Fruits ri pened by Drug Vapors.

Horticulturists have for some time
been experimenting on the effects to
be obtained by subjecting plants to
the vapor Of ether, chloroform and
other volatile substances. They have
found that the growth Of many fruits
and flowers can be forced by this
method and have obtained particularly
striking results with ilacs, which they
have thus been able readily to obtain
in winter. An American agriculturist
has experimental more particularly in
the effect of these and other SUBJ
stances on the ripening of fruit His
observations have shown that in the
majority Of cases the more volatile
the substance to which the plant is
treated the more rapid is the ripening.
In forcing the ripening Of dates, for
instance, he found that the best re-
suits were obtained when he employed
acetic, proprionic, Tactic or salicylio
acid. Heat powerfully stimulates the
ripening process and one of the pecul-
1arities of fruits thus forced to ma
turity is that they are generally found
to keep better than those which have
ripened naturally.

Red Tape in Action.

An American, in visiting the London
postofice, observed that the newspa-
per box had large mouth, and, with
the curiosity of the average American
tourist, he stood gazing into it. Sud-
denly bale Of newspapers struck
him and he fell into the box.
His companions hurried to the coun-
tiers to rescue him, but owing to the
red tape sof the English postof1ice the
clerks disregarded their appeals. The
American was in the mail box and
would have to be treated as a mail
matter. They therefore stamped him
and threw him into a compartment
containing provincial newspapers.
The unfortunate mans friends there
upon went to the Chief who listened
phlegmatically to their story, then
asked If their friend was addressed.
On being Informed that he was not,
the chief said:
"rhe matter is simple The man will
remain for six months in the bureau.
At the end of that time, if no one ap-
plies for him, he will be burnt as a
dead letter."

Pantheon and Parthenon.

The Parthenon, or what is left Of
It, stands upon the Acropolis of
Athens. This most famous building
on earth was erected under the ad-
ministration Of Pericles about B. G..
442. It's present ruinous condition
was caused by the explosion of a
bomb during the war between the
Venetians and Turks in 1887. The
Pantheon, at Rome, was built by
Agrippa in B. G. ~, and, unlike the
more beautiful temple at Athens, is
still in fair state of preservation.
The Pantheon is, of course, well
worth seeing, both for its own sake
and on account Of its historic inter
est; but It does not hold tho fame
belonging to the incompatible build.

why there is an iusiatent demand
for some pernanency Of fashion Is
that women are getting so many
different interests now that they
haven't time nor inclination, to
spend their lives in the buying or
making Of clothes.
The woman who is in business.
the woman who is i'm politics. the
woman who is devoting her cner-
3ies to philanthropy or any other
great cause wants to be well
dressed and attraCtivaly dressed.

it makes a particle Of difference
whether sleeves are an inch longer
or shorter this season than last. or
whether there is one plait or two-in

American Fashions For American Women ED0E0IH1 DIX

TN previous articles on this sub
jecr I have said that the effort
that is being made to establish
American fashions for American
women should meet the enthusiast
tic support of all of the women Of
the country, because:
It's patriotic. We believe :ha,
American brains and American lin
gers are just as clever as any IN The
wide world.
It's good business. 1t keeps mil
lions of dollars at home ana that
makes for universal prosperity.
It prevents our being. swindleG.
Most of the imported gowns and
hats we buy were imported only
from the work room to the sales
room, and we are paying 500 or
$50 extra on the article for the bo-
gus Paris label on it.
1t opens up an Immense ana
profitable field Of occupation for
our girls. There is no better bust
ness a talented young woman can
go into than designing and making
artistic hats and dresses.
If still another argument in favor
of patronizing home industries. We're
needed, 1t lies in the hope that when
practical, level-headed, wholesome
American women and men get 20
work on devising garments for their
cOmpatriots. the national spirit will
make the dress question less OF 4
nightmare than it is at present.

Some few women there viii al

like to do, if 1t were not for the
eternal dress proposition.
If this sort of rational fashion

Some color is given to this hope
by the fact that the only two dis
tinctive garments that American
ingenuity has so far put forth have
been a boon to enslaved woman
hood. These are the shirtwaist
and the short skirt, and what they
have meant to the sex that has
been going around for ages swell
