Myths as to Mummies.

One of the hOary myths upon which
certain sections of the London press
always fall back in the dry sea
son is to the effect that such evil in
duence is welded by certain corpses
in the mummy room of the British mu
scum that the authorities are kept
busy wedding out the more malevolent
of the embalmed Egyptians. The 9th
err day a prominent London journa!
told how it was mot to be denied that
ill-luck has frequently logged the Gus
todians of these somewhat grewsome
relics. 1t is, for instance, fact that
certain of the British museum mum
mics have been quietly removed Ow'
ing to the pernicious influence thei1
presence exercised upon the atten.
dants and others. One mummied lady
in particular caused a mysterious
blighting illness to grip hold upon any
one who approached her too closely
However, the Chicago Daily News re
ferred the matter to the British mu

WARNING TO FRUIT GROWERS
Crown Gall Is Warty Outgrowth or
Excrescence Upon the Apple,
Peach, Pear and Other Trees.

Crown gall is term applied to Ger.
tain warty outgrowths or excrescences
upon the apple, pear, peach, rasp-
berry, etc., forming chiefly on the
parts below ground. On the apple
these growths are more apt to occur
on grated trees at the union of the
root and the cion, but they may form
at any place where the roots have
been injured in transplanting, etc.
Experiments by the department of
agriculture show that crown gall is
caused by specific parasite. Every
orchardist should carefully inspect all
stock which he purchases for setting.
All trees showing evidence of crown
gall should be either returned to the
shipper or burned, and future orders
placed with nurserymen who can and
will furnish trees free from disease
Under no condition should trees be
planted which show growths of this
kind upon the roots, for not only will
it result in an unthrifty and unprofit.
able tree, but it will also endanger
other plants.

The Summer Grass Widower
By Nina Thomas Antrim
4 Thomas Antrim
Copyright, 1909. b. J. B. Lppincott Co..

The joys of the wifeless, childless
summer-husband have been but half
chronicled. After Mary and little
Mary and little Johnnie have been
safely transported to their appointed
summer-home, what of our hero?
Weeps he? Goes he hence straight
way to his home to gaze sadly at
rooms that echo" no more with
Childish laughter?" Tears he his
locks, or heaps he ashes thereon?
Not so. He goes as the crow flies
exactly where the spirit moves him.
Metaphorically he throws time to the
dogs, and his chest expands with the
JOY of living.
Meanwhile he tells himself that,
having pleased his family, he has
earned the right to please himself
which means?- 1t depends upon the
man. There is, as we all know,
very caddish sort of grass-widower
who palms himself off as bachelor
and goes on his way callously, tramp.

manly, and who is going to have a
good time at no ones expense save
his own.
Man is lover of things edible, and
SO the grass-widower begins his good
time by good breakfasting. He forti-
fies the inner man" in so satisfying
manner that his countenance fairly
beams, for he has eaten those things
that his palate has long craved, things
that they never have at home"
His conscience gives him a little
prick when he remembers why his
thrifty Mary does not serve costly
delicacies, fit only for plutocrat, to
family of seven. However, he has
enjoyed his tidbit and thinks no more

PRUNE AND TRAIN GRAPE VINE
To Grow the Best Fruit the Vines
Should Be Frequently Cut
Back and Renewed.

The grape vine should be planted
slightly deeper than it was in the
nursery and cut back to strong bud
Only one shoot should be allowed to
grow.
The next spring it should be again
cut back to strong bud, the length
of the cane varying with it's size, says
the Prairie Farmer. The terminal
bud only should be allowed to develop
and the cane should be tied to stout
stake as it grows.
The next spring it should be cut
back at the height of four or five feet,
according to the kind of trellis to be
used, and three buds at the top should
be allowed to develop into shoots.
The following spring the vines will
be ready for trellis. The favorite
forms are known as vertical and hori.
zontal. The vertical trellis consists OF

Lesson Of Natures SprIngtine.

