THE PINE KNOT; - . 14 SOUTHERN PINES. N. jC. WOMAN'S WORLD. PLEASANT LITERATURE. FOR I FE3HNINE READERS. Two Parisians are introducing a4 en tirely new vegetable- which is exciting some interest. It is called choro-gi, aivV is a native of Northern Africa. It ' be longs to the mint family (botanical name Stachijs affinis). Its fleshy roots or tubers are only eaten, dressed like string beans or fried like fritters,' and are said also to make an excellent pickle. Hon. Frank P.

They bear the unmistakable stamp of Spanish blood in their proud and pas sionate natures, their raven hair, spirited' nostrils and;, graceful carriage; and all this is curiously tempered by their Irish inheritance ot blue eyes, laughing lips, quick tongue and stern regard for per sonal chastity. The native dress consists of a petticoat oi ! bright-red Claddagh .cloth and a long, full cloak of the game cloth, but ' J ' I darlr hlnp in rnlnr r.r,1 urif h o rloorv cnmil. being the most extensive producer, of , T,. . 11nmnrp than the shavl is to the north of Ireland James Tucker (colored) of Sandyitone, Sussex County, has the distinction of eggs ih New Jersey. His poultry yards contain 503 hens of the white Leghorn breed, and from the;e he obtains thirty dozen eggs a day. Mr. Tucker has been so successful in poultry raising that his methods are b(?ing widely adopted, and he is quoted as authority on questions relating to the business.

It covers the head, but does not hide a few stray locks of black hair; it fastens under. the chin, but reveals a glimpse of white neck, and the natural grace with whi:h its folds are caught up oh one arm and allowed to lall over the other might give a hint to a modern Galatea or "tinted Venus." Both cloak and petticoat are nearly half an inch in thickness, and have a shaggy nap or fuzz on the right side like a very rough blanket. They are hand-mjade by the peasants themselves, who take pride in making and wearing. They seem to have a special wreakness tor the petticoats, and the number, worn on a fair day indicates the richness and social distinction of the wearer each being made a trifle shorter than the other, that observers may be readily) impressed. The durability of tjese garments permits them to become heirlooms in a family. Old-fashioned hooD skirts are already : worn in New York by ladies who "have just returned from Europe." - j Green is seen in a greater number of , tints than ever before, from the darkest '; bottle green to pale chartreuse. j Three sizes of buttons are used" in Cos- : tumes large for skirts, medium for jack ets and small for closing bodice3. . Roses of velvet make a very appro- j priate and effective trimming for a fall ; hat! These are in various shades. j Yellow, brown and white is' a very 1 ladylike combination, and may b2 seen in some very stylish French millinery. Extremes meet in hats and bonnets, j thejformer being very large, while the ! latter are noticeable for their smailness. j Serges, with blue and gren grounds, j have fancy plush stripe? in green, brown, gray and cardinal, resembling plush trim- ; niing. (Vt " Wide yellownud is an English fancy j in trimming, ancn? is used on costumes j of dark red. It is more conspicuous than elegant. Jied remains in favor and is shown in a variety of shades, terra cotta, brick, poppy, ruby, cherry and cardinal being a few of the darker shades. t Rose pink, blush, salmon and shrimp are the even ing tints, and strawberry and raspberry are again seen. Basques are very short , at the sides, pointed in front and have in most cases postilion backs. A few pointed backs ar seen, but they are less popular than the postilion and much less gra eful and becoming. A few7 round waists are worn, and some dresses have been made with crossed fronts in surplice style, or. with one side in this fashion! lapped far over the other and laid in very closely pressed plaits all the way from the shoulder to the bottom of the waist.

Edith J. Thomas, in St. Xicholas. Humor in Children, At what age is a sense of humor usual ly developed? It jery rarely, exists in children under twelve. The funny things that small children say are not funny to them; the odd and startling questions they ask have to them no ele ment of the incongruous. It is usually only when they lose tue faculty cf mak There is real English thrift indicated in a recent tale from Cheltenham, which is a very enlightened town, especially noted for its many excellent schools. And yet the whole town is worked up over the alleged appearance of an old lady's ghost who wants to show some body where she buried o00 before she died. The municipal authorities, under the advice of the ghost, have offered 50 Beetles for Pets. i "Well; it's a singular thing what queer ward avenue jeweler. -The Manchette j 1 ' ignorance of the true relation of things. r. i..r. tj x ? n 4 i-ftr.nliar btrd. called the .Tamnese turn- I fancies some people get "i said: a Wood- ,j . lu.- ; .r.i.

Old-Time Way of Keeping Apples, At a recent meeting of the Kentucky State Horticultural Society, an old mem ber told how fortv years airo the farmers used to keep apples fresh and cri?p until June. Their mode was to put the fruil up in banks just as many now7 sav sweei. potatoes at the Suuth. At timo of har vest a spot of high, well drained land was selected upon - which to bank the apples.
