Uorsets Must Go.

The decree has gone forth from Paris
and the will of the modlstes of that
city Is law the world over-that the
corset must be consigned to the rag
bag. The Parisiennes have discovered
what many other people knew a score
or years ago, that II a dress Is nodded
TO the form and very stifliy boned the
necessity for corset is removed and
the effect is infinitely better. There
seems small cause for rejoicing among
dress reformers and physicians, how
ever over this change in the spirit of
femininity's dreams, for ii will be only
transfer of the compression from one
article to another, not a doing away
OF 1t altogether. There is also a rumor
afioat that the eel skirt is about to
sink into oblivion; another rumor de-
clares that the princess style Is to be
more than ever popular this fall and
that one of the most fashionable wom-
en- has just ordered one OF these gowns
made of silk jersey cloth of a mode
tint and trimmed with ecru Irish lace
Everyone who knows how Jersey cloth
fits, how 1t clings to each curve and
line, will realize that the end of the eel
skirt, becoming or unbecoming is not
yet. In fact, no princess gown but has
tght-htting skirt, and so, while
wider ones may be introduced, the
chances are that the other will have a
following among the willowy girls. for
whom 1t has unlimited fascination.

shake out well, placing the bristles
down to dry.
The untidy spots left on window
panes by paint or putty may be re-
moved by wetting the glass several
times with a strong solution of soda,
and when the spots become soft, rub
them off and polish the glass. To
clean windows select rather dull day,
or do the work when the sun is not
shining on you, else the result will
surely be streaked windows. Dust
them inside and out with a painters
brush and clean the inside woodwork
before touching the glass. then wash
the panes with warm water containing
ammonia, but no soap. Get the dust
out of the corners with small pointed
stick wrapped with cloth, and wipe
dry with soft cloth, polishing with
tissue paper OF old newspapers.

Pretty for the Red.

The old Marseilles quilt, which has
held undisputed sway. has now a rival
in the new Saline embroidered spreads
These show Saline finished face, with
heavily raised border and sprays in
horal effects closely resembling hand
embroidery, in heavy raised satin
stitch. You may pay for them any
thing from $3.50 all the way up to $25,
but after you have reached the $40
mark, they are exquisltely embroidered
by hand. This class Of goods is i'm

without Talents.

Many a modest, unselfish girl, who
does not regard herself as remarkable
either in mind, appearance or manner,
asks, Where is there a place for girl
today who Is not beautiful or talented,
who cannot play or paint or sing, can
not permit herself to write an essay

win, In the Womans Home Compan-
ion, or THE Girl Without Great Gifts. :"
For such one the history of an
everyday girl who met fulflllment and
wrought from common material won
derful life-fabric may be offered. She
was the plainest of a family, and as
she grew to maldenhood gave no sign
OF possessing anything that would not
seem possible to the most ordinary per
son. Her sisters had each a gift But
nobody expected anything great from
Miss Margaret and she never dared
to hope that she could fill any place OF
Importance, even in the smallest circle
As is often the case with the incon-
spicuous girl of the family, she became
general -clper, and was called to
assist and to fill gaps in the home
service. She learned through all this
to get away from herself, and, in eff
feet, said: L cannot do this. but my
sister can. AS soon as she could ac-
cept this she was no longer lonely
girl, but imagined that she had a sort
OF partnership in the achievements of
those whom she helped Let it not be
Imagined that she had never expe-
ienced a regret that she had herself
been overlooked in the distribution of
gifts; there were bitter moments when
she suffered on account of the fact, bur
this was before she had given herself
wholly to the purpose of forgetting her
loss and helping others. AS soon as
this became fact she began to receive

horticultural Observations.

