Tomato Test.

The proof of the pudding is in eating it,
in this case in seeing it.
From my stock of,tomato plants which
| raised for sale this season, l set out
eight plants Of each variety viz, Imperial
Beauty, ""Dwarf Champion, and Grim
son Cushion"
Beauty and Dwarf Champion gave ripe
fruit first; on the Goth inst, picked from
the eight plants of Crimson Cushion six
ripe tomatoes the combined weight being
% Is ounces or an average of over 81
pounds each, and from the Imperial could
only pick one ripe tomato which weighed
Z 1S ounces this is fair test in regard
to earliness, as the plants were same age,
set side by side and given same treatment.
This test agrees with James j. H. Gregory,
who states in his $50 catalogue that the
Imperial" is not remarkably early; the
fruit can be seen at C. E. Caprons store.

TEMPERANCE.

Speaking of the enforcement of the
Sabbath law in New York, Acting In
spector Brooks said: There was never
time until recently when the tender
loin could not be counted on for a big
batch of arrests and police cases OF all
kinds. With the saloons closed crime
decreases, and naturally arrests are
fewer"
In a recent speech before the English
Army Temperance association Lord
Wolseley made this striking statement:
There are yet some battles to be
fought, some great enemies to be en-
eountered by the United Kingdom, but
the most pressing enemy at present is
drink 1t kills more than all our new
est weapons of warfare, and not only
destroys the body, but the mind and
soul also"

FRILLs OF FASHION,

The crewn Of this years sailor hat is
considerably higher and narrowee than
that Of last years.
A very good idea is to have several
sets Of ribbons for one gown, as chang
ing the ribbons will make it look like
different gown each time.
A Marie Antoinette fichu makes a
pretty addition to summer gowns, es-
pecially for women of slender figure,
and is one Of the latest summer styles
The effect of the shirt waist cuffs
should be perfectly fiat. Round cuffs
are considered country. To get this
have link buttons and button the lower
button hole through like seam.
The prettiest Of all summer gowns is
white It's daintiness adapts and is
suitable for all occasions and 1t can be
made to have quite an elaborate air
with very small expense. For these
gowns this season Persian lawns and
organdies are more used than the old
time yictorias to give the required airy
effect.
A new and very effective way to
put rosettes on hats is, after making
the rosette to allow piece Of the rib
oon, silk or whatever the rosette is
made of. about six inches long, to
hasa.g. Twist this end loosely around
piece of bonnet wire and fasten the
end to the hat. This will allow the ro-
sette to bob just above the crown of the
hat and is very much prettier and not
so stiff as the old way.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

Opals remain fashionable and GER
tainly lend themselves well to the lapi
darJ's art.
Tie most conservative persons now
admit that American cut glass is the
finest in the world.
The peculiar green's and blues that
prevail in dress fabrics are shown in
Snamels on gold and silver.
Birthday watches claim attention.
these have dials enameled with the
aower OF the month or set with the
natal stone.
All kinds Of fancy colored stones are
worn. including carbuncles, peridots,
amethysts. topazes, turquoises and,
above all, sapphires.
Flowers and scrolls represented in
brilliants are arranged as pendant,
which is also adapted for wearing in
The hair or as brooch.
A fayorite style Of necklace consists
Of three rows Of pearls, each with a
separate diamond clasp, SO that they
can be worn singly r. required.
Silver plate bearing the trademarks
of trustworthy makers possesses re-
markably enduring qualities and the
artistic character of solid silver.
Damp spoils the tones Of piano and
turns the keys yellow sooner than any
thing else. Keep the piano shut On
damp days, but little sunshine will
help to preserve the color of the keys
To prevent table salt from becoming
lumpy mix with it little corn -four
before putting it in the salt cellar; the
proportion about heaped dessert
spoonful of corn -four to a teacupful
of salt.
Spirits Of wine diluted with a little
water may be used for improving the
appearance of black satin. Apply ii
with sponge and rub it on gently the
right way of the material. The satin
should then be put between two pieces
Of satin and ironed on the wrong side.
