"How do you get seeds and plants
from foreign countriesT'
Usually by . system OF exchange
through our Consuls. We most always
have something that the people Of other
nations want and for which they are
glad to give US what they have. Many
of our Consuls abroad keep sharp eye
out for anything in our line. and COM
municate freely with US. Not long ago
we received consignment OF date palm
from Egypt. These ought TO do well in
our warmer ATTITUDES and we sent them
to California to be tried. But II you
want to talk about foreign fruits, let me
refer you TO William Saunders, our horti-
culturist. He knows more about them
than anybody else around here"
Mr.. Saunders is quiet old gentleman
who has spent all his life among fruits
and flowers. 1--WE have introduced in
portions OF the United States" said he,
several foreign fruits which are being
successfully and proftably cultivated.
Among these are pineapples, bananas,
cocoanuts, figs, dates and various kinds
Of oranges. Years ago we brought from
Bahia, Brazil. what is known as the
Washington naval orange. II Is seed
less aud has proved To be singularly
adapted TO the climate OF California.
Scarcely any other kind is now grown
there A gentleman from that State
told us that the introduction OF this
orange has been worth more 10 CALI
fornia than all the Department OF Agri-
culture had ever cost. One year we i'm
ported for planting $4,000 cocoanuts.
They are doing well In Florida, but IL
takes ten or twelve years for them TO
reach the bearing point.
II venture you cannot tell what that
IS" and Mr.. Saunders took from his
desk tempting fruit rs large Us a good
sized apple. and so smooth and shiny
that IL looked as II IL were made OF wax.
THAT is Japan persimmon," he con-
tinued. AT maturity IL is most luS-
cious thing TO eat. Before IL Is ripe IL
has in q much less degree the quicker
which characteriZes the aStringent
American persimmop. IL ripens without
frost and you will rarely find as delicious
a fruit. IL is suited TO the climate OF
half of our country and we shall en-
courage its cultivation. IL cannot fail
to please the popular palate"
In building near the main editice
occupied by the department, hundred
women are employed In putting up more
than 800 different kinds OF seals. The
paper for the packets is cut by .machjn-
cry and they are rapidly gummed aud
folded by deft fingers. They are filed
by means OF little cups varying in size
according TO seeds. During the busy
season hundreds OF thousands OF these
packets are made and filled each week.

"At home" days are beginning to go
out OF fashion in London, and the
women who held them with irritating
regularity once week are now reduc-
ing them TO once month, and few OF
those who found them most irksone
have with admirable cuteness fixed them
on "fifth Mondays, Tuesdays" ETC., to
limit them to one day in two or three
months. One lady who had become
particularly annoyed at missing all the
best things Of the winter, which she de-
clares came always on 'her day." for
the sake of seeing lot of people she
didn't want 10 see, and receiving a
shower of paSteboard from the friends

A Personal Reference.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton, in her speech
to the women OF Sorosts the other day,
said that If the Lord had intended wo-
men to be weak, dependent creatures,
he would have provided for each moth
er's daughter strong right arm to lean
on, instead of creating so many more
women than men that there were not
anywhere near arms enough TO go round.
She told them, too, that self-develop-
ment was higher duty than self-sacri-
fee, a principle which she advocated at
q meeting some years ago where Fred
erick Douglass was present. Douglass
opposed IL on the ground that self-sac-
rifice was the basis of all true religion.
After the discussion had occupied some
little time with its conflicting argu-
ments, an elderly Quaker woman arose
and in her gentle, sweet manner said:
"Frederick, II thee thought that, why
did thee not stay In Maryland in slavery
like a Christian, instead OF running
away to Canada TO enjoy thy freedom
like a man?" And Frederick reconsid-
cred his opinion.

Pretty Cray Luncheon.

