How They Are All Tested by an Enth usfnss
tic Young Lady.
All the seeds given away by the Agri-
cultural Department at Washington are
tested before being sent out, and the way
in which it is done is very curious i'm
deed. Shallow tin pans half full of water
are employed, and across these parallel
are laid thick wires in pairs. Each two
wires have a strip of muslin sewed be-
tween them, so that when they are laid
together across the pan fold, 2 inches
deep hangs into the water. In this fold
all along from one side of the pan TO the
other seeds are put and the water rising
by capillary attraction, soaks the muslin
and causes the seeds to germinate. The
forming roots poke their way in every
direction through the muslin and the
plants grow famously. One tin pan 2
feet long will hold wonderful number
of sprouts, and il is simple matter 10
count and find out what percentage of
those put in germinate, one fold of mus
lin being devoted to each kind of seed.
Any seeds that do not prove entirely
satisfactory are sent to the gardner Of
the department to be tried in earth.
Thus Uncle Sam is able to guarantee all
the seeds he distributes; the tin pan idea
is new one. The tin pans are attended
to altogether by pretty enthusiast in
petticoats, who thinks it great fun to
have whole botanical garden within
half dozen square feet of room. She
does the whole business on window
ledge, and simply in the water that way
ol,<
And she ate them. Try it for yourself.
Use good sized tin pan from the kitchen
and fix wires and muslin in the way de-
scribed. Write to the department for
the seeds you want, and you are all
ready 70 go into business. Own your own
kitchen garden; every city family should
have ore on the window ledge. Flowers

If n Frenchwoman is informed that
the Duchess d'Uzes OF Princess de Sagan
has had costumes like this, and that
they stood without u complaint while
they were pinned and basted, then she
feels that she has made n success. These
two women more than any others in 30
ciety set the stamp ON special fashions,
and each is as eccentric as possible. The
Duchess Dues is said to be n direct de-
scendant of Louis XIV and Mime. de
Montespan, and this may account for
some of her eccentricities. She is de
voted TO hunting. and is said to possess
the finest Pack of stag hound IN France,
while it is announced hat she c.n drive
a four in hand with as much art as any
man. Princess de Sagan is u little diff
<c-ent, being essentially a woman of the
world and. what is more, a charming
hostess. Her costumes are the delight OF
Paris, for when she Is driving the small
est shopkeeper out for a holiday feels a
personal pride in her and her appearance

Miss Hester Crawford Dorsey, one Of
the clever and capable young writers Of
the south, lives in Baltimore, where she
is n society favorite. She is tall, blue
eyed and distinguished looking. thor
oughly informed upon current topics and
n fine conversationalist. Her journalistic
work on The Baltimore American and
New York Herald has been very success
full. Her special talent, however, lies in
the direction of story telling-stories
full of life and color.
A few years ago she wrote a poem
called "Dethroned"-a strong bit of
writing on the last days of the Emperor
Maximilian. Miss Dorsey has now in
her possession an autograph letter from
Francis Joseph of Austria thanking her
for the pleasure received in reading her
production. The Woman's Literary
Club of Baltimore, a society hat holds
the brightest literary lights of the Mon
umental City, owes its existence to her
enthusiastic efforts. She is its vice pres
ident and an indefatigable worker for its
welfare.-Current Literature.

Any one can tell that few New York

THAT when every American girl crosses
the Atlantic she would register a vow to
behave herself with dignity until she re-
turns, 1t is so provoking to have the
American girl, with all her pronounced
i'll breeding, thrust at one by foreigners
who have happened to meet some rough,
slangy American girls. II is no use ar
guing with these people, no use making
a defence of my countrywomen by point
ing out English girls who are fast, horsey
and slangy. They win have it that the
American girl is loud and fast in a way
different from all civilized human beings.
THE truth is, the loud and fast ones
get themselves so thoroughly known
and talked about that no one hears of
quiet girls who go through Europe with
out any ado Now / saw an American
girl at the Haymarket, a pretty creature,
who talked audibly between the acts
and made herself generally conspicuous.
She is the daughter of very rich and
very plain people. l watched her as we
sat with several English friends. who
insisted upon being delighted and
amused at her American ways Great

Papa, viii You please punch a hole
for charity said a little girl the other
evening at the tea table of one of Brook
lyn's homes, at the same time handing
her father n piece of pasteboard the size
of an ordinary business card. The father
took it, and while ~curiously examining
it the little one handed him a pin and
told him to go ahead and punch a hole
quick
On the card was printed a cross com
posed of fifty asterisks. and papa was
instructed to punch a hole in one of the
asterisks. He did so; then he punched
another and another until he had made
five holes. II don't see any trick about
that, my dear" said papa; but the
little one had snatched the card from
his hand, saying, "You can't punch any
more holes till you pay me. You owe
me a nickel-a cent for each hole you
punched" and as papa fished up a
nickel and handed 1t over he asked his
daughter to explain the joke.
There's no joke about it," said she.
81 got this card from my Sunday school
teacher. md I'm to get everybody i can
to punch n hole in 1t and pay me n cent
a punch. When / have all the holes
punched I'll have fifty cents, and Tn to
give it to teacher, who will turn it over
to the fresh air fund for poor children,
and she says that two or three cards
will give some poor baby n week at the
seaside. All the girls have got them"
Then papa produced another nickel
and punched five more holes, and NAM
ma punched five and so did the big
brother, and when the little one went TO
bed it was with the proud conscious
ness that she had her cross of asterisks
punched out, and had collected fifty
cents for the poor children New York

A lady living near the corner of Park
and South streets noticed a peculiar odor
coming from her kitchen n few days ago
and started downstairs to investigate.
She asked the girl what caused the odor,
but the servant did not know. The lady
found hat the odor was issuing from a
kettle on the stove. She asked the cook
what was boiling in the kettle, and the
latter replied, "Beets."
why, where did you get the beets,
Nary was asked.
Why, ma'am, you brought them home
yourself last evening"

the lady went into a fit of laughter. AS

quite deliberately and is about the size
for a chair sent. 1t has n long twisted
cord fringe, the warp of about two feet
hanging down. When the chair is COW
cred the fringe from the seat hangs to
the floor and is trimmed off. On the
back another apron is used and the
fringe hangs over, giving n stylish cord
