"If parents would begin to speak Eng

the work of a primary school teacher
would be lightened by half," said one

"Half the children who start going to

Rumors of the existence of a seedless
apple have raised the hopes of the lovers
of the king of fruit for several seasons
pat, and the famous orchard at Grand
Junction, Col., which, it is expected, will
revolutionize the apple industry, as the
famous seedless orange cutting from
P.ahia has revolutionized the citrous in
dustry, is now well established and in
full bearing, so that unless some catas
trophe overtakes it the Spencer seedless
apple promises to become a national by-
WOTd.
The American ABriculturalist vouches
for the fact that the orchard now con
tains about 50 trees, ranging from 6 to
14 years. 'While the variety is not ab
solutely free from seeds, it is parctically
so. and there is only a semblance ot a
rnre. It is quite fortunate that the
Spencer seedless is of very good quality
and flavor, of large size and an excel

to the Baldwin.
OR1C1X OF "BLACK MARIA."
"Black Maria" is a familiar term, with
an origin more or less mysterious. It
has been suggested that "Maria" really
represents the old word "marinated,"
which meant transported, or "married,"
a slang expression formerly applied to
persons chained or handcuffed toge
ther on the way to jail. But more at
tractive is the story that in the old
colonial days a gigantic and brawny nc
gress kept a sailors' hoarding-housc at
Boston and frequently lent some strength
to the cause of law and order. Once
she took three sailors to the lockup
unassisted. "Send for Black Maria,"
it is said, became a regular way of
hinting that a man ought to he jailed.

Tho Cure- For fc'cnndal.
It Is told of Hannah More that she
had a good way of managing tale
bearers. It is said that whenever
she was told anything derogatory of
another her invariable reply was:
"Come, we will go and ask if this be
true." Tho effect was sometimes lu
dicrously painful. The talebearer
was taken back, stammered out a
qualification, or els9 begged that no
notice might be taken of the state
ment. But the good lady was inex
orable. Off she took tho scandal
monger to tho scandalized to make
inquiry and compare accounts. It
Is . not likely that anybody ever a
second time ventured to repeat a gos
sipy story to Hannah More, says
Modern Women. One would think
her method for treatment would be a
sure cure for scandal.
An Avaricious Woman.
The modern woman is often ac
cused of extravagance, but when ac
cusing a person of ovor-llberallty in
every-day life it Is as well to re
member that over-carefulness In
money becomes just as reprehensible
us over-exuavaganca.
A woman who carried love of
money to an incredible extreme was
Lady Margaret Jardine, sister of tho
first Duke of Queensfoury. Although
her husband was a ricli muu. Lady
Margaret would actually curry foot
pusseiigerB across the little River
Annan for a half-penny, end when
ever thore was a fair or market day
she would isir. n the banks of tho
stream ull day ions waiting for cus
tomers, says Home Notes.
She usually woro rags to savo her
clothes, but on the rare occasions
when sho visited anywhere she packed
up a few decent garments which she
slipped on before entering the house,
exchanging them for her dirty ones
when leaving.
On Dressing Little Doys.
When the three-year-old child
doffs his infant skirts 'he dons a
RuBsIan-blouse suit. This consists
of. bloomer trousers, full In the seat
and leg aud gathered Into a band
below tho knee, and a blousa made
in one piece, long enough to reach
from the neck to just above the
knee, pleated, and belted at the
waist. Sometimes the bolt is of
leather, sometimes of the fiiimo ma
terial as the suit. It never fastens
tightly, but droops to a point in
front in the modo niailo familiar a
couple of years ago by the extremists
in the straight-front, long-waiBted
effects,
Altuon'gh the general stylo of these
suits Is practically the same, the ma
terials as weft as the minor details
leave room for variety. The cult
for dressy wear are usually white
pique or duck all whiteand trimmed
occasionally with narrow bands
of blue or red, or adorned with but
tons. I speak of "trimming" and
"adornment," but nothing must be
allowed to detract from the severity
of the style. Any garniture Is in the
shape of simple pipings of tho color
preferred, and buttons are big pearl
affairs that will stand a visit to the
wash tub. Harper's Bazar.
One's Heretics Little World.
A woman 1 know is counted poor
among her friends. She has little
or no money, no health, much love,
one sunshiny window, and a plant or
two. Each one with whom she be
gan life has grown rich, occupying
great and Important plnces, outstrip
ping her like a gay procession that
sweeps by one who has fallen dis
comfited by the wayside. Sometimes
the woman has compared her lot and
rebelled, as she herself has told rw.
She, too, has cried out for the mean
ing of It all, the secret of her own
failure and their success. "Why,
why, why?" r,ho has monaned in de
spair. "What ought I to do, how
ought I to have done?" The other
day she came to see me. I saw a
now light in her eyes, and saw that
she had found strength.
"What Is it?" I asked.
"Only this," she answered. "I've
studied into It ull and thought.
Their world is not my world, nor
my world theirs, and I can do noth
ing to change It. One thing, though,
I can do. Small as It is, I can make
my little world serene." Llllie Ham

