One family Of my acquaintance are
allowed by their parents TO steal
fruit from their neighbours gardens,
and the mother gives abuse to those
who complain Of their depredations.
She is called a respectable woman,
yet she leaves her children utterly
untaught in regard to their duty
toward their fellow creatures.
Such children will grow up un-
principled and bad members of
society. Ifthey are trained in youth
to live honestly. and pay for fruit

IhinkiaE to Death.

Thousands of people actually
think themselves to death every year
by allowing their minds TO dwell on
morbid subjects.
The idea that one has some incip-
lent disease in ones system, the
thought of financial ruin, that one is
getting ON in life without improving
prospects-any OF these or a thou.
sand similar thoughts may carry a
healthy man 10 premature grave.
A melancholy thought that fixes
itself upon ones mind needs as much
doctoring as physical disease. 1t
needs to be eradicated from the mind
or il will have just the same result
as a neglected disease would have.
Every melancholy thought, every
morbid action and every nagging
worry should be resisted to the
utmost, and the patient should be
protected by cheerful thoughts, of
which there is bountiful store in
everyone's possession. Bright com.
panions are better than drugs and
plasters.
The morbid condition of mind
produces a morbid condition Of body,
and il the disease does happen to be
in the system il receives every
encouragement to develop. We need
more mental therapy. Suggestions.

plains. The trouble is that toe
many women eat them fer breakfast
and then, because eggs are heavy
food ana bring ON feeling of
lassitude, housewives neglect their
duties and husbands become angry
"lf fewer women ate eggs for
breakfast there would be fewer cases
of divorce" says Mrs. Rorer 1--WE
would not hear 80 much about wives
neglecting their work in the morn

the daily papers. Homes would be
kept more tidy, husbands would be
better satisfied with their helpmates
and the quarrels that disrupt fami-
lies would be recited less frequently
in the courts of the land.
IL do not mean that any woman
eats too many eggs at time. That
is not the point. If one woman
should eat one egg for breakfast
each morning, it would be too manv
The morning meal should be varied
And few women realise this. They
change the style of cooking the egg,

The Old Hen Gets there In Great shape
The American hen is achieving a
reputation not second even to the
celebrated American hog. She has
in fact become one of the wonders of
the world. As a wealth producer
she ranks with Aladin's lamp and the
Kimberly Diamond mines, with this
improvement over either, that what
she produces is good 10 eat. A sum
mary from the statistical reports as
to what this wonderful fowl can do
and has done, makes mighty interest
ing reading.
Her annual output is greater in
value than all the output of the
mines of gold and silver in this bully
country and you may also throw in
the product of the copper mines by
way of good measure and still the
hen has the whole aggregation beat
to fragile. There are 250,000,000
chickens in the country. The value
of. the poultry sold in the markets
during the year was $l36,000,000
and the value of the eggs harvested
was Sl44 900, 900, making total of
$3.50, 100000 to be credited to the
hen. The value for 1902 exceeded
the total value of the exports of

barely legible, is dated August 9, 1547,

According to Foreign Critics She Is

NEW YORK, Nov S.-Musical cir
cles are looking forward with intense
interest to the American debut on
Miss Marie Hall, the young English
violinist, who will make her first ap-
pearance in this country with the
New York Symphony orchestra at
Carnegie hall tonight. According TO
foreign critics Miss Hall is the great
est woman violinist of the Century and
the critics in Europe have spoken OF
her remarkable ability with unusual
enthusiasm. She is under contract to
NAV in fifty concerts and will re-
main in this country until March OF
next year Miss Hall first appeared
in public three years ago, playing first
in Vienna, then in London. Her sue
cess in both places was sensational
and since then her career has been un-
usually brilliant
Miss Hall has a rather romantic
history. She is the daughter of tai
ented but poor musician who was her
first teacher. They were so poor that
they were compelled to earn a living
by playing on the streets in small
English towns. In Bristol some music
lovers became interested in her and
furnished ner with funds to go to Lon
don and try for the Wesseley scholar
ship at the royal academy of music
She won it easily, but being without
money was compelled to forego the
privilege of free tuition, until
Cannon Mellows because interested in
her and enabled her to return to Lon
don to study. She studied with Prof
Kruss Wilhelmj and finished her mu-
steal education under Sevoik the
teacher of Kubelik.
