None could do it more tactfully and gently than 'the Prince of Wales (King Edward VII.)—none more thoroughly. At a bazaar which the Princle at- tended, an actress, popular, but somewhat vulgar, Was pnesiding over a tea booth, when the Pirince stopped and asked for a cup or tea. She bleed a cup and laid her lips against the rim. "Now it is worth five guineas," she said. Thee Prince gravely paid the price and drank the tie.a.

Not long ago Emile Zola was in- vited to lecture before one of the most aristocratic women's clubs in Paris, and to their amazement he began by telling them that with all their pretensions they knew nothing of literature or politics. Continuing, he said: You pretend to be Interested in these questions, but really you are not. Your days are freely devoted to foolish amusement and useless ac- j Vona Interminable toiletenaking, se- ' ances with dressmakers, luncheons, dinners, pink teas, so-callea literary lectures, receptions, balls and the- atres. You send your time in gossip I which is stupid when it is not wick- ed. You grovel with astonishing alac- rity to gain admittance into social circles above your own and cannot conceal your asinine contempt for people supposedly below yourselves. This is the sort of life a society woman leads. What right have you - to meddle tie philosophy, literature and politics? Tiro Nashville (Tenn.) American, in reproducing th.e above, and consid- erably more, says: It would seem I that the fashionable women of Par- r Is are much the same as the fash- ionable women of our cities in the t United States.

May Help Some Hamilton Artists who come over with the hope of find- ing paineable quarters, with com- fortable inns at reasonable prices, ands perhaps lose time and money, in their quest. I have met a good many artists here—French and Am- erican, and delight in listening to their painters' jargon, though I con- fess the studio 'argot' Is very often quite unintelligible, and 'the tones in which it is expressed by no means musically modulated; nuse quo voulesavous? If you invade their haunts you must take them as you find them, and, as they confess themselves, they are the worst people living for talking "shop." Alexander Harrison, the Paris -American painter, was hem for two months, pulsating all the time, and Mr .Albert Dakin- Gihon, also a Philadelphian, is still here and doing most excellent work, seine of which is ,going to an ex- hibition in Paris of pictures by Amer- ican artists—all decorated men who have made their mark and are on the highway of success. It opens on Oct. 20th, and will be very interest- ing—well worth ae visit from any Hamlitonlans who find themselves in Paris this fall. An amusing and interesting feature of our sojourn in the forest is the weekly market in the villages. At Fontainebleau it is Quite a High Toned Affair. You pick up' quaint pottery, and bijouterle, and really good lace and silks. Tho shops send all their rem- nante here to be sold off, and you get marrelleus bargains in the way of really good silks in short lengths for ehirt waists and so forth. Each Tillage market lute its own individual merchandise, and characteristic sales people. You buy delicious sweets, fruity a.nr1 cake, the latter cooked be - ore you and offered on the cleanest of plates; or white paper, so that everybody eats a little "lunch" In the ntervale of shopping. I may just emark, en passant, that in these parts no British subjects need have he slightest doubt of their reception by the inhabitants of the Forest; not one black or morose expression have I seen, much less heard one un- civil word. Even the gpysy tramps and bargemen give one a pleasant "Bon Jour,' while the village folk are real dears, all ready and eager to chat and tell their family "histora tees,' Interested in our snap -shoot - ng and more than willing to pose, specially if a copy is likely to come heir way, and If you admire the eyes of the olive branches, or give the baby a "sou" in its fat fist, they are your close friends for life ,The children certainly have very pretty coloring, fair hair and bright, sun - kissed. faces.

