FEW APPLE BLOOMS IN 1901

The first rural wall of the season will
probably be the lament of the farmer for
the apple trees which have not bloomed
and will not bloom until the next year.
The failure is not quite general and not
entirely common to all varieties There
will be few apples among the odds and
ends. But the great early and late apple
crops which were better things last year
than the peach crop fails to appear.
There will be no cider in the next au-
tumn, no applekill for Christmas, moth
ing but turnips and popcorn the winter
through. The failure is not easily &C.
counted for, and will be classed mys'
terry by the ordinary observer. Snay'

Machines in Agriculture.

In 1855 it required on the average
four hours and "a minutes Of the time
of a laborer to do the ploughing, har-
rowing, cultivating, ETC., that went to
the producing Of bushel of Indian
corn, and the price of that laborer was
nearly 80 cents on the average. To-
day machines have changed conditions.
Their use has reduced the necessary
time of the laborer to about "a min
utes and the cost Of it to about 1879
cents. The wages are, however, much
better now than in 1855. In 1880 the
time required to produce each bushel
Of wheat was over three hours, it is
now about 10 minutes; the cost has
been reduced from over IL cents to
about 8 cents. Before the introduce
ton of machines the time devoted to
producing each ton of hay was about
S51s hours; it is now liz hours. In
1850 the corresponding cost was over
So; it is now about $1.29. These and
many other comparisons of the sort
are to be found in report by Mr..
Holmes printed by the Department of
Agriculture in Washington.

does not suit all faces, says the Even

The very latest design in coats Is
that known as Inc Louis Quinze. It lis
made Of lowered silk, with velvet
5revers and elbow sleeves supplied with
MOUSSE etaire cuffs. The little gar
ments are really very pretty, especially
when slipped on over a soft white
gown. The back Of the coat has two
small plaits, while the front is basqued,

II you wish to be ultra fashionable,
supply yourself with a tucked glace
bolero and skirt. Any bodice may be
worn with them. The best coats for all
occasions are now made of the glace
silk, and are very much trimmed. Lace
collars are thrown over the silk ones,
and thus richness and variety OF effects
are achieved.

Big Electrical Enterprise.

<1 One of the great electrical enter
prises of the nineteenth century is
nearing it's completion Seven years
have been spent at this business. Three
thousand miles Of wire are in position,
and l, 200 more will be necessary to-
carry the line to its terminus in the
land of the Pharaohs. This will cover
the entire length Of Africa. The cost
of the line as so far completed has
been $5,000,000, and its completion will
add 81, 900, 600. more to the total The
work done has been under almost APP:
palling difficulties. sWamps have been
bridged, mountain chasms crossed,
floods Waded, the lion and the barba-
rian faced frequently to the point of
death, and the miseries Of an almost
unbearable climate endured. The ant
made saWdust of the poles, and most
Of the material used had to be carried
through primeval forests on the shout
ders of aboriginals. The copper wire
was sometimes made into bullets to
shoot down the white intruders, and
piles Of human bones have been left
to Whiten in the sun. where the can
nibal or the beast of prey had gorged
on the remains. The cost has been
heavy, but the results will in the long
run be the transformation of Africa,
as the railway will follow the tele-
graph line, and the products of all ma
tons find one Of the great markets in
the future between the Cape Of Good
Hope and the Egyptian end OF the Nile.
AS an engineering enterprise and as a
heroic effort to carry out magnificent
idea, there are but few chapters in
modern enterprise to tell more thrill
ing or wonderful story.

warm or tepid water is best. It Is al
ways advisable to consult ones physi-
clan in regard to the kind most help
full says the Evening Star. Healthy
people may take a tepid bath Zone in
which the temperature varies from 81
to so deg. twice a day--when they
rise and when they retire. They
should remain in the tub not longer
than ten minutes. For delicate per-
sons this bath should be INDUCED Ii
but once a day before breakfast,
Healthy persons may substitute for the
tepid bath the cold bath temperature
from SO to Is deg, while delicate ones
should never risk it for more than
five minutes before breakfast. After
bathing. the body must be dried as
quickly as possible with rough towels:
Bath towels are seldom large enough.
They can scarcely be too large, and are
recommended Of a size TO envelop the
body and dry it at once. IL the bath
leaves the body feeling chilled, it is
an Indication not that bathing should
be escheWed, but that that special kind
of bath is not at the time adapted to
one s. hysical condttio on
