When 1t was more fashionable to
print lists of party guests than 1t is

women were so sensitive, but recently
when a hostess paid her social debts by
a series Of parties, but invited no one
to whom she was not indebted, one lady
who was thus left out, remarked: well,
I think Mrs. s. is very particular and
I shall see that she is one of the very

thus the merry war is waged.

A splendid example of what agricultu-
raj education is doing for the young men
OF our State, was given at the last regu-
lar meeting of the Rural Science Club of
the A. and NJ College, Wednesday night
This is the students club, and they are
making 1T a great success. Primrose
Hall. where the meetings are held twice
every month, was packed. There were
five interesting papers read, all of a
thoroughly practical nature, dealing di-
rectly with problems which every farm
er of our State must meet.
Mr.. r. r. Smith in a paper on farm
manures gave the conditions which exist,
fertility can be supplied, without buying
expensive commercial fertilizers He
dwelt especially on the value of legum-
inous crops.
Mr.. NJ. H. Chesboro read an inter-
esting paper on the home garden. He
made it plain that more taste and care
should be given to the appearance as
well as usefulness of our gardens. There
is no reason why an attractive hedge
should not take the place of the rotten
plank fence, or why the vines should
not be trained on pretty trellises.
Mr.. A. L. Hill gave an account or the
development of the milk test and of how
much Importance it is to all farmers to
enable them to prove the richness and
value of their milk.
Mr.. w. w. Finley presented an inter-
esting paper on the live stock problems
of our State. specially urging a higher
standard IN breeding and care of live
stock, and the use of pure brer animals
instead of the Improbable scrubs.
Mr.. VIM. Kerr gave the great impor-
tance and value of crimson clover, vetch
and alfalfa as forage crops in the South.
He described the best methods of plant
ing, the incubation of the soil with nitri-
flying bacteria and many of the conditions
effecting their growth

A wHIRL OF SNOW AND WIND.
New York Struck by Storm That Interferes
With Her Business.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Dec. 5.--A heavy wind
storm, accompanied by rain and later by
snow, struck New York today and for
time seriously interfered with all rail-
road and steamship traffic, as well as
with business in general. Surface car
lines the elevated railroads, and all ferry
boats were compelled to abandon their
schedules and run as best the could
part of the Tihr avenue elevated line was
tied up completely, and the Sixth and
Ninth avenue trains were badly delayed.
The tie-up was so severe that even the
Stock Exchange began the day with an
extremely small attendance. Toward noon
the snow ceased to fall, but the wind
continued high and it became much cold
er. The maximum velocity of the wind
was As miles an hour.
Telegraph service was much hampered
by the storm. Both the Western Union
and Postal companies reported that
their systems had been shaken up. The
worst condition fo rthe telegraph COM
panies were in New England and in the
Hudson valley although business to
the South was somewhat delayed.
Dispatches from up the State showed
that the storm was severe in the coun-
try districts and that the snowfall in
the interior was much heavier than in
this city.

himself, was shot twice. but had quite
recovered when he arrived.
