Not Superstitious,

Even ancient superstitions are not
respected by the modern OF
fashion. She has herself photographed
in her wedding dress before she Is mar
ried, has her trousseau marked with
her new initials instead of her maiden
name, and otherwise flies in the face
of traditions which. to her grandmoth-
er, were sacred because of their very
antiquity: says the P%ittsbnrg Dispatch.
At the present moment the most IA
vored gem for mounting as a charm
is the opal, the stone banned for years
as an omen Of bad fortune to the wear
er. Now you find opals in the rough,
as we'll as polished, being mounted in
almost every style for wear on neck
chains or on bangles. There is only
one other stone which can rival them
in popularity, and that is the pale
green Jade.

The marquis Of Lorne, who now be-
comes the new duke Of Argyll on the
death of his father. Is one of the few
mobiles in Britain allied to the royal
family. But the marquis, or, rather,
the duke. Is very high-bred. His
mother was a daughter OF the great
duke OF Sutherland. In 1871 the then
marquis Of Lornc was welded with
Princess Louise, the fourth daughter Of
Queen Victoria. The ceremony was

and she had never received an offer OF
marriage nor had a lover. Her two
younger sisters were both happily
married-Gertrude to a young man
who had adored her from childhood.
and Lottie to an elderly wldower who
had fallen In love with her at her
coming-out party. Gertrude had re-
fused three offers before marrying
John Nelson; Lottle. who was born
a coquette, had received homage from
almost every man she knew from the
time she could talk.
Alicia was serious and rather
naughty. Her friends called her In

uality made her unpopular with men,
who were generally her Interiors In
her chosen style of conversation IL not
in depth OF thought. Until now Alicia
had affected to despise the other sex.
Lottie's flirtations and Gertrude's con-
quests had seemed frivolous to her.
But she wished to be a well-rounded
woman. and It suddenly occurred TO
her that she knew nothing OF love. al
though 1t was one OF the chief things
OF life. The fact that she was differ
ent from other girls and their in
ferior In one respect was brought
home to her by a meditation on love
and matrimony which followed the
receipt OF a letter announcing the en-
gagement OF the only unmarried one
OF her classmates. To be sure. Alicia
was younger than the other girls. but
she had come out the same year..

The apple exhibit at Paris Is likely
to attract a good deal of attention from
Europeans. 1t will not consist OF the
bookkeeping varieties to any extent,
but of those apples that are known as
commercial apples, and that will stand
long carriage. Our apple trade with
the Europeans is growing, and the ex-
hibit at the exposition will doubtless
have the effect Of charging the mar
ket. The only trouble that we see
ahead is the difficulty of supplying the
demand. Good commercial apples are
very high in our markets the year
round, and of curse will be much
higher In a foreign market, where the
cost Of transport, handling and addi-
tional profits must be added. With
out doubt, there Is no more encourag-
Ing field for investment than in the line
Of apple growing. There are certain
sections Of the country that are par
tlcularly adapted to the growing OF
apples-sections where land Is cheap
and unsuited to the production Of any
thing but fruit.

SubAoilIng for Grain.

1t will not. as a general thing, pay
to subsoil for grain crops. With the
low price of the cereals the increase
must be very considerable to pay cost
Of the extra work. The work of sub
soiling is very great. the subsoiler hav-
ing to be hauled by from four to six
horses according to construction of the
subsoil. There are however some To-
calities where subsoiling for grains
will pay. This will depend on u good
many circumstances that cannot be
pointed .oHt specifically: For in
stance there are subsoils that are not
hard to stir up. There are farms
where the Arrangements are such that
the men and horses have idle time,
and in such cases the subsoiling will
not be very expensive. Then too we
must make a distinction between the
sections Of country where the rainfall
Is fairly good and the sections Of
country where the aridity Is so great
that there is little or no water to hold.
1t Is believed that s~ubsoilins is more
effective where the rainfall is fairly
good than where the rainfall is very
slight. This is because the subsoiilng
makes 1t possible for the ground to
hold more water and a part OF the
heavy precipitations is caught and held
in the reservoir that would otherwise
run of. In the case Of semi-arid lands
the water seldom falls in such quanti-
ties that the soil cannot retain it.

decidedly effeminate in his looks and
ways. He had been one Of Lottie's

wonderfully interesting. She talked
about cotillon figures, pretty girls,

"Gwacious. ! never thought she
knew so much" he said TO himself. as
he left the house. But this was only
because Alicia had displayed knowl-
edge OF the subjects with which Reggy
was conversant. for he had always
known that she was intellectual"
1t was scarcely a week before Reggy

horticultural Observations,

The annual returns to the state Of

ped out Is said to be about IS, 900, 900.
This Is very much less than 1t would
be had the great orange groves not
been cut down by the severe cold spells
OF the last few years.
II is reported that there Is quite a
general movement among the truck
growers OF Texas for organization.
This Is to be commended. for by such
combinations the better shipment and
distribution OF the products can be OBJ
tanned. II the growers of vegetables
and fruit ever become fully organized
1t will be possible to prevent inferior
goods being put on the market.
A writer says that Florida suffers
more damage from frost than any other
state. The cold waves this spring have
killed large quantities OF early fruits
and vegetables. Beans and egg plants
were extensively destroyed. In the
midst OF some Of the vegetable gardens
the thermometer dropped to about 20
below the freezing point. Florida Is
really In a hard position in this regard.
