and are unique.
In preparing for the royal wedding,
too, the duchess had the jewels in a
small high diamond crown reset after
the pattern Of that Queen Alexandra
wears. The duchess had the gems
taken from one of her magnificent dia-
mond collars and set into a chain long
enough to wind twice around her neck
and fall to her waist.
A beautiful ornament was made of
the Marlborough diamond, little known
and seldom seen, which has been in the
family for centuries and is almost as
large as the Westminster gem. 1t was
set so as to form a pendant that drops
from the duchess hair to her fair fore
head. The duke was very loath to
change the setting of this wonderful
gem. but his wife had her way.

PARIS. June 2.-Paris, which was
conspiouousy left out Of Princess Ena's

cent revenge. The war of roses was a
mild exchange of amenities in compari-

The French modistes have made no

the "unlnspired," "unemotional' British
hats of the queen-elect of Spain.
The affair was brought about by the
enterprise of lie Matn, which, before
publishing pictures of some of these
creations, submitted them TO experts of
the Rue de la Paix for their criticism
A feminine artist who has crowned
many head that supports a royal dia-
dem, lifted supercilious lorgnette and
examined the first picture. Then, with
round eyes of infant wonderment, she
inquired:
what on earth is that? A hat?
Never! 1t is not possible to believe 1t.
Monsieur has made some error. That
mass of feathers and strings hat!

Monsieur protested that it was not

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, June 2.--Some well-known
men stopping at the Carlton, who are
watching the prevailing aerial currents
with the utmost keenness. are three
distinguished aeronauts. The first in
importance is Don Jaime, Bourbon
pretender to the Spanish throne. The
really active, practical balloonist Of the
party is Chevalier Korwin, head of the
aeronautic section Of the Austrian
army, who is accompanied by another
aerial expert. Vicomte de Veauce, not
to be confounded with Comte de In
Vaux, another famous balloonist. Capt.
Brandt is also attached to the party.
Chevalier Korwin, who Is young and
a snguarly fine and handsome speci-
men of a man, has made $50 free as
cents and 5000 ascents in captive bal
looms. Incidentally 1t may he mem
toned that he has fought twenty-one
dues.
Archduke Daring BaIIoonist
The chevalier has been closely asso-
ciated with that popular Austrian
archduke, Leopold Calvator, who Is
known as one of the most daring aero
nauts i'm the world, to whom the chev-
alier has served as expert in the dukes
most difficult ascents.

But last evening Chevalier Korwn
was strolling around the Carlton with
disconsolate look, bearing in his hand
slip of paper upon which was:
"All indications tend to show that
for sometime southwest winds will pre-
vail, whereas northwest winds are lit
tie likely"
This discouraging bulletin came from
the meteorological bureau. Your COR

DoN'TS FOR THIN WOMEN.

Don't walk to excess. A short walk
will be beneficial, but long walks are
flesh reducing.
Don't strive for long wasted effects.
The longer you make yourself look the
thinner you will appear.
Don't wear black Black has a tend
ency to make any one look slender
Light clothes are the most becoming.
Don't stay up late at night Get at
least nine hours good sleep. A woman
needs more sleep than a man, and
nothing keeps her in good condition
like lots Of sleep.
Don't wear stripes. Checks, plaids
and horizontal effects are better for
thin women. They should strive for
becoming, deceiying effects il they
study art in dressing a. ALL
Don't forget That a well rounded fig
ure makes you look younger and is
considered a mark Of beauty. Starchy
foods, massage, moderate exercise, rest
and sleep should produce this.

KITCHEN HELPS.

Dry your saucepans before you put
them away.
Coffee grounds kept in the sink
strainer will catch grease and thus pre-
vent clogging of the pipes.
A cloth dipped in boiling water,
wrung out ard placed over fish that
has been boiled will keep it warm for
quite a while.
Sprinkle a little crushed borax on a
flannel cloth that has been wet in hot
water and well soaped This will
brighten the copper like magic. Rinse
and polish.
The odor that clings so persistently
to utensil in which fish or onions
have been fried may be dispelled by
placing in a hot oven for ten OF fifteen
minutes after washing and drying.
If a teaspoonful Of concentrated I've
with cupful of water be put in ket-
tie whose contents have burned on the
bottom and left to stand for a few
hours there will be no trouble in re-

IN COOKING MEAT.
Care Should Be Taken to Preserss

Care Should BE Taken to Preser.e
the Juices.
Except for soup stock, meat should
be cooked in way to preserve its
juices. In the first few minutes of
boiling it should be subjected to a
temperature higher than boiling point,
so that a crust will form and keep in
the juices. Then the temperature
should be lowered and the meat merely
simmered till done.
In roasting and broiling the same
principle is followed. The meat is put
directly into an extremely hot oven or
over the flames and allowed to become
scared over the surface, after which
the tempera ture is lowered.
For soup stock meat should be put
into cold stock or water and gradually
brought to the boiling point in order
that the juices may flow from it, &dd-
ing strength to the stock.
When roasting beef some housewives
to give it favor rub the surface with
an onion-o or place an onion on top of it.
A certain housewife who prepares
delicious roasts says that she never
bastes her meat with water, but uses
the drippings instead.

Children and Manners.

