In the newly published letters of Cole
ridge there are various references to his
advent as student in one of the German
universities. Particularly interesting Is
the poets confession that he has begun to
smoke four pipefuls of tobacco day,
whereas one day had been his allowance
in England. He found it to be common
form of amusement at the university for
number of young men to smoke out u can

tobacco smoke to extinguish the taper 5

to smoke before breakfast, as it ''invigo-

branch of the vinc life size, thrown across
it would lock exceedingly well hung over
the sidcboard in dining room, and Deco
rator and Furnisher gives the following
directions for painting it:
The grapes should be of a transparent
purple not too dark. The treatment
throughout must be realistic, so as to be
in keeping with the design. The entire
surface of the panel should first be tinted
with delicate shade of green. Ccladon
green will answer the purpose admirably.
When quito dry, the design can be deli
cately transferred to the china. The ground
tint within tho outlines Of the fruit must
be erased For the rest it need not be dis
turbed, since the green's for the foliage will
blend with it.
The. grapes can be rendered with mix
ture of purple No. 2 and ultramarine blue.
BY varying the proportions so as 70 make
the shadows somewhat warmer-that is,
redder in tone than the lights-a much bet
ter effect will bo gained. 1t should be re-
membercd that purple No. Q, when used
alone, fires very near the color of crimson
lake. 1t has no pretensions to purple
tone in spite of its name.
In planting the foliage take moss green
of beautiful pale yellow green for the
tendrils and for first wash on the yoan-
ger leaves, also on the lighter side of the
large leaves. To give variety add to it
some deep blue green to complete the first
tone on the shadow side Shade up when
dry with brown, green and dark green
No. Z. 4 little violet of iron hero and
there will enhance the effect. The entire
design should be clearly outlined also with
violet of iron.

APPLIQUE EMBROIDERY.
This Form of Decorative Needlework In
Especially Adapted to CoIored Linens.


The colored linens are ENJOYING n syraat
deal of favor just now, and certainly they
are boon to jewellers in towns, with whom
sle "hlte work SO soon becomes soiled by
iogs and smuts. Many of the white linen
eoous TO be had in the shops are made I'D
with corners and hens of the colored ma
terial, but if the article needed is to be
MADE entirely of the colored fabric it is
very economical to buy this by the ward
ana TO make it up after embroidering it.
applique ought not to be overlooked
now that colored linens ha' cen brought
10 such perfection. Charming heraldic de-
signs have lately been brought out made
OF pale blue linen laid upon white and in
1enueo TO be outlined and partially filled
In with embroidery stitches. The worker

que Tor herself. If she irons off a bold
transfer pattern upon the colored linen, all
she has to do, according to a writer in Cas-
sells Magazine, is to lay this upon a white
material and to tack it well into place
The outlines on the tinted fabric should
then be worked closely with buttonhole
stitch, the straight edge of which should
set toward the outside of the design, with
out exception. The stitches should all be
taken through both materials
a few open filings, dots and lace stitches
are great improvement and tend to great
ly enrich the work, though at the same
time these must not be made so closely to-
gether as to entirely cover the colored ma
terial. When sufficient embroidery has
been executed, the colored linen should be

The postmaster general has just issued
an order endorsing and extending the
operation of the system Of sending daily
weather bulletins from central offices to
large districts of small country offices,
where they are posted each day for the
benefit of the public. This system was
originated by Mr. Stinson, when postrnas-
ter in this city, and by request OF Gen.
Wanamaker in cooperation with the
weather bureau, the bulletin was supplied
for three months to over 100 offices daily
from Augusta, after which it became
permanent. The success OF the system led
to its immediate adoption by the depart
ment of agriculture, and by the end of the
year over 5000 offices were being supplied
with a daily weather bulletin in this man
ner. The order of the postmaster general
calls for the general cooperation OF post
masters to extend this system generally On
account Of its great Importance to the
public; SO that 1t will gradually cover the
whole country.

shows the results Of careful training and
unusual culture.
Two beautiful solos by Miss Addie
Weeks and charming recitation, with a
musical refrain, by Miss Maudc Andrews

The Ex-State senator Selected by the
New jersey Republicans.
The republican state convention at Tren-
ton, N j., yesterday afternoon nominated
John W. Griggs of Union county, ex-state
senator, and a prominent lawyer. for gov
ernor His chief competitor was ex-Con-
gresham John Kean, jr., who was the
candidate against Gov. Werts three years
ago. On the first ballot Griggs was the
leader with 204 votes to 207 for Kean.
There were S47 delegates and 42i votes
were therefore required for a choice. On
the second ballot Griggs' vote Jumped to
1913, Kean getting 24S.
During the progress Of the third ballot
Griggs gained steadily and finally there
was a stampede, which resulted in mis-
nomination by reclamation.
The platform says:
1--WE reaffirm our devotion to the national
policy Of our party; our opposition to any
attempt to impose upon this country a
6ebased or deprecated currency, and our
firm belief in the wisdom and beneiicence
of tax upon imports which will afford
protection to American industry and ade-
quale revenue"

THE KITE DUE AT ST. JOHNS.
Peary Relief Party's Stay North May
BE Prolonged.

Penry Relief Pnrty's Stay North May
BE Prolonged.
The Peary relief expedition is due at st,
Johns, N. F., from Greenland, today, and
will probably arrive, barring accident. The
relief steamer Kite should have left st.
Johns July /. but putting in new shaft
detained her until July IL. She reached
Holsteinberg, south Greenland, July %, af-
ter long and stormy passage.
TIL. news of her reaching Holsteinberg
was brought by q fishing schooner, which
reported little ice. Experienced mari
ners fear that this means that the ice is
heavily packed in Melville bay, which will
make the passage of the Kite an unusually
difficult task. Last year the Falcon. which
conveyed the relief party, spent three
weeks trying to force her way through the
ice pack, and ultimately had to communi-
cate with Peary by sending men to land
over the Ice. She could not overcome the
delay in starting, and reaching Greenland
may cause postponement, which will pro-
long the Kites stay north.
The party Of scientists who went with
her were promised two months for expior-
ing and for making collections of animals,
birds and glacial data. These men will
continue working SO long as prudent, but
some of them must be in their universities
by October 1. -1- /
