Ann is Popular Name fer Brides.

Philadelphia Bulletin.
 Ann was the most popular name for brides this year. The Maggies. the Marys. the Rates. and the Rosies, all of whom have in past years carried off the honor, must bow to Ann. Thomas c. Smith, the application has for years kept record of the most popular names of brides, and th.s year his records show that there have been more brides with Ann as a handle to their names and surnames than any other.
 Katie carries of second honors. and Mary. once so popular, drifted way back to the seventh place. Last year Mag gie won first place, but this year she takes third place.
 Mir. Smith places the ten most popu- lar brides of 1907 fin their respective standing as follows: Ann, Kate, Mag gie. Elizabeth, Sarah. Carrie, Mary, Rosa. Emma. and Clara.

The Rapid Increase of Suicide.

The WOrlO' 1oudy'
 The suicide rate of New York State had become, in 1900, 35 times what it was in 1860; by 1904 this multiplier had risen to 4. Indiana's rate, although generally lower than any of the oth CTS, is increasing more rapidly than any of lem. From 1860 to 1900 it had multi piled itself by 3 2-3. In four years more this ratio had risen to Is. In other words, during each of the first four years of the new century, Indi- ana's suicide rate had increased by an amount almost equal to the entire suicide rate for 1860. It Is to be re- tnembered, too, that this refers, not to the number of suicides, which would naturally increase with increasing pop ulation, but to the number per thous- and of population.
 During the first four year of the cen tury, Boston, along among the cities, showed a decrease in suicide rate. Yet from even this oasis in the desert of despair comfort is denied us, for the result was even then 80 per cent higher than 1t had been in 1880.

 A Brooklyn physician suffered a hor- rible death by half-swallow:ng. a cork which he drew from small vial with his teeth. A Hartford lawyer was choked to death with a fish bone. A Jersey City plumber went crazy when a tooth was knocked down his throat by a falling gratebar. An olive pit lodged in a woman5s ear and caused her to commit suicide. A cambric nee dle pierced a little girls heart and she d.ed in ten minutes. A boy racing with a small tin Christmas horn in his mouth stumbled; the horn tore out his hard palate, or the roof of his mouth. and he died in three hours. A baby of two years fell into a tub of scaIding water and died in five hours.

This Is from The Hartford Times:

At the annual banquet of the Hotel Mems Association in New York last night. Simeon Ford expressed the hope mat the next occupant of the White House might be a deaf mute who had writer's cramp. A unanimous vote in favor of this proposition would prob ably be cast by the hotel-keepers of the country if the opportunity to vote on it were afforded. They all know what Roosevelt prosperity" means.
 The sentiment may have been all right. but does MT. Ford believe that deafness. dumbness and paralysis could keep Roosevelt from saying things?

 There is an excellent phrase in the letter MT. Cleveland wrote for the Jack son banquet in New York. He said Our country needs conservatism. recu- peration from nervous prostration.> re- instatement of constitutional obserV- ance," eteI "Nervous prostration" de- scribes the malady admirably. We are not suffering from financial prostra- ton. We have not been losing a great into a highly nervous condition by the Rough Rider in the White House.- Philadelphia Record,
 Nervous prostration" serves well as a description of the affection brought upon the public. but. in The Telegraph s opinion, St. Vitus' dance is the precise term to apply to the pernicious and our noisest "reformers," who also sug- gest whirling dervishes in their in- ability to compel themselves to halt until they drop from exhaustion
 There are good things in the passage in Mir. Clevelshd's letter referred to, which. :n full. reads as follows:
 T am profoundly impressed by the fronting the people of our land has directed their attention more to their relief from conditions that alarm and startle them than to the empty satis- faction or partisan supremacy. Our country needs conservatism, recupera- tion from conFtitutsonal observance buoyant put none the less sare and prudent Americanism, scrupulous care of every person and every interest en- titled to care, and a square deap that means exact and honest equality before the law and under constitutional guar anty.
 "These things are still among the possessions of true Democracy, and Democratic patriotism. sincerity and wisdom demand that our party In this time of need should unitedly offer them to our countrymen."
 We may add that in our humble opinion. what the country Is now most in need of Is enlightened conservatism of the Cleveland brand.

