One gentleman in York county re-
ported that he expected a crop of
five thousand bushels,
the circumstances, lost the entire
crop, and will not have a peck of
apples in his orchard. Many have
reported more or less injury in their
orchards, while some of the advanced
fruit growers, who have pruned
and sprayed and kept their trees
vigorous, will have two-thirds of a
regular crop. This means, of course,
improved quality of fruits because
of the reduced numbers.
Frost injury demands no special
attention on the part of the grow-
er further than keeping the trees in
good condition, so that they will
out grow it. It is not blight, and
will not change to blight. It does
not continue to infect and injure the
trees, as does blight A twig that is
blighted retains the germs of the
disease within the wood and bark,
and these germs will live to continue
to work downward beneath the
bark and extend the blight. While
it is not necessary to cut off and
burn twigs injured by frost, it is
advisable to thus treat those that
were damaged by blight. The chief
reason for failure in the control of
blight is that persons pruning trees
infected with the disease have not
pruned low enough to remove it. It
is not sufficient to cut it out at the
line between the living and dead
wood. The cut should be made at
least one foot below the lower limit
of . the blighted - area. I= this is
done and the pruning knife or shears
sterilized frequently, as by passing
through’a handful of straw or paper
and the stump or stub is also washed
with an antiseptic solution or painted
the parts containing the blight germs
con be removed, and the disease
can be effectively checked.

New York, June 12—
One has only to study the outlines
of the fashionable crowd to recognize
that the influence of Japan extends
way beyond the borders of the Pa-
cific coast. The drawn in drapery
at the foot of the skirt, the up-
ward swirl! of the lines in front, the
wide sashc. and girdles, all show a
similarity to the kimono clothed
Japanese ‘oman. There are modi-
fications aud differences to be sure,
but the source that inspired the de-
signers .is unmistakable. To eyes
unaccustomed to the change the new
silhoutte is neither graceful nor
becoming, but custom makes so
much difference in eriticism that
when a little more modification is
made, we may come to like the
lines and cease to find the effect
grotesque.
THE GATHERED SKIRT.
The gathered skirt is constantly
gaining adherents, which is not sur-
prising as it suits the filmy stuffs
used so admirably, and certainly the
folds gained by small clusters of
pleats or gathers here and there on
the skirt .are. a rest. to eyes tired
with’ the drawn skimpiness of the
past few seasons.
CONSERVATIVE STYLES.
There are always a number of
smart conservative styles to be had
and the majority of the well dress-
ed select these for all ordinary
wear. It is the flamboyant costume
that attracts attention in the thro: g
