Healthfulness of Honey. 'Honey, one of the most nutritious and delicate of foods, should be eaten more than it. is,” said a cookimc ex pert. “Bought in the comb, it is bound to be unadulterated, and this mire honey will keep its friends free from sore throat and bronchical trou bl< s. I have not had a sore throat since six years ago I took to eating honey. My doctor teilo me he often recommends honey, with excellent re sults. for diseases of the throat. Hon ev is exc.llent to use instead of sugar for sweetening cakes. It gives the cakes a most delightful flavor. It is also excellent in place of butter on hot biscuits, on toast and on buck wheat cakes. I know a number of women who use honey as a cosmetic. They apply it to the skin, rub it in well, then wash it off with hot water. The result is a finer texteured com plexion, glowing color, a young fresh l(¥)k.” <’on!: ctor (for building skyscrap er)—Heve you ever worked high up in ihe : ir?

Hats are of all sizes, from the small’ noin ted toque to the largest “picture” hat. often covered with nodding plumes, or else those entirely un curled. which is one of the season’s fancies. Ostrich feathers are in great" :;r demand than ever before, and to bo in first-class style they must be long and broad. As everybody, how ever, cannot afford a broad plume, cir dels of short feathers are used around crowns, and in clusters, but thev are very far fro u conveying tin* air <>f distinction belonging to the long, sweeping plume. They are often in sharp contrast to the hat. as on black velvet brilliant “crushed strawberry" colored plumes ma ,• be used Kelts and velvet are the foundations of fall millinery, and the former have plain or indented brims and are trimmed with plumage, grapes, ribbon or a hap py mixture oi anv two or three mate rials. or when colors are combined, several shades are blended. Grapes are as popular as they were a few ordinary mixed goods. The continued popularity of plain broadcloth mav he judged by the fact that l»rd & Taylor are showing two hundred and fifty different shad s; their corner window being devoted to purple tn shades, | H’ next window to green, the third to crimson, the fourth to brown Tnd crushed strawberry, and the fifth to wiiite and all “pastel” shades. The Circular Skirt has not been a success for walking, therefore the new skirts are plaited or gored, and are trimmed with braid or folds of the material, finished by handsome buttons. Many new suits are of ‘ sh dow plaids,” with short jackets, and in some cases quite long on s. and i actically speaking, the jacket is a discretionary affair. The loose tourist coat is of plaids also, some bo sting of a plaided silk hood and others showing cuffs and collar of colored velvet, edged with embroidery.

But in recent years these parasites have | had even a more serious effect and i one that is more generally fdt. j Before the operation of the stock j law all our cattle were oxnosed to ticks from the time of birth and all •acquired in this way a natural pro j lection against Texas f ver. But af ter the passage of the stock law con- I ditions were greatly changed. The cattle were all kept up. The ticks 1 disappeared from some plantations j and the cattle raised on these nlaces | did not acquire the natural protection | against. Texas fever. On other plan I tations th • ticks continued to thrive 'ind tin' cattle became proof against .'lif' disease, as under the old condl j lions. So that today we have so mo places j infested with ticks and others that | are '-ntirelv free from the parasite. When a cow is taken from a tick- free place to one where ticks exist •‘"he develops Texas fever <uid usually dies, if a town-raised cow is sent out j to pisture on such a plantation the j same thing usually happens, because j town-raised cows do not have an op- | nortunitv to acquire immunity to the i disease. If a cow is taken from one I of the tickdnfest d places to one of | tlio tick free places, the cattle raised j on tin* latter place take the disease ] and most of them die. In this way enormous losses are j sustained bv cattle owners from tills one disease. The situation also in- iterferes with the local trade in cattle, fine may desire to buy a certain anl- ma! from a neighbor but cannot do so with safety because bis plantation is j infested with ticks and the animal in | question has been raised on a tick- I free place, or his own cattle may not front of now waists, but sleeves are j be proof against ticl>s and the animal tiie stumbling-block of the economi- desires to purchase is infested with cailv inclined; sl<*eves which make or I ticks and would introduce them into mar the ensemble.

The proportion of men who won’t take good advice, and use the least gallons paint, is about one in ten among even owners of houses and stores and shops and barns and fences. One man in ten will buy a gold brick- or green goods, if he has the money and gets a good chance. Devoe at $1.75 a gallon is better than gold; adulterated and short- measure vaults are green goods and gold bricks. Devoe saves half, more or less, of th< labor and wages of painting; it is all paint; full strength and full meas ure. There is no other such oaint within ten per c°nt. Ten per cent, of labor and paint is worth saving: and ten cents is the least. There are scores of paints that throw-away half of both gallons and labor on whiting, china clay, ground stone, barytes, ben zine, water—all they are good for Is to make gallons of nothing and look like paint, in the can; more gallons to buy and more gallons to pav for putting-on—gold bricks and green goods.

J H Torrence painted both houses; one Devoe, ISVfe gallons; the other with another paint sold at same price; 25 gallons.

There is onlv one wav out of the matter and that is to eradicate, the ticks from the infested places. This will not onlv overcome the difficulties mentioned but will also open up a larger market, for as soon as a part of the State is free from ticks it can be placed above the quarantine line, provided the legislature passes a law authorizing the establishment of a State quarantine line.
