Couture No Disease.


Concerning the presence Of the coul-
ure condition, N. W. Motheral, of Han
ford, gives the following as the result Of
the investigation of the Tulare horticul-
tural board, says the Fresno Review
"The subject of investigation by the
board for the past month has been the
disease of the vine known as couture,
which is French word that has refer
ence to the falling of the grapes, and is
described by Mr.. Eisen as the first form
of powdery mildew (uncinula spiralis)
investigation under the microscope shows
that we have no such disease at this sea-
phur is entirely useless, and does not
prevent the falling Of the grape. Pow
dew milder occurs later in the season,
and is not at all like the couture. The
disease known as couture is not mill
dew at all, but is a secretion OF salt and
can be seen in crystals, under the
microscope, both upon the leaf and
the fruit of the i diseased vine.
1t readily dissolves in water and can
be seen to recrystallize when the
water evaporates. This salt is acrid
and destroys the leaf, turning it brown,
and the bloom Of the young fruit. This
disease is much worse in cold, damp
spring and after cold winds than any
other time. 1t can be readily recog-
nized as awhite milky substance on the
edge of the leaf and fruit. The remedy
has not yet been discovered, as the
source of trouble is evidently in the soil
or atmosphere. But one thing is sure,
that sulphuring the vines does no good"

FrescOed by the Sun.

The sun is about the finest worker of
lace and the quickest known to us. At
Long Beach the other day they had a
hop at the hotel. A great many of the
girls at the hotel wear lace scarfs about
their threats, and go out on the beach
in the hot sun and sit down with their
backs to the great heat The lace partly
protects their necks and keeps them from
getting sunburned altogether. But old
Sol, in a way known only to himself
generally manages to fool everybody
man and woman-at some time or other
and so it was at the hop the other night
that the girls all came down to the ball
room with the beautiful figures of their
lace wraps done in red and brown on
their necks 1t was funny sight to see
the girls in their low neck gowns, with
the finest and most fantastical figures Of
their laces done in excellent style and
workmanship on the back of their necks
And the best part about it was that
none of them found out that they had
been frescoed until another girl, in the
kindness of her heart and all uncon-
scious of he own decorations, called
their attention toi it. Singularly enough,
after the first dance the girls all got
chilly and wore shawls about their necks
and shoulders.

Fads of Fashion.

The glories of the jardiniere know no
limit.
Card receivers of china in the form of
flowers are used. The pansy is the favor
lite.
Tulips lying ON their side and revealing
an oblong opening on top are intended to
hold small cut flowers.
German faience representing logs, roots
and branches in delicate creams and gold
are intended for cut flowers.
Bohemian glass with lusterless surface
in panels of grays and browns initiates
clearly some varieties of Royal Worcester
An English jardinere is of twisted
flashed blue ware, with n twisted pedestal
in large curves, and supporting huge
blue bowl.
Folded sails in German faience on end
with ropes passing through are used as
vases These are variously ornamented.
On one cupid with scrubbing brush
tries to scrub the sail.
There is some pretty new Doulton ware
In the market 1t is blue in color, with
blue and gray floral ornamentation in
blending tones. But as conspicuous as the
colors are the fine forms. These are slender
and tapering and Greek in character
Monster rose jars are charming. They
are round bodied in a network of colors
confined within geometrcal forms. They
have close covers, and over these perforated
covers that, when filled, may allow the
perfume to escape, the inner cover being
removed
A tall pedestal is white with gold spiral
lines and medallion in the side with
Vatican figures in landscape in relief.
This supports large bowl with an orna
mental edge and showing similar medal
lions. This is beautiful work, delicate in
color and suitable for some white and gold
room overlooking a lawn.

A Firm of Women Lawyers.

