Marketing Early Pota'o B.
To those who arc unfamiliar with po
tato growing, the high prices which
early potatoes command might seem to
make it an object to dig a large part of
the crop and market it while the price
is up. But there are several drawbacks
in marketing potatoes early. The
weather is hot, and while the skins of
potatoes are tender, they will rub off
their jackets if handled freely, and the
potatoes are then almost sure to rot.
Ilence they are never sent far or In
large quantities. In digging potatoes
early there Is great waste, as only a
few of the largest are of marketable
size, and those that will sell would
grow still larger If left a few day 9
longer in the hill."

that if Spanish marksmanship is such
that you are missed In the war as often
as I will miss you at home there won't
be any risks for you whatever!"

A Frock For Warm "Weatlier.
Some charming warm-weather
frocks are made of ecru batiste; the
bodice of one is of similar tone of
guipure, rounded off on either side of
a soft mousseline pleated front, in
bolero fashion, and descending a long
way below the colored at the back.
The guipure is cut away at the sides,
producing a pleated fan-tail effect,
which ends just above the plain linen
skirt beneath.
Colored Lawn Petticoats.
There is quite a demand for colored
lawn petticoats. The dainty pinks,
blues, yellows and lavenders, heavily
trimmed in flounces and lace, look
well under grass linen or crash skirt,
when juat a faint gleam of the color
is caught through the outer skirt.
The cololsd skirt must be in harmony
with the shirt waist, of course. There
are dressing sacques that come to
match these skirts, and they both
look well when worn to lounge about
the dressing room.
Amcricau Girls' Home in Paris.
A delightful way of bringing the
American art students together in
Paris was the establishment of the
American Girls' Home by a number
of wealthy New Yorkers. The home
is situated in a quarter accessible to
the studios, aud contains about
seventy-five large, comfortably fur
nished rooms, which are rented ex
clusively to American students. There
are three large reception-rooms and a
library on the first floor, and many
girls wko live in apartments not con
venient for receiving guests entertain
all their visitors in the parlors of the
Home. Every day at five o'clock tea
and crackers are served, and almost
all the American students in Paris
are to be found there at that hour.
Conversation is always animated on
art, music, or the latest play, aud the
tea and crackers are a pleasing adjunct
to the small talk floating through the
rooms. No fee is charged, even to
those not living in the Home, for the
use of the reception-rooms at all
hours, or for the five o'clock tea.—
New York Tribuue.

First American "Woman Suffragist.
When, on the 21th of June, the As
sembly of 1617-8 was in session,
doubtless occupied with discussing the
affairs of the province, their rights as
freemen, etc., they were startled by
the appearanco of Mistress Margaret
Brent upon the scene, who demanded
both voice aud vote for herself in the
Assembly by virtue of her position as
Governor Calvert's attorney. Alas for
Mistress Bient and her appreciation
of the rights of her sex! The Gov
ernor promptly and uugollantly re
fused her. The injured lady, as her
only means of retaliation, protested
against all the acts of the session as
invalid, unless her vote was received
as well as the votes of the male mem
bers.
By this action Margaret Brent un
doubtedly placed berself on record as
the first woman in America to make a
stand for the rights of her sex.
It is surprising to find how little this
fact is known. In so comprehensive
and authoritative a work as tho his
tory of woman's suffrage edited by
Susan B. Anthony no mention is made
of this extraordinary woman. In fact,
it is there stated that a Revolutionary
dame, Mrs. Abigail Smith Adams,
wife of John Auams, of Massachu
setts, was the first champion of wom
an's rights in America. In March,
177G, Mistress Adams wrote to her
husband, then at thsContinentalCon
gress in Philadelphia: "I long to hear
that you have declared for independ
ency, but I desire that you should
remember the ladies. ... If partic
ular care is not paid the ladies. . . we
will not hold ourselves bound to obey
laws in which- we have no voice or
representation."
We are not told how John Adams
replied to this epistle from his fair
spouse, but we do know that in tho
famous Declaration of Independence,
where all men are declared free and
equal, the women received 110 more
consideration than did Margaret Brent
nearly one hundred and fifty years
before.—Harper's Magazine.

Cut I asked a gift ho bestowed not—
A flower that bears no thorn.

And into my heart unquestioned
I take him to rest at last.

