Eeims' Rare Tapestries.

One feels the interior of Reims ca
theiral to he immense without search
ing The gllidebOok for actual figures Of
length and height. One feels it to be
splendid without looking at the detail
Of the pillars, with their gilded capt
tails, the lofty yaulting of the roof, the
choir spacious within its simple grille,
the windows burning with royal fires
fires lighted in the thirteenth century,
when stained glass reached its full
beauty-the tapestries glowing even in
their faded glory. These tapestries al
ways seemed to me the distinctive fea-
ture of Reims, the last touch of mag
niGcence to cathedral already mag
niGccnt. They hang all along the aisles
Of. each side Of the nave-Gobelin
tapestries, Perpersack tapestries, tapes
tries rarely seen anywhere nowadays
save safely stored in museums. 1t Is
like the sumptuousness of Reims to
display them as If they were as entire
~ part of itself as the sculptures Of
the facade, the angels and monsters Of
the apse.-Elizabeth Robins Pennell In

Blue Eyed Babies.

1t IS pity that all babies born with
the prospect of being adopted out Of
an orphan asylum are not blessed
with blue eyes. Most persons who
wish to adopt children show prefer
euce for the blue eyed variety.
They seem to Think" said the ma
tron of one such institution, that blue
eyeSglve promise of great intelligence,
honesty and general stability of char
acter. That is pretty hard on the
youngsters with eyes of brown, black,
gray or hazel. Undoubtedly those chill
dren will grow up to be just as worthy
citizens as the blue eyed tots, but it Is
impossible to make most of the pro.
spective parents-ln-law believe so.
They have been Influenced by the ar.
guments of certain half baked scien-
tifc writer's who claim that all the vir-
tues are found in blue eyes, and the
dark eyed children, no matter what
their parentage, suffer from the dis
crimination."- York Sun.

The Old Warminu Pan.

"Yes, that is a fine specimen of the
old brass warming pam" said an anna
tour collector of antiques, quoted by
the Philadelphia Record, "but it hangs
Oh the wall from this time on. 1t will
not be brought into requisition for ac-
tual warming purposes again. Is too
good" Then he added contemplative
ly: "My daughter thought it would re-
new the ancient flavor of things to put
that warming pan to use. SO on one
Of the coolest nights Of the winter she
filed the pan end with live Goals, shut
the lid and put the pan into one of the
beds. In little while the house was
filed with smoke, which, on being
traced to its origin, was found to come
from the bed, which was aflre. With
a few olden time wood embers these
warming pans were all right, but with
live anthracite they simply overdo the
Job. We put out the fire, but, as | say,
from this time on the warming pan
hangs on the wall empty"

PEAR BLIGHT.
Methods Employed to Overcome Thfa
Disastrous Disease.

Disastrous pear blight in California
fs the subject of an article in Amer
lean Agriculturist by r. L. Adams,
California experiment station, who
says: The eastern orchard man has
known and fought this terrible blight
for hundred years and still grows
pears, especially in Massachusetts and
around the lakes in New York, but the
eastern grower cannot appreciate the
awful damage being done by this same
disease to the pear industry of Cali
fornia.
The trees are grown on rich, moist
land in blocks of 800 to 10000. Here
they make a heavy growth, and severe
pruning IS then practlced to promote
fruting and to obtain desirable
shape. The trees have Il long growing
season and under these conditions
make a heavy, sappy, soft growth and
throw out numerous suckers, condi-
ton very favorable to the blight
Body Blight Prevalent.
The worst feature of the situation IS
the prevalence of butt or body blight,
an unusually wet, rainy spring having
been conducive to the formation OF
suckers on trunk and root. 10 pre-
serve the trees during the last growing
season meant continual cutting away
of diseased twigs and the removal or
suckers as fast as they formed-a ire
mendous Job But the only orchards III
decent shape are those where just THIS
care and attention were bestowed.
To Reduce Production of Wood.
The methods followed consist IN
complete clearing out of the blight
from all parts of the tree, especially
from the butts and roots, where the
bulk Of the holdover exists. This OFTEN
requires a large removal Of bark, but
the trees seem to suffer no Ill effects
This work must be done before growth
starts which is early in March.
As soon as blossoming begins man
or two are kept in the orchard cutting
out all twigs as fast as they become
blightcd. The greatest stress IS LAID on
this spring and summer work.
Less cultivating and plowing, sowing
with alfalfa or grain, no pruiiihS VI
very little, less irrigating and, In short
anything that will reduce the produc-
ton Of wood is being advocated. JUST
how much can be done IS an indiVltual
nroblcm. however, it being manifestly
