FIB BALLS FROM TlE CLOPDS, these Electric Pbeomena Are Rare, But Brilliant. The storms that have raged over England displayed some extraordi bary freaks of lightning. A Are ball fell into Diddop reser Voir, near Halifax, about 3 o'clock p. M., and was seen by the caretaker's daughter. The ball of fire illumin nated the countryside. There was a loud, hissing sound. A gigantic foun tain was thrown into the air and half the surface of the reservoir was ruf led for fully five minutes. An ap palling thunderclap followed. The smell of sulphur was so strong that the 'caretaker and his family could scarcely breathe. The fire ball which wrecked the vil lage of Stoke Doyle, near Aundle, 1, described as having presented a vivid spectacle. It is not possible to as certain its true character, for there arc Various sorts of electrical phenomena which come under the term "firE ball."

"The average girl art student in Paris lives about as quiet a life as the American college girl," says Maude Andrews in the Woman's Home Com paulon, writing from her own experi ence of "The American Girl Artist in Paris." "The tuition at the schools ranges in price from seven to fourteen dollars a month, but the price of an artist's materials cannot be estimated, for these -are the items that make the study of art appallingly expensive. If an artist needs certain paints, she cannot stop to consider if others wouldn't do as well, or If she couldn't get on with less, as she considers the purchase of remnants at a bargain counter. The paint must be had at any cost, and that is why girl artists often look as hungry and seedy as the Mar chioness when first discovered by Dick Swiveller. It is safe to say that no girl ought to come to Paris to study art unless she has an assured allow ance of fifty dollars a month, and this amount will just about enable her to meet the expenses of daily living, tui tion and materials. A great deal has been said about the folly of American girls coming to Paris on limited means, but the impracticability of suci a ven ture lies not so much in this drawback as in the pose and lack of practical ;ense in many of the art students them selves. The one great pose in art is the scorn of pot-boling. Most young artists, for instance, consider it to be a degradation of their art to turn their talents toward illustration, whereas it is one of the most remuner ative things an artist can do. It may be said very truly that no poor girl should come to Paris to study art un less she is willing to turn her ability in the direction of pot-boiling now and then, in order to supplement her allow ance. There are so many needs for money in Paris. It is a veritable Circe Df cities that changes its lovers not into swine, but into the most enchanting butterflies, if there is only a little ex tra money to be had for dress. A girl who is very poor and cannot make a little pin-money often gets rather hope less and depressed, for there is noth ing so forlorn in Paris as shabby at tire." Medals For Women. Few women have received high awards for exhibits in the fine arts at the Paris Exposition. Out of more than one hundred and twenty gold medals accorded to French and for eign painters in oil and water color only four have gone to women. Miss Cecilia Beaux, of this country, is one of these. Miss Beaux has shown open air studies at the Societe Nationale des Beaux Arts for the last three or four years. The other women who received gold medals are Mine. Virginie De mont-Breton, Mile. Baily and Mile. Breslan. Mmne. Demont-Breton and ' e. Baily are both of France, and -1u of Switzerland. Iarn~.rded to Miss Elizab Nourse, of t LayAlma Tadema, of England, a one woman representative from each -of the countries of Denmark, Holland, ISpain. Russia and Switzerland, and fovr of France, also received silver medals. Only one other English womn an obtained an award for painting. This was Miss Flora Reid, who re ceived a bronze mnedal. Eight bronze medals were awarded to women in the department of sculp ture. In the department of engravmg~ two silver and seven bronze medals were all received by French women with the exception of one, which was given to an Hungarian woman.