A PLOT FOR A NOVEL.
One Offered Ready-Made for the Des
perate Literator.
A novelist In Boston—do not laugh,
there are novelists In Boston, yes, and
actually living here—said to us the
other day, "If I could only find a plot!"
Here is a plot for him free of charge,
and the story is a true oue:
In 1739 a lady—a real lady—came
Into Birmingham, England, with a
handsome equipage, and desired the
landlord of the Inn to get her a hus
band, being determined to marry some
body or other before she left the town.
The man bowed, and supposed her la
dyship to be iu a facetious humor, but
being made sensible how much she was
in earnest, he went out in search of a
man that would marry a flue lady
without asking questions. After many
repulses from poor fellows who were
uot desperate enough for such a ven
ture, he met with au excise man, who
said he "could not be lu a worse condi
tion than he was," and accordingly
went with the Innkeeper and made a
tender of himself, which was all he
had to bestow 011 the lady, who imme
diately went with him to one who gave
them a license and made them man
and wife, 011 which the bride gave her
spouse £2OO, and without more delay
left the town and the bridegroom to
find out who she was or unriddle this
strange adventure. Soon after she was
gone two gentlemen came into the
town in full pursuit of her; they had
traced her so far upon the road, and,
finding the Inn where she had put up,
they examined into all the particulars
of her conduct, and on hearing she was
married gave up their pursuit aud turn
ed back.
Truly a noble dame, one worthy of a
full length portrait in the gallery con
structed by Thomas Hardy.
Why did this noble dame offer her
self to the first comer? And why were
the respectable males of the town so
backward? There was no hint of scan
dal. Who were the pursuers? Did she
wish by one sudden marriage to escape
one deliberately contrived and repug
nant? Was the excise man a potty
fellow in spite of his abject condition?
Did she ever see him again? Did she
(ever regret that she had not braved
the world and lived with him? Per
haps the memory of her apparition
haunted him; perhaps it roused him to
j doughty deeds. It's a pity that Mr.
I Hardy has uot accounted for her action
and her fate with his grim irony.—Bos
ton Journal. ...

Tlie countries where the long linger
nail is most affected are Slam, Assam,
■Cochin China and China. The ap
: .proved length varies from three or four
to twenty-three inches. A Siamese ex
quisite permits the nails 011 his lingers
- .to grow to such an extent that his
■hands.ore practically useless. The ar
■ Jstocrats who affect these nails cau
'not write, dress themselves or even
■feed themselves.
• The Siamese hold the long finger nail
In the same reverence we hold the
•family tree. Many of them never have
their nails cut from the day of their
birth. On the first finger the nail Is of
■ moderate length—three or four inches
—while on the other fingers the nails
grow occasionally to two feet. The
thumb nail, which Is also allowed to
grow long, nfter reaching a certain
length curves around like a corkscrew.
In both China and Slam the owners
of long nails wear metal cases over
them to preserve them, made of gold
or silver, and jeweled. While long
ualls are not regarded as singular In
China, they are rarely met with except
on fanatics and pedantic scholars.
Among the fakirs In Hlndoostan a
peculiar custom Is that of holding the
hand tightly clenched nnd in one posi
tion so long that at last the nails grow
through the palm, emerging at the
back of the hand and growing thence
almost to the wrist. When the wasted
muscles refuse to support the arm any
longer it is bound in position with
cords.
In Nubia the long nail is regarded as
Indicative of good breeding. The aris
tocrats constantly subject their flngor-
Upß to cedar wood fire to insure a good
jrowth.
The inhabitants of the Marquesas
kilands are nuiong the most expert tiit
iooers on earth, and not even the crown
if the head, the fingers nnd the toes
ire exempt front the needle. The
hands ate ornamented with utmost
►are, all the fingers having their own
pattern, so the hand would look as
though incased in a tight-fitting glove
were It not for the finger nails of enor
mous length which complete the hand
adornment of the wealthier natives.
Washing Milk Vessels.
All through the warm weather, par
ticular care is needed to cleanse ves
sels that have contained milk. If any
particle of milk Is left iu the crevices
or corners of vessels, it will sour and
affect any milk that Is afterward add
ed. Many people In cleaning milk front
vessels wash them first with scalding
hot water. This Is a mistake. The hot
water only coagulates the albumen,
causing It to stick more closely to the
sides of the vessel. If It he of tin, the
souring of the milk soon eats through
the coating of tin, and causes rust ou
the irou beneath It. What we call tin
Is merely Iron with a very thin tin coat
ing. No such vessel Is fit for long use,
as the tin will wear through, and all
the more quickly If the coagulated al
bumen, made by hot water aud milk,
