appointed Henry Meek temporary
weighmaster In tn eeastern hay mar

charged recently, following an in
vestigation by the commissioner.
Bonswor was given two pay envelopes
by mistake, and Commissioner Fen
kell says he failed to return the one
that did not rightfully belong to him.
Bonswor's defense is that he had
drawn his pay in advance and did not
keep track OF his pay envelopes.
When the city treasurer oyerpaid him
by mistake, Bonswor says that he
thought that he was taking what was
due him. He will appeal to the civil
service commission for reinstatement.

in France and so many are the mem

to rank them as game and proclaim
a closed season for them as for par
tridges and pheasants, between April
Is and July Is. Most of the snais
come from the vineyards, and the
chemical solutions with which the
vines are sprayed are as fatal to the
snails as to the phylloxera. The sup

While the Burgundy snalls are far

PRACTICAL VALENTINES.
q T. VALENTINES DAY

q r. VALENTINES DAY has
gradually developed a pSActtcSi
~ side until now almost Ray Fsft
can be appropriately chosen, providsd
there is something in its color or
shape or in the manner Of its wrap
ping which suggests the special oc-
casion.
A Towering plant is a popular form
of modern valentine, more practical
than cut flowers because more endur-
ing. Florists are quick to suggest
details which shall emphasize the val-
entine idea. and the modern flower
shop demonstrates the thought now
given to the artistic arrangement and
presentation Of plants intended as val
entines.
A chubby bsque cupid with bow
and arrow is poised conspicuously on
some plants. while others are deco
rated with bows OF red gauze ribbon
and small pendent hearts. Address
tags show the ingenuity of designers
and there are many appropriate seals
to be used in holding together paper
wrappings. An address tag in the
shape of a big red heart has an
oblong space of white in which to
write the name. and the card of the
giver can be enclosed in a white en-
velope. the address written in red with
broad stub pen and a red heart en-
bossed in the upper right hand cor
ner of the envelope to simulate a
stamp. As in these days there is little
mystery connected with the sending
OF valentines a card is quite as apt
to be enclosed as when a gift is sent
at any other time.
Another flower suggestion for VAL
entine's day is along the line OF the
japanese custom OF making the most
Of two or three blossoms held in a
container OF some Sort which is the

valentine, and receptacles for bonnons
can be found which make the contents
doubly acceptable. Heart shaped DoN--

silk or chintz are among the novelties
for holding candy sent as valentine
and there are elaborate heart shaped
boxes OF rose colored satin and lace
suited for a place on ones dressing
table after the contents have disap-
peared.
Heart shaped sachets, whether small
enough TO wear or e--rvStsSl~ din 49,
sions to hang in dress closet. are
among the well liked valentine gifts.
JNse tiny sachets are usually sent 10
packages Of three or five. They arc

They should be tied with ribbon Of the
same shade and the bow thrust

the idea OF the day.

drawers and closets are usually made

hung among dresses. other heart
shaped sachets are OF red tulle filled
with dried rose leaves or Lavender
and several OF them suspended from
red satin ribbon Being thinly en-
| cased, the fragrance Is diffused
through the room in which they hang.
A novel way to conceal a small gift
sent on st. Valentines day is to put
It in a little bag OF doubled white
crepe paper drawn up at the top with
a paper cord in imitation OF a fabric
| bag. Paste a heart of red glazed paper
on each side or have border of them
around the sides of the bag. This idea
can be prettily carried out in the Civ
ing Of small favors at an entertain
ment on st. Valentines day.
Even the giving OF money as a val
entine has been provided for. There
are heart shaped boxes OF bright red
small enough to hold a gold piece and
there are red pasteboard hearts which
fold like a case for bills with strips
of red ribbon TO hold the check or bill
which Is placed within.
