THE GLASS OF FASHION.

Little gun metal buttons are attrac-
tive on dark waists.
The new shaped toques with brims
turning up on each side are to be ex-
tremely fashionable.
Collars of silk and lace are dainty In
the extreme and are being chosen for
all sorts of occasions. 1t is a new idea
to make collar of tucked white taf-
feta and trim it with ecru lace.
a fanciful belt just now making its
appearance has the buckle at one side
of the waist instead of directly in
front. Leather or corded satin Is the
material most frequently chosen.
The woman who wears black under
wear. or at least petticoats, with her
black gowns buys the little underpetti-
coats in soft, light India silk, trimmed
with black lace. They add but little to
the circumference of the wearer, which
is one of their greatest charms.
A modsh hat that is attracting atten-
ton this season is made up of tiny
feathers pasted together on a stiff
foundation. These hats are Of one
color or shade in a variety of tints.
Silks and soft ribbons make up the
trimmings for such hats.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Keep an eye to the future shape or
the tree and timely remove small, need
less crossing or crooked limbs.
Runners on grapevines should be cut
off during the growing season If the
vine is a strong grower. If not, simply
rub Off portion of the buds.
There is no plant that enjoys plenty
Of good manure more than the rose.
Lack Of it will always result in scrag-
gy plants and miserable blooms.
Old apple and other fruit trees are
often improved by cutting out the
branches in the center, where they are
apt to crowd one another too much.
There are many Towering shrubs
that are readily propagated by cut
tings. Others send up suckers or
sprouts from the roots that may be
taken out and set out.
If a quarter of an acre or more can
be given to the fruit garden. plant ev-
arything In long rows, leaving head
lands M each end. Then use the horse
IN cultivating.

RENOVATED POTATOES.
How Old Ones Are Made to Look Lik e
Tubers Just From the Ground.


Tubers Just From the Ground.
1t is in California, where potatoes are
new anywhere from April to July, that
this industry is possible and flourishes.
The manufacturing gardener is an en-
terprislng genius Of foreign extraction,
generally Portuguese, italian or China
man, and he makes the most of his OPP
portunites. BY his private process Of
making new potatoes he gets Mt least
two months advance on the market
in many places and thereby reaps Il
profit many times above what the le-
gitimate natural product would bring
him. The extent of this business must
be somewhat gigantic, for l have seen
these new made potatoes in all the
markets from Denver to Albuquerque
and Salt Lake City to Cape Nome. The
commission merchants and wholesale
dealers must certainly know of and
abet the fraud or the gardener could
not market his wares. The average re-
tail merchant is not aware of the de-
deals out to his customers in all inno-
cence the fraudulent new potato.
The method of their manufacture is
unique, and it is done as follows: Late
in the season. after other crops are out
of the way, the gardener plants crop
of.late and good keeping potatoes. The
time has been chosen from experience
and is opportune for yield of small
potatoes before the frosts of winter
come down upon the gardeners truck
patch. These potatoes are dug and
buried in heaps in the open field and
left until spring opens and the new
potato season arrives. At the proper
time the heaps are opened and the po-
tatoes sorted according to sizes. In the
meantime large kettle or vat is set
In the field adjacent to the potato heaps
and made ready by filling with water
and adding sufficient I've to effectually
curl the skin Of the potato when dipped
into the boiling solution. A crane and
metal basket are rugged so that the
dipping can be done eXpedtously, and
the way that new potatoes are turned
out is astonishing. The effect of dip
ping any potato, no matter how old
into this boiling lye solution Is to crack
and curl the skin, and at the same time
1t hardens or makes the potato much
firmer, so that its resemblance to n new
potato is so near that ii would be hard
to pick out the impostor from appear
ances alone from basket of the genu-
inc article. After dipping the potatoes
are rinsed in another vat and spread
out to dry in the sun and cure into per-
feet new potatoes, and the work ID
complete
The only way that you can tell the
fraudulent new potato is to cut one
open and notice its appearance careful
1y from circumference to center. For
a short distance in from the skin OF
the made potato you will ii you look
closely see "A yellowish white line of
semicoolied and watery appearance. If
this test is not conclusive, put one or
two into some cold water and let them
come to boil and you will notice a
faint I've odor, and the water that COW
ers them will have a slippery, alkaline
feel that any housewife cannot mis-
take.-Popular Science Monthly.

MATS GOOD Fight

New York, June ga cable to ths
Evening Journal from London says:
Rumor has II here that the boxing
tournament at the National Sporting
Club was augmented by a bout not
on the program, but of stellar attrac-
ton. The principals were Nat Good
win, the actor. and Louis Cohn. a Lon
den bookmaker. Goodwin and COIN
had viewed the Ryan and Erne fights
and differed materially as to the mer-
its of the encounters. German. who
was Ryan's opponent. appeared to
Goodwin as a mere duffer. and he did
not hesitate to voice his opinion. Cohn.
on the other hand. could see nothing
but science in Germans abilities and
quickly entered into a wordy tiff with
the actor. why, can lick him my
self" said Goodwin. COhn retorted that
he could not even whip him.
The sporting proclivities OF both
men were aroused and a match was
made there and then for GlOO a side.
The party Immediately adjourned to
the ring. Pugilist Tommy West held
the watch for Goodwin. The bout open
ed in whirlwind style. with Goodwin
the aggressor. He easily showed him
self to be COINS superior with tho
gloves and was given the decision.
