Pertaining to Peaches

"Peaches are raised and nurtured in all parts of the country but it is generally agreed that the most tempted kind comes from the blue grass region Of kentucky' says a writer in Success.
 "California peaches are used largely by customers They are soft and tender to the touch, rather large and flowery, and are very sweet.
 ..The New England peach is often hard and sour. Some varieties, however, have splendid flavor The best preserve peaches come from New England.
 "The New York peach is always of the clingstone variety. It is almost impos- sible to separate the peach from the stone.
 .,Dur annual crop of peaches, while very expensive to raise (and constantly grow ing more sol, gives employment to thou sands of men, who labor night and day to keep the peaches up to the standard
 ''The points of a peach are not under stood by all. Those who are interested in their culture should carefully observe the following rules:
 "Peaches should be handled with gloves.
 .They should never be picked when green, but only when they begin to LOOK good enough to eat.
 "Every peach should be well wrapped Great care. however, should be taken not to squeeze too hard. The pressure should be uniform.
 "Peaches should be kept from glaring light. When testing them turn down the gas'

Welfare Department of Ma
 tional Federation

Mrs Medill Mccormick of Chicago, whose curious experience in the settle ments of the stock yards of that city, made last winter, has been prompted to organize what is to be known as the Welfare Department of the National Civic Federation
 The beneficient touch of woman's hand is to be given in this organized ana practical way to the betterment Of the conditions of the workers of the country
 The idea is that every section of the country shall be covered and It's pur- nose in keeping with that of the parent body-"to organize the best brains or the nation in an educational movement to- ward the solution of some of the great problems related to social and industriai progress; to provide for the study ana discussion of questions of national ifn- port; to aid thus in the specialization or the most enlightened public opinion when desirable to promote legislation in ac- cordance herewith"
 Mrs. Mccormick Is a daughter or the late Senator Hanna himself large em- ployer, and a man who went Tar Tn pro- viding sanitary and comfortable cohoi- tions of employment for his men. The senator became interested in the Natlonaf Civic Federation. and it was his sym pathy, encouragement, and practical sug- gestions that gave to the federation the solid foundation upon which 1t has since built. Mrs. Mccormick became interested in welfare work through her fathers de- votion to it, and both in Cleveland her old home, and in Chicago, where she has been identified with movements in- tended to improve the standard of living and morality among the working classes. It became evident to her, however, that the methods which were being pursued could be improved; that they failed to accomplish as much as they might.
 Among those interested in the work with Mrs. Mccormick are MT. Ralph M Easley, chairman of the executive coun- ell and Miss Gertrude Beeks, secretary of the Welfare Department of the Ma tional Civic Federation, Mrs. J. Borden Hartman. and Miss Ann Morgan, daughter of MT. J. Pierpont Morgan
 It is the physical well-being of the worker in which the department is par ticularly interested. There is no man in the world who can do welfare work as well as a woman for the reason that 1t partakes of the nature of housekeeping. This work, it is hoped, will lead first to the betterment of the condition of the working classes generally. Then it is proposed to go into business of pro- yiding sanitary houses and sell them on the installment plan to the wage earn CTS so that in five years they will havr their own homes.
 Amusement clubs will be organized and through them higher standard of so- cial life will be developed. Various other plans are under consideration, but exper- iments will be made at first in order that before putting them into effect gem erally those which do not promise satis- factory returns may be weeded out It is believed by Mrs. Mccormick and those associated with her that, properly exe- cuted the system they have inaugurated win render the greatest possible service to the country.

.LONDON'S REMAINS
 ARRIVE TONIGHT Funeral Arrangements Are Az
 Yet Undecided VICTIM OF HEART TROUBLE Birmingham Bar Association, of Which Deceased Was Prominent Member, Will Hold a Special Meet
 ing This Morning.
VICTIM OF HEART TROUBLE

