Their value is often partially lost by i'm
proper pruning or training. We refer on
the present occasion particularly to such as
are seen on ornamental grounds. The mis-
take is made of shearing them to close

OIL AS CLEANSER.
And now comes the recommendation that
oil be used in cleansing the face instead of
water. Learn a lesson from the actresses. says
a writer upon this subject. If an actress tried
10 wash with soap and water the nightly make
mp from her face she would have no skin to
speak of left in week, TO say nothing about
a complexion. She never makes any such mis-
take. She removes her makeup with oil, usu-
ally and preferably cocoa oil. And she learns
by experience TO do the same thing when she
wants to get rid of the CRIME of travel.
Oil cleans the skin more thoroughly than
soap and water as you car thoroughly demon

rerience ii you don't mind the abuse Of your

Some Practical Suggestions for Our
Agricultural Readers


Beautiful and Useful Hedges for the Farm.
Since the almost universal introduction OF
wire fences, many have been led TO suppose
that hedges will be no longer needed. But
this IS doubtless partly mistake, for there
are several occasions in which hedges may
prove advantageous, as well as objects Of
positive landscape beauty. Evergreen
hedges may be made to exclude the sight,
and may be made impossible barriers.
They are particularly useful, if thorny, for
surrounding fruit gardens; and allowed to

Notes.

The Michigan Experiment Station gives
out valuable point on the quality of pota-
toes. Put the potatoes in brine, and the
tubers poorest ia starch will come to the
surface. The light potatoes are soggy when
cooked, while those containing the most
starch will be mealy. This is testing pota-
toes by their specific gravity" and as the
method is very simple and cheap one, it is
worthy of attention. The suggestion is
good one, not only for growers but for con-
sumers.

warlike message suggests Is mainly which of the two parties is likely to get most capital during the presidential year out of this Venezuelan dispute. That we are going, in the name of the Monroe doctrine, to assert such ownership of the American hemisphere as will enable us to trace all the boundary lines on it to our own satisfaction in defiance of the rest of the world, is a thesis which we do not be- leye is yet ripe for discussion. What interests us most Is how his proposal to appoint tracing commission will strike the republicans. Will they give him the money for its expenses, and enable him all next year to pose as the war candi- date for the presidency? Or is his pro- posal sufficiently near war to make it a delicate matter to reject it. in view of the jingo vote2 Will they consent to have him put his own men on the commission, and thus get weekly glory out of the whole business between now and next October? These are the most important questions now pending. MT. Cleveland showed In 1888 by his treatment of poor Sackville- West that he was not incapable of using foreign questions to achieve domestic victories. The present message shows that his party may still count on him for further assistance from the same source"

Four thousand Spaniards under General Pando are said to be fac- ing large body of insurgents, and when the Olivette left Havana it was believed that great battle would occur in twen- ty-four hours. It is reported in Havana that the Madrid government has ordered Campos to make desperate efforts to break the power of the insurgents within the next few weeks. The finance minis ter has cabled Campos that unless de- cisive victories are won over the in- surgents shortly Spain will be unable to procure money to maintain an army on the island. Campos is urged to sup press the rebellion no matter by what methods

Baltimore, Md, Dec. 19.-Special reports to the Manufacturers Record show an increas- ing southward movement of population from the west and northwest. dispatch from Georgia giving particulars regarding the colony which is being established on the 100, 900 acres of land recently purchased by western people, shows that within three months over $500 people have settled on the property and 800 permanent houses are now under construction there. The organizer of this colony, Mr. F. F. Fitzgerald of Indiana, states that it will be projected as an out come of the movement inaugurated last winter by Mr. R. H. Edmonds, editor of the Manufacturers Record. for the shipment of grain and provisions to the northwest, where there was such suffering on account of the short crops.

A. Step Grand-Grandma.

Harmony between the Montgomery Advertiser and the Birmingham State Herald is similar to an irresistible force coming in contact with an immovable substance-Morgan County Herald.
 About ten years ago. the defunct Dis patch, then published in Montgomery, dubbed the Advertiser grandma" upon the grounds that she was then in her dotage and an inharmonious factor in Alabama journalism. From that date until this the only way any paper or person has been able to secure harmony with the old woman has been to obey her every beck and call, light her pipe and let her do all the smoking .esardless as to who is furnishing the tobacco or its cost. And since accepting her name her de- sire has been to ever pose as g. real grandma to all the Alabama papers, and it is only recently that a very large ma jority of the newspapers and a still larger majority of the people of Alabama have learned that there really exists no blood or political relations between them and the old gal, that in fact she is not even a step grandma. but hypocritical old maid with misspent life, whose greatest pleasure consists in creating a fuss in the family.
