to adorn either bodice or wrap. Bow and buckle trimmings will prevail very livgely on spring and summer gowns, and, while piaited frillings, velvet bands, braiding and gimp trimimngs are to rage, they do not displace, but merely vie, with a? ribbon garniture‘4in general favor. Loose silk and chiffon waist fronts are trimmed with rows of gathered or plaited ruffles to simulatea bolero or jacket bodice effect. The same garniture is used on the meck, sleeve tops and at the wrists of the close coat sleeves.—New York Post. CURTAIN RAISERS. Agnes Ardeck has been engaged as lead- ing lady with Thomas E. Shea. Mary Timberman is winning golden dpinions for her excellent work as Portia to the Shylock of Thomas W. Keene. ‘‘In Town,’’ a late London success, will be presented at the New York Casino next season under direction of George Edwardes. Theatrical London is in a state of ex- tancy over the rumorthat several actors will be knighted at the queen’s jubilee in June. Albert Chevalier’s twoact musical play, ‘*The Land of Nod,’’ was recently given a copyright performance at the Lyric theater, London. Mme. Brazzi, an American contralto now abroad, has been engaged by Maurice Grau for the Metropolitan Opera company for next season. Laura Hulbert, the leading woman of the ‘‘Saved From the Sea’’ company, is an actress who will be heard from in a higher phrase of the drama. Wilson Barrett is of the opinion that his leading man, Frarcklyn MacLeay will eventually be recognized as one of the world’s greatest actors. Henry EK. Dixey has been succeeded by Rebert E. Graham in the principal role of ‘*Gayest Manhattan,’’ the not oversuccess- ful yaudeville at Koster & Bial’s New York house. It is said that there will be 50 ‘‘seaside resorts’’ within a few miles of New York this summer, and it is certain that not more than twoor three of them will be worthy the designation. Gerhardt Hauptmann’s drama, ‘‘The Sunken Bell,’’ which has caused enthusi- asm ia Berlin, has apparently been a fail- ure in Paris, There is too much mystery and obscurity in the play to please the Parisians. —" Canadian Order of — wm foresters Court Ch'town, Meets 2nd and 4th Fridays in Wright's Fall,Prince St A fraternal society.