Any prospect of awakening or com.
ing to life, to dead man, makes in
different all times and places. The
place where that may occur Is always
the same, and indescribably pleasant
to all our senses. For the most part
we allow only outlying and transient
circumstances to make our occasions.
They are, in fact, the cause of our dis
traction. Nearest to all things is that
power which fashions their being.
Next TO us, the grandest laws are con-
tinually being executed. Next to MS is
not the workman whom we have
hired, but the workman whose work
we are.-Henry D. ThoreRu.

ed man? Not so, mesdames! Who
shall tell whom lone man may run
up against at nearby park, musical
pavilion, or upon the outward-bound
trolleys? Groves, parks, and roof
gardens are the happy hunting
grounds of the grass-widower in July
and August. Without them he were
indeed desolate. Club Land is dead,
but the open is alive and aglow with
welcome everywhere.
Outlines our hero goes upon short
itineraries alone. Oftener he joins an
other wifeless man, and they twain
revel together in looking upon all
sorts and conditions of men, and
pretty subsequently, pretty girls.
There is no man who has a keener
eye for a pretty girl than a man who
has married one, unless possibly it
might be the husband of plain one
If a cat may look at king blameless-
ly, married man may look at a pref
ty maiden sans wrong. Anyhow, it is
one of his favorte amusements when
-semi-detached.
Another JOY of temporary widower-
hood is bid to the home of a chum
whose family is still in town. It is
upon such gala occasion that he is
at his best. The average peace-lov-
ing husband is usually self-conscious
when his wife is present especially
if she is of retIcent nature. Dread
ing aftermaths, he is afraid of dis
pleasing her as to the manner and
matter of his discourse, but being I'M
fettared he casts off self and-talks
as his spirit prompts. His chum is
delighted, after many days, to see his
old friend again an individual The

eight-foot posts set two and one-half
feet in the ground at intervals of
twenty to thirty feet. These generally
carry two lines of No. 10 galvanized
wire, respectively four and five and
one-half feet from the ground. The
end posts should be strong and we'll
braced, and the wire should be so ar.
ranged that the slack can be taken up
when necessary. The other posts need
not be very large if twenty feet apart,
but for thirty feet good-sized posts are
desirable.
The horizontal trellis differs in hav.
ing 2X6-inch strip placed on edge
horizontally at the top of the post, so
as to form an arm two feet long, upon
which three wires are carried.
The previous years three shoots
were grown on each vine. For the
two-wire (verticaD trellis two of them
should be placed on the lower wire
and cut back to ten buds each. The
other shoot should be cut off at the
height of the upper wire, and shoot
from it should be trained in each d.
rection. For the three-wire (horizon-
taD trellis, shoot should be trained
upon each of the wires, two in one
direction and one in the other, and all
should be cut back to eight buds.
The simplest and most satisfactory
method of training the grape is by the
Kniffin system. The fruiting arms are
tied to the wires in the spring and the
new shoots as they come out are al
lowed to hang down.
TO grow the best fruit whatever
system is used, the vines should be
frequently cut back and renewed.
Some prefer to renew all the canes
each year, starting all of them from
the main trunk of the vine, while
others renew but once in two years.
Whatever the method of pruning or
training, one should endeavor to leave
about 40 buds upon each vine, and
these could be as near the main trunk
as possible.

TIME WELL SPENT
Some Simple Exer-
eis@S That will Do
Much for Improve
n0eDt Of Figure.

