The French woman never wears
her street dresses in the house, never
lounges in her COED frocfs. She
knows they Will lose their >hapeIiness
if she does Instead she Las dainty

Comfortable and dainty little gar

Of this season are peculiarly adapted
To it. The shirfed yoke across the

The all White craze has extended
to the province Of the neglig and no
boadoir gown is considered quite so

SEWER CONFERENCE.

Members of the Finance and Street
and Water Boards held conference yes
terday afternoon to discuss the proposed
new Ravine road and Jackson avenue
sewers. All that was done, however,
was to have the law looked up for au-
thority to issue bonds to raise the money
to construct the two sewers, which are
badly needed. The big six-inch pipe
down Ravine road, that runs to the foot
of Thirteenth street, is not large enough
to drain the section of the Heights that
empties into it. 1t is proposed to build
an additional sewer from the foot Of the
Hill down Ravine avenue and through
some street, not yet decided upon, to the
river.
The present sewer in jackson avenue
will have toAbe practically reconstructed.
It is proposed to also run an iron pipe
from Fairmounnt avenue, up Park street
and down GGrand, to empty into the
Mill Creek sewer.

Nothing is now more universally ac-
cepted than the fact that the peach is
an improved variety of the almond.
The almond has thin shell around
the stone, which splits open and shows
the stone when mature. This outer
skin has simply become Aeshy in the
peach, SO that it is all that gives 1t its
specific character. 1t seems now clear
from investigation In the history Of
ancient Babylon that in their gardens,
nearly 1000 years age, the peach was
cultivated then as it is now.
1t must have been many years before
this that the peach was improved from
the almond, and this fact goes to show
the great antiquity OF the fruit. Pos
sibly gardening in some respects, at
least SO far as it relates to many Of
our cultivated fruits, was as far ad-
yaneed 5000 or 5000 or perhaps 10000
years back as it is today
PhRnicians, many thousands of years
ago, as is proved by the records, had in
their gardens almonds, apricots, ba-
nanas, citrons, figs, grapes, olives,
peaches, pomegranates, and even sugar
cane was in extensive cultivation. Ger
tainly this shows how far advanced
these nations were In garden cultuYe
many years ago.
