Orange !Blossoms Out of Favor.
IOrange blossoms would appear to
bo declining in favor with English
brides. Formerly the floiw'er was
deemed an essential• part of the
bridal toilet, and none but widows

It. Even when a bride was married in
her travelling costume she pinned a
sprig of orange blo•ssont on the bo-
dice of her gonvn. Judging by the
Tashio'nable weddings of the past
Sow month , how( rer, a new order of
things has been introduced. One dis-
tinguished bride went to the altar
with a wreath of myrtle; another
with white heather and myrtle, an-
other with white clematis, and yet
another with lily of the valley. The
reason given for putting aside orange
blossoms is that as natural flowers
were usually worn, the heavy per-
fume caused fain:noes to nearly ladies.
,A;s the, artificial fiowers so nearly
resemble the genuine article this
can c,c.zrcely be said •to .account for
tho "slump" in the nuptial flower.
Isoivo of change and rt commendable

'Useful Hints.
Wash hairbrushes in strong, tepid
soda water, then rinse well in clear
001(1 Water and place in the air out ul
sunlight to dry.
Add a speck of soda when cooking;
beans or any vegetable which seems
tough, and the cooking process Is
quickened.
!tub. a bib of soda over meat or
poultry that seems overripe and
wash in cold water,
Use a speck o? soda with the stewed
tomato wlien making a mock bisque
soup.
For cleaning paint before repaint-
ing, use two ounces of. soda in one
quart of cold water. Afterward rinse
off with clear, cold water.
In using soda with Bream of tartar,
aliosv one level teaspoonful of soda
to two rounding teaspoonfuls of
cream of tartar for eaah quart of
flour.
To counteract the acidity of mo-
lasses, allow one teaspoonful of soda
to ofd} cupful of molasses.
Soda ylhould be pulverized and care-
fully measured whenever it is used in
cooking, as It is a powerful alkali
which must bo used with discretion
and accuracy.
Add a little soda when stewing a
foul to make the flesh more tender.
If canned tomato ferments, a little
soda will restore it,—Good House-

There ra 1 s probably no more deadly

orchards of California, innumerable
efforts have been made to rid the
trees of their dostroyors, but the sue-

Clark, a frult-grower of Lompoc, Cal.,
has invented a proteins which seems

Tile substances which are used in
the process by which the trees are
freed of scale comprise essentially
any mineral oil, caustic alkali and
water. The mineral oil is sprayed
upon the trete by means of a pump.
The oil -spraying is then followed by
the oaustie alkali solution, applied in
the same manner. The oil is intended
to kill -and destroy the reale and in-

nerves the purpose of neutralizing the
oil after the desired end has been at-
