COINED A BIG WORD.
Little One Wanted to Pick the "Un.
derchildrenable" Flowers.

When the first little granddaughter
was big enough to want to pick the
garden flowers, the grandparents tried
every guileful means to save their pet
pCsies from devastation. A truce was
reached when it was agreed that Har-
riet should let the garden plants alone
and pick only "children's flowers"
descriptive name bestowed at once
alike on dandelions, buttercups,
daisies and cloyers. After this there
was peace in the family One day
Katherine, the newest granddaughter,
was contentcdly pulling grasses while
grandmother shipped OF blossoms
from the forget-me-nots. Katherine
remembered that fresh flowers had
not been gathered for the dinner ia.
BILE. She ran over to grandmother and
promptly coined one Of the longest
words four-year-old ever used.
GRANDMOTHER" she begged, cant
pick the underchildrenable flowers
for dinner?"

FOR THE BOUDOIR
RIBBON WORK BASKET is A
DAINTY coNcEIT.
Especially Useful In These Days When
Elaborate ornamentation Of Lin

most Every Woman.

Lingerie that is dainty and sheer
and bears the marks of foreign needle
work is layishly trimmed with ribbons
and lingerie that is plain and of do
mestic make has quantities of ribbon
run headings and bowknots to dec
crate it, so that it is easy to see that
the well-dressed woman of to-day is
particular about the decoration and
beauty of her undergarments. All this
trimming with ribbons means few
hours work each week, and as many
women prefer to reserve this ribbon
running for their own spare hours
rather than to give it to the maid to
do they provide themselves with an
outfit comprising the latest and most
attractive bodkins, ribbon holders,
fancy bags and scissors.

mold to appear, and the fruit be rend-
cred entirely worthless for storage
purposes. With small fruits particular
ly, the effect of decay is so disastrous
that any agency which facilitates the
quick and safe handling of the crop
should be welcomed by the small fruit
grower.
The package is very important
factor in the handling as well as in the
marketing the crop. Types of packages
have been evolved which conform to
the nature of the fruit for which they
are designed. Berries are packed in
small boxes or baskets, in which
the weight is so small that the deli
cate texture of the fruit is not in
jured, while large, firm fruits, like the
apple and pear, adapt themselves to
large packages. such as. boxes and
barrels designed for such usage. From
the cold storage standpoint, it may be
stated that fruits, which ripen quick
ly like summer apples and pears,
should be stored in small packages
which permit a rapid lowering of the
temperature.
For such fruits, the barrel is too
large a package, retaining the heat
and causing the fruit to ripen unduly
before it can be cooled down. If the
storage period is to be short an open
package for such fruits may be of ad-
dtional value, though not necessary
if the package is small. For berries, a
closed package is best. provided the
fruit is dry and cool at picking time.

HANDLING OF
FRUIT CROP
By s. H. Fulton, United States
Department of Agriculture.

The Importance of handling fruit
quickly is coming to be getter realized.
When a fruit is taken from the tree, or
plant, it's life processes are acceler-
ated, and if it is to be shipped con-
siderable distance or is designed for
holding cold storage, it should be
handled with the least delay possible
Here, again, in the matter of quick
handling, cold storage has been an
important educating feature. Apples,

age, and in the case of bad scalding
varieties, scald much worse than

condition.
Delaware grown Kieffer pears, de-
layed ten days before being shipped to
cold storage, continued to ripen and
soften in storage and were injured at
least so per cent. in commercial value
by the delay. The effect of delay upon
small fruits is very much greater. In
the case of fruit designed for cold
storage, delay of IL hours in hot
weather will shorten the period OF
keeping by several days, while delay
of "a hours may give time for the

about to set up at Maiden:

TRANSFORMATIONS.
Curious Recules When Coffee Drinking
is Abandoned.

1t is almost as hard for an old coffee
toper to quit the use Of coffee as it is
for whisky or tobacco fiend to break
off, except that the coffee user can
quit coffee and take up Postum with
out any feeling of a loss Of the morn
ing beverage, for when Postum is well
boiled and served with cream, it is
really better in point Of flavor than
most of the coffee served nowadays.

is like the favor of fine, mild Java.

in the body within ten days or two
weeks after coffee IS left OFF and

the grass that is used universally for
lawns. The slender-leaved blue grass,
Poa tenuifolia, is held by Prof. Ken

of the chief grazing grasses of the re-

the tops of the mountains. In form
of growth it may be spoken of as a
bunch grass. 1t grows from six
inches to one and half feet high and

Raters, saiIabouts and Larks,

what is Il rater, u sailabout, a lark,
IS a question commonly heard among
those not familiar with yachts and
Ieohnical racing terms. 4 ratcr IS
thirty-eight feet long and carries the
double sails-sloop rig and jib. The
half rater is thirty-two feet long, car,
rles the same style sails as the ratcr
and usually gets a FIVE minute nandi-
cap in rater races The sailabout car
ries q single large sail and is built on
graceful lines, with rounded sides and
ends, while the lark has square sides
and ends and carries the single sail.
Few larks are built now. Most Of the
yachts recently built have the double
centerboard. The centerboard pre-
vents drifting sidewise, and the single
board is often entirely out of water
during heavy winds; hence the use OF
the double board.
