GRAND SUCCESS.
Miss Clara A. Libby's Millinery Open
ing an Event Of the Season.

To say that Miss Clara A. Libby's Nil
linery Opening was grand success may
almost sound commonplace to the multi
tudes of ladies who attended this notable
opening and inspected the artistic Won
ders fashioned so skillfully into the lovely
and stylish hats that have been designed
and prepared by deft and ofttimes, tired
fingers The elaborate work each hat
represents this season, called for many
busy hours of both daylight and gas
light in order to be ready for the exact
ing display of pattern hats the public
have been educated to expect at the so
called openings of such millinery estab-
lishments. If one should take time to
mention the elegance, good taste and
beauty which characteriZes the decora-
tons of both the window and interior, but
little space would be left to note the
many new attractions and novelties oh
served among the magnificent exhibition
specimen hats are only for the rich. but
the display is wonderfully rich in variety.
If your finances require economy
you will not do well to covet
the rich and elegant long nap beaver
hats, particularly the one which
includes the beautiful bird of Paradise
among its trimmings. Miss Libby is for
tunate in having so many fine figures
two of which are in the south window.
for setting off to advantage the style and
elegance of her wonderful creations.
The long nap beavers. with the change
able effects. are very popular this season
and the abundance of birds and feathers
required in the trimmings can be mag
ined when it is seen that some crowns are
almost wholly of wings. some very brill
liant. White velvet hats are also a pre-
vailing style and white and orange also
appear to be favorite combination in
trimmings and among the new things
were noticed the lovely rainbow silks and
the Persian lamb crowns. Fruit trim
mings are also being much used this sea
son. especially grapes of all colors. The
military pOmpOms and the wheel pom
pOms are among the very pretty ana new
novelties for trimmings that all will adj
mire and the new patterns in French
laces add much to the richness and ele-
gance of the most stylish hats.
Altogether the ladies may be congratu-
lated on the changes that Dame fashion
has demanded for this fall, although the
very broad fiat hats cannot be worn by
ell and fortunately while this is the pre-
vailing shape. nevertheless. there are
other styles that will be more becoming
to and will better satisfy the taste of
many ladies. Miss Clara A. Libby never
had a more notable millinery opening, one
that included more elegant and stylish
pattern hats and her success is well de-
served.

OUR FARMERS.
MARKET APPLES IN NEW ENGLAND.

Some interesting statistics regard
ing the apple business in New En-
gland are supplied by Prof. F. A.
Waugh, horticulturist of the Vermont
Experiment station, showing in re-
markable way the popularity of GER
tain varieties.
The Baldwin apple, for example,
has been prime favorite in the New
England states, and especially in
Massachusetts, but its vogue seems to
be giving way somewhat before the
merits of other varieties. The follow
ing figures show the percentage Of
Baldwin trees in the orchards report
ed. The first column gives the per-
centage of bearing trees which are
Baldwins, and the second column
shows in percentages the proportion
of Baldwins among trees too young to

Riches and Starvation.

How many there are who have been
very successful in saving money, but
whose minds are as barren of any
thing beautiful as is the hot sand of
the Sahara Desert! These people are
always ready to invest in land, stocks,
or houses, but are never able to buy
books or collect library.
We know men who started out as
bright, cheerful boys, with broad,
generous minds, who have become so
welded to money making, SO alb
sorbed in their business, that they
cannot find time for anything else.
They never travel or visit their
friends. They consider it foolish or
extravagant to 60 to the opera or a
good play; the daily paper limits the
extent of their reading; recreation of
any kind is RELOCATED to a far away
future, and yet these men are sur
prised, when they retire from business
late in life, to find that they have
nothing to retire to, that they have
destroyed the capacity for appreciat-
ing the things they thought they
would enjoy.-Success.

In other words, Ben Davis outnum-
bers all the varieties previously named
in the recent orchard planting of
nearly every state. In Maine and
Vermont the drift toward Ben Davis
is especially pronounced; while even
in Massachusetts, it is rapidly gaining
on Baldwin.
These figures are made up from re-
ports secured from several hundred
of the leading apple growers in the
state named. While it would be too
much to claim that they prove any
particular proposition, they certainly
indicate some important changes in
the apple growing business of New
England.