For Proper Young Widows.
A young widow, who if not her
self sitting up and taking notice,
yet fears that she may be tho cy
nosure of critical eyes, sends the
following appeal to Vogue:
"Please give advice for mourning
for a young widow. What is the
correct bat and veil? Are elbow
sleeves good taste? What collar
and cuffs are worn? What materials
and trimmings? Give model for a
traveling coat."
Here are the latest rules Vogue
gives for the guidance of young
wictows desiring to mourn properly:
If you observe tho strictest stan
dards you should wear a crape bon
net and veil in town and a crape
hat with crape or chiffon face veil
in the country. There Is only one
correct way of draping a widow's
veil. We do not care for any of the
fancy draplngs which are sometimes
Been. These are not good taste.
Elbow sleeves are not good taste
in deep mourning, as they make too
much of an attempt at dressiness.
Collars and cuffs of sheer white or
gandie are worn by widows. These
have a deep hem and measure three
Inches or so in width. For materials
use minis veiling, Henrietta cloth,
crepe de chine, chiffon, dull veilings
or taffetas.
Lace and embroidery are not cor
rect trimmings, but you can use
dull-finished ribbon, net, footings
and hem-stitched ruffles. All white
can be worn for summer, as it is
as deep mourning as all black for
country wear. All your gowns
should be Bimply made. For your
coat use dull-finished pongee, with
trimmings cf stitched taffeta.
There are lines which do not
wrinkle easily, and it is of these
that one's morning frocks should be
made.
Tho rule seems to ba that tho
Ecnarats coat of taffeta shall be
black or dark no matter how light
the gown Is with which it is to be
worn.
Mohair Swiss is the ncme of one
of the most alluring Bummer ma
terials, and a beautiful piece in a
delicate roB3-pfnk with dot of black
is forty-five inches wide.
Floating streamers of gossamer
fabrics appear as ties worn with
sailor costumes and the elaborate
reter Pan waists as well as in auto
mobile veils and hat ties.
The linen parasol with a graceful
lacey pattern In French embroidery
disposed over the entire surface is
one of the prettiest of the many
handsome novelt!c3 displayed thia
season.
Bands of insertion alternating
with box pleats of the same width
make u pretty yoke for the summer
blouse, tho result being especially
good If the sleave tops aro treated
in tho same way.
To secure quite the most approved
effect, the up-to-date young lady who
wears slippers with embroidered
heels salects from her supply of
hosiery, stockings embroidered ia
the same color and design.
English eyelet, which was so much
In vogue last season for linen suits,
is seldom seen now except on bouse
gqwns, and not at all on separate
coats. French raised embroidery
und applique form the decoratiou in
stead.
The single line of feather stitching
near one edge of trimming bands is
much more distinctive than a line
at each side. Those who are adept
at this sort of needlework will find
this a slmpla means of decorating
a light weight coat and skirt suit.
Horizontally-applied bands of dull
black ribbon form the skirt yoke of I
a black eollenne gown. Separated '
by a small upaoo the line or ribbon
tend to increase the apparent size
of tho hips, therefore this style at