Did you ever stop to think that chill
dren, as a rule, know each other far
better than their parents and teachers
do? Boys and girls show their real
characters at play, when they have not
the restraint OF the presence of their
elders or any incentive to appear at
their best. So when you tell your boy
you wish he would be as gentlemanly
and polite as Harry Lee your view
point is that of Harry's conduct in
your house when he comes on an err
rand or to play with your boy. Your
son knows him as lie is when of guard
on the playground selfish, rude, sly,
perhaps-and he resents being asked to
copy such q character. says writer in
the Mothers Magazine. Quite likely
your boy has on his company manners,
too, when away to an extent you would
hardly believe. Children have pride in
their behavior, and it is an old saying,
well proved, that they often behave
better when their parents are not
around.

THE BEDROOM.

1t Should Have as Little Furniture
In 1t as Possible.
Decorations and nangings for a bed
room should be of the daintiest mate
rial both in color and design.
Printed dimity is quite the prettiest
and most inexpensive to use in fur
nishing a sleeping apartment. Cur
tains, bedspread, dresser. covers and
chair cushions may be made of it.,
though for the latter chintz in the same
design is heavier and more desirable.
In the property appointed modern bed
room as little furniture as possible is
used. This insures proper sanitary con
.ditions, for the less there is to collect
dust the better.
The floor should be either plain var
nished wood, with a few rugs on it, or
a denim carpet tackled close to the wall.
The bed is best of iron or brass, as
it isless apt to collect dust or dirt. A
pretty cover can be made for it of dim
ity, with RIFLES at the edge, hanging
we'll over the Sides but clearing the
floor by several inches.

How Plant Lice Feed.

Many people do not understand that
plant lice feed in very different man
ner from a caterpillar or a potato bee
tie. Plant lice are not provided with
jaws for biting off pieces Of plant,
but their mouth parts are drawn out
into threadlike organs which move
along a groove in long slender beak.
The threads are forced into the plant,
and the juices are sucked into the in
sect's food canal, much as a mosquito
works. Therefore one cannot feed such
a sucking insect a poison. spray Oh the
surface of a leaf, but it is necessary to
hit each plant louise with something
that will cover up its breathing holes
or soak into its body and thus kill by
actual contact with the insect.

and less than this if the condition of
health requires it. The cases are of
all too frequent occurrence where an
ambitious son or daughter has been
urged beyond the limit of physical and
nervous endurance simply to satisfy
the shallow vanity of an unwise and
shortsighted parent in the desire to see
the child at the head of the class. A
weakened vitality, ruined eyesight and
nervous breakdown are considera-
tons which prove beyond question that
the game doesn't begin to pay the can
die. The boy possessing a somewhat
larger endowment of animal spirits
and having less ambition and pride
than his sister will fire his books into
the corner when the point of nervous
tension is reached and go out of doors
and refresh his tired spirits. 1t is
only the "tomboy" girl who will imi
tate her brother in this respect. and
fortunate she is if endowed with his
feelings. There's not a high school,
college or university in the country
but has its quota OF human sacri-
fees due to this abominable system of
examining, stuffing and overstudy AS
the children in the home grow to ma
turity every care possible should be
exercised with view to giving them
strong and robust bodies, their intel
lectual attachments being Of entirely
secondary considerable when got at a
sacrifice of health. 1t is of mighty lit
tie satisfaction to the student when he
finishes his school or college course to
realize that in return for store of
more or less useless book knowledge
he is: doomed to lifelong invalidism and
incapacity. Education is valuable
asset, but it is dearly acquired at an
expense of physical bankruptcy.

THE START IN ALFALFA

A reader of these notes, living at
Petersburg, H., writes asking where
he can secure pure and reliable alfalfa
seed. In reply to this direct question
we would say that the Payne Alfalfa
company Of Omaha, Neb., is recon-
mended by the Iowa experiment sta
ton as one Of the most reliable firms
dealing in alfalfa seed. Seed which
the writer got from it last fall gave
a most excellent stand. In starting
a patch of alfalfa only the best seed
should be used, and this will come
at about So per bushel, which is the
price Of red clover seed. Our CORE
spondent also wishes to know where
he can get red clover bacteria with
which to inoculate his soil. In view Of
the fact that such rank frauds have
been perpetrated under the guise Of
furnishing cultures for the different
leguminous crops, we would repeat
what appeared in these notes a short
time ago relative to this subject. In
order to clear up a good deal Of fiction
concerning the matter, as we'll as to
show up q number Of firms that were
swindIing the public with bogus and
worthless bacteria cultures, the agri-
cultural department issued bulletin
which states that experiments conduct
ed show that no beneficial results can
be expected for a particular crop If the
bacteria Of that plant are already in
the soil; that but little benefit can be
expected if the ground is decidedlr in
need OF other fertilizers, such as phos-
plates, potash or lime, and that prac-
tically no benefit can be derived from
incubation Of the soil if it is already
rich in nitrogen Experiments carried
on at the Iowa station under the super
vision Of Professor Holden show that
very satisfactory results can be OBJ
tanned by thoroughly fertilizing the
plot to be used for alfalfa with barn
yard manure and putting it in the best
Of filth before sowing the seed, har-
rowing In as with clover. 1t is con
sceded that there may be distinct adj
vantage in taking soil from field in
which the plant has obtained a foot
hold and scattering it on the new land
at the time the. seed is sown but the
importation of nitro cultures from any
firm which does not have the o K Of
the department Of agriculture or ones
own state experiment station is, as eX-
perience of many has proved, very
preearious speculation. Fit the land
as you would to produce bumper
crop Of corn and SOW seed not later
than Aug. Is.
