REDUCED INFANT MORTALITY.
The Mayor of Huddersfleld, Eng
land, offered a prize of $5 for every
child born during his term of office
which lived at least twelve months.
Though several epidemics occurred,
the mortality was reduced from 122
per thousand to forty-four, largely by
the aid of women who Instructed
mothers.
A DELIGHTFUL RETREAT.
Princess Maria of Rumania, wife
of the Crown Prince of Rumania, has
a most delightful retreat. It is a
nest built high up among the branches
of tall fir trees, and in it the princess
epent the greater part of last sum
mer. The nest is a miniature cot
tage, built for her by the King of
Rumania at Sinaia. A small stair
case gives access to it. Two rooms
and a kitchen comprise the nest, and
they are furnished in a simple and
elegant way.
; SHE'S A CIVIL ENGINEER.
Miss Marion S. Parker, a Detroit
girl and a graduate of Michigan Uni
versity, is a civil engineer: She has
architect's work on several New York
skyscrapers. She designed the Board
Exchange building in the Wall Street
section, a twenty-eight-story monster
that houses 8000 brokers, bankers
and corporation officers. She built
the Astoria, half of the Waldorf-Astoria,
the Whitehall building and a
dozen other notable structures. She
did nearly all the designing alone,
planning the steel work and every
thing from sub-basement to roof.

French carpet and Louis XVI. furni
ture. Her Majesty's bathroom is
quite new and was specially built
out. It is fitted with a bath of
Grecian marble from quarries which
had been disused a thousand years.,

