Hot House Grapes Coming Into Favor.

Hot House Grapes Coming Into Favor.
The time will probably come in
America when the European grape
will again be valuable commercial
fruit. 1t was at one time, the fruit
selling readily at S1.50 pound. The
cultivation went down for several
reasons, among them the fear Of COM
petition with the outdoor grown Eu-
ropean grapes from California, the
injury to the roots by the phylloxera
and the difficulty of getting the INTEL
ligent labor to manage the vine prop
erly. 1t is clear, however, that no
more fear of competition with the
California product need be feared than
with the Spanish grapes that come in
barrels of cork dust from the Old
World. These are very good in their
way, and will usually bring remunera-
tive returns, though the figures be
small. There. is no comparison be-
tween these in quality as compared
with those grown under glass, by one
who knows his business. This has
been abundantly proved in England

fess that with the average farmer
many of them are neglected We are
willing to admit. however. that they
may we'll be taken as m asure Of the
highest and best conditions Of success.
They may look, some Of them. like
matters of secondary Importance, but
they are test of good habits and of a
really industrious and thrifty mode Of
farming. We quote:
The man who makes the farm pay
Is a busy man, but there are some
things he does not let his busy life pre-
vent attending to.
He is never too busy to keep up with
his work. The way he accomplishes
so much Is never too busy to plan out
his work, days weeks and months
ahead.
He finds time to keep up with mod
ern methods and discoveries, and is a
deep student Of those sciences which
apply to his business.
He finds time to attend the meetings
OF farmers and listen to the papers,
discussions and lectures given for his
benefit.
He finds time to attend the poultry,
cattle and horse shows, and local fairs
and expositions where agriculture and
kindred vocations are given attention.
He is never too busy to see that his
stock is rightly treated. His horses
are carefully groomed after the days
work, and his hogs and cows are never
without an abundance of pure, fresh
water.
He is never too busy to take care Of
his machinery as soon as through
using it for the season, painting and
oiling all exposed parts.
He finds time for repainting all the
farm buildings as soon as they need 1t,
and never neglects needed repairs.
He finds time to cut all the weeds in
fence corners and other hooks about
the farm, and does not allow the road
bordering his farm to grow weeds and
ripen seeds to seed his farm.
He finds time to work his garden,
cultivate his orchard and care for the
trees and shrubbery about his farm.
He finds time to build and keep up a
neat lawn with choice bed Of flowers
and ornamental shrubbery.

Best Location for a New Garden

Where the land is rotated for gar
dening the best location for new gar
den is the strawberry bed Of last year,
for the reason that strawberries are
not only literally manured and given
direct applications Of fertilizer, but are
also carefully cultivated and the weeds
destroyed. The shading Of the ground
by the strawberry vines also promotes
the formation of humus. An excellent
way to treat the plot is to burn it over,
so as to clean off any dead grass or
other refuse that may be left, apply
well-rotted manure Tin order to avoid
seeds or weeds), and plow early in the
spring in time to give portion OF the
space to onions.

THE AMERICAN GIRLS ATTRAC.
TI0NS

The Duke Of Manchester. who prac-
tises what he breaches, says that for.
eign noblemen marry American girls
because they are beautiful. witty,
graceful, high-bred, original, innocent,
audacious, intellectual and practical.
That is to say, because they are the
sum of all the virtues. But isn't it
odd that practically all Of the girls
sought by these foreign gentry are
rich? There are dead loads Of
American girls who have all the quail
ties enumerated by the big duke, and
vet do not contract foreign alliances.
With few exceptions, foreign noblemen
are attracted only to rich American
girls. Of course, it may be only a
coincidence, but 1t suggests all sorts
Of idle ulations.-St. Louis Post.

