The Japan walnut has been grown
with considerable success on the
grounds Of the Michigan experiment
station, from which this branch was
taken.
Of subtropical appearance. While
they develop most rapidly upon q rich
loan soil. such as Is commonly known
as black walnut land, they thrive un-
der almost any condition, provided
there is q fair amount Of plant food
and moisture in the soil.
The trees come into bearing when
planted three or four years. and from
that time bear continuously, II given
good care. The nuts are produced in
large panicled clusters and somewhat
resemble the common butternut, or
white walnut. except that they are
slightly smaller and more nearly
ovate In form. They crack very read
lily and the kernels are easily removed
from the shells. They lack the strong
flavor of the butternut, and on this
account would be preferred by most
persons, although 1t does not com.
pare with the hickory nut, pecan and
other mats.
The luxuriant growth, handsome 70
liage. and the hardness OF the tree
make 1t very promising as an orna
mental tree, and the productiveness
and edible qualities Of the nuts give
to It additional value.

INTERESTING JApAAEsE WALNUT
Prof. I. r. Tan, Of Michigan, Tells Of
. Valuable Tree.

Some Is years ago new nut tree
was introduced, under the name OF
Japan walnut, or Juglans Sieboldiana-
Although not very commonly planted,
It has been quite thoroughly tested
in all of the northern states. The tree
Is Of rapid growth. with thick branch
es and very large leaves. In q gen.

butternut. but Is of more luxuriant
growth. The trees appear to be en-
tirerly hardy and present something

Dsdsteads No Longer Simple Frame

some Ones Of Mahogany
Household Lore.

The time has gone by when the bed.
stead was a simple framework. 1t has
developed from a skeleton of plain
wood or iron into magnificent and
expensive piece of furniture, and now
adays people choose their bedsteads
with care. The nickel sort has never
proved popular on account Of its cold
appearance AS the bedstead Is the
largest piece of furniture, 1t naturally
has the most to do in giving the room
. furnished appearance. Nickel bed
steads are only At for a summer home,
where everything should look cool and
refreshing.
Brass is the best to get in metal
bedstead II one can afford-it. It has q
rich, warm look. The patterns differ
little, but each season finds an Inn
provement In the finish. The best bed
steads are not of solid brass. They
have iron supporters running through
each separate rod, and this gives the
frame stability.
Although metal bedsteads are con-
sidered more sanitary by many, they
can never be made SO handsome as
some of the wooden ones. Nor can
they give such an appearance OF COM
fort. One of the handsomest bed
steads is Of mahogany. 1t lends an air
of solid comfort to a bedroom.
Twin bedsteads of metal or wood are
the proper things now. 1t is healthier
to sleep alone.
Serving Salads.
Now that most of the fresh vegeta-
bles have gone, salad is more well
come than ever at dinner. Kidney
beans mixed with mayonnaise dress
ing and served on lettuce leaves makes
an excellent salad for a light dinner.
A few cranberries cut in halves add
to the appearance Of apple and celery
salad. Only a few cranberries should
be used, for they are very sour.
Grape fruit for salad is better IL
broken into small pieces instead Of the
usual sections. Combined with nuts
and garnished with watercress, 1t Is
very good. This may be served in the
half skins, II the salad is to be sepa-
rate course.
! Macaronl Rarebit.
For macaroni rarebit take half cup
full Of boiled macaroni that has been
cut into small pieces. Put half cup
full Of milk into a saucepan. stir In
quickly the yolks of three eggs, a cup
full Of American cheese either grated
or broken into small pieces, a gener.
GUS tablespoonful of butter, salt, pep
per. and lastly the macaroni. Stir the
mixture over the fire until the cheese
has melted; then serve on hot but.
tered toast.
Cleaning Steel Knives.
Steel dinner knives should be cleaned
every time they are used. otherwise
they will look black and dull. Bristol
brick with soap Is the best thing to
use. Let the blade of the knife rest
nat upon board, and rub the steel
with a bit Of soaped cloth dipped in
the brick reduced to powder. Some
housekeepers use a small potato for
cleaning knives instead of cloth. II
the blades have become rusted, cover
them with olive oil and quicklime. Put
away for two or three days. then rub
with brick.

