It now turns out that the Spencer
seedless apple, so far as its being a
new and valuable production is con-
cerned, is an entire fake, and it would
appear that the plan is more of a stock
and bond selling proposition than a
nursery stock raising one, The seed
less and coreless apple is almost as old
as history. Pliny, the Roman natural
ist, described it two thousand years
ago. Hundreds Of references appear in
the books of horticulturists about this
freak, the whole story having been de-
scribed by Professor Bailey of Cornell
about fifteen years ago. The bad faith
of the Spencer apple people is shown
in their circulating partial quotation
from Professor Bailey written about
the seadless apple years ago, and hav-
ing no reference to the so-called Spen-
Ger seedlesS apple.
The reason now appears for the care
full educational work done among the
newspapers last year. The Spencer
Seedless Apple Company of New York
has been organized with alleged nur-
series in Niagara County, has issued
magnificent catalogue with a full col
ored lithograph Of the Spencer seed
less apple" and also showing cross sec
tions of the apple with no semblance of
core or seed.

most to the skies. The truth is, that
some of the most conservative papers
were successfully roped in and uncon-
sciously published articles specially
written for them by the propagandists
themselves, and these very papers are
now quoted in the catalogues distrib-

A Pleasing Note.

While blow the wintry breezes now
And chafe the barren branch and bough,
Beneath the snow
The pansies grow
And wait the south winds tender sough.
In empty fields the grass lies dead,
It rustles to the rabbits tread:
But by and by
The fields will lie
With tender verdure overspread.
Down by the rivers icy brink
No longer do the swallows drink;
The skaters shout
Is ringing out,
And merrily the runners cliuk.
The snow birds twitter in the trees
And gobble up the crumbs with ease
That out you throw
Upon the snow;
You wonder that they do not freeze
Another sound comes now and then;
It's music in the ears of men;
1t hints Of cheer
This time of year.
That cackle of the laying hen.

Brain Workers.

Brain workers suffer from headache because they over-tax and exhaust the brain nerves.
 Tired, irritated, turbulent brain nerves throb and ache; ]; this weakens the brain power, and robs the memory.
 Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills bring tranquility to the ex- cited nerves and stop the pain.
 If not relieved, this nerve disturbance is frequently ex- tended to the stomach, causing nausea, vomiting-sick head ache.
 Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills are convenient to take-just a little tablet, that in a few mo- ments relieves the pain; they leave no disagreeable after effects, as they contain no opium, morphine, cocaine or chloral in any form.
 "From personal experience T. can testify that Dr. Miles Anti- Pain Pills are a most excellent remedy for head ache and neuralgia. I have been great sufferer from both diseases for the past three years. A friend who had also suffered from neuralgia handed me some of the Anti-Pain Pills. I took them and they gave me almost instant relief. Since then I have package at home, and another at the office. and they never fail to relieve me" R. V. MEGARY.

SOME NEW LACE STITCHES
The Rather Coarse Work Liked by Girls Ordinarily Not Over
 Fcnd of Fancy Work

The girl who has a distaste for fine aud who chooses the darning of torn I iuen and family stockings as her share # the household duties, will find real friend in the new tilet lace embroidery, n this lace work the designs are woven nto a fine or coarse mesh net by darn- ing instead of by the cross-stitch, as ia Russian scrim embroidery. In fact, the vogue for cross-stitch embroidery has rather given way to filet lace work. which closely resembles flet-guipure,
 The real filet lace is enjoying decided popularity for insertions and edgings on table covers, center pieces and counter panes At a large dinner given this month by a well-knowu society woman the long table was covered with mag nificent linen cloth. ObIong insets of filet lace in orchid design, set at regular
 intervals formed a square in the center of the cover. while the same oblong in sertions outlined the edges of the table, and a filet lace edging finished the bor- ders of the cloth.
 A square tea cloth seen recently at an afternoon reception was built from ten inch medalIions of f1let, alternating with the same size squares of linen. Ihe lace showed lordly roosters and pea cocks silhouetted in white against the linen mesh.
 Collars and cuffs, medallions and bands of filet lace will be much in evl- dence as trimming for the shirt waist and linen frocks of the summer girl Of 1905 The girl who cannot afford the real guipure can produce almost as striking effects in darned lace, with the aid of her. book of cross-stitch designs. Colored laces seen so much on evening frocks this winter will be feature of the washable dresses for warm weather, and for these the mOdish girl can em- broider nets in the soft shades of blue, pink, yellow and lavender.
 In making filet lace the net should be securely fastened to piece of paper cambric or thin oilcloth. The mesh is so easily puckered and drawn out of shape that it must be watched careful ly. or the result will be anything but sat- isfactory The weaving is effected by a dull-pointed needle and mercerized cotton, silks or crewels in self-tone, or contrasting shades may be employed for the darning The needle is drawn ove, one thread of the mesh and under the other. as in the simple darning process. the holes being filled in by two or three crossings of the thread Another meth od of filling the holes is to have the threads pass diagonally over the tiny square, crossing each other in the cen- ter This gives more lacey effect than the straight-line stitch.-Washingto Star.
