Individuality in Hairdressing.

So far as clothes so there is infinite
variety. which helghtens the mystery
of the fact that when you have seen
one modish woman you have seen all.
Coiffures are large factor in this de-
plorable reiteration. And, not content
with having during the past few years
worked the high note to the point Of
WEAKNESS, we are now preparing our
selves to patiently and vigorously re-
tpeat the operation with the recently

Horse Nature Like Human Nature.

know an old mare who is decidedly
shy and viciously tricky for her age.
She seems TO dread close comradeship
and too much caressing from human
hands. Yet the other morning, after
a vain attempt to smooth her long,
lean nose, 1 moved away and leaned
against the stall, my hand outstretched
upon the manger rail. And what do
you think she did? She came shyly
after me presently, and touched my
fingers lightly with her nose. main
tained a discreet passiveness and she
grew bolder, nouthing along my hand
with her satin soft nostrils in q deli
cate, sensitive caress, light as the touch
of human motherhood. And then she
put out her tongue, exquisitely soft
and warm it was, and gently Tapped
my hand.
Oh, you old rogue! When 1 remem-
Der that winter day when you gave
me q hard spill on the frozen earth,
and the other day when you viciously
bit through the flesh Of my arm, what
wonder that L am amazed at such gen.
tleness! Yet I've no doubt horse ma
ture is very like human nature, in that
there is the good and the not SO good
in all its composition. and we love the
one by learning to condone the other.

Broad Tires Save Streets.

An ordinance will soon be prepared
which will provide for the regulation
of the width of tires on wagons used
in the city for heavy hauling. Ordi-
nances of this kind are enforced in
many Of the larger cities, and 1t Is
claimed that much wear Of street pave
ment is saved. 1t is said that one rea-
son the asphalt streets of st. Joseph
wear out so quickly is that many of
the heavy drays are equipped with
tires so narrow that they cut into the
pavement. 1t is designed to regulate
the tires by the weight OF the wagon.

After years of experimenting with diff
ferent methods scientists agree that
the only way of successfully fighting
the Hessian fly is to have the soil in
which wheat is to be sown in the best
possible condition, use varieties that
are resistant and sow the seed as late
as possible in the fall. The soil should
be so well fed and SO fertile that a
strong healthy growth Of wheat will
be secured in the fall even though
the seeding is late.-Indianapolis News.

SPIRIT OF ADVERTISING,
Remarkably Clever Article on the Sub,
jecS by n Sixteen Year Old Girl.

Remarkably Clever Article on the Sub,
jecY by n Sixteen Year Old Girl.
"The spirit of advertising" is tn:
theme which sixteen-year-o Ruby
Brooks dwelt upon at the Commence
ment exercises OF the California
School, where she was student, and
this is what she said:
ITO advertise is to make known and
to attract public attention to some
particular article. That it is, or rath-
er has, become an art, in fact,
science no one will question. Not
every one has 1t in his power to con-
coct something that will attract pub
lie attention and at the same time
make something known; and these
are the two essentials of a good ad-
vertisement.
"It is interesting to notice how the
movement of written advertisements
commenced. 1t originated in Amer
lea, as so many of the advanced ideas
have. In the old Colonial days a man
found a COW which did not belong to
him in his pasture.
"He conceived the idea of going to
the editor of their little paper and Of
having him make little item that a
stray COW had been found. The edit
or did so, and in a few days the own
er came after his COW.
This man to whom the cow be-
longed had ship coming in from
England, so he went to the editor and
told him he would pay him so much
If he would make q list Of the things
on the ship, which he, the merchant,
would have for sale.
"He sold great many goods because
of this little notice, so others did it.
Soon distinction was made between
advertisements and news, and great
movements began in this small way.
"There are over $200,000,OO0 spent
yearly in the United States alone for
advertising. But surely, all this ex-
pense and trouble is not taken by
some few who wish to make attrac-
tive signboards and to fill up the mag
azines and daily newspapers. No, the
parent of It all is competition. AS
competition Is the life of trade so,
too, it is the producer and instigator
of advertising.
"There is q constant struggle to
make ones goods more acceptable to
the general public than the next ones.
Did you ever notice that there is
scarcely an advertisement but con-
tains the adjective in the comparative
or superlative degree? 1t is always
better than that one, the best of all
the best known, and the very best that
can be made.
This great competition of rival
parties in the form of advertising,
while it may cause hard and antag-
onistic feelings, is the best thing pos
sible for the country. With it pro-
gress ccnnct stop.
"Let me give simple illustration
from schoC, life. A senior said this:
L never studied so hard as did when
I was a freshman. 1 never failed in
a recitation, simply because 1 was try
ing to get ahead of another pupil
You see, competition was the life Of
his study, of his progress. His reci-
tations were his advertisements.
"Besioes this competition between
against the old, although 1t is hard to
overcome a rival, it is even harder for
the new, the different thing, to over
come routine. But it must be done,
so that progress can be made, and it
is this spirit that permeates America
the land of progress and opportu1i-
ties."-Fourth Estate.

! FARM AND GARDEN.


There is one profit from sheep that
is not generally considered. which is
the increased fertility of the land oc-
cupied by them. The farms in Can.
ada that command the highest prices
are those upon which sheep have been
kept for years. the pastures ON such
farms being free from weeds, while
the crops grown thereon have in
creased every year, showing a gain in
fertility.

Where Fence Posts Decay.

In some soils and with some kinds
of stakes, there is q tendency for the
stakes to rot off quickly at the surface
of the ground. The alternate wetting
and drying at that point seems to cause
this. Repairs can be made without
tearing down the fence in the least

Gas is the cheapest and most easily
managed of all fuels, provided care is
given to its use. A good gas stove well

on as shown in the cut, and the fence
will be well supported for many years.
A somewhat similar contrivance might
be used for making a movable fence.
The post, in this case, would not go
into the ground at all, but the fence
would be supported by the broad base.

Michael Kelley Flies High Again.

the top landing and his head pointing
downward. The other members of
the household with the exception of
Mrs. Patrick Austin. had gone to the
neighbors. Kelley was kept in the
lookup until Monday morning. when
he was arraigned on the charge of in
toXication. He pleaded guilty and
was fined s. and costs. He was
then charged with disturbing the
peace, to which he pleaded not guilty.
His mother. Mrs. John Houghton of
Vernon street testified that Kelley
struck her several times and tore her
clothes. The familiar scenes in the
house of correction foated past Kel-
levs mental vision, which caused him
to eXclaim: Don't send me to Rutland
mother. YOU know I wouldn't have
done it if had been all right There
is already one charge against me-
His mother allowed that he wouldn't
have struck her if he had not been
drunk, but thought it would he a good
temperance lesson for him if he was

Newton imposed a fine of $40 and
costs for disturbing the peace. Kel-
lev was taken back to the lookup,
He asked his mother to come in to
talk with him. which she did, but she
was firm in her refusal to paw his
fine. On Tuesday morning Chief Hall
was preparing to take Kelley to New
fame iail to serve his sentence for in
toXication, when Kelley's mother
came around with the money and
settled the bill-$39.S1.

casions when neighbors come together

forth by the good neighborlness of
other neighbors. occurred last even
ing-the 25th wedding anniversary of
Mr.. and Mrs. Abbott b. Stone of -
Central street. The observance of