(From the Lo,gberg, Winnipeg, Man.) e Tho readers of Logberg have long been familiar with the virtues of ,e Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills throuet the r well authenticated cures published In these columns each week. Many of our readers are also able to vouch ror cures which have come under their own observation. This week "Logberg" has received a letter from one of its readers, Mr. B. Wal- terson, a prosperous farmer living at Bra in which lie gives his own experience in the hope that It may benefit some other sufferer. Mr. Walterson says: "Some years ago X was suffering so greatly irons rheumatism in my limbs that I was for a long time unable to do any work. I tried in many ways to ob- tain a cure, both by patent medi- cines and medicine prescribed by (fac- tors, but without obtaining any benefit. I saw Dr. Williams' Pink Pills advertised in the Logberg as being a cure for this trouble, and determined to give it a trial. I bought a dozen 'boxes and before half of them sveret u lea I. felt at great change for the better. This improve- meneetontinued from day to day, and before I bad meta all the pine I was completely enred.. Since that time I have never had an attack of this' trouble.

CHOOSES A PRESENT i f+++++++++++++++++++++++++ It is the difference between the man's way and the woman's way. The man had to buy a wedding pie - sent the other day. He was not in the neighborhood of shops where such things could be bought, but he did not worry about that. Be inclosed a suns of money In a letter sent it to a friend in New York, with the following directions: "Please get me a wedding present with the Inclosed money. Get it at Mr. Silversmith's or Mr. Artstorea, and send it with my card, which I inclose, to Miss Blank," and there followed the name and address. The friend received the request in the spirit in which it was gven. He turned over the commission to the first woman he met, with the indefinite dissections he had receiv- ed, The woman used her own judg- ment, bought what she pleased, and had it sent off as per orders. Not one of ,the men saw the wedding present, which had to be sent in something of a, hurry to arrive on the wedding day. A woman would have pat enough nervous force into getting a wed- ding present to have lasted leer a month- under ordinary circumstan- ces. It would be ninety-nine chances one of a hundred that in a similar ease she would have waited until she Was in the neighborhood of the shops She thought suitable for buying the 'present herself, if she'had to wait .until the wedding wee; past and send It as an anniversary girt. She would have been uncertain about the amount to spend, and probably would have spent in the end twice ha much au she felt Rho could' afford. If she had felt really obliged to commis- sion a friend or write directly to the shop, she would have covered eh half a dozen eets of letter piper in giving directions, and then it would have broken .her heart if else had not seen the preeent before it was sent There is every reason to be- lieve that the present sent by the I man would be quite as satisfactory to.him and to tho bride as? anything the woman could buy, but they could not ellange methods without chang- ing nature. When women break down In business or in college, it is not because they are more delicate in proportion or work harder along legitimate lines than men, but be- calm° they put a nervous strain on themcelves in a thousand unneces- eary ways, How to pop the Question.

They tried at first making them wholly out of gathered ribbons, bat that only produced roses in bud form. Thee- the ribbon flower bloomed anetteanto great, flaring, bright eyed beauties, that make the windows of ahops mightily attractive. Ribbons used to be thought cap- able of being worn in just one way— as ribbons. Now they have grown into a dozen uses entirely distinct and apart from that. , First they were employed as "couch" work on fancy things that women made'and after a while they even left the field of hash and the and became "draw strings" in the under - suite. Now, in the general outburst in the use of ribbons, they are no longer knotted or bowed or wired into loops for hat trimmings, but are shirred over wire loops and form butterflies, from which depend myriads of tiny The roses, buds and leaves are so cunningly devised that as they rise from blue or pink stems they have a quasi -natural appearance, and often adorn a corsage in lieu of real flow- eret The pink and red and yellow and white "single roses" for the hair are made in satin ribbons, and nestle back of the ear like those in old-fashioned miniatures, only these are fadeless.

