material as straw was first introduced
there was a general outcry. Now
however, comparatively little paper
is made out of rags exclusively, fact
which is fortunate, as the quantity OF
paper now used is so great that there
would not be enough worn out cloth

The strangeness OF 1t is that while

We shall have the debutantes with us

charming evening dresses have been
made up to suit thoir dainty eoloring and
delicate style of beauty. One was a

there was lovely trimming formed OF

Chestnut Cultivation.

The supply of chcstnuts never equals
the demand in this country, and many dis
tricts in which the trees are abundant de-
rive very respectable income from the
sale of the. nuts. This industry might
be made far more productive and profit
able than it now is by some little effort

loose, sandy soils, or such us has been
derived from TIE decomposition of states
and shales. It's grown readily from the
seed, but the greatest care must be taken
not to let the nuts become dry. They
should be planted as soon as gathered or
kept in moist sand until ready to. plant.
The nut should be planted where the tree
is to stand, as the long tap root makes
transplanting difficult The European
chestnut is not only much larger and
finer than the American, but has pro-
duced, under cultivation, number of
varieties, some of which are highly es-
teemed for the superior quality of their
fruit. The trees do not grow so large
as the American, but come into bearing
more quickly; the latter does not gener-
ally fruit until ten or twelve years old.
A Japanese variety has been lately in
troduced into the states, which, though
not very hardy, is quite dwarf in habit,
and, while beginning to. fruit at -four. or
FIVE years, produces nuts larger even
than the European. These two charac-
ters-small size and early fruitfulness-
give them special value. and if they can
be worked upon stocks of the Ameri-
can species trees can be secured which
will bear earlier and produce larger
nuts than our native species. Chicago

The Immense Crop Of old Maids.

the statistics OF Great Britain are
correct, the excess of women and girls
over men and boys in that country is
about 900, 900, an increase in ten
years OF about 100000. In Germany
the number OF females in excess OF
males is about 1000, 900. In Sweden

majority by about $50, COO; in AustrO-
Hungary by 600, 900; and in Denmark

Mostly Medical.

In a case of sudden and prolonged
cessation of the hearts action while
giving chloroform during an opera
ton, DIR. l.. l.. Macarthur restored
the heart to action by thrusting a
needle between the ribs and into the
apex of the heart, thus to irritate its
muscle. He has found this method
of use in other cases, and when milder
means fail this sort of stabbing is GER
tainly a useful resource to one who
knows just where to strike the steel
into the heart.

Worlds Fair. The matter is in the
hands of a committee Of Lady Man

although why so exalted beings as

Mrs. Palmer is really to drive the

blow that will leave a dint the size OF

yearly double; and after that she
will smash her pretty fingers, and
throw down the hammer in disgust.
