Nature has peculiar way Of going
about her business which In general Is
conducive to doubt and awakens pessi-
mistic predictions from the men who
watch the crops. The unalterable fact
that neither scientific nor popular pro-
test weighs in the balance against her
whims is as discomposing as 1t Is alarm
ing. Men look to her for assurances,
and when they are not forthcoming they
begin to doubt; and to doubt is 10 be-
come n prophet of calamity. Last June
there was white frost in all the north
country. 1t blighted vegetation even
as 1t nourished a large crop of pessi-
mists. Peaches were killed! Berry
crop badly damaged! Small fruit ruin
ed! Smash and bow-wows! And now
in these mellowing days of autumn, af-
ter prOtracted silence on all subjects
pertaining to horticulture, the fruit
grower is talking again. He isn't quite
done figuring his totals, but lie has al
ready found that he has more to be
thankful for at harvest than In all the
days of his life. The peach crop is the
largest ever harvested, and it has
brought him more money than ever be-
fore. Berries were good. Everything
has yielded abundantly and has been
marketed to advantage. Peace and
plenty are everywhere. But all this is
no lesson to him who will prate of ca
lamity. Next year, with half the prov
ocation, he will be as bad. He will
torture the community and he will
awaken torturing doubts in the farm
ers among whom he spreads the seed of
doubt and distrust. And there is no
help for it. 1t were easier to re-rcform
natures business methods than to re-
form the man confirmed in the convic-
ton that no matter what happens il is
certain to be disagreeable.

The number Of members or the Grand
army In good standing the Both of last
June was 357 $50. being loss Of 1926
during the year. or this loss only lit
tie over half was by death. The re-
mainder was chiefly due to suspen-
sions. Large as the membership of the
organization Is, the number OF surviv-
Ing old soldiers Is much larger. There
are about 100000 on the pension rolls.
There are many who have applied for
pensions under the law OF 1890, but
have not got them yet. and there are
many who have no pensions and have
not asked for them. So 1t may be deem
ed strange, perhaps, that the Grand
Army has not more members than II
has. But the discrepancy may be ex-
planned by the fact that while veterans
living In city Or village or In a thick
ly settled rural community naturally
come together and form post, there
are many old soldiers who are isolated
and not where they can get at one an
other. Numbers are scattered through
out the remote West and have no
chance to organize. 1t must be remem-
bered also that of those who served as
officers during the war many belong to
the Loyal Legion but not to the Grand
Army.

She Stopped the Car.

AS the cable cars left the LaSalle
street tunnel one day last week the train
was brought to sharp stop, while
there sounded in the Mortified passen-
gers ears the agonized cries of child.
1t was an intense relief to learn that
the baby wasn't under the car wheels;
but something else was under the car,
If not the wheels.
1t was her kitten.
The conductor saw the impending ira
gedy, and, as the little gray thing
headed directly for the car, had made
an effort to save 1t.
The kitten could plainly be seen un.
derneath the car, apparently unhurt,
and looking about her as though much
interested in what she saw. Canes and
umbrellas were thrust at her and many
emphatic commands given, to all Of
which Miss Puss paid no attention.
The passengers enjoyed the joke at
first, and the cats young mistress was
consoled by many womanly, tender
hearts, but when 1t seemed that the
kitten did not intend to come out, those
In hurry became impatient, and at
last it appeared that the only thing
left to do was to start the car and
crush out the poor little kittens life.
Then it was that she suddenly walk
ed out with the satisfied air of one who
has mastered the intricacies of the ca
bic system and was soon clasped in her
adoring mistress arms, while the cable
roceeded.-Chicago Times-Herald

that her husband has utterly failed to

with her but two days since marriage
and has not given her single cent.
She also says that he refused to permit
her to fondle and caress him, and that
he told her that he would not let her
kiss him for $500 cash. She wants an
absolute divorce and $25 n month ali

furs. and in the fall little collarette
or tiny cape Is to be a part OF her street
attire, to protect her against the fresh
ening breath of the autumn air. AS to
fur trimming, it will be quite as plenti-
full and sliced up quite as finely as 1t
was last winter. Costumes are already
appearing that are trimmed with fur
edgings, and one Of these appears in the
third illustration, gown OF black cloth,
a shade that is now In unusually high
favor. The fur is able and appears on
revers, basque and skirt. Steel buttons
in three sizes are put on a skirt, sleeves
and bodice, and the latter has a gather
ed vest of white silk and black silk
belt. TO urge Russian sable for trim
ming Is advice more easily given than
followed, but genuine lace and real
sable have the advantage of being al
ways Just right. More humble peltry
will do, however, and there are guam
titles of 1t in the new trimmings.
Speaking generally, all-clOth gowns
are in greater favor than are those that
combine cloth with silks and velvets,
but there are plenty Of the latter, af-
ter all, for variety must be. attained

ample Of the latter sort that Is to be

above which the front and back are
cut into tabs set off by pearl buttons.

trimmed to harmonic with the skirt

Bursting of Cabbage.