THE STYLES OF HAIR DRESSING

THE STYLES OF HAIR DRESSING.
1t Is reported by some foreign au-
thority on fashions that dyelng the
hair is entirely out of style, dark, nat
ural tints being the mode once again.
Change in the way Of doing the hair
Is one Of the great secrets Of success
In dress, providing the style is always
In harmony with the shape of the head
and contour of the face. There is an
evident effort to lower the chlgnon to
the nap Of the neck, but this mode
Is not readily accepted by all women,
so for the present the hair is arranged
high on. the head for evening dress,
and little below the crown for or
binary wear.
Many young girls adopt the low style
of hair dressing, which is very pretty
with the new gypsy hat. Another
point in fashionable hair dressing is
bringing the locks well down on the
forehead, either parted at. one side or
. IN. a soft pompadour falling over the
ears. g.! i
The decorations are the varying
point in hnir dressing for evening, and
anything between diadem diamond
combs and simple rose seems to. be
permissible. Diamond pins in circles,
crescents and oblong shapes are worn
at the back with a comb above and
side combs and an ornamental bow in
addition. In fact, this craze for deco
ration is so often ovcrdone that the
later fancy for one or two. roses is q
pretty relief from the barbaric ten
dencies of the day. The new gold
roses are charming in the dark hair,
and some of the colors are quite as
beautiful.

:, the daytime, provided they
have nice light shed, where they may
scratch and hustle. but during the
night a, warm house is absolutely es-
sential. Hens that are found to roost
in house where water will freeze will
not lay, and it is folly to try to make
them.
Build the house so that the heat may
be easily regulated, but do not attempt
to supply artificial heat by means of
stoves or heaters. Fowls subjected to
unnatural heat will easily contract
colds and in time become sickly. Let
the ventilation be so arranged that
when the weather moderates the heat
may be at once reduced, and do not
force the fowls to stay at all times in
a house which is intended for zero
weather.
If the same conditions could be made
to exist in winter as in summer, the
hens would lay equally well at all sea-
sons. but since the natural order Of
things, vary so much, it therefore rests
with us to supply, as nearly as posi-
BILE, those things which nature has de-
prived them of. Heat, light, exercise,
pure food and water are most to be
considered, without one of which there
is no sure road to success. All else
hinge on these, and our profits will
depend on the economical way we
have provided for the fowls.-Home

PHTHlsls ON THE DECLINE.
There is Far Less of Consumption nov
Than In Earlier Days.

Mortality statistics collected in diff
ferent countries seem TO concur in Civ
iug evidence of a steady reduction IN
the number OF deaths from consump-
ton during the past half century. II
may be plausibiy suspected that the
whole OF the apparent gain is not real
and that greater exactitude of diagno-
sic and a more precise use OF the
term "phthisis pulmonalis" may ex
plain away some OF IL. Still. We may
thankfully believe that a large part is
real. We obtain support in that con-
clusion by the general impressions
almost without exception, assure us
they hear and see far less of CON
sumption" now than they did in the
days OF their youth.
II is OF great interest to determine
the influences which have been at
work in bringing about this result.
II may be said at once that attention

had been taken. n Is possible. but
perhaps not very probable. that the
inspection OF butchers meat may have
been influential In some slight degree
BY far the most probable hypothesis
is. that the gain has accrued from the
improvement in the general prosperity
OF the race which the nineteenth cen
fury witnessed.
To speak OF England alone. those
who can remember what II was sixty
years ago assure US that the advance
In the condition OF the working class

which is now obtained by all is more

clusiveiy vegetable than II formerly
was. The clothes are better, and the
houses are better. In spite OF the fact
that the age has witnessed the infiu,
OF population into cities and large
towns and a partial abandonment Of
the country. the facilities for loco
motion and the cultivation by both
sexes OF athletics and outdoor pursuits
have probably secured without dimin-
ition the advantages Of fresh air. As
regards the use OF alcoholic beverages
the age has witnessed vast improve
mens. While there has been no dim

what may be called the dietetic use has

seem 20 come to the conclusion that
the reduction in the prevalence Of
tuberculosis has been due TO improve
