Judging Poultry.

There are those who advocate that
all poultry at exhibitions should be
Judged by comparison, and not by
score cards. We do not favor this idea
at all. We want to see where the
judges think the prize winners are SUI
perior, and where they pronounce them
to be lacking in the points that make
up good bird. If the head, neck, tail,
legs or weight is not what they consid-
er up to the standard, let us see what
and where the fault is. We may not
agree with the judges, but we shall be
quite as likely to do so as we should
if they merely said that AS birds were
wherein the latter lacked the charac-
teristics that go to make up the per-
feet bird. We look upon the score card
as a means of educating the poultry
exhibitor or the keeper, or even the WIS.,
itor at an exhibition, which comparison
a fine looking Langshan, and found
him disqualified for "wry TAIL" He
had never heard the term before, but
he learned what it meant, which he
might not have done if the awards had
been made by comparison only, and he
might not have seen where his bird
was not as good as the one that took
the first premium. We think he has
taken some premiums since, but has
not shown any wry tail birds since.
Another man who showed some very
fine chickens at the same show had
them ruled out of the competition, or,
as they call it, disqualified, because
they were hatched little late, and
thus lacked few ounces Of the weight
required by the standard. If judged
by comparison only, we might have
thought the first prize ought to have
gone to them, though they were too i'm
mature to have been shown, and with
| out the score card we should not have
known why it did not.-American Cul

Bloomered Rainy Daisies.

A new style in rainy-day costumes
was exhibited in Philadelphia by two
women, evidently strangers in the city.
From the waists up the suits were
not unusual in appearance, but under
the long coats bloomers were visible.
The latter were made very full indeed,
and extended to the ankles, where they
met with mannish shoes. The women
were most ladylike in appearance, and
the striking suits had undoubtedly been
developed by first class tailors. The
couple We're evidently mother and
daughter. The older woman's suit was
a dark gray, while the younger ones
garments were OF blue broadcloth.-

Fitful Fashion of Earrings.

Earrings, with an outbreak of which

fashion. A hundred years ago they
were general. That was a time when

bonnet strings and under bands of hair,
and were of no account except to
hang jewels in. These jewels were
