Tinsel gauze is the very latest thing
for millinery.
Pearls, real and artificial. are the
fashionable rage.
Geranium pink and purple are the
two popular summer tones.
Pearls aud opals are one of the new

chains are worn at once, each having
different object-charm chain, watch,

silk muslin in fine side plaitings. A
wreath of yiolets heads this plating.

a narrow puff at the top and is quite
full. The waist has bolerO fronts and
ample sleeve rufiles of velvet.

Among the new straw hats are TO be
found not only those in the usual col

most delicate sorts. One may match

fancy.
Many Princesse dresses are among

saucily far above the hat crown.
An ideal hat is of rough straw. The
general effect is sailor shape. The
brim is a triAe wider in front than at
the back, which rolls mp against the

Prolific sheep.

English sheep breeders have by
careful selection improved the proli-
licacy of certain breeds of sheep. A
large proportion of the long wool sheep
will drop two lambs. The Dorset and
Shropshire breeds are most prolific,
though Lincoln and Leicester sheep
will more than double the number of a
Hook of ewes in a single year. This
adds to the value of these breeds, max
ing it possible to increase the flock
rapidly. We have heard few in
stances of Merino sheep casting twin
lambs. 1t would be well if these lambs
were interbred to increase the tend
ency. Enough is now known about
extra feeding of young lambs to make
twins profitable, even though the milk
of the dam be not more than enough

Mothers OF Great Men.

In recent sermon, the Rev. DIR.
Bristol, of Chicago, said: One of the
chief glories of the Bible is its recogni-
ton OF the dignity, rights aud useful
ness of woman. Where in any other
body of literature will you find so pure
respect and love for wife, so devoted
and self-secrificing an affection for sis
ter and daughter, so noble a reverence
for mother? The world generally in
its laws, literatures aud customs does
not treat woman i'll any of her relations
with the sweet, divine justice which
the good book inculcGtes. Travel
where You may, you find very few
monuments reared to celebrate the
genius, virtues and self-sacrifices of
womanhood, No holidays are legalized
IN honor of great women. Even the
queens birthday is not so much day
in honor of Victoria as of the queen.
On that day the English people cele-
brate the dignity of an office. not the
virtue3 and greatness of woman,
though she be the most queenly woman
and the most womanly queen in the
history of sovereignty Too many
women care more about an illustrious
ancestry than useful progeny. A
great pedigree has in it not half the
honor that belongs 10 great posterity.
1t Is nobler, more praiseworthy to be
the mother of great man than to be
simply the daughter of a great man.
From the days of Moses, whose mother
made possible his education, in all the
learning of the Egyptians, nearly every
great man has been honest to say: 81
owe my success chiefly to my mother. "
If liberal education is antagonistic to
motherhood so much the worse for that
miserable, pernicious type of educa-
ton. If society and its demands are
antagonistic to motherhood so much
the worse for that type of society.
What is a book or picture or song good
for except for what it can do for mems
minds, hearts and lives? For that does
the faithful mother give to the world
her children, that they may minister
good to the world. The religion that
honors mother will save the world.
good mothers give nations great men,

advantages to he derived from their

used for grading, and, AN old variety,

The Indian Game is good fowl for

cases where black hens with white

looks. deceiving all who are not famil-
lar with the breed in its purity.
Black or White Minorcas have the
characteristics of the Leghorns, so far
rs laying is concerned, and are larger;
therefore would suit some persons
when the Leghorns would not. The
eggs from the Minorcas are large-in
fact, no pure bred fowl lays larger.
The Houdan Ga French fowl, hav-
ing crest, beard and five toes on each
foot, are recommended very highly for
use on barnyard hens, but we have not
been particularly pleased with results
from such mating.
Dorkings are also prominently men
toned by many breeders, but having
had no experience with them, we can
not offer an opinion.
