In his exceedingly interesting RE
port ON Commercial instruction in Ger
many" published by the Foreign Office,
DR.. Frederic Rose, British consul at
Stuttgart, gives some information con-
corning certain commercial schools for
girls that have been set up in the
Fatherland.
One Of the most interesting Of these
is the municipal commercial school for
girls at Nuremberg. At this institu-
tion-intended for the instruction of
girls who have passed through the ele-
mentary schools and who wish to en-
ter business-pupils are taken through
4 three years course in religion, arith-
metic, bookkeeping, commercial
knowledge Including principles of
economics. foreign exchanges and ele-
ments Of German commercial law,
German, French, English, commercial
geography, handwriting, shorthand and
typewriting.
The fees are $3.50 per annum, pay
able quarterly. The number of pupils
increases steadily year by year, and
reached $50 In 1904.

Rest Asbestos Mines.

Commercial asbestos is fire-resist-
ing substance composed of silky fibers
up to six inches in length, which can
be used for packing or woven into fab
RIGS. Its value corresponds approx
mately with the length of the fiber.
1t is prepared from a mineral Of varia-
Bile color, which is usually found de-
posted il thin sheets in the seams Of
granite rock. The fiber is normal to
the sheets and its length is thus lin
tied By the thickness of the seam. The
most important deposits so far discov-
cred in America are one Of fesh-col-
ored mineral in Arizona and a green
deposit at Black Lake, in the Province
of Quebec, Canada. In order to secure
the asbestos mineral it is necessary to
quarry the granite in which it occurs
and afterward separate the materials
by crushing.

Wells are to be more fashionable

Crepe chiffon wells are to have a lin

Large patterns on a net or maline

Floral Notes.

Floral Notes.
Plant shade trees for ornament and
comfort.
Clematis should be pruned back
about one-half.
The best time for pruning roses is
just before growth starts in the spring.
Start slips Of lantana, petunia, YER
bena, heliotrope, colei, geraniums, ETC.,
for bedding out.
Roses like a rich soil, and they
should have some good manure dug in
around them every spring.
Get out the madeira tubers and
start them for veranda baskets. You
cannot have too many vines.
Start tuberose bulbs into growth In
the house in March or April, and do
not put them out In the beds until the
first Of June.
