CORRECT DRESSING.

The most important thing to learn
I'm correct dressing says an authority
is that all the necessary warmth is to
come from a union suit. No heavy
garments besides this suit are to be
worn for the sake Of warmth. even in
winter. In very cold climates it may
sometimes be necessary to wear two
union suits, but this is better than
to rely upon heavy skirts to provide
warmth. The Importance Of this prin-
ciple cannot be too strongly empha-
sled. 1t is the fundamental principle
of correct dressing, and means that the
underskirt need not be heavy, and that
the outside skirt may be of the lghtest
character. The great weight of wom-
ans skirt Is sometimes beyond belief.
Especially is this true of the golf skirts
and rainy day skirts. which are ad-
mirable because they are short, but
most undesirable because they are
heavy.-New York Tribune.

PRODUCING MUTTON.

Thousands of tons of grass land even

roadside which might be easily util.
lzed. A farmer lately made a few
movable hurdles. in which he placed
sheep. and pastured them along the
road, the farm fence forming one side
OF the hurdle. The hurdles were moved
forward daily. and the result was that
the roadside was cleaned off wherever
the sheep hurdled. while quite an
amount Of mutton was secured at
trihinG cost. 1t is worth practising by
others.

Makes important Recommendation.

State Superintendent of Educa-
tion Whitfield has commenced work
on the narrative feature of his bien-
NAL report to the Legislature. which
will be one of the most important
documents of this kind submitted
to the lawmakers. Superintendent
Whitfield will make a strong recon-
mendation for the establishment of
State normal school, to be con-
Quoted under the supervision of the
department OF education, and IN
urging this action he will have the
unanimous support of the school
teachers of the State. The superin-
tendent will also suggest the cstab-
lishment of a rural high school sys-
tenn. better salaries for county SUI
perintendents, and the placing of
new subjects in the common school
curriculum, including the elements
of agriculture, vocal music and
drawing.
