for time of greater need. The thrifty
habits thus formed are a fortune in
themselves, while the money may
bring great help or pleasure in the fu-

Miss Edith Okey has graduated
from the Veterinary College of Toron-
to, where she made special study of
diseases of milk cows. She is practis-
ing her profession, and has three men
for her assistants. Cow doctoring
seems suitable profession for wo-
man. There Is no occupation for wo-
men more pleasant or profitable than
dairying. In Europe it is mostly in
the hands of our sex. Here in Amer
lea. with our improved machinery and
vast expanse of room, women can make
a good success with cows.

Cycling is growing tremedouslyin ia
| vor with Royal and fashionable ladies,
both in this country and abroad. Queen
Margheritta rides a bicycle, as does the
Duchess d'Aosta. Little Queen Will
helmina of Holland enjoys spin on a
bicycle, and the Princess of Wales and
her daughters we're frequently seen ON
similar machines when in Denmark.
Lady Dudley rides bicycle, as do
Lady de Grey, Lady Wolverton, Lady
Lurgan, Lady Jeune, Lady George
Hamilton, Lady Rosslyn, Lady Nor
neys, land Lady de Trafford and amongst
the Duchess who also disport them
selves on tricycles are their Graces of
Sutherland, Portland. Westminster,
and Manchester.

Adelina Patti, in a recent interview
published, says that her mother always
declared that her cry as baby was a
"song in itself-a melodious call for
help" Nine. Patti, however, believes
that she cried ''just as shrilly as any
other baby" She tells how she used
to trundle her hoop in Broadway, and
adds that she trundled it well. "What.
ever did l always put my whole heart
into it. Pm not sure that hasn't been
the secret Of my success all through
life." This is something to think about
for those persons who believe that gen.
ius is exempt from the necessity of
taking pains, Notwithstanding that it
has been definite as an infinite capacity
for taking pains. OF course, like most |
epigrams, this is only half-truth.
There are plenty of people who have
the greatest capacity for taking pains,
but are guiltless of the least spark of |
genius.
