rs permanency now for over five
years." writes John Gould, of Ohio,
to Rural New Yorker.
''To my mind one of the greatest
benefits of the centralized schools is
in abolishing the class-ship incident to
the division of rural schools. Each
neighborhood thus becomes a class,
with but little interest in the COM
munity at large, and the matters of
acquaintance of children in different
parts of town are slight. Now all
the children of the town are of one
community, and merit wins. One
scholar is as good as another, and
talent and department are the only
avenues to merit.
at is not here contended that the
centralized school is yet perfect. 1t
Is in state of evolution, but each
step seems the better move toward
solving the question of n better ed
ucation for the rural boy and girl.
In average attendance the new plan
far exceeds the old. In some towns
the attendance is % per cent. better
on the average. 1t is fully that in
one township. Then it promises to
add at least two years more school,
ing to the school life of the pupil.
To be taught along ever unfolding
and new lines in study inspires,
where the ever going back to re-
traverse old study byways causes
listless and lifeless ways, even to de.
sertion of school life.
"The cost is less in most instances.
The transportation of school dis
trict to n central point is less than
the cost of it's separate maintenance.
In some towns the centralized plan
saves hundreds of dollars. In some
the cost is about the same. In a
few, where causes have been beyond
the boards control the cost is more,
but in all cases the instruction vast.
ly compensates for slightly increased
cost"

THE DRIFT OF FASHION.
Various Bits of Feminine Finery
That Arc Now I'm High
Favor.

The straight, high collar for men will
be less high than last year, and many
men will wear the medium-height coli
lar with turned-down or wing points.
The derby hat has full round
crown, higher than last years hat, the
height ranging in four styles from five
to 5a4 inches. The popular hat will be
5A inches high and have a 1A wide
brim. The brown derby hat was fail
ure last year, and hatters do not show
it this year.
Black taffeta is much favored for
blouses. One was recently seen tucked
all over. 1t had square lawn yoke and
full undersleeves of lawn, embroidered
with black China ribbon. For fancy
work this ribbon embroidery has been
adopted for some time past, says the
Boston Budget.
The new silky French cashmere in
China blue or strawberry color makes
the prettiest of frocks for little girls.
For quite small child, the deep yoke
trimmed with creamy lace, and the
long straight skirt tucked at the hem,
and bishop sleeves caught into band
of lace at the wrist. is as becoming a
dress as anyone could wish to have.
There is no end to the craze for river
pearls, and we find most of our new or
naments hedecked with them. Those
who canont fall into the modern spir-
it of wearing imitation pearls will
gladly buy necklaces and chains of this
genre and wear them with an easy con-
science. Many of the long chains are
strung into sections, ten or twelve
pearls in each, and divided by jewel,
while others are divided by Il larger
pearl.

OUR FRUIT I'm DEMAND.
Europeans Want American Dried
Pruncs, Peaches npd Apricots
and Green Apples.

"The prospect for an unprecedented
export of American dried prunes, april
cots, peaches and pears, as well as
evaporated apples and raspberries to
Germany the autumn and winter of
'O1 is exceedingly bright, provided
the crop in the United States is suffi-
ciently plentiful to furnish large sup
ply at reasonable prices" Thus writes
Consul General Frank H. Mason at
Berlin. This seems to be the general
opinion of those who are in a position
to study the tendencies. The Paris eX-
position has done much to open the
eyes of Europeans to the fact that
America is great fruit producing
country and a great increase in the de-
mand for our fruits is confidently ex-
pected. Many American merchants,
combining business with pleasure,
have visited the Paris exposition and
taken the opportunity thus offered to
see personally many of the dealers in
the principal German cities and offer
their products to them.
In Berlin, wholesale dealer in
fruits has informed the consulate that
his customers, largely grocers and
provision dealers in other cities and
towns, have been giving larger orders
than ever before for American fruits.
The excellent flavor of the American
products, both fresh and dried, to-
gether with the reasonable prices,
makes whatever competition there is
largely in our favor.
California fruits are making their way
into Siberia. Canned goods are in great
favor. But excessive freight rates, de-
lays in forwarding and bad packing
are great hindrances to the develop
ment of trade in that country. Prop
erly grading and packing fruit is one
of the most important questions COL
nected with the foreign fruit trade.
indicates that the trade is very seri-
ously injured by improper packing.
This is equally true of fruit for do
mestic markets, and accounts for
many of the disappointments in fruit
growing. The growers do not intend
to be dishonest in their. grading, but
their standards are not high when
compared with the standards required
by n critical market. Oftentimes when
that market is glutted, the shippers
ideal is far below that of the market
The experience of the past ought to be
u guide for the future. The only way
the demand for American fruits can
be upheld and increased in foreign
markets is for the packers and ship
pers to place before those markets {
frst-class product, so picked that i
will reach the consumer in first-class
condition.-Prof. II. p. Gould, Mary

THE MULE DEFENDED.
His Advantages Over the Horse for
Farm Work Discussed by a
Southern Editor.

