1T WAS ALL RIGHT.
The Aged Father Opposed It at First, but
He Didn't Know.
my daughter, be not deceived

my daughter, be not deceived
AS the aged father laid his hand caress-
ingly on the head Of the beautiful girl who
knelt at his feet there was a suggestion of
deep seriousness in his voice.
''This young man who has asked you to
marry him, he said, 'shas all of the out
ward Establishments that attract young
girl, but if l mistake not he is lacking in
those deep and solid traits which alone are
the best materials that husbands are made
of. You tell me he has an artists nature,
which, beautiful and attractive in itself, I
fear''-'
"But father
CLEAR me out, continued the old man
(Which, I fear, will never put money in
his purse. You tell me that he is learned
and has history upon the tips of his fin
gers, but is this the knowledge that will
surround you with the comforts of life9
You speak of him as poetical in his IDEAS
with some literary ability. All, my daugh-
ter, will his taste for literature put bread
in your mouths? I grant you the young
fellow is attractive, and that he is perse-
vering, as you tell me, speaks in his favor;
but, believe me, the best love is the most
practical, my dear. 1t is love that counts
the dollars and looks out for the material
well being. Has this young man shown
any capacity in this direction?''
The beautiful creature at his side looked
up triumphantly into the old man face.
Eyes, indeed, father she joyfully re
piled. 81 have not told you before, but
he has one of the best collections of Ma
poleonic relics on record
And then the shrewd old financier, his
form trembling with deep emotion, gath
cred her in his arms as he exclaimed:
my daughter, will you forgive me? 1
could not have picked out better man

It Is Mirrored In the National Exhibition
at KiOtO.
Kioto, aptly termed the heart Of ia
pan, and the most interesting and fasci-
mating city in the Mikado's domain,
is now holding a national exposition.
This year is called the Heianseuto XII
nensai," and the fair commentaries the
eleven hundredth anniversary of the
establishment of the ancient capital
at Kioto by the iftieth emperor Or
kwanmu. The quaint old city, always
a beehive Of industry, is now buster
than ever, and from end to end is pro-
fusely decorated with banners and at
night illuminated with colored lights.
From the top of every house flies the
''rising sun" flag, and on the front of
each is a lantern.
While the exhibition as viewed by oc-
cidental eyes is not great or particularly
extensive, it is full of interest and
thoroughly representative of Japanese
genius, handicraft and industry The
buildings are large, airy and clean, and
the grounds we'll kept and admirably
arranged. Though great crowds are here
gathered, the utmost good order pre-
walls. The price of admission is only
sen, about cents of American money

being very extensive display. One Of

GRASS. LINEN ACCESSORIES.

The fancy for collars and other ac-
cessories OF ecru grass-linen on sum-
mer dress, according to Harper's Ba-
Ear, grows rapidly, and each week
novelties are shown among them.
They are thought far more stylish as a
finish to dark dresses OF crepon or OF
mohair than are the collars of heavy
lace worn last summer or the velvet
revers so long used. The grass-linen
of which they are made is known to
some as ecru linen batiste and to
others as grass-cloth. 1t is sheer and
fine linen in the ecru or unbleached
tint of flax, a shade not always becom-
ing, and requiring often bit OF yell
low lace or a colored neck ribbon
violet or rose--to make 1t so. 1t IS
especially liked in very large collars
wrought all over or else merely bor-
dered with open eyeleted English en-
broidery, which is also known as Ma
deira- These are for sale in the
shops in many stylish shapes-square'
cornered or pointed, fiat or godeted,
haring out as epaulettes, and coming
down in front in revers or in a single
point to the belt. Such collar trims

ciennes trims light tafieta silks, or
those of embroidered nainsook COM

Cuffs of embroidered grass.linen are
made to match the large coilarettes.
There are also straight collar bands OF
this embroidery, and many smaller
pieces meant to turn over on collar
band of ribbon.
1t is considered good style to have
the entire blouse waist OF the ecru
linen. with dark blue canvas used for
the sleeves and skirt. When COM
pleted by stock collar and narrow
belt of rosy-violet velvet or satin this
is u favorite summer dress with young
women and with girls still in their
teens. The waist may be OF plain
linen or eyeleted, but it should have a

same.

MANAGEMENT OF DUCKLINGs.

Ducks are the most easily reared of
all domestic fowls, when properly
treated. Breeding ducks must be kept
warm and comfortable through the
cold months. Coop by themselves,
with no other poultry. In January
and February they begin to lay. They
lay very early i'll the morning, and
their eggs must be gathered before
they become chilled. Keep them,
large end down, on wheat bran for
warmth. A thin blanket over them at
night will help retain warmth. but
it should be removed in the morning.
Put the eggs under common hens they
make better mothers. Keep the ducks
laying and the hens setting, for they
grow fast and are most profitable on
our early market. Incubation requires
twenty-eight days. When hatched
look after them, for the young ducks
are very shy, and the hen does not
know how to manage them at first.
Each hen should be placed in house
end yard by herself. Feed at first
boiled eggs and corn-mea bread, and
always keep water by them in shallow
dishes. As they mature feed coarser
food, boiled potatoes and more water,
and some green stuff, such as kale or
turnips, also fresh meat and but little
grain. Do not let them get wet in a
heavy rain. Wallowing in swamp
mud is better than letting them go to
ponds or streams. American Agricu,-

CLOVER AS A FERTILIZER.

There is very little difference in the
chemical constituents of the different
species of clover, but they vary great
ly in their growth, some being ex-
ceedingly feeble and dwarf in habit,
while others are rank growers. White
clover is of dwarf growth, more suit
able for lawns and sheep pasture than
for fertilizer. The common red
clover is the species most generally
employed for what is called green
manuring or ploughing under in the
more Northern States, but in Della
ware and Maryland an animal species
called scarlet clover is the favorite for
this purpose. 1t is sown late in sum-
mer and then ploughed under the fol-
lowing spring rs soon as it comes into
bloom. 1t takes two seasons to get
good stand of red clover, although on
some very rich soils the plants might
reach fair size the first season If the
seed is sown in March, but as n rule
they are not large enough for turn
ing under until the second
year. In our opinion, however,
it would bea waste of time to raise
clover to make compost for violets,
because you can secure the same fer
tilizing materials in one-quarter of the
time by simply using the common
varieties of the garden pea, and more
than twenty times the amount on the
same area of land. Sow the peas in
rows as usual, and when the vines are
well filled with green and half-ripened
pods pull up and compost between lay
ers of good, rich soil. You can raise
several successive crops of the peas in q
season, adding each to your compost
heap, and by turning it over once
month, You will secure what you are
seeking in one season instead OF hav
ing to wait two, and then perhaps fail
unless the weather is favorable. Peas
and clover belong to the same family
of plants, and if you will look up the
chemical analysis of both, you can see
how slight is the difference in thei
composition. If you want to get thu
full benefit of the peas for fertilizer
compost the seeds and all the root
pulled up with the vines. Common
garden beans may be utilized in In
same way, and are almost equal t.
peas for green manuring, New Hor|
