SETTING Strawberry Plants

For the best results in large fields 1
would set strong young plants in the
spring in rows four feet apart and
three feet in the row in soil as thor
oughly fitted as for an onion bed Set
the plants very firmly, but not too
deep, and if the land is Tooth and
free from stones or other coarse ma
terial cultivate with a straight toothed
weeder until the runners begin to
form, going both ways. The weeders
with curved teeth are not as good for
this work as those with straight teeth,
as they press down upon the plants
and often break off the buds, while
the straight teeth work around the
plant. This tool will keep down the
weeds that come from seeds if run
frequently enough, but the perennial
weeds, like witch grass, sorrel, etc.,
must be destroyed by frequent use Of
the hand hoes. T. M. in New Eng

She Had Manv Suitors.

Napoleon Ill, when he was living in
London; the Duke d'Aumale, Lord
Beaconsfeld and many other conspic-
uous figures of the nineteenth century
are on record as having been among
the suitors for the hand of Miss Bur
dett- Coutts, who afterWard became
baroness. and it is doubtful whether
any woman ever received so large a
number Of matrimonial offers as the
baroness. In fact, they became a posi-
tive nuisance, and in 1347 she was
compelled to bring legal proceedings
against a lawyer Of the name of Rich
ard Dunn, who, according to the
terms of the Indictment had for eight
years prosecuted her with most unwel-
come attentions with view to matri-
mony. Dunn was sent to prison for
eighteen months, although there is no
doubt that he was, while sane in other
matters, perfectly crazy on the subject
Of Miss Burdett-Coutts, as she was
then, and particularly on the subject of
her fortune. Chicago Tribune.

assist materially in keeping the clothes
white and will not hurt them In the
least.
The most obstinate stains Of fruit,
tea, coIee, ETC., in the tablecloth and
napkins will succumb to an applica-
ton of one part of javelle water dilut-
ed with four parts of soft water. If
the stained article is soaked in this
fluid for several hours, thoroughly
washed and rinsed it will usually come
out perfectly white and clean Only
white goods can be treated this way,
however, as jayelleE water is likely to
fade co1ors.
1t is made thus: Place four pounds
of washing soda in large gran
tie or porcelain lined pan and pour
over it four quarts Of hot water. Stir
with a stick until the soda has dis
solved, add a pound Of chloride Of lime
and stir until this has dissolved. AL
low the liquid to cool in the pan, strain
the portion through thin cloth into
wide mouth jugs or bottles and cork
tightly for use. The part that contains
the sediment also may be bottled and
used for cleaning the sink, kitchen ia

The girl was Juggling her chiffOnier

in unceremoniously and demanded an
explanation. That's the third time
you've changed that piece of furniture

The girl gave the chiffonier a final

gaspingly: TN order that l may be

He showed that on that side the hair

Time to COMPROMISE.

once more appealed and remanded. This
went on until the case came back to
the squire for the eleventh time It
was jury case, and when the last

About Elatirons.

Flatirons that are put away for a
few weeks often get rusty, and the
best way to prevent this is to rub a
little warm grease over the surface
and then wrap them up in brown pa
per. When taken out dip into hot wa
ter that has had a small piece Of soda
dissolved in it, rub dry and then put
them to heat in the usual way. WheL
they are ready to be used on the iron
ing board have a piece Of brown pa
per with a little powdered bath brick
on it and rub the surface Of your iron
with this. 1t seems rather lengthy
process, but it really does not take
long to do, and housewives will be re
Warded for the trouble they have taken
by finding the irons delightfully."- smooth
and easy to use. and when they are
like this the work can be done twice
as quickly.

The Baby Baskets.

