SERVICE AT AFTERNOON TEA
Flower Basket to Hold the Cakes is
One Of the Best Of the Ideas
Recently Evolved.

For the woman who loves a cup of
tea in the afternoon and who also
likes small cookie or cheese cracker
or some such tid-bit to nibble while
slipping her tea, there is a new sug7
gestion in the way of serving the wa
fers and cakes.
Often even sandwich plate will be
too small to hold as many crackers
as are needed when three or four
friends drop in for a cup of tea and
gossip, and for this a flower basket,
the style that is fiat with a tall handle,
generally used for the garden when
picking flowers, is just the thing, for
it holds a most surprising number of
cakes, and in this way one can easily
pass large number Of tid-bits at one
time without the least Inconvenience.
and for crackers, decorated with jelly
and cheese and such edibles as cannot
be laid on top of each other, this fiat
basket is unsurpassed.

slow to Feed Your Horse"

Over one-half Of the diseases which
horses are subject to are caused by
wrong feeding. Correct feeding is
really such simple matter that there
is no reason why every horse should
not be fed properly. Violation of
one of few simple rules spells death
to thousands of horses every year.
1t will pay every horse owner to learn
these rules by heart and put them
into practice. Here they are:
"Horse Feeding Rules"
l. Do not feed too much or too lit
tie. Feed just enough to hold the ami
mails weight while doing his work
properly. For 1,000-pound horse on
full work normal ration is 10 pounds
of timothy or mixed hay and IL
pounds of oats day
2. Feed three times a day and at
the same time each day. Regularity
keeps the horse from fretting and
aids digestion.
3. Do not feed grain or water when
too warm and tired. Wait half an
hour, feeding little hay. When
AO1 80 - IOO HdIul 1Oi water ne is TOO
warm for grain.
4. Water before feeding, except a
little hay while cooling off. If you wa
ter after feeding the horse drinks too
much and it chills the stomach and
interferes with digestion. Give all
the water he wants, but at the proper
time. Even very warm horse may
have dozen swallows if he is kept
travelling for while afterward. Wa
ter too dirty or stale for you to drink
is too dirty for your horse. Give clean
water only.
5. Feed hay or other roughage be-
fore the grain. The horse eats it
slower and it aids digestion by sep
arating the grain instead of it's form
ing a compact mass which the stom-
ach juices cannot work on we'll.
6. Never use moldy or damaged
feed. 1t is cheaper in price but much
dearer in the long run because it
| often causes collie and acute or
chronic indigestion.
7. Dusty hay or grain must be
moistened or it will cause wind trou-
bles and aggravate eye infections.
Dust is frequent cause of heaves. =
8. Make changes in the ration very
gradually or your horse will 20 of

Arabian Aonev.

Arabian honey, which is frequently
mentioned by historians as an i'm
portant export from Alden in early
times, Is no longer an item in the ex-
port trade. Small quantities, how
ever, continue to come from Mokalla,
400 miles east of Alden, and it is also
exported from that place to India in
small quantities. The decline in the
honey and wax industry has been
gradual for centuries, and is attributed
to diminution in the rainfall The
honey that comes to market in Alden
is packed in gourds and goatsllins and
sometimes in hollow pumpkins.

A turban and veil are pictured
here developed in white. The turban
Is of crepe Georgette with veil of rich
net bordered with white English
Grape. There is no trimming on the
turban but the Grape border on the
veil pinned to the front of the turban
and turned back provides a beautiful
decoration.
Almost duplicate of this model is

demonstrate that it is now simply a
matter of choice between black and
white mourning. The introduction Of
Grape in the body of the hat or in
the veil or trimming is significant Of
mourning and makes these models
appropriate for first or deep mourn

where acknowledged as correct for

Starting a Blackberry Patch.

