Getting Rid of Stumps.

Since the discovery of that region,
constituting part of the present state
of Washington the fir stump has
blocked the, progress of civilization
west of the Cascades, from Oregon to
British Columbia. Science has found
ways to span the states rivers, tunnel
its mountains and irrigate it's deserts,
but until recently it has been unable
to cope with the fir stump. Bulky. firm
rooted in the earth, and so saturated
with pitch that it will not delay, it
has defied everything but dynamite,
and that costs about So a stump, with
an equal amount to cover the expenses
of a donkey engine necessary to re-
move the roots when the main body
of the stump has been shattered.
Clearly such a costly process can not
be used for agricultural purposes in
heavily timbered country.
Such was the situation when, three
years ago. ana enterprising farmer
conceived the idea of burning out the
stumps by forced draft. After many

copied from one of the Romney paint
ings, which are we'll known among
face pictures. Time and again the
Romney model has been used and the
novelty of the hat in question was in
the method of it's trimming. Long
plumes are usually the accompani-
ment of the picture hat, but in this
case the large crown was completely
formed from great massese of white
aigrettes. The hat itself was of black
velvet with a high round full crown
and a wide brim that tits just a lit
tie with a suspicion of a drOop in the
front For certain features and oc-
casions no hat is quite so artistic or
contains so many possibilities as the
Romney modes.

NEW YORK, oct. 1--we have had
several seasons now in which the his
toric has dominated the modes of the
day. During the coming winter the
STYLES in millinery will particularly
show this influence-in nearly every
instance the hat shows a relationship
with some idea of the past. The de-
signs have given much time to the
study of old pictures and miniatures
some of them by very famous artists
and of the most noted women of the
olden times. Many of the hats of this
winter will be exact reproductions
while others will be notifications of
these picture models For dress hats
the picture model will prevail while
the more severe types of costumes and
those intended for street wear in bust
ness hours will incline towards the
military silhouette
For instance there was a hat shown
at one of the recent exhibitions which
comes under the picturesque type
which is known this year as the Lady

there are few that cost SO little. An
excavation was made in the side of a
hill, is by so feet square, and SO ar
ranged that the completed cave was
eight feet in height. The excavating
was done with plows and slips, the
walls were kept plumb by using an IS
foot evener with a 20-foot chain fast
ened to the plov. One team was placed
in the pit or cave and one on the
bank. BY this method the burrows

the rear half Of the roof, was first
covered with 1x2 inch strips; then
lath and the lath with two heavy coats
of Portland cement. Two salt glazed
tiles were placed in the roof of the
cave for ventilation. Large double
doors were placed in both the cave and
the house. If necessary, two Wagins
may be backed into the house at the
same time. Two car loads of apples,
a lot of potatoes, onions, ETC.. were
stored in this cave last winter. Every
thing was packed in cartes, boxes or
barrels, and all kept fine. The extra
price realized on the apples alone
would build several such caves.

for the planting of trees. which should
be set in rows about four feet apart,
and cultivated as corn. Seeding trees
can be purchased from the larger
nurseries at from So to SIS per thous-
and, which is cheaper than the labor
required to dig them in the timber
lands if they could be gotten for
nothing. 1t is good plan to cut off
the entire top of the young tree when
setting out. This will give a good,
strong, straight growth for the trunk
of the future tree. A little pruning,
during the first and second summers
will start the trees with good clean
trunks, and after this, but little care
will be needed. A small plat of land,
if properly handled, will in a few years
furnish an abundance of firewood and
posts and poles that are necessary for
fences. The value of a constant sup
ply of timber on tie farm can hardly
be overestimated
Posts can be grown in groves much
cheaper than in line hedges. Hedge
fences are not to be recommended, eX-
cept in special cases, for the reason
that the labor required to keep a hedge
fence in good shape would care for a
large grove. A tall hedge may some
times be of gerat value for a wind
break and for such purposes their use
should not be discouraged, though a
grove will usually furnish peter pro-
lection to cultivated fields and farm
buildings The varieties best adapted
to western prairie countries are black
locust, catalpa and cottonwood, sue
coded by soft maple, mulberry and
white ash, the last-named being of
slower growth than the others, but
more valuable for many purposes.

