A UnefuI Feature.

Two New York women went apart
ment hunting and were pleasantly sur
prised to find at the end of their first
days search an apartment which
seemed to be exactly suited to their
needs. 1t was new, desirably situated
and inexpensive - three rooms and
bath, said the janitress, all with out
side exposure. The prospective ten
ants walked through the rooms, ex-
amining every feature.
But where is the bathroom?" they
inquired.
The janitress pointed to an alcOve
which was furnished with gayly color
ed hangings and an awkward looking
divan covered with pillows.
"There it is" she explained. my
last tenants said it was in the way, so
they made a cOzy corner out of 1t. OF

He FIOurished In France Three Cen
turtles Ago.
The ladies' tailor does not belong to
this century or to the last; 300 years
back he tiOurished in France. The
court beauties employed him during
the reign of the last Of the ValOis.
Nine. de Sevigne gives an elaborate de-
scriptiOn in one of her letters of q
gown made for Nine. de MOntespan
and mentions the name of the tailor
Langlee, the son of one of the serv-
ants in the household of Anne of Aus
tria. Indeed, women were not allowed
in those days to enter into competition
with men in the production of outer
garments. even for their own sex. 1t
was Louis XIV. who looked favOrably
on woman's work for her own sex
and granted letters patent to the semp-
stresses to form themselves into cor
pOration, though it was not made easy
for them, and they only, after all,
made up ladies' own materials, even
as far back as that. By the aid of the
pOupees which went the round of sOci-
ETY. exhibiting the passing modes LIE
Roy found favor with the bellies in
the beginning of the seventeenth cen
tury, and when we see, as we may
do now at the Crystal palace, even the
silk bodices that were made then we
cannot but very much wonder that
they were more fitted for a tailor S

Rocbefort Cheese.

Rochefort, that most individual men,
ber of the cheese family, gains its
distinction and its flavor by ripening
six months in a cave in the mountains
near the little village of Rochefort, in
southern France. Part of process which
it undergoes is the pricking full of lit
tie holes, into which the air of the
cave penetrates. This air remains of
the same temperature the year round.
Only sleeps milk is used for making

by many farmers to the latter. AS the
soy bean is tender, it is not usually
planted till settled weather. the last of
May or first of June; some eastern
Kansas farmers say any time before
July as profitable crop after wheat or
oats.
The soy bean is valuable for green
manuring and for hay and is one of the
best of the legumes for the silO. The
beans, fed either in the straw or when
thrashed are good food for all kinds
Of animals, keeping them in thrifty
condition and with glossy coats. In
some localities the entire plant is har-
vested in the field by hogs and cows
eating it to the ground.
The crop is cultivated like corn, the
seed being sOwn in drills at the rate of
One-half to one bushel per acre.
1t is claimed that the yield of crops
of all kinds is increased where they
follow soy beans, wheat having shown
in large fields an increase Of five bush
els per acre when following soy beans
over that grown on adjoining land thai
had not been in beans. This increase
was shown where soy beans bearing
no tubefcles were grown.

terra that live in tubercles growing
upon the roots are present they TAX

The railroad company should have
