Ambitions Mothers.

Piano teachers have very often to face
an altogether unnecessary obstacle inter-
posed 10y the mothers of their charges
1t may be taken as an absolute rule that
no mother is capable of estimating Just
ly the extent Of the talent of her off
spring. Hundreds Of fines in our lives
we have all had occasion to smile over
the rapture Of young mothers. 1t is the
same when these children grow up and
commence art studies: all the geese be-
come swans. and. the number of young
PadGrcwskis now tlourishing would be
amazing, were one TO take a census
among mothers only. Then what these
mothers expect !: teacher to do! "p6cta

one that ambitious mothers should bear
i'll mind when they harass their children
about piano playing.
When Rubinstein was director of the
conservatory ut St: Petersburg there was
only one thing on earth that could awe
him, and that was the announcement of
an ''ambitiOus MOTHER | never knew

There is 10, form of cruelty fi1ore
wicked than that followed by many
mothers who condemn their children to
hours of pianofortc. practice. No child
under II years of age should be asked
to sit at the piano mere than two or
three hours a day, and this not at one
sitting. \ naturally gifted child is often
lazy. Even Rubinstein acknowledged
that he liked better to romp than to prac-
tice-at timcs-but:no amount of practice
will make Il pianist. if the innate talent
is not there, despite the ]oftiest ambition
of the most slave-driving Of mothers.-

Several specialists devoted to some
particular breed often group together
and style themselves Plymouth Rock
club or Buff Cochin club or any other
variety, as the case may be, says Farm
News. Ostensibly the aim of these clubs
is to improve and advance tho interests
of the particular variety with which
they are affiliated, and if this was ac-
complished and the work stopped there
all well and good, but tho trouble is
they don't stop at that point. In fact,
they frequently do not travel in that di-
rection at all, but go Off at tangent
after some senseless fad, the accomplish
ment of which not only means no gain
whatever for the breed from utility
standpoint, but often the reverse. Take
the Buff Cochin for instance. In the do
stroying hand Of tho fancy" it has rot
regarded from one Of our very best and
most useful fowls into useless, UNI
slightly and unclean mass of feathers. 1t
cannot produce eggs. 1t cannot produce
flesh, It's whole energy is expended in
producing an abnormal growth Of feath-
ors. Tho Buff Cochin Of today us tho
fanciers want it is worthless variety
and cannot be kept with profit in any
poultry yard.

1t is not until the middle of No
vember that the turkeys quit rowing the

persons think that it is loss to keep
them after they quit hunting for them

we believe we can plainly show another
side to the question. We will say that

ket averaged IL pounds. The same tur-
keys kept until the middle Of December
would average 10 pounds. The price for
the Christmas market was never known
to DO less than half cent above the
Thanksgiving market, and some years it

A few days ago new body OF ore
was ssruok In the Dalton branch OF

to the miners looked like good stuff.

Is sufficient to warrant Its being called