There are to be more deeld Schanges in women's shoes this i than for two years Dast. IThe build toe is on the decline and Is being re, placed by the pointed toe. Accom. panying this change will be a radical difference in the entire sole, so that the inward slant of the sole will be replaced by straighter lines. Only here and there are shoemakers found to be frank enough to admit that a change is coming, since naturally they are anxious to dispose of the old stock of goods, but "smart" bootmakers pre dict that by spring the bulldog toe and accompanying features will be things of the past. A new heel, called the "Cuban heel," has appeared. It is high, but lacks the graceful curves of the French Leel. It is likely to be worn to a considerable extent for some years to come. Tan shoes have their best use with short skirts. Worn with long, dark skirts they soon show the effects of the coloring matter in the velveteen with which most skirts are bound. 'Makes a Living Marking L:nen. How many odd little trades ingen lous women find to earn thevir bread! In fact, as has been said before, if there is a thing a woman can do bet ter than her neighbors she needs only to develop it into a sp.-cialty to have a sure livelihood. A Chicago girl, who is soon to ue married in the East, whence her family came, writes that, like all Boston brides of high degree, she is having her linen marked by Mrs. B. This quaint little ohl lady entirely supports herself by writing names in indelible ink on the underwear, sheets, tablecloths, etc., of Boston swelldom. She has become a fad. I1er narrow quarters look like a white goods ware house, and smell like a chemist's from a preparation she puts on the linen to give it a smooth, paper-like sur face. She is to be found any day with her old fingers cramped about the special pen she uses in marking small, neat initials or elaborate mono grams which no one else can equal. Chicago Evening Post. Fashionable Jewelry. More jewelry than ever is being worn. Perhaps the outlines of the modern French bijouterie are rather barbaric in tendency, but how deli cately fine and raisonne is the work manship, which softens the freedom of the original conception and per fects each detail with minutest skill! To realize this one must have close ly examined the jewelry exhibits at the Paris Exposition. The lead of the great French jeweler, Lalique-that most modest artist, who has revolu tionized all modes in jewelry for the moment - has -been freely followed, perhaps too freely, for there has sprung up a series of imitators, who are far from achieving the result that their originator has realized. But the result is that gold and silver in many shades and enamel of most entrancing hues have taken the place to a great extent of the precious stone, especial ly in ornaments for day wt~r. Unchanging Fashions Ia Calna. Chinese fashions seldom change, and a woman of the Celestial Empire dresses to-day as her great-grandmoth er dressed at her age. If she is rich she is robed entirely in silk. Her first garment is a sort of apron or plain piece of silk tied around the waist and overlapping behind. Then come the unde - t, trousers and face e o wet rice fib gives her a deathlike appear- ce. While it is still soft she remove's sie paste from her eyes and lips with a wet sponge, and, moistening her finger, draws it three times around h~r throat, leaing three red marks. She always carries about with her a stiff, flat fan and a powder box with a litle mir ror in the lid, by which she can see to touch periodically her face with the powder puff. In the Work Room. The following hints will be useful in the work room: Faded silks can be restored by being sponged with weak ammonia water and afterward rubbed with a soft cloth. Old .black silks are improved by a sponge bath of spirit and water, and cloth dresses by being brushed with blue water. Af ter the gown has been thoroughly well beaten and dusted dip the bristles of a clothes brush into blue water and brush the dress quickly. To removc grease spots from a skirt of woolen or other material use benzine. Un pick the hem or band of the skirt and lay a piece of flannel or blotting papel -beneath the stain; above it put a sec ond piece of blotting paper, and or Sthis rest a hot iron until the stahn ih removed.

While the worm grows fat on hellebore, ashes and other Insecticides, he cannot stand enyenne. This remedy, while new, has been tested enough to establish its claims to merit. The Use of Ashes. Twenty barrels of unleached wood ashes would usually weigh about 2400 pounds. This amount would supply as much potash as would be furnished by from 250 to 300 pounds mliriate of potash. Double this cuantity of ashes might be used if the soil were quite seriously in need of lime, although such an amount would furnish more potash than would be required imme diately. Better results would be se cured by harrowing In the ashes than by plowing them under.-Professor H. J. Wheeler, of Rhode Island. Geese Are Clean Birds. In an Interview Mr. Renager, the Kentucky geese raiser, gave the fol lowing interesfing facts regarding geese and their habits: "A goose is the cleanest fowl alive. I have been in the poultry business since 1871, have handled all kinds of domestic fowl, and have studied their habits closely. They are constantly at work keeping their feathers clean, and if furnished with plenty of water they are never seen t when fit for dress parade. - "They are equally as careful regard ing their food. On one occasion we bought a lot of corn which had grown musty, and the geese would not eat the dough made from It. Nor will they eat dough after It has soured. On this account we have to be very careful to mix up no more dough than the geese will eat In a day. '"Another thing peculiar about geese Is that they eat a great deal more some days than they do on others. For In stance, It frequently requires thirty or forty buckets of dough a day to a given pen of geese. Then for a few days they will probably eat not more than a dozen buckets." -Southern Farmer.