r SHE KEPT ONE SECRET.
The old, old accusation against
woman that she cannot keep a secret.
"A woman," said Miss Anthony, "can
keep an important cecret as well as a
man. The secrets she reveals are
slight and harmless ones, such as any
man would reveal. Where Is the
woman who ever talis a secret that
reflects on her husband or her own
children? I know a man who one
day refused to tell his wife the out
come of a business transaction in
which, naturally, she took a deep
Interest. 'No,' he sneered, 'I won't
tell you. If I did you'd repeat It.
You women can never keep a secret.'
'John,' said the woman quietly, 'have
I ever told the secret about the soli
taire engagement ring you gave me
eighteen years ago being paste?" "
&T?.. "JERKILY GOOD."
"Yes, Julia Is good usually," said
a young girl, who wds running oyer
a list of acquaintances In search of
one who might be able and willing to
kelp her in some work she had under
taken. "If it happened to appeal to
her In Just the right way, and just
the right mood she would be the best
' of help, but tuat is what one never
can be sure of with Julia. She is so
jerkily good."
- She laughed a little over the
phrase that came to her lips, but it
was an apt description. There is a
,great deal of goodness real good
ness In its way that goes by fits,
starts and jerks, and cannot be de
' pended upon to run , steadily and
smoothly. Its 'possessors sometimes
wonder why others do not confide in
them more, why their ati is not
oftener invoked in causes they are
."willing to help. They know them
selves to be kind-hearted and well
meaning, but their prejudices and
unreasonabless, like their better im
pulses, are Jerky, and no one can
be quite sure which will be upper
most. Detroit News-Tribune.
GOOD THINCS TO LET ALONE.
There would be less talk about the
drudgery of farm life if only some
good, over-ambitious ladles knew
enough to let some good things alone.
Like Charles Lamb, they should look
over the enjoyable things of life and
say, "How many good things there
Are that I don't want," instead of
trying to enjoy everything. Many a
woman tires herself out unnecessarily,
and the fact that she lives on a farm
makes her think that it is the farm
-work that is so terrible. I know
many women in towns who are ner--vous
physical wrecks from overwork,
but few people talk about the deadly
monotony and grind of the cities.
-Take flowers, for example. A
country home without flowers would
be a dreary place, but there are some
country homes with flowers that are
dreary places. There are women who
dally and hourly fight with chickens
and pigs and stray cattle for their
flouts, becaus? tli9 yard li not se
curely fenced In. For them flowers
only bring cares, without enjoyment.
A few in the vegetable garden would
give real pleasure and save much
worry and care, but the good women
never seem to think they should let
the flowers alone until the yard is in
proper condition. There are weary
women all over the land who spend
hours putting brush over flower beds,
fencing them in with bits of lumber,
training the family dog to drive out
the intruders, and who make them
selves regular slaves for the sake of a
few forlorn plants. Better let these
alone forever rather than wear your
self to a thread trying to have them.
And then the company some coun
try families have! It is a common
Bight to see three or four buggies,
Sunday after Sunday, in certain farm
yards. Now it is a pleasure to enter
tain your friends in moderation, but
some women Btagger along under a
regular burden of cooking, year in
and year out. In one family the
baby suddenly sickened and died,
and the physician gave it as his
opinion that the child had too much
excitement and handling from com
pany, not only on Sunday, but on
many days in the week. The mother
did her own work, and the visitors
handled and dandled the poor child
until its frail body could not stand
the strain. Mothers with little chil
dren would do well to let company
alone, especially in hot weather.
Aside from the fact that Sunday
should be a day of rest and quiet
during the hot months, from a phys
ical as well as spiritual standpoint,
it adds nothing to the pleasure of the
family to see a pack of children run
ning wild and ruining their clothes
on the day of leisure.
Another good thing to let alone is
elaborate clothing, if you do your
own washing and ironing. I love
pretty, dainty undergarments, but I
do not love to stand hours over an
ironing board smoothing them out;
so my wardrobe Is plain. It I had
plenty of time or could hire some one
at a fair price to do the laundry
work. It would be a pleasure to wear
the ruffles and embroideries, but time
and money are often scarce; so it Is
well to be economical of both. Some
women think it speaks of cleanliness
and energy to display a row of white
petticoats on "the clothes line every
Monday morning, but there are oth
ers wiser who know that gingham
and sateen give just as much service
and comfort with one-tenth the werk,
and that the soft woven underwear
can be pulled into shape without Iron,
ing at all.
Unless there are grown daughters
to help with the cooking, it is well to
let all "fancy work" in this line alone.
In some homes there is ample time
for the elaborate cakes and puddings,
but the busy mother who tries to keep
her table spread with all the deli
cacies her neighbors boast about,
when she has little children or much
sewing, is foolish in the extreme. It
is hard to take a modest pan of rolls
or articles bought in the grocery to
the picnic, and find the others taking
out wonderful cakes and desserts, but
just say to yourself, "When my chil
dren are grown up, I can make fancy
cakes, too." Or it may be that aged
relative has a claim on your time,
making anything but the plainest
kind of housework out of the ques
tion. In any case, remember that
after a while there may be time for
the things that you enjoy doing, but
just now duty comes first.
So try to think out the best plan
for yourself and try to follow it up.
It is hard to give up the things we
love to do, but by and by we may see
our way clear to take them up again.
It may be we must put aside reading,
flowers, fancy work, elaborate cook
ing or music for the sake of our
health and the comfort of others, but
there Is no loss , without its corre
sponding gain. Anything that over
taxes the strength or makes one
cross and peevish is a good thing to
let alone. Hilda Richmond, In the
Country Gentleman.
TRUE SNOBBISHNESS.
Untold depths of snobbishness
among freeborn Americans seem to
be revealed by a recent Incident that
is worthy a place in literature. A
wealthy and cultured family of good
ancestry, but who did not happen to
figure as social leaders in a certain
city, received invitations for a wed
ding among people whom they knew
very well, but whose social aspira
tions were rather more pronounced
than their own. The gift selected
for the bride was a beautiful and ex
pensive clock. ' It was bought at one
of the best shops, and the cards of
the givers were left to be sent with
the clock at a certain date. Time
passed, the wedding came off, but no
acknowledgment reached the people
who sent the clock. The clerk re
membered shipping it with the cards,
but nothing further was known until
a mutual friend of the two families
was moved to make inquiries of the
bride's mother. This lady seemed
to be a little vague about it, but it
eventually transpired that the ambi
tious young bride had removed the
cards of the donors, and had substi
tuted that of a conspicuous society
leader with whom she happened to
have the merest csUlpg r.Q,i,rtt?.o

