Doubtful Authority.

A Scotch minister and his friend
coming home from wedding began to.
consider the state in which their pota-
tions at the feast had left them.

a minute till I go ahead. Perhaps 1
don't walk steady and the guild wife,
might remark something not just
right"
He walked ahead for short distance.

"How Is 1t? Am 1 walking
straight"

Lacing Defeats Its object.

The wasp waist supplies topic of
conversation every spring. An author
ity on dress says American girls who,
though far from being on the high
road to obesity, insist on nipping their
waist in, achieve exactly the opposite
effect from that they seek. 1t is not
only fostering a dangerous practice,
but it actually detracts from wo-
mans appearance, and, strange as it
may sound, even increases the aspect
of embonpoint, she asserts.
1t will please the fair ones to hear
that, their efforts to wear the new
French corsets as Paris says they
should be worn should meet with such
golden opinions.

NEW APPLE


the State experiment station, is not
only beauty, but has other good quail
ties. The apples are sometimes deeper
on one side than the other, but gen.
orally quite symmetrical. The weight
seems to average fraction above half
a pound. Other points are:
Color, deep purplish redsy sometimes
completely so, again only or largely on
the exposed side; striped, with deeper
purple and pale waxen yellow; when
fully ripe, with ocher yellow, the stripes
contracting and extending into the cav
ity at the calyx end; marked with evil
dent ocher yellow dots, these becoming
especially conspicuous where the pur-
plish red is deepest; region about the
calyx end sometimes extensively waxen
yellow.
Flesh white at first, becoming creamy
when thoroughly ripe; flavor not strik-
ing, but pleasant; subacid; skin rather
tough, thus calculated to protect it
from insect and fungous injury and to
render it a good shipper. Ripe Sept.
%. While it is adapted only. for fall
use, it ripens at time when few ap-
pies as good are in a condition for
the table, the early ones being long
gone and the late ones not yet sutfi-
ciently ripe. It keeps very well, be-
coming finally in October mellow and
agreeable as an eating apple. 1t cooks

AFTER January, L, 1908, no more third
grade certificates will be granted in
North Dakota. which means that the
lowest standard of school teachers will
have to pass the examination now requir-
ed for secondlgrade certificates. There
will be two grades of certificates only,
first and second. Gradually but surely
the standards of requirements of teahers
in the schools of this state have been
raised during the past few years and the
school boards require better qualification
than in the past. Many of the rural
distrits in fact now demand that a teach.
er be a graduate, or have spent some time
in a normal school. On the other HAND
it is also we'll to note that the salaries
paid teachers in rural districts have in.
creased proportionately, the average run.
ming from s45 to $55 per month Some
attribute the increase in amount of wages
paid to the scarcity of teachers, while the
the real reason no doubt is the highe,
state of efficiency required.
