SEPTEMBER WILD FLOWERS.
Vivid Patches Of Color That Mark the
End of the Flower Year.

From Country Life In America.
Ragged and frayed in September's dress,
but withal. there Is a beauty peculiarly Its
botanist strolling over the hills and through
the swamps realizes that this is practically
the end of the flower year AS in the pre-
vious month. the flowers are very largely
composite. The golden rods, the asters and
the suHhowers lend vivid patches of color
to the prospect. There are comparatively
few new flowers to be sought for.
However, there are several, the finding Of
which will be among the calendar events Of
the year. Perchance it is that in the latter
part Of the month your wanderings may
lead you to the retreat Of the most beautiful
of all the fall blossoms, the fringed gentian.
Its color is of the heavens own hue, and
it's delicate beauty is SO elusive as to defy
the most sktllful brush Of the artist Who
can forget the first Introduction to these
floral beauties of the fall meadows? Two
other but less handsome cousins, the stiff
gentian and the closed gentian. also come
this month. Damp places are made beautf-
full by the Jerusalem artichoke, commonly
called the wild sunfiower, whose bright,
cheerful face seems ever smiling a greeting
to the passer-by. Another of September s
fower-foIk robed in blue or violet Is the
smooth or blue aster found in dry soil and
open woods. A familiar little friend with
whom almost every one Is acquainted, the
white heath aster, sometimes called white
rosemary OF farewell summer. Is found in
dry soil everywhere. Not far distant you

lower leaves. The yellow Of the witch haz Il

English Tailors Can Tell Americans at
Sight.

From the London Tailor and Cutter.
There is no mistaking the American when
/; he wears the clothes he brought with him.
He almost always wears a jacket Of the
lounge type. which somehow seems cut with
the special object of making him appear
to have very round and uncommoniy fat
shoulders. The jacket hangs away at the
waist, and this, together with his singular
fondness for straw hats, which, both in
shape and texture, suggest the idea Of a
carving from a corncob. gives a dumpiness
to the figure which is still further accen-
tuated by the closeness of the fit In the
trouser legs
The Frenchman favors fancy vests OF
wonderful elaboration. He wears a frock
coat with short skirts and is fond of a lot
of trimming on the collar and lapel The
coat grips at the waist like belt, and the
skirt springs out like infant crinolIne
over the baggiest part of his very baggy
trousers, which, by the way, come In sud
denly at the foot and look not unlike
knickerbockers which have been left grow
ing too long and have reached TO the ankle
instead or to the knee. His hat is usually
silk one, but IL is fat brimmed and of a
pyram:dal shape, such is tradtionally
supposed to have been once worn by Welsh
women and Iirsh gentlemen of the Kyrle
Daly and Hardress Cregan period. He also
wears an extraordinarily ample black silk
tie, which OF itself would be a sufficiently
Distinguishing feature.
The Germans are more bulky as regards
physique than most of the continentals and
carry themselves with an upr,ghtness which
suggests military training. They are broad
of shoulder and deep OF chest, and they
favor the morning coat suit which English
tailors, IL they are wise. recommend 10
those OF their customers who are stOu.ly
made. The cut of their clothes follows En-
glish lines; in fact. were il not for the prev
aleEce or Prussian blue the dom Nant
color of the material 1t would be difficult
to say in what respect any decided marks
of distinction could be found.
The Danes and Swedes are fond of blue
cloth. and in most of their suits the evi-
dence OF real good, old-fashioned tailoring
Is noticeable. Their garments appear to be
mostly handsewn, and. though the cutting

They had one side of their heads. whis-

OUR FRUITS ABROAD
DEMAND FOR THEM GROWING IN
GERMANY.
Greater Care Should Be Observed in
Packing Them, Says Consul
Mason Of Berlin.

American visitors to Germany" says
Consul General Mason, at Berlin, in a re-
port to the State Department, have been,
until quite recently, accustomed to note
with some surprise how small part fresh
fruits and certain vegetable luxures, like
celery, artichokes, melons and eggplant,
have contributed to the daily food OF a
great majority Of even the weather. class
Of people. Even at the principal hotels
fresh fruits have been, and. indeed, are
still, IL not a rare luxury, at least a very
costly one. The reasons usually ascribed
for this general fact are that the climate
and soil of Germany are not adapted. like
that of France and Italy, to the culture OF
many kinds of fruits. iLuxuries among the
well-to-do generally take the form of meals
and wines. and partly as cause. partly as
result of the general indifference to fruits
farmers and horticulturists have until re-
cent years paid small attention to budding,
grating and improving the quality of dc.
mestic varieties. The common blue plunl
pears and cherries grow naturally and WELL
but apples. peaches, melons and apricots Of
native origin are generally of secord-rate
quality and relatively dear in price.
Taste for American Fruits.
But, beginning with the period Of Ger
many's rapid Industrial development, the
busy years from 1895 to 1900 when the
earnings Of the working classes were not
only constant but steadily augmented, there
was a general and marked improvement in
the condition of the people. Their houses.
furniture, clothing and food were improved
to a degree for which the past afforded no
precedent. and as part of this general ad-
vance there was a notable Increase in the
consumption-and therefore the fmpOrta-
tion-of fresh and preserved fruits. The
taste for them once established, and edu-
Gated by the choice and delicious imported
varieties which have set new standards In
the German market, has proved steady and
persistent, and notwithstanding the tenn
porary decline in Industrial prosperity aud
consequently diminished earnings the fruit
supply and the demand for it continue to
increase. In years Of large apple crops IN
the United States. our country has since
1895 contributed literally to the supply OF
winter apples but aside from this Italy.
France and the Austrian Tyrol are the
chief sources Of fresh fruit imports into
Germany. .
Increased Use Of Canned Fruits.
Among the new institutions of the city
