A FEMININE WEAKNESS.
The Claims of Scores of American
Women to AristOcracy Are Child
ish and Ridiculous,

Perhaps the fetish to which we
women attach the most undue i'm.
portance is social position, writes "An
American Mother" in the Ladies'
Home Journal. '"We set out with the
creed that we are all equal, and then
spend much of our lives in struggling
to force our way in some petty cir
Gle which is barred against us, or to
bar our own against some of our
neighbors. Nothing could be more
ridiculous than the many fluctuations
on which we Americans l.. >e our
claims to aristocracy. The yelief is
almost universal that the possession
of certain enormous number of mil
lions constitutes a caste which stands
on the level of royalty. But short of
these stupendous heaps of gold, mon
~ does not always command preced-
ence here, especially in our small
towns and villages. We are all of
us ready with our gibe at the new
rich as if our own blood had been
pure as that of Daimio for a thousand
years. Our claims to high caste are
often based upon some nay thical judge
or baronet far in the dim past; or
that we live in the most pretentious
house in the village. / have known
the possession of Grecian portico to
give social ascendancy to one family
over a town full of neighbors, plebeian
only in that they had no porches at
all So vague yet so strenuous are oux
ideas of caste.'

Creameries should be so located
that drainage will be perfect. Then
the drains or drainage pipes should
be carried so far that the slops will
go into some stream or onto soil that
will absorb it. At any rate the scent
from it should not get back to the
creamery. 1t is better to so dispose
of the drain that it will be placed
permanently out of sight. While the
creamery men are looking after the
sanitation of the creamery let them
be sure also that they do not create
nuisance near the dwellings, or
business places of other people,

bring quieting influence, The beer
stems or mugs make very effective
decorations for dining-rooms. They
can be bought for a very moderate
sum, for really good designs.
If you can manage it, always have a
blossoming plant or a green fern for
the table, as they add so much. There
are number of inexpensive little
mossy-like ferns which will flourish
under most unpromising conditions.
Have your curtains clean, and even
though they be of the most inexpen-
sive of muslins they will add much to
the room. The coarsest and common
est table linen can be kept clean and
white, and care should always be
taken to have everything put on the
table carefully and not thrown down
any way. Just now there is a prefer
ence for all white centerpieces, but
this is a matter best declaed by per-
sonal taste.-Radford Review.

ART IN THE HOUSEHOLD.
How to Make the Dining Room Brigh 4
and Cheerful and Restful
to the Eye.

All authorities agree that surround
ings have much to do with digestion,
and, as much of human happiness de-
pends upon digestion, it is certainly
our duty to bend our efforts toward
making the dining-room as bright and
pleasant as possible.
An east exposure is n very good one,
as one gets the pretty morning sun
and none of the hot afternoon sun
shine. We cannot always decide these
things for ourselves, but we can usual
" do much in overcoming disadvan-
tages by care in furnishing. If the
dining-room is dark room which the
suns rays cannot enter, it is not a
difficult matter to make sunshine from
the inside. We know thai the shades
of yellow bring suggest, MS of sun
shine to our minds, so here we have
our first idea. Let the walls be yel-
low, using several shades, but being
careful to keep clear of the lemon or
pumpkin shades. Have the woodwork
a soft creamy white enamel. A green
carpet looks well in a room like this
but great care must be exercised in
cOnDlnlnT t1eSe TWO COlOTS. mere
are beautiful carpets and rugs in the
rich shades of yellow running into
the nut brown which have a dash of
red in them. Such a carpet would be
particularly effective in yellow din
ing-room. Some of the ingrains have
beautiful brown effects, which would
be most pleasing as well as inexpen-
sive.
The Flemish oak finish, mahogany
or dark shades of oak are the best
woods for furniture. If you are fur
nishing anew. do not select one of the
heavy sideboards, unless you can af-
ford a very handsome one. There are
so many less clumsy little buffets and
tables which make a far better ap-
pearance for less money. For pic
lures, avoid the print pictures which
one sees in so many dining-rOoms.
Depend more upon fancy plates and
odd dishes for wall decorations than
upon pictures. The pictures you have
should be those that rest the eye and

FIGHTING THE BORERS.
Good, Clean Cultivation Is Better
Than All Washes and Dressings
That Can He Applied.