Fix a little platform upon a post set firmly in the ground and ~lace a wire box with a few chickens In It on top. Place the traps around the wire cage, and If the birds are lentiful and hungry some will be caught. Hawks have 'the habit of alighting upon objects near what they wish to devour, and an extra post a little way from the chicken cage with a trap ingeniously fixed at the top so the bird will not suspect danger might he the means of securing some.-A.

In thinning out the fruit in the or chard during summer growth the fo liage and fruit left on the trees are not only benefited, but the general health of the trees also. In my owil experience I have found that this practice when judiciously followed has a distinct benefit upon the health of the trees, and hence enables themL to withstand the ravages from insects. This is a point that has not been em phasized much, but if you go into any orchard where thinning out is prac ticed you will find that insects are less destructive than in another where the let-alone method is adopted. The insects are destroyed by this process in two ways. When you make trees grow vigorously and thriftily you make them less susceptible to disease. Thus the yellows will rarely attack a peach tree in good condition, nor the blight and rot appear on apple and cherry trees that have an iron-like con stitution. One way recommended for combating fruit tree diseases is to fer tilize and cultivate the trees so they will be strong and healthy. The more important effect that thinning out fruits has upon the tree diseases and insects is In the destruction of the larvae of the Insects in the wormy and immature fruit. Now the larvae of the codling moth produces the wormy fruit on apple trees, and if these deformed apples are pulled off in the thinning out process scores of would-be codling moths will be killed. The plum curculio produces the wormy plums and cherries, and by destroying this immature fruit we kill them. There are many other injurious worms and insects that are killed in this im mature fruit, and thus the season's crop of destructive Insects is limited by just that number. Usually this in mature fruit never amounts to much, but eventually drops on the ground and dries up. The insects and worms then emerge forth and breed a new crop. In thinning out the fruit from any trees all the undersized, worm-eaten, deformed and unshapely, fruits should first be selected when very young. They should all be destroyed by fire or some other way so that the larvae of the insects will not escape. Throw ing them away or burying them mere ly gives the insects another chanee to grow and matute. It Is only after the poor fruit has been destrofed that the thinning process should be extended to the better class. Usually it is be: ter to thin only a little at a time, for sometimes the fruit with worms in them do not show any defect until quite large. If the thinning out is all done one does not feel like pulling oft more fruit toward the end. By lear [ng ot- e fruitt -Almost a Selr-HIver. There has been a great deal naid and written on the subject of self hiers, and a great deal of experiment ing, too, but so far we have not reached any degree of perfection. In QUEEN TRAP. an apiary of sixty hives or more it frequently happens that several swarms issue simultaneously, and, of course, always cluster together in one huge mass. If the queens are at large with the bees, the cluster will neces sarily be hived sS one swarm, and the queens will kill each other until only one survives. To prevent this loss, I practice in my home apiary a method with perfect success, which, while it is not exactly a self-hiver, still comes very near to it A week or so before swarming time I slip a queen trap on the hive entrance of each populous colony. .ust a word about attaching the queen trap, FIg. 1. The directions which accompany the trap are to fas ten it to the hive with two nails. It is not the best thing for a beekeeper to hammer on a bee'hive that Is boil ing over with bees, so I Invented the contrivance herewith shown, which consists of two small pieces of fiat iron bent at right angles and fastened to the trap with a screw, Fig. 2. To afix the trap to the hive, slip the fas teners under the lighting board. No matter how many bees are clustered all over the trap. it can be removed in an Instant without even a jar. When a swarm issues, the queen remains in the trap confined in an apartment by herself. I then remove tfr old hive and place an empty otr , Its place, also removing the queen trap with the queen, and then sit in the shade and watch results. The swarm will invariably return In from ten to twenty minutes and entet -the empty hive, for the bees mark the location and come back to their old stand after they have missed their queen. I then release the queen anc Slet her run in with the swarm. I thave had three queenless swarms t hanging in one cluster, but they re a turned to their respective hives.] I have also had them return and clustei 3 all on one hive. Such a mass of bee could not all enter, so I take a dust t pan and brush and divide them. t could not always get the right bee and queens together, but that seemet e to make little difference at swarmin; s time, when such intense excitemenl aprevails among the bees-F.
