Points in ETIQUETTE.

A hostess need not hold herself re-
sponsible for the likings or dislikings
of her guests. She evades this by
avoiding introductions, but she does
afford her circle the most charming
opportunities for establishing and
maintaining pleasant associations.
Well bred persons know how to con-
tinue an acquaintance thus casually
commenced providing there is a
mutual liking. When introductions
take place at other than formal re.
ceptions, the man is introduced or
presented to the woman unless she is
young and he old and distinguished,
when she Is introduced or presented
to him. The charm Of social liberty
is the freedom to retain as friends
such as are wholly sympathetic to US
according to our individual standards
and tastes

A Tremendous Shaking Up.

This is what every system afflicted with
chills and fever, bilious remittent, or any
other form of malarial disease, undergoes
periodically. Not only is malaria terrible in
itself-it is the breeder of an infnity of bod
lily ailments. Specifics used for its prexen-
ton and removal prove, in the vast majority
of cases, useless for every other purpose than
to mitigate the disease and stave Off its
attacks. They are sure, with the average
treatment, to return after awhile. The suf-
ferer may change his location to healthier
one, but the complaint, which is in his
blood, is not thus lightly got rid of, and re-
turns after the wonted interval. Organic af-
fectiOns of the nerves, heart trouble, gener-
al debility of the system are the offspring of
malaria. Cure the originating cause and
avert future physical injury with Hostetter'S
Stomach Bitters, efficacious also in liver
complaint, inactivity of the kidneys, rheu-
matism and indigestion.

With heavy crop in sight all over the
state of course prices will be much lower
than last year, probably about the same
as in 1891. Dried prunes sold that year
at about 81 cents for 110.140's, and
about AZ cents for 60-70's, making
difference OF l cent per pound between
the two grades, or q matter Of rs cents
per tree.
II think it is admitted that just as
much weight can be obtained by proper
thinning as by letting the fruit mature
at its own sweet will. II that be 80,
then the only question remsins-'will
the extra cent per pound pay the labor
OF thinningr But even If thinning
should cost the entire difference in the
price, there is still in its favor the fact
that the larger product will sell readily
when the smaller is drug in the mar
ket. This proposition is certainly sug-
gestive and should be worth the while
OF our prune growers to think about"

In the moving around of desks and
seating of new senator's there have oc-
Cured some queer swaps. The historic
desks of Sumner, Webster, Henry Clay
and others are considered great prizes,
and if a senator secures possession of
one he clings to it as long as his term
lasts, as is witnessed by the fact that in
the latest change Senator Hoar contin-
ues to lug Summers desk around with
him. The surprise came when some one
wanted to see Roscoe Conkling's desk. 1t
wasn't where it was expected to be, and
the doorkeepers, who have private marks
by which they recognize historic furni-
ture, couldn't find it for long time.
When they did discover it, there was
a gasp, for the desk of the noted New
Yorker was found to be occupied by
Senator Murphy of the same state. Just
how Mr.. Murphy captured such prize
the officers who have charge of the seat
ing don't know, but he has it, and every
one to whom the incident is told has
some wise remark or other to make about
the vicissitudes Of time.-Kate Fields

An experiment In Dai1y Papers.

A singular experiment has just been
made in London in an entirely new direc-
ton. An endeavor has been made by
tinting the paper Of the latest evening
journal to enable it to be read with COM
fort in bad light. The tint which has
been selected is green, but rays of this
color are not present in abundance in
most artificial lights. AS result, with
the bad, smoky fame generally met with
in English omnibuses and railway cars,
the paper. seems to be of dirty gray
color, and were it not for the excellent
quality of the paper and typeit would be
very difficult to read.
1t is found that under the electric arc
lamp the green color shows up, and if
the electric light were in as general use
In England as it is in this country the re-
suit Of the experiment would doubtless
be more satisfactory than at present it
appears to be.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

His Solemn Oath.

A popular comedian tells story of a
waiter at London restaurant who was
sadly given to drink. A party of young
men determined to reform him, and one
day they read to him an imaginary par
agraph from paper relating a terrible
accident in which an inebriate in blow
ing out candle was killed by the fame
igniting the alcoholic fumes of his
breath. James pricked up his ears at
this and requested that the paragraph
might be read to him again, which was
done, to the evident horror Of the poor
man, who Immediately went in search
of Bible.
Returning with this, he expressed a
desire to take solemn oath upon it, be-
moaned the fact that he had been sorry
tippler and was bringing himself to
ruin, and then swore that never again
SO long as he lived would he attempt to
blow out candle-Million.

The Orange Aphis.

The writer was out to the Sespel or.
ange belt last Saturday and learned
many things OF interest concerning that
promising section, particularly in the
fruit line. J. F. Mcintyre, a member of
the horticultural commission, and the
best informed man on entomology in
this part of the state, was visited at his
fine place and shown about through his
apiary and orchard.
The most interesting observation from
horticultural standpoint was an Iex-
PLANTATION OF the orange aphis, eo-called
because OF its liking for the orange tree.
Mr.. Mcintyre pulled leaf. upon the
under side OF which were a great macs
OF little scales or eggs of a brownish
color and about the size of g pin head.
These were the aphis. On the same leaf
were no legs than three other insects
which showed much activity and which
Mr.. Mcintyre stated were the para
sites which were destroying the
aphis. In fact 30 active had thew
been that the scales had been nearly
all eaten. This the enemy do by suck
ing the substance from the scale
and leaving them to dry up. Mr.. Nc
lntyre states that the aphis shows
itself about this time in the year, but
by midsummer they are entirely wiped
out. If 1t were not for these enemies
they would do much damage to the
orange tree, as they would eat the very
tree itself.
Mr.. Mcintyre went on to state that
no really disastrous scale has made it's
appearance, that with care and atten-
ton the trees can be kept free and
healthy.

Not as white saints without @ blot
We celebrate the deeds they wrought
For they were made of average clay,
AS mortal men are made today,
For always in dark hours of need
A man is furnished for the deed,
And always when the stormclouds lower
Strong men are ready for the hour,
And thus from earth's most common breed
Spring heroes fit for every need.
These men were common men, 'tis true,
Just common mon like me and you;
The plain man is the basic clod
From which we grow the demigod.
And in the average man is curled
The hero stuff that rules the world,
And 60 we deck on hill and glen
The hero graves of common men.
Plain common men of every day
Who left their homes to march away
To perish on the battle plain,
As common men will do again
To lift CHASTITY, glazing eye
Up through the belching battle smoke.
Whose continental thunder broke
Like rhythm beats of destiny
To lift ghastly, glazing eye
Up to a lurid, stranger sky,
Until 1t secs painted rag,
The same old common, spangled flag
And then to die and testify
To all the ages far and nigh
How commonplace it is to die.
1t is not merely now and then
We find such hearts in common men.
Such hero souls enwrapt away
In swathing folds of common clay,
For, standing face to face with fate,
All common men are always great
For men are towards in the gloom
OF their own little, selfish fears
Not when the thunder steps of doom
Stride through the trembling years,
And in an open fight with fate
All common men are always great.
Sam Walter Foss.
