She knows that it Is not the sort ot thing that she can be expected to do alone; It Is one ot those pieces ot hard labor which Immemorial custom decrees that the nearest male thing has to do for her. Woman. TO EE BOROUGH COUNCILLOR. The Kilburn ward ot Hempstead has elected a woman to serve as Bor ough Councillor of London. This wo man Is Miss M. E. Dalkwill, a social worker, who is described as being so popular with the people in her ward that no one could be found to oppose her candidacy. It is said that she had the support of men and wo men of all sorts and conditions. New York Sun. NEEDED AS-JUDGES. Miss Martha Van Rensselaer, su pervisor of the reading course' for farmers' wives conducted by the Ag ricultural College of Cornell Univer sity, believes that there should be a woman Judge in juvenile courts where girls are tried. She bases her opinion on personal observation of various Juvenile courts, notably those In New York City. She believes that there are many questions which girls would answer truthfully If there was a woman on the bench, but which they now invariably He about when questioned by a man. This is on of the very few instances in which Miss Van Rensselaer believes segre gation of the two sexes would be beneficial. New Yerk Sun. A GOOD-WISH ROSE. "A clever Idea was carried out at a recent 'shower' for a bride-to-be," says Woman's Home Companion. "In the invitation each guest was request ed to send in, prior to the party, a wish for the bride.

'As is usual in most cases, some ot the guests forgot to send in a wish, but brought one with them, and others wrote them after they arrived. For this purpose a large paper rosebud had been made, Into which the wishes were slipped, and the bud twined up again. The guest of honor was charmed with the rose and rosebud, and said that she should always keep It as a pleasant reminder ot her friends, whom she was soon to leave lor a new home in a distant city." HOME-MADE PARASOL CASE. For a pretty and useful umbrella or parasol case, cut a piece' of card board one yard long and seven inches wide. Cover one-third of it on one side with a pretty patterned chintz or cretonne, and the rest with plain sateen of a harmonizing color. For a pocket, cut a piece of the chintz about thirty-two Inches long and eighteen inches wide; turn down a hem two and one-halt inches wide at one end, and put in a piece of '-elastic nine Inches long Just below the hem. Gather the lower end of the chintz, and sew it and the sides neatly to the cardboard. Trim the top of the back, which stands above the pocket, with a ruche of ribbon or lace. Finish the bottom of the case with a twist ot ribbon and a bow at one side, put a bow of ribbon at each corner of the top, and add a loop with a bow, by which to hang up the case. Put an other twist of ribbon finished with a bow across the pocket Just below the frill where the elastic is run. Chiffon and lace trimmed parasols, which should be carefully kept from the dust, are safely and daintily "housed" in one of these useful cases. Mary Foster Snider, In Woman's Home Companion. TRAINED LIBRARIANS. Of all the fields in which to sow her energies the well-educated but otherwise untrained girl who sudden ly faces the problem of self-support pwill find the modern library one of the most promising, says Anna S. Rich ardson. So far the profession is not overcrowded and the good worker Is In demand. Some librarians hold that In the library there is never any great goal in sight for the very able and ambitious. It does not give an opportunity for the expression of Individuality, like the arts, the scien ces and the law. But taking the pro fession as a whole It la the ideal one for the girl who is content with rou tine work, a comfortable salary and the ability to serve her fellow men In a capacity which can never toe termed mean, narrow or menial. The modern librarian must be trained, and In New York the public library maintains a training scnool in con nection with the Muhlenberg Branch in West Twenty-third street, and each apprentice has the same hours and routine as the paid assistant, and at the end ot the library year takes her first examination, when she may be appointed an assistant at $40 a month. Two years later she takes a second examination which entitles her to $50 a month, and a year later she takes her third and last exami nation, which will entitle her to the post of head librarian at a salary ranging from $80 to $90, aocordlng the library In which Bhe is placed. Women who desire to enter this train ing school- must be between eighteen and thirty-live years of age; they must have a four-year high school education or Ub equivalent, and a reading knowledge of both French and German, while greatly to their advantage will be a speaking knowl edge of German. MOUNTAINS IN YOUR BOOM. If you live in the city, if you work In an office and sigh for the moun tains which you have no opportunity to see, hang pictures of them all around you. If you care more for the sea, and It is impossible for you to get to It, put sea pictures- wherever your eyes reBt when you look up from your work during the day. These rest the eyes and the brain, and please the imagination more thai you have any idea of if you haven't tried It. The idea has been recommended by' specialists who ask a good deal of money for the advice. You can try It at little expense. All you need Is to buy cheap pic tures of mountain and sea, or cut them out of advertisements. Rail road books are full of them. The shops offer them, crudely done, at small prices. It Is not necessary to frame them. Their effect on a tired brain is quite as good as though the frame wera added. Simply pin them to the wall wherever your eyes rest the oftenest. The quiet, the faint coloring, aided to your imagination, will give you a happy moment. If you are a seam stress put the pictures over your ma chine and when you have a spare ten minutes, gaze upon them. If you are a bookkeeper, working hours on grim figures, experiment with a picture over your desk. If you are shut in a small house for the summer, with nothing to look on but the dreary dust ot the streets, put these pictures in your kitchen or your sewing room, or wherever you are when the day seems most unbearable. Don't