II HE coming vogue for snug-fitted
j bodices is going to disclose some
distressingly rounded shoulders that
our kindlier blouses and baby waists
concealed. The young woman who
values good appearance will there
fore spend her time most profitably
in strengthening those muscles which
hold the shoulder blades in place. A
little set of exercises for this purpose
would take up very little of her time,
perhaps ten minutes night and morn
ing, and the benefit derived would be
both lasting and far-reaching. The
exercise must of course be taken en-
negligee in order to get the full bene-
fit of it, and preferably just before the
bath.
The amount to be taken by any one
person can best be measured by the
fatigue that it brings on the muscles,
all things in moderation being a very
wise rule. And yet If one should over
exert, brisk rubbing with alcohol
will bring the blood to the worn out
tissues and save one from an aching
back. should say that for the av-
erage young woman ten times repeat
ing each of the following exercises
would be the right amount for each
dose:
First, to develop the shoulder
muscles, assume an erect standing
position, then bunch the shoulders
as high as possible at the same time
that the head is thrown slightly up
ward and backward. Now rotate the
shoulders forward, downward and
backward with vigor, remembering
that it does the most good when it
nips. In repeating this cycle of move
ments be sure to maintain the body
in its original erect position. with
chest high and head back.
Secondly, double your fists, bring
your knuckles together on your chest
with thumbs downward, raise the
elbows to the exact level of the Shout
ders, and then with one quick, Wig
orous movement bend your elbows
backward until your fists touch your
shoulders and your shoulder blades
nip. Repeat b. bringing your fists to-
gether again over your chest and
then nip-nip-nipping, with your elbows
on the level with your shoulders.
To counteract the tendency to
dropping head that so often accom-.
panies round shoulders, stand erect.
place the clasped hands on the back
of your neck, and with chin in and
every muscle tense bend your head
backward, then forward, as far as pos
sible. Remember that the head is

be kept as high as possible, and SLOW
ly take in deep breath, at one and
the same time rising on tiptoe and
bending your elbows back sharply.
Then as you exhale let yourself down
off your toes and bring the elbows
back to their normal position. This
exercise will do little good unless you
are careful to press the elbows neither
up nor down, but horizontally back

square-cut Bodices Set Sleeves Lower

Square-Cut Bodices Set Sleeves Lower.
1t is said by those who know that
bodices are to be cut more squarely
across the shoulders, and therefore
the sleeves will be set lower on the
arms. This will be accomplished by
running the shoulder seams much
longer than we have had them during
the directoire period.
This smacks something of the sec.
ond empire. But everybody is pre-
pared for anything just now.

An appropriation of 100000 is car

tinction, feminine lovers of bracelets
that truly barbaric form of adornment
sighed many signs and thought regret
fully of money expended on golden
circlets. For 1t was taken for granted
that the knell of elbow-length sleeves
meant also the knell of the bracelet.
But fashion fooled them once again
Bracelets. as matter of fact, are
as much In vogue as ever. To be
quite truthful, they are not the bands
Of heavily-chased gold, twinkling with
precious stones which modish women
have been clanking against bridge

and even of broad bands of the old.
fashioned bead work beloved of our
gfandmothers.
Observers of the first-arrived model
gowns from the great dressmakers of
Paris noticed peculiar trimming just
at the wrist Of the long, close-ftting
sleeves. This trimming frequently
was the same as that employed else.
where on the blouse, 1t always was
put on in bracelet form and generally
ended in demure little bow at the
outside of the wrist. Even though the
sleeve was plain and otherwise I'M
trimmed. it had this distinctive touch.
This bracelet trimming was but the
forerunner of many other bracelets
made of materials distinctly new to
this peculiar use. Now we see the
debutante coquettishly banding her
wrist with circle of blue forget-me-
nots or tiny pink button" roses. She
wears them over her sleeve If a long
sleeved gown Is worn, or over her
glove If in decollete gown. There is
even a hint of revival of wrist
length gloves with very short pulled
sleeves. In that case the bracelet of
flowers will be still more in evidence,
for 1t Is necessary to wear something
to break the hard tine of the glove
against the bare arm.
Black velvet ribbon, so long worn
clasp1ng the neck, now forms brace
let's, pinned with small brooch in
the good old-fashioned way. If the
brooch is a quaint antique, so much
the better. A length of tulle in white
or colors is affected by the girl who
goes in for picturesque effects. She
ties it closely around her wrist with
long ends hanging from tight little
bow.
Curiosity shops that make a spe-
cialty of old-fashioned jewelry have
been searched lately for the bands of
woven beads clasped with old chased
gold clasps which were so much priced
by our grandmothers. They bid fair
to be quite as highly priced by the
girls of this generation, for great is
the rejoicing of the woman who finds
a bead bracelet of particularly quaint
design. A pattern of red roses on a
background of turquoise blue beads is
an effective combination which age
tones into quite good scheme of
color and the discovery of bead
bracelet bearing a motto, sentimental
or scriptural, is considered very lucky.
