FROM OTHER PENS
LoNG HArPIN AGAIN..

While most legislation aimed at the
dangerous hatpin was considered
somewhat of a joke, a number of re-
cent accidents that have been caused
by the long steel points show that it
was entitled to more serious consider
alton. The latest recorded incident of
the kind occurred a few days ago in
San Francisco. when az. actor on a
crowded car was pierced through the
eye by one, and has, it is reported, lost
his sight.
Such an accident is likely to occur
at any time and to anyone. Men are
now careful in crowded public places
where there are any number Of wom-
en- to observe whether they are en-
dangered by one of these pins, but a
sudden turn, a jar in a trolley car or
any other quick move is likely to put
anyone in jeopardy wherever there is
one of these vicious looking imple-
ments protruding five or six inches
beyond the building line of the hat
itself.
Mere legislation seems to have had
little effect in putting az end to the
practice of wearing them, but 1t does
seem that women themselves, recog-
nizing their danger, ought to be will
| ing to give them up voluntarily. Their
obstinacy in the matter may at any
time be the cause of keen icdividual
regret.-Philadelphi Inquirer.
| LITERARY MEAT FOR BABES.
1t has been said by many experience
ed European visitors that of all the
marvellous institutions of America not
one inspires greater wonder in their
souls than the young girl in her teens.
At an age when the young French or
i German maiden is a mere child, con
J stantly under the parental care. hair
in pigtails, thumb in mouth and eyes
cast down, the American girl has her
own little world and her own beaux,
reads whatever she likes and joins in
| the conversation with her elders If
she does not actually lead 1t.
Just now even the native American
sometimes stands aghast at the
worldly wisdom of the young girl OF
ia wisdom that is derived largely
from the books that needless parents
permit her to read During the last
decade a growing license both In
theme and frankness of expression has
been the distinguishing Characters
tic of English and American fiction
The old term Frenchy has long since
lost it's significance. Books thai
would have been deemed untranslat-
able by the average publisher are
now freely circulated in English text
while every variety of native nasti-
ness is served up under the brand OF
daring. There is no calculating the
harm that these daring books do tc
the adolescent mind, and yet at every
summer watering place one may find
the young people poring delightedlS
over fiction that would not have beer
admitted to circulating libraries a ooz-
Zen years ago.-New York Herald.

It Requires Skill and Experience

J. wv. Jeffry, Commissioner of
Horticulture, State of California,
states in the Rural Press that in
his state an Unfit fruit grower is
born in the possession of an orchard
every hour of the year. He is
largely the product of the land
booster, is captivated with fairy
stories of the great and easy profits
and finally cuts his eye-teeth in the
reality Of bitter experience.
Whether he be rich man who
knows nothing of practical horticul-
ture, or poor man who has neither
money nor knowledge. he is con-
tinually coming and going in thou
sands and the effect of his dipping
into the fruit business will always
be to unsettle conditions here. This
class OF men will always remain q
charge upon the industry. Add to
this the fact that even capable hor-
ticulturists from other states have
much to learn before they can pro-
duce first-class fruits here, and It
seems to reverse the ordinary laws
that usually eliminate ineficiency
from an occupation. Every new
country has these economic problems
to work out. but California, being
particularly blessed with opportunity
OF success. is equally handicapped
with liability of failure. Our people
hope to hasten the achievement OF
uniformity in their products and
stability in their industry BY
standardizing their fruits.
