Story. 1 y-Feb\l5-'00 Oar Army and Navy. Not .until the close of the Spanish- American war, which proved such a brilliant success for our Army and Na­ vy, did foreign powers appreciate" the strength and stability of our engines of, war. Not only did foreign countries watch the movements of our troops and ships with amusement, but our own people, right here at home, were sur prise^l to find that the United States possessed an army and navy of such strength and proportions. In one of the latest books to appear, entitled "The United States Army and Navy, 1776-1899," a grapic description of the operations of both branches of the service, from their inception to the close of the late war, is to be found. It is a beautiful art edition, and no book so complete, both from a literary and ar­ tistic point of view, has ever been pub-* lished. , The text is by eminent authorities in both branches, and was compiled after a careful research of all government re­ cords. The illustrations and there are 48 of them, full-page size, are the finest specimens of art ever placed in a book. The volume is published by the Wer­ ner Company, of Akron, Ohio, who are making a special offer to introduce it to the reading public. In another part of this issue will be found a more detailed description of the book and how it can be secured. tf. WEST M'HENRY, ILLINOIS.

The beginner in bee raising is often discouraged by finding his attractive boxes of honey covered with worms, feeding on the caps covering the honey cells. Old bee raisers know that this trouble often occurs even with their experience, and that it is a difficult evil to combat. It is almost impossible to keep the moths out of the hives, and once in, the female finds a place to lay her eggs, from which are hatched these worms. Many experts go to the length of claiming that it is frequently neces­ sary to abandon the common black bees and stock up with Italian bees, with which there is little trouble with worms, in order successfully to fight t'he difficulty. There is yet a way to be devised to fight off the moths, and where they are thick, they are sure to Event* Reported by Telegraph Given In Short Paragraphs--One Week's Happen­ ings Chronicled to 8ult the Bnsy Reader --Crimes, Casualties and Other Matters •f J*ablic Interest. >Sf THIS BOER WAB| % V'V General Clements has occupied Ja- gersfontein and Fauresmltli.
