These bright costumes add wonder
fully to the effective appearance OF a
rink on one Of our Northern borders

skating, curling. and ice hockey as far
south as ice and snow may be had to

For skating purposes coats are all
close fitting, or. AT least. partly fitted.
They may be long, but are preferable

are discarded and smart blOuses are

What Is Quite Correct on Skates.
All kinds of skirts are worn on the
skating rink and all are correct, pro-
vided. of course. that they are simply
made. short and set well. Gored, pleated
and circular skirts are all pressed into
service for skating costumes as well as
the high corselet. or princess skirt. The

Generally speaking, skirts for the rink
are not trimmed. II trimming is en-

used in their selection. Skating coats
aim to be as jaunty. as smart. as at

The golf coat, the walking jacket and
even the hockey coat are all on the neg

HoJO TO Bring Up Girls

There are two distinct ways OF bring
ing up children. One Is by discipline,
and aims at teaching self-cOntrol by i'm
posing habitual submission to the con-
troll of others. The other works in the
opposite direction. ana aims at free
dom.
The child is encouraged to do what is
right from inner conviction, and TO learn
wisdom by experience. That the former
method is harmful is self-evident. and
requires no discussion. stnl, it is surpTis-
ing that so many young married folk
should show a tendency TO return to it.
and say that it is a harmful part Of
modern child worship TO argue and reas-
on with children while they are stiH
young. and before they are able 10

One thing is certain, and il is that the

The best cure for a kicking COW is
to try to find out why she kicks, and
to avoid the cause. Cows don't kick
for fun or for mastery" They kick
because they are hurt or startled.

causing them more serious pain and
terror with the whip than by milking,
but it is not right, and your wrong
method of milking may be %injuring

against her udder made her shudder

Probably a whip would have caused
her to stop kicking, but it would not

only when one teat was touched. The
other three were all right. The third

FRENCH INDUSTRIAL ARTS.
The Application Of Higher Training
to Trade Is Everywhere
Apparent,

Consul GOldschmidt, of Nantes, CON
tributes an extended article on indus
trial art education in France and it's
influence upon French industries. He
says in part:
There are at present in France,
aside from the national art schools.
300 provincial and municipal schools
OF fine arts, which are free to young
men and women While leaving to
each school the development of the
line of art suited to local needs, the
state gives direction by annual visits
of inspectors Of drawing. The applica-
ton to trade is practical and complete.
The administration of fine arts Sc
lects and sends the greater part of the
models useful to instruction, gives
prizes, scholarships, purses and en-
enlargement to pupils who have dis
t1nguished themselves during their
course of studies. The influence of ar
tistic training upon the industries of
France is paramount, and the ordinary
observer Is struck at once when ex-
aiming an article in the French shops
of home manufacture of it's superiority
over similar goods made in other coun-
tries. If one visits an art gallery or a
museum In France on Sunday, the
great interest of the working people
may be witnessed in the arts and
sciences. A conversation with these
workers reveals a general interest of
the masses in matters of art and its
general application"

Unless early and correct treatment is
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease is fastened upon
her. We believe Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is the most eff
cicnt treatment for chronic kidney
troubles of women, and is the only med
icine especially prepared for this
purpose.
When a woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding urination, swelling
of limbs or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices a
sediment in the urine, she should
lose no time in commencing treatment
with Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable

NOVEL LAMB E
Device by Which a Considerable
Economy of Shed Space May
Be Secured.

The cut shows an effective and prac-
teal lamb creep. The idea is valuable
on account of the economy of shed
space secured. A plank on which
cleats are nailed leads from the ground
up on a platform about 3h feet high.
On n side of this platform are ar
ranged the troughs for the lambs to
feed from, and it is remarkable how
soon the lambs learn to make use of
the whole contrivance. Lambs natur-
ally take to climbing. They can often
be seen to run to the top of a board

run up the plank, and the platform
seems to be an attractive place for
them to play; finding a little bran and

they soon learn what it is for. and it
is amusing to see them chase each
other up the plank, and crowd upon
