LEARNING TO BLUSH.

sensoI for Teaching tho Primitive Art
In ParIA
A school where blushing is taught is
the latest novelty in Paris, says the
Philadelphia Times. II there is any
place where blushing has become a
lost art one would certainly think it
was Paris, but the Parisians, on the
other hand, declare that 1t is a result
OF Anglomania and the influence of the
American girl. The young woman
who plays golf or rides bicycle in
nationals" in the freest camaraderie
with her male friends is likely to ac-
qufre self-poise which will make the
flush OF embarrassment stranger to
her cheeks, and the city where women
are bicycling on the boulevard with
their bare knees exposed has felt the
necessity of reaction. The classic
grace and simplicity of the early years
OF the century. with their accompany
ing downcast eyes and simpers, are
now In vogue again. and the maidens
who have forgotten how to blush are
going to school to learn that primitive
art. They say it is easy enough to
droop the eyes and affect bashfulness
but to call up mantling color is as
difncult as pulling eye teeth. How the
crimsoning flow of red blood to the
pallid cheek is accomplished in these
fn-de-siecle schools Of department 1t is
hard to imagine, unless 1t is that they
have taken a page out Of Du Maurier's
joke book and emulate the society girl
who surprised her friend by always
biushing at the right time. How can
you manage it?" asked the other girl,
enviously. "Oh, 1t is very easy" the
expert blusher replied. II simply
think of something that makes me
blush"

Making q Football.

A football requires a vast amount Of
work before it lie ready for kicking over
the gridiron. ..'
The balls are covered with cowhide
which must have remained in the tan
pits a year or more. The hides are frou
2 to 8 feet long, 6 to 7 feet wide anu
before splitting weigh from 80 to 80
pounds. The s4;in has to be split into
two layers. The part to be used -
soaked for a few days in a cleansing
preparation. 1t is ''sleeked'' out to
make it firm. It is fed and cut into
shape. The strips are stitched. always
by hand. The bladder is or should be of
the finest Para rubber, and u%ndergoes
perhaps more processes than the COW
hide. 1t is as necessary to the football as
pneumatic tires are to the cycle; in fact,
even mere so, since no effective substi-
tute for an air bladder has yet been dis
covered. The bladder is of immense
strength, and is fitted with a nozzle
through which the air is injected.
These bladders are an expensive item
and represent a considerable portion of
the cost of manufacture. The bladder
is inserted through the unlaced slit,
and the next process is to blow it up.
The rubber nozzle fits over a metal
tube on the machine. A few turns of
the hand wheel and the ball is inflated.
It is now laced up and handed overrto
the shaper, who pats down any. un-
evenness in the seams.

The Truthful Marksman.

An extraordinary shooting adventure
is recorded by A. L. Butler Of the State
museum, Selangor, Malaga. One day
in last July a Malay woodcutter went
out into the jungle to cut fuel, taking
with him ar old single barreled, muz-
zle loading gun loaded with the rather
unscientific charge Of a bullet and four
buckshot. Moving quietly through the
jungle. he suddenly came upon a tiger
feeding on the carcass of a sambhur,
and with touching confidence in his
weapon fired at a distance of 20 PAGES.
The tiger rolled over. and when the
Malay cautiously approached he found
not one dead tiger, but two, the second
having been hidden from the sports
man, though only a few feet distant
from the animal he fred at.
Mr.. Butler, who made a post mortem
examination of the tigers after they
had been skinned, found that in each
case a single buckshot had gone to the
heart. One had also an insignificant
wound on the head from another pellet.
"For a really appalling 1uke,' as Nj.
Butler says, this achievement of the
Malay w~oodcutter will be hard to beat.
1t certainly is not a performance any
sane white man will try to parallel,
much less to eclipse.