Tree planting investigation by the
Division of Forestry are taking prac-
tical turn. To determine the best
species of trees for various sections for
use as wind-breaks, hedge rows, nurse
trees and shade trees the Department
has planted in the different western
states about thirty plots of forest trees.
The black cherry and Russian mulberry
are found particularly thrifty grow
ers and soft maple, elm and catalpa
also grow well and rapidly.
In one of the provinces Of Asia
there are a number of floating islands
which are wonderful sources OF pro-
duction. They float about in placid
lakes of fresh water. their surfaces
standing only a few feet above the
water, so that while the top soil is
not soggy, perpetual moisture is found
at little depth and sub-irrigation is
present in it's most perfect form. On
these islands melons grow to the high
est perfection and the melons of Bou-
castan are of great local fame. lrri-
cation brings the watermelons to the
greatest excellence, as a large supply
of moisture is requisite under expo
sure to an intense heat and light-the
elements which decompose and alter
the fluids of plants and construct from
them sweet and deliciously favored
juices.
Many of the WORKOUT farms In hui
mid regions, says Mr.. Clifford Pinchot,
the government forester, may be
brought back to their original fertil-
1ty by growing forest trees upon them
tor series of years, and very many
OF them contain land better suited to
the production of wood than to any
other purpose. Such land should new
er have been cleared. 1t is fortunately
true that throughout the regions once
wooded WORKOUT farm lands will
usually revert to their previous condi-
tion if protected from fire and stock.
This result may be very materially
hastened and usually more desirable
species grown if some attention be Civ
en- to forest planting. To the majority
OF people there is nothing else so at
tractive about home as trees. A we'll
planted wood lot, in two or three years
after its establishment, will provide
the farmer with supply of trees to
plant along roads and for ornamental
purposes about buildings and gardens.
AS the trees in a plantation begin to
crowd each other many may be re-
moved with material advantage to
those that remain, care being taken
not TO interfere with the shading of
the ground. The surperfuous trees
often pay the cost of cultivation and
care for the plantation after it is once
established

To Encourage Forestry.

Few persons comprehend in full
measure the direct and indirect value
OF forests to farmers. In the humid
portions of America, where nearly
every farm has its wood lot. the total
area OF woodland is more than two
hundred million acres. The Division
OF Forestry of the Agricultural De-
partment is prepared to render practi-
cal and personal assistance to farmers
and others by cooperating with them
to establish forest plantations. wood
lots, shelter-belts, and windbreaks An
pllcations for such assistance will be
considered in the order of their re-
ceipt, but the division reserves the
right to give preference to those likely
to furnish the most useful object lac
sons. After an application has been
made and accepted, the superintendent
OF tree planting or one of his assist
ants Will visit the land of the annli-
cant, and, after adequate study of the
ground, will make working plan sniff
ed to it's particular conditions. Tho
purpose of this plan is to give holm in
the selection of trees, information in
regard to planting, and instruction in
handling forest trees after they are
planted. In other words, the division
proposes to give such aid to tree nlant-
ers that wood-lots, shelter-belts wind
breaks and all other economic planta-
lions Of forest trees may be SO well es-
abolished and cared for as to attain
ne greatest usefulness and most nor
nanent value to their owners. These
services are rendered farmers free If
any cost. Vi

Farmers Bulletin sc, Department OF
Agriculture, says: This is an annual
plant two to four feet high. 1t is
slender and little branching and has
its upper leaves broadly margined with
white. It's general aspect is pleasing
to the eye. and for this reason 1t is
often gathered for decorative purposes.
1t is native to the great plains from
Montana to Mexico, and is spreading
eastward rapidly to Louisiana and
Minnesota. 1t has even passed
through Missouri to Illinois, Indiana
and Wisconsin. 1t is cultivated a good
deal for ornament, especially in the
North Atlantic states, where 1t has
frequently escaped from cultivation. 1t
has recently been introduced as a weed
into Germany.
The poison of this plant reaches the
stomach, so far as known. only
through the eating of honey derived
from its flowers. Large quantities OF
fall honey are annually made unsal-
able in localities where the plant
grows in great abundance The honey
is hot and disagreeable to the taste.
but the poison does not appear to be
very violent, its effects being confined
mostly to vomiting and purging. The
milky juice when it gets on the skin
very often causes an itching inflamma-
ton, accompanied by pimples and
blisters which last for several days.
This blistering action is so decided
