A Hasty Conclusion About a Woman That
Was Changed Later.
: Two little girls occupied seats to-
gether on an elevated train the other
night. Both were scantily dressed, hol-
low eyed and hungry looking. They were
Enthusiastically of that class known as
"cashgirls" employed in the down
town department stores, for each adj
dressed the other by numb in lieu of
name.
Directly opposite them. sat a fashion
ably dressed woman who was accom-
panied by well groomed male escort
Upon their entrance the conversation Of
the little girls stopped abruptly and
there was something pitiful in the ear
nestness with which both watched every
move of the woman so stunningly
gowned. Two pairs of abnormally keen
though tired eyes thoroughly investi-
gated every bit of fnery in her apparel,
from the highest plume of her hat to
the soft, natty shoes which incased her
shapely feet.
"Say, 76," whispered the smaller Of
the two girls, leaning toward her COM
panion. "she's real lady. she is. You
can tell by her make up. Amt that a
beaut of hat. though? And look at
that diamond breastpini Whewi I'll
bet that hat cost all off,
"Shr' interrupted 76 in an under
tone. "She'll hear you" There was a
spell Of silence as both girls leaned back
with their heads resting against the
top of the seat. They were enjoying the
dazzling picture before them.
After glancing over a section of a
newspaper which the man had given
her the woman folded it up and handed
it back to him.
"Did you get the tickets?'' she asked.
Eyes, was the answer in an indiffer-
emit tone.
"Let me see them."
He extracted small envelope from
his vest pocket and handed it to her.
."By the way" he remarked, eve will
have to go tonight. I couldn't get good
seats for tomorrow, and rather than
miss it I took these"
"TonigtR" she repeated in a tone of
vexation. "You know we'll enough that
we can't 60 tonight. We have another
engagement
(Which we can conveniently can
GEL" he interpolated.
"Indeed we will not, she retorted,
with determined stamp of her foot.
A protracted argument followed
which was not too low for the cashgirls
to learn the drift.
"You can go to Mrs. Brown alone"
finally exclaimed the man, "and will
take your mother to the theater! We
can call for you on our way home if
you insist on going"
you'll not 60 to the theater with
anybody. You must and will go to
Mrs Browns with me. Thus assert
ing herself, she deliberately tore the en-
velope containing the tickets in minute
parts and threw them on the floor.
They left the train at the next sta
tion, he with Disguised look on his
face and she with head erect and de-
faint glare in her bright eyes.
Scarcely had the rustic of her gar
ments ceased to be heard when 76 sage
ly observed: "You re all off, 81. She
amt real lady. It's only her fine duds
what makes you think so. She's only
an imitation, and no clerk would take
her to window if she wanted to make
a sale. boston Herald.

An Oriental Incident.

"What, o dog, have you to say for
yourself?" asked the just and humane
shiek.
81 was loaded, o shadow of the
prophet!' faltered the culprit.
"And what am to do with you, o
scum of the desert?''
discharge me, substance of imma-
nent good.'
Thereupon the shiek gave the fellow
100 blows of the bastinado, being rather
more humane than just.
For the statute of limitations had run
against that joke in Egypt centuries be-
fore, and it irritated the shiek to be
running against it now.-Detroit Jour-

It is possible for woman to learn to
be good cook, but by that time she is
generally widow.
No girl who is over 5 feet tall has
any right to try to act kittenish.
A woman decides on the man before
she decides to marry; man decides to
marry before he decides on the girl.
When two girls first meet, they spend
the first hour trying to find out what
each other knows, and the second trying
to find out what each other doesn t

think other people are observing them.
Nothing makes woman mad so
quick as to have her husband laugh
when she says she has always prided

POINTS IN IRRIGATION.
Applying the Water-An Ideal Surface
Slope For Irrigation.