PLANTING PEAR
Pears can bo planted closer than
apples. A convenient distance is 15
x20 feet. ThAe can be thinned to
20x20 feet when time shall require.
This will be nil the thinning neces
sary, as pears tend to reach up rather
than laterally.
GARDEN PESTS.
The insects most likely to cause
trouble in the garden are the striped
cucumber beetle, Colorado potato
beetle and various flea beetles. All
these can be controlled by the timely
use of Bordeaux mixture and Paris
green.
TRIMMING GRAPE VINES.
Besides that they look untidy,
there is nothing gained by leaving
grape vines unpruned until spring.
Do it any time after the leaves have
fallen. This applies particularly to
arbors near dwellings where neat
ness couuts for so much. New York
Witness.
TREE MARKER.
Take two pieces of wire with
length the distance you wish to plant
trees apart, allowing about two
inches for twist, and fasten a ring
in centre and at each end, set one row
of stakes for guide, they by having
one person for each ring, the one
holding centre ring setting new row
of stakes, they can be set very rap
idly, nearly as fast as one would
walk, leaving stakes S3 guides for
next row. The stake in centre of top
ring being mark for new row. A. is
stakes. I used this and found it very
convenient. M. W. Russell, ia The
Epitomist.
THE STRAWBERRY BED.
Somebody asks: "Shall I cultivate
or hoe my strawberry bed this
spring?" To this the Farm and
Home says: As a rule, no. The bed
should have been clean when it wa
"laid by" last fall. Any weeds which
push through the mulch should be
pulled out by hand.
THE PICTURE.
The open-centred yard may be a
picture; the promiscuously planted
yard may be a nursery or a forest.
A little color thrown In here and
there puts the finish to the picture.
A dash of color gives spirit and char
acter to the brook or pond, to the
Jodge of rocks, to the old stump, or
even to the pile of rubbish. Cailfnr.

We have never yet known a man
to regret his having planted a good

We have heard a good many men
express regret that they had not

It seems a long while to wait for a
tree to grow Into the sizo to make

THE MELON APHIS.
The melon aphis is generally dis
tributed throughout the United
States, but Is especially injurious in
tho Southwest, according to a bulle
tin issued by the Department of Ag
riculture. It attacks a great variety
Df economic plants belonging to dif
ferent families. Tho natural enemies
of the pest are ordinarily not sufll

destroyed by fumigation with carbon

HILLSIDE ORCHARDING.
It is an undisputed fact that apple
orcharding is successful on the up
lands and hillsides, and furthermore
that trees in such locations come into
bearing earlier than If planted on
river-bottom lands or those having
heavy clay subsoils. Even on hill
sides so steep that cultivation is diffi
cult or impossible the apple will
thrive. The question of spraying
such orchards is not yet solved, but
it can be done simply by arranging a
system of pipes or hose. Pennsylva
nia, New York and New England
have thousands of hillsides adapted
to apple and other fruit culture.
These lands can be acquired at low
cost, and many orchards are known
to do as well as one Just reported by
the Commissioner of Agriculture of
Maine. A wooded hillside was ac
quired twelve years ago for $650. He
cleared the wood off, reducing cost
to $110. He set seedling apple trees
among the stumps and grafted them
over. There were so many stumps
and the land was so steep that culti
vation was impossible, so he pastured
sheep and hogs among the trees.
There were 1017 trees. The seventh
year the trees began to bear, and the
ninth year bore sixty-five barrels, the
tenth year thirty-three barrels, and
the eleventh year 500 barrels, which
he sold for $375, and then he sold
the orchard for $2S50, Country

