Wedding Cake Six Feet Tan.


 The wedding cake in this country does not play such an important part as it does abroad. In England at large wedding, the cake is of colossal proportions and its adornment is a work of art. At the recent wedding of the daughter of the Earl of Rose bery, Lady Margaret Primrose, to the Earl of Crewe, the wedding cake was six feet high and decorated with prim- roses, wild heather and the Rosebery and the Crewe coat of arms. In New York the cake is arranged with an idea of convenience and is put up in indi- vidual boxes and when there is a regu- lar wedding cake in addition it Is of normal size and with conventional flower decorations In the bride $ cake, which is always plain, is the thimble, ring and sixpence to foreteu the fate of the lucky or unlucky reci- pient Sometimes there Is a combina- tion wedding and brides cake, and fruit cake in the center and the plain outside. The cake is marked off into portions with p.T# or green frosting for the men an e for the women. New York I

MISTAKEN TIPPING.
Americans Abroad Frequently Pay Too
 Much for Services.

An American recently arrived in London from southern city, and be- ing in haste to continue his Journey to Paris, hired cabman to take him on one of his errands Handing the man a two shilling piece, he directed him to a certain number in New Bond street. After seating himself in the cab, the passenger waited for several minutes, expecting the horse to start. At last he left the cab and found the driver on the box inspectin. the coin, which was double the usl.al fare. What is the .matter?' asked the in- dignant traveller. This seems to be a very small coin for so long a distance" 7" was the surly response. The Ameri- can smiled grimly and remarked that the cabman could drive him at once to Scotland Yard As this is the head quarters of the police, the driver per- ceiYed that the American was not a man to be swindled. I'll drive you to New Bond street, he remarked promptly, If you will get in, sir" ]" Wait a moment" said the American. T want you to look me over carefully Now tell me-" he continued, what it was in my appearance that led you to think me an idiot. Was it my hat or my collar, or the cut of my overcoat? have already paid you double fare for the distance I have asked you to go, but I'll give you as much more if you will tell me what there is in my gen. eral makeup that encouraged you to believe that I could be fool enough to allow you to cheat me" The cabman by this time looked sheepish and un- comfortable. T took you for an Am eriean, sir" he said, and thought could work another shilling out of you. Here is one of the shillings you gave me and I am ready to drive you to New Bond street, The American had made two mistakes. He ought not to have paid double fare, and he ought not to have paid in advance. By violating the ordinary rules observed by people who hire London cabs, he encouraged the cabman to swindle him. The most judicious course for a traveller in a foreign country is to learn the customs of the people in it, and not throw away money by oYerpaying eabmen and tip ping servants too enerously.-Youth's Companion.

RInelne Grapes.

1
 From Farmers Review:-This proc ass is the removal of small section of the bark. surrounding the cane for the purpose of obstructing the down. ward flow of sap, which is thereby l 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 seV- 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 fel- 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 a 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 ence in earliGess.
 Columbian Imperial showed very great difference in size, the berries averaged one-ffth larger on the ringed than on the unringed canes, while the ringed canes ripened fruit two weeks earlier than other canes of the same vines. H4.
 Agawain showed only slight differ ence in size and earIiness.
 Herbert showed no difference except that the fruit on the ringed canes was poorer in quality than the rest.
 Moore's Early showed no pereeptible 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 op the unringed canes.
 The Delaware showed better and earlier fruit on the rlnged than on the unringed canes, but showed the best fruit where only small section of the bark had been removed.
 The best results were obtained on canes where the bark overgrew the sections from which it had been re- moved Where the bark oYergrows 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 quan- 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. vigor 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 1one-fonrth of an inch may be sufficient.