It is quite true that the late blight is not an annual visitor, nevertheless no one can prophesy when it will put in an unwelcome appearance. After it makes Its presence visible by the leaves turning brown and drying up c it Is too tate to save the crop, for I fungicides are only preventives?, and not remedies. It does little if any ; good to apply them after the disease appears, andethe spraying must be I done before it can be known whether I or not an outbreak will occur. Thus , it is that it the blight does not ap- pear the money spent in spraying ap- pears to have been thrown away. Experiments not only in Canada but in the. United States have demon- strated that Spraying is Profitable whether the late blight prevail or not. Tete early blight is almost cer- tain to appear, unless prevented, and its damage, not so noticeable in any one season, ass that of the late blight, yet fully as great in the aggregate, may be almost eeholly avoided by spraying, This disease causes the brown dead spots on the leaves, which", are awaked by concentric rings, and which sometimes affect so meth of the leaf surface that the nutrition of the plaht Is seriously checked. For this disease, as for the late blight, Bordeaux mixture Is an al- most perfect preventive. Its pro- tective power would probably be complete could each leaf be entire- ly coated with a thin layer of the deposited lime and copper sulphate, because the spores of the disease could -Ilion not find any vulner- able point. The nearer this com- plete coating is obtained the more perfect will be tile protection, and It can only be secured by spraying carefully With a fine nozzle. The Mixture Used. While Bordeaux mixture is not peisonous to insects it is very dis- tasteful to them, and Paris Green combined with it can be more evenly distributed by the sprayer than in any other way. The lime in the Bordeaux mixture will cause the p aeon 'to adhere 'to the leaves so that lie protective influence Is thus carenestliened and the period of its efliersey prolonged. Flea beetles as well AS the ordinary potato beetles can thee scarcely attack the leaves without being 'poisoned; and sup- pled with the Bordeaux mixture Peale Green will not burn the foliage a9 it ironic -times does when applied as a dry pawder, or when eimply mixed with water. Many authori- ties, too, believe that the Bordeaux mixture, Iteelf exerts a favorable In - Demme epee potato foliage not due ifs Its effect iipm diesetsseR Or insects. These reasons combine In favor of using It p.)tatoes ; and in the ex- periments made, the application of Bordeaux, mixture and Paris Green were profitable, even in a season when fungous diseases were scarcely; noticeable. : How to Compound it. The Bordeaux mixture for use in potatoes should be made as follows: Take . six pounds of copper sulphate (blue vitriol) and tie it up In a piece of thin cloth—an ordinary salt bag, will answer well—then suspend it from a stick laid ?arose the top of a coal oil or other barrel half filled with clean water, so that the bag may be just beneath the surface of the 'water, when the copper sulphate will dissolve in an hour or two. In another vessel slake four pounds of fresh limo in sufficient water to make a thin whitewash. Strain, this through a fine sieve or sack to re- move all lumps. When the copper sulphate has all dissolved, pour the limo 'wash into a barrel slowly, stir- ring the mixture all the time. Now fill up the barrel to, the top 'with water, and the mixture is ready for use. To apply this mixture to the foli- age ,the best and cheapest way is to use a proper spraying pump and nozzle; but if these be not on hand good results which will well repay the trouble may be obtained by ap- plying the mixture with watering cans supplied with fine noses. Use Paris Green With it. A great advantage bf this mixture is that Paris Green, the only prac- tical remedy for the Colorado po- tato beetle, can be applied at the same time. To do this Dr. James Fletcher, the Dominion Entomolo- gist, aelvites mixing from a quarter to half a pound of Paris green with which renders the poison of exact- ly the same strength as when used with plain waters. These Mixtures/ must be kept con- stantly stirred while being used, as both the Unto in the Bordeaux mix- ture and the Perla green quickly sink to the bottom of any mixture if left undisturbed. . The Bordeaux mixture is a pre- ventive reniedy, and the time to ap- ply it its any locality is just before the blights treated of usually appear there, the object being to keep time plants during the whole of the time they are liable to injury, covered with the fungicidal preparation. The early 'blight in Ontario and Quebec generally appears at the end of Jam, or the beginning of July, The late blight or potato rot la most parts of Canada Heiden% shows itself until 'August, 'Spraying should, thares fore, be begun early in .Tuly, and be repeated every two weeks at least wrail the eneoral week in September.
