The Value OF Frankness.

There is no safety in the practical
dealings in ,ife between men and wom-
en- like clear, distinct, persistent frank
ness. The man WHO has nothing to
conceal and conceals nothing never has
to make any explanations, and he Sc
cures that confidence which protects
him from the suspicion that he is ho.d-
ing anything back which might influ-
ence the decision Of the person with
whom he is dealing. 1t is taken for
granted that lie has stated his whole
position without reservation. We are
constantly tempted to desert this high
plane of action because other people
do not meet us on Il; but our relations
with others ought not to be determined
by their attitude toward us; they
ought to be determined by our own in
dividual convictions. Ii ought to make
no difference how we are treated by
others so far as justice, frankness. and
courtesy are concerned. 1t Is astonish-
ing how the Grabbed temper yields
when Ii IS treated with uniform cour-
tesy and consideration: how the secre-
tive spirit gives way when II Is met by
perfect frankness; how the impatient
temper Is quieted and canned by pa
tience and forbearance. When we car.

Sometimes the little bodice beneath Is
made with neck cut out to wear with a
gulmpe, which makes the little school
costume pretty and light for the house,
while with the jacket she is well pro-
tected, in the street.
II the small school girl has rough
straw in dark colors trimmed with
bright flowers, she may wear 1t until
well into October, but for the new hat
n pretty one will be of the sort that is
made of braided fclts.
The Russian blouse effect, which Is
going to be so popular for her mother,
will appear in the little maids clothes,
but it is best to let the garment end at
the belt. The effect is bad II there is
any fullness below the belt and about
the hips, especially bad in heavy fab
rics. The miss of twelve and thirteen
will tuck herself into q blouse coat as
soon as the weather Is cool enough, and
her young brother of seven and eight
will wear one with wide leather belt
and fur collar above his long leather
Russian leggings. Little coats are al
ready In the store windows for the
three year-olds, and they are wonders
of lace, fur and furbelows.

The Care of Milk.

The following is a compilation OF d.
rections given by some Of the Western
cheese factories in connection with the
care Of milk.

after milking.
Place the milk In cool water soon af-
ter milking is done.
Place cans in cold water at once. Cool
quickly.
Practice cleanliness with a big c.
Milk pals, strainers, and coolers
should be washed and sca,ded ut each
milking.
Rinse cans in warm water, scald with
hot water. and air as much as possible.
Have cans washed and scalded thor
oughly and we'll aired.
Stir the milk at least two or three
times while cooling.
N@len the milk is cooling, cover the
cans with cheese-c,oth.
Do not put covers on the cans over
night, but use thin cloth.
Always leave covers off the milk I'M
til the animal heat has disappeared.
Never mix mornings milk with
nights milk until both are thoroughly
cold.

without Authority.

Z. III. Whitney, grand secretary Of the
Odd Fellows fraternity, sold the People
Saving Bank Building ut Lansing, worth
$4,000, on contract. All but $1,000 of
the amount was paid. Mr.. Whitney had
n deposit of $4,000 in the bank, which he
was about to withdraw, believing it inse-
cure. The cashier induced him to loan
the amount of the deposit to the bank and
accept security therefor on the building
contract. making his claim under that
investment, $1,000. He did so. The
bank soon failed. 1t developed that the
cashier had no authority from the board
of directors to make the loan and encum-
Der the bank property. The court held
that the cashier had no more right to en-
cumber the property than a clerk would
have to mortgage his employers store.
Mr.. Whitney must therefore accept divi-
dends on the $4,000 deposit which will not
amount to half that sum. His contract
interest is good for $1,000.

Lake Wawa,s Bottom.

John w. Hyman, of London, Ont. n
prominent politician and n man of con-
siderable means, has a scheme which he
will work in the Lake Wawa gold fields.
His plan is to pump sand from the bot
tom of the lake adjoining the Mackny-
Dickinson claim. The lake is from ID to
more than 100 feet in depth. Hyman
says there is good reason to believe that
gold will be found in paying quantities at
the bottom of the lake. He is willing to
spend some money to find out, and is now
ut the Canadian 500 for that purpose.
He has purchased $500 feet of pipe and
will take sand pump and outfit TO the
field at an early date.

Rain VS.. Irrigation.

1t is sometimes said that the farmer
who depends wholly on irrigation Is
really better off than those who farm
where rainfall Is usually sufficient.
The man who irr;gates has the control
of moisture supply in his own hands.
But this does not wholly apply to fruit
growing. In arid climates air. as well
as soil, must be kept moist to develop
the best fruit. For many years Cali
fornla fruit was dry and poor in quar-
ity, though fine looking. Now Califor-
mia air In the dry season Is less arid
than 1t used to be. and it's fruit Is bet

Ripening Tomatoes Under Co-er,

1t Is the habit Of many tomato grow
ers as the danger Of frost becomes inn
minent to pull up number of tomato
vines with little earth attached. and
throw them with their unripe fruit into
some building where the unripe toma-
toes will gradually turn, and the small
er ones will Increase in size and finally
ripen also. In this way 1t Is possible
to have tomatoes fresh from the vine
until near the Christmas holidays. To
matoes fully grown will color If picked
and laid on tie shelf. But they are
not nearly as good as fruit that is
ripened on the vine, which apparently
continues to perfect the fruit even after
It's roots have been pulled from the
ground.

Farms Under Glass.

1t is prophesied that the farmer of the
future will grow his crops under glass.
Hot-house fruits and vegetables may
then be raised for the poor and needy
on very cheap scale. Vast sections
of land may be rooted over it'll glass,
and a perpetual summer climate will
make the plants and trees and vines
flourish as in the tropics.

Corn on Outside Rows.

In cutting corn we always used to
notice that the outside rows where the
horse turned in cultivation had general
ly larger and better filed ears than did
the corn farther in the field. This in
dicates that corn is usually planted too
closely and does not get sunlight
enough. The outside row is not gener-
ally richer than the soil farther in the
field, and certainly the trampling of the
ground by the horses feet is no adj
vantage to the crop.

be that of a man about 40 years Of age.

heavy coupling pin attached to it, and
some believe it to be case of murder.
There was nothing on the body by which
it could be identified. The body was

by lice. Look around the head and

that II cannot be thrifty. Rub some