1t is remarkable what a change has
! taken place in children's education in
the last few years-comparative
speaking The child of today learns
variety of things that no one ever
thought of teaching his father and
mother.
Has it ever struck you what diff
ference there is between education as
it used to be and as it is now?
1t is not very long ago that the three
RS were considered the only really nee
essary items of education, with history
geography and language or two as a
desirable addition.
But now, all over the country-all
child is taught a wide variety of sub
jects, is taught a number of differ
ent things.
Special Schools for Detectives.
Nowadays we consider the children
fashioned plan of trying to ram the
same thing, in the same way, down the
threats of any given number of chill
dren. whose dispositions and capacities
for learning may vary as widely as
the poles.
There are special schools where the
halt, the MANNED, the blind, the deaf
and the mentally deficient are taught in
a special and carefully planned way.
In London the County Council has even
gone so far as to have horse ambu
lances which go around to the homes
of crippled children, collect the little
ones, and take them to school.
At a teachers conference the othei
day, a we'll known teacher gave par
ticularly interesting account of a gar
den school for children who were not
strong enough to attend a regular
school
They were taught the progress of
civilization by playing at being cave
jewellers, then, at being Druids, and
finally rising in the scale of culture
Geography was impaired by making
rivers and lakes and continents and
seas on the garden path.
Arithmetic was learned gby pullin
rhubarb and picking gooseberries; and
domestic economy by taking charge
of the care-taker's baby, and learning
that pork, pease pudding and pickles
are not suitable diet for infants of ten
der years.
Nature study is another thing which
has of late years sprung up as gen.
eral subject of education. Enthusiastic
teachers will tell you how they take
children out to study animal and plant
life, when whole patches of children
are carried off to some country place
for week or a fortnight to have their
interests stimulated and their minds
enlarged
But all these things are taught right
here in America and most of us, in ouT'
pride of birth and pf1rogress, think that
we are the most advanced nation on
the earth. If we only knew it, we could
| take a few lessone from our mother
country with much profit to ourselves
and the coming generation.

carefully scrubs each individual prune
before putting it on to stew, and Wheh
after completing her darning she pro-
ceeds to bite the thread off instead OF
cutting it, the result being stock
ing that no mortal person could pos
sibly wear.
In London the girls are given no
elaborate utensils, nor are they taught
how to cook dinner that would cost
as much as their fathers could earn
in a week: but they are shown how
to prepare, with the simplest of pots
and pans. the sort of meals they will
have to cook when they have homes
of their own.
To a TabuIated Income.
The London County Council has
taken a fiat where small classes OF
girls are taught, by practical expert
ence, how to cook, sweep, dust, shop
in fact the whole art OF nOuSekeep-
ing, in a home of that kind.
They are instructed how to prepare
meals to a taublated income, the low
est being twenty tight shiplings (about
seven dollars) a week. The girls are
first taught how to buy what they re-
ouire. and are then shown how to cook
and prepare their purchases.
Household management and every
thing pertaining to it is most thor-
oughly taught A daily visit to the
butcher, the grocer, the fishmonsefr
and the fruiterer's is part of the train
ing. and the most economical joints,
etc, are carefully pointed out.
Pets are also a feature of these
schools. The little scholars are en-
couraged to keep animals and birds
of all kinds, and are taught how to
feed and look after them properly
Serving Meals Tastefully.
How to wait at table is another
branch of housewifely lore that is
taught the girls of these County
Council schools The correct setting
of the table, the proper side upon
which plates are passed and served,
and the serving up of meals in neat
and appetizing fashion is carefully
impaired.
Washing, under the most pleasant
conditions, and with every modern ap-
pliance is also included in the curri-
culum. The children learn how to
wash, mangle, starch and iron, and
they seem to enjoy it.
1t would be better for us as a ma
ton if we would drop some of the stu
dies that, except under the most by
pothetical conditions. can be of no
practical value to them later, when
they have husbands to cook for and
babies to take care of
Most of us have no use for the Ian
guages we learned in our high school
days, and those of us that have at
tended a woman's college, wonder why
we ever wasted our time in pouring
over the unintelligible Kant instead of
reading some reliable book on babies.
or attending school where the pupils
were allowed a course in domestic
economy.
J If our higher schools were planned
more with a view to making our girls
good wives and mothers, instead of
! teaching them things, which If they
cared to, they could acquire later, it
would be a great deal better for the
| coming generation. AS it is, it is a
wonder that the poor, helpless little

ers yesterday
These changes, II adopted. win tend TO
an equalization Of real estate assess
ments Important among these recon-
mendations IS the suggestion that an an
nual instead Of a triennial assessment OF
real and personal property be made In
the District. and that the board OF re-
view have no part IN the initial assess
ment except to furnish the assistant as
SCISSORS with all data relative TO sales.
transfers. building operations. and subdi-
visions and 20 supervise the work.
Assessor Richards said that with the
force allowed by law Il is impossible TO
cover the ground within the time desIg-
mated. and that the duties OF the assist
ant assessors make IT impossible for
them 10 be strictly UP to date in regard
20 sales and prices OF real estate. There
fore. he recommends that the city be di-
vided into three or more sections. with
two assistant assessors for each section
who would make both personal and real
estate assessments. 1t was further sug-
gested that the board OF review be lin
tied TO the assessor and two deputy as

The total assessed valuation Of real es-
tate IN the District OF Columbia for the
