The Cameo PopuIar-

Canoes to be with us to stay.
According to a recent fashion note,
they are even being utilized for the
drop earrings that are fashionable lust
at present, and the dainty effects are
to be found in large and small pins,
in belt buckles and in bracelets. Per-
haps there is no more effective use
for the cameo than In a bracelet set
in jet or old gold. One beautiful de-
sign noted in n of the shops recently
was wide carved jet setting for a most
~delicately carved cameo. Then there
are large brooches which are exquis-
itely outlined, and even hatpins. That
the cameo Is extremely popular is
demonstrated by the many limitations,
some of them exceedingly good, which
are to be found.

Oldest Princeton Graduate.

If DR.. James Curtis Hepburn of Or.

Princeton this June, he will celebrate
the seventy-sixth anniversary of his
graduation from college. He received
his diploma in 1882, was graduated in
medicine at the University of Pennsyl-
vania in 1886 and is Princeton's old
est alumnus. He recently passed his
n~inety-third birthday. OF the 1887

and 1888 have no survivors. OF these
Isl graduates only eight are classed
in the records as business men.

An orchard, located near Amherst,
o., vas selected for the experiment,
the part of it used consisting of about
1875 trees set on about II acres of
ground. These trees average 20 feet
OF in height and have an equal
spread of top. Some sections of the
orchard were slightly infested with
San Jose scale, and, late last winter,
it was carefully sprayed by the own
ers with ~lime-sulphur wash. Hence,
no spraying with Bordeaux mixture
before blooming was deemed neces-
sary. Regular Bordeaux treatments
had been given for several summers
prior to the present one, therefore the
orchard was quite free from scab. The
sod-mulch system of culture has been
followed and wormy gapples were said
to have been quite numerous the pre-
ceding year, the owners estimating
that fully 40 OF SO per cent. of the
crop would have been wormy at har-
vest if the trees had been left IN
sprayed.
The spraying outfit consisted Of a
gasoline power pump and a $50 gal
Ion tank mounted on trucks. A suit
able tower, built on the trucks and
carrying al elevated platform from
which the tallest trees could be cas-
lily reached, added to the convenience
and efficiency of the apparatus. Bam-
boo extension rods ten feet long we're
used. Each rod was terminated by a
cluster of four vermorel nozzles. To
compare the value of the coarse driv-
Ing sprays with those ordinarily used,
q set of worn vermorel caps were
drilled out until the orifices were yet
further enlarged and these were used
n comparison with new medium caps.

The Outdoor Girls Gloves.

Unless you are a typical outdoor girl
with a large income, do not invest in
chamois skin gloves for summer. The
athletic girl who drives a great deal
likes this large loose glove for rough
wear, hut they are not a good invest
ment for the typical summer girl. They
make the hand look large, and while
they wash as clerks guarantee they
will, like the chamois skin you use
for cleaning windows, they have weak
spots and wash through on the latter.
A good silk glove is a far better in.
vestment, but do not be inveigled into
buying brilliant blues, greens, puppies
and rose colors to match your silk or
linen frock. White or soft shade of
tan are in better taste; black gloves
are hot in summer and should be worn
by those in mourning only.

do much to give a high percentage

BY III. H. Gross, Secretary Farm
ers' Good Roads League.

There Is one division of the United
States department of agriculture, es-
tablished by congress a few years ago
and known as the office of public
roads, devoted to the betterment of
the highways. The chief of this di-
vision Is Mr.. Logan Waller Page of
Massachusetts, an experienced and
practical road builder, who has made
a careful and exhaustive study of the
subject.
The object of this Office Is to show
the people how to construct roads in
the proper way, and to this end OBJ
ject lesson roads are built in various
parts of the country, In this manner
the people learn how to spend road
funds to the best advantage, which
tends to counterfeit the enormous
waste that for years has been going
on in every state in the union.
Although badly handicapped by in.
adequate appropriations, 9 vast
amount of work has already been &C.
complished. Scientific tests Of vari
GUS road materials r made in the
laboratory especially designed for thai
work; observations taken as to the
actual results of various methods OF

sion, rutting, etc, how to obtain the

loan and clay soils, ETC., in fact, it il

CUSHIONS FOR SUMMER DIVANs.
Ftiet Covers Are Pretty and by No
Means Hard to Make.

The woman who does not confne
the cushions of her summer divans en-,
tirely to madras and washable Cottons
should have one of the new filet pillow
covers which are much easier to make
than they look.
The pillows should be quite small
and fiat, about the size used in baby
coaches and the covers made of alter.
nate squares of filet and hand embroi.
dered linen, edged with CIuny lace,
should button on that they may be
often washed.
Select for the linen squares an open,
dominates; use only enough of the
satin stitch to make stems or a few
dots. Do not have too much work
on these squares; the main thing is to
have them quite open to show the col
ored silk or mercerized pillow cover
beneath.
Even easier is one of the covers
made from an entire filet square that
just fits the pillow. The cover may
be alike on both sides, or, if chat is
too expensive, the underside may be
of sheer lawn or of inexpensive filet
net.
Some of the imitation filet squares
are very good looking and if dyed with
tea to a creamy tint will make charm
ing sofa pillows at comparatively little
cost.
Sometimes these covers are finished
with a narrow overcasted seam; more
often they have an edge of Cluny put
on fiat, without gathering. The COM
bination Of these two laces is particu.
larly effective.

For each n of the rods a crook was
made from one-fourth inch gas pipe.
When attached to the extension
rod, the bent end makes an an
gle Of about 25 degrees with the pole.
Each end of the crook Is threaded,
n end to connect with the rod by
means of a gas coupling, the other to
screw into the head of the nozzle clus-

to better direct the spray into the cal
ices of the blossoms and also to more
readily reach the undersides of the
lower branches by turning the rod so
that the spray is thrown upward. Fig
