home an Eden. The severe style OF

much margin for Intellectual culture. A
simpler style of living and house-fur-
nishing would set many bonded slave

Imitation Kills Fashion.

A jeweller in conversation with re-
porter, the other day, made the very
true observation that Limitation kills
fashion," / have been forcibly struck
with this during the last few years. l
defy Tiffany & Co. to get up a design
that the cheap Johns cannot initiate.
You look through their cases, and you
sec fine specimens of Egyptian bangles,
in solid silver and gold, that cost ten
dollars and twenty-five respectively, and
you go to Daniels or Stern's and you
find the same design in washed silver
and rolled gold for one and two dollars.
Unless you take them in your hand, and
feel how light they are. you would never
suspect their genuineness. There are
those telescope lead pcncils-at Tiffany's
they run from twenty to one hundred
dollars, and even more when jewelled.
You can get one so near like that no one
can tell the difference for seventy-five
cents. Even furs are initiated. could
not tell half the time last winter, who
wore sealskin and who wore the imita-
ton.
The reason for all this is. that every
woman wants to dress as well as her
neigbbor, and If she cannot get the ex-
act materials of her neighbours dress,
she will have something so near it that
the neighbor will stand aghast when she
meets her. / have seen girls coming
out of tenement houses dressed, to all
appearances, as girls who come out Of
Fifth avenue houses. At casual glance
you can hardly tell the difference. In
the winter used to be continually start
led by meeting what appeared to be
young ladies Of fashion in the unfash-
ionable ncighborhood of the lettered
avenues. The tight-fitting jackets, coach
mems capes, large hats and long gloves
gave them, at distance, a most pictur-
esque and fashionable appearance.
Closer inspection showed the fur cape
to be imitation, and the other materials
of the cheapest sort; but the wearer was
quick of eye and nimble of finger,
and made herself look fashionable, at
least.

Turkey Breeding,

II Is notably established fact among
experienced cultivators of this kind Of
fowl, that young hen turkeys are not so
good as arc their elders for reproduc-
ton. They will not lay very large
number of eggs in season, but what
they do yield when set will produce
larger poults ut Matching, and their
eggs are also more certain to be fertile.
The turkey hen will often steal her
nest by herself in q fence corner, or
beneath an old pile of rails, but the
greater danger is she will wander of
too far from the house and her eggs be-
come the prey of skunks, crows and
other mischief-doers that either prowl
about in darkness or lie in ambush
awaiting plumber.
The best place for turkeys nest is
on the bare ground, taking care to
raise it above the danger of flooding
during rain and to shelter it above,
locating it in some quiet place. The
turkey loves privacy in these matters
rather more than the common hen, and
she is an excellent and very patient sit
ter. Indeed, she sticks to her business
so well that it is often recommended to
hatch more than one brood by one tur-
key hen, removing the first brood as
soon as out.
While the sitting is going on you will
need to pay particular attention to see
that the sitters are off their nest as soon
as proper. Turkeys stay on their nests
very faithfully. The process lasts a
month, but if the eggs are fresh they
will hatch day or two earlier. 1t Is
not necessary, however, to be very
careful about watching them. The egg
yolk comes in part with them into the
world and serves as nourishment for
somewhat more than day after hatch
ing. When you come to feed them, it
would seem. important to initiate this
food as nearly as possible; and with
this idea eggs in some form boiled hard
or made into a custard with milk,
skinned and clabbered milk, cottage
cheese and curds should form their prin-
cipal food in the beginning. Bread
crumbs soaked in milk, fine barley
meal or oat meal and hard boiled eggs,
chopped fine with curd and onions, is
an excellent diet for them until they can
partake of coarser food.
1t makes great difference in the
cost Of raising brood whether it is
early or not as brood that is of the
right size at the right time to catch the
first crop of grasshoppers will increase
apace, and to your advantage. If you
have ample space for them.to roam in,
or woods near by, you will be surprised
to see how industriously they will pick
the insects, nuts and seeds which come
in their way. With young turkeys
avoid fatigue, which creates unrest, and
without the natural rest the birds dwin-
die, pine and die. They ares also weak
from rapid growth, and are easily wor-
ried. Keep an eye on the flocks, as
they need especial care while young. In
warm sunny atmosphere they will
take care of themselves. The damp,
cloudy days worry them for the first
few weeks; but well over this period.
with covering on their heads, backs,
and wings, they are safe and can en-
dure quite an amount of drizzling rain,
or sudden and heavy showers. Damp