The bursting of growing cabbage may
very easily be prevented by selecting
the heads which show signs Of burst
ing, and starting the roots by pulling
or cutting off some Of the root with a
hoe. The pulling process is preferable.
Putting both hands under the head,
says the National Stockman, pull until
many of the roots are loosened and the
plant is pushed over to one side. This
treatment effectually stops the burst
ing, and not only that, but the cabbage
continues to grow Justify; but have the
qualification Of seeing heads thus treat
ed grow to double the former size and
weight, and all due to this starting the
roots, which checked the growth enough
to prevent bursting, but not enough to
hinder further development There is
no excuse for allowing cabbage to burst
when so effectual means are at hand to
prevent 1t.

jectionable, though there is no denying
that they eat up the dress goods. That
is, in this case, gray cloth and 1t is
trimmed at the skirts hem and up the
front with mohair braid, but the ar
rangement Of the straps and their but
tons Is, of course, the distinctive fea-
ture of the scheme of ornamcntation.
BY a modification of this general idea
straps seams are made to lose much of
their intended effect. They still are a
tailor-made characteristic and give a
manly finish, but when the straps are
permitted to fall into vagaries and
widen here and there for the privilege
of being buttoned down again, the CT
feet produced In some cases Is too sug-
gestive of feminine fancifulness to ac-
cord with tailor styles.
Still, the tailor girl is often Of an in
dependent turn, and she'll have the ac-
cessories that she takes liking to, even
IL they are entirely opposed to the Sc
verify that generally characterizes her

1t Is not good plan to keep food

this Is done they will get fat and lazy,
and not take enough exercise to keep
them In laying condition. 1t Is the best
plan to have a fixed time for feeding
fowls, especially at night, and not feed
them ut irregular intervals. II they
are fed about the same time every even
ing they will soon know when to come
for 1t, and will be content until that
time. If feed is thrown to them at all
sorts of times they will come rushing
around you as soon as you make your
appearance, and good many Of them
will stay close to the house all day In
expectation Of being fed. The best way
to feed hens In the summer is to feed
them In the morning, and again just at
night, and not, give them anything to
eat between times. If kept confined
they will be fed at noon, Of course.

Prof. Francis Wayland, dean CT Yale
law school, says that there was an err
ror of one co. in the report of his adj
dress. in which he was represented as
saying that there were 100000 habit
ual criminals of the train robber and
highwayman class at large in the Unit
ed States. He claims that his figures
were 100000. This does not help 1t
much. There is no such proportion Of
the criminal class at large compared
to the population Of the United States,
from which the criminal classes are re-
cruited. This statement would make
one man in sixty criminal at large,
which is as absurd as the other, except
In degree.

The authorities of the Georgetown
Cd. o. University have prohibited foot
ball. They made up their mind to do
that last year after the death Of one Of
the students from injuries received in
a football game. The officers Of the
university came to the sensible conclu-
sion that the parents of the students
would rather have their children return
alive without football honors than dead
with them, and that IL was the duty of
the officers to do what they could to
prevent the shipping of those children
home in collins. Therefore football Is
tabooed utterly. II the students want
to give baseball and other athletic
sports more time than they have been

Public schools in California.

Facts as to the development of the
public school system of California show
that although 1t Is only forty-seven
years since the first school house was
built In the State, yet now the annual
expenditure for public schools Is nearly
100000 and $500 teachers are en-
ployed in instructing 100000 pupils.
These teachers are paid more literally
than in any other State, and they rank
high in efficiency. The State Univer-
sity and its affiliated colleges have been
very literally endowed and the compc-
tition of Stanford University has helped
instead Of injuring it. The bequest Of
J. G. Wilmerding of 100000 for the es-
adjustment of school in which boys
may learn trades has fallen due and
this new technical school will be under
the State University and every effort
will be made to render 1t efficient.

Small Farms.


An interesting experiment In turning
large farms into small holdings, which
may help to solve the agricultural prob
lem In England, was recently completed
in Dorsetshire, according to the Eng
lish Magazine. Sir Robert Edgecomb
seven years ago bought farm Of three
hundred and forty acres, spent
money in building roads and wells, d.
vided 1t up into twenty five holdings Of
from two to thirty-three acres, and
offered them for sale, payment to be
made In ten equal annual instalments.
Purchasers were readily found of all
trades and classes, eight only being
agricultural laborers; and all the install
ments, with light exceptions, have al
ready been paid off. Instead Of a
farmer and three laborers, there are
now twenty-five families Of seventy-five
persons on the land. which has In
creased in value from f170 to 1913 a
year.

Capes Of smooth cloth, cut round and

are worn well apart in front, the edges

The experiments now being made in

The experiments now being made in
Western packing-houses are expected
to result in highly condensed animal
foods which soldiers can carry on
forced marches. Though frequently
useful, such foods are never likely to
become popular. 1t has not been prov
ed that they are dangerous, but deaths
have followed their use often enough
TO suggest that they are liable to un-
dergo disorganization not close enough
to ordinary putrefaction to be easily
detected. Perhaps the suspicion is
wholly unjust, but there is no doubt
a limit beyond which dead animal
matter cannot be safely kept for food
under any process