The question is so often asked by
farmers who have never used muics
on the farms, preferring horses, that
we shall give few of the merits pos.
sessed by our long-eared friend, says
the Tennessee Farmer. The mule il
an easy animal to raise. He doesn't
eat much, as compared with horse
An energetic mule will make trip
quicker than horse, though he may
not go fast-the secret of his speed
is his uniform gait, steady and per.
sistent. You hardly ever see sick
mule; he seems practically immune
from the diseases which attack
horses. A mule can endure more
hardship than horse, will pull more
in proportion to his size and will
"stay with it" longer. A mule is
easier broken or trained to work
than horse, and is more reliable
after initiated. If a team of mules
run away they look out for them
selves, and though they make some
close turns and go through needles
eye, so to speak, they usually come
out unharmed. We would rather plow
corn with team of mules than with
horses; they break down less corn
and turn around quicker. Hot wealth
er affects the mule less than The
horse. A good, honest, business mule
is worth, and will command, good
price any day in the week. The use
fulness of mule continues longer
than that of horse. The mule is
not handsome doesn't make good
roadster, isn't stylish, doesn't "do
himself proud" if hitched to n fancy
yellow wagon or cart, but what he
lacks in appearance he makes up in
actual usefulness on the farm.

abouts. Whenever such indications
are seen, the insects should be dug out
with knife or otherSharp-pointed in
strument. Those which have bored
deeply into the wood may be reached
by a sharp, stiff wire thrust into the
hole. They can also be destroyed by
cutting away the bark at the upper
end of the chamber and pouring scald-
ing water into the opening so that it
will soak through the castings.
Among the preventive remedies, al
kaline washes or solutions are prob
ably the most useful. Soft soap made
to the consistency of thick paint by
the addition of strong solution of
washing soda in water, is n good for
mula for application. 1t should be
painted over the bark, especially about
the base of the trees and upward to the
main branches. If applied during the
morning of n warm day, it will dry in
few hours, forming tenacious coat
ing, not easily dissolved by rain
Whale oil soap can be substituted for
the soft soap if desirable. A small
quantity of gas tar added to the so
luton will also assist in repelling the
insect and will not injure the trea-

ABOUT TOOTH POWDERS.
Directions for the Preparation of a
Harmless and Pleasant
Dcntifrice.

The most agree able tooth powders
in common use to-day are declared by
those who know I o have deleterious ma
terials in them that injure the enamel
of the teeth and induce early decay.
Soaponaceous dentines are excellent
in themselves, unless used in excess.
When used continually they turn the
teeth yellow. Once a week is said to
be often enough to use soap on the
teeth to destroy the peculiar animal.
cu,ae which infest teeth and are not
destroyed by ordinary powders. hure
white CASTLE soap, which is made of
pure olive oil, can be certainly depend
ed upon as dentine, says the New
York Tribune.
1t is the best and cheapest plan for
a family to order their dentine by
prescription from trustworthy drug
gist. They know just what ingredi-
ents it contains. To make this dem
tine. purchase one-half an ounce of
the best English prepared chalk and
one dram each of pulverized Floren-
tine orris root, pulverized cuttlefish
bone. pulverized boraX and pure pow
dered sugar. Mix all the ingredients
thoroughly together into an even pow
der. Season the whole with four drops
of oil of wintergreen. Stir the pow
der repeatedly, put it into large
mouthed bottle and cork it tightly.
This recipe was furnished to the Trib-
une by well-known dentist, who rec
commended it above all other dentines.
If YOU wish to use tooth wash in con-
necs ion with this, purchase an ounce
or more of pure tincture of myrrh and
put few drops of it into tumbler of
cold water. When you have finished
brushing your teeth rinse off the teeth
and gums with this mixture. This will
keep the breath fragrant and is very
agreeable, though it must always be
used in connection with some good
| pure powder, which is the best of al
dentines for keeping the teeth in goot
condition. Dental floss, which is pure
soft silk thread, may be purchased by
the spool to use when it is necessary
to extract something that has lodged
between the teeth. A harsher thread
may injure the enamel.
