Carving Goals to Nevcnstle

LAS to that Gala, it was the greatest

shadow taking care Of it. By the time
got into California l was sick and tired
of it. But remembered the comfort the
blossoms would give me when they came.
When l got UP on the morning of the
last day ! looked out of the car window,
and may I never see home again il the
train wasn't running through a field of
caiias so big that l couldn't see its lin

Ito think that an ordinarily sensible
woman should cart a twenty-pound pot

REEDS FEE TOO MODEST.

The man was in Washington when
he received Mr.. Reeds letter. The

was "a young fellow in the law bus-
ness" and was afraid of charging
too much" and concluded by saying
that il $1,000 wasn't too high he

the letter was written in Mr. Reeds
characteristic style of droll humor.

CRUDE FARMING IN JAPAN.
Still Agriculture is Very Old Sci.
ence in the Land.

enCe m tHC LGRO.
Although Japanese methods OF
farming appear crude enough to Am
orleans and Europeans, it is well tc
remember that agriculture is very
old science in the land of the Mikado
1t was introduced there 200 years
before Christ by an emperor who was
afterward deified as god OF the crops
in recognition of mis- great services to
the people.
The soil had been cultivated in al
inferior way before that time, but this
anterprisirg ruler saw the needs OF
better methods. He taught the peas
ants by his own example. plowing 9
small plot of ground and sowing il
with FIVE most important cereals. IL
he course OF a few years every hill
side aud valley in Japan was smiling
-eady for harvest.
This was accomplished, too. in spite
If difficulties. The soil of Japan is
naturally OF very poor quality. The
antire country is OF volcanic forma
ion. and only onc-tweltth of the lane
fiat enough for farming. The farms
If to-day are divided into very small
sections, each hardly larger than {
potato patcn. but every inch is culti
yated. The implements are crude.
After being plowed the soil is loos
ened with long handled spade, ane
is then ready for the planting. The
sickle used in harvesting is little
larger than a cuyyed bread knife.

The New Silk Jackets.

Some of the new French silks show
broche or moire backgrounds. while
Vatican and Pompadour effects lend
distinction to novel weaves of taffeta,
peau de sole and foulard.
A number of the little black silk jack
cts of taffeta or other weave, are fin
ished with cleft collar, revers, and ell
bow cuffs formed of chine silk or Pom
padour brocade. and these look particu-
larly smart when worn over blouse
waist of cream net lace or embroidered
hatiste, with collar and girdle of black
velvet. On some of the more expensive
French models made in this manner the
black velvet accessories are embroidered
over the colors of the f1owered silk

How Peeraaes Die Out.

The recent death of Lord Vantage
affords a curious example of how peer
ages die out. He was the first and last
of the line. though the title was not
conferred upon him in 1885 with any
idea of it's being only life peerage.
for he was very wealthy man Lord
Vantage had no children. There has
been great deal of talk lately about
model saloons that are run by peers,
but it was not generally known that
Lord Vantage was the first peer to
run an establishment of this kind. He
started a model inn in Arlington long
before the rise of the Gothenbusg sys.
TEN, and gave the profits to local char
tiles.
