suit, the bride a high neck white
gown. The bridesmaids and bridal
party are in high neck dresses, as it
is considered the height OF impro-
priety to enter a church decollete.
After the service-during part of
which the bridal couple sits on chairs
with their backs to the congregation
the bridesmaids take up collec-
ton, passing purses made OF the
same material as their dresses The
proceeds are given to the poor.
The question is often asked. Are
French marriages usually happy?
AS rule, they are more so than
American marriages. The man is
carefully selected by the brides
parents, who are able to judge what
will prove suitable match than a
girl OF twenty, VINO knows so little of
the world, and has seen so few men,
that she is commonly ready to love
the chosen one. 1t is the fashion
for French writer's to deal with
immortality of all sorts, and this gives
foreigners false idea OF things. AS
a matter of fact, the standard of the
middle classes is quite as high in
France as in America, while the So
called upper circles are above the
same in all countries.

builder of the Alton road at salary Of
Sroo month to superintend the con-
struction of model car. The inventor
was determined that it should be the
handsomest car in all respects that had
been made in the country. He came
on to New York and here happened to
meet the artist who had just decorated
the house of Samuel J. Tilden. He
at once closed with this artist, took him
west and set him at work decorating
the car.
When the Pioneer was finished it had
cost the extraordinary sum of SIS, 900,
large price even now for sleeping
car. 1t was a wonder to everybody.
1t was just as Pullman had expected.
The beauty of the finish and the marvel
Gus innovation he had made were
advertised far and near by the newspapers
and by railroad men, and some of the
latter began to believe that the ideas OF
the inventor after all were practicable.

Some physicians claim that the tonic
action rubbing has on the skin of the
hands has been found to alleviate, if
not cure, excessive perspiretion of those
members.
1t is superhuous to add that hands,
no matter how shapely, can never be
beautiful nor in presentable shape when
crowned with unkept nails. A special
ist in the art OF manicure, or nail
culture, gives the following hints for
their care: "The free border of the
nails should be trimmed as often as
once week, and in as perfect an oval
shape as possible. For this purpose a
nail file should be used, but never a
knife nor scissors cutting with either
makes the edge of the nails brittle.
For this same reason the surface of the
nails should never be scraped, nor
should the under side Of the freeborder
be cleaned with other than a blunt
instrument or nail brush. The free
margin of the scariskin should never be
pared, nor should it be allowed to ad-
here to or grow over the lunula, the
half moon at the base of the nails.
Breaking the edge of the scarf skin
whether by pairing or permitting it to
grow over and cleave off from the nails
at will, will always be followed by hang
nails, and these unpleasant things can
be avoided only by keeping the margin
of the scarf skin free and unbroken.
This can be done by simply pusing It
back from the nails with regular
presser or a soft towel, daily at first,
then only occasionally, when it shows
an inclination to intrude on forbidden
ground. To be truly beautiful the
nails must have a highly polished
surface. This can be attained by
rubbing them freely with piece of dry
chamois, skin, either wound around the
finger of the opposite hand or curved
piece of wood.
Regular nail polishers can be bought
for from SO cents piece upward;
finger and nail brushes combined for
20 cents and upward, and nail files,
with presser at one end and pai! cleaner
at the other, tor IS cents, upward, thus
making it possible for women OF limited
means to have all the essential articles
of manicure Set at very little
cost

DO TREES KNOW2
Why a Root Finds Its Way to
the Water 1t Needs.

1t is sometimes hard to understand
how the roots or shoots of plants are
able to do what they do in their
apparent search for water or light,
without special consciousness or
intelligence, and yet we know that
they possess no such qualities. The
following case is recorded by Cali.
fornia paper:
The root of tree followed the
brick casing of sewer until 1t
reached high brick wall, in which,
several feet above the level on which
the root was growing, was small
hole leading through to the other
side. For this hole the root made a
bee line, passed through it and ran
down the other side, where finally il
found the water it sought.
The questions are asked by the
journal that records the case: How
did the tree know of the hole in the
wall2 How did it know of the water
on the other side?
The answer made by botanist is
very simple one. The tree did
not know anything about the hole
or the water, for trees do not know
anything. But they send out thei1
roots in every direction. Those
that find moisture and nutriment
grow and thrive; and those that fine
none die and waste away.
The root in the case in question
was probably turned upward by the
wall, so that its discovery OF the holt
was purely accidental. But once
through that aperture, its discovery
of the water below was perfectly
natural.
The roots of trees do know-no
of their own consciousness, but a
the result of countless ages of growtl
in their kind-how to push on II
the direction of water.

LAUNDERING LINEN.

Again and again housekeepers
are told never to allow linen to be-
come thoroughly dry before ironing,
for it is almost out Of the question
to make it smooth after once wrink-
les are dried into it. In hanging
out linen, especial care should be
taken to shake it and smooth it SO
that no creases caused by wiring ing
it shall be left in it. Some house
keepers-those who have small wash
ings and plenty OF time-shake
towels out thoroughly, fold the two
ends together and pin the fringe to
the line, putting in one pin at each
corner and one in the middle. They
claim that the constant whipping of
the fringe wears the ends of the
towels out much more quickly than
is necessary.
There is a good theory in this and
the additional time is worth while
unless strength and help are of more
importance than towels.
Pillow cases should be turned
wrongside out and-Pinned to the
line by the closed end. E7ceP!lon
may be made to this rule on dull or
damp days when the clothes dry
slowly; then they should be pinned
to the line at one side OF the open
end. but it is worth while for con-
venience in ironing to change them
and let them finish drying pinned
by the closed end.
1t is a good plan, always consider
ing, OF course, whether time and
strength will allow, to take linen
sheets and table cloths from the
line when about half dry, shake
them and smooth them out, fold
them once over and hang them over
the line without any stretching or
pulling. A couple of pins at a little
distance from either edge will keep
them in place. This gives more
line room, which is often greatly
needed, and allows the pieces to dry
in much better shape.
Many laundresses seem to think
that clothes may be flung on the line
any way whatever, wrinkled, folded
or twisted, as the case may be; but
this means just so much additional
work when ironing day comes.
Things that are done right in the
first place save much labor and per-
plexity as we'll as not little wear
and tear of the articles themselves.

