The Poor Advertisement Writers.

plain.

ture his bargains in such form as to

the temptation to go and buy the things
so alluringly described. Now, if l do

1t is the Pewter Wedding Now.

The wooden wedding that comes at
the fifth anniversary has never been
very popular institution, the wood
enware seeming q trife farcical, so that
the pewter wedding which has come to
usurp it's place finds a warm welcome
awaiting it. Much Of the modern pew
ter is most artistic. The best is not
that of very white lustre, neither is it
capable of receiving polish that sim
ulates silver The color of the antique
Dutch and English composition is pre-
ferred, and in the designing many good
old forms are preserved. The art nou-
veau movement has had little effect
upon the best pewter, but colored
stones are much used In bringing out
the design. For instance, richly col
ored Connemara stones are sunk en-
cabochen in the pewter, and these,
with Scotch pebbles, bits of highly
polished onyx, black and white lava
malachite and cameo smell, with oc-
casional touches of enamel, give plenty
of color. Nearly every household ar
ticle is now made in pewter. Many
branched candelabra, decanters with
polished boar tusk handles, waist

AS predicted by the writer several
years ago, rhubarb roots for forcing
would, at no distant day, be in demand
and the growing of roots to meet that
demand would assume no mean proper
tions. AS proof of this, orders come
to this section every few days from
nearly all parts of the country only to
be refused, as the home demand Is far
ahead of the supply. The grower who
is so fortunate as to have the roots
would find ready market for them pro.
vided he cared to sell, but he wisely
prefers to force them. A nearby gar
dener, going out Of business, recently
sold at auction 21,000 roots at prices
ranging from $7.75 to SO per 100, as
they stood in the ground. This NUN.
ber of roots can easily be grown on
one acre, so it will be readily seen that
the crop is highly profitable, even if nc
use were made of the spring crops OF
leaf stalks. We are not advising O
wholesale rush into this new enter
prise, but nevertheless it seems reason.
ably certain that the demand will
come, and for those favorably situated
the way is open into profitable fiel6
of labor.-J. e. Morse, in Rural New

What Makes a Book Sell,

Some half-dozen Of the New York
booksellers have been interviewed by
the New York Sun on this subject.
Some of the answers are characteristic.
One bookseller said:
ut is odd, but l find that the color
of the cover has good deal to do
with a decision in favor of a book.
l mean as far as the decision can be
affected by strong first impression.
Red is the most catchy color, if it is
the right shade, and then nice shade
of green. The gilt and the corner de-
signs show up well on either red OF
green. Let red or green be standing
erect among group OF other colors,
and most people will pick out the
bright, strong color first

When Queen Wilhelmina was child,

dinner with the older members OF the

sions was permitted to make her ap-
pearance at dessert, and place herself

One day, says the Chicago Record.

eral. Presently she exclaimed:

next to men'
Everybody in the room turned at the

Emigration of Low-Caste Hindus.


A curious light is thrown upon the
India by the steadily increasing tide of
emigration to countries over sea, by
the returns recently published by the
Madras government. Some villages,
it seems, are almost depopulated, and
in others a labor famine is seriously
threatened.
The explanation of the phenomenon
seems to lie in the fact that emigration
is confined to a single class, the pari
abs, for whose labor there is no sub
stitute available. The radical change
in the character Of the pariah (who
formerly clung to his hut village with
q tenacity remarkable even in an In
dian attached to the soiD from an ul-
ira conservative into an impatient
seeker after fortune in the Straits,
Burma, Ceylon and Mauritius, is an
interesting sociological study.
The metamorphosis is attributed to
an alteration the part the pariah plays
in the economy of the village. For
merly he belonged to the soil, and
some share of the fruit of the soil be-
longed to him. Now the pariah is day
laborer, employed to plow and to plant,
and then left idle till harvest, when
he is called in for brief spell of work
and turned adrift again. In plenteous
seasons his lot is hard and onerous; in
years of scarcity it Is unbearable.-

The Girl Who Tilted Kitchener.

"The girl who Tilted Kitchener" Is
the title now added to that previously
possessed by Lady Helen Stewart, the
daughter of the Marquis of London
derry. Lady Helen is a beauty and
one of the most famous bellies of Lon
don court society. She became en-
gagged to Lord Kitchener Of Khartoum
about n year ago. Some time in the
autumn following she broke her en-
gagement to him and Immediately
bestowed her hand upon Lord Stavor-
dale.
The undoing Of Lord Kitchener in
his affairs of the heart came about,
it is said, through Lady Helen's read
ing and seeing the awful accounts
and caricatures of her lover in the
French illustrated papers; from hero
in her sight he became the cruel crea-
ture that the French press represented
him to be.
1t is said that Kitchener was
woman-hater till he met Lady Helen;
he was deeply infatuated with her
loyeliness and courted her persist
emily. His rank and military achieve
Ments fascinated her and she became
engaged to him. Kitchener is now
fifty years of age, a tall, handsome
man, with broad shoulders and a
frame as lean and sinewy as a grey
hound's.-Leslie's Weekly.

The Duties OF a Guest.

We live in an age of good breeding,
in an atmosphere of kindly courtesy,
and tactful manners, and yet any host
who has had the slightest experience
has sometimes wished that she might
draw up a code Of laws for the con-
duct of guests.
:, A guests obligation begins with the
reception of the invitation. 1t should
be either readily and courteously ac-
cepted or promptly and cautiously de-
clined.
Nothing is more trying to the pa
tience of the hostess and to the tenn
per of the cook than a belated dinner
guest. Perhaps no invitation, once
accepted, should be more strictly kept
than this one to dine. A guest should
be at the hostess house five minutes
before the hour appointed, and, to use
another's expression, Nothing but
death should hinder"
We should go to any function re-
solved to be entertaining and easily
entertained. An appreciative, respon-
sive, animated guest lifts part of the
responsibility from hostess. If our
dinner partner bores us, we can pre-
tend to be interested, and thus show
our good breeding, and compliment
both him and our hostess.-Voman's
Home Companion.

In choosing furniture one should
choose the same discretion as in pick
ing out friends, says an artist in arts
and crafts. Select each piece with an
eye single to the purpose for which it
is to be used. Let each piece be of
honest workmanship, showing the
grain and character of the wood from
which it is made, no veneer; and above
all, let it be in good taste with the
surroundings. AS n foundation prin-
ciple, it would be well to have noth-
ing in your house that is not either
useful or ornamental. Richness in
furniture or any other material does
not consist of overlooking in orna-
ment OF glaring color. 1t is rather the
perfect union of that which is useful
with that which may please the eye,
and often-in fact we might say al
ways-is pleasure both to the maker
and the owner. This is the reason
why the artist so admires that which
has been preserved from the middle
ages, for it made no difference for
whom designed-the rich or the poor
all bore that thoroughness of con-
struction and delicacy of thought that
came from the development of the
people in art tastes adapted to their
wants, each according to his station
in life.-New York Commercial Ad-
vertiser.
