POINTS WHEREIN THEY DIFFER
One OF the Sex Contrasts American
women Unfavorably with English.

One OF the Sex Contrasts American
Women Unfavorably with English.
Despite all the loudly expressed
opinions to the contrary, nothing can
touch the really smart English woman
as one sees her at the Carlton or at
Princes at the luncheon hour. There
is a bewitching, graceful femininity
about her that is in evidence in every
detail OF her costume and certain
something that, for lack Of better
word, we must call refinement.
Our most charmingly gowned women
in America have all tendency to ex.
travagance in dress and ornament.
The well-dressed English woman is
simple in her style, despite her frills,
and it is only in the evening, when she
puts on her lownecked gown, that she
allows any Of the daring extravaganza
that one sees so freely displayed at
our fashionable hotels on Fifth avenue
where women meet for luncheon.
Then. the English woman's face is
patrician even when she is far from
beautiful. The finely modelled noses
and chins, the long. slender necks are
the rule. and. although good eyes and
mouths are not 50 plentiful, the clear
lines of the faces under the frilly hats
are very satisfying from an artistic
sta andpoint.
Our bifurcated girl and our gentle.
manly young business woman. in her
stir collar and her four-in-hand scarf.
have, of course, stood for something
fine, vigorous and gloriously independ-
ent.
We have chummed with our mascu.
line kind to an extent that has made
the most popular type of society girl.
the racy, washing woman who above
all scorns any suspicion Of being an
ingenue.
Many of our younger matrons have
astonished restaurant groups by affect.
ing the style of the most popular ac-
tress or opera singer in the manner of
coiffure or Of corsage. It has been
absolutely impossible to detect the diff
ference between the successful demi
monde and the society leader. 50 far al
either dress or manner Is concerned.
And, at the same time, the English
woman of society is inclined to be fast
but she Is never unfeminine. For that
reason she never suggests that under
her baby lace hat and its chin tiea
turks the same deviltry, coquetry and
desire for the subjugation Of man that
first possessed Mother Eve and broke
up the light housekeeping in Eden

THE LIVING LANDMARK.

or our swift passage through this
scenery
OF life and death, more durable than we,
What landmark so congenial as tree,
Repeating it's green legend every spring,
Type of our brief but still-renewed NOR
tality.
Mems monuments, grown old, forget
their names
They should eternize, but the place
Where shining souls have passed imbibes
grace
Beyond mere earth: some sweetness OF
their flames
Leaves in the soil its unextinguished
trace,
That penetrates our lives and heightens
them or shames.

which is little over two years of age,

heavy for its web feet, and in order to
protect the goose from the frozen
ground this winter Mr.. Pinkham made
for the fowl a pair of rubber shoes
which fit on the two web feet. The
goose has been in the habit of laying
an egg about every day, and these eggs
are of enormous size, being as large as

POULTRY YARD CHATTER

Cheap food is always at the expense

No food is cheap that does not bring

poultry in the way it should be done
but it pays,
Grit, either oyster shells or crushed
granite, should be kept under cover

Air the poultry house once a day, no
matter how cold it is. Don't neglect
to clean out the House every morning
because "it is so cold"
Keep the cockerels and pullets sepa-
rate until couple of weeks before you
commence saving eggs for Matching
Both will be the better for the plan
The best condition remedy" for
poultry is good care, cleanliness in the
houses, variety of sound food, grit

Plenty of short, dry straw litter or
leaves under shed or in the house is
the way and place. Scatter a little

during the day. Late in the evening
give enough warm food to provide for
the required amount.

THE TWO WORKMEN.
One, Teetotaler, Saved a Competence,
While the Other Drank Up
His Income.

Thomas Brown lived next door to
Robert Smith, and both worked at the
same factory But, though they stood
side by side all day, they had very diff
ferent ways of spending their evenings.
Smiths pleasure was to spend the hours
with companions in the saloon, while
Brown thought his own snug chimney
corner pleasanter and cheaper.
Brown was a "stanch teetotaler," as
he called himself. He was hale and
strong, and he found he did not need
beer or whisky; he saw many of his fell
lOw-workmen and their lads slipping
down into the habit of spending a great
part of their earnings in drink, and
every now and then breaking out in
drunken revels. So Thomas resolved to
keep clear of the temptation to take too
much strong drink, by taking none at
all.
He was surprised himself to find out
how much money this resolve saved
him. He found that he had about 50 a
week to spare, after paying all house
hold expenses. He consulted with his
good wife what to do with this 50, and
they settled to put it in a building so.

So Thomas Brown took ten 500 shares,
and paid his 81 week to the society;
while his neighbor and shopmate, Rob-
ert Smith, spent his surplus 81 in the
saloon.

received a check on the bank for $4,000
with which he bought a house, which
brought him $3.50 week for rent
AS he still had 50 surplus from his
wages, and these $3.50 besides, he
thought he could not do better than join
another building society; and so he took
80 500 shares, and paid in his $3.50 a
week.
More years passed over, and the
building society paid Thomas $4,000
with which he bought more houses
which brought him in about $40 week
about $500 year.
About this time work began to be
slack at the factory, and the master sent
for Thomas and Robert, and told them
he was very sorry that he could no long
er find employment for them.
Both returned home. Thomas was
little sad to think that he should not go
to the old place, where he had worked
for so many years; but Robert had a..
heavy heart, and when he told his wife,
she pictured a dismal future, and burst
into tears
After their cherries supper, Robert
went out, but instead of going to the sa-
loon he looked in to see his neighbor
Thomas, and ask him what he was 60
ing to do; for Thomas, like wise man,
had not boosted about his savings or his
property, and few of his shCDmates
knew anything about it. Thomas was
at his supper when Robert came in, and
he asked him to sit down and join him;
but Robert was too excited to do that.
What is to be done, Thomas?" said
Robert; this is a desperate bad job"

''No," answered Thomas, but l have

Nay" said Thomas, 81 fear it is too

The Doctors Failed.

Kilgore, O., April ia rather re-
markable case has just come to light in
this place. Mr.. John L. Riege had been
suffering for some time with an aggra-
waited form of Kidney disease which had
caused him great deal of discomfort.
He tried the treatment of several doc
tors, but did not get any better. At last
he CHANGED to read an advertisement of
Dodd's Kidney Pills, remedy which has
been making many wonderful cures, and
he bought some at once and began to use
them. He says of the result
''Dodd's Kidney Pills Go just what they
are advertised to do. l can praise them
for the good they have done for me.
They cured me completely after the doc
tors had failed, and L wish that every
poor sufferer could hear of them, for I
know they will cure Kidney trouble"