How to Make Mush Bread,

This is one of the daintiest of all the
quick breads. Put pint of milk in a
double boiler; when hot stir in slowly
two thirds of a cupful of granulated
corn meal, either white or yellow.
Stir until the mixture begins to thick
en-; it must not be stiff, but little
more than creamy. Take from the
fire, drop in, beating all the while, the
yolks of four eggs; then stir in the
wellbeaten whites; turn the mixture
into a baking dish and bake in a
quick oven for about thirty minutes.

Success of College Graduates.

The boys in the public schools who
are looking to the future and asking
the question, "Does a college educa
ton paY?" may find an answer in the
showing made by book which has
just come from the press, entitled
"Who's Who in American" This vol
ume is printed each year, as refer
ence book on the notable people of
the hour in our country.
Out of nine thousand, seven hun
dred and sixty men, more or less emf
nent in various callings, five thousand
seven hundred and seventy five went
to college Or to one of the military
academies, and four thousand, eight
hundred and ten graduated. This is
not bad argument in favor of col
lege education, is it?
Twenty years from now, when the
publishers make book on "Who's
Who in American" you may be pretty
sure that there will be included in the
list larger number of boys and girls
of to-day who go to college than there
will be of those who stay away from
those institutions.
Only one-fifth Of one per cent. Of
the inhabitants of the United States
are college-bred men. Yet they fur.
nish thirty per cent. of our congress.
men, fifty per cent. of the presidents
and seventy per cent. of the supreme
court judges. The higher professions
are practically monopolized by college
men. This is mere illustration, but
it goes far in showing the fallacy OF
any statement which tends to belittl,
the value of college training. tn

Many a dollar is invested every
year by men who wish to make
poultry breeding business. Some
enter the market poultry line and
others the line of the fancy, and the
question is often asked, why do not
more of them make a success? Is it
the fault of the men or the busin ess?
That the business is not at fault is
evident from the fact that SO many
me have been successful at it. So
that the answer must be that the fault
lies with the men.-Poultry Herald.

The percentage of Baldwins is no
tably reduced in Massachusetts which
has been the principal New England
producer of this variety. In Vermont
the proportion of Baldwins is greater
among newly planted trees than in

been leading variety in Vermont.

A habit of looking at things from a
distorted angle, of focusing the vision
on things that depress and suggest
unhappiness and misery, is destroy
er of happiness and success. A man
who goes about with a funeral face,
thinking "hard times" fearing dull
seasons" disaster, panic, and failure,
wherever his interests center, is never
happy man, rarely successful one.
Pessimism is destructive force in
mems lives, just as optimism is con-

HOUSEHOLD.
In Atmosphere of Love in the Home.

An Atmosphere OF Love In the Home.
Nothing deepens the tendency to
excessive Inconsistencies in the
child more than the sense that those
about him fail to understand him. Of
course the child is apt to imagine
this even when it is not true; but
for that very reason we cannot be too
careful to make him recognize our
unfailing love and appreciation. 1t
is unfortunate that we are so often
ashamed of honest feeling, and i'm
agine that any expression of it is
weakness. This is sometimes carried
so far that in certain unhealthy social
circles a cynical attitude toward all
simple human feeling is regarded as a
mark of aristocratic breeding. But
among many other people of strong
AngloSaxon or Puritan heredity emo
ton is instinctively suppressed, as if
to acknowledge it were effeminate.
How often homes where really the
warmest affection exists are made
wretched by the rigid choking of all
outward expressions of love. One
notices, too, that in such homes irrita-
ton and bitterness are not apt to be
repressed with the same rigidity. 1t
should be part of our household relig-
ion to give constant and frank express
sion to our love, that we may create
in our homes such an atmosphere as
will exclude clouds of morbidness.
Further to avoid unhealthy self
consciousness there is need of positive
instruction in all the expressive arts.
Sound and healthy self-expression is
the safety-valve of the soul, and
every expressive art-play, speech,
music, manual work, painting, dra'
matte action-has not only the object
i've worth in the things of use and
beauty which are produced, but the
greater ethical value as means of
sanity and growth for the one who
attains creative REPRESENTATIVES
