Shortage Reported in the Production o
Vegetable Ivory.

SogetuOAo ASOVys
The production of vegetable ivory
during the past season has been very
small and very heavy purchases of
the available supply have been made
by Germany, the result Of the two
combined influences being that the
price Of this product has been ad-'
vanced from twenty five to thirty per
cent during the last ninety days.
Though perhaps not one person in a
thousand is aware of the fact, nearly
every man and boy in the United

ivory, as the greater part Of the coat
and vest button supply of the world
Is made from this product. The nuts
from which 1t Is made grow wild in
the forests Of Colombia and Ecuador
and are imported into the United
States in quantities varying from
100000 to 100000 pounds a year.
Each pound makes several hundred
gross Of buttons, which are dyed to
match the color Of the cloth with
which they are to be used.
The nuts grow upon tree somewhat
similar to the palm, the fruit growing
In pod, larger than cocoanut. which
contains large number Of nuts, from
the milky inside Of which is produced
the hard substance used in making
buttons. The nuts are gathered by the
South American Indians and taken in
boats to the nearest transportation
point. The market price here is from
two and half to four and q half
cents pr und.

Ernnklin,R Idea of Nero.

Seven-year-old Franklin is one Of
those bright and alert youngsters
whose fathers would like to tell all
about them If they dared, but who
fear the wrath of their fellows and
hold their peace. Franklin goes daily
to a Camden IN. j. school with his
older sister, who Is in the eighth grade
and knows a lot about ancient history
and things which make wonderful
stories for the lad to hear. She was
telling him the other day all about
wicked Nero, who fiddled while Rome
burned, and the boy was duly inn
pressed. At dinner that night. in order
to discover whether the knowledge
impaired had taken root, tie sister
asked the boy:
"Who did tell you about to-day?"
"Nero," readily replied the young
learner.
"Who was hey" was the next ques.
ton.
There was a bit Of hesitation, but
finally tho answer came out with .
twinkle:
"Oh, he was bird"
"Well, what did he doT
"Ate worms" was the unexpected
reply, which gave the tableful Of din
ers something of a shiver.-Philadel.

Newspaers in Slot Machines.

1t is said that there is no city In the
world where there is such lack or
newspaper readers at Berlin. The rea-
son is said to be found in the fact that
the papers are sold at such low sub
scription rate that there is little profit
in the business for the vendor. The
newspaper publication companies have
been long struggling with the problem
of getting the papers on the street, and
have Investigated the merits of hun
dreds of schemes and suggestions for
the purpose. The slot machine, which
was at first thought to be especially
fitted for the business, was looked into
and found to be very unreliable in
handling papers, but recently it is an
nounced that the machines have been
brought to such state of perfection
that they have been adopted by sew
eral Berlin companies, and now there
are 200 of them scattered about the
streets of the city 1t is said that they
are quite generally used.

POTATOES NEED SPRAYING.


No one can now afford to raise pota.
toes without the use Of the bordeaux
mixture and spray pump; we always
spray twice and sometimes four times
according to the season. We use q
common force pump set in a kerosene
barrel mounted on the front wheels
Of lumber wagon, which requires
two men to handle, one to drive the
horse and the pump" and the other
to handle the hose. This outfit will
spray from three to four acres the
first time when the tops are small,
and from two to three acres after the
tops are full grown. But in order to
be effective the spraying must be done
early as the mixture is a preventative
and not cure for the blight. We in
variably mix paris green with the Dor
deaux mixture for the first application
to destroy the bugs.
This method of cultivating the po.
tatO crop l have adopted after years
of experiments in all kinds Of soil and
under a great variety of climatic condi.
tons. But in order to be successful ii
must be thoroughly done in every par.
ticular, the ridges must be straight
and even and Of uniform depth, and
the narrowing both bofopa- and flor
planting must be done at the proper
times, in order to destroy the weeds
and encourage the growth Of the
plants.
This will make all difference between
success and failure. but if all the con-
ditions are observed 1t is astonishing
at how small cost per bushel large
crop of potatoes can be raised besides
putting the soil in first-class condition
for succeeding crops.-George Att
in The American Clltivator.

SILK GOWNS IN FASHION.

Taffeta gowns are included In the
summer outfit. and although taffeta is
not cool fabric, there are some quail
ties quite possible even for warm
weather, and the unlined lace yoke
and elbow sleeves make a great diff
ference. All the old-fashioned bright
shades of color are fashionable-apple
green, sky blue, rose pink, and cherry
red such as were in. style SO many
many years ago-and are made up in
many of the same styles. The full
skirts pleated, tucked, or gathered at
the sides and back, with tucks and
ruchings are worn with full baby
waists. Lace or ruche trimmed taffeta
fichus or mantillas-or odd shapeless
little unlined coats that do not come to
the walst.line and have wide, open
sleeves, are worn over lace or he,
blouse waists.-A. 4. Ashmore, In Har'

BLUE PREVAILING COLOR IN
WOMEN'S DRESSES.