Nothing is better for a baby basket
than wire dish drainer, either round
or oblong in shape. They only cost 10
cents at any store where kitchen goods
are sold. Cover the wire with blue
cambria or blue satin first. Over that
place white dotted or plain muslin,
rather full. Make a deep ruffie edged
with baby lace to fall over the outside.
Cut out piece Of cardboard to fit the
bottom. Cover it with a layer Of cot
ton batting. Cover with the cambria
and then the muslin
Sprinkle sachet powder on the cotton
batting if one cares to have the basket

COX ORANGE PIPPIN.

uriant, but SO far as tried by me at
Orchard farm it makes satisfactory
growth and produces fruit regularly
which is Of exceptionally high quality.
The branches of the trees are light and
willowy in character. The leaves are
narrow and pointed and inclined to
roll slightly, but are, however, healthy
to the end Of the season. The fruit is
medium in size slightly russell, which
as it ripens turns to a rich golden vel
low, and partially covered with a deep
red color. 1t is not as highly colored
as some red apples, and for this rea-
son its fine quality and great merit
would not be discovered by buyers in
a general market, but when matured it
is exceedingly high in flavor, slightly
acid, juicy, crisp, of fine texture and
aromatic to high degree.
Eight years ago set my first CRAFTS
of this variety on a willow twig tree.
For three years the willow twig stock
has been suffering from an attack Of
canker, which has nearly girdled the
tree, but it has borne regularly for
three years. Crafts are now growing
on Wagner and Alexander trees which
will come into bearing the coming sea-
son. The variety is not one to be rec
commended for the general grower. 1t
is a high grade fruit that must seek
special market and will need to be
grown by the specialist who will give
it the needed high culture, fertilizing,
pruning and spraying that it will re-
quire.
The apple has one popularity differ
ent from all other varieties When it
reaches it's highest perfection, it
shrivels slightly. The English consum-
err does not consider it as at it's best
until it reaches this condition. While
it is then perfectly sound, it is most
delicate in texture and very highly
aromatic. The apple is ready to pick
about the last of September and
will keep in common storage until the
holidays, but in cold storage it may
be kept until February. 1t is a box
apple and adapted to that class OF
trade. I shall double work 1t upon
different stocks with the view to
strengthening its foliage. I believe it
will be possible to grow it in this coun-
try of equal if not superior quality to
those grown in England.

HIGH GRADE TEAS.
Some That Never Get Beyond the
Boundaries of China.

SUNS iHas iNSNc' yet 6syond the
Boundaries of China.
Many of the highest grade Chinese
teas never leave the country-that is,
are never exported in commercial guam
titles" says a writer. "Tea specialists
in Europe and America manage to OBJ
tain specimens through corresponding
firms in Chinese export centers. but
these samples are not for sale. These
rare teas are preserved for occasional
comparison and testing with the gen
eral commercial teas. They are known
as unsupported teas l have known of
only one person outside of the tea pro-
ducing countries who supplies the
trade Of the general public with speci-
mems of the rare teas. His prices
range from $75 to 800 a pound.
CAS- not even an expert can safely
judge such tea by its appearance alone,
it is necessary to taste it in the cup be-
fore purchasing The vender can hard
~ afford to dispense this 500 tea gra-
tuitousiy, so a charge of 81 to $3.50 a
cup is male, and as judiciously pre-
pared Infusion allows the making Of
about zoo cups from a pound of tea
the profit from this tasting is almost
gigantic. On rare occasions exception
ally valuable teas sold at auction in
London have brought from 1925 to
$275 pound
"But these fancy teas-almost lit
orally worth their weight in gold-are
rarely seen by ordinary people. They
are preserved in sealed glass jars in
the safes of the tea specialists who
own them. Such exceptional teas are
worth the high valuation placed upon
them. Chicago News.

Too Anxious by Half.