New paintings of blackberries
should be made just as soon as the
ground is free from frost and dry
enough to work with. Plant the cut
tings in rows, three feet apart in the
row, and have the rows from six to
eight feet apart. Remember that
blackberries multiply and form solid
row of canes in a comparatively short
time, hence do not plant too thickly.
Blackberries will grow In almost
any soil, but it must not be too dry
location, as they require good deal
of water or the fruit will be dry and
pithy.
They seem to do better in a mod
erately good soil than in a very rich
one, as excessive feeding produces
stalks and leaves instead of fruit.
The seed bed should be we'll pre-
pared and leveled before putting in
the cuttings. In setting, be sure to
get the earth firm about the cuttings,
and water occasionally during the
first month.
Blackberries will need some cu1tiva-
ton, particularly during the first
year. A good plan is to grow low
garden crops between the rows and
give them ordinary vegetable cu1tiva-
ton. This will make the ground yield
two crops for one cultivation.
Do not allow the berry rows to
spread more than two feet wide They
will form a. solid mass unless kept
down between the rows.
Prune in the fall or winter by re-
moving all of the old stalks, cutting
them of at the ground. Cut back the
new wood a half with the pruning
shears. This causes the formation of
fruit buds instead of wood and leaves.
There are rather large number of
good varieties to select from and your
scotsman will be glad to advise you
ing varieties like Early Harvest and
Snyder do excellently in northern lat
itudes as we'll as in the south. FL
dorado is an old standby with small
fruit farmers and it is not subject to
the parasitic disease known as black
berry cane rust. This disease is hard
to overcome and the best cure is to
cut out all infected canes as socn Is
the rusty spots are noticed.
Blackberries are hardy and bear
| every year. The fruit is delicious,
either preserved or fresh, and It can
be made into excellent wine or cor
dial.
On a larger scale one can count on
selling at least an average of 5000
worth Of berries yearly per acre, and
often as high as $500 to $500 worth.
The expense of cultivation and pick
ing running about $50 per acre. This
offers an excellent proposition to the
suburbanite with few acres.

Hogs of different ages and sizes
will not do we'll in one herd. They
should be separated into small herds,

and production, and with large fatten-

Daisy Markham, Actress, to
Get That from Marquis
She Sued.

LONDON, July 1.-TWO hundred
and fifty thousand dollars and all the
costs of the suit is the price the
Marquis of Northampton has agreed
to pay to settle the suit for breach
of promise brought against him by
the actress. Miss Daisy Markham.
whose real name is Miss Violet Moss.
The costs will amount to a consider
able sum, on account of the number
of distinguished counsel engaged to
plead for the opposing parties.
The marquis, better known as Earl
Compton, only recently succeeded to
the title at the age of q years. The
plaintiff is well known both in
America and the British Isles under
her stage name.
The settlement was announced
when the case was called in the High
Court of Justice this morning in a
courtroom crowded with fashionable
women and actresses. who had come
In anticipation of listening to some
interesting evidence
The marquis had previously offered
$4,000 to settle the case. and many
people had thought Miss Markham
unwise not to accept the offer. When
Miss Markham insisted on proceed
ing with the suit London gossips an
ticipated that she had q sensational
story to tell, and interest in the suit
rose accordingly.
The actresses lawyer explained that
Miss Markham met the marquis last
year when he made a promise of
marriage to her, which was not de-
MED Subsequently at the desire of
his father the marquis broke off the
engagement. In doing so he wrote to
Miss Markham that he wanted her to
believe his action had been taken
from a sense of duty, genuinely be-
lieving it best for both parties.
The marquis further wrote: you
do not know how these so-called la
dies will treat you, and really could
not bear to see you suffering 1t. oh,
If l could but escape from my posi-
ton; you will always be my ideal;
my beautiful dream"
The letter concluded, Your broken
hearted BIN" This was the Marquis
of Northampton nickname.
Henry Il. Duke, counsel for the de-
PENDANT, said in confirming the set
Element that when the Marquis of
Northampton, who was then Earl
Compton, asked his fathers consent
to his marriage with Miss Markham,
the father laid upon him an absolute
prohibition and took from his son a
solemn engagement that he would
not pursue his desire to marry the
plaintiff.