"The prevailing color in. women's
dresses this year will be blue" said
James w. Partridge, representing a
large dressmaking establishment In
Chicago. "Parsifal" blue will be the
prevailing shade, but other shades will
not be discarded just because the new
shade is the badge Of fashion. Nearly
every woman now wears a bit of blue
somewhere about her costume, and
generally in sight So far as l have
been able to discover, blue is the pop
ular color with the women this year.
Several interested persons in Chicago
have made an investigation to see
whether or not the contention that
blue is the most popular color with
women was trueS and tnis was what
they found by watching those walking
in State street, between Randolph and
Washington streets: Out Of 1OS women
who passed 76 were dressed in blue;
between Madison and Washington
streets, 40 out of 2O6 were decorated
with the color, and between Madison
and Monroe streets, IS out Of 1O3 dis
played the pretty color. If this isn't
conclusive PROOF, L DOM Know What
is."-Milwaukee Sentinel.

THE CHARM OF WOMEN.

In George MoOre's truly fascinating
"reminiscences called Moods and Mem.
cries." in Lippincotts Magazine for
July, he writes 0s follows:
"And now In the pleasant torpor OF
digestion my brain becomes strangely
clear, and through strange lucidity
of mind memories RISE memories Of
weeks spent amid the old stairways
and courtyards of Dieppe, memories
of a summer wearing itself away in
the quiet valley of Brittany, memories
Of gables and their projecting shadows,
memories OF stiffness falling on DESC
late lands. All the griefs and failures
Of those distant years l feel again and
am interested, am touched-how pa
thetic life Is to look back upon. Men,
cries of women? OF, course. The
charm of thin, blond women, pale, per-
verse eyes, the CLEAN Of fawn-colored
hair, and haunting odor Of heliotrope,
deception alone yhASe AfEXeFs.e ey yes
when they were children. In draw
ing-room Of long ago, stiff and middle.
class, Notwithstanding the crowns
placed over the tall portraits, I see a
picture of two children. Both are fair,
but she is fairer than corn, and in her
pale eyes and thinly curved lips there
is mixed expression Of yearning and
restlessness; as the child was so is the
woman, and Georgette has lived to
paper one entire wall of her bedroom
with the trophies won in the battle
fields Of ardently danced cotilons
The other child is of stricter nature,
and even now her slightly darker ring
lets are less fancifully, and looking
through her pensive eyes 1t is as easy
to predict children for her as cotillon
favors for the other. In these hours
Of smiling melancholy We remember
those who deceived us, those who
made us suffer, and in hours like these,
faces, fragments Of faces, rise out Of
the past, the line Of bent neck, the
wilderness of hand, but never the
eyes-they are always avertcd."

BY the use of drain tile there will be
no unsightly open bitches, and the
field can be cultivated as easily as any
other. If the land is not very wet the
cost Of drainage will be but little, and
such land will be just as valuable for
pasture as before, with the added adj.
vantage Of being adapted to a greater
variety Of grasses than formerly. 1t
can then also come under the regular
crop rotation. If plot has been too
wet to use for ordinary crops it will
also be too wet for grass some years,
and when drained it will produce green
food earlier in the spring and later iu

FOR GLOVES AND Wells.

The best place to keep gloves and
wells is shallow drawer devoted en-
tirely to those articles, and fitted with
sachets. Inexpensive sachets may be
made of fine cheesecloth or figured
sl9teH"fw0 layers Of cotton. Sandal
wood-the pure ground wood that may
be purchased at Japanese store-is
one of ,le most lasting.
Two such sachets may be made, each
the size of the drawer and each having
strips of narrow ribbon going across
from side to side, caught at intervals
to the sachet. Under these ribbons
the wells and gloves may be slipped
and held gently but firmly in place.
The lower sachet should be used for
the wells and gloves used comparative
ly seldom, and the upper sachet de.
voted to walking and driving gloves
and heavy chiffon wells. OF course, II
the dra,'er is deep, any number OF
shallow sachets may be made, and one
for stocks and ties is useful in keeping
Them from being mussed.-New York

About the Human Ear.

naturalist, ARE erect and comely. the
human ear is crumpled. crushed and
flattened 1t Is mans intelligence
that is responsible for this deformity
of his ear.
MANS brain, you see, has made his
head topheavy. An animals neck
alone furnishes enough to support in

MAN, I have no doubt had an erect.

But his head, with it's developing BRAIN
outgrew his neck's power to support it.
Thence came the head rest or pillow,
with its consequent crushing and
crumpliing Of the ear. and thence
came the ear of todav--a deformity
which, beng universal. is not deemed
a deformity at all."-New York Even