A gray Leuten luncheon was given
recently by hostess with gray hair to
eleven other ladies possessing the same
qualification as herself. The ladies fol-
lowed the hostesses, within and appeared
in costumes of gray cloth or silk, and
the maids who served the feast wore
simple gowns OF gray cashmere with
white caps and aprons, frightened with
pink bows. Down through the centre
OF the table was scarf Of gray plush,
and on this, in a low basket silver
enamel. was mound OF carnations
deepening from palest pink to deepest
crimson. Thd table was lighted with
tall candles in silver sticks with pink
shades, and at each plate pink corsage
bouquet was placed. To complete the
harmony the heavy drapery Of the din
ing room had been removed and soft
gray hangings introduced.

Bangs Going Out.

CNicdgO 4hdlt'
Bangs are going out Of fashion,
slowly but surely" remarked a local
hairdreSser. And now that this abom-
inatlon has started on the downward
track to oblivion perhaps it may inter-
est some of the fair ones TO learn where
bangs originated. A great many fash
ions and fads are owed by society to the
stage or TO accidents, but here is one
which is traceable directly to a penal
institution. Years ago the women priS-
oners on Blackwell's Island, New York,
wore no distinctive reformatory mark
except d plain gray dress. When
ever a prisoner escaped she had
only to change her dress and
she could not be distinguished from
the women with whom she mingled out
side the institution. Ten minutes OF
freedom was sufficient to eradicate
every vestige of prison garb, and the
authorities cudgeled their brains to de-
wise some scheme by which to render
Identification easier. Finally they hit
upon the plan Of cutting the prisoners
hair. At first it was proposed TO crop
them, but this was considered too rad
zeal, and, as 4 compromise, the bang
was adopted. II was distinctive mark
and served its purpose admirably until,
by some unaccountable freak Of fash
ion, society took up the matter and
changed a stigma of disgrace into
fashionable fad"

rhe snk Mnist Predominates.

The silk waist dominates the mode.
Ii is the bodice Of most fashionable
tailor gowns, which have the heavy
coat for outdoor wear and the silk skirt
beneath for home use. The variety of
these waists Is greater than ever before,
the leading fancy being waist with a
double gathered frill falling carelesSly
down the front. This frill is sometimes
whipped or buttonhole-sttched with a
contrasting color. One of the novel
ties is a navy blue silk waist with frill-
ings lined with red, the Fittings intro
duced again on the sleeves for height
and breadth at the shoulders. Pleated
collars are introduced on some Of the
black silk blouses, and suspenders OF
the same silk as the waist form part OF
the decoration. A yoke formed OF
shirred spaces between double ruffies
taken up in the silk is often made up in
the softer silks, which end in puff just
below the belt.

The Queen of Italy is described as a
tall, fair-haired lady, little inclined to
be stout, but very pretty. She is a
highly educated woman, with special
taste for literature and knowledge OF
languages, which enables her to talk to
her foreign ambassadors each in his

gift of this greatly beloved Queen,
whom her subjects fondly call the Pearl
of Savoy, ia a rare womanly grace and

AFTER THE GRIPPE.
The Grippe Responsible for More Deaths
After Recovery Than During Its

COurse-HOW Co AvO10 the Dangers
Grippe, in itself, is bad enough, facilitating
enough, but it is the after effects, the slowness
of recovery that give it its great danger. In
most cases, the person did not have sufficient
vitality to rally after the disease itself had
passed The forces of nature were too weak to
contend with the debility which the grippe
had left.
1t is sad to think how many people have died
who might have been saved If nature had been
properly assisted and fortift d after the grippe
had been driven from the system. Many ply
sicians rea lied this fact, and assisted their
patients over the dangerous after effects by
bracing up and stimulating their systems.
This was, and can be, done in but one way, and
that is by the steady aud moderate use of some
pure yet powerful stimulant There is but one
absolutely pure and medicinal stimulant known
to the profession and the public, and that is
Duhy's Pure Malt whiskey. The most promi-
nent scieg' I'D physicians Of the land en-
