If time alone has brought the change.

Now, it's moved, and painted white.
And faces the other way.
And do you believe it, John,

But when l peeked in the window

whom he had forbidden his wife to receive. 1t
required lawyers to patch up this difficulty. He
made settlement on her and made it con-
diton that he should revise her visiting list and,
believing that his happiness would be better
conserved, thereby took up his residence at

pact were not observed by the lady Mr.. Sloane
brought suit for divorce on the only grounds per-

Cuba Puerto Rico, and the Philippine Islands

already peopled and covered with towns, cities,

are conquered provinces and not colonies, and as
such they must be administered by proconsular
governments and we thus brought face to
face with the anomaly of two different systems of
government existing under the flag of the United
States--the one proconsular and the other fede

There never was a time when dia-

fashionable. These come In all prices
to suit every purse-from immense
sterling silver buckles and gold buck
els, with clasp In the design Of in
lttials set with numerous tiny dia-
monds, to the imitation cut steel and
silver buckets, which are also very
beautiful and made in imitation OF the
more costly originals. Many a charm
ing young miss will receive as Christ

popular. The favorite design is SINH

pointed leaves and holly berries work.
ing up very handsomely in the design.
A buckle that looks elegant, with a
black velvet girdle, is shaped after the
manner of a horseshoe, with a double
row Of stones and small br1lliants set
round. A row of oval turQuoises-
the imitation turquoises are very hand
some in the buckles-set round with
pearls are exquisite and dainty. Anne
thysts look very handsome in the gild-
ed buckles. Diamonds and emeralds
combine handsomely, also opals and
diamonds. Following the fad for
Christmas music some of the buckles
for Christmas presents are in the shape
OF Tyres and other musical Instruments
The strings OF the instruments are
wrought in dainty fligree work, and
the precious stones are used in abun-

Any woman, say the wisacres, looks
lac batter for wearing white or cream
fulle next her face, and acting on this
suggestion every woman who studies
her appearance wears a tulle stock and
a big tulle bow under her chin. Some
of them button up their black, brown or
dark-green walking coats to not only
tulle collar, but small tulle dickey
that spreads down below the bow. They
get this by means Of the same crisp
charm of linen, with none Of its harsh
ness, for in cold weather linen Is
cruel trial to the tender flesh Of femi-
nine threats. Tulle bows and stocks
are not after all 30 fragile as they
sound, and not a woman that wears
them but adds something to her looks
by their aid. The newest ribbon collar
is without a bow, but has a jeweled
clasp instead. 1t winds twice around
the neck and fastens in front. the two
parts Of the clasp being sewed to the
eEds Of the ribbons. The clasps are
either of real jewels and precious
stones or clever and almost as service

Quite recently the queen Of the Bel
gians has called upon her sister queens
and expresses of Europe by letter, ask
ing them to form an alliance for the
purpose Of helping the lacemakers OF
Europe. She asked them to refuse to
wear any article upon which imitation
lace is used, and to bind themselves Co
wear only handmade lace, pointing
out that the machine-made fabric
threatens to destroy the industry in
artistic hand-worked lace. The use OF
machinery for lace-making has dimin-
fshed the number Of lacemakers in Bel
GUM and France by 10000 persons.

II thought no reason why his milk

out Of the millions to get into the room

settle into a pail. The mixer takes

Destroying Kound-Hsaded sorer..

FIJI. Chittenden, Assistant EDtomol-
oeist Of the Department of Agricul-
ture, gives the following advice on the
destruction Of the round-headed apple
tree borer:
Destroying the adult insects-The
mature beetles are shy. and SO seldom
seen on this account, that It Is doubt
ful II any method of destroying them Is
feasible. They are attracted to lights
1t night to some extent. and some meet
their end in this way. Very early in
the morning, Immediately after day
break, the beetles may be found upon
the trees, II sought for in their season,
and may then be beaten on into an in
verted umbrella by striking the
branches with a stout stick.
Kerosene as a remedy.-A great va
riety of substances have been recon-
mended to kill the borers in the trees,
but up to the present time only few
have given satisfaction. For the bene-
nt OF those who have not had expert
snce with this borer 1t may be neces-
sary to state that 1t is of no avail what
svsr to inject kerosene or any other In
BectIcide into the round holes made BY
the beetles in their escape from the
trees A correspondent OF this divi-
sion, Mr.. T. B. Ashton, who has had
many years experience with this Dor
or, states that there is no better way OF
e6ectually putting a stop to the depre-
dations of this and similar borers than
in the use Of kerosene applied freely
wherever the castings of the larvae are
to be seen protruding through the bark
Tho kerosene is absorbed by the cast
ings and. carried by capillary attrac-
ton, permeates the entire burrow
where 1t comes In contact with the
larva, which soon succumbs. The
amount of kerosene which it Is neces-
sary to use is 80 small that it does not
sndanger the health Of the tree
Clean cultural methods. = Finally.
clean culture, the best preventive for
