am puzzled TO know now American
women keep not their beauty but their
life"
In all her generous cd age, the city
of Paris was the chosen home of the
benevolent Duchess of GalliGra; and
as she had done so much for her native
city, she determined to leave a name
to be equally revered in the FIR nch
capital. Almost her last appearance
in public was when she went to open
an immense orphanage at Meudon,
near Paris, and home for poor priests,
destined to afford shelter to no less
than $50 venerable and aged clergy
men, who, but for her generosity under
the anti-Christian government, which
at present is supreme in France, might
have persisted of want. Every year
the duchess gave sum of f.25, 900 to
the poor of her parish, like sum to
the poor of the parish in which her
country house is situated, and half
this sum to the poor Of Voltri, where
she has villa, and which she left to
the Empress Frederick of Germany
In all the Duchess of Galliera has
given to the poor of Paris and Genoa,
not less than f.123, 100000, and it is
well known that her private charity
was almost as great as her public
benefactions. But in this case the eft
hand knew not what the right hand
did. Besides this, she has built a
museum, which she has presented to
Paris, and which she has caused to be
erected in new quarter of the city,
where such an institu ion will be of
great benefit to the Inhabitants. It is
destined to contain all the works of
art which formerly embellished her
palace in the Rue de Varennes.

Too much stress cannot be placed
upon the fact that wheat farming will
have to be abandoned. The finger of
destiny points to the deciduous fruit
of the golden orange as the product to
which the favored grain-grower of
this wonderful citrus belt must now
address himself to the task of cultivat-
ing more extensively. The area de-
voted 10 wheat and barley must inevi-
tably become more circumscribed and
the scope dedicat ID to the production
of fruits shall grow steadily greater.
If ranchers will plant a few acres in
oranges every season they must in a
few years have large and handsome
groves, worth just as much as the far
famed orchards of southern California.
But to achieve the best results the
fruit-growers of the Sacramento val
lev will be compelled to water their
trees. 1t would be altogether useless
to dot our productive valley with
orange groves unless we shall organize
an irrigation district. AS has already
been said. we have water at hand,
plenty of it. 1t is accessible under
grounl and in the river, and all that
is needed is action for is utilization.
ANY one who may be skeptical as to
the magical effect of water in this re-
gard should consult A. f. Abbott, who
bored wells, irrigated his orchard and
is cha med at the result.-Maryville

Two years ago eight ladies in Mil
ford, Me-, decided that the town
needed new hall. They organized
themselves into a sewing soc ETY. and
went to work. AT the end of the year,
having given several entertainments at
schoolh0use in addition to the sew
ing, they had 1925. With this as a
nest egg, they hired the rest and began
on building. AS soon as the build
ing was boarded, though yet without
doors or windows, they set up a cake
and ice cream counter one night last
August on carpenters bench, and
added to their store. In September a
good floor had been laid and they held
a dance. This netted $50. Since then
two or three dances have been held
each month, each of which has melted
at least $25. Now the hall is finished
on the outside, though the inside, with
the exception of the floors, is yet in a
rough state. 1t has cost -about $1,000,
and the present debt is about half that
sum. A furnace has been put in at
cost of $1S5, and kitchen and din
ing room in the basement have been
furnished with stove, dishes, tables,
lamps, etc. The women are we'll
pleased with their success.

1t had been observed that many of
the rivers of Saxony, which flow
through loose or soft materials. have
steep bank on the east, northeast or
southeast, while the opposite shore is
nat. Herr Rucktaschel, who has been
studying the subject, attributes this
one-sldedness to the action of the pre-
valhng southwest, west or northwest
winds, which drive the rains almost at
right angles against the bank slipping
from the east, and wash away the sill
IN much greater quantity than from
the western bank. Some of the river
valleys of Prussia and Bavaria exhibit
similar phenomena.

Plants a~e often killel by frost i'll
valleys and up to certain height upon
the Hills, while above this limit they
entirely escape injury. 1t has been
found by observations that a ther-
mometer attached to high tower in a
valley indicates at night the same
average temperature as a thermometer
ON the side of a neighboring hill upon
the same level. This indicates that on a
tranquil night the cold air resulting
from radiation at the surface of the
earth settles i'll the lleys, in conse-
quence of its greater density, and the
warm and cold air are arranged in
nearly horizontal stra.a like liquids of

Domestic cooperation is affording a
means of economy and. in few re-
spects, convenience, that are directing
some attention to itself. If the cook
ing, the laundry work, the sewing and
other work can be done outside the
house and done more cheaply than at
home, then is some money saved, the
housewives are relieved of what is
perhaps burden and the home is free
from operations that it is desirable
should be banished from it. AT any
rate, this is the plea that is made for
cooperation. This principle of doing
domestic work is developing in rudi-
imentary way in many directions and

A bull of any sire animal should not
be fat but igorous. To keep them in
this condition they should be fed nj
trogenous foods or Understanding
foods. More than half of their grain
food should be wheat bran. Ground
oats are excellent l shonld make the
preparat ons as follows: One-half by
weight of bran, one-fourth linseed
meal and one-fourth oats. The amount
fed should be according to size and
service required; from two quarts per
day to six and eight quarts are enough
for bull 2 years old and upward, and
when clover hay is fed four quarts are
ample. When not in service they do
not require so much. If bull is nat
urally nervous and excitable, give no
oats, as the oats will simulate their
condition. No corn or rye should be
fed. They will make the animal tardy
and impatient.
When timothy hay is fed, give more
bran. The stallion may have more
oats to give HIM spirit and make him
more snowy. The bull does not want to
be snowy, but simply Wig Jrous, and the

which makes a good bull, but an OPP

uneasy and ugly, and when closely
confined they are in an unnatural con-
dition.

short neck, square shoulders, thick
waist and big feet. Her voice is rath-

Only the most matter-of-fact Amer
lean bride will go to the altar without
the requisite ''something borrowed
and something blue" in her trousseau,
Invariably the something borrowed is
a garter, and to make doubly secure
the luck of the loan yellow band is
sought for, and careful is the owner
to have it back, since 1t is as good as a
certificate of marriage to her. Among
romantic maidens it is customary to
claim the brides carriers as soon as she
removes them, to be cut up among the
bride maids for good fortune and fond
husband. In England the bridal gar
tiers are presented 10 the maid of
honor. In Germany the bride gives
each of her maids pair or true blue
or pure white stocking bands, and
among the Hohenzollerns it has been
the custom for each bride to wear
jewelled carriers and present one Of
them to the National Museum or Art
in Berlin. The collection now in
cludes about sixty odd gar ers, which
is both beautiful an1eeSH ioas, compris-
ing plain ribbons, circles of rubber,

worked elastics and priceless little
zones embroidered with precious
stones. Princess Sophie of Prussia,
bride of the Duke of Sparta, had thir-
teen pairs of carriers in her wedding
trousseau. The pair she wore were
made of turquoise blce silk woven
with gold wire and clasped with horse
shoes of dazzling rose-cut diamonds.

A veil is a necessity to the woman
who cares for appearance. In the
first place, it saves washing the face,

short lived, for the reason that phe-
nomenal beauty or pronounced paint
was necessary to peer through its
gloom. The idea, however, suggested
the wire veil, the novelty of the stock,
which is nothing more than semi
circle of point desprit gathered on a
fine wire by means of which it can be
adjusted to any hat crown or bonnet
frame. No pins are needed. All one
has to do is to pinch the wire and it
stays where it is placed.

to make u cellar wholly or partly be-
