Neat hoxes, full measure, no priming, but close sorting. —1If you will muleh your currants and gooseberries now they will hold their fruit much longer and not shed their leaves so soon. —Remeniber the Bordeaux mixture is not a specific but a preventive—hence the time to use it is before the plums begin to rot—not after. 5 — Don’t fail to spray your grapes. with Bordeaux mixture at least every ten days during the next thirty. Late varieties can be sprayed later than early. —Don’t quit spraying apples too soon, that second brood of the codlin moth needs particular attention. Save enough Paris green or arsenate of lead to give your trees an application about August 15th. —Don’t make the apple orchard the dumping place for all the old machinery, boards and rails and ‘‘a free-for-all” pas- ture for your stock. Horses, cattle and hogs are not conducive to good orcharding unless restricted to the latter for short peri- ods only. —Pick your cherries for market, both sweet and sour, with the stems on and never when they are wet with dew or rain. Sweet cherries for home use are much bet- ter picked with the stems on, otherwise they deteriorate in avery short time. With the sours it is not so material. —If you want good tips don’s fail to cul- tivate your raspberries, not deep but enough to keep down the weeds. Sweeps ob your cultivator are just the thing. As soon as berries are picked cat out the old canes and barn them at once. In so doing you destroy many insect enemies. —The old strawberry plantation can be readily cleaned up aod made to do service another year if not so badly infested with white clover, the white grub, and contains varieties not generally infected with "the rust. Mow the site as close as possible. Rake mulch and cuttings if heavy into small winrows and haul off, if trash is not too heavy and in weather very dry burn with: out raking. We prefer the latter plan, as you destroy many insects ‘and rust spores. It you have the matted row, leave narrow strips of the latest growth and cultivate be- tween, as you would in a new site. —Injury to plants by insects falls under two heads : firsi, when the plant itself has been eaten, second, where the juice has been sucked ont, leaving the tissues. In- seots causing injury of the first ‘class are called biting or chewing insects, such as grasshoppers, caterpillars, cabbage and army worms. They bave well developed jaws for cutting and chewing plants. They can be destroyed by using poisons such as the arsenies. The insects of the second type have long lance like beaks which they insert into the tissues of the plants sucking out the juice, cansing the plant to collapse, wilt and die. This class includes all the scald insects, plant lice, squash bug, harle- quin and terrapin bog, eto. The external application of arsenical poisons to plants would have little or no effect upon this group; as the poison does not enter the cells of the plants. Materials are used to act ex- ternally on the bodies of such insects either as a caustic or to smother or stifle them by closing their breathing organs. Insects do not breathe through their mouth, as do higher animals, but throngh small openings on either side of their beaks, called spira- cles. By spraying anything of a caustic or oily nature over the body, these spiracles are closed and the creature is destroyed. These remarks apply especially to insects which feed upon the exterior of plants or pass the greater portion of their lives in an exposed condition, where they can be readily reached by one of the methods men- tioned. Insects of both classes at times feed upon plants above the ground, fora short while, and pass a portion of their . lives upon the roots below the surface. The white grub . or root lice are common ex- amples, the former being a biting insect, while the latter is one of the suckling group. Still other insects live in straw, grain, seeds and manufactured products of the mill, where neither arsenics nor: irri- tants can be used. In such places the fumes of various gases are employed for their destruction. Farmers should care- fally consider the nature of the insect be- fore applying any remedy.—American Ag- riculturist. Ducks are not as good foragers as hens, nor such prolific layers, and unless fed and sold carefully are not very profitable, says *‘Country Life in America.”’ Owing to the artificial conditions under which the Pe- kins are reared, they are powerless to pro- vide themselves with the kind of food and quarters which their instincts call for. They have to eat what is provided and sle :p where they are put. The food, there- fore, must be such as will give hest results, and the sleeping room kept clean, dry and well ventilated; for, while ducks thrive in moist sod and in. the water all day, they will not stand damp, dirt or poor ventila- tion at night. Also they require a shelter from the sun. If exposed to its direct rays they become blind, lose appetite, and are very diffioult to fatten. The small birds have vertigo, and frequently die. t At, Clovernook Duck Ranch they train hop vines into arbors over the yards. The vines grow forty feet in a short time, make a cool dense shade and are very beautiful, especially when in hloom. Also the Giant Russian sunflower is grown in lanes and hedges. It quickly attains a tropical lux- uriance, and is sapecial] y satisfactory where yards are often changed. Fruit trees and grape vines also throw a fine shadow. It is well to plant an occasional crop on the duck grounds. Last year they cut four heavy growths of clover from a yard thus seeded down. 4 Now as to care and food. There is no fowl that responds so promptly to good care and food as does the Pekin duck, nor any bird whose size and egg production are so completely under humau control. The breeding flock reqnires the year round as near a ‘‘free range’’ as circumstances will admis, and where streams, lakes or ponds are available the ducks enjoy a specially happy time. When they do net have them they grub around and are fairly well con- tented, but their grimy feathers contrast unfavorably with the milk white plumage of their more favored sisters. It is a pathet- io, though interesting, sight, to watch birds that have never seen water outside their drinking fountains, go through all the movements of taking a bath—even to the graceful, diving movements and the throw- ing of spray from head and wings. ——Sabseribe for the WA TCHMAN. They claim that, after much trouble on their part to secure con- sistent effects in the Colonial house, the fashionable fad just now, many people al- most entirely spoil the result with modern pictures. Of the novelties in shirt waists, one is the broad cross plait over the shoulders. The yoke in the back is seen on very few "is, though it is by no means uncom- mon on the front. The very plain shirt waist, baving two broad hox plaits over the shoulders. extending to the waist back and front, and with bishop sleeves ending in a snug cuff, is the generally accepted model. Mrs. Waterman, sixty years old, is about to enter Cornell university as a freshman. She expects to take the full college course. She does this to get knowledge that will help her in some researches she purposes making in Italy. Shesay, *‘I find I learn faster than I did forty years ago.” How effective coarse, undyed linen can be made, was seen at the. Haslemere show in the Home Arts and Industries in the Al- bert Hall. In the applique linen industry there was a very large portiere, or curtain, of strong gray linen, on which were appli- que bunches of grapes and green foilage— all in linen—and finished with a deep green linen horder. There are some women who are born to make every one comfortable, and however much a well meaning woman may try to be considerate of others, she is quickly out- classed by this born comfort. This woman makes no seeming effort to watch out for the happiness of others, but itis just as natural for her to do those little things which makes life pleasant as it is for the ordinary woman to sit and wait for otheis to do things for her. The secret of this woman’s success in be- ing such a comfort is that she is thoroughly unselfish. Self always comes last with her. She never thinks of the personal effort she must make to achieve some things if it is necessary that such things should be done for ‘another’s comfort. She never thinks that she receives no reward for her acts,bus keeps on steadily doing for others, and is adored hy all who are fortunate enough to have been ministered to. Green parasols are tremendously swag- ger. The light they cast on the face is an- other story. No doubt, they save the eyes, though. When beating eggs a small pinch of salt added to the whites will cause them to beat to a stiff froth more readily. Bias folds in self-color is the trimming of the moment. Tucked lawn ties with embroidered turn- overs of pale batiste are fascinating bar- gains. oi The summer wardrobe that lacks a kilted walking skirt is sadly incomplete, Wide sailor collars are in evidence on many of the linen colored frocks. From now on very cheap lengths