Condition of Crops.

The Weather Bureau Tuesday issued
the following weekly summary of crop
conditions:
In the districts cast of the Rocky Noun
tains duriug the week ended April 18th
the temperature has been highly favora-
BILE for growth of vegetation, but farm
work was very generally retarded by
rains in the Lake region, central valleys,
and Atlantic coast districts, while COM
plants of lack of moisture are received
from portions of the Central and West
Gulf States. In the central and northern
Rocky Mountain districts and on the
North Pacific coast the season is very
backward, and Washington and Oregon
have suffered from cold, wet weather. In
California the conditions have been gen.
orally favorable, with the exception of
some damage by frost.
Corn planting is in progress as far
North as Kansas, Southern Missouri,
Tennessee, and North Carolina; farther
South planting is we'll advanced, and is
completed in some sections.
The condition of winter wheat is gen.
orally excellent, and it has made splendid
progress since the first of the month in
the Upper Ohio Valley, however, the
freeze of the 4th and 9Th caused some in
jury. On the whole, the condition of the
crop in the winter wheat belt east of the
Rocky Mountains is more promising than
for years. In California the outlook is
also promising, but in Oregon and Wash
ington the condition of the crop is less
favorable, especially in the last named
State, where about one thiad of the acre
age will be resOwn.
Tobacco plants are plentiful and gen
orally growing we'll, though late in Ken
lucky. Transplanting has begun in the
Carolinas
By the close Of March, which was a
very mild month, all fruits were unusual
ly far advanced. From the 4th to the
9th of April the whole country east Of the
Mississippi River, including Tennessee
and the Northern portion of the South
Atlantic States experienced temperatures
below freezing, stations in the more
northerly districts reporting temperatures
from six to eighteen degrees below freez-
ing. The reports now indicate that many
varieties of fruit have suffered severely,
more particularly peaches. In Califor-
MIA, while some damage has been done by
frost, the outlook is favorable on the
North Pacific coast the season is so back
ward that fruit has not been exposed to
injury.

Women, as a class, certainly have it
rubbed into them these days. They are
silly, they are frivolous. they are eX-
travagant, they are this, that and the
other. One would think that every
thing that wasn't nice that could be
said about a woman had been said.
But now comes a man-always a man
who says that women don't think.
This man is a lecturer, whose name is
not given, and he says:
The trouble with most of us is that
we simply don't think. We let our
minds wander about aimlessly over
past, present and future in a fashion
that, were it demonstrable to the eye,
would appear much as do the shamb-
ling, revolving movements of an idiots
limbs.
Especially is this true of women"
continued the speaker, relentlessly,
though more than half of the audi
ence were of feminine persuasion. IF
the mentality Of the majority Of women
could be pictured in process, there
wouldn't be one straight clear-cut line
iii the whole hazy mass. Thought is
power. No material thing of circum-
stance can long withstand the persist
ent, concentrated force of intelligently
directed thought, ard the reason We
don't get anywhere in our lives is that
shambhng and leaky.
AT thestiIlle no one made any audible
protestation, but one listener, and, quite
naturally a woman, determined to put
these sweeping statements to test,
and she fell into way of asking feml-
nine friends whom she met on the
street and elsewhere of what they
We're thinking. Most of them required
several minutes to collect their
thOuphtS" TO remember"
Out of eighty-fiye thus questioned,
twenty-seven were thinking what
good, or bad, or Indifferent time they
had on such and such an occasion;
nineteen were wondering" what they
would do if such a thing would hap
pen the minds of tWenty-one were oc-
Cupied with shopping, and the remain
ing eighteen were not thinking about
anything"
Out of ten men questioned two were
planning deal" one was studying
how to get even" with some one who
had ''got the better of him." and the
rest answered on an average with the
women Then the statistically inclined
member of the audience compared
notes with the lecturer, who said:
"And then people complain that fate
is, against them, that. they can't over
come circumstances, and things are I'M
evenly divided in this world Why, they
are scattering with their brains what
their hands may build. They are car
rying their earnings-in "a pocket full of
holes. OF every accomplished fact
there must first be mental concep-
ton, as the brick and mortar house is
first built in the architects brain, and
il is not difficult to see why people &C
complish so little when practically they
think - definite, clear, constructive
tlfinking-not at all. Why, if half even
of the women in the world would do
some determined creative thinking the
progress of the next twenty-five years
would eclipse the last century or two"

