WHEN FEET ARE CROSSED.
Some Observations About a Fad That
Seems to Be Popular.

Some Observations About Fad That
Seems to Be Popular.
There was a time when woman who
had the temerity to cross her feet in
public was considered as quite too bold
to be within the pale of good society.
Fashions kinks have taken another
twist now, and the woman who is In
good society shows it by crossing her
feet audibly. That is, she not only
crosses them il the privacy of her own
room. and when she seats herself IN
her favorite wide, low chair in the re-
ception-room, but she crosses them in
the street cars and the herdics, in the
railway stations, and in church! She
does. indeed!
Possibly there is nothing actually
criminal in the habit, though our grand
mothers thought SO, nor is it indecent,
as our mothers thought, and would like
to think yet if they were not bewildered
by the awful overturning given to their
previously conceived ideas of what is
right and proper, but it is certainly
inelegant outside of ones own home.
In ones own boudoir, where the frou-
frou of lace ruffies and silk plaitings.
the amplitude of skirts and abundant
draperies cover all crude outlines, the
crossing of the feet is not exactly I'M
graceful. Then, too, it gives oppor-
tunity for the display of a wellshod
foot, daintily turned ankle, half dis.
played and half concealed by tie
clouds of trimmings that women pile
on the bottom of their skirts, and quite
l,ar ,f ho fan
gowns and the hour.
But away from ones home! Well.
that is another story, especially if it is
told on a street car-in pantomime.-

Plants for Alkaline Lands.

To the west of us we have what used
to be known as the Great American
DESERT" but now more Familiarity COM
pretended as our "semi-arid regions"
1t has been supposed that this land was
of no great value, having no plant food
and filed with the destroying alkali.
Recently, however, the government has
been making an analysis of these soils
and finds them rich with the chemicals
necessary for the growth ct plants.
The next work will doubtless be to find
valuable plants that will be able to
stand the alkai and the drought. That
such a thing is possible is proven by
the vigorous growth on those lands of
sage and cactus

srerilized MILK Is Nutrttious.

1t must be understood, says the Hos
pital, that the substance which goes by
the name of sterilized milk is some
thing different from ordinary milk.
The albumen is converted into peptone,
and the relation of the fat to the other
constituents is in the same way
changed, SO that very little fat separates
from the emulsion. From the investiga-
tions. however. made by DIR. Blasius,

A Woman Forced to Wed Before She Wac
Allowed to Leave the State.
4 wedding of the most remarka BILE
nature occurred on board the steamship
Australia in the course of her recent IT.: c
10 Australia. The bride was Miss Nina
Hing, a native of the Hawaiian islands.
and the groom was Tom Cottrell, 4
colored carpenter of Honolulu. The
former has been in this country for
some months, travelling about making
her living as dancer in music halls or
the Pacific coast, while the man was
in this country on pleasure bent. He
worked as ships carpenter on board the
Austria in return for his passage. The
pair had not met each other when the
ship arrived at Honolulu.
When the young woman attempted TO
land the surveyor of the port recognized
Ter and vigorously objected. 1t seems
she had in years gone by served three
months in the Hawaiian prison for en-
gaging in row with some friends at 4
picnic, and under the laws of the islands
she was regarded as an objectionable
character" Once having left the islands
she was not to be allowed to return.
Vina's friends began to work in her be-
half, and it was discovered that the law
could not separate man and wife, so it
was agreed, if possible, to have her mar
ried at once. A volunteer in the person
IF Tom Cottrell, the colored carpenter,
was found. The groom was obliged to
work all day, and when he quit was
not given a chance to prepare for the
wedding. He was hustled down to the
wharf in his shirt sleeves.
The galley was the scene of the cere-
mony, and q native minister made VIVA
King Mrs. Tom Cottrell. The crew
looked upon the ceremony as huge
sport, and when it was over gave three
cheers that aroused the city. They
simply showered the couple with rice.
The wife dressed in the height of fash
ion, led the way down the plank, fol-
lowed by her ill-attired husband. at
the bottom of the plank Mrs. Cottrell
turned to say something, but as she
opened her mouth lad on the deck, by
a well-directed throw, filled it with
rice. She had closed the mouths of the
officers who protested against her land
ing, however, and was happy.-Detroit

There are more than the usual num-
Der of new varieties of potatoes offered
this season, and it is safe to claim that
tie majority of them will drop out OF
sight next year to give place to another
batch of new varieties, all of which are
'the best ever produced" 1t is well for
farmers to test new varieties, but this
may be done to advantage with one or
two potatoes. For your general crop

adapted to your soil and climate until
you are sure that some new variety p