There are many orchards that have
suffered a heavy. and unnecessary loss
during the last summer from the at
tacks of borers. Many farmers do not
notice that there is anything wrong
with the trees until the leaves turn
yellow and begin to fall in midsummer.
After this stage has been reached there
IS little hope for a tree and it dies be-
fore frost. a glance at the tree will be
sufficient to see that the bark on the
trunk is dead and black in irregular
spots and Lines. Just beneath the
dead bark is the borer's burrow filled
with worm dust. The borer is too fa-
miliar to require description. He
works up and down the side of the
tree and finally burrows to the center.
When two or three burrows get into
the same tree. the trunk is girdled and
the tree is killed. In many cases the
borer works on only one side of the
tree.
If large spot of bark is killed, the
bark and woods begin to rot and are
soon filled with mushroom growth.
This mushroom breaks through the
bark of the tree and develops the fruit
ing portion on the outside of the trunk.
The fruiting part is white and resem-
bles that which is seen on rotten logs.
If the tree dies the rot is then supposed
to be the cause of its death. The rot
may hasten the death of the tree, but
a tree that is sound and free from
blemishes is very seldom if ever at
tackled by this rot.
The best thing to do is to keep the
tree free from borers and other
injuries. The Land should be kept free
from grass and weeds and well culti-
waited. Good, clean cultivation is worth
more than all the washes and dressings
that can be applied to prevent borers.

SMALL GREENHOUSE.
Suitable for Premises Where the
slope of Land Is Not Right for
the Ordinary House.

A profitable greenhouse for farm
or village place where the slope of land
is not right for the ordinary sidehill
house on a south incline may be made
on the plan of the one operated by Ell
lis Haynes, Middlesex county, Mass.
This house is 100 feet long by 90 feet
wide. 1t runs southwest and the roof
has two equal glass slopes facing the
northwest and southeast. 1t runs
across the slope of side hill, with a
gentle slope to the northwest. Upon
the upper or southeast side the ground
comes nearly to the foot of the glass,

to the finishing touch. Sew the hat to
the head and leave Cne long loop of rib
bon by which to hang to the wall. Dolls
dressed in the crimson Grape paper are
very pretty, and look well with black
ribbons. Larger dolls made with two
twine bags, to hold string of two sizes,
are very useful. These always sell well
at church fairs.
A pretty ribbon blotter for ladies'
writing table can be made by covering
piece of stiff cardboard the size that
the blotter is intended to be with silk
or some prettily colored linen. Then
cut six sheets of blotting paper a frac-
tion smaller than the pad and fasten
them to it with broad bands of satin
ribbon, embroidered in some dainty
pattern. The ribbon should be firmly
sewed down so that it will hold the
blotters, but must not be drawn so
tightly that soiled blotters cannot be
removed and new replaced. A big bow
of ribbon of any color may be tied on
one side, which adds to the richness Of
this gift.
Frames are always welcome gifts,
and they can be made in so many forms
that they are almost sure to suit all
tastes. A new and very pretty one is
made of japanese crash, and decorated
with a design cut from wall paper
and applied. In all cases it is better
when making a homemade frame to
have the form cut by regular frame
maker. 1t only costs few cents and is
so much more satisfactory, as it is al
most impossible to get the edges regu-
lar without the proper machines, and
nothing could look worse than an un-
even frame. japanese crash costs
about dollar yard, and one yard
will cover a dozen frames of cabinet
size. The large designs in the wall
paper with a decided coloring are the
most effective for applying. If the
flowers and leaves are carefully cut
out they can be so arranged as to
form very pretty spray, and, if well
done, they will look just like water
color. Sometimes a wall paper is
found rich enough to make the entire
covering for a frame. These are
usually improved by having the bdck
washed in with little water color.
Blotters and scrap baskets made in
the same way are equally effective.
The frames. if intended for steady
use, should all be bound and glassed
They will last indefinitely, and can
not be injured by dust.-Cincinnat

Unproftable Dairy Cows.

One of the hardest things to get
farmers to do is to Gull out from their
herds the unprofitable cows. The
dairyman that carries on his business
in thoroughly scientific manner will
be all the time culling out the animals
that he believes to be Improbable.
Some of the heifers that are kept year
after year in the hope that they may
develop milking qualities. Yet some of
these are so Informed in their udders
that it can be easily seen that they can
never be good mixers or profitable in
any sense. If they are used for breed
ers they are not likely to produce off
spring that will be profita bic. The ami
mails that are Improbable must be
hunted out and disposed of.-Farmers'
Review.

while on the opposite side earth is
banked up to about the same height.
Thus the part of the house below the
glass is protected by earth on both
sides and is very easy to heat. The
roof and one end are of glass, single
thickness, 11X24 inches. At the other
end is located the building containing
the office with the hot water heater in
the basement. Hot water overhead
pipes are used.
The crop grown is cucumbers. These
are grown on benches raised from the
surface. Mr.. Haynes thinks they would
do as well on solid earth. He finds the
cucumber crop most profitable of any,
returning him from $500 to $1,000 per
year and averaging from 500 to $500.
Two years ago the crop sold for 81 900
and his coal cost him $105. The house
and heating apparatus cost $1,000. Mr..
Haynes has had better success with
his cucumbers than many of his neigh
bors some of them having made an en-
tire failure of the crop.-Orange Judd