Owing to the rapid increase in Cali
fornia and Florida orange growing and
the excellent quality of the product, the
imports Of Messina and Valencia oranges
have greatly decreased, according to
The Orange Judd Farmer, and we are
beginning to export oranges in earnest,
sending them abroad to the value of
1858, 900 in II months.
It is reported that the German gov
eminent will hereafter admit American
oranges, lemons and raisins into Ger
many without examination.
Those who grow tomatoes in consid-
cradle areas and are troubled by the
corn worm or bollworm eating into and
destroying the green and ripening fruit
are advised by the Ohio station not to
plant tomatoes in close proximity to
corn, and. when possible, to plant on
ground that has been fall or winter
plowed. b..
If your ground needs anu and
you do not have the cash to pay for it,
make up the deficit by frequent cultiva-
ton; cultivate seven times instead Of
two or three. as formerly. This is The
Farm Journals advice.

Old Love and New Repartee.

People are smiling at the little pas
sage at arms which took place between
two young women at a luncheon the
other day. One of the women is a beau
tiful blond, a bride, and she comes from
the south. She met the other woman
first at the aforesaid luncheon and, shak-
ing hands in her characteristic, cordial
way, said:
"I'm SO glad to meet you! You have
afforded me so much amusement.
Amusement? said the other.

A Natural Mistake.

81 went to Paris" says an English
man, "staying at the Hotel de Lille ct
d'Albion. Never having been before, I
lost my way and could not find my ho-
tel again, because I neither spoke nor
understood French. Thinking some of
the people I met might understand
written English, I went into a station
er's shop and bought a large card, on
which I wrote, Please tell me the way
to the Hotel de Lille ct d'Albion.
"Again I sailed out, showing my
card to several, but still to no purpose.
At last a man read it and silently beck
oned me to follow him, which I did as
silently for a mile or more. Then he
pointed, still silently, to the sign of the
hotel, and when I saw it I broke the
silence by exclaiming, Thank you
"'What,' he replied in amazement,
ARE you an Englishman ? So am I, but
I took you to be deaf and dumb"

pork. beans. corn and other things
which go to make up the main portion
of human food, writes Professor D. R.
McAnally of 1.-The American Girls
Chances Of Marriage" in The Ladies'
Home Journal. LAS the prices of these
commodities go up the number of mar
riages goes down. From 1851 to 1854
times were good. food was cheap. and
the marriage rate in Massachusetts
went up to 26 per 1000. Between 1855
and 1859 there was great depression of
trade, and in 1858 the marriage rate
went down to II per 1000. The years
from 1878 to 1879 form another period
Of depression. Factories were closed and
manufacturers of every kind suffered
severely. In one year, at least. crops
were short and the prices Of food were
high. The result was Immediately seen
in matrimony, for in 1874 the number
of marriages went down from 21 per
1000 of the population to Is. and in
1876 and the following two years de-
clined to Is per l.0OO-a tremendous
falling off from 26 per 1000. the figure
attained in 1854. which was the banner
year in the state of Massachusetts for
matrimony:
almost as unfavorable as that of
hard times is the influence of wal upon
matrimony. Whenever Mars is in the
ascendant Cupid's stock goes down.
During the civil'war the number of
marriages in this country fell off from
30 per 1000 of population to II per
1000. and Immediately after the civil
war was ended, in 1865. the number
rose to % per 1000. declining in 1859

BIRD FLIGHT.

They flock upon the hazy air,
Silent Of note and purposeful Of wing,
Nor gossip Of the nesting time
Dist urbs their rhythmic. air born swing.
Across The dying fields light shadows fall
That, for a moments space, obscure the sun;
Then swift-a graceful t~roop-they wing their
way,
Pursued in haste by some belated one.
Now all the stubble land turns twilight gray
Album with mystic runes and harvest rills.
Above the watching world a tiny speck
Grows pale and fades against the southern
hills.

