luxury of contrast. The Riviera is
charming in December; imagine Lon
don, and Cannes is paradise"
AS he smiled assent in the grateful
laziness of hard worked man, his
mind was stung with the remem-
brance of a young wife swathed in
the dreary fog, who, above all things,
loved the open air and the shining of
the sun.
Her plea was that BERTHE would
weary alone, and that she hated trav-
cling; but it came to him quite sud
denly that this was always the pro-
gramme of their holidays-some
Mediterranean villa full of clever
people for him, and the awful dulness
of that Bloomsbury street for her; or
he went North to shooting lodge,
where he told his best stories in the
smoking-room, after long day on
the purple heather; and she did her
best for BERTHE at some watering
place, much frequented on account
of its railway facilities and economi-
cal lodgings. Letters of invitation
had generally polite reference to
his wife-"If Mrs. Trevor can &C
company you, l shall be still more
delighted" but it was understood
that she would not accept.
1--WE have quite grudge against
Mrs. Trevor, because she will never
come with her husband; there is
some beautiful child who monopo-
Lies her." his hostess would explain
on his arrival; and Trevor allowed it
to be understood that his wife was
quite devoted to BERTHE, and would
be miserable without him.
When he left the room it was ex
planned, 'Mrs. Trevor is a hopelessly
quiet person, what is called good
wife, you know.
"The only time she dined with us,
Tottie Fribbyl-he was Theoso-
phist then, it's two years ago-was
too amusing for words, and told us
what incarnation he was going
through.
'Mrs. Trevor, believe, had never
heard of Theosophy, and looked
quite Mortified at the idea of poor
Tottie's incarnation.
"'Isn't it profane to use such
words? she said to me. So l
changed to skirt dancing, and would
you believe me, she had never seen
it,
"What can you do with woman
like that? Nothing remains but re-
ligion and the nursery. Why do
clever men marry those impossible
women7"
Trevor was gradually given to
understand, as by an atmosphere,
that he was brilliant nan welded
to dull wife, and there were hours
his worst hours-when he agreed.
"Cara mia, Cara mia" sang the
sailors; and his wife's face, in its
perfect refinement and sweet bea uty,
suddenly replaced the Mediterra-
mean.
Had he belittled his wife, with her
wealth of sacrifice and delicate ma
ture, beside women in spectacles who
wrote on the bondage of marriage,
and leaders of fashion who could
talk of everything, from horse-racing
to palmistry9
He had only glanced at her last
letter; now he read it carefully:

Pruning Tomatoes ~ . Field Crop.
Most all the tomato raisers who plant
with view to marketing advocate the
pruning Of tomatoes. This pruning re-
qulres prompt attention. or else there
Is danger Of doing more harm than
good. Pruning should be commenced
when the plants are about one foot
high. 1t IL generally best to reduce
them to one stem or stalk. At every
leaf there are two buds; one IL q bud
for a branch of the vine. and the other
is fruit bud.
By removing the branch bud you
readily see that most Of the growth

The Jew. Ir.rp.

Reference is made In the new Quar-.
terly Statement of the Palestine ex-
ploration fund.- to paragraph which
appeared recently in the Daily News
on the subject Of that strangely named
instrument, the Jews harp. Why a
Jews harp? 1t has often been asked.
and no satisfactory solution, so far as
we are aware. has ever been afforded.
The writer in the Palestine exploration
funds organ thinks the term may be
derived from "jeu-harpc." or toy harp.
This suggestion is not new, for Il Is to
be found In Richardson's Dictionary
and other works of reference, but 1t IL
clearly inadmissible. In French ..iouct"
Is toy, not "jeu." and, moreover.
"yeu" Ia a substantive, and cannot DOS.

what similar sound. 1t is not possible
that 1t is derived from the French word
"guimbarde," which refers to the same
instrument or p0sslblyfrom the word
unknown. whence this was derived.
The difference between ''guimbarde'
and Jews harp Is, nfter ali, less than
that between "eveque" and "bishop,"
which are both from "episcopus." The
tendency to convert unknown words
into words that are knon is very COM

~ washing Process Which Removes
81 shine and Soil.
The proper way Of restoring old
clothes is us follows: Take, for in
annce, shiny old coat, vest or pair Of
trousers of broadcloth, cashmere or
diagonal. The sco,,rer makes strong,
warm soapsuds. and plunges the gar
ment into 1t. sO,lses 1t up and down,
rubs the dirty places, and, II necessary,
puts 1t through twice; then rinses
It through several waters, and hangs 1t
np to dry on the line. When nearly
dry lie takes 1t in, rolls 1t up for an
hour or two, and then presses it. An
old cotton cloth is laid Oh the outside
! Of the coat and the iron passed over
that until the wrinkles are out; and
the iron is removed before the steam
ceases to rise from the goods, else they
would be shiny. Wrinkles that are
obstinate are removed by laying a wet
cloth over them and passing the iron
over that. II any shiny places are
seen they are treated as the wrinkles
are-the iron is lifted while the full
cloud of steam rises and brings the
nap with it. Cloths should always have
q suds made specially for them, rs in
that which has been used for white
cotton or WOODEN cloths lint will be
left in the water and will cling to the
cloth
In this manner we have known the
same coat and trousers to be renewed
time and time again. and have all
the look and feel of new garments.
Good broadcloth and its fellow cloths
will bear many washings, and look bet.

fear the next child soon to he born to

that prayers have been offered in some
of the churches by the superstitious,

emperor has seven sons. As William

one daughter, 1t will be understood that

able than the lucky number seven. But

introducing the italic letter he con-

How n Fish Comes to the surface

A curious physiological discovery has
been made by Prof. Bohr Of Copenha-
gen In regard to the mode Of storage
by which a fish accumulates 20 much
oxygen in the air that distends the
swimming or mir bladder.
The air contained therein has q per-
centage of oxygen that may rise to az
much as Us, nm amount much In excess
OF the percentage in atmospheric air.
Prof. Bohr tapped the air bladders of
Goldfish and drew on the gas by means
Of trocar and alright syringe. The
gas had Sc per cent Of oxygen. In q
few hours the air bladder was reilled,
apparently BY process Of secretion Of
gas from the blood In the capillaries
on the wall Of the bladder, In one ex.
pertinent the gas thus secreted haA 80
per cent Of oxygen. When the nerves
connected with the organ were severed
tbs secretion ceased and the organ was
not refilled.
