Bpecino rules are laid down for the benefit of the lady teachers on rainy days. When It Is muddy they may wear skirts to reach to the ankles and stop there, if they de Sire, but no lady teacher Is to be per- muted to wear a rainy-day skirt which . does not reach down as far aa tbe ankle St least Doubtless the proper author! ties wui be on hand on rainy days to make sura that none of the ladies vln . i lata the rule, by even a finger's breadth.

From the New York Papers. James Henry Smith, New York's rich est bachelor, who paid $1,000,000 for the magnificent house of the late William C Whitney, haa been known as a lav ish 'entertainer since he entered society after the death of his uncle, whose for tune had been unsuspeoted, and which was added to a fortune which Mr. Smith had amassed in his brokerage offloe down town. He Is said to be the largest single holder of St Paul securities In the country. ' The social affairs conducted by Mr. Smith have always been of a sort to be oome the talk of the season, without resort to ostentatious display of weird freaklahness, and now . that he is to make his home in the palatial residence designed and furnished by Mr. Whitney, he will ' become, more than ever a dis tinguished entertainer. Mr. Smith was a rich and successful broker in New York long before the death of his uncle in 1109, but through tha Inheritance from that relative he took .place at onoe as seventh in the list of rich men in this country. He re ceived from tbe estate of his uncle $S0,- AAA AA . ' vuv.vvp, ..'" This, in addition to the fortune be had made by his own efforts, at once estab lished his place among ths millionaires of New York. Social success came quickly to Mr. Smith when he relaxed his business ef forts and entered upon the enjoyment of his wealth' and leisure. Mrs. Stuyve sent pish acted aa hi sponsor,, and he waa sooa recognised as one of the lead ers In the social clrole of which he be came a member.

All " prophecies of disaster to the French government based upon the ex traordinary crisis through whloh tbe na tion has been passing on account of M. Combe's law of associations, are falsi fied by the returns of the recent munici pal elections. , Because or tne shirting and complex constitution of French parties, these municipal results do not bear so directly and unmistakably upon federal policies as in this country they would do.

There is no berry on the face of the earth , that can stand the rough handling that the Hood River Clark seedling; but because of this our growers should not become careless. We should take all the more care to put up none but first-class berries in first-olasa shape. We ought to endeavor not only to retain ths . high reputation Hood River no.w enjoys but to add fresh lau rels to our name among fruit consumers. We can do this it every grower will use proper cara But if many do as some did last year, ship any old thing that grew on their vines, it wUl not be long until Hood River cannot sell ber berries. There wss one instance last year where berries from the south . . country were shipped to a Montana market and the berries stood up better than the Hood River berries, received there ths same data ' Why? Because is the Hood River car were several crates which had been put up by n one or two slovenly growers, who put In everything but the vines.
