Ruxinx Remnants.

Do not be persuaded into buying a
remnant that is too short in length for
the contemplated gown, unless you are
certain you can combine with it some
thing you have or can buy at a price
that will permit the gown to remain a
bargain.
1t is in waist lengths and remnants
that may be utilized for children's
dresses that the greatest opportunities
offer, and here even half-yard lengths
of plaids and bright colors may be util-
lied for pipings and bands to brighten
a dress of plain color.

Sowing Corn for Fodder

The silo has opened advantages to
dairymen in other countries where corn
does not mature. In England, where
the conditions are unfavorabls for the
production Of matured crops Of corn,
the farmers sow corn for fodder, store
1t In the silo. then grow a crop of tur-
nips on the land, from which they took
the fodder. The same system can be
practiced In this country, but our farm
ers are content with one crop, and thus
do not derive as much from the land as
Is possible to be obtained. The land in
England Is high, and farmers pay high
rents, but they do not hesitate to use
manures and fertilizers freely, securing
large crops in return.

Small Fruits.
~~~ON~


Frequently two crops may be had on
the same plot during the year, such as
early peas followed by late cabbage, or
turnips may follow onions; but the
soil should be rich and well supplied
with manure or fertilizer. One advan-
the dry season some Of the crops can
be watered by the use of the hose or
sprinkler. inexperienced persons should
not expect complete success the first
year, but there Is nothing too difficult
to learn, and the second year should
prove satisfactory If the season does
not become too dry. The principal
small fruits are blackberries, strawber-
ries and raspberries, but gooseberries.
currants and grapes are also included
The most profitable fruits are those
that receive attention during the entire
year. The strawberry will thrive and
bear well with but little cultivation on
some soils, and often receives no care
after the plants have been set out, 9th
err than to run the cultivator down the
rows once or twice, but it will pay we'll
for any extra labor that may be ap-
piled, however. The largest berries are
grown from plants In single stools, but
the largest yields are obtained from the
matted row system. The first essential
is to get the young plants In the ground
as soon Is possible, so as to afford them
an opportunity to grow and make head
way before the dry season comes on.
High winds and dry soil will make
quick work Of young plants. The rows
should be just wide enough apart to
admit Of the use of the horse hoe, and
the ground should be kept very loose
around the plants in order to guard
against drought as much as possible.

One Of the most important fruits Of
the establishment Of the Mount Rose
weather observatory in the Sierra Ne
vada near Reno, New, at an elevation
of 10000 feet, is the discovery of rule
by which the appearance Of frost in the
Truckee and Carson valleys below may
be predicted with positive assurance
from twenty-four to thirty-six hours In
advance.
BY comparing relative meteorological
data for San Francisco and Reno at
$500 feet elevation, and Mount Rose,
10000 feet elevation, constant CORE
spondence Is observed between fall in
pressure and fall In temperature, ena-
bling frost representations to be made
with certainty. The station was estab-
lished originally with the idea of gath
ering information which would be avail
able In predicting the weather condi-
lions for the districts farther east.

no hit and miss union of the two. The

Lime for Fungi.

There Is a fungus which sometimes
attacks carrots and turnips, causing de-
cay at the roots, or a misshapen
growth, or a whitening Of the leaves.
This may be prevented by liberal SOW
ing Of air-slaked lime upon the soil,
thirty or forty bushels per acre, and
narrowing it in before the seed Is sown,
as the fungus lives in the soil. But 1t
is usually better and cheaper to put
the root crops on new land where this
fungus has never appeared.

The Ideal Education.

A prominent educator Of girls in ad-
dressing an audience, mostly Of teach
ers, In New York this spring, on 1.-THE
Education of a Girl" opened his re-
marks by the question. "Why try to
make a man of herr" ITO educate for
efficiency" he declared, was the use
Of the girls school. An efficient wom-
an should be the product.
There are some traits" this speak
er insisted, that the vast majority Of
people agree upon as being especially
and desirably feminine; sweetness,
agreeableness, or whatever you are
pleased to call 1t, grace, beauty, gen.
tleness, love of home, skill In the care
Of children. Why should not those in
charge of the education of girls at
tempt to formulate a clear idea of
what the efficient woman is, and then
devise the best daily exercise they can
to help each girl achieve that efficien-