New York.-How Pastor Wagner's
heart would rejoice could he take q
peep inside the Waldorf-Astoria when
the two pretty Stallo girls are there!
The simple life at this caravansary
of the very rich? To be sure! And.
mind you. the two young sisters, 16
and Is, are the richest girls in their
own right in all Cincinnati.
What's more, some day they will
own a big slice of the Standard Oil
company, somthing like $15.000.000
worth. ....
These two charming young girls,
despite their great wealth, live accord
ing to rule They rise by rule, eat by
rule, study by rule, play by rule and
retire by rule. Every moment of their
time is regulated with the nicely of
clockwork.
In word, they are being brought
up with the idea that great wealth
brings great responsibilities, even for
young women. And all their work and
play is directed along these lines.

Breakfast over, their morning hours
are devoted to study and to recitation.
The governess instructs them In
everything they are to know In a gen.
eral way, and there are special teach
ers who come daily for music and the
languages.
1t delights their grandfather that
both his wards are so musical. Both
play the piano with ease and finished
technique, and both show more than
the average talent. They are at home
equally we'll with guitar and mandolin,
and their duets are Joy to the old

Their course OF study Is Just what
any girl in public school would be
expected to take. The list is laid
down and adhered to rigidly, whether
the girls like 1t or not.
Especially is attention given to the
languages. The girls have been sent
to Italy to study Italian under native
teachers. They have learned French
in Paris and German in Berlin and
Munich. This plan of learning the
foreign languages on their native
heaths has proved highly successful.
Miss Laura and Miss Helena speak

STORE IS BURNED.
R. T. Shreve & Go. at GreenvilIe Are
 the Losers.

Greenville, November S.-(Special.)-- The store of R. T. Shreve & Go. was entirely destroyed by fire yesterday morning at 1 o'clock. The interior was burning fiercely when discovered and the. front wall fell soon after the fire companies reached the scene. It was impossible to save the building or con- tents. but the adjacent buildings were protected. A large warehouse in the rear and J. w. Angles grocery store adjoining the burning building were in grave danger, but were dama ged very little. The large plate glass fronts of c. c. Stewards drug store and J. H. Dunklins hardware, imme- diately opposite. were badly broken by the intense heat.
 Only few days since Mir. R. T. Shreve took stock in order to sell his brother an interest in the business. It invoiced a few hundred dollars more than S24.000. On this stock they car ried $15.000 insurance. The building was of brick and valued at $3500. Two thousand dollars insurance was carried on that.
 The origin of the fire is mystery. The owners will rebuild as soon as possible.

This show will give its per- formances in this city under the aus pices of the Elks and Eagles lodges, and this Is a guarantee that the show will be a good one. MT. Foster, the ad- vance agent has been in the city for the past few days, making arrangements for it's coming At first there were 8 good many objections to the snow com in.y to the city just at this time and a petition was circulated among the busi- ness men regarding 1t. The petition was signed by about 150 men and was pre- scented to the council on Tuesday even ing. The council could not see the mat ter in the same light that the people who signed the petition saw it, and 1t was granted. The show has guaranteed to give each one of the lodges certain amount of the proceeds, and 1t Is thought that the show will be a great success It has been advertised extensively and there is no reason why 1t should not be attended by large crowds.

Children Burn To Death,

Decatur. November S.-(Special.)- Lying dead upon the floor and burned beyond recognition two negro children, aged 5 and ? yeaes, respectively, were found by the mother, Nellie Daniels, late this afternoon when she returned home from the field where she had been at work while the children were left alone in the cabin home on the Ed Garrett place in Limestone county, twu miles from Decatur. A wood fire was burning in the open fireplace and it is supposed the children's clothing caught from the fire.
