Cixie's Land,

The phrase Dixie" or "Dixie's
Land" is supposed to be derived from
one Dizzy, kind hearted slave owner
on Manhattan Island in the latter part
Of the eighteenth century. His treat
ment Of his negroes caused them to
regard his plantation c'Di1y'sO as lit
tie short of an earthly paradise. and
when any Of the slaves were taken
away from their old home they were
always pining for "Dixy's" and singing
and talking of its Joys. When slavery
moved southwark. the same ideal Of
"Dixy's" was taken along. and in the
course of time. its origin being forgot
ten. 1t was applied to the southern
homes of the negroes. - New York

This Encouraging Report Is
Made at Horticultural
Meeting.
FULL CROP OF CHERRIES.
ALTHOUGH FROST INJURED BUDS
THERE is LITTLE FEAR FOR
FULL CROP-TIME OF SPRAY
ING CONTINUED.

Horticulturists of the county report
ed at the meeting Of the Horticultural
Society Saturday afternoon, that about
twenty per cent. of the buds on the
cherry trees have been killed. AL
though this represents one fifth of the
apparent production, no fear is eX-
pressed for any but full crop. There
was notwithstanding Of the trees this
year and a consequent lack OF vital
ity to mature all fruit. Enough is eX-
pected to remain uninjured to equal
the capacity Of the trees when the
time to ripen comes.
No serious damage to fruits Of any
kind was reported. Too much rain
was reported as having retarded farm
work and farmers and gardeners are
at least ten days behind in their work
for the season of the year Some
wheat was reported to have turned
yellow from the effects of the cOntin-
ued rains and hail.
The general topic for discussion by
the society members yesterday after
noon was fruit tree spraying" 1t was
sought TO ascertain by discussion the
most advisable time to apply the APP
piications of poisonous solutions to
fruit trees, vines and bushes. 1t was
agreed that Immediately after the fall
Of the blossoms, the bordeaux solution
with arsenic added, is the most advis-
able. This is to be followed by sec
ond spraying in ten days and third
about the first of June. This sOlu-
ton will destroy the attack of the
coddling moth, curculio, scales, rusts
and injurious insects and diseases that
hamper the production of good fruits.
AS the preparation Of solutions is at
tended with some trouble and difficult
ty, an arrangement was made for the
preparations that will be used by the
members Immediately.
The next meeting of the society will
be the strawberry meeting. 1t will
be held at the home of Frank Clark,
321 North Eleventh street. Mrs. Mat
tie King will read an essay. There
are indications for plenty of berries
and no chance of any cause for a fail
ure of the supply of this fruit.

BEATING THE LAW.
Sunday Travellers and Inns and Tav-
erns In Scotland.

There Is law In Scotland generous
to travellers. That law grants them
the privilege Of all taverns and inns
during prohibition hours. Thus if you
arrive in Edinburgh on a Sunday, hav-
ing Travelled, say, from Glasgow, your
innkeeper is bound to serve you with
any sort OF alcoholic refreshment, al
belt the native of Aud Reekie must
fret and starve his Sawbath away on
ginger ale, memories and the auroral
promise Of tomorrow. But the law is
merc!ful. He that hath journeyed
three miles IS a traveller within the
meaning Of the act
Consequently there is a vast array Of
travellers leaving Edinburgh on foot,
on coaches. pony carriages, etc. for
the trains run not.
They all seek to constitute them
selves as travellers. Just within the
three mile limit, as far as Edinburgh Is
concerned, lies the historic village of
Corstorphine.
A traveller arrives from Edin burgh
He knocks at the door of the village
inn. He is wearied by his long walk.
He Is In sore straits.
The door is opened timidly, cautious
ly, and a voice is heard. who is it,"
"a ira veler,'' is the weary answer.
''Whaur do We come from -
II come from Edinburgh" is the an
sweI.
"rhen We Gamma come in. It's against
the law"
The door is banged ruthlessly.
The traveller thinks awhile. Your
Scotsman thinks slowly, but very
surely.
After deliberation he knocks again.
The formula Is gone through.
"Whaur do We come
'Frae Leith," answers the traveller
quickly.
Then We may come in. Why did ye
nae tell the truth at frst?'

Many Women Favor

The vogue Of the uDlined frOck has

sip must be very carefully fitted and,
Of course, there are limitations IN the
designing OF such a frOck.

makers assure shapeliness for these by

Gentle Speech

Girls Should Train Voice

Gentleness Of speech as well as OF
manner is one Of the most attractive
attributes a young girl may have. She
IS neither Insignificant nor colorless
simply because her tongue lacks edge.
II she tries TO see good in everyone
ana 20 interpret the actions of others
in a kind way the atmosphere takes on
an ease most grateful TO all.
Other girls may tease and call her
good" but in their secret hearts they
are glad OF her gentleness. and they
leave her presence without fear of be-
ing torn TO bits. metaphoricany speak
ing, afterward-
Making other people a subject of coB-
versation is lever p good thing. how
ever great the temptation. If a girl
chooses to let herself go in talking With
intimate friends. she will comment and
critcise, though the latter may have
been furtheSt from her thoughts As
10 one is perfect and the manners OF
the most puncttliOuS may sometimes
lapse, there is never lack Of Opportu-
nifty for this. and In thinking IL over
later it viii be found that things better
left unsaid were uttered.

in this kind Of thing If she remembers
that without doubt comments very sim

others were KIND enough TO 1OrDedr-
It is quite bad enough to DISCUSS indi-
viduals in private, but far worse is IL
10 talk personalities when in a public
place. The frequency with which girls
may be heard in street cars, at the play,
and other like places, discussing the
private affairs Of others. calling them
by names, is appalling No end of Cos

There was no lowering of their voices

speak quietly and gently Is in itself
charming, but to talk in public in such

cess that It is wholly impossible TO ig-
more nowadays.
1t is the fashion to say every one is
bad-mannered. and, alas. it is quite
possible to be atrociously rude in some
ways. and yet be popular. but there are
one or two things one cannot do with
any hope Of achieving social distinction
or even being merely tolerated. These
things are hidden, however, from those
who fondly imagine they can initiate
all the faults OF society with impunity.
