"HoMINIST" is LATEST WORD

One Is Fined.

Paris.-An adenture Of Mile. Luci-

whose works have several times been
exhibited at the salons, has inspired
a witty journalist to coin new word
whereby militant suffragettes Of GER
tain type will be known in France
henceforward. "Hominist" is the
word, and it is meant to describe the
sort of woman who goes about dress
ed as much like a man as she possl-
bly, can.
One morning at 2 o'clock the night
police observed a human figure lying
in the gutter of street in the mid
die of the Latin Quarter. They lifted
up what apparently was young man
in an intoxicated condition, with his
clothes badly torn and his appearance
generally deplorable. While taking
the offender, they were assailed by
a volley of descriptive epithets deliv-
cred in high feminine voice. and dis
covered that they were dealing with a
woman in disguise. She was dressed
in black trousers, leather spats, a
mans waistcoat and woman's coat
reaching to the knees.
The young woman. Mile. Delaroche,
who was the sculptress, explained to
the court that this costume she found
most convenient in the studio, and

Problem of Using Juice of Ripe Fruit
Is Solved by the Owner of a
Ranch in New Mexico.

Roswell, N. M.-Bees in the Pecos
valley have solved the problem OF
making honey from the juice Of ripe
peaches. 1t is the latest and most
dainty product from the fertile and
famous Pecos valley.
The peach honey will come from
the ranch of e. w. Mirable, located
near Artesia. So far as peach grow
srs and bee-keepers can ascertain this
will be the first honey maze from the
Juice Of ripe peaches in the country
Honey has been produced in many
places made partly FROM the nectar OF
peach blooms, but not before from the
ripe fruit
On Mr.. Mirable's ranch he pro
duces large quantities of honey each
year from alfalfa and mesquite
blooms, and thus far the bees have
been satisfied with that sort of mate
rial. This year there has been an
abundance of both kinds of blooms,
out the bees decided to try ripe
peaches.
Recently Mr.. Mirable found the
bees at work in his peach orchard. On
some large peaches he found as many
as a dozen bees hard at work. They
were able to puncture the skin OF the
peach and not harm the fruit, and get
all the peach juice they wanted.
For three weeks he kept a close
watch and the bees have worked with
great diligence in the big peach or
chards through the valley near Arte
sia. They have stored the peach
sweets in the hives at the ranch and
the new crop of peach honey will be
ready for market during the coming
month. The first to be taken will be
shown at the Roswell exposition
October S, and z.

thing that must be left to the readers
