For Persons who Gain Social or polit,-

 Washington special New York Mail and Express: It has always been a notable fact in Washington that when ever man or woman gained especial prominence in politics, war or society, there appeared on the streets of the capital his or her double. All the presidents have had their doubles. and Cleveland used to be greatly annoyed when told that Lawrence Gardner who was connected with the Demo. cratic national committee from the district of Columbia, was his exact image. Ex-Congressman Fowler of NeF Jerbey took the greatest delight fa h3ing mistaken for President Me <iney, and it is said he affected the
 sldent's style and dress to heighten t' : resemblance. One of the female clerks i1 the treasury department dur ing the Cleveland administration se- cured many invitations to social en- tertainments simply because she look ed like Mrs. Cleveland. and certain hostesses wanted her presence at their functions to make the unwary believe that Mrs. Cleveland was one of the guests. There have been many fac similes in human form of the various army and navy heroes of the late war constantly seen about Washington. and their doings have often caused stories to be circulated about the original. which, at times. were embarrassing to the latter. But so far as known, the gripman who looks like Dewey had not traded on his resemblance. but 9eens content with attending 1a his work as Dewey does.

 Ringing Grapes.
 From Farmers Review:=This proc ass is the removal of a small section of the bark surrounding the cane for the purpose of obstructing the down ward flow of sap, which is thereby caused to accumulate in excessive quantities in the portions of the cane above the ring, and to supply these portions richly with food materials. Experiments were tried last summer to test the results of ringing on sey- eral varieties. The rings of bark were removed in the period between June 27 and July ,, when the grapes were from one-third to one-half grown. The width of the ring removed in most eases was one-half inch, but on some canes only one-fourth inch. The fol- lowing notes taken at the time of rip- ening indicate the results on each variety:
 Concord showed the first on the ringed canes to be slightly larger and day or two in advance of the fruit of the rest of the vine.
 Cambridge showed the fruit on the ringed canes to be larger, of better quality and two or three days earlier than that on other canes.
 Brighton showed no difference in quality or size, but three days differ enee in earliness.
 Columbian Imperial showed very great difference in size, the berries averaged one-ffth larger on the ringed than on the unringed canes, while tba ringed canes ripened fruit two weeks earlier than other canes of the same vines
 Agawain showed only a slight differ ence in size and earliness.
 Herbert showed no difference except that the fruit on the ringed canes was poorer in quality than the rest.
 Moore's Early showed no perceptibIe difference in size, quality or earliness.
 Niagara showed the fruit on the ringed canes to be two days earlier and slightly superior in quality to that oD the unringed canes.
 The Delaware showed better and earlier fruit on the ringed than on the unringed canes, but showed the best fruit where only a small section of the bark had been removed.
 The best results were obtained on canes where the bark oyergrew the sections from which it had been re- moved. Where the bark oyergfows the section about the time the first begins to ripen the surplus food ma terial in the cane is drawn away into the lower parts of the vine and the fruit ripens with only a normal guam tity of food material present. If the section is not oyergrown, the excess of food remains, the fruit is forced to ripen with this excess on hand, and hence ripens improperly. The width of the section of bark to be removed should vary according to the yigor of the cane and the variety. On strong canes of vigorous varieties three fourths of an inch is not too much while on feeble varieties one-foarth of

Top1c-How shall we divide our timer
Eccl. iii, lbs
The proper use of cur time is one of
the most important duties of life. 1t is
a gift Of God which once gone never
returns. Our success in life depends
upon our ability to properly divide and
properly use the time which God allots
to Us. In these days when The demands
upon the time of those who are active
and industrious are so multitudinous,
the question of the proper dividing of
time becomes all the more important.
Alfred the Great of England divided
his day into three periods of eight hours
each-one period for work. a second fer
recreation and the third fer sleep Thus
he accomplished much in life.
The wise man in the topical reference
teaches Us that God has set a time for
all things. The changes that are going
on in life are constant. md yet nothing
IS done haphazardly CT without system.
There IS time fzr every work OF God.
and each comes in its season If God
finds it necessary in order To carry out
His purposes in life II have a time and
a season for everything, how much
more certain it Is that II We are 10 ac-
coInplish the purpose fer which God
made us we must have time for the
duties Of life and perform them at their
time.
Just how each one is to divide his
time Is question that he only can de-
eide Bat there are certain principles
which should have due influence upon
all in the use Of time /. We should
use our time in conformity To the will
of God Time is a precious gift Of God
that should be consecrated to Him.
Just as We consecrate our money or our
talents to Him. ,. In the division and
use of our time ample provision should
be made for all religious duties and de-
votions. The spiritual Is often neglected
for the material and sacrificed for that
which Is Of less importance, Many who
allot sufficient time each day for the
feeding OF the body make no provision
for the soul, Vet it is just as necessary
that the soul should be fed as the body
