Mr. Denman save that In the last year and a half the etlff-bosomed shirt has gone Into decided disfavor, larg numbers of men who have never worn anything but attff-bosomed ahlrts now Insist on having soft shirts for both winter and summer. "It is utterly unaccountable," said Mr. Denman. "The stiff sblrt to a business like garment. It wears well and looks well. But the men ef the country will not have them any more. The result is that shirt makers have their Business reduced te practically one -season. It used ta be that stiff shirts were sold for winter and soft shirts for summer, but It Is so no longer. Of course there will always be a sale of stiff shirts, but It haa become so limited with such sudden ness that makers have lost money." - - Tss, Xt X.

Plant -breeding to a Una coming Into oammoa use among enthusiastic fruit grower Fifty years ago, when Mr Downing wrote his famous book on fruits and fruM growlag we bad aot got beyond the Idea that species were some thing created, snd that their limitations oould aot be broken Into. Today the word species stands for little more thaa variety. ft means a variety somewhat better established la lta habits oC growth and fruitage. We ar even beginning to hear of two families crossing, and Inter marrying, like tha cherry and tha plum Mr. Burbank haa a new fruit, which he has e rested out of the plum and the apricot, namlag It alumcot. Of source tha fall area are more aumeroue than the eucesaful creasing even where the moat asuirui art is aaed. wnen sir. Burbank undertook to cross the dew berry with the pollen from the apple. quince, pear, cherry, strawberry and other Rosacea stock, ke secured some thing like t.00 seedlings. Xt waa the most curious lot of plants the eye aver rested oa: some like raspberries, some like strawberries, and some Ilka the apple. But of all thla crowd very few gave any blooms at all. and of those that did only two bora fruit Of the fruit a resembled a large blackberry and tha other a mulberry. Alas! for the ex periments neither of the new fruits bora any seeda Hera was a very promising oreat km ruo at once' to the ground. Mr. Burbank waa compelled to bura up 4. tea hybrids la on bonfire, and he tells us that It took It more' bonfires before , he had cleared his grounds. No on must enter the field of plant- breeding without expecting many fail ures, but if he has one success out of ISO experiments he may consider almsslf well repaid. Mr. Burbank baa aoeom- pllahed mora than any ether man la the world, up ta data along this Una of creating now fruits and flowers; per haps atone than all other men put to gether. He says Of bis work:. "Preconceived notions and all pereonal prejudice must be laid aside; wa must lists patiently, Quietly and reverently to the lessons which Mother Nature haa to taaeh. Man haa fouad at tost that he la a oart of the universe which to eternally unstable In form, and eternally Immutable In substance." It Is with this absolute reversal of the old philosophy of nature that our mod- n scientific ore hard tut begina his work Instead of Sverythlnc being eetab Mahed and fixed, divided up Into species. and Our room for experiment confined to modifying varieties, he anderstands that nature In all her forms Is "eternally unstable." With tblsadoa in mind Mr. Burbank went farther and preached the doctrine that there la not one weed or flower, wild or domesticated, which will not, sooner or later, respond liberally to good cultivation and persistent selec tion. Weeds are weeds because they are crowded, abused and lack encourage ment. A few are so fixed in their habits THINGS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN MOW Worn By We wax. From the New York Sua. A dreadful thing haa happened. Tha monocle for women has become a Uty. Co far as is known, there to only on of 'em yet. but Haavea only knows what may come of It. Tba wearer looked like an American la English clothes, and she made a sen sation when she appeared on Broadway on Saturday afternoon after the mati nee. Her monocle was so elaborate affair not the plain glass. kind dear te Clyde Fitch and seen la tha pictures of tba Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain snd his son Austen, but a glass with a heavily chased silver rim. from which dangled a long liver ohala passing around the wearer's neck. The woman wore a loose-fitting three- quarter coat of gray cloth, and walked with a stride. Che didn't seem to care that nine out of every ten persons she J passed turned to get a eecond look atl her aye gear; in fact, she appeared to enjoy the attention she attracted.