A A
New York City. The over blouse
Is unquestionably a firmly established
favorite. It is to be met In every ma
terial, from costly silk to simple mus
lins, and seems to be equally attract
ive in all. Here is one of quite novel
sort that Is cut out to form a succes
sion of the V-shaped openings that
are singularly becoming to most
women, and that Includes straight
mandarin sleeves of narrow width.
In the illustration it is made of
crepe de chine with trimming of lace
banding dyed to matching color, and
is worn over a guimpe of white lace,
but there are innumerable matsrlals
that are appropriate, and also innum
eraole trimmings, while the guimpe
beneath, being entirely separate, can
be of lace or lingerie material, chif
fon or anything suitablo and becom
ing. Silk and pongees are always
charming so made, and the light
weight wools, such as vollo and mar
quisette, are having great vogue and
are most attractive, while linen and
cotton materials make charming
waists of the simpler sort. In fact,
this model is one that can be made
suited to morning or to afternoon
wear as one material or another is
chosen.
The over blouse Is made with front
and backs and is closed invisibly at
the back. The straight sleeves are
separate, and are Joined to the big
armholes, the seams being concealed
by the trimming.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is two yards
twenty-one, one and three-eighth
yards thirty-two or one and an eighth
yards forty-four inches wide with six
and a quarter yards of banding.
Kan's Tucks.
Nun's tucks are used again to give
simple finish to the skirt.
Fashion's Straws.
In regard to straws, leghorn, not
only in its natural color but dyed in
such shades as sage green, old rose,
bine and apricot, will be much used.
A mossy straw known as cavelirl will
be made up in many toques, mush
rooms and tnrbans. Smooth, fine
chip hats will be fashionable, and
also those of Milan straw. Neapoli
tan will be used all through the sea
son, cleverly combined with a firm
straw.
Over Blouse or Jumper.
The over blouse with the kimono
sleeves is an unquestioned favorite,
as is everything bearing the Japan
ese stamp. This one is distinctly
novel, at the same time that it is em
inently simple and can be trimmed in
almost limitless ways. In the illus
tration it is made of champagne col
ored marquisette and Is trimmed with
velvet ribbon, but in place of the lat
tice work of the velvet any banding
or applique can be employed so that
there is limitless opportunity for the
exercise of individual taste. The
waist is one of those very generally
useful ones that is adapted alike to
silk, wool and cotton and which can
be made suited to afternoon or morn
ing wear, as It is finished in one way
or another and worn over one guimpe
or another. Made from some pretty
batiste or similar material with bands
of embroidery, it would be an exceed
ingly simple gnrment, suited to morn
ing wear, while as Illustrated it is
really quite elaborate in effect.
The waist is made with fronts and
backs that are tucked at the shocl
ders and gathered at the waist line.
The sleeves consist of straight bands
of the trimming that are Joined to
the arms-eyes. There can be a cas
ing applied over the waist line and
tapes inserted to regulate the size or
the waist can be arranged oyer a belt
and closed invisibly at the back.
The quantity of material required
for the medium Bize is two and three-
;
eighth yards twenty-one, two yards
twenty-seven or one and a quarter
yards forty-four inches wide wltb
thirteen yards of velvet ribbon to
trim as illustrated or four yards of
banding if such Is used.
Cretonne ribbons with the usual
huge pink and blue flowers and buff
ground blend well with the fashion
able ecru straws.
The Popular Colors.
Green is being cautiously restored
to favor, but it will be at first what
the merchants will describe as bronze
green, a color that may only be
donned with discrimination by the
average woman, even when carefully
designed fir her. These still difficult
colors will retain the guimpe or yoke
waist in popularity, since something
Is necessary to keep them from a too
direct contact with the face.