of lawn and the like may be had. it Blouse hodices are much worn, the new- est design in them taking unto itself the title of Tuxedo. This is cut low at the front, as is the manly coat of that name, to show an expanse of shirt front and a prim collar and tie. ‘ The narrow flat revers also imitate those of the masculine garment, rounding widest at the bust and narrowing below.almost to a point. For Tuxedo blouse costumes in cloth and other woolen materials Ping-Pong satins—white dots on a black or colored ground—are the favorite trimmings. A stylish blouse dress of red ladies’ cloth with garnishings of black and white Ping- Pong. The sleeves, which have turn back cuffs of the spotted satin, are cut three- quarter length that those of the white lawn shirt waist worn beneath may form puffs at the wrists. The back of the blouse is in one piece, fitted at the under arm seams and held down tightly by the hias satin belt. The front pouches in the way now so much seen and, girdling low, it is ornamented just be- low the bust with two large fancy buttons of smoked pearl and silver. The gored skirt accompanying this model is of a riding habit plainness. It is unlin- ed and short enough to escape the ground in walking. The length of skirts shows no likelihood of being diminished during the summer, but instead of clinging around the feet in embarrassing folds, they stand out in well rounded flutes on the ground, an effect which requires a very skillful cutting to compass. This is the plain skirt, which must de- pend on its cut alone, but there are many devices for imparting the desired fullness among the most dressy trimmed skirts. Some have a very full volant joined on under seroll trimmings or applique, while others employ fan-shaped plaitings let in round the feet, the joining at the top being hidden with devices of buttons and straps or vandykes of lace. Rough, heavy Irish crochet braid is now engaging amateur lace workers, The woman with a contented mouth is rare as the dodo today. A cursory glance at the occupants of any street car will point to that fact. Women still smile when oc- casion demands. At the dinner table, luncheons, at teas, at social functions of all sorts, the modern woman’s face is wreathed in smiles, her lips turn np. rioutously at their corners,but when she is alone her face hesays ber, says a writer in Collier's week- y. Study the mouths of the women who ride alone in their luxurious carriages ; watch the faces of the women in the street cars ; note the woman anywhere who believes ‘herself unobserved ; always the downward droop. TIPS ON THE FASHIONS. Large, plain white felt hats are the smartest onting headgear. Embroidered mousseline medallions are very lovely. Embroidered colored linen turn-overs are quite the top of the vogue. In millinery all white is first choice. Next comes white with dainty blue or green. A fichu trans- forms a number of otherwise simple and and washable house gowns. These days low necked and short sleeved nightgowns are the sellers. A cherry paraeol is smart with a pongee or grass linen rig. Sois a red hat, or at least one with a bunch of cherries. The coining mill of the Cambria Powder company’s plant at Seward, near Johns- town, blew up about 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon, killing three men and injuring five others; one of whom may die. The dead are : J. B. Smith, aged about 40 years, married and has a large family. John Rhodes, aged ‘about 38 years, mar- ried and leaves a family. W. F. Bracken, married and three chil- dren. Charles Drover,of Wapwallopen, Luzerne county, aged 35 years and unmarried. The injured : Frank Wakefield, unmarried ; seriously burned. Thomas Gordon, burned. John B. McCullough, slightly burned about hands and feet. Seymore Allison, slightly burned about the extremities. The explosion occurred as the men were loading a lot of powder on a wagon driven by Rhodes, the team scaring, it is said, and running away. Smith bad charge of the coining mill and the others were sent to the place to assist in loading the kegs into the vehicle. by Suddenly the explosive let go and the flames flew in every direction, the powder sticking on the clothing of the men and then becoming ignited by the flames, burn- ing into the flesh of the victims and black- ening them into charred and shapeless masses. x : A strange feature of the accident is the fact that Drover was able to walk three hundred yards from the scene of the explo- sion before he fell dead from his terrible burns, his flesh, like that of other victims, being