A vast number Of people are need
lessly anxious about their manners
Having been "house folks" all their
lives, contentedly and usefully round
Ing out their days among kindred and
neighbors who love and understand
them and share their standards, says
an editorial in the Home Journal, they
are prone when they make rare ex-
cursion into another atmosphere to a
painful self consciousness that spoils
their pleasures.
Travel is not at all necessary to cul-
ture. Some of the finest culture the
world has ever seen owed nothing to
travel. But there is one comfortable
result Of travel, and that is the assur-
ance it gives that people are pretty
much alike. The superficial traveller
may be impressed by 'how different"
things abroad are from those at home
but the wise observer is always being
newly made aware how much the same
are things the world over.
So with the gift of tongues. One Of
the best services it does for us is to
show how much in common different
people have when they can understand
each other. History is another help.
The deeper into the past the student
delves the more wonderfully he real
ICES how little time has altered human
nature. And as for exalted rank and
superior talents, it seems as if every
one ought to enjoy the advantage of in
formal association with at least one
celebrity, if only to prove how little
real difference fame or splendor makes.
Knowing these things keeps one de-
lightfully free from that difidence
which prevents many persons from APP
pearing well in strange society and
from getting that best Of the stranger
which he can give only to one with
whom he can be at ease When it
comes to manners there are very few
things, after all, that are essential, and
more people make an awkward ap-
pearance because they are too concern
ed about their manners than err In the
other extreme. An absorbed interest
in another Individual, an eager desire
to learn how his experience Of life cor
roborates or transcends our own, a
sweet willingness to give of our best
toward the pleasurableness Of the oc-
caslon-these are much better begin
nings in good manners than are all the
etiquette books in creation.
The way to enjoy other people is to
think as little as possible of any points
in which they may differ from us and
as much as possible Of the many points
in which they must resemble us. And
as for which fork to eat fish with, and
whether to leave one card or two, and
what to say to a hostess when present
ed-what folly to agonize oneself into
a cold perspiration over these things
when If we but knew the truth we
should find that about four-hfths Of
those present had no more settled con-
victlons on the subject than we And
If we could see the knowing fifth neat
ly roped of from the rest we should
find fewer Of the great, the interesting,
the delightful among them than among
the others. Great men eat with the
wrong fork quite as often as do shy
girls from the county.

sandwich can be made with the assist
ance Of the nutritious currant. Take a
teacupful Of currants and rub them In

some thin slices Of bread. Cover the
buttered bread all over with currants,
sift very little castor sugar over
them and make into sandwiches. This
satisfying little novelty is wonderfully
appreciated and will not fail to delight

BOOMS THE BRIDGE.
VICTOR cUsHWA, OF WILLIAMS
PORT, WRITES.
uroes the People Not to Let Foreign
Capital Take the invest

Mr.. Victor Cushwa, of WiIliamsport,
president OF the Washington and
Berkeley Bridge Co.. send the follow
ing communication to the Hagerstown
Mail:
The absolute necessity of a bridge
over the Potomac river at Williams
port to uniteWashington and Berkeley
counties bids fair to become real.
The great question is Shall we let
foreign capital secure majority of
the shares as has been done in the
past with other enterprises Or will
the counties OF Washington and Berk-
eiey come forward and secure a ma.
iority at least OF the stock?v Both
counties have endorsed railroad bonds
of and for which the people are taxed.
that have never paid any interest or
part of the principal. The bridge VIII
pay as the other bridges which are
not within 20 to 80 miles distant from
here with much less natural advan-
tages, are paying from to per cent.
on a cost of from $4,000 to 100000
with only a roadway, whilst the
Washington and Berkeley" is to have
the addition of trolley-way.
The county of Washington, and we
trust also the county of Berkeley, has
the legal right to take and should
take a large block of the cost which
will surely pay as good at least as
government securities and allow a
low rate of toll so as to invite trade
and bring prosperity to all by the
great increase of business and values
of property which will likely create
such an increase in value as to lower
taxes to an extent equal to the cost
of the bridge Let our counties then
begin to emulate the example of
younger states in ownership OF inter
nal improvements, such as roads,
bridges and other public utilities. Let
us own the bridge. 1t will pay. II
will be legacy to posterity.
