BLACK AND WHITE COSTUME
Idea That Really Never Has Lost
Favor Comes With New Versions
of the Mode.

Black and white costumes, 1t seems,
have been revived, though probably
few have ever been able to discover
that they were in need Of any such
process. A smart new version of the
mode may be seen in a suit consisting
OF a white linen skirt and a black
taffeta coat, in Russian blouse style,
which is adorned with white linen
buttons and buttonholes bound with
white linen. Another striking black
and white combination is in a gown
of oyster white satin, the skirt Of
which opens in front to show an up

used: AS soon as the bed is through
fruiting, the plants are moved with u
horse mower or by hand, close to the
ground, and then the bed is raked
clean and the trash burned or else,
if it is very dry, the bed may be
burned over without raking. If this is
attempted. however, the leaves and
straw must be very dry, SO they will

CBy LIE ROY cADY. Minnesota. }

The strawberry Is probably the
most widely-grown fruit in the world.
There are varieties adapted to almost
every climate and condition, from
Alaska to Florida. Our cultivated
kinds have been developed from the
Chilian strawberry and the common
wild strawberry. The alpine straw
berry of Europe is the parent of the
ever-bearing varieties which are now
coming into prominence in some
places. They, however, are not as yet
OF sufficient value TO deserve much
attention. The strawberry is one of
the first fruits on the market in the
spring, and hence is always welcome.
The best time to set a strawberry
bed is the early spring, as soon as
the land is in good condition and the
plants can be obtained. There is
more moisture as rule at that time;
and this, combined with the cool
weather of spring, gives better grow
ing conditions than August planting.
Plants may also be set in the fall,
if extra attention and care are given
IL hOco HOI pay W otJ lhC
plants in dry soil or in dry season,
unless plenty Of water for irrigation
purposes is available.
Any land that will grow a good
crop Of corn will grow strawberries.
Sod land should never be used if it
can be prevented. as it is likely to
contain grubs and cut-worms, which
will eat off the roots OF newly-set
plants. A well-drained, friable clay
loan is probably best for straw
berries-a soil that warns up easily
and yet will hold sufficient moisture
for the crop.
Strawberries require rich soil,
hence it is we'll to thoroughly ma
nure the land that is to be used for
the crop In the fall, and plow under
from four to six inches deep. In the
spring disk; drag and smooth thor
oughly. This gives 3 loose soil in
which to set the plants, and firm
open enough to let the roots through.
A northern slope is to be preferred,
as the plants do not start so early
in the spring. They thus escape the
early frosts and they are not SO like
ly to be dried out by the hot winds
at fruiting time. Many growers, how
ever, obtain good results on south
ern slope, in spite of the disadvant-
ages.
Some growers prefer to fruit the
bed only one season; in this case, as
soon as it is through fruiting, the bed
is plowed up and some late crop,
such as turnips or fodder corn, plant
ed on the land. If 1t is desired to

Oakland, Cal.-Over the quivering
body of dying butterfly Mrs. Henry
Barker and Mrs. Ada d. Clement, both
well known matrons in Oakland social
circles, engaged in a hand TO hand
tussle in a room and hallway at the
Key Route inn the other day, which
created q sensation among the guests
and resulted in the police being
called. The trouble arose when Mrs.
Barker, wife of the proprietor of the
hostelry, insisted upon her right to
impale an unusual specimen of genus
lepidoptera with a pin, to the distress
of the more merciful Mrs. Clement.
"Oh, that is cruel, cruel!" exclaimed
Mrs. Clement. "Let us chloroform the
little creature if you must have him
for a collection"
THAT is nonsense" responded Mrs.
Barker, and without further comment
she drew long pin and skewered the
rainbow winged fiutterer and pinned
him on the edge OF waste paper
basket to meet his fate.
There was a scream, and Mrs. Gle
ment made dash for the basket, call
ing to Mrs. Barker to free the butter

prize to the linen room Of the hotel,
followed by Mrs. Clement.

women continued, Mrs. Clement as

to pursue ruthlessly a butterfly into
the room OF a hotel guest and there
impale its quivering body. Mrs. Gle

Premature Burial.

M. Thoinot, professor Of forensic
medicine to the Paris Academic de
Medicine, has been lecturing upon
premature burial, an accident the fear
of which is, perhaps, not so prevalent
as 1t Vas in the days of Edgar Poe.
He gave an interesting description Of
the many inventions devised for the
avoidance of this, including the inser-
ton of q breathing tube in the mouth
of the corpse, which Ia brought
through the lid of the coffin and pro-
jected from the grave. But he declared
that no precaution was so satisfactory
as that Of delaying the burial until
the signs Of putrefaction are apparent.
The provisions Of the code Napoleon,
which ordain that no burial shall take
place until twenty-four hours after
death and inspection by the medical
authority Of the district. are, he said,
entirely adequate on this point, and
IL they are carried out to the full, no
one need have n fear of being bur.
led alive.

POWER CASE WILL
 BE TRIED AGAIN

Montgomery, January SO.-(Special.)- overruling the demurrers of the Brming- ham, Montgomery and Gulf Power com pany, in the case of the state ex. rel. Ber- jamin Russell against the above company, Judge w. w. Pearson has practically set the case back to it's starting point and .. will be tried over on February 9. The case involves the asking of the forfeiture of the charter of the power company on the grounds that it had not begun business within F months after it's organization and that it was not bona fide organ ization.
 1t grew out of the attempt of the Bir- mingham, Montgomery and Gulf company to stop Mr. Russell from building a dam across the Tallapoosa river near Alex ander City, the dam being part of plan to develop water power from that stream
 The demurrer was filed chiefly on teehnI- cal points. such as the interpretation of certain sections of the constitution of Alabama in their relation to certain sec tions of the federal constitution Judge Pearson declares that the charter of the company possibly could not be forfeited under the common law and for that reason a part of the demurrer Is sustained

 AT HIGHLAND AVENUE HOME

Richmond ?. Wetmore, aged 50 years, one of Biuninghams best known citizens, died last night at SEQ o'clock at his home, 2031 Highland avenue.

He called at the office of prominent lawyer Saturday to see about the pur- chase of some land and did not men, ton that he was even feeling ill.
 Mir Wetmore came to Birmingham about g years ago, as young man and went to practising law. After re- maining here three or four years and es- establishing himself thoroughly, he went back to Livingston and returning to Bir- mingham brought with him his bride, who was Miss Liddell Lide, daughter of Hugh Lide, a prominent citizen of Liv- ihgston.
