AT the home of Mrs. Annie Lord
Hynson last Wednesday evening, a very
pleasing Musicale was given by her
class of Music students. The parlors
had been turned into a reception room
and seated with chairs, and brilliantly
lighted. The more advanced scholars
showed a delacacy of touch aud pro-
ficiency that reflected great credit upon
their instructor. Misses Bessie Mack
lin, Ina HalIett, Lizzie White, Annie
Archer, Ethel Short, Pauline Abbott
and Sallie Masten of the more advanced
classes received rounds of applause for
their rendering of difficult music. The
younger pupils-ranging from those
who had taken only a few lessons to
those of ten and twelve years old, were
a pleasure to their teacher and sur
prise TO the parents, whose observation
of their music is generally confined TO
persistent effort to keep these little folks
practicing instead of frOlicking. Seve-
raj vocal selections were rendered by
the youngsters, in which little Margret
Gill and Cecil Mullikin easily won the
hearts Of the audience. Mrs. Hynson s
Musicale was a success.

The newest floral wonder Is the
Shasta daisy" originated by flower
grower of California. 1t measures a
foot in circumference, and, when one
was exhibited recently in a florists
window in San Francisco people lit
orally fiocked to see 1t.
1t Is really new kind of flower. and
has been produced by several years
OF crossing and selection, three differ
ent kinds of daisies being used-the
common American species, the larger
and coarser European sort, and the
Japanese daisy.
There are three rows of petals of
the purest white, and each blossom is
upheld by single strong and wiry
stem which is nearly two feet long.
One advantage of the Shasta daisy
Is said to be that 1t is exceedingly
hardy, enduring much cold. so that 1t
can be grown out Of doors. 1t is
claimed that 1t prospers in almost any
kind OF soil, blooms all summer long

round) and may be rapidly multiplied
by dividing the roots.
A popularity of this new and beau.
tiful blossom is that it sometimes
shows colors, indicating that daisies

Made SONG Pin Money.

R. G. McCroskey, who owns and
cultivates 1400 acres of land near Gar
field, Wash, has finished threshing
his wheat and finds that he has a
total of $4,000 bushels of wheat for
this seasons crop. Mr. McCroskeys
crop averaged 35 bushels to the acre.
He had about 1000 acres of wheat, the
remainder of his land being in oats
or other crops. He has figured all
expenses of the crop just harvested
and finds that his wheat cost him
an average of % cents per bushel
placed in the warehouse. He sold
$4,000 bushels before the beginning
of the harvest for 451S cents per
bushel. Wheat is now worth 40 cents
per bushel, and If it were all sold at
the present prices Mr.. McCroskey
would net IL cents per bushel, or
1896 per acre from this single crop.
But adding the amount sold at As
cents per bushel makes the total aver
age, If the remainder were sold at
present prices, $6,87 per acre net
profit. Multiplying this by 100 gives
a total net profit on this crop of wheat
of $6870.
