What's Going On
Inside The'Hivet;
Beekeeper Can Find Out Ey
Weighing Hives Daily To
See How Fast the Honey Is
Corning In
Beekeepers have a unique meth-
od of keeping tab on the activities
of their bees, according to a report
from the Dominion Experimental
Farms. Because it is so essential to
know how the honey flow is coming
into the hives, one hive in an ap-
iary is placed on a set of scales.
Thus it is possible to take daily
'weighings and so tell just how
much honey is coming in. Further-
more, it is possible to know accur-
ately the amount of loss of honey
in the hives, partcularly in the
Spring, when the now of nectar is
light. Then the beekeeper can tell
whether or not be should feed his
colonies.
During the main honey flow, the
scales are most valuable, for then
the bee -keeper can, estimate fairly
iacciitately,xtist what is"'going on in-
eide+' the colonies. 'Aine, he knows
when proper attention should be gi-
ven.

quire an answer?
3.—Is it good taste to use ei-
their blue or green ink in social
Correspondence?
4.—When a man brings a guest
to his home and introduces him to

sufficient acknowledgment for the
wife?
S.—When eating in a strange
place and you do not know wheth=•
er to pay the waiter or not, what

100th Year Begun
By Cunard Line
The Cunard Shipping Line,
'founded by Samuel Cunard, of
Halifax, N.S., entered its 100th
year in the trans-Atlantic steam-
ship trade July 4. The inaugur-
al voyage by the Cunard Line,
which merged with the White Star
Line five years ago, started July
4, 1840, when the Britannia head-
ed out from Liverpool, England,
/or Halifax and New York.
The output of central electric
stations in Canada during May
was 2,833,235,000 kilowatt hours.
This was a gain of 13.1 per cent.
over May, 1088, and was the high-
t?9t May output on record.
Scene Of Fatal Mauling
Seen being fed by a keeper are two of the three bears kept in the
Quebee Zoological Gardens at Charisbourg, P.Q., who clawed to death
Dr. Joseph Germain, of Itimouski, when he approached too close to the
bars of their cage and was seized by one of the -animals. Dr. Germain
was accompanied by his daughter and son when he tried to feed the
bears peanuts, only to be pressed against the bars and fatally mauled,
while his children were forced to look on, helpless except for attempts
to scare the animals off by throwing dirt and stones at them.

There are dozens of things that

Roll up the dining room rug and

all superfluous brie -a -brae, and the
living room, with small scatter

joy.
Heat and strong light put an ex-
tra strain on nerves. -Therefore it
seems to be extremely sensible to
shade all rooms from glare.
In the south they prepare for
heat, sensibly, and arrange their
schedules much better than we do.
We could take some lessons from
their example, and mothers with
families, would find the afternoon
siesta a plan worth trying.

a variety of breads at each meal
finds herself faced with rapid
bread spoilage when warm, dal»,p
weather arrives. If bread is wrap-

of the bread box, she will find that
the loaf should stay fresh and un-

The Best Relief
For Poison, • Ivy
Conner From the Use of POWs*
slum Pertlaelrrganate in Sev
ere Cases
Poison ivy as a plant has many
guises. It may appear as a low
shrubby patch, or as a fence bond-
er, or as a climber like the Virgin-
is creeper.. Each stem of poison ivy
bears three smooth, even, glossy,
leaves. Those .of the Virginia creep-
er are hi fives.
In severe eases of poisoning by
the ivy, the treatment most widely
recommended is potassium perman-
ganate which has for its purpose
the destruction of the poison by ox-
idation. The parts are . swabbed
with a three per cent solution,
made somewhat weaker if the skin
is particularly sensitive. Once blis-
ters have been formed, rubbing
should be carefully avoided. If bak-
• Mg soda, boracle acid, or other
cooling substances are used, no ap-
plication should be made when the
sores are oozing. Otherwise a crust
may be formed, and the conditions
aggravated. A pamphlet giving full
information may be obtained free

Division, Dominion Department of