1 Apk&JihS the w aCer-An Ideal SURFACE
Slope For Irrigation.
The farmer having his share of the
water IN his own little ditch carries it
to the highest point on his farm and
leads 1t either along the side, end or
obliquely across in straight or curved
lines. SO as to keep it where it can fill
the smaller bitches. By these the water
is carried, if possible, to every square
yard OF the farm. Often much diking
must be done on the farm, and before
the lateral reaches it, SO as to get the
main distributing ditch where it will
cover the most land. These dikes are
expensive to make and equally so to
keep up and are source of perpetual
annoyance and often of waste. A farm
is to be preferred whose feeding lateral
runs along one side and does not me-
ander hero and there. A farm with
sag anywhere in it, especially in the
middle, is to be avoided
The ideal surface for irrigation is one
raised little at one end or on one side.
It should have fall of from Is to %
feet to the mile, as uniform as possible
and in one direction. For an 80 acre
tract the following conditions, if they
could be realized, would be best: The
upper shorter side should have fall of
about five feet to the mile for the feed
ing head lateral, and the long direction
fall OF Is feet to the mile, with the
lower short end having the same fall as
the upper. 1t will be seen that the up
per ditch, which is quarter of mile
long, will have but fall Of ~ feet,
and dam put into it at intervals Of
ten rods will make difference of level
of such section of only two inches. If
$50 rows of potatoes head into such
ditch and there is sufficient volume of
water in it to furnish little stream for
every row, it can easily be diverted into
all at time, since the diminished head
will make up for the fall Of level of the
lower end of the bottom of the ditch,
while if the fall in this feeder were
great only few of the rows close to the
dam could be fed, and those unequally,
without constant care and changing.
This is the ideal surface slope for po-
tato field
Such a surface is also desirable for
grain or alfalfa, and to irrigate these
crops by flooding, as is customary, the
farmer has only to run through the
grainfield or meadow a large double
moldboard pillow, drawn by from four to
six heavy horses and penetrating to a
depth of IL inches, throwing bank to
each side and leaving clean ditch be-
hind it. These bitches are usually put
100 feet apart and plowed in before har-
vesting, but in an alfalfa field they are
left permanently. At suitable intervals
a canvas dam is put into the ditch, the
pole to which the edge of the canvas is
nailed supported on both banks. The
cloth lies in the bottom and on the edges
of the ditch and is kept down by little
dirt put ON the edge. The bank is cut on
one or both sides as desired, just above
the dam.
The foregoing points relate to irriga-
tion as practiced near Greeley, Colo,
and were originally presented by writ
er in The Irrigation Review.

Crimson Glover.


The time to sow this seed is from the
last of July to December. The later
sowing can give satisfactory results only
when followed by very mild winter or
late wet spring. The North Carolina
station has scored its best successes with
July and August seeding. It advises
preparation of the soil and light cover
ing, though some growers near by only
sow it broadcast in stubble land and
give it no further attention until it is
ready to be grazed. Local climate and
kind of soil determine this point.
Mown for hay or cut for seed, crimson
clover without nurse crop will prob
ably be fit to Craze as early or earlier
than any other clover. It will be in
stage to be made into hay by April or
early in May, as the seed will be ripe
during the last half of May. If cut ear
~ for hay, light seed crop can be tax
en- in June from good land. When made
into hay, cut it early for several good
reasons.

Cheapest Form Of Potash.

Rural New Yorker recommends the
muriate as the cheapest form in which
to buy potash: 'sKainit contains about
1256 per cent Of this substance, while
muriate contains so per cent. Kainit
will furnish potash enough Il you use
enough of it. but on peaches we would
prefer to use muriate, as we would save
the increase of freight and handling Of
q large amount Of useless material. Sui
phate of potash costs more than muriate
and contains about sthe same amount of
actual potash. For crops like potatoes,
beets and others where extra quality is
desired, the sulphate is better. For or
binary crops the muridte is better. :

Fighting the Peach Borer.

In lecture before the Massachusetts,
Horticultural society Professor Singer
land is reputed as saying: "Six sub
stances tried proved partially effective.
OF these two might be termed mechan-
ical-the old "mounding SYSTEM and
tarred roofing paper carefully tied
around the base and extending below
the ground This seemed to protect
against two-thirds of the borers. White
paint kept out from one-t third to one
half of the insects. White paint and
paris green killed many of the young
trees. Coal tar was very effectua!, only
a few borers succeeding in getting start
ed in trees brushed with it, and it did
no injury to the trees. The following
proved sure death to the trees: Paris
green mixed with glue, raupenleim
German caterpillar lime) and dendro-
lene.
'Nothing was found which would
keep all the borers out and not injure
the trees. A wash which has to be ap-
piled more than once year will not
pay, for one can dig out borers quicker.
The digging OUT process is certainly
the surest yet devised and can be done
with about as little expenditure of time
and money as it will take to apply
washes or mechanical contrivances thor
oughly enough to keep the borers out.
