the contrary, it is believed to have
grown less, materially; SO much so
that not all the apples that can be
planted under all our bitches would
bring it up to where it was ten years
ago, to say nothing of keeping up to
the general advance.
1T Is strange to find that there
are no official statistics on the ma
tional apple crop. The often-quoted
figures showing decline are not
from the department of agriculture,
but are estimates made in the Of
flee of the American Agriculturist, of
Springfield. Mass. They show a
steady falling off for the last ten
years, and the crop of 1908 was lit
tie more than half the average for

ing how accurate the figures are. The
estimate for 1899 does not agree very

same crop. The one Is 100000
barrels and the other 100000.

Restless Boy Problem
SoIbed by Collections

Given a small restless school boy, a
city tenement and vacation, what is
the solution?
One way IS TO encourage collection OF
marbles, Of pebbles. shells. or postage
stamps and mail marks. names of gar
den flowers and wild ones. Of birds and
animals, all seen with ones oWn eyes
A collection Of leaves Of trees In one
case made a summer short and happy
for a boy and his friends. Beginning
In the dooryard. following along the
street TO the big common. the trees were
found. Every ride 20 the suburbs or
trim to the farm added to the list. and
friends in the South and West sent
Their rarer varieties.
To mount them after being pressed in
old books, a blank book was made, and
as the boy was too small for scien-
fific catalogue, the pages were lettercd
alphabetically. Little Sits cut in the
paper held the stems and gummed
stickers assisted in securing large speci-
mems. The common name of the leaf
was written below. Four we're usually
mounted on a page. The first page, let
tered A, included apple. ash. alder, april
cut; 3, butternut. beech. birch, bass
wood, and so on. The book so pleased

that It obtained a prominent place in

Fafgung Sleep Is a Habit Of Woman

one Of the most skilled and trained
nurses thinks "fauguiug sleep" an ex-
haustiug habit 90 which many women

They do not know the full meaning OF

complete rest is TO be sure that the spine
leans against the bed and shat il touch

She says there are few women who
have not d half-dozen muscular strains
upon their bodies while sleeping, but the
strain on the spine, because Of incorrect
posture. is the most Important and in

Regulation of VISITS
ShoWs Tact of a Girl

In a certain southern city there lives
a young lady who is decidedly popular
with the opposite sex.
She has callers practically every
night in the week Some OF these she
likes but, OF course, there are others
whose company is by no means 50
ID -asing- Being a polite and kind
hearted girl, she does not snub the lat
ter and turn them away, but, neverthe-
less, she has devised a little scheme By
which she is forced to endure their
company for considerably shorter per-
iods than would otherwise be the case.
In her parlor is a large cuckoo
clock. II would be a simple matter for
her 10 set it fast when unwelcome
visitors are expected, but that would
be too clumsy and time-worn scheme
to suit her. Instead. she sets the clock
even little slow. but shortens the pen
dulum considerably.
The men know about what time it
is when they arrive and see that the
clock is not fast. Then when IL regis
ters 1890 or so. pOliteness bids them
leave Meanwhile the shortened pendu-
lum has done its duty. aE it is in
reality not yet 10 O'Clock
This scheme works equally well the
other way; but Of the dozen or so call
ers who from time TO time grace her
parlors there is only one for whom
the pendulum is heightened
II he knew Of this he might overcome
his shyness and ask the question that
has been on his lips-for so long; but,
Of course, the lengtheniug of the pen
dulun in his case is as much Of a secret
as is the shortening for the others.

Puzzle Solvers May Travel
Among Mountains of America

W OF should have seen the pertur-
Y baton that mounted the brows
Il OF the unlucky ones who had to
decide who was entitled TO the
prizes this week.
The contest was so close that every
detail had to be considered. so when it
was finally decided that the awards
should go to Miss Marguerite c. Wright,
Of 11O3 p street northwest, Miss Jean
V. F1cklin. Of Alexandria, Va, and
George Risk, jr., Of IS Rhode Island
avenue northeast, a good old-fashioned
sigh Of relief went up and the matter
was passed over TO me to make the
happy announcements.
Of course these were not by any man
ner Of means the only members Of the
Puzzle circle who had correct solu-
lions. but in the opinion Of the judges
who make neatness, priority Of arrival
and originality in presentation factors
in the merry game. the three persons
named are entitled to last weeks prizes.
Miss Wright. who was among the first
arrivals, was remarkable as we'll for
the neatness Of her manuscript Miss
Ficklin earned her prize by reason Of
the originality she displayed. in getting
up her solution.
The reproduction of her clever draw
ing will give you all an idea of now
