AMERICAN PRuNEs.
The Growth Of Production and Our
Export Needs.

The Growth OF Production ana our
Export Needs.
In the United States 100,0O0,O00
pounds CT prunes are eaten yearly.
Prior to 1886 the supply came almost
wholly from France and the Danubian
provinces and sold under the desig-
nation of French or Turkish
prunes. In the year referred TO,
prunes of American growth appeared
on the market and with each succeed
ing year the supply has increased IN
til the importation of foreign frWt
has been reduced to extremely small
proportions. Much the larger portion
of the prune supply is from the south
ern part of California, where china
tic peculiarities are extremely favor
able for its production. In Santa
Clar county alone there are 100000
trees growing on $4,000 acres-l0O
to the acre. The quantity of prrnes
somewhat exceeds 110,000,000 pounds
more than enough for the require
ments of the whole country, but the
excess, with that raised in other To-
calities, is needed to supply the ex-
port demand from Great Britain, Ger
many and France. The first plum
trees planted 40 years ago in Cali
fornia were shoots from the Petite"
and "Epineuse' varieties from
France. The original varieties have
been greatly improved upon.
Ten thousand trays of fruit spread
out in one unbroken tract may be
seen in Santa Clara in the drying
season. When sufficiently cured the
prunes are stored in separate bins
and there allowed to sweat" this
process taking from ten to twelve
days. when they are ready for mar
keting.

Value OF the Weather Man.

In spite of the standing jokes about
the weather man, it Is probable that
for every dollar spent on the Weather
Bureau ten dollars are saved. At the
time of the Mississippi food OF 1897,
s15,000,O0O worth of live stock and
other property were saved as a re-
suit of warnings issued week ahead.

On the wings of fancy loose,
Free from the cares that make us

In my, dear old dads caboose;
OF all there was I now recall
That made my boy heart glad

Over the line with dad.
Chums with the brakemen laugh and
joke,
Ride on the engine awhile,
Washing away the CRIME and smoke,
Standing up straight in the aisle;
Climbing up on the counter high,
o, what a treat for lad!
Coffee, sandwich and eustard pie
Over the line with dad.
Sit way up in the lookout, too,
with an eye on the jostling cars,
Climbing there in the night to view

For fond / keep in memory's books
A record none may surpass;
All, could / only by magic ruse,
Take any trip to be had,

Over the line with dad.
The old caboose has gone long since,
And its crew has whistled the sky,
Fancy still with its radiant tints
Illumines the days gone by;
And when Gods caller comes round
for me,
MY heart shall be far from sad,
If only know that I'm to go
Over the line with dad!

BTTroN FAUX.

Button sermons are being preached
every day and much is stin left TN
said in the button line. The little
button has a decided place in dress
decoration and it is fast coming Into
its own from standpoint OF artistic
excellence. There are lovely trim
mings of little buttons to be seen on
all new frocks and one can decorate
with them and be sure of doing the
right thing, says the Washington
Times.
The brilliant little corored enamel
button set in silver is very good. 1t
is a handsome glowing button, set
in a rim, and its mission is to trim
the front of taffeta shirt waist. 1t
is particularly pretty set along the
front panel, running up and down in
groups of three. This style of but
ton can also be used upon the cuffs
and upon the stock. 1t is a tiny lit
tie general utility button to be en-
ployed for holding bows in place. for
securing loose ends, for the attaching
of little ribbon knots to places where
they should go and for tiny trimmings
of all kinds. You can easily use a
few dozen of these buttons on your
gown They are tiny, they cost little
and they never violate the canons
Of good taste.
Buttons come in all kinds. The
pretty worked linen buttons are love.
ly They come in tan cofored linen
worked in pink, and they show the
prettiest flower designs on the top.
You can cover button molds in tan
corored pongee and work them in lit
tie colored rose designs. or you can
cover them with kid with hand
painted spray on top.
One Of the prettiest dresses OF early
fan Is in channels colored cloth trim
med with pink embroidery and plen-
tifully dotted with groups Of small
pink buttons.
Embroidered buttons are to be the
fad of the winter, but there is this
nice thing about them that. though
fashionable, they are not expensive.
for they can be done at home and ara
within the reach of every one.

fullness at the waist line than here
tofore. The waist that fastens up the
back is first and foremost in the rank
and file, and for the dressy model
there Is no other style so well suited.
That which fastens invisibly at the
left side comes next and the tailored
or plain waists only are made to fas-
ten at the front. Buttons are not
conspicuous. While they are used
they are concealed rather than reveal
ed, and are sewn under folds, tucks,
hens and such like ornamentation.
Boning Is feature of the separate
waists this season and most of them
are mounted ON fitted foundations
well supported with stays. The deep
girdle is another fashionable feature.
Elbow sleeves will be extensively
worn, as we'll as the unlined chemis-

lavish hand in their development.

others are tucked, the velvet and vel
veteens of the present day being SO
light and supple as to permit of this
manipulation. Fancy separate waists

jackets and bo1ero suits, and such a
waist may be appropriately worn at
the theatre concert or luncheon.

CARE OF HARD WOOD FLOORS.

CARE OF HARD WOOD FLOORS.
Oiled or stained floors can be kept
in good condition by wiping them on
once a week with a soft cloth wrung
out in warm water into which lit
tie borax has been dissolved. 1t IS
not necessary to use soap, as the
borax cleanses thoroughly and with
out any injurious effects.
In this connection it is well to state
as gentle reminder or possibly as
a valuable piece of information that
piazza floors should be oiled at least
once year, the springtime being pre-
ferabIe. Nothing preserves wood that
is exposed to wind and weather as
we'll as good application of oil, and
three coats should be applied, allow
ing each coat to dry thoroughly be-
fore the next one is put on.

costumes made entirely of one ma

fabrics of colors OF tones, separ-