How to GH1nd Moving

Every farmer that l ever saw grind
ing moving machine knives held them
out at arms length and ground them
on the top of the stone. similar to the
way that a scythe is ground, says Il
Rural New Yorker correspondent. This
is not only a slow, laborious way, but
as good an edge cannot be got as where
a proper rest for the knife section is
used. / use a fiat board rest for grind
ing mine, which is made by simply
mailing a beard about seven OF eight
inches wide on top Of the frame that
the stone is hung upon. The stone
should be trued up SO as to run true.
and the edge Of the rest should come
close to the surface of the stone, SO as
not to permit the knife section to be
drawn down between the stone and rest.
My stone is hung upon the common
friction wheel bearings which raise the
center Of the stone just high enough
from the frame so that an inch board
rest on top Of the frame makes it just
about right for grinding the moving
machine knife when the back of the
knife section rests on the rest. The fig
ure gives an idea of how the thing is
managed.
One side Of the knives has to be
ground on one side of the stone and
then the other side On the other side of
the stone on account Of the crank being
in the way CT the end of the section.

With the Fading Of Beauty.

A 16-year-old girl imagines that she
is an angel. and never gets over it.
After ii I'M gets old she thinks of
how she was admired and compliment
ed in her youth and feels that some
great wrong was done her because she
did not remain as pretty as she was at
16. If she is married. she is apt to lay
the blame on the brutality of her hus-
band: if she is an old maid. she lays it
on her father. who was poor. and thus
forced her to work, which resulted in
a STOPPING figure and harsh features.
A man never has this experience. He
is at his worst at 16 and DIES not reach
his best until he is 26 to 80. By that
time he has acquired a little sense. and
never mistakes a compliment for the
truth. -Atchison Globe.

GRINDING MOVING MACHINE KNIFE.
knife, and the knife should be held with
the point pitching a little toward the
stone and at such an angle to the face
of the stone as will bring it to a proper
cutting level. This position can readily
be ascertained by the operator in or
two trials. The knives are held in posi-
ton with one hand and with the other
are pressed against the stone.
After becoming accustomed to this
way of grinding bevel edged tools M
will wonder how he yer got along with
the old way. Chisels and similar tools
can be ground in this way. Whenever
grinding tools that do not reach across
the face of the stone, they should be
given a sideways motion, so as to pre-
vent wearing the stone unevenly.
In grinding my moving machine
knives l always grind three or four of
the end sections on the side Of the stone
next to the crank end. so as to wear
other. This, with what scythe and other
grinding we have, seems to keep that
side of the stone worn down ever with
the other.
Vine Varieties Crossing.
On the interesting topic of the cross
ing of pumpkins. squash and melons, the
following appears in The New England
Homestead. by the late A. w. Living
ston:
I do not believe the Yankee (or yellow
cow pumpkin, the sweet pumpkin or
the Cushaw squash will mix or cross
with each other. You could plant to-
gether. and each would continue true to
kind. If this were not true they would
have been lost to us long ago, for I have
seen them grow with their vines inter-
tapping for more than so years and yet
they are as distinct now as they were
then.
The sweet pumpkin will cross with
the winter crook neck squash, for their
seeds and stems are alike. The Cushaw
and the Potato pumpkin will mix in
the blossom. for they are one and the
same, only one has a neck and the 9TH
er has none.
The old fashioned Yankee or COW
pumpkin will not cross upon any other
that grows. 1 have gone far and near
watching for this and have never seen
it.
All squashes that grow a tissuelike
film over their seeds, that will rub off
when the seeds are dried, will cross
upon each other readily. Such are the
Hubbards. Marblehead, Boston Marrow,
Essex Hybrid and the like.
I do not believe that melons cross
with pumpkins or squashes. People
often think so. when their melons taste
''fat as a pumpkin as they say. The
cause lies not in such an unnatural
cross, but in the soil or season. Black
elm soil will not produce good sweet
melons. but sugar tree land, though
zeal by the other, will grow the finest
favored melons in the world.
