EVERY BOX OF THE GENUINE
A few English bop growers have
been trying co-operative experiments
with methods of cultivating and ferti
llzing. A plot of twenty-four acres
which for seven years bad received no
cultivation at all except enough to kill
most o f the weeds yielded 150 barrels
of green bops. Another plot of the
same size, deeply cultivated, gave 140
barrels. It is accordingly inferred that
fertilization is more important than
cultivation. It was concluded from
further experiments that the appiicu
tion o f fertilisers containing phosphor­
ic acid at the beginning of the blossom j
Ing period will greatly ln< rease tlie
product o f bops. Nitrogen requirement
seems to vary greatly with the differ
ent varieties o f hops. The English
«orts, it appears, require more nitrogen
tbau the German varieties.

Nothing point» out tlie well bred wo-

the takes when she sit» down. Th*
stamp of vulgarity Is marked upon the
woman who sits with her knees spread j
far apart, lack of refinement Is shown
by knees crossed offensively, lack o f
ease by stiff and constrained position
of the shoulders, a general carelessness
and Indifference by the very common
fault o f "sitting In the shoulders” —
that Is, of doubling the spine so that
tlie upper part rather than the lower
part of it rests against the hack of tho
chair, says the New York Herald.
Tlie body should be placed well back
upon the seat, chair, sofa or whatever
It may he. The feet should rest on the
floor, one somewhat in front o f the oth­
er, because it is easier to rise from that
position. The head must l>e kept well
up and the chest poised slightly for­
ward.
The lower part o f the spine may be
pressed against the frume of the chair,
but If one, after sitting awhile, should
need to rest a little more the shoulders
may ulso touch upon the same support.
The hands should remain as they neu­
trally fall from this position, hanging
at the side, or they may he placed eas­
ily over the arms or hack of the chair
or allowed to lie reposefully on the lap.
To rise properly from a correct sit
ting position there should he several
preparatory movements.
The chest Is first poised far forward,
nnd at the same time the f.»ot is drawn
hack under tin* scat. The foot drawn
in should l«> the one opposite from the
direction to he taken in stnrtlng up.
As you rise throw the weight firmly
upon the foot ill the rear. As the Issly
comes to Its full height change the
weight to the forward foot, so that the
other foot merely tom-lies the floor very
lightly. This brings you to a standing
position, ready to walk easily In the
direction you are going.
Ugly silling position and awkward
movements Iu rising will disappear If
these principles are followed.

A settlement worker, having been re­
queued by anxious mothers to address
the younger women of the settlement
clubs on “ heart interest” topics, decid­
ed to do so. She talked with the girls
earnestly, urging upon them the deep
and intrinsic sacreduess o f all love and
marriage relations, the coarseness and
vulgarity of indiscriminate flirtations,
the great and growing need for high
ideals, standards and action on the wo­
man’s part. Then, just as she took her
scat, it occurred to her that she might
have talked a little bit over the heads
of her listeners, and she sprang to her
feet with an added remark:
“ Please believe that what I say is
true, my dear friends,” she exhorted
earnestly, “ and please don’ t think 1
don’ t understand my subject. I know
what I'm talking about, girls—I really
do.”
Once more she took her seat, delight­
ed with the air o f general interest, and
from the rear of the room came tho

Too much matching Is not considered
desirable In house furnishing, as It Is
apt to result In a tiresome lack o f va­
riety. One authority says. "Anybody
can match, hut It takes a master hand
to Introduce the proper color touches
and produce harmony.”
FOR THE HOUSEW IFE
F lo «v e r D e d r s o m i.
The now fad for “ flower bedrooms**
is, fortunately, within the reach o f
people o f moderate means and hence
at the start has something to commend
It aside from Its novelty. As the key­
note o f a bedroom should be simplicity
nnd rest fill ness, what Is more appro­
priate than the flower idea? There is
I wide field for the exercise of one’s
Individual taste, nnd even a flat pocket-
book may be trusted to achieve pleas­
ing results, says the House Beautiful.
In planning for a flower bedroom one
must bear in mind not only the favor­
ite flower which the room will ulti­
mately represent, but the size, outlook
and the woodwork must all be taken
into consideration. For a sunny room
the sober colors are possible, but a
dark room demands light and cheerful
treatment.
In a city house the bedrooms far too
often look out upon an expanse of
brick wall. In one instance a room of
this kind was considered hopeless and
was used for a storeroom until the
flower fad came to Its rescue.
The owner o f the room chose tlie red
poppy as a motif. The dark woodwork
was painted white and afterward en­
ameled with the paint which comes for
that purpose. The floor was covered
with a white matting striped with
brilliant red. and the walls were pa­
pered with a cream colored paper over
which tlie scarlet popples rioted in
splendid confusion. The picture rail
was painted white, nnd the ceiling was
a faint cream color.
Dotted swlss curtains hung at the
windows, tied back with red ribbon.
The dressing table and bed had covers
o f cretonne in green and white stripe*
overlaid with scarlet poppies, and the
chairs had cushions o f the same useful
material. The lamp was shaded with
a silk poppy over Its globe, and a clus­
ter o f giant popples made o f crape pa­
per lay carelessly along the top o f the
window frame. A woven rug of the
prevailing red completed a charming
effect. The storeroom Is now one of the
prettiest rooms in the house.