wish you were there. Just believe you are there. Philadelphia Ledger. Dotted net Is much used for the big, draped crowns. A hat entirely of white' chip la trimmed in soft pink ribbon and lace; Tulle Is, though perishable, one of the most successful trimmings for the hat. The top of the large high crown may be rough, light, pure white straw. Roses are first favorites in milli nery, and indeed throughout the pro vince. One bonnet of dotted net had a large crown and rather narrow brim frills. Rose color in all its delicious shades is the season's color par ex cellence. An old time shape that consorts charmingly with a pretty face and a muslin frock is ot flexible straw. The linen cretonne so much used for trimming suits and coats makes up fashlonablly with chiffon cloth. Frills of lace set under the brim and falling on the hair are a recent fancy more odd than pretty as a rule. Pleated skirts for tennis or yacht ing mount high above the waist in curving lines and meet a surah sash. A wide scarf and knot of black taffeta often trims a hat, and one chic model has a wreath of cornflow ers and wheat Instead of the scarf. The feathery seed balls of dande lions have been wonderfully repro duced by the makers of artificial flow ers, and beautiful all white hats are effectively trimmed la. these and in clouds pf white tulle. Even the frock of linen Is made with its waistline raised high as silk frocks are made, and if it Is cut .with open neck and short sleeves a guimpe of net cut with the new close long leave la worn with 1L New York City. Fancy waists are In demand and each new design Is therefore certain to find its place. This one is singularly attractive and graceful while it can be made from almost any seasonable material. There are draperies which give grace-1 ful and becoming lines and which appropriately can be made of net, lace or anything of a similar sort, and the rather deep chemisette is becom ing and in the height ot style. Also the sleeves are novel. As illustrated crepe de Chine is made with a chemi sette of tucked and drapery of plain net with trimming of lace and band ing of heavy embroidered filet, while a crush girdle of messaline satin finishes the lower edge. The waist is made with the fitted lining and itself consists of the front, the backs and the chemisette.. It is laid in pleats that provide becoming fulness and the drapery is arranged over the fronts, the upper edges being included in the shoulder seams while the Inner edges are concealed under the tucks. The waist proper extends only slightly below the upper edge of the girdle and this latter is arranged over the lining, so that the entire garment is put on at one time. The sleeves are made over fitted linings which are faced to form the cuffs' or un?r sleeves. The quantity of material required for the medium size Is three yards twenty-one, two and one-half yards twenty-seven or one and three-quarter yards forty-four inches wide, five eighths yard ot tucked net for the chemisette, one and one-quarter yards of banding two and one-quarter Inches wide, three-eighth yard of Hecnrl Pins For Largo Hats. New hatpins are shown that fasten to the bandeau with small spikes, and from there they run with double prongs through the hair. These nov elties seem to bold the hat firmly in place, more firmly than any of their ornate cousins, and they cannot pos sibly do any injury to the hat. Tussorc,For Costumes. White tussore, which has a certain stiffness and strength, U used princi pally for costumes. net for the drapery and three and one-half yards of lace four Inches wide for edging the drapery, trim ming the chemisette and making the cuffs, five-eighth yard of silk for the girdle. .. Lesson the Tlfps. The hips must be lessened, and some one has discovered that to ex pand the waist Jt trifle is a quick and easy method of making the great difference between hips and waist disappear. Gill's Over Dress. Every variation of the guimpe dress is being worn by school girls and some ' very pretty and novel effects are shown. Here is one that is trimmed to give the prlncesse lines and which is charmingly attractive while it is absolutely simple and youthful. As Illustrated It Is made of buff linen with trimming of brown but it is appropriate for linen in all the prevailing colors. The dress is made with the blouse and skirt. The blouse consists ot the fronts and backs and the narrow Mandarin sleeves. It Is tucked be comingly and Is gathered at the low er edge and Joined to a belt. The Bklrt is straight and laid In back ward turning pleats, the closing being made invisibly at the back. The quantity of material required for the medium size (twelve years) la five and three-quarter yards twenty-four, four and one-quarter yards thirty-two or three and one half yards forty-four Inches wide with one yard thirty-two inches wide for trimming. The Colors Worn. It would be very pleasant to an nounce that sapphire blue bad gone out of fashion for net veils. But it would not be true. It Is still worn over too many faces whose pallor and lines it heightens. Youth can dare much, can experiment far, but why, why should the woman past the thirty-year milestone wear a blue or a green net vcilT Small and wasp-like waists have goo out of fashion. THE BUCKWHEAT CROP. Buckwheat is an excellent crop to plow under for green manure, also to clean land ot weeds. When sown for either of these uses, two and one halt bushels should be sown to the acre, well harrowed In and the ground then rolled. Buckwheat for grain is always grown as a second crop, usually on clover sod or on early pea or cabbage ground. American Cultivator. EXPERT TESTS IN ASPARAGUS. Experiments In breeding a variety of asparagus proof against the rust disease are being carried on in Con cord, Mass., 1)y the United States De partment of Agriculture and the Mas sachusetts Experiment Station. The well known aspargus specialist, C. W. Prescott, Is in charge. Asparagus growers are asked to co-operate by sending Mr. Prescott a statement ot their acreage of asparagus, varieties and area of each, when each kind was planted, when rust first appeared, what variety proved most rust re sistant, the amount of annual damage by rust, and suggestions as to meth ods of combating this disease.

