HINDoo MOTHERS DEGREE.

Mrs. Srimati ANNA, Hindoo wom-
an who is the mother of five children,
has gained the degree of A. B. in the
Malabar University. She took first
place in an examination over fifty-one
competitors. Three months ago she
passed an examination in fine arts, and
now she is to engage in work as a
teacher in college for girls. She Is
one of the editors of the Sarada, a
literary journal, and believes the wom-
en- of the Orient are on the eve of a
general awakening. She is especially
hopeful for India by reason of the
fact that the Hindoo husband is en-
couraging his wife to study. Mrs.
ANNA believes this probably Is the
most remarkable development in all
the present-day progress of women the
world over, as for scores of centuries
the women in India have been held
worse than chattels. There seems to
be real advancement in India. for at
the last convocation of the Bombay
University two Brahmin women took
degrees. and the Madras University
for the first time has had women
among its graduates.-New York

Grief
(By zitena coclse.)


(By Zitella Coohe.)
I know all is true you tell me,
That God Is wise and good,
That the Hand which spreads the
heavens
) Provides the sparrow,s food.
! know how sure is His promise.
Better than you can say
But the dearest one on earth to me
Was buried yesterday.
IT'S a sin, you say, to sorrow,
God knows and does the best,
IT'S towards faith that falters
At trials crucial test.
True faith is ever a hero,
do not say you nay.
But the dearest one on earth to me
Was buried yesterday.
God loveth the soul He chastens,
] know, is Holy Writ.
Shall clay complain of the Potter
Who molds and fashions it?
I know that the heart of the faithful
Will trust, although He slay,
Yet the dearest one on earth to me
Was buried yesterday.
Aye. what is the darkest sorrow
That clouds life's little span,
Compared with the weight of glory
And joy undreamed by man?
But leave me now in my anguish
While to my God pray:
Thou knowest, Lord, that my dearest
one
Was buried yesterday"

Stale Of Maryland
10 CONTROL APPLE TREE PESTS,
Tests To Be Made BY Agricultural
College Officials All Over State.

College rk.-Announcement was
made at the Maryland Agricultural
College that the State Entomologist
and the State Patholog st are. con-
Quoting a series of spraying apple
tree tests for the control of the cod
ling moth, apple scab and other dis
eases in apple orchards on the aims
house farms in the counties that are
in a position to cooperate in the.
work. This is being done because of
the belief that practical demonstra-
tons of this character present the
best method of disseminating infor-
nation of genuine value to the farm
ers of the State. In counties not in
position to cooperate, private or
chards have been selected for the
tests. The fruit growers and general
farmers in the neighborhoods where
the tests are made are invited to at
tend and will be given an oppor-
tunity to observe the manner in
which the spray mixture is made
and applied, as we'll as to view the
public demonstration. !.
Wormy apples are largely caused
by the coddling moth and much OF
the fruit grown in Maryland is in
jured by apple scab and other dis
eases. Spraying apple trees just as
the blossoms fall, with bordeaux
mixture and Paris green or arsenic
of lead will, it is contended, largely
control these pests. One of the first
demonstrations was conducted in
Worcester County in the almshouse
orchard.
On account of the difference in
time of bloom of the apple the DEM
onstration in the western and north
ern counties will be conducted later
in the month. The~officers of the
department conducting these demon
STATIONS believe that the almshouse
farms in the different counties of the
State should be permitted to become
demonstration and experiment farms
so as to afford the farmers in these
counties every opportunity to observe
up-to-date methods of farming in
practice.

HASTE AND WASTE.

Some women boast they can dress
in ten minutes. They may be CLOTH
ed in that time; they won't be dress
ed. In nothing more than in dressing
does great haste make little speed.
The girl who respects her appear
ance never makes the attempt to do
stunts in her dressing. The five-min-
ute habit is stunned as are all ham
way measures.
If only the boaster of swiftness
could read the thoughts about her of
the careful dresser she would cease
to flaunt her CELEBRITY. "You look i'll"
thinks the other woman, or, "You
can't be cellar clear through or "Your
room must resemble a pig pen"
One cannot give the, attention to
bathing, hairdressing and careful ad-
justing of clothes that is required in
less than half an hour. The woman
who says she does, either stops her
clock or shirks important toilet, du.
ties.
Apart from looks, the woman who
dresses in ten minutes is putting her
nerves to all unnecessary strain.
There is nothing so trying as dress.
ing in a hurry. The furry gets into
pins, buttons, laces, and gloves; what
does not prick or break, willfully hides
itself.
Hurried dressing usually means
looking ones worst instead of ones
best. Ten minutes leave no allowance
for careful inspection with hand
glass or for accurate adjusting Of belts
and ties, Psyche angles. and hair nets.
The girl who boasts OF whirlwind
dressing generally looks as If she had
just come through one. Straggiy
locks show her speed, while her mad
haste makes for a red countenance
that is not beautifier.
/ One need not be such slow dress
er that some one is always on wait
ing orders; there is difference be
tween dawdling and careless haste.
The ten minutes dressing habit, ex-
cept in an emergency, verges closely
on uncleanliness.-New Haven Regis