The remains of Alex T. London, the prominent and widely-known attorney-at- law of Birmingham, who died suddenly at Chautauqua, N. Y, Friday night, are ex- pected to arrive in this city tonight at F o'clock from Cincinnati. pr. Thomas D. Parke, a brother-in-law of the deceased, left Birmingham yesterday for Cincinnati to accompany the remains here.
 Arrangements for the funeral of the de- ceased have not been made on account of the absence of John London, a brother. who left Birmingham for a short vacation only a day or two before his brothers death. It has not been decided whether the interment will be made here or in Montgomery, the former home of the de- ceased.
 The last telegram prior to MT. London's death stated that he was suffering from a severe cold. Although the exact cause of his death is yet unknown In Birming ham, it Is known that he had been sui fering with arterio-sclerosis, and suffered from a lack of the proper circulation of blood It is thought that the cold which MT. London contracted had something to do with the revival of the artery trouble, and ultimately caused his death.
 The news of MT. London's death came as profound shock to his many friends and associates in Birmingham. The de- ceased was possibly one of the most wide ly known men in the state, and as an attorney his reputation extended from one end of the state to the other. He was one of the foremost members of the Birmingham Bar association, a called meeting of which will be held in the library at the court house this morning at 10 o'clock, at which resolutions will be passed on his demise, and arrangements made for representation at the funeral

The Velvet Neckband

Nothing Is more becoming than the velvet neckband. which is being used again. It gives the desired piquante touch of black, which Is so smart, on the guimpe of the one-piece frock or the soft lingerie waist.
 The velvet Is used in various widths, from half an inch to two inches wide, but the favorite width is about an inch.
 It is placed at the base of the stock, the ends are then crossed in the front, and small brooch or buckle holds them in place. The ends left after crossing are not over an inch or less in length They are seldom placed at the top of the stock, being too heavy, besides 1t is moi nearly so dainty to have the velvet close to one's skin in warm weather.

DOWN BEREAVEMENT GOES BLACK MARIA

The patrol house at police headauarters stood vacant for several hours last night as the result of Driver Matthewson's steering off of terra frma into a deep gulley on the Rosedale side of Red moun- tain this morning.
 As Police Officer Parker was going home early this morning he espied a ne- gro making tracks over the mountain to- ward Birmingham with big sack on his back. The officer ordered him to halt, but the negro dropped the sack and fairly flew. Officer Parker drew his irons and fired, and as usual sent the ball to it's mark, striking the negro in the leg
 The Black Maria was sent for, and en route over the mountain the driver drove the patrol wagon orr the road and down a steep embankment. A telephone message to police headquarters was to the effect that the wagon was practically demolished and that the driver and horse were badly injured.
 The negro was taken to the Hillman hospital for attention. It was not known how badly MT. Matthewson was injured.

 Spermaceti. six drams white wax, six drams; oil of almonds (sweet), six ounces alkanet root. two ounces; oil of rose, one dram.
 Melt the first four ingredients, strain beat until nearly cold; then add the oil of rose. Pour into wide-mouthed bottles or jars.

For Sore Throat

Nothing is more disagreeable than sore throat, and especially in the summer. time. It frequently is due to irritation from the dust, and summer colds" and summer sore throats" are so annoying that one is often driven to desperate measures. A simple gargle, which is eff. flcacious in throat trouble, is a mixture of 20 grains of chlorate of potassium tc an ounce of water. A teaspoonful of the potash to a wineglassful of water Is quite a good domestic measure.

White Hands

The care of the hands is often neglected, especially by the woman who does much house work and whose fingers are con- stantly in water A good idea is to try the ordinary plan of washing the hands with soap and water and while they are yet wet, rub with dry salt well over the cuticle, though not too roughly This will remove all stains and keep the hands smooth and white. Lemon sliced in thin pieces should be near by, to use also, Tor 1t is invaluable in preserving the fine tex lure of the skin.

 Mrs. Julia Nicely Finch of Birmingham, who Is staying here and enjoying all that there is to be seen, still allows the pass ing show to go by her, and sends oc- casionally to magazines and newspapers bits of charming verse.
 The last verses appearing in a we'll known journal are among the sweetest and tenderest she has ever written. She calls this little poem Calling" The verses follow: Love, do you hear me- Crying? Calling? Is it you fear me, As, shadows falling, My soul comes flying, Flying to find and fold you near me? Love, do you love me, Now that above me The earth Is lying? Does the old yearning, To your returning, Make you remember, signing, signing? Love, do you want me? Memories haunt me, Nor does 1t daunt me, That past the screen Of earth, unseen, wonder if only-you want me! Love, do you hear me Calling and crying, s..l..--s.. When you are near me? Oh, but to reach you.- Somehow to teach you When with my love I beseech you.
