Good gravel has so largely come into
request that many suburban lands
with that valuable substratum are
quarried to a considerable depth be
fore being sold ON building leases. But
it is essential to restore level surface,
as even the most speculative builder
would hesitate to run up meat villa
residences" in deep holes. The owner
frequently gets over this difficulty by
allowing urban refuse to be shot into
the excavation; in many cases he even
exacts a small sum for every load tilted
on his ground. The surface being thus
leveled, year or two are allowed for
the soil to sink and become compact.
Occasionally grass is sown to give
natural appearance to the spot.
All is now in readiness for the build

for his terraces" avenues" and gar

but between their ground floors and the
gravel lies thick stratum of partially
decomposed rubbish, teaming with
malaria, and not for many years will
the deposits cease to give off noxious
gases.
But the tenant, coming from a diff
ferent locality, knows nothing of the
making" process to which the plot
has been subjected. When, therefore,
ill health dogs his family, he puts it
down to defective drainage or some
other structural deficiency and spends
money freely on remedial measures
without the least benefit. All this
misery might be prevented if it were
legally prohibited to build human habi-
tations on decomposed refuse until the
soil had acquired a wholesome char
acter.-London Globe.

How They Treated washington.

AS an example of the progress of
medicine during the last century The
Medical Record cites the case of Wash
ington's last illness. He died of laryn-
geal diphtheria, and the treatment was,
1t would seem, for an old man sick
with a disease, very exhausting to the
vitality. 1t consisted in the abstrac-
ton of between two and three quarts
of blood, the administration of about
20 grains of calomel and 6 grains of
ternal application Of blister. And yet
so strong was Washingtons constitu-
ton that he survived this treatment for
a hours.

Old Maids and Old Bachelors.

There is an old saying that a woman is
no older than she looks and man no old
er than he feels, and the age at which
bachelors and old maids become old de-
Ponds very much upon themselves,
though, as matter of fact, people bring
upon themselves the appellation of "old
bachelor" or "old maid"
The man or woman who possesses a
well regulated mind. kind. pleasant dis
position, sympathy with the suffering of
others and fortitude to support pain is
never referred to as an ''old bachelor or
''old maid"
A selfish. unpleasant hammered, self
absorbed, easily irritated man is "a mis-
cradle old bachelor" The term "old
maid" is frequently given to the harsh
voiced woman who initiates man in dress
and bearing, one who interferes with ev-
erybory, causes trouble and does her best
to make life miserable for everybody she
comes in contact with

the horticultural meetings last winter
that the apple trees of the west and
northwest We're in special danger of in
jury by the cold of the winter because
the trees carried nearly all their leaves

seems not to have been well founded,
for apple orchards never came through

have had something to do with their

We would like to know whether or

corn the other day which he had haul

scattered about three bushels of corn
on the highway between his home and
the depot all for want of a cloth to

Brown Hair i, Popu1ar.

The woman of today who desires to
be fashionable must wear brown tress-
er whether she seeks to shine upon the
stage or in society. The change is not
due to the initiative of the stage, how
ever. The mania for blond hair some
years ago was most evident among the
footlight favorites. Then came the more
recent rage for all shades and grades of
auburn hair, of which Zaza was the
spectacular example. The quiet, do
mesticated brown hair of so many
player women today reflects the vogue
for it in all classes Of society. Miss
Mannering, Miss Marlowe, Miss An
glin, Miss Eleanor Robson, Miss Tyree,
Miss Bates and many more have won
success In spite Of what would once
have been considered a tremendous
handicap. brown hair.
1t is the blond actress, whether actu-
ally or artificially so. who is handicap
ped today. She not only suggests the
socially fast and furious, but she is old
fashioned, which is even worse. Most
light haired actresses, such as Miss
Adams, are light haired and nothing
more. They are careful not to hint Mt
the word blond. 1t is noticeable that
the brown haired actresses are, as a
rule. recent recruits to the profession.
They represent the new order of things.
Among women in private life that one
meets on the streets, at the shops and
cafes brown hair is much more COM
mon than it has been for years. 1t is
the fashion and good one. 1t stands
for the. real rather than the false.-Chi-
cago Chronicle.

A Students Record.

One of the Wilton academy students,
says the Kennebec (Me9 Journal, has
made record worth naming. Miss
Maud Ranger lives at distance of AZ
miles from the school building. During
the three years that she has been
member of the school she has boarded
at home. driving to and from school,
has been her own teamster and hostler
through the drifting SHOWS and severe
cold of our Maine winter and the
treacherous roads Of spring. During
that time she has been absent from the
academy but three days. If she was a
boy. she would probably be president
some day. and even as 1t is Well,
who knows what may happen as the
twentieth century rolls along?"

The Up to Date woman.

What are you smiling at?" asked an
up to date western woman who said
she lived in st. Louis, but who really
divided her time between London, Par

room at the Waldorf, while a French
maid rapidly unpacked the various
trunks and boxes that filled up the
room, arranging with deft fingers her
mistress writing table and turning a
tea table into comfortable little card

New Flowers For Millinery,

Roses are as fashionable as ever, but
they no longer reign alone. Moreover,
they are not chosen of any large size.
Globular shaped roses and pompons are
the kinds most favored the first da-
mask, deep pink or white, the latter
very light pink and white. Among the
other flowers which promise to be the
vogue for early summer are half blown
peonies, rhododendron and hydrangea
bloom. white and yellow, marguerites,
lilies OF the valley, forgetmenots. vio-
las crimson tipped daisies and other
small wild flowers.
The fashion of trimming with COR
donS or wreaths of flowers is maintain
ed, but instead of making this Of one
sort only the wreath is often composed
of number Of small posies set side by
side-thus brown straw toque made
up of chip braids, covered with brown
lisse, encircled with a wreath of posies
containing two posies of each of the
following flowers: Half open, deep pink
rosebuds, mignonette. white margue-
rites, wild hyacinths and pale pink
hawthorn. Another idea consists in
trimming with two or three narrow
garlands of different flowers OF flowers

Girls With Poor Voices.

The most noticeable defect in an 9TH
erwise excellent dramatic performance
recently given in this city by set of
college girls was in the matter of
voices. OF the large cast there was
Just one young woman who possessed a
voice of anything like requisite quality.
Hers was both rich and carrying, and
1t was an added pleasure to listen to
her lines as she spoke them from the
contrast with the others.
Thin, throaty tones or, worse, those
with distinct nasal information are bad
enough to the sensitive ear when used
In the key of ordinary conversation.
When 1t is needed to expand such
voices to the declamatory point, then
lack of volume. displacement and mel
lowness are painfully evident.
Faithful practice may do much to
correct faults of emphasis and inflec-
ton, but the most sanguine coach will
not undertake to make over a poor
voice in the course Of three or even six
weeks rehearsals. The possibilities of
the speaking voice are beginning to be
understood. Parents are discovering
that 1t is a wise plan to cultivate in
their daughters and their sons, too, for
that matter, an agreeable voice for the
speech of life.
Instructors in the art of developing
the exquisite mechanism and wonder
ful capability of the human speaking
voice are springing up on every side.
It cannot be long before it will be a
positive reproach for woman of edu-
cation at least to speak in shrill, nasal
or unplaced tones.-New York Sun.
