latest Fad In "SocIetY."

The latest fad in certain eastern So
ciety circles is to be glum and cross.
One phase of this more than usually
absurd affectation takes the form Of
'onoring letters. of introduction and
this lack or consideration has reused
family feuds in several cases. One
wealthy young Italian, who is a mem.
Der of one of the best Roman families,
went to Newpc~S this summer with
many letters from prominent persons.
But he has found it impossible to pre-
sent them. 1T is foolish to expect
anything from social leaders these
days and the stranger who asks to be
received by letter has a hard time of

a society matron was ignored.

REMEDY FOR APPLE scA5.
Ohio Experiment Station Proves That
This Disease Can Be Controlled.

The Ohio experiment station has
demonstrated that the apple scab is
the chief factor in the destruction Of
the apple crop, and that the fungus
can be kept under control by spray
ing. Four splendid successive crops
were produced on the sprayed trees
at the station, while the fruit on the
unsprayed trees in the same, and
neighboring orchards, was worthless.
The director, Prof. Thorne, however,
calls attention to the fact that ex-
haustion of soil fertility, want of wa
ter and insect ravages may all CO.
operate with scab or other fungus
growths in shortening the crop, and
says: "If our orchards are again to
produce the great crops of early days,
we must, in so far as possible, re.
store the soil conditions of those days;
we must avoid the waste of water in
those sections where rainfall Is
scanty, by preventing the growth un.
der the trees of weeds and grass, and
by keeping the surface in such condi-
ton as to prevent rapid evaporation"

Pick OF caterpilIar Eaas.

When the trees are bare is the time
to hunt the caterpillar eggs and re-
move them from the branches. If this
can be done in December, it should be
done at that time, because the days
are mild and a boy can climb about
the tree tops without being exposed
to the cold winds that will interfere
with the work later in the winter.
The eggs will be found in clusters or
rings about the twigs and smaller
branches. They are easily recognized,
and cutting them out will prevent the
appearance of the colonies next spring.
The sooner the work is done the more
certain will the orchard owner be that
the clusters of eggs will not be for
gotten. Next spring there will be a
great many things to do, and 1t is very
easy not to find time then for work of
this kind.

Lower Animals In Sickness.

Man might often take from the low.

himself when i'll. All sorts of animals
suffering from fever eat little; lie
quiet in dark, airy places, and drink
quantities of water. When a dog loses
his appetite he knows where to find

and emetic. Sheep and cows, when

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory II the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because Of its great
er strength than other makes.

LITTLE THINGS AND BIG.
Dlfferentiate Between the Essential
and the Non-EssentiaI.

Little things are often of great i'm
portance, but when they are so they
are not little. The pinion of a watch
wheel, for example, in one sense is
little, In another sense it is not so al
all; for when 1t is not perfectly ad
justed, the watch is worthless for time.
keeping. 1t is not size that makes a
thing little or great, but it's relation to
the end for which number of things
are combined. If thing Is essential
it is important. Because so many OF
the people who are always preaching
the Importance of little things fail tC
discriminate between the little and the
non-essential, they often make a
wretched mess of the management Of
their own and other peoples affairs.
theoretically, If every factor that con-
tributes to result Is perfect, the re-
suit will be perfect; but practically,
for want of time, strength and oppOr-
tunity, the efficient man is compelled
to neglect some things for the sake of
others; and, in order to do this and
yet secure the main end, he has to
discriminate between the essential and
the non-essential. The one who is
thoroughly imbued with the false doc
trine Of the importance of little things,
spends his strength without discrim-
ination, and usually succeeds in miss
ing the main chance.-The Waterman

Refrigeration Of Fruit In Transport.

At a meeting of refrigerating engi-
neers In New York, it was stated that
where apples are shipped from the
orchard without cooling and are from
three to ten days In transit, large
losses occur, especially in the top lay
ers of fruit. The only way to obviate
this is to have the fruit thoroughly
cooled before it is placed In the car
or have the refrigerating arrange
ments so perfect in the car that the
fruit will be cooled uniformly through