Marking Ink on Linen,

thus: Taint the mark with a solu

as the Ink disappears the linen should

Hints on Marketing.
In the first place, the housewife
ought, where It Is possible, to do her
marketing herself, and pay cash for
everything she purchases. Thl3 Is the
only way In which she can be sure of
getting the best goods at the lowest
price.
It is the only way compatible with
economy, because, if a servant be en
trusted with the buying she will, if
she Is not a good Judge of the quality
of urticles, bring home those she can
get for the least money (and these
are seldom the cheapest); and even
If she Is a good judge, It Is ten to one
against her taking the trouble to
make a careful selection.

To (Jet Hid of the Fly.
Le Matin, of Paris, has offered a
prize for the best method of getting
rid of housa flies. The offer has
drawn forth an essay entitled "I)e
lenda Musca," which professes to give
a method by which the pest may be
destroyed. The remedy Is not Bought
in fly papers or fly traps of any kind.
The breeding places of the insect
must be sought out and the evil dealt
with there.
The writer of the essay tried a mix
ture of soda and chloride of zinc, us
ing eleven pounds to thirty-five cubic
feet of material. This was found ef
fective, and it Is recommended for
closed tanks, but not for places where
the poisonous solution could drain
away. Petroleum at the rate of
about a quart to every eleven square
feet of surfaco was also tried, but
the effect was found not to be suf
ficiently lasting. Coal tar was found
to give better results. Raw petroleum
or raw schiet oil the residue in dlB
tlllation was found to give the best
results. About two quarts of this
mixed with water were used for every
square feet of surface. This forms
a stratum of oil in the drain or over
the surface of the solid, which effec
tually prevents the development of
the egg or grub. And this protective
coat of oil, it Is further pointed out,
facilitates the development of anaero
bic bacteria, which liquify the solids,
and so render them unfit breeding
places for flies.

Although there is a decrease In

In tho leather glovo and mitten In

There was a decrease of eleven
per cent, in the number of establish

of six per cent. A decrease of twenty-five

Inter
(ood Colors For Houses.
Is not generally known not
It
even
tints
than
among painters why certain I
and colors wear much better
others on housec, and the
knowledge of Just what tints are best
to use Is, therefore, rather eazy.
One writer on paint, in a recent
book, says that etperiments seem to
show that those colors which resiBt
or turn back the heat rays of the
sun will protect a house better than
those which allow these rays to pass
through the film.
Thus red is a good color because
it turns back, or reflects, tho red
rays, and the red rays are tho hot
rays.
In general, therefore, the warm
"tones are good and the cold tones aro
poor, so far as wear is concerned.
In choosing the color of paint for
your house, select reds, browns,
grays and olives which, considering
me various tones these tints will
produce, will give a wide range from
which to choose.
Avoid the harsh tlnf3, such as cold i
yellows (like lemon), cold greens I
(like grass green, etc.), and tho
blues.
It must be understood that no vir
tue is claimed for tints In themselves,
irrespective of the material", used in
me iiBiin. Any color will fade, and
the pRlnt will scale off, if adulterated
white lead or canned paint is useJ.
but if one is careful to uso the best
white lead some well-known brand
of a reliable manufacturer and gen
uine linseed oil. the warm tints men-
uoncu above will outwear the samo
materials tinted with the cold colore.
At their recent joint meeting the For
eign Mission Hoards of the United
Slates and Canada appointed a com
mittee to investigate the religious condi
tions of the i.to.cxxi.ooo people in Rus
sia, with a view to beginning Protest
ant mission work among them.
