nowadays seems to represent nearly
the whole social creed. The reserve,
dignity, modesty. self-denial of some
of the doings of good social life that
formerly made the southern girl an in
tividual, seem obliterated. 1t need not
be forgotten; the evil effect of this
social schiSm has not yet made its APP
pearance because this generation are
sons and daughters of the mothers who
were girls of the ''old school" These
have trained their sons To chivalric
sentiment, they make ready excuses,
which still come without effort TO
cover little faults. This but decpens
the conviction that chivalry must have
inspiration in the dependence of trust

But if girls may go here and there
without chaperonage, If health and
comfort are easily set aside to compass
some silly within OF going somewhere.

OF course, she has the right to sell
her claim to tender consideration if she
wishes. But, be it clearly understood,
having done So, she has not the right

How The Blind See

l also asked those who became blind in
youth, or later, whether they were in the
habit in giving imaginary faces to the
persons they met after their blindness.
and whether they ever saw such in their
dreams. Some answered in very vague
terms, but several undoubtedly make good
use of this power, probably somewhat on
the same basis as we imagine the appear
ance of en- inent men OF whom we have
read or heard, but whose features we have
nsver seen. When we remember how
erroneous such impressions often are, se
can understand how it often misieads the
blind. Such imaginary faces and scenes
also enter into their dreams, but to a less
extent than those of the sighted. DR..
Kitto quotes a letter from II usicien who
lost his sight when IS years old, but who
retains very strong visualizing power
both in waking life and dreams. The
mention of famous man, of friend of
a scene, always carries with it vizual pic
ture, complete and vivid. Moreover,
these images of his friends change as the
friends grow old and he feels himself in.

No better evidence of the advantage OF
raising sheep for mutton rather than for
wool can be given than the fact that in
England, where rents of farms are very
high, the mutton breeds are considered
Indispensable to successful farming.
Wool is regarded as only by-product of
the sheep. In this country on the con-
trary, wool ia considered of greater i'm
portance than mutton, but sheep here do
not pay as great profits as those in Eng
land. Everything depends on the mode
of manag ement. Our farmers compel
sheep to forage, while in England they
are treated as carefully as are cattle.

A TIMELY HINT.

If you have any doubt in regard to the
age of turkey or any large fowl, it is a
wise precaution to steam it until you can
lift the wing from the body with ease.
Do not stir it before steaming, but two
or three stalks of celery may be placed in
1T, and they will give delicious flavor to
the meat.