Mrs. Kate Pier and her three daugh-
tiers, Kate H., Caroline and Harriet, are
all members of one law firm in the city
of Milwaukee, They are all interest
ing feminine" women, if one may use
the expressions; apparently they have
lost none of their womanly qualities,
but gained so many privileges that one
is reconciled to a progress, which twenty
years ago many thought threatened the
destruction of home life. 1t is not prob
able that any one of these young ladies
is untitled for home because she has
identified herself with an unusual call
ing for woman,
Only a few years ago, if woman
found it necessary to work for living,
as she often did apparently suffering
both the curse of Adam and Eve), there
was no career open to her save school
teaching or dressmaking. Now, as a
progressive woman says, ''she can do
anything where her petticoats do not
catch in the machinery" Mrs. Pier,
after the death of her father, was left in
charge of his estate. She became inter-
ested in the questions that arose, and
possessing a keen and brilliant mind she
directed it to the study of law. There
are many women upon whom devolve
the responsibilities of an estate who may
appreciate the motive which led Mrs.
Pier to become her own lawyer

Epicurian MOrsels.

When sponge cake gets dry it is very
nice cut in thin slices and toasted.
Taken in the early morning an orange
acts very decidedly as a laxative, some
times amounting to purgative, and may
generally be relied on.
If in making mayonnaise the oil sepa

Golden husk, or small yellow tomatoes,

Over the Way.

There is Grape on the bell knob oven the way,
And my little children they will not play
But stand looking out through the window
pane,
Through the growing dusk and the misty rain;
And their eyes are wet with the teardrops'
spray,
For there's Grape on the bell knob over the
way.
they do not know yet II it means that pain
Is passed from the man who walked with
cane,
Or the bright little girl has fallen asleep
With whom so oft they have played 't}opeep,"
Or mother or father has gone to stay
That Grape on the bell knob over the way.
They only know this: There is something less
In the house that was full of blithesomeness.
They know there is sorrow, and tears are shed
BY some that are living DER some one dead.
And they haven't cheerful word to say
While there's Grape on the bell knob over the
way.
am worried now that they feel it so,
And bend my mouth to their pink ears low
"Dears, it only means there is rest so sweet
For a tired heart and two tired feet"
Then | stop. They'll say over there some day,
There's Grape on the bell knob over the way."

A Perplexity of the AristOcracy.

Several interesting communications
have reached me with reference to a
recent statement that movement is on
foot among the ''honorables" to inscribe
that designation ON their visiting cards
There seems, am glad to learn, to be a
strong feeling that this important step
should be taken at any cost. zone who
will support the movement" writes:
81 would go further, and suggest that
If all persons, from the highest to the
lowest with title or any precedence,
had their cards printed as they expect
their letters to be addressed, cards would
be what they were surely intended to
bean exact designation of the owner,
and not puzzle to the owners friends
and acquaintance. am sure London
hostesses would be grateful for such a
reform, which would greatly decrease
the trouble and anxiety of issuing invi-
tations."
This idea of making the card an exact
designation of its owner is worthy of all
scceptation. We should thus read not
only Captain This or "The Rev. That"
but such designation as "Mr. Plantage-
net de Smyth, Stockbroker," or "Mr.
John Jones, Drysalter-Retired," and so
on. The correspondent quoted above
complains that the colorless title "lady"
covers every female between the wife of
the premier baron and that of the last
created knight. This dangerous state
of things ought clearly to be obviated
by requiring the bearer of the title to
give further particulars on her cards
A better plan, however, would be to
give up the use of titles altogether

Exercise For Working Girls.

Any one who has happened to be in
the neighborhood of factory or mer-
camille establishment where large num-
bers of girls are employed, about the
time the employees are leaving work for
the day, could hardly have failed to re
mark the large proportion of narrow
chests and round shoulders, often to the
verge of deformity, that are exhibited.
That steps are seldom taken by employ
ers to mitigate in any way the evil eff
fects of the close confinement and con-
strained position on the health and anat-
omy of growing girls brings out in all
the brighter contrast the commendable
example of Boston merchant, who has
opened a gymnasium for his female en-
ployees where they receive free of cost
professional instructions in the art of
physical exercise.
The classes are free to all who choose
to avail themselves of the privilege, and
daily instruction is given between the
hours of 8 and 6 in the afternoon. AL
ready 600 girls have joined the class and
many more are awaiting the verdict of
their sisters on the new departure.
Those who have tried the exercise are
enthusiastic as to its benefits, and say
that the tired feeling caused by close
confinement in the store soon soon gives
place to one Of elasticity and freshness.
This Boston philanthropist looks for
ward to the time when a gymnasium
will be attached to every large business
establishment where women are en-
ployed, and it is earnestly to be hoped
that his dream will soon be realized