cy.' Why not, indeed? A school that
could turn out that ideal girl would
be blessing to aug community. That
a woman, to be efficient, must resem-
BILE an efficient man is the idea of
many people on the matter. The efIl-
Gent woman, efficient in being grace
full, agreeable, gentle, home-loving and
home-making, Is more japanese edu-
cational ideal for girls, at present, than
an American one. If to the acknowl-
edged charm of the japanese girl the
superior opportunities Of the American
girl could be added, what an education
1t would be!
For one does not exclude the other.
Charm should be the heritage of every
woman, as energy that Of every man.
The Eternal Feminine is meant to be
eternally feminine, or she will never
lead man upward and on" A school
that turns out girls with good health,
good looks good brains. good ideals,
and good prospects, was this wise
speakers ideal. 1t is ours, too.-Har-

contributor, judging by this very ex-
celient advice TO married ladies, from
"Bracebridge HALF:
'No woman" he says, 'can expect

are always deemed to be duped, not so
much by the arts of the sex as by their

wooing goddesses and marrying mere
mortals. A woman should, therefore,
ascertain what was the charm that
rendered her SO fascinating when a

she has become wife. One great
thing undoubtedly was the chariness
of herself and of her conduct, which
an unmarried female always observes.

Making Cloth from Paper.

| ITO the ingenuity OF Herr Emil Cla
viez, well-known Saxon inventor and
manufactures, Is due the production OF
a paper yarn termed "Zylolin," that
has been successfully used in wide
range Of textile fabrics" SO writes
Frank N. Bauskett in the Technical
World Magazine.
1.-The utilization OF paper wood fibre
In this practical way and the extreme
cheapness Of the new material COM
pared with other yarns now in use Is
really most remarkable achievement.
This Is not haphazard discovery, but
rather the logical result Of years OF
painstaking study and experimentation.
After the final development of the the
ory at first in mind into tangible ma
terial for all manner of uses in textile
industries, the paper thread and yarn,
loose or tightly spun, of all thicknesses,
have since been woven into almost ev-
cry conceivable fabric and tested and
retested until the invention has become
an important commercial success. The
paper yarn has extraordinary wearing
properties, and as the full scope of its
usefulness has probably not been deter
mined 1t will, in all likelihood, lend
itself to other purposes yet to be dis
oovarad"

1t took two minutes to draw up the

was presented to Magistrate Barlow.
Rothstein pleaded that he had only just
stopped at the corner and that he had
asSyet sold no umbrellas.

Rothstein knew that zone" day means

Hurry! Hurry" urged the prisoner.
The prison clock indicated 3 80 when
the door opened and Lowe and his pris-
oner entered. Rothstein started In to
give his pedigree rapidly, never losing
sight Of the clock. He said he was "a
years old, born in Russia and that he
lived at 198 East Third street. The
clock struck as he finished the cate
chism and keeper unlocked the street
door. Rothstein hurried out and ran
up the street In an effort to catch

LondOns 1O1 Parks.

One Of the most useful activities OF
the London County Council has been in
the extension of the park system of the
metropolis, which now includes, under
the management of the Council, nearly
5000 acres.
The requirement and development
has cost about fS,5OO,0OO, and the an
nual charge for maintenance comes to
f565,OO0, which adds about a half pen
ny in the pound to the rates, or about
two-tenths of per cent. The cost in
cludes the salaries of an outdoor staff
of S43 men and women.
The Council came into existence in
1889, and succeeded to the metropolitan
board Of public works in the care of
the parks, but of course with larger
powers. In all fifty-seven new parks
have been added since then out of the
total that come under the Councils
management.-Park and Cemetery.

The Sedan-ChafP.

Perhaps some expert in the Siamese
language will tell us what is its word
for "sedan-chair." When the King of
Slams minister, protesting against his
majesty's favor toward motoring, sug-
gested recently that "the royal sedan
chair" was always at his disposal, 1t is
improbable that he used a word remi-
niscent Of the French town. For 1t is
from the scene Of Napoleon Ills col
lapse that the sedan-chair takes its
name, and perhaps remote posterity
will suppose that it had some connec-
tion with that event But Sedan first
produced these conveyances centuries
ago, and they were seen in England In
1881. One used by James rs Bucking-
ham provoked great popular outcry
against the employment Of men as
beasts Of burden. Sir S. Duncombe is
credited with having introduced them
to London In 1854. And Bath knows
the Pickwickian sedan-chair to this day.