The fashionable petticoat not only flts
tightly throughout its length. but Il
lacks the flare at the bottom which
has been fashionable so long. II is
now necessary to strike happy mean
between the aforesaid flare and the
uncomfortable sinking in around the
feet which is so Objectionable In q

achieve this happy compromise is to
have the foundation Of the skirt--that

that has some body, such as a soft
taffeta, and the trimming, II It be in
the shape Of a flounce, made Of softer
material-lace, chiffon or an inter-
mingling Of both. Satin is, of course,
softer than taffeta, and the flounce
though lingerie and chiffon flounces
are even more fashionable.
Satin petticoats for evening wear
are made with flounces of net trimmed
with filet lace, or the founces instead
Of being trimmed with lace, have a pat
tern formed of narrow satin or velvet
ribbon made on the lace. A very effec-
tive pattern made on a fiounce Of open
net was Of squares or blocks, the rib

Petticoats for street wear are made

packed away, SO it's we'll to be pre-
pared.

knitted or crocheted scarfs, but worn

three times the size of the ordinary
spools are to be had for these scarfs,
so that the silk will not have to be
Joined anywhere. Made up In white
or any light shade the motor scarfs
are most attractive and are to be
worn by men as well as women to
protect the collar from the dye of a
fur coat. They are from four to six
inches In width and about yard In
length. A two-inch fringe of the silk
makes an attractive finish to this
smart scarf.

Newest White Waists.

The newest and smartest white
waists are made of crepe de chine,
tucked or gathered or plated quite
like those of lingerie, and sometimes
decorated with lace or hand embroi
derry. Such waists are being worn by
all the fashionable Parisiennes in
place of the lace or lingerie waists,
and are considered decidedly more
chic. Usually they are made up over
lining of thin taffeta or china silk
which gives them the necessary
body" Without some such aid the
crepe de chine waist clings rather I'M
pleasantly to the figure, revealing un-
beautiful angles quite as readily and
unkindly as a superhuity of flesh
and somehow lacking the air of smart
ness that one instinctively looks for

Moisture and Mold Destroy Corn.

The drying OF corn for seed involves
but a few simple principles. If the
corn is to be exposed to freezing
temperature, 1t must be dried out suf,
ficiently so that there will not be left
in the germ enough moisture to ex.
pand and rupture the cell walls, when
1t swells in the freezing process. II
II is not to be exposed to freezing
temperature II must also be dried
sufficiently to prevent mold starting.
This mold destroys the germ in an
other way, sending its mycelium into
It to eat through the cell walls and
destroy the very substance.

LACE scARFs FOR THE NECK.
Provide Protection for the Decorations
Of the Throat.

One Of the dress difficulties Of the
year is the discoloring of white neck
filings by the black furs which are
so much worn. A silk or lace scarf
Of some kind, to protect the white COL
lar or guimpe, is almost necessity.
Small silk lace scarfs can be had
in almost any size and quality for this
purpose, and the mousseline, crepe
and silk scarfs are also serviceable.
Such scarf is small, covering only
the back and sides of the collar. the
ends tucking inconspicuously down in
the coat front.
Knitted silk scarfs in pale colors
and white have come in this year for
this purpose. They have silk-fringed
ends and look very well, besides amply
protecting the spotlessness Of the
throat decorations.

fertility than was taken out of the
soil Even those plants do not have
more fertility than what came out OF
the soil, unless little knots are found
on the roots. which knots are known
as nodules. In these nodules are lit.
tie plants called bacteria, which take
free nitrogen gas from the air and
make It into a form Of nitrogen that

content. This must be understood by
every person that raises crop to
