Revelations of a Wife

Curiously enough. considering the

Dickys mother knew the secret
of the vase. and under a pretence Of
business allowed no one TO arrange
her flowers but herself ] was sure
that Cousin Agatha, whose malicious
eyes most dreaded, had no idea
Of the real contents OF the vase.
] made up my mind that 1 would
not allow the fellow to take me by
surprise, but that / would confront
him suddenly. Accordingly, as soon
as 1 heard the stealthy pad-pad of
the Japanese feet behind me I
wheeled and faced him. frowning.

angrily, but the face of the Asiatic
did not show by so much the flicker
Of an eyelaSh that he had heard me.
He only said in a tone of assurance:

He had not stopped his plodding.

the strange words while coming to-
ward me. And just as he passed me
he put out one arm with an indie
scribably snaky motion, and with his
long, tapering fingers pushed into
the hand that held my handbag
small, sealed envelope. Then, sud
denly and perceptibly increasing his
pace. he pad-padded swiftly along
the street. and turning the corner
was lost to my view.
My first impulse was 10 drop the
little envelope as II il were some
poisonous thing. Weird stories
which I had read of subtle poisonous
vapors being enclosed in sealed let
tiers whirled through my brain until
my sense of the ridiculous came TO
my aid.
The only vapors which Will affect

first looking around TO assure myself
that no one had seen the incident

and thrust the envelope within IL,

In every London paper, these

a new mode. and this is it.
Girls, what would YOU do II the

Would you really like them better
than you do now, or do you like
their rough old coats and their plain
hats and their outrageous shoes. just

Would Americans Follow?

real American will ever wear knee

Aqe of Cedars of Lebanon.

Several efforts to calculate the age of the famous cedars of Lebanon now standing have been made by counting the rings in the heart wood of those that have fallen. These estimates. ac- cording to Prof. A. Henry of the Royal College of Sciences for Ireland, in an article in Country Life, vary from 2,230 years to 2,5OO years, although it may be that they are of slower growth than the specimens tested in other countries. The largest of the cedars is 13 feet in diameter.

THE SUMMER FALLOW.

The effect of summer following upon the conservation of moisture alone is worth the trouble and expense. Often alfalfa planting comes when it is very dry. It must have moisture, and 1t is we'll to conserve the moisture of the preceding six weeks, not only because the plants need it, but because 1t is needed in the soil processes which change dormant forms of plant food to active. These processes are greatest during July and August, when the weather is warm and summer fallow- ing promotes conditions favorable to them. In this connection the constant working of the soil helps to incorporate lime, fertilizer, inoculating material and organic matter with the soil and secure an even distribution of all.
