The Soufherner at Home.

The southerner at home is prone to
neglect his headgear for the sake of hay
ing his feet well shod, and he will go
about in public places wearing a bat
tered and soiled slouch hat, but scrupu-
lously neat as to his footwear. The pc
culiarity perhaps arises from family
pride, a besetting southern sin, coupled
withthe belief that aristoeracy is evinced
In the shape and size of the feet. 1t is
worthy of note, however, that the south
ern slouch hat is often costly article of
the finest and most durable felt. Such a
hat for winter and a costly and inde-
structible Panama straw for summer are
the proper headgear for southern coun.

Tho Art of Graceful Walking.

1t would seem sometimes that the art
of graceful walking might be numbered
among the lost sciences, SO few women
master the accomplishment or even ac-
quire any approach to perfection in this
exercise, which is the foundation of all
others. Every one succeeds in propelling
themselves along by means of their feet,
but that is not true walking. An Eng
lish authority says, "The body should be
held erect, the shoulders down, chest
extended and the leg moved from the
hip, the whole figure above being i'm
movable. e."-Philadelphia Times.

Altogether Too Familiar.

DIR. A. 7. Pierson, in some pithy, prac-
tical hints on pulpit oratory, says that
to he winning is to be wise, but it must
not be overdone. He has a friend, an
evangelist, who got into the habit Of
calling his audience "dear souls" In
advertently he would say as he passed
from place to place, "Dear Belfast
SOULS" "Dear Dublin souls"-and before
he knew 1t he was saying, "Dear Cork
SOULS" which convulsed his Irish audi
ence.-London Tit-Bits.

Overfastidious Taste.

Men overfastidious in their choice of
tea have been victims of their too vivid
imaginations. One man objected to q
brand of tea purchased by his wife, pro-
nouncing it "weeds," and accordingly
selected choice kind. His next cup of
tea was pronounced perfect. The color
was good, and "That's a cup of tea for
you" was said with emphasis as he drank
the second cup made from the "weeds"
his wife had bought.-Good Housekeep-

AFRICAN Fruit Ruined by rn.ec,..

Half measures are of no avail in deal
ing with the parasitic fly ceratitis-that
scourge of the fruit farmers in South
Africa. Mr.. William Tuck of GralGams-
town, who expresses this opinion, is a
high authority on fruit farming. He
tells Us that in the eastern province
they can never depend on any fruit ex-
cept grapes coming TO ripeness without
damage from hy Larvae, though where,
owing TO high altitude, 900 feet to
5000 and over-there are sharp frosts
every winter such fruits as can stand
the cold are fairly free from the plague,
because the Larvae cannot tide over the
frost
Ii sometimes happens that scarcely
peach ripens in the whole province with
out a worm inside. Mr.. Tuck is for he
role remedies. He is decidedly of opin-
ion that if general and perfect destruc-
ton of all the fruit grown in any one
year could be brought about by the COM
mon consent of the whole body of fruit
growers the fly might be stamped ont.
but he mournfully confesses that the
universal system of "go as you please"
added to the isolated life of cape farms,
renders any such united action of years
self denial for the comsaon good quite
impracticable.-London News.

Washington Society.

The capital of the nation is infested
with human insect that devotes its en-
ergies to boring into places where it is
not wanted. Possibly its kindred exists
elsewhere, but there has been so much
freedom of access to the houses of men
whose careers depend upon popularity,
and so much dread among those in high
places of unwittingly trampling upon
influential feelings, that the breed is es-
pecially encouraged there. Then, again,
there are two notable features which
mark the society of the capitalize pres
ence of officials and statesmen who are
known far and wide, and the absence of
men who are distinguished in the sci
ences and the arts.-H. l.. Nelson in

at total cost Of 81 ,2eO, 900 for printing

One bit Of wisdom may be condensed
into a pithy sentence. Avoid ex9lana-
tions. In some families nothing is taken
for granted. Every action, every deci-
sion, every new departure, every accept
ance or rejection Of an invitation must
be endlessly talked and fused over, ex-
planned and re-explained. In that way
lie all sorts Of stumbling blocks. As n
rule, beyond your parents or y0ur hus-
band there is nobody who has the right
to demand Of you explanations az each
step of your onward path. Don't give
them. Establish a reputation for keep
ing your own counsel. Il viii serve you
