make it SO. The style in fur muffs is
tor large ones, much larger than those
OF last year, and if one wishes to be in
style without going to great deal of
trouble, one has only to buy big fur
multi to match ones cloak and then rest
content with the purchase.
But there are many women who
strive for daintiness in dress and for
pretty effects, rather than for heavy
elegance with strict following of rcgu-

1t is these women who have a knacS

Let the ribbon be tied through the

The people of this country do not
vet know how to use the banana. In
the tropical climates, where the ban
ana. furnishes the principal article of
diet, the inhabitants have found
numerous methods of utilizing this
delicious fruit, which renders it at
once nutritious and palatabIe. They
boil it, they bake it, as we do sweet
potatoes; they peel it, cut it and fry
it in batter; they mash it into a
paste and dry it in the sun, as we do
apples and peaches. They make it
into buildings, pies, comfts and pre-
serves, and even smother it in sugar
until it is a candied fruit. In every
one of these ways it is both pleasant
to the taste and wholesome as an
article of food.

What fowls to keep on a farm is a
most important question; there is no

producers are wanted, one style of
fowls is necessary, and a totally diff

makers. True, there are some breeds
more popular than other, but when it
comes down to solid facts, and just,
unbiased comparison made of their
beauty and usefulness, their faults as

keeping and the pleasure they afford
their owners, there is little, very little
difference in their respective merits.

THE DISSATISFIED YOUNG WOMAN.

There was once beautiful young
woman who had the rare good for
tune to receive an offer of marriage
from a young man who was rolling
in wealth and living in the same lap
of luxury in which he had been
raised. He was SO madly and des-
perately in love with the young
woman that he was willing to agree
with any condition she might name.
Consequently, when she said she
would not marry him unless he went
into business, because she would not

Used to go into anything she might
name. Being an aristocratic young
woman she said she would like him
to become banker. He at once
went into banking, and, knowing
nothing of the business, failed inside
of two years after the marriage and
lost all his fortune. Being too proud
to canvass for hooks and too delicate
to handle a pickax, the young man
blew his head OF, and the beautiful
young widow was obliged to take in
washing until her knuckles shone
like the bosom of pair of 50 trous-
,ers. The moral of this fable teaches
us that we should always let suffici-
emily well off alone.