Many New Workers right in the
heart Of the city make their own but

churns of q size for working two or
three quarts of cream at a time are
sold by the dealers.
A good proportion of city jewellers
have fresh butter made two or three
times a week from the milk brought
from their own farms and country
places. Others get the cream from
milk dealers. and make only the butter
for immediate table use, depending on

purposes.

The latest churns for home use are of

the needs of a goodsized family Of

earthenware churns of English make,

Flower culture for charitable pur-
poses is growing to be quite the

frames of Russian violets, window
boxes, rooms, whole Conservatives
full of bulbs and plants, now receive
more or less of the personal care of
the fair philanthropist, and at Christ
mas or Easter or during Lenten days
are displayed for sale among the
amateur florists friends. Margaret
DeIand has for years had a February
sale of daffodils in her Boston home,
the plants having been raised by her
own care, and the money is devoted
to her favorite children's charity.

A Delicious Celery Salad.

A good celery salad to serve with
boned turkey is made in the proper
ton of two heads of celery, large and
white, or three smaller ones Trim
the roots nicely and pare off the green
stalks. Cut the celery into short
shreds. Wash it thoroughly in ice
water and lift it up with the hands.
Drain in coarse linen cloth to abb
sorb the moisture. When well drain
ed, season it with a tablespoonful of
salt and half a teaspoonful of white
pepper, one and a half salad spoon
fuls of vinegar and the same amount
of salad oil. The amount of this cell
cry to be served depends upon the
amount of the boned turkey or chick
en- to be served A single boned tur-
key sliced will be sufficient to serve
two dozen people at a picnic, and four
or five times as much celery salad as
here given will be necessary to serve
with it. The majority of people will
prefer three tablespoonfuls of mayon-
naise dressing to every two or three
heads of celery cut as described, in
stead of the French dressing given
herewith.

And city dwellers who love fresh
butter do not think 1t extravagant to
make it even from the cream of bought
milk because of the many uses the
milk can be put to after the cream has

tards and many desserts and delicacies
can be made from it, and the potcheese

groups of workers along the same gen
eral line.

Cooperative housekeeping is being
carried on very satisfactorily in On
tario, California, by cooperative
family club. A dozen families of the
representative citizens of the place
have united, rented twostory private
residence and established a joint
housekeeping arrangement. Four en-
ployes, including a stewardess, do the
work of the establishment, supplying
meals. to the forty-three persons who
make up the dozen families. Their
united wages amount to about $3.50 a
month, as against the $50 and $35 a
month which good cooks and general
houseworkerS in the place dema4d, and
which each family has heretofore been
obliged to pay when it was possible to
secure them. Each family has its own
table in the cooperative house with
individual equipment of linen, silver
and decoration. Every month the ex-
penses are carefully audited by the
Clubs committee and the amount as
sessed pro rata among the club mem
bers, children proportionately accord
ing to their ages. Eleven cents per
meal per person is the average cost,
the best of food being provided. The
women of the club take turns in max
ing out the menu, and in this way the
tastes of each family are consulted.
The undertaking is very similar 10 that
of -Longwood, near Chicago, and others
that have been tried in other places.
Several of them have existed long
enough to demonstrate their use and
practicability. 1t is probable that
these enterprises are the solution OF
the ant-of-servant question, which
is particularly serious and difficult in
small communities

American Piazzas.

About the homes of no other people
do we find such great, wide, rooted
over platforms as those which are
seen in the average American coun-
try house, says a well known archi-
tect. In England there is seldom
more than little porch by the en-
trance doors. The Piazza, however,