GLORY OF YOUTH.
There Are Many Girls That Are
Like HOt-HOuse Flowers.

Alice Hamilton Rich is clearly
woman OF sense. Like all woman, she
lays mitch stress upon the superior
value and glory of youth, nevertheless
she is wise counselor.
We have all, she writes, seen hot
house plants forced forwarded until
they have long, slender stalks, few
large leaves and snowy blossoms at top.
Who has not seen girls that look like
hot house flowers, have blossomed into
what they and their mothers term
young ladyhood7 The cluster of
flowers Oh the slender stalk, too pain
fully large, in contrast to the stem, to
be restful, one fells like plucking and
placing in a comfortable vase. So one
feels a sense of pain and loss for the
young girl, who, without strength,
experience and thought. which slow
growth from childhood into woman
hood alone can give, by forcing
becomes young lady in appearance,
but not in years. Brilliant, like the
flowers, the unnatural growth has left
her no time to be filed with high pur-
pose, or the mind with beautiful
thoughts. Without the enthusiasm of
happy, generous childhood she soon
becomes faded and old.
As the flower that has strength Of
neither root nor branch is thrown aside
by the gardener, so the old young girl is
soon forgotten and neglected, while the
Young old woman is loved and honored
One at I6 was to all appearances,
young lady. Even then her girlhood
was so far in the background that
scarce its memory remained. Life
was painfully real to her, to her the
pressure of duty hard and stern. Con-
scientious to fault, she had no time
to pass in folly and nonsense. The
companion of young women OF 20, she
was thought to be as old. For time
she was admired and sought, but she
had not the culture OF years of study
and thought, and soon seemed COM
monplace and uninformed, and at FL it
was said: What pity she had not
fulfilled the promise OF her youth
Ahead she had passed beyond both girl
hood and young ladyhood. The other
at 16 had just bldden goodbye to her
dolls. In fact, she was still so fond Of
them that, partly as an excuse to work
with them, and partly because she she
loved children and still clung to her
own childhood, she passed many happy
hours fashloning dainty garments for the
dolls of her little friends. Birds, flowers
outdoor plays had lost none of their
charms. The two had been friends,
but their ways parted, never to be re-
united ; for to one young ladyhood was
as far in the future as was childhood in
the past of the other. No one thought
of the second, save as not overpromis
ing young girl but the few who knew
her best loved her, and they were those
of her own household. But wise
mother was watching over the transi.
ton period, and at Al the bud became
beautiful flower-a woman, with
strength OF purpose, cultivated thought
helpful experience and the home hear
that gave her empire in the domestic
| circles and raised her value 'above
rubies."

our SUMNER STORMS.
Those of the Present Compared with
Those Of the Past.

UNION HILL, NELSON COUNTY. VAL
July IS. 1898.
To ne Editor of ne Dispatch.
The description of the climate of Tide
water Virginia referred TO by III. b." in
the DISPATCH Of July 10th will be found
rather more explicitly given in the HIS
.orie of Travaile Into Virginia." by Will
liam Strachey. as published by the Hak-
luyt Society Opp. 29-30h and in the Ash
mole manuscript, 1853.
Strachey's manuscript was written prior
to July. 1912. and Smiths was published
after November. 1919. but written at an
earlier period. and revised 30 late as after
March, 1912. | DO not know whether
Smith or Strachey Cf ether was the origi-
nal author-both of them made some use
of description written by William White,
which is mentioned In contemporary print
and manuscripts, but is now mostly miss
lng.
Neither do know the origin OF our
summer storms. What | am very anxious
to know is as to the force Of the winds.
Are the winds becoming stronger than IN
former years? Twice this year we have
mad winds so stroug as TO blow down
fences, trees, ETC., and the storm OF April
houses blew of part Of the tin roof of
my dwelling-house, and blew down. two
large chimneys which had withstood the
storms of Il6 winters. II Ia true that this
is no proof that 10 was the strongest WIND
in il6 years, because the chimneys ne
cessarily became weaker with increasing
age. And, strange to say, l found on
reference to Colonel William Cabelps
diary that these ohinneys were blown
down by q violent wind on March Is, l777,
and had TO DO rebuilt. So 1t seems
that we had strong winds here over
a hundred years ago. But many main
tain that owing 10 the cutting down OF the
forests and other causes that the winds
are becoming stroDger-or more apt to do
damage-on the face OF the earth. This
msy be so. Some changes seem 10 me to
be going on up aloft." When first
came to live here II we saw rain-clouds 10
the northwest Of US we were quite sure OF
getting some OF the rain now, these clouds
are quite sure 10 pass to the north of US, and
our rams are more apt to come from the
southwest or from the east. Our violent
winds come almost directly from the
west. The storm of the 25th instant men
toned in the DIspATCH as reaching Rich
mond at p 81. arrived here at about
twenty minutes TO 2 p. M. The wind was
strong, but | have heard OF no damage OF
consequence. ALEXANDER BROWN.
