TO RETAIN GRACEFUL FORM
important Above All Things That a
Woman Should Learn to Carry
Herself Well.

To retain your graceful form, learn
how to carry yourself. If women would
be more careful about this while young
they would have finer figures and more
slender hips when older. The woman
who holds herself straight, who does
not draw her chin to the collar of her
garment, who keeps back her shoulder
blades, and thus rounds out her breast,
without an apparent effort keeps her
muscles firm and flexible. Thus the
heaviness which is SC much dreaded,
and which destroys all youthfulness
and grace, may be avoided.
The woman who holds herself we'll,
who throws the weight of her body on
her hips (this cannot be too often re-
peated) instead of allowing it to be sup
ported by the abdomen, has the car
rage of queen, the walk of nymph.
Do not fear that you will acquire a
naughty expression. On the contrary,
# your eyes are tender and your smile
S amiable your proud grace will not
make you unsympathetic.

wasted. The weak Bordeaux mixture
used prevents any injuries which
might result from some mistake in
mixing the arsenic compounds. In
midsummer the Bordeaux mixture
would also have some fungicidal value.
The station has applied with success
the different poisons in combination
with lime water, which also prevents
injuries from free acid in the poison.
It must be remembered that to sue
cessfuly control the beetles, the poi
son must be applied immediately or
soon after the eggs hatch. For this
reason, when potatoes are raised on q
large scale, it is necessary to have
machinery which covers a wide area
in a days time. Weak Bordeaux mix
ture is made by combining four
pounds of copper sulphate with eight
pounds of lime to 100 gallons of water
containing the poison. This weak
Bordeaux mixture should be made in
the same manner as the standard Dor
deauX mixture.

PRETTY CARD PARTY PRIZES
and Acceptable Presents for
the Players.

The girl who wishes to give a card
party but fears the cost of prizes for
each table, as it is now the custom
when playing bridge, can make sets
Of plate protectors.
These are cut from cotton batting in
circles to fit in the center of any de-
sired size plate. A dozen should so
to set and the edge of each circle is
buttonholed with a colored mercerized
cotton about an eighth of an inch
apart.
The dinner plate size could be used
entirely, or if the hostess does not
mind trouble, she could make three
sizes of the protectors, for dinner
plate, dessert plate and saucers, for
each prize.
If each set of three is worked in the
same color of cotton, and a different
color is used for each table quite at
tractive looking prizes result. The
mats can be put in fancy boxes and
tied with baby ribbon; the same color
as is used in the buttonholing. The
cost should not exceed 25 cents a
prize and could be done for less.

Be careful not to use high-heeled
shoes. They are questionable, fatal
to a graceful walk and have been
known to cause bad spinal trouble.
If soap bark is used to wash the
hair inclose the bark in a six-inch bag
and sew it up. Steep the contents in
a quart of hot water, but do not boil
it. The bag can be used the same as
the hair carefully with warm water
then with cold water, and rub per-
fecly dry. This is recommended for
oily hair.

living dormant upon the vines for
some time. 1t has been observed re-
peatedly that those growers who are
successful in spraying are men who
have taken the pains to study into
the simple facts just mentioned upon
the development of this disease. The
principle involved then in successful
potato spraying is as follows:
During the rapid development of
the disease, the mass of thread-like
mycelium is growing very rapidly in
and upon the leaf. The minute spore-
like bodies (see Fig. p are being pro
duccd on the surface of the black
spots already noted. These spores,
when they light on the leaf, terminate
and grow, causing another black spot
where the cells of the leaf are de-
stroyed. During favorable weather
conditions, and very often when the
vines are weakened by Injury, this
multiplication of the fungus progress
es at an inconceivably rapid rate, and
is wholly imperceptible to the naked
eve. When the Bordeaux mixture, or
other fungicide is applied to the leaf,
these little spores and mycellae
threads cannot develop on the leaf.
The copper in Bordeaux mixture acts
as poison upon the fungus plant. For
this reason Bordeaux mixture must
be applied at certain times and must
as a rule, be used for diseases like
potato blight which infest and grow
for a time upon the surface of the
leaf. After the disease gains general
infestation of the plant, only partial
benefit can be expected from spray
ng. by preventing rapid infestation
md spread of the disease from new
pores. Hence the usual direction, BE
on time"

Foes and Wireless TeIegraphy.

1t is one Of the many marvels of
wireless telegraph that the ether
waves which carry its messages, I'M
like light waves, suffer no absorption
in mist or fog. Quite the opposite,
in fact, is the case, for the effect
on them of clear sunlight is so mark
ed that they can be sent with equal
initial power only less than half the
distance by day as by night. For
this reason press dispatches and long
distance messages sent by wireless
telegraphy are, wherever possible,
committed to the ether waves after
sunset.

Disking Land.-Few men realize the
great advantage to be secured in disk
ing land before breaking for corn.
Where corn is to follow corn a
weighted disk harrow can be used, not
only for a stalk cutter, but for pull
verizer of the surface and the saving
of the humus of the corn stalk, which
is lost where they are burned, to-
gether with the greater ease with
which the land can be broken make
such a method of handling very desir
able. One of the greatest benefits,
however, comes from the much better
connection that is made between the
bottom of the furrOw and the turned
soil where the layer that is turned
under is pulverized instead Of hard
and cloddy, as is too often the case.

It is highly probable that a monu-
ment to the memory of Asbjorn Klos-
ter will be erected at Stavangers this
year. Gustav Laerum, the sculptor,
has promised that he will finish a
statue of the honcred dead before the

sailing as it might: The association

CARNATIONS. Some have been formed
in certain districts, but the replies re-
ceived from the southern part of the
kingdom were not favorable, the peo-
pie there maintaining that emigration
is a benefit to Norway, chiefly because
the emigrants send back SO much
money from America to their relatives
at home. The new association there
fore is strenuously opposed.
