VARIETIES OF SEED CORN.

Every year new varieties of seed
corn are offered which are claimed will
give extraordinary yields. Farmers
should hesitate before investing in new
seed corn, except with Il small guam
Iity for experimental purposes. Corn
produces only when the climatic con-
ditions are favorable and varieties that
flourish south of this section may fail
when brought North. Frequently.
when the frost has appeared late in
spring, ana delayed planting, an early
maturing. variety may be required as
an early frost in the fall of the year
may destroy variety that requires
plenty Of time for maturing its seed.
DO not abandon the old and tried va
rictlcs until experiments demonstrate
that newer kinds are much better

Australian Girls.

Sir John Madden, chief justice of
Victoria. presiding at a lecture in
Melbourne on The Gospel of Beauty"
was somewhat severe on tho short
Comings of the average colonial girl.
He thought the standard of beauty
was as high in Australia as in any
other part of the world, but why do
uur girls and young won II walk and
talk so badly?" Every intelligent visi-
tor was struck with the vulgar, unin-
telligihc chatter of the women and
their graccless carriage in the streets.
Care and thought would remedy the
first defect; the gymnasium and the
looking glass ought to correct the

The Golflng Voice.

Golfug, it seems. affects the voice
of women. The necessity of frequent
ly discussing shot at long range in
the open air naturally strengthens the
voice, and women who spend the most
of their days on the links forget to low
err their tones when they are indoors.
The bicycle face was recognized, when
the fad for wheeling was at its height,
and the golfing voice will also become
recognized as distinct outcome of
the sport.-St. James Gazette.