The importance of -obtaining a suc cession of bloom In a shrubbery plant ing scheme has been pointed out. In selecting the varieties to produce this there Is room for a large variance of choice. Tastes will vary, the climate, soil and the care given the -plants should be considered, The following list of twelve shrubs will be found to give good results with little care: (1) Forsythia, or golden bell; (2) Cydonia Japanlca, or Japan quince; (3) Viburnum opulis sterelis, or snowball; (4) Spiraea Van Houtel, or bridal wreath; (5) Lonlcera Tatarlca, the upright honeysuckle; (6)Welgelia rose; (7) Philadelphia, or mock orange, also known incorrectly as syringa; (8) lilac (syringa); (9) Spiraea callosa, or pink spiraea; (10) Spiraea Antony Waterer, or d,warf spiraea; (11) Hibiscus syrlacus, or althea; (12) Hydrangea panlculata grandlflora. Other shrubs which are worthy of planting In the springtime or fall are: Hercu'is club, botanlcally known as the ariula splnosa; the purple and green-leaved barberries; several vari eties of the dogwood, and the flower ing locust. Indianapolis News. THE STRAWBERRY BED. For a hundred times probably In our life we have written on this sub ject and urged the necessity of care ful tillage and culture in the straw berry bed from the time It is set out until the runners are well set and matted in July, and yet a cor respondent writes as follows: "We purchased a few hundred plants last spring and planted them out. They grew, but the weeds have grown so in the patch and the runners have com menced, running so we cannot plow the weeds out without injuring the plants. What would you suggest to do tor a bed in this condition?' If It was ours we would plow It un dr and try and learn a lesson from the past. There is no excuse tor a man to plant out a rtrawberry bed if ha don't intend to take care of it. It Just shows the folly of a man spend in his money for something that he don't Intend to give proper care. As the strawberry is so easy of culture and requires so little care, yet it must be at the time that the plants are es tablished and new plants setting on. Twentieth Century Farmer. ADVISABILITY OF KEEPING BEES It Is safe to say that every farmer would support, at least, a few hives of bees. Nearly all parts of our coun try produce honey in quantities suf ficient to pay for the gathering. The amount of honey that goes to waste every year for want of bees to gather It is very large; In fact, too large to estimate. Every farm has on it fruit trees, berry patches, clover or buck wheat fields, all of which, in the ab sence of bees, is evaporated by the sun and practically wasted. The for ests also contain many linden and white wood trees which are good l.oney yieldara. Then there are the butumn wild flowers, such as bonc3et, goldenrod, heartsease and wild asters, which bloom for a succession of two months, from which the bees do not only store a quantity of surplus honey, but also fill the brood nest of tho hives for winter stores. In my locality beekeepers get the most and finest honey from autumn wild flow ers which grow at random every where. Every one growing fruit or any plant that Is intended to yield sesd should be Interested in beekeeping, and cither try to induce some person to keep bees near him, or keep n few colonies hlmjo' rlcaa Caiuva mmtm RAYMOND E.

DUN'S WEEKLY SUMMARY Growth of Confidence Evidenced by Increased Preparation of -Fall Business. ! New York. R. O. Dun & Co.'a "Weekly Review of Trade" says: "Encouraging reports of commer cial conditions outnumbering adverse statements, and In almost every In stance earlier gains are fully main tained, while the growth of confidence is evidenced by increased preparations for fall trade and a revival of struc ural work. "Retail trade Is reasonably quiet, but wholesale and Jobbing markets are responding to the usual attend ance of outside buyers, while the big cotton goods auction sole had no de moralizing effect on prices. Scarcity of hides holds prices at a very high position, and leather Is also relative ly much stronger than other materials of manufacture, which retards' busi ness in footwear. Mercantile collec tions are Irregular, but money la abundant and cheap, and prices of se curities establish new high records for the year almost dally. "More Interest Is shown In the iron and steel markets than at any earlier date this year, although the railways are not buying freely. Prices are unchanged, but some furnace and foundry Interests will take no more orders without an advance. . Domes tic roads have begun to buy rails, but most new contracts in this department are for export. "Results of the first big auction sale of dress goods were most satisfactory, relatively high prices being realized. As to the woolens, most interest is1 shown In the higher grades of men's wear. Confidence Is shown by some mills that are purchasing raw wool freely, helping to prevent accumula tion of stocks in Eastern markets, as the new clip comes forward. . - "Footwear manufacturers in New England report that Jobbers continue to purchase conservatively, placing only enough contracts to cover imme diate needs."
