DISTINCTION.

There is dignity in distinction. The
woman of distinction recollects this in her
speech as we'll as in her manner. To her,
words are weighty. Her vocabulary is
large, though it is devoid of slang, She
speaks prettiy, too, not with Affection but
just as it should be spoken, daintily pro-
nounced, clearly articulated, nicely and
carefully chosen as to words. Her voice
is well modulated, so that the subject che
discourses upon is aided, not alone by her
language, but by tones, the expression OF
her voice, talent more potent than ordi-
nary folk are apt to recognize. Yet with
all this, she avoids pedantrv-or, as it may
better he called, mannerism-recogniz
as she does, that this, though at the oppo-
site end of the pole to slang, is exaggeration,
and that distinction and eXaggeration, of
whatever kind, are quite at enmity.
Well informed upon current items, the
literature of the times, and the arts of this
and other days, her conversation is inteli-
gent, as well as interesting nor is she so
obtrusively elf-opinionated that she must
needs lay down the law upon every point,
instead OF allowing herself an opportunity
OF correcting her views and moderating her
conclusions.
1t is to educate their children to tread
the path of distinction that mothers should
be on the alert. Example is the best and
surest model, but example does not alone
accomplish all. From its very earliest days
in the nursery, the dominant note of a
child rs coming manner is struck. Teach it
the appreciation Of distinction and gentle
courtesy of true psliteness, the reverence
for aye and authority, the usual and sus-

The value of wool depends very much
on its quality, its fineness, evenness,
strength and length of staple, says Ameri-
can Shep Brseder, and these characteristics
are very carefully looked into by the buyer.
1t goes without saying that as the fleece is
part of the animal it is quite as Deepen
dent upon the feeding as any other of it is.
That is to say, the wool being derived from
the food and the general nutrition of the
sheep, any failure in these is Immediately
marked by an equivalent loss of quality
of it.

Should the trees be full of young fruit it
it will pay to pick off one-half Or more of

the tree will he less taxed and the fruit
left on the tree will develop and grow more
rapidly. 1t requires courage in a fruit
grower to remove the fruit, as it seems
almost like vandalism, but those who have
tried it report most satisfactory results and
state that they would not again allow a
tree to bear full crop.

Young turkeys are difficult to raise, but
the causes of loss may be traced to allowing
them in the damp grass and by attacks of
the large gray lice on the heads, for which
a drop or two of sweet oil is an excellent
remedy. These lice come from the hens to
the chicks, and will not be noticed unless
by careful searching on the skin of the
heads and necks. Rub the oil on the skin
with the finger.

Sweet corn can only be had early by
planting the dwarf varieties 1t may hap
pen that the ears are small, but rapidity OF
growth and earliness are secured only by
using varieties that are not compelled to
produce tall stalks and large ears. At the
time of planting the early kind such var
ieties as come medium and late should also
he planted. Stowell'a Evergreen is an old
standard kind that has done service for
many years and still surpasses many newer
kinds. Later planting can be made from
time to time, and with good judgment in
planting there should be plentiful supply