practically reduced to a crisp. The shanty in which the coining mill is located was ignited by the explosion of the powder and was burned to the ground but the financial loss is slight. i unmarried ; seriously Alaska a Good Purchase. Alaska, for which the United States paid Russia $7,200,000 in 1867, bas supplied furs, fish and gold amounting to about $150,~ 000,000 in value, about equally divided be- tween these three items. The investments of capital from the United States in Alaska are p1ohably $25,000,000, with a large ad- ditional sum invested in transportation to that territory, and the annual shipments of merchandise to Alaska now aggregate more than $12,000,000,and have aggregated since the purchase nearly or quite $100,- 000,000. Meantime the population has grown from an estimated 30,00 at the date of purchase to 32,052 in 1890, 63,592 in 1900, and an estimated 75,0000 at present. Between 1870 and 190] the number of far seals taken on the Pribilof Islands was 2,187,317, of an estimated value of $35,- 000,000, and the value of the seal and oth-. er furs taken since the purchase of Alaska by the United States is estimated at abont $50,000,000. The fur seal industry, which has declined in the last few years, was suc- ceeded by the fishing indnstry, Alaska now supplying about one-half of the salmon. of the country. The value of the salmon pack in Alaska last year is estimated at about $7,000,000, and the total value of the fish taken in Alaska since the purchase about ‘1 $50,000,000, while the value of gold and silver mined since the purchase is about $50,000,000. Hiccoughs Cured with a String. Girl Who Had Suffered Three Years Made Well in Ten Minutes. Hiccoughs of three years’ standing were cured Friday at Bellevue Hospital with a bit of string. Miss Sara Blockson, a young Russian girl, of 78 Reade street, N. Y., went to the hospital complaining that for the last three twelvemonths she had been suffering from hiccoughs. The physicians examined ber and gave it as their opinion that her affec- tion was largely pervous. She had the symptoms of nearasthenia. The physicians tied about her waist a cord so tightly that the spasmodic move- ment of the diaphragm was controlled. She was unable to hiccough any more. After ten minutes the cord was removed and the young woman was told she was cured. The manner of the physicians was either 80 convincing or the cure was so radical that from that moment she ceased to be disturbed. Among the Meanest of Many Husbands. Pawned His Wife's Teeth and Skirt to Buy Circus Ticket. : Justice Coughlin, of Paterson, N. J., be- lieves that he has found ‘‘the meanest | man.” He is Tanis Veenstra; a farm laborer. Veenstra was before the Magis- trate on Saturday on an informal complaint of pawning his wife's false teeth aud her best skirt to get money for a circus ticket. ‘‘He admitted the theft when he came home drank Saturday night,”’ Mrs. Veen- stra told the Justice, ‘‘and I want to have bim arrested for larceny. He stole my teeth and skirt while I was aslezp, and when I discovered the loss in the morning, he Si that I must have swallowed the teeth. Veenstra was warned hy the Justice to || produce the teeth, and he did so after rais- | ing ninety cents, the price for which he | pawned them. Johnny Knew. The class was reciting and little Johnny Fellows was the last one on the line. The teacher started with the head and asked what was the feminine of ‘hero.”’ No. 1 sho k her head. It passed to No. 2. She missed it, and so did No. 3. As it came nearer and nearer to Johnny he be- came very much excited, apparently know- ing the answer,and waved his band frantic- ally. ; ‘‘Well, Johnny,’ said the teacher at last, “everybody had missed. Now, can you tell me the feminine of hero ?"’ “‘Shero!’’ shouted Johnny, exultingly.— | New York Troubles.

News has been received in Paris of fierce ca, between Mahdists and the French. The principal fight was near Bir Alali, ninety miles northeast of Lake Tchad. The Mah- dists, who were assisted by deserters from a native regiment, were completely over- whelmed. A horde of Tnareg Arabs charged within thirty paces of the French guns and were annihilated. Nearly 1400 dead were count- ed in the native trenches. Nine hundred rifles were seized and the native stronghold was captured. The losses of the French are not mentioned. Dr. Swallow Reinstated. Rev. Dr. Silas C. Swallow was Sunday evening | recognized as reinstated in all of his ministerial privileges at the service in the Ridge Avenue Methodist church, Har- rishurg..
