ing seen that you wished some one to
write receipt for tanning hides with

BUTTON WITH RIGHT HAND.

Attention was drawn by DR.. James
Shaw at the Ambidextral Culture So
ciety to the singular fact that the but
tons on feminine clothes are on the
wrong sldt-or rather, since ladies may
maintain that it is mems buttons which
are wrong, that mems buttons are on
the right side of the wearer, and
women's on the left.
This popularity DR.. Shaw ascribed
not to feminine perversity, but to the
fact that those who set ladies' fashions
were supposed to have maids to dress
them, f whom this position was more
convenient.-London Daily News.

Greenhorns as Inventors.

In 1927 a carpenter OF Sandwich,
Mass, wanting a piece Of glass of a
particular size and shape, conceived
the idea that the molten metal could
+ be pressed into any form, much the
same as lead might be, writes William
Il. Stewart, in the Cosmopolitan. Up
to that time all glassware had been
blown, either off-hand or in a mould
and considerable skill was required
and the process was slow. The glass
, manufacturers laughed at the carpen-
ter, but lie went ahead and built q
press, and now the United States is
the greatest presseG-giasswar coun-
try in the world.
In 1890 a novice in the plate-glass
industry, Henry Fleckner, of Pitts
burg, whose only knowledge of glass
had been acquired in windowglass
factory, invented an annealing ''lehr."
the most important single improve
ment ever introduced in plate glass
manufacture. In three hours by the
lehr the same work is done which
under the old kiln system required
three days. In four years the impor-
tation of foreign crown and plate
glass into the United States fell in
value from 100000 to 100000.
About the same year Philip Argo-
bast, of Pittsburg, also novice in
the glass-making, invented a process
by which bottles and jars may be
made entirely by machinery, the
costly blow-over process being avoided
and the expense of bottle-making re-
duced one-half. The result has been
that more bottles and jars are used in
a month now than in twelve months
ten years ago.

Fruit Trees ON Terraced Land.

w. L. Mcclure, Grigsby, Ark
When land is terraced, where isl the
usual or best place to plant fruit trees?
Answer-It is usual to plant one row
of trees about six feet above the lower
edge of the terrace. Plant a row about
ten feet below the upper edge of the
same terrace. Then fill in with such
number of rows as the intervening
space will permit. If there be too much
space for one row and not enough for
two rows in the included space, crowd
the trees a little closer in the row. If
one end of the terrace is considerably
narrower than the other, make the in
terror rows of trees correspondingly
narrower where the terrace is narrow
or and widen the space between them
i'll the rows. In this way yor may ap-
proximate an equal space for each
tree, although the trees may be at ir-
regular distances along the rows and
the rows of varying widths.-The Con.
stitution.

WHAT WOMEN SUICIDES WEAR

Women who are driven to suicide
presumably lose most of their ambi-
ton before taking the fatal plunge, but
there is one feminine trait that they
retain to the end, namely, pride in
clothes.
Seldom" said a doctor whose posi-
ton has required him to perform post
norton services for many of these un-
fortunates, "have l seen a woman who
did not go to her death as well dressed
as her circumstances would allow. The
published reports of these tragedies
confirm my observation. Read in the
papers the account of q suicide, and
nine times out of ten it will wind up
by saying the woman was well
dressed or, at the least, 'her clothing
was neat and clean
"Unless these women belong to the
dregs they are found dressed in the
silk skirt and silk waist which have
become the inevitable garb of the sui
eide of moderate means. At the last
the true feminine instinct seems to re-
assert itself, and, although the woman
will not be here to read the account
of the tragedy, she wants to die in the
blessed satisfaction that she will be
written up as we'll dressed member
of society. "-Chicago Tribune

Run Down Lands

The great inducement for llen to buy
and develop the productiveness Of the
rundown lands Of the South Is the
fact that by wise management these
lands can be made to pay for their
Improvement as they are built up.
They become unproductiye through a
long course of bad trea tment, and they
are not going to be suddenly made fer

date vast expenditure i'll green ma

COW peas, will find that lime does not
help them. as it does other legumes.
He must get the peas first by the aid
of acid phosphate and potash If on

on a clay loan. He will find, too. that
the pulverized rock will give very lit
tie return at once on the peas, and that
for immediate results he had better
use the dissolved rock. Thus, having
got a good growth of peas. he will be
very unwise to turn them under
green, for he will run the risk of dam
aging his land more than helping it,
and will have cut short the work the
peas would do for him, as the larger
part of their nitrogen gathering is
done in the later stages of their
growth. Then, too, the burying Of
large growth is 4 poor preparation for
fall grain. which needs we'll COM

In short our worn lands have still

is WOMAN WORKER A FAILURE;

There seemG to be current some mis-
understandings of the remarkable ar
ticle, "The Truth About Women in
Industry" contributed by Mrs. Flora
Mcdonald Thompson to the May num-
Der of the North American Review.
Nobody knows better than Mrs.
Thompson, who herself is successful
Journalist, that it would be absurd to
describe every woman who under
takes to support herself by mental and
physical work as a failure. No such
term would be applicable to George
Sand, Rosa Bonheur or George Eliot.
Neither would Mrs. Thompson dream
of asserting that a woman who has
neither a father, husband nor a
brother to support her should be de-
barred from attempting to earn a live
lihood in Gny field of industry. She
is not writing However, from n SYM
pathetic or humanitarian viewpoint
There seems to be conclusive evil
dence that the entrance of woman into

economical success; and that, for wOm-
an herself, it has had mischievous

PUMPS THE SHOE.

The adaptation of mems dancing
pumps for womens wear last winter
proved them to be such mart-looking
shoes that they have grown to be I'M
mensely popular. One of the chief
reasons for this is that the shoes have
to be worn in the smallest possible
sizes to enable them to be kept on the
feet in comfort, and any excuse for
wearing small shoes is eagerly seized
upon by women. The pumps are made
in tan, white, green, brown and the
new shade that matches linen gowns.

ONE woMAN's CLAIM TO FAME.

of the late Ben Glover, a Congressman
from the Third District. Mrs. Glover
died last Wednesday. She is accorded
the honor of having selected the name
N'Populist" which was taken by the
Peoples party. But more interesting
is the statement that when her hus-

GOWNS FOR STREET WEAR.

Colored linens are very fashionable
this year. They are made in blouse
waists and skirts, and in the most fan
tastic little jackets with skirts to
match-to be worn over the thinnest
of waists of muslin or batiste or lace;
or so arranged that they can be worn
with what used to be known as chemi-
settles of lace or muslin or batiste. All
skirts for this style of gown should be
made short, no matter what the ma
terial may be.
Dark muslins are really the most
muslins look shabby and become
soiled so quickly. However, there are
shades of gray that are charmingly
dainty, proving the exception to the
rule, and some in light tan; but as
rule the dark colors are infinitely
smarter, and they should not be
trimmed with white lace-that is, on
the skirts. A sensible fashion Of this
year is that Of making skirts that re-
quire no trimming excepting the ma
terial itself, the cordings, shirrings,
tucks and pleats giving all the contrast
needed. White lace in collars and cuffs
is always effective and becoming, and
these can be taken out, laundered and
replaced; but white lace or embroidery
on skirts soon become soiled and lozes
its freshness, and then the whole gown
is shabby.-Harper's Bazaar